Just as Qiao Xi reached the entrance of the garden, someone called out to her.
"Qiao Xi! How dare you come here!"
Qiao Xi turned her head and saw it was Ou Lan.
Seeing Qiao Xi, Ou Lan was instantly enraged and stormed over, her face contorted with anger. "I got kicked off the show, lost three endorsements, and now I'm facing contract termination. Are you happy now?"
As she spoke, she grabbed a glass of orange juice and hurled it at Qiao Xi's face.
"Stop!"
A figure rushed over.
In the next second, the orange juice splashed all over Ye Sisi instead.
Qiao Xi, who had narrowly dodged: ???
Bro, you're supposed to be at the garden being forcefully taken, why are you here playing the hero for me?!
Ye Sisi wiped her face and bravely said, "You got kicked off the show because you're a homewrecker! What does that have to do with Sister Xi!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Ou Lan's face turned bright red with anger.
Their argument attracted a crowd.
Qiao Xi quickly grabbed Ye Sisi, "I'm touched, but you need to get to the garden!"
She pulled off her shawl, wrapped it around Ye Sisi, fixed her makeup, and pushed her toward the garden, "Don't worry, I'll handle this. I'll finish her off, and you can come back to collect her corpse."
Ou Lan, who was not deaf: ?
Ye Sisi felt reassured and walked ahead.
"Remember to go to the pool!" Qiao Xi called out.
In the garden.
Cheng Xi said, "The young master wants to talk to you by the pool."
Yu Si Nian glanced indifferently across the pool, just about to step forward, when a waiter caught up to him.
"Young Master Yu! Something happened to Miss Qiao!"
Yu Si Nian frowned and immediately turned around.
Across the garden, Li Cheng's amber eyes were fixed on his direction. After a few seconds, he set down his champagne and followed.
"This pool is so beautiful!" A soft voice rang out as he left.
Li Cheng hesitated for a moment before continuing to walk forward.
Ye Sisi looked at the shimmering pool water, her eyes sparkling with joy.
*
Splash—
Similarly, water splashed over Ou Lan's head!
Ou Lan was being held down into a fish tank, and when she emerged, she cursed, "Qiao Xi! You'll die a horrible death, you bitch..."
"What do we do with a foul mouth?" Qiao Xi asked the waiter next to her.
Waiter: ?!
"Black Tea Clean, keeps your breath fresh all day long!" Qiao Xi, out of nowhere, produced a toothbrush and began scrubbing Ou Lan's teeth!
Swish swish swish!
Swish swish swish!
"Kids, don't forget to rinse after brushing!" Qiao Xi continued.
Ou Lan was horrified, "Let me go! I don't... glug glug glug!"
When she emerged from the fish tank again, she tried to hit Qiao Xi, but her struggles were futile, and she didn't dare curse anymore.
When Yu Si Nian arrived, he saw this scene.
The entire room was filled with toasts, clinking glasses, and multi-million-dollar projects being discussed, while his wife...
Was brushing a female celebrity's teeth.
Eventually, a waiter helped Ou Lan away, and Qiao Xi made faces behind her back, singing, "Ou Lan! Ou Lan! Not that bad! Ou Lan! Ou Lan! Silly and cute!"
Ou Lan: !!!!!!
She wanted to go back and fight, but the waiter forcibly dragged her away.
The waiter asked, "Isn't being alive good?"
Ou Lan: "..."
Qiao Xi laughed wildly, and when she turned around, her gaze met a pair of amber eyes.
She looked at the man's strikingly handsome face, and information appeared automatically—
[Li Cheng: 25 years old, the male lead of this book]
Qiao Xi immediately looked behind him.
Where's Ye Sisi? The male lead is here, and the female lead isn't? Shouldn't the scene now be a rescue from falling into the pool, with the male lead carrying Ye Sisi home, leading to various captivity scenarios...
"What's your name?" Li Cheng spoke, his gaze locked onto her.
Zooming in, she could see the words flashing in his eyes: Woman, you've caught my attention.
Qiao Xi: !
Xiao 6: !
"Oh no, oh no!" Xiao 6 frantically searched for information, "This is the first thing he says to Ye Sisi! The plot must be misaligned! He hasn't met Ye Sisi!"
Qiao Xi gasped.
"Her name is Little Moon, the Dark Sorceress." A cold, clear voice interrupted.
Both Li Cheng and Qiao Xi turned to look at the aloof young man.
Qiao Xi: ?
Yu Si Nian, who allowed you to introduce me like this?
Yu Si Nian took a step forward and added, "Her identity is—your sister-in-law."
Li Cheng's expression changed slightly at this.
Yu Si Nian didn't care about the reaction and dragged Qiao Xi away.
"Ow..." Qiao Xi stopped.
Yu Si Nian looked down to see that her high heels had been flung aside, and she was barefoot, her pink toes curling on the ground.
Qiao Xi smiled, "It's fine, give me two more minutes, I'll have the fairy castle dug out."
Yu Si Nian: "..."
The next second, he picked her up horizontally and walked away.
"Hey, hey, hey, I have legs, put me down!"
Of course, no one paid her any mind.
Qiao Xi was stunned, her nose filled with Yu Si Nian's scent.
She looked back and saw Li Cheng standing in the shadows.
At the garden entrance, Ye Sisi appeared, soaking wet and her cheeks flushed, looking at the man beside her.
Qiao Xi squinted.
Holy crap! Isn't this the entertainment industry freeloader who took my five million?
Xiao 6 despaired, "It's over, it's all messed up!"
Several cars drove into the Yu family's main house one after another.
When Qiao Xi got out of the car, she was about to call out when she saw the young master passing by with a stern face.
"Hey," she called out.
Yu Si Nian turned to look at her, irritated, "What?"
Flirting with Li Cheng right in front of him! Even if she apologized today, it wouldn't be enough!
Qiao Xi: "Is your brother home tomorrow?"
She had to find a way to correct the plot. If she could arrange for Li Cheng and Ye Sisi to meet tomorrow, maybe the storyline could be set right.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yu Si Nian's face darken completely, his lips trembling with anger!
He stormed off without a word and slammed the door behind him!
Qiao Xi pouted, "What a temper."
She asked Aunt Zhao.
"The young master?" Aunt Zhao looked up, "He's home, tomorrow is the weekend..."
"I come back every weekend." The deep, magnetic voice sounded again.
Qiao Xi followed the voice and saw Li Cheng.
His amber eyes had that predatory look again as he stepped forward and handed her a cake box.
"Next time, you can ask me directly. This is for you. The waiter said you ate thirteen pieces after the show, so I thought you'd like it."
Xiao 6 was excited, "You can't take it! Absolutely not! He's trying to bait you!"
Qiao Xi refused the cake.
Unexpectedly, Li Cheng tossed it.
Thud!
The cake went straight into the trash.
"If you don't eat it, it loses its meaning," he said.
Qiao Xi: "..."
"How could it?" Qiao Xi smiled gently, "It still helps you show off, doesn't it?"
Li Cheng paused again.
"Rumble rumble—"
The sound of wheels interrupted them.
Qiao Xi turned and saw the young master, freshly bathed and in his robe, walking past her and Li Cheng, dragging a small cart filled with shopping bags.
Buying so much stuff late at night?
The next second, Yu Si Nian stopped between them.
He suddenly began unwrapping the shopping bags.
Qiao Xi: ?
The next moment, Yu Si Nian opened a hat and put it on his head.
—Green.
Fluorescent, too.
The young master turned to show it off.
"I bought some decorations. What do you think? Does it look good?"
