"What happened?" Ling Fan asked as he returned home and looked at his aunt and Lei Lei standing downstairs.
Because during this period of time, Lei Wu was busy dealing with the affairs of the Qing Gang, while Ling Fan…ahem…was also busy with chasing his wife, so he specifically hired a nanny to take care of little Lei Lei.
"Mr. Ling, it's like this. When I took Lei Lei upstairs, I saw the door was not closed. I'm afraid it's a thief, so I quickly asked Lei to call you," the nanny said.
"Did you go in and check things out?" Ling Fan frowned.
"No, no, how could the two of us be a thief’s match? We can’t run fast. How dare we go in…" The nanny said with a worried expression.
"So you also didn't call the police?" Ling Fan picked his eyebrows.
"Eh, I was so anxious that I already forgot."
"Um, then there's no need to call the police now," Ling Fan said. Inexplicably, when he heard the nanny say that she didn't call the police, he felt relieved.
That…was probably related to the faint feeling in his heart…
"You wait here with Lei Lei. I'll go up and take a look," Ling Fan said as he was about to go upstairs.
"Well, Mr. Ling, be careful."
"Mm," Ling Fan replied casually.
A thief?
Hum! Given his family's situation, apart from that second-handed modified computer that may be worthy of twenty of thirty yuan, there was nothing more valuable than that. Even if the thief was blind enough and entered his house, he would have to come out crying since he completely had nothing to steal…
So…how could it be a thief?
On the other hand, the guess in Ling Fan's heart was even more certain when he saw that the door was not locked, to be precise, both the door and the lock were basically got scrapped.
Have you ever seen a thief this…violent, uh…to pry open people’s door like this?
If a thief really had this kind of professional quality, people would no longer need the police.
Looking at his door only half hanging there pitifully, Ling Fan didn't feel sorry for it. On the contrary, the corner of his mouth was slightly curved.
An idea, or perhaps an expectation, popped out in his mind.
Carefully pulling open the door (How could he not be very careful? If he was not careful enough, the door might directly fall), Ling Fan walked in slowly.
He was clearly going back to his own home. Why…he felt a little nervous and unnatural?
As soon as he entered the room, Ling Fan saw that figure sitting on the sofa.
The words "as expected" flashed through his heart, but for some reason, Ling Fan still felt surprised.
Although there was a hint of this guessing in his heart before, it was just a guess. It was even a little expectation from him. However, when he really saw him, Ling Fan didn't know what kind of expression to put on.
"Urgh…" Ling Fan opened his mouth but in the end, he still didn't think of the language he should organize.
In fact, just as Ling Fan saw Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao also looked up at Ling Fan who was walking in.
Before this, he had clearly counted the countless ‘crimes’ of Ling Fan in his heart and thought of countless reasons to settle the score with him. However, the moment he saw Ling Fan, Chu Xiao noticed the exhaustion on Ling Fan's face in the first place and a somewhat miserable look. The clothes on him were still those he had worn during the Lan family meeting three days ago. Obviously, he hadn't come back in these three days.
What's wrong with you?
Chu Xiao subconsciously wanted to ask Ling Fan that, but as the words came to his mouth, they were finally held back.
Why should he care about this heartless little bastard? Why did this little bastard deserve his concern?
"Huh, you still know you have a home?" Finally, Chu Xiao said that with a snort.
But…
Why did feel so much like a wife was complaining her husband who hadn’t come back home last night?
Ling Fan's mouth twitched but he didn't say anything.
What could he say at this time…?
But...He finally saw the person who he had not seen for three days…it felt really not bad…
Seeing that Ling Fan was just looking at him quietly, Chu Xiao felt that his chest was about to explode.
"What? No longer try to hide from me? Or are you going to show off before me about those nasty things you have done? Or are you going to inform me that you and Gu Ziming are together?” Chu Xiao stared coldly at Ling Fan and stressed every single word. His voice was so cold that it was almost frozen, but only Chu Xiao himself knew that every word he said was like a needle pricking his heart.
"If you don't want to die, get lost!" Chu Xiao shouted angrily as he glared at Ling Fan.
"This is my home…" Ling Fan said helplessly. However, looking at Chu Xiao like that, Ling Fan also felt a dull pain in his heart.
"So you want to die in your house?" Chu Xiao gritted his teeth and asked.
“…” It seemed like…he didn’t how to answer it.
After a few minutes of silence and waiting for Chu Xiao to calm down, Ling Fan finally spoke.
"You broke the lock," Ling Fan said, totally changing the topic.
"Then change it!" Chu Xiao gritted his teeth. Humph, he had long wanted to change it!
"And… the door is probably hopeless," Ling Fan pretended to make a sigh.
As those words came out, Ling Fan could almost hear the voice of Chu Xiao's gnashing teeth.
"Take it and buy a new one!" As he said this, Chu Xiao took out a wad of money from his wallet and threw it on the tea table.
Mm…The money should be enough to buy 10 doors.
…
However, the anger in Chu Xiao's heart calmed down a lot after Ling Fan’s gagging.
Wait, his anger got pacified a little, but not dissipated.
"Where have you been in the past few days?" Finally, he turned his head away and asked the question he cared about most in his heart...
However, Chu Xiao couldn't help but mock himself in his heart.
Sure enough…this little bastard got him!
Before this, because he felt so annoyed and irritable that he was going crazy, he left Chen Feng and others and came to that place.
In there, he had thought a lot, but most of it was on one thing: Why did he tolerate Ling Fan that little bastard like that? Why did he change because of that bastard? Why did he allow that little bastard do that to him?
Who was he? He was Chu Xiao!
Even at this moment, he still couldn't figure it out.
However, inevitably, when in there, even before he could calm himself down, he still couldn't help but come look for Ling Fan.
So, what was this?
Chu Xiao sneered but couldn't suppress the self-deprecation and bitterness in his heart.
Looking at the gloominess in Chu Xiao's eyes, Ling Fan had a thump of his heart.
"I went to your place." Ling Fan said without hiding anything. After a pause, he added, "I've been at your house for the past three days."
When he heard Ling Fan's words, a trace of disbelief flashed across Chu Xiao's eyes. His heart tightened.
"You…" Chu Xiao opened his mouth.
At this moment, he did not care how Ling Fan knew where he was living, nor did he bother with how Ling Fan entered his house, those problems…
What Chu Xiao wanted to know now was only one: Why?
"Why did you go to my house?" Chu Xiao asked and looked straight at Ling Fan, obviously not wanting to miss any expression change on Ling Fan's face.
"I was looking for you," Ling Fan said with a serious look on his face.
"Looking for me?" Chu Xiao's heart trembled, but he still glared at Ling Fan and said, "Looking for me to kill you?"
"No," Ling Fan paused and then added, "I was looking for you to explain."
"Meeting with the presidents of Xinghe and Zhongxia at Sleepless Night was to talk about the transformation plan for the club. I plan to turn it into a brand new integrated entertainment mall. As for the daughter of the president of Longteng, that was checking the management of the mall under Longteng as a shareholder. At that time, there were two other directors of Longteng. As for the little son of Atomic Technology, we just played five-in-a-row online to test their newly developed interaction project… " Ling Fan explained.
He was telling the truth, but after Zhou Xin that genius’ processing, it became like what Chu Xiao had seen on the Internet.
Although what Ling Fan said now seemed to be processed, subconsciously, Chu Xiao bought Ling Fan's explanation.
However…
"What about that Gu Ziming?" How are you going to explain him?
Thinking about what he saw that day, Chu Xiao still quite minded.
"Gu Ziming took care of me when I was a child, so in my heart, he has always been a respectful elder brother, that's all." Just as he said to Gu Ziming that day, Ling Fan also said the same thing to Chu Xiao.
"Also, that night, to show my gratitude for him taking care of me before, I treated him a big meal. After that, I went to your house," Ling Fan explained after thinking for a while.
When he heard Ling Fan's last sentence, Chu Xiao quickly caught the key point.
This guy explained to him, so this little bastard always knew about his existence that night!
Damn little bastard!
Having figured this out, Chu Xiao couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Ling Fan! I found that you are not only shameless, bad, but also childish!” Chu Xiao glared at Ling Fan and complained with each single word stressed.
But...After knowing that everything was fake, the corner of her mouth still couldn't help but curve.
He had really…
As for Chu Xiao's complaint, ahem, Ling Fan really had no way to refute it. After all...Chu Xiao's words seemed quite accurate too...
"Mm, and, when I was eating with Gu Ziming that day, I also clearly told him that I only take him as an elder brother." Ling Fan added.
Although this was actually caused by Gu Ziming's appellation problem.
Chu Xiao's eyes flashed when he heard this.
"Why are you explaining this to me?" Chu Xiao said as he controlled his face, especially the expression at the corner of his mouth.
"Because I don't want you to misunderstand."
