Chapter 417 - Framing (4)
"Nothing. A fly flew in," Lan Lie said nonchalantly.
"Seventh Brother, how can you let others stay in my residence!" Lan Ning"er"s voice sounded as soon as Lan Lie finished speaking. Then a red-dressed girl ran into the yard angrily and stood in front of Lan Lie to question him.
"Miss Lan Ning"er, are you questioning me?" Lan Lie said with a smile that was not a smile. He might seem easygoing in front of Leng Ruoxue and the others, but in front of others, he was the fully deserving and unquestionable young master of the Lan family.
"I… I am Grandpa"s most beloved granddaughter. How can you give my residence to others?" Lan Ning"er said very unpleasantly, but her tone subconsciously became much lower. After all, Lan Lie was the young master of the Lan family and the future patriarch. Even if their grandpa doted on her, she would probably suffer if she angered the heir of the Lan family. So she really didn"t dare to be too presumptuous in front of Lan Lie.
"Your residence? How is it yours?" Lan Lie said coldly without even looking up.
"Everyone knows that I live in Ning Xi Garden as long as I come here," Lan Ning"er said loudly. She looked at the people in the courtyard from the corner of her eyes. Hmph! Apart from Big Brother Leng, all of them are ugly. It was too infuriating. Lan Lie actually let these ugly people stay in her Ning Xi Garden. She was so angry!
"So what? They are my friends. They can stay wherever I allow them to stay. You have no right to ask," Lan Lie said without giving her face.
"You… Lan Lie, how dare you! I"m Grandpa"s most beloved granddaughter! I"m going to tell Grandpa!" Lan Ning"er roared furiously.
"Go ahead! I want to see how Grandpa will react when he finds out that his most beloved granddaughter actually yelled at the heir he chose. Don"t think that just because Grandpa dotes on you that you can look down on everyone. Let me tell you. I am the young master of the Lan family. What crime will you be charged with if news of you disrespecting the young master reaches the elders?" Lan Lie said very curiously.
"You… just you wait!" Lan Ning"er glared fiercely at Lan Lie, turned around, and walked away angrily.
"It really was a troublesome fly," Leng Wudi said lightly after Lan Ning"er left.
"You two bad fellows actually call the number one beauty of the Boundless Heaven Continent a fly. If her admirers know, just their saliva will drown you two," Lan Ming couldn"t help teasing.
"Who dares!" the two of them said in unison. Then they looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Everything was unspoken.
"Alas! Men are trouble!" Leng Ruoxue looked at Freak and suddenly sighed with emotion.
"Xue"er!" Freak looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly. How could Xue"er say that about him? He was cruel and merciless to all women except Xue"er. Well, he must have been implicated by these fellows. He looked at Lan Ming and the others. These three fellows now had the potential to be the source of trouble.
"Little Snowy!" Lan Ming also looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly, thinking, The real trouble is you two! Why are you maligning me!
"He"s the one attracting the flies and mosquitoes. I"m a pure and innocent child." Lan Lie pointed at Leng Wudi and plucked himself clean without any sense of loyalty.
"So Young Master Leng stinks? No wonder you attract flies and mosquitoes," Leng Ruoxue teased with a smile.
"…" Leng Wudi"s face darkened, and he was at a loss for words. He really couldn"t understand how a handsome and talented man like him became stinky in Leng Ruoxue"s eyes. Moreover, it wasn"t his fault that he attracted flies and mosquitoes! Boohoo… He was so wronged!
"Yes, he stank a long time ago." Lan Lie added oil to the fire fearlessly.
"Are you courting death!" Leng Wudi"s anger rose. He stood up and attacked Lan Lie…
"Ah, Leng Wudi is so angry that he flew into a rage. He"s going to kill someone! Help!" Lan Lie dodged Leng Wudi"s attack while shouting loudly and began playing hide-and-seek with him!
Just like that, the two of them engaged in a chase and battle in the garden…
Leng Ruoxue and the others looked helplessly at Lan Lie and Leng Wudi chasing and fighting like children. They felt that they should return to their rooms and gave the entire garden to them.
After chasing for a long time, the two of them were tired and lay on the gra.s.s. But when they looked up, they found that everyone was gone, and only the two of them were left in the huge garden.
"Uh! When did they leave? Boohoo… My Little Icy!" Lan Lie cried exaggeratedly.
"Don"t cry like a woman. That"s not your Little Icy," Leng Wudi said honestly. He was really helpless about his good friend"s daydreaming.
"Boohoo…" Lan Lie cried even more sadly. d.a.m.n Little Di Di is rubbing salt on my wounds!
"Cry slowly! I"m going to my room." Leng Wudi stood up, dusted himself off, and left Ning Xi Garden.
After a while, Lan Lie saw that no one was really paying attention to him. So he stood up, dusted off his clothes, and left.
***
Two days pa.s.sed quickly.
For the past two days, Leng Ruoxue and the others told Lan Ming that they wanted to cultivate and almost didn"t leave their rooms. In fact, they did this to avoid conflict with certain Lan family members. Moreover, they had been staying in Leng Ruoxue"s bracelet for the past two days.
In Leng Ruoxue"s room…
"Haha! Xue"er, we"re leaving the Lan family estate today," Leng Qingtian said happily. For the past two days, Lan Ning"er had always been looking for trouble with them. Fortunately, they were in seclusion and didn"t see anyone, so Lan Ning"er was stopped by Lan Ming.
"Grandpa, let"s pack up and set off!" Leng Ruoxue said. She had already told Lan Ming that she planned to leave early today, so they decided to set off before dawn.
"La.s.s, we"ve already packed up. Actually, there"s nothing much to pack," Old Zao said.. Their things were all in La.s.s"s s.p.a.ce, and there was almost nothing outside.
