Bite~

The oven machine sounded a crisp chirp.

Aunt Lan came back to her senses and took out the pastries inside, which were fragrant, but it didn't arouse her appetite.

She walked out with pastries, and only Cheng Zifeng and Lin Jiang were left in the living room.

"What about Jichen and Xiaohe?" She looked around with some confusion.

I heard them talking just now, why did they disappear as soon as they came out?

"Madame said that she felt a little bored, and the boss said to accompany her to the yard for a walk." Lin Jiang didn't know that there might be old acquaintances between her and Cheng Zifeng, and he was afraid that they would be embarrassed, so he answered first.

Aunt Lan put down the pastry in her hand and turned her head to look in the direction of the courtyard.

Sure enough, I could vaguely see the figures of the two of them, standing in the distance, as if saying something. It's too far away to be heard, though.

She turned around, smiled at Lin Jiang, and said, "I suddenly remembered that the steak at home ran out, can you go and buy some for me?" ”

"Absolutely." Lin Jiang nodded in agreement without thinking about it.

After taking two steps out, he turned around and walked back with some hesitation, looked at Aunt Lan apologetically and said, "Aunt Lan, the boss asked me to take care of Mr. Cheng here, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave now." ”

It's a bit of a distance from the city center, and it can take almost an hour to get back and forth.

In this state, Mr. Cheng can't leave people around him, not to mention that the boss just deliberately explained himself to stay here and take good care of him.

If something happens to Mr. Cheng if he leaves for so long, it will be his dereliction of duty!

Before Aunt Lan could say anything, Cheng Zifeng suddenly spoke, "Go ahead, I don't need anyone to take care of me, besides, isn't Jichen just outside?" I'm not going to disappear out of thin air, and I'm uncomfortable with you watching like this. ”

"This ......" Lin Jiang was a little embarrassed, looked at Aunt Lan and then at Cheng Zifeng, "But the boss said, let me take care of you every step of the way......"

Leaving the post without permission is the most intolerable thing for the boss!

"It's okay, you go, I'm here. If Ji Chen asked, I told him, I won't blame you. Aunt Lan saw his embarrassment and spoke.

With Aunt Lan's words, Lin Jiang thought about it before nodding and leaving.

This can't be regarded as an unauthorized departure from his post, after all, he can't help but listen to Aunt Lan's orders!

Thinking that he quickened his pace, hoping to be able to come back sooner.

Knowing that his figure disappeared at the door of the villa, Aunt Lan withdrew her gaze, glanced in the direction of Soho and them, and slowly sat down on the sofa.

"You shouldn't have involved them all in this." She sighed, although the matter had come to this point, it was irreparable.

"You've probably heard what we just said." Cheng Zifeng looked a little tired, leaning on the wheelchair and closing his eyes slightly, "They have been involved a long time ago, do you think that hiding from them can ensure their peaceful life in the future?" ”

Aunt Lan fell silent.

That's right, those people had already reached out to Soho and Luo Jichen, and the two of them were probably the targets of that group of people now. Hiding from them can only keep them calm for a while, but it will put them in danger without knowing it.

Moreover, in today's situation, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it.

"You don't have to worry too much. Jichen and Xiaohe are far less fragile than you think, their methods and decisiveness are probably as good as when I was young, I believe that soon things will be over, and then they can be truly calm. ”

Cheng Zifeng looked at her still with a sad look and comforted her.

In fact, with the participation of Soho and Luo Jichen, his heart is indeed a lot more relaxed. I only hope that the three of them can work together to solve the matter as soon as possible, and then she will no longer have to hide in this remote place and dare not see people.

"I know, but I still hope they can live a simple life." Aunt Lan sighed and wanted to say something, but saw Su He and Luo Jichen walking back, moved her lips, and stopped talking.

As soon as Soho returned to the living room, he saw Aunt Lan and Cheng Zifeng sitting facing each other, their eyes looking back and forth between the two, and asked, "Is it not the right time for us to come back and disturb your chat?" ”

"No, how could it be?" Aunt Lan smiled, got up and pulled her down to sit beside her.

"I've just made some biscuits, come and try them, I've only recently learned them, and see if they will suit your appetite."

Soho didn't ask, looked at the plate of delicate biscuits on the table, took a piece and tasted it, and praised it again and again, "Aunt Lan, this is much better than what is sold outside." ”

When Aunt Lan heard this, she smiled from ear to ear, and even squeezed out a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"You can taste it too, it tastes really good." She nudged Luo Jichen.

This is Aunt Lan's hard work in the kitchen for a long time just now, and she can't live up to it, not to mention that the taste is really good.

Luo Jichen glanced at the plate of pastries on the table, bent down, but did not reach out to take it, but ate the remaining half of the bite in her hand.

He tasted it carefully, swallowed it for a long time, seemed to have some aftertaste, gently wiped his thin lips with his index finger, and glanced at Soho who was still stunned with a light smile.

"Indeed, it's delicious."

Aunt Lan looked at them covering their mouths and laughing speechless, Cheng Zifeng coughed lightly and looked away.

Only then did Soho come back to his senses, and his face turned red when he watched the reaction of the two elders.

She glared at Luo Jichen fiercely, but the latter just smiled, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her behavior.

The two stayed at Aunt Lan's house until dark, and first asked Lin Jiang to send Cheng Zifeng back to the hospital, and then said goodbye to Aunt Lan and left the villa.

Luo Jichen drove to Su's house according to the road he had come from during the day, and the road was deserted during the day, and at night it was so quiet that he could only occasionally hear a few insects and birds.

"How long are you going to stay there?" He asked, holding the steering wheel in his hand, slowing down the car.

Thinking of her living there, Gu Zichen would visit from time to time, and the two of them were alone in a villa where no one was, and he couldn't stand it for a second.

Su Ho glanced at him sideways, and instead of answering, he asked rhetorically, "What are you going to do with Chen Xi?" ”

She had wanted to ask for a long time, but he had always used Chen Xi as the only clue to find that person, and did not let her accept the punishment she deserved. But now that Chen Xi's position and role in the whole matter have been figured out, he has no reason to protect her.

Luo Jichen was stunned for a moment, he hadn't had time to think about this matter yet.

"What do you want to do?" He asked Soho.

Seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of disposing of Chen Xi at all, Su He's heart sank, and he couldn't help but sneer, "No matter what I want, won't you stop it?" ”
