The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Lu Xun held back his laugh and nodded.

Lin Yiyi pouted a little. “They must have thought that I have cheated with you.”

They thought Lu Xun would even make a move on a married woman. Man, that look that they gave him…

Lu Xun stopped smiling. Instead, he stroked her head. Her long hair was soft and felt silky. It felt good under his hand…

Finally, Lin Yiyi said gladly, “Lucky I applied the facial mask!”

Otherwise they’d go right back up on the most trending list again tomorrow! She noticed that ever since her transmigration, she has been up on the most trending list a lot. It was not her intention to be that popular, alright?

Lu Xun laughed again.

***

They arrived at the Lin’s mansion.

Lin Yiyi was about to get out of the car before her wrist was grabbed.

Lu Xun called out to her, “Wait a minute.” Then, he reached over into the back seat. He fished around for a while to no avail.

“Let me help you.” Lin Yiyi reached back and fished around as well. “What are we looking for?”

“A paper bag.”

He didn’t elaborate and Lin Yiyi’s heart skipped a beat instinctively. Was it a gift for her? She was very excited all of a sudden! What would an owner of a company of his size give as a gift? Diamond necklace or bracelet would be too expensive…

A bundle of flowers would be enough, really. She didn’t need much! Finally, she located the paper bag. She opened up the bag. There was a folding umbrella inside.

Lin Yiyi, “……”

Lu Xun let out a sign of relief. Caringly, he said, “Good, we’ve finally found it. Take it. Don’t get wet.”

Speechless, Lin Yiyi left the car and went home.

It was late at night, and everybody was watching TV inside of the living room. When the door of the mansion opened up, four people and four pairs of eyes looked over right away.

Lin Yiyi looked up and almost wanted to take a step back.

“What are you guys up to?”

She put down her purse, changed into her slippers, and walked inside.

Housekeeper Zhang had already enthusiastically handed her a cup of hot water.

Ever since the incident of Housekeeper Zhang secretly taking pictures of her and Lu Xun had been exposed, Housekeeper Zhang seemed to have a guilty conscience all the time. Her eyes would dart around at all times. She refused to look Lin Yiyi in the eye. Later on, her guilty conscience had turned into ardent service, such as right now…

Truth was, Lin Yiyi did not blame her. It was, after all, the order from the empress of the house.

Ms. Lin Ping would not tolerate insubordination. Who would dare not carry out her orders? Not even Lin Yiyi herself, alright?

Lin Yiyi kindly accepted the water offered up to her from Housekeeper Zhang before she found an empty spot on the couch and sat down next to Ms. Lin Ping.

Ms. Lin Ping casted her a glance and said, “So you went out to dinner with that Lu guy?”

That disdainful and contemptuous tone reminded Lin Yiyi of how Ms. Lin Ping used the exact same tone when she used to talk about “that Meng guy”…

Now she switched right over to the next guy.

Lin Yiyi immediately put on her docile front. “He was always coming over to have dinner at our place. I have to give him a chance to repay me.”

Her words… They sounded so reasonable.

“How come you didn’t invite him in?” asked Mr. Gu all of a sudden.

Ms. Lin Ping gave Mr. Gu a stare for having interjected into their conversation aggressively.

Then, she lifted her prideful chin and said, “Yeah, are we that scary that he is too afraid to even come inside?”
