Sheng Xian pressed the doorbell when he reached the room.

After half a minute, Chen Kai opened the door.

Sheng Xian was greeted by Lu Jingyan’s extremely displeased tone, “Chen Kai, I think your cousin needs to dig out his eyes for the dogs to eat.”

Chen Kai, “....”

Sheng Xian, “...”

Lu Jingyan didn’t care who was at the door and continued, “Oh, sorry, I insulted dogs.”

Chen Kai, “....”

Sheng Xian, “...”

Chen Kai whispered to his Sheng Xian, “Cousin, I think it’ll be better if you stay away.”

Sheng Xian waved his hand, signaling for Chen Kai to move aside.

Chen Kai stood at the door, and lowered his voice further, “Bro, I’m not trying to scare you, no one can stop her when she’s throwing a tantrum. You’re just seeking death if you go in now.”

Sheng Xian became impatient, “Move aside.”

“Bro——”

Sheng Xian glanced at Chen Kai.

Chen Kai released the door slowly, and took two steps to the side.

Sheng Xian walked in with the white plastic bag.

Lu Jingyan was sitting on a sofa with her back facing the door. When she heard footsteps, she asked, “Chen Kai, is my water here? Bring me a glass.”

Lu Jingyan stretched her hand out.

Sheng Xian looked around the room, and took a bottle of water from the table at the side. He opened the cap and passed it to Lu Jingyan.

Lu Jingyan glanced up and drank a sip of water, “I’ve thought about it, I misspoke just now. How can Bo Mu be a vixen? She isn’t worthy. Your bastard cousin is worthy of the word vixen based on his appearance.”

“Yan——”

Chen Kai wanted to warn Lu Jingyan but Sheng Xian was already behind her.

He received a death stare from his cousin the moment he said a word.

He was so frightened that he hastily turned the words on his lips into a coughing sound.

Lu Jingyan continued, “Forget it, he can help whoever he wants. He’s just a scum after all.”

Chen Kai coughed loudly twice.

“Are you sick, why do you keep coughing? Go see a doctor if you’re not feeling well-”

Lu Jingyan turned to look.

She stopped talking midway.

Sheng Xian glanced at her frozen expression and walked over to her front.

Lu Jingyan stared at Chen Kai and turned back to Sheng Xian.

He looked very calm, as though he wasn’t just insulted.

Lu Jingyan cleared her throat and broke the awkward atmosphere, “What are you doing here?”

Sheng Xian remained quiet, and placed the plastic bag in a corner of the table.

Lu Jingyan asked curiously, “What’s in the bag?”

Sheng Xian glanced up at her, “Eye drop.”

Standing in the corner, Chen Kai chuckled.

Lu Jingyan looked in bewilderment.

Three seconds later, Lu Jingyan blinked and recalled what she had said a while ago, “Isn’t just crying, give me a few bottles of eye drops and I can cry too.”

“……”

She glared at Sheng Xian.

But he had already walked into the washroom.

She turned to glare at Chen Kai, “What’s so funny?”

Chen Kai immediately stopped laughing. “Nothing.”

Lu Jingyan look at the smiling Chen Kai emotionlessly, she fell silent for two seconds and waved towards him, “Come here.”

Chen Kai tried to hold his laughter, “What is it?”

Lu Jingyan remained silent, once he was in front of her, she grabbed a pillow, stood on the sofa and struck his head and face.

Chen Kai was worried she would fall off the sofa, he dodged her attacks and reached out to stop her, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Baby Yan, I’m really sorry.”

When Sheng Xian came out from washing his hands, he stopped when he saw the both of them messing about.

They were clearly very close.

Their actions were familiar and natural.

Sheng Xian stared for a while longer before walking forward, “Chen Kai.”

They stopped their ruckus.

“Ah? What is it?” Chen Kai asked.

“Auntie wants you to return back today.”

He was referring to his father’s current wife, his legal step mother.

“Ah? Didn’t we the night before at grandpa’s house? Why does she want to meet again today?”

“You can ask her.”

“When did she tell you about it?”

“This morning.”

“We have been together the whole night, why didn’t you tell me about it earlier?”

“I forgot.”

When Chen Kai was younger, his aunt had stayed with in his house for a very long time, and had played with him for almost his entire childhood.

They had a very close relationship, and naturally, he would do as she says.

Chen Kai was quite confused as Sheng Xian rarely returns to his father’s house so it was quite odd for him to have spoken to his aunt yesterday. But even so, he took his jacket and left.

Chen Kai closed the door on his way out.

Only Sheng Xian and Lu Jingyan remained in the hotel room.

She stood on the sofa and he stood at the entrance of the washroom, none of them making the first move.

In the end, Sheng Xian broke the stalemate, walking towards the sofa.

Lu Jingyan watched as he approached and remembered that he had handled Bo Mu’s contract and was probably her lawyer. She slouched against the back of the sofa and asked, “Are you here because of Bo Mu?”

Sheng Xian remained quiet.

Lu Jingyan hugged the pillow she used to hit Chen Kai, “If you’re here to talk about Bo Mu, you can forget about it.”

Sheng Xian stopped beside the sofa and looked at her, “Sit down.”

Lu Jingyan slid down the back of the sofa, “I already struck her. Isn’t it just compensation?”

Sheng Xian ignored her, bending down to open the small plastic bag.

Lu Jingyan tilted her head to play with the pillow. She recited a phone number, and said, “Take down this number, you can talk to my company’s legal department.”

Sheng Xian turned, “Don’t move.”

Lu Jingyan hugged the pillow and looked at him.

Sheng Xian held a few alcohol swabs, he bent down and dabbed her neck gently.
