章節 28: Chapter 28 don't mention her to me

作者: Purple Peony 機器翻譯作品

He Lanjin was about to drive away when she saw a group of police officers rushing into the hotel, forcefully arresting Director Huang. The director cursed and resisted, but the police officers came with batons and beat him to the ground.

He Lanjin sniggered when she saw Director Huang's trousers slip down as the officers dragged him to the police car.

She felt inexplicably amused and thought about He Ruoxue, whom she saw speeding away earlier.

If He Lanjin had not caught He Ruoxue having an affair with Lu Zifan, how would she know He Ruoxue's true colors? Today she put the phone in He Ruoxue's bag just to get rid of it. She did not expect He Ruoxue to be stupid enough to report herself. Why did He Ruoxue go to Director Huang, in the first place?

As she pondered this question, He Lanjin drove back to the Scenery Garden.

"I'm back." He Lanjin was in a good mood. When she came in, she looked at the spacious living room. On the sofa was Qiao Hanye, sitting lazily with his eyes closed.

He Lanjin took off her shoes and tiptoed forward. She mischievously rushed towards him and shouted in an attempt to scare him.

"Ahhhhh!" She moved closer to his side and shouted in his ear.

Although Qiao Hanye's eyes were closed, he caught He Lanjin by the waist as she moved closer. The movement caused her to fall onto his lap.

"You, you..." He Lanjin glared at Qiao Hanye as he slowly opened his eyes. She looked sideways at him and said thoughtfully, "I just saw the news and found out that there's a Jiang City pervert who likes to lay his hands on girls."

"Mr. Qiao, do you have such a hobby?" He Lanjin's voice was clear and sweet, but her thoughts were rational.

She did not struggle or try to get up from Qiao Hanye's lap. She was calm and collected, totally in control of herself.

"Oh? I thought Miss He wanted to steal my 'son' again," Qiao Hanye said as he raised his handsome eyebrows.

Hearing Qiao Hanye say "steal my son" reminded He Lanjin of the scene at the hospital. She made a joke and it totally backfired on her, with the man saying she stole his sperm. The thought made her face turn red.

He Lanjin quickly jumped up and said, "Don't. Let's put this matter behind us and call it even."

"Okay, Miss He. Now that we're talking like civilized people, I need to inform you that you need to pay the rent," Qiao Hanye said in a business-like voice.

He Lanjin stiffened. How would she make up for Qin Nan's mistake? Should she just make Qiao Hanye chase after her for the rent?

Scenery Garden was located in the best area of Jiang City. The mansion alone measured several hundred square meters, not to mention the expansive courtyard. Its price was so high that it made one's heart tremble. Although she was from the He family, He Lanjin was afraid that she wouldn't be able to afford the rent.

Her only reason for staying was her phone. If he did not take the phone, then she would not be here, and would not owe him rent.

"What?" asked He Lanjin, feigning dismay. "You took advantage of everything and you still want the rent? " She glanced at him with contempt and ran upstairs in large strides. She went to her room and slammed the door behind her.

Her back against the door, He Lanjin shook her head. Was she going crazy? Why didn't she just punch him in the face?

He Lanjin climbed onto the bed and started playing a video game on her laptop. The image of Qiao Hanye taking a shower surfaced in her mind. She got so distracted that her character got killed. Her phone suddenly rang, bringing her back to her senses.

"My, my, my. How can a thousand-year-old gaming expert actually lose?" Qin Nan asked, incredulous. "What are you doing?" He needed to know He Lanjin was okay. This was very unusual for her.

Looking at her horrible score, He Lanjin quickly logged off the game. "Nothing. I got nothing else to do. I'm just distracted."

"Don't tell me you're thinking of a man. Maybe someone as handsome as me?" Qin Nan asked narcissistically. You're making me nervous. Please don't fall in love with me. I'm just a legend."

"You? Oh, yes. I remember He Ruoxue has a very good impression of you." He Lanjin teased Qin Nan, knowing how he detested He Ruoxue.

Qin Nan thought of He Ruoxue's eyes. He was so scared that he almost dropped his phone. "F*ck, don't mention her to me."

After the phone call, He Lanjin got off the bed and opened the door to see if Qiao Hanye had left the mansion. She was ready to search the entire place and run off as soon as she found her phone.

"Oh." When she opened the door, He Lanjin bumped into a wall of flesh.
