Unfortunately, he reacted too slowly. By the time he came to his senses, he realized that things had already spiraled out of control. The girl he once looked down upon had now become someone he could no longer reach.
In fact, they could only become enemies.
“Sorry, I just happened to pass by,” Leng Yuan explained, thinking she was concerned about him staring at her earlier.
Seeing that he had no ill intentions, Luo Xi relaxed her guarded gaze.
“Have you seen your older brother?” As soon as she asked, Luo Xi regretted it.
She noticed a slight change in the young man’s expression.
“No one went out tonight. He should be in the study,” Leng Yuan replied with a complicated look in his eyes.
Luo Xi nodded at this and took a couple of steps, then she paused and turned back to ask, “Where’s the study?”
“On the third floor. Forget it, I’ll take you there.”
The old residence was large, with many rooms on each floor. Even if he told Luo Xi, she might not be able to find it.
So he took the initiative.
Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, not really wanting to interact with Leng Yuan. However, the dazzling array of rooms she had seen along the way made her realize she wouldn’t find it on her own, so she nodded.
Leng Yuan led the way, and Luo Xi followed close behind. The silence between them was so quiet that even their breathing could be heard.
Lin Xuan had just stepped out to take a call from her foreign boyfriend. Since Bai Yaya was sharing a room with her, she moved outside to avoid disturbing her. To her surprise, she spotted Leng Yuan and Luo Xi ascending the stairs one after the other.
Her eyes brightened. Without waiting for the other person to finish speaking, she hung up the phone.
As they reached the third floor, a clear female voice called out to them.
“Luo Xi! What are you doing following Xiao Yuan?”
Luo Xi and Leng Yuan turned around to see Lin Xuan, who looked furious. They exchanged glances.
“Looking for someone. What’s going on?”
“Looking for someone? You came all the way to the third floor to look for someone?” Lin Xuan glared at her in disbelief. “I heard from Auntie that you’ve been pestering Xiao Yuan at school. I guess it’s true!” she sneered.
Luo Xi twitched her lips.
Leng Yuan remained silent.
At this moment, Wang Yaru, Leng Youran, Bai Yaya, and her family went to the third floor after ‘hearing the noise’.
Seeing them, Lin Xuan pointed at Luo Xi and said angrily, “I saw Luo Xi secretly following Xiao Yuan up to the third floor. I have no idea what she’s up to! Does she still want to cling to Xiao Yuan? How shameless!”
Wang Yaru’s face darkened, and she spoke with disgust, “You’re already married to Minxing. How can you be so shameless, stalking my son in the middle of the night? What are your intentions?”
Bai Yaya covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, “I heard that Miss Luo was once Brother Yuan’s crazy pursuer at school. Could it be…”
Father Bai and Mother Bai looked at Luo Xi in surprise.
There was also suspicion in Leng Youran’s eyes.
They had all received Lin Xuan’s message at the same time and hurried up to watch the show.
They didn’t expect to catch Luo Xi red-handed.
“What did you say?” Luo Xi shot a cold glance at Lin Xuan.
“Hmph, you know what I’m talking about. I knew you wouldn’t admit it. I even took photos. Look!” She displayed two photos. They showed Leng Yuan at the stairs with Luo Xi following closely behind. The distance between them wasn’t far. At first glance, it did look like Luo Xi was following him.
Moreover, Leng Yuan didn’t look back, as if completely unaware of her presence behind him.
