Chapter 471: The Jealous King of J City
"Boss Xiao, aren't you going in?"
Liu Lin raised his eyebrows to remind him, with an expression of wanting to watch the fun and not mind getting involved.
Xiao Yun pursed his lips and said stiffly: "I want you to talk too much."
Liu Lin placed his finger near his mouth, making a sealing gesture.
Xiao Yun looked at the door, took a deep breath, and then strode in.
When I walked into the main hall of the house, I saw Shen Lan coming down from upstairs. Our eyes met and the atmosphere was frozen for a moment.
Shen Lan was wearing pajamas and looked like she had just taken a shower. Her hair was still damp and spread out behind her, highlighting her delicate eyebrows, eyes, red lips and white teeth.
Xiao Yun clenched his hands, and the longing he had suppressed all day suddenly surged out. He moved his lips, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Shen Lan nod at him politely and distantly.
"Mr. Xiao, you're off work."
In one sentence, it was like a basin of cold water poured over one's head, chilling one to the core.
Liu Lin covered his face with his hands behind his back. He felt sad for his boss Xiao, but this was his own choice, so he really didn't know what to say.
The words that Xiao Yun was about to say turned into a stiff sentence: "Is the amusement park fun?"
Shen Lan's expression changed: "You have someone staring at me? Mr. Xiao, I am your subordinate, not your prisoner. Isn't this going too far?"
Although Shen Lan clearly misunderstood him, Xiao Yun's brows relaxed, and even the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up a little.
It seems that she was unaware of what was going on online. She had no idea that Jin Yu was trying to match her up with Liang Ye. Does that indirectly mean that she had no such feelings for Liang Ye and didn't know that Liang Ye liked her?
Liu Lin looked at the smile on Mr. Xiao's lips with a puzzled expression.
Mr. Xiao must have been so angry that he was still laughing even though he was misunderstood.
Shen Lan also noticed that Xiao Yun was smiling, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
What does that mean? Is he gloating?
Seeing that Shen Lan was angry, and Xiao Yun, the living father, had no intention of explaining, Liu Lin was worried about his life.
He sighed and stepped forward to explain: "Shen Lan, you misunderstood. Mr. Xiao didn't ask anyone to keep an eye on you. The reason he knew you went to the amusement park was that someone took a photo of you and Mr. Liang."
Shen Lan looked surprised and took out his phone to search.
Seeing those entries, she was speechless for a moment. It seemed that this was the revenge that Jin Yu was talking about.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I misunderstood you."
Shen Lan apologized generously. She is not the kind of person who would be stubborn even though she knows she is wrong.
But looking at Xiao Yun's expression, her eyes flickered, and she asked inexplicably, "Those online comments didn't cause any trouble to Mr. Xiao, did they? Is Mr. Xiao angry with me?"
His mouth was faster than his brain. After asking Shen Lan, he felt embarrassed and pursed his lips: "I just asked casually. It's okay if Mr. Xiao doesn't answer."
Xiao Yun looked at her steadily, his eyes complex and deep, filled with emotions that she could not understand.
"No."
Does this mean that it didn't bother him, or does it mean that he wasn't angry?
Shen Lan frowned slightly. For some reason, she felt that no matter which answer she gave, it was not the answer she wanted to hear.
Just as I was about to think about it, I saw a maid walking towards me in a hurry.
"Miss Shen, are you looking for me?"
Shen Lan's mind was stuck for a moment, and he nodded: "Well, I want to ask you, has anyone cleaned my room between last night and today?"
The maid was about to shake her head when she heard her young master cough lightly.
She glanced at the young master quietly and instantly changed her answer: "Yes, yes, we cleaned your room this morning."
"Then why did you take all my pillows away?"
The maid was stunned for a moment.
Liu Lin looked thoughtful and glanced at his boss Xiao. Sure enough, he saw that his boss's ears were red. He immediately understood.
He smiled and said, "It seems the maid was too busy and forgot to replace your pillow after washing it."
The maid nodded quickly upon hearing this: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Miss Shen, this is our oversight. We will prepare a new pillow for you right away."
"By the way, did you wash my pajamas too?"
The maid was stunned again, and heard Mr. Xiao's violent coughing.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun patted his chest and made up a lie with a blank expression: "The window was open and I got choked by the wind."
The maid then realized: "Yes, Miss Shen, we washed your pajamas too."
Shen Lan nodded and prepared to go upstairs to the bedroom.
Xiao Yun suddenly called her: "Have you had dinner? Dinner will be ready soon. You should eat first and then go back to your room to rest."
Shen Lan shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xiao. I have already had dinner with Liang Ye. When I came back just now, I told the kitchen not to prepare my dinner. Mr. Xiao, please eat by yourself."
After saying that, she nodded at him, then smiled and waved at Liu Lin: "I'm tired all day, I'm going back to sleep first, see you tomorrow."
This differential treatment made Xiao Yun's face turn black, and Liu Lin smiled bitterly in his heart.
My little ancestor, you really know how to cause trouble for me. You messed with Mr. Xiao, the jealous king of J City, and I am the one who got hurt.
Sure enough, after Shen Lan returned to his room, Xiao Yun immediately assigned him a series of tasks.
If Liu Lin had not been Xiao Yun's right-hand man, he might have been exiled to Antarctica to raise penguins.
Maybe it's better to have more work than not, Liu Lin said sarcastically.
"Boss Xiao, you took Shen Lan's pillow and pajamas, didn't you? This is not what a gentleman does. You are going further and further down the path of a pervert."
