Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 226 - 126: This Night, There May Be a Bloody Disaste

The house in Jinxiu Villas was much more furnished than the ones in Erald Mansion and Jiangnan Garden. Not long after Li Yuan’s family moved to Modu, they had acquired many things, giving the place a true sense of ho.

As soon as Xia Zhijin entered, she sat on the sofa in an adorable daze, her posture ramrod straight. Li Zixia enthusiastically grabbed her hand and imdiately bombarded her with questions.

Li Zixia was incredibly excited today. The girl her brother brought ho was clearly his girlfriend, which ant she was her future sister-in-law. Although she wasn’t the sa pretty girl from the photo, it didn’t matter. The one he brought ho had to be his official girlfriend.

Li Zixia sized up Xia Zhijin from head to toe, growing more pleased the more she looked. From her face to her figure, she was the type of flawless girl you couldn’t find a single fault with.

"Zhijin, how did you and my brother et? Are you university classmates?"

Xia Zhijin was also sneaking glances at Li Zixia. At only fifteen, Li Zixia had just started high school but was already quite tall at around 1.65 ters. Her face was youthful and tender, and she bore a strong resemblance to Li Yuan. She would definitely grow up to be a beauty.

Xia Zhijin nodded with a smile. "Mm-hm, Li Yuan and I are university classmates."

Li Zixia gasped, covering her mouth to stifle a giggle. "Really? University classmates? Then you and my brother can’t have known each other for long! He swept you off your feet so quickly."

"Zhijin, you have to tell , how did he pursue you?"

Hearing Li Zixia’s questions, Xia Zhijin glanced at the busy Li Yuan, her cheeks flushing, unsure how to respond.

She answered shyly, "I... I don’t really know."

The way she and Li Yuan had gotten together was rather strange. He had been the one taking the initiative from start to finish, and she never even had a chance to refuse. Just like that, in a daze, she beca his girlfriend. They had known each other for less than a month, and things had progressed at lightning speed. In fact, Li Yuan had never even formally confessed to her.

Seeing Xia Zhijin’s bashful expression, Li Zixia teased, "Zhijin, what’s my brother like at university? Is he a handful?"

Xia Zhijin shook her head. In class, Li Yuan was always the center of attention and the main topic of discussion.

She replied softly, "Your brother is wonderful, and he’s very good to ."

Li Zixia chuckled. "HEE HEE, Zhijin, my brother can have a bit of a temper sotis, and he’s especially lazy... If he ever dares to make you angry, just let know. I’ll tell our parents, and they’ll teach him a lesson."

"No, there’s no need. He’s very good to ."

Xia Zhijin nodded shyly. Looking at Li Yuan busy preparing dinner, she wanted to say that he was actually quite diligent.

"Are your parents still in your hotown? Haven’t they co back yet?"

"Mm-hm, my mom should be back in a couple of days, but my dad is overseeing the construction of a house back ho. My brother is always going on about that old proverb, ’Wealth that isn’t shown off back ho is like wearing finery in the dead of night,’ so he insists on building another house there. I really don’t get what goes on in n’s heads."

As a young girl, Li Zixia couldn’t understand the thinking of Li Yuan and Li Heng. They already had a house back ho that was less than two years old, and now they were spending hundreds of thousands to build a new one.

"By the way, Zhijin, where are you from?"

"I... My family is from the Chuanyu region."

"The Chuanyu region? That’s so far away!" Li Zixia said without thinking. Realizing her mistake, she quickly corrected herself. "But with airplanes, it’s only a few hours away. That’s not far at all."

"The Chuanyu region has been famous for its beautiful won since ancient tis. HEE HEE, Zhijin, you’re so pretty and you get such good grades. My brother really hit the jackpot..."

Li Yuan walked over and playfully pulled on Li Zixia’s hair.

"Chef Li, your sister-in-law is visiting for the first ti. Ti for you to put on a show."

Li Zixia swatted his hand away, grumbling, "Brother, since it’s Zhijin’s first ti here, shouldn’t you be the one to show off your cooking skills? Go on, show her what you’ve got and conquer her stomach with your specialty dishes!"

Xia Zhijin gave a gentle smile and quickly stood up. "No, really, I should be the one to cook."

Li Yuan shot a glare at Li Zixia before quickly turning back to Xia Zhijin with a smile and a placating wave of his hand. "Zhijin, you don’t have to cook today. It’s all just seafood and stuff. I can easily steam it."

He then casually ruffled Li Zixia’s hair again and warned her specifically, "Li Zixia, just focus on keeping Zhijin company. I’ll let you off the hook this once so you can enjoy a al you didn’t have to make."

"HEH HEH, don’t worry, brother. I definitely won’t tell Zhijin all your embarrassing stories from the past."

Li Yuan glared and pinched her cheek hard. "Zixia, if you dare blab, you can forget about next month’s allowance."

Hearing the threat of being cut off, Li Zixia panicked and imdiately begged for rcy. "Brother, I was wrong! I promise I’ll only say good things about you."

"Hmph. That’s more like it. I’m going to cook."

Witnessing this exchange, Xia Zhijin couldn’t help but purse her lips to hide a giggle. This was the first ti she had seen this side of Li Yuan’s personal life.

"Zhijin, where in Chuanyu are you from? I’ve grown up without ever really going anywhere else. I’ve only been in Modu for a month..."

"My ho is in Shancheng..."

...

In the kitchen, Li Yuan smiled as he listened to Li Zixia and Xia Zhijin chatting happily. For so reason, he felt an overwhelming protective urge toward a girl like Xia Zhijin, an instinct that made him unwilling to see her get hurt.

Zhijin and Zixia should beco good friends. Since they’re both in Modu, they can keep each other company when I’m not around, Li Yuan thought.

In the current situation, all he could do was double his efforts to treat Xia Zhijin well and make her feel completely secure. As for what the future held, not even he knew.
