Chapter 207 Sister-in-law, open the door. I am his brother (6)
Recently, Ruan Guannan has been concentrating on the art exhibition, leaving home early and returning late every day.
As the second son of the Lu family, although Lu Chi did not inherit the company, he has a lot of assets and has been busy with his own company's affairs recently.
Ruan Guannan returned from the moon again because he had to organize the paintings for exhibition. He walked alone on the spacious road in the villa area and relaxed for a rare moment.
A luxury car passed by, creating a breeze that also caused Ruan Guannan's loose hair to fly in the air. The light from the street lamps fell on her, making her look like a gentle elf about to dance.
This scene fell into Xie Jinyi's eyes, causing ripples in his already restless heart.
Ruan Guannan watched the car back up and stop next to him.
Before she could be surprised, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing Xie Jinyi's noble and handsome face.
"Mr. Xie, you just came back too?"
"Well, I was busy at the company and it's a bit late. What are you doing?"
Ruan Guannan nodded in understanding and said with a smile:
"I didn't drive today. I just got back in a taxi."
Xie Jinyi's smiling brows slightly wrinkled, and his voice was filled with obvious worry.
"Taking a taxi is not safe. It is better to drive unless there is a special situation."
The smile on Ruan Guannan's face deepened, and even his voice rose a little more happily.
"Got it, thank you for your reminder."
Xie Jinyi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes hidden in the dark stared at her little face without moving.
When she looked over, he put it back calmly without revealing any emotion.
Because of Lu Chi's secret thoughts at the beginning, the two families now live not far from each other. Ruan Guannan can see Xie Jinyi's car driving into the villa even when standing at the door of the villa.
Ruan Guannan withdrew his gaze, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little.
It's good to be close, as the one who is close to the water gets the moon first...
In the next few days, Ruan Guannan always ran into Xie Jinyi, who also came home late. The two chatted occasionally, but most of the time they were just nodding acquaintances.
Ruan Guannan smiled and did not take these "little encounters" to heart, but this made Lin Pianpian ecstatic.
Xie Jinyi has been returning home more often recently than in the two years since they got married. How could she not think too much?
When Xie Jinyi stepped into the hall calmly, he saw Lin Pianpian, dressed brightly and running towards him like a butterfly.
Seeing that she was about to throw herself into his arms, Xie Jinyi took a slight step sideways and dodged, remaining indifferent to her grievances.
Although Lin Pianpian had gotten used to his distance, she still felt angry and bitter every time she faced his coldness.
But when she thought about Xie Jinyi's abnormal behavior in recent days, she quickly adjusted her mood and walked to the dining table with him.
Looking at the candlelight dinner on the table and then at her evening dress, Xie Jinyi let out a deep breath.
He suppressed his impatience and gentlemanly extended his hand to gesture for her to sit down.
Before Lin Pianpian could be happy, she heard his magnetic and pleasant voice.
"Lin Pianpian, take some time to do something you like, don't waste your time on me."
The smile on Lin Pianpian's lips froze slightly, but she soon shrugged indifferently, smiled charmingly, and said in a delicate voice:
"My husband is so rich, I just want to be a useless little guy now."
Xie Jinyi rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance, feeling speechless at her behavior that he couldn't understand.
But his good upbringing over the years did not allow him to get angry at a woman. He could only sigh and said in a deep voice:
"Whatever you want, I appreciate the dinner, go to bed early."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards his room.
Lin Pianpian supported her chin with one hand and looked at his receding figure wantonly. The obsession in her eyes finally broke through her restraints and became unbridled.
She picked up a strand of hair from her cheek and circled it around her fingers, playing with it slowly, and her determination to win him over became even stronger.
Xie Jinyi, no man can escape from my control, so don’t even think about it!

In order to have more contact with Xie Jinyi, Lin Pianpian racked her brains and thought of some ways, but all ended in failure.
When she stopped Xie Jinyi again, before he could say no, she spoke faster:
"It's been almost half a month since Lu Chi got married and we haven't visited him yet. Let's go today~ He's your good brother!"
Xie Jinyi subconsciously swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and the emotion in his eyes was unclear.
Thinking of the suppressed thoughts deep in my heart, I couldn't say no.
Just when Lin Pianpian was feeling a little disappointed, Xie Jinyi finally nodded.
"Since we live so close, we should definitely go visit."
After saying that, he walked around her and entered the room, his tone calm and indifferent, as if this was just a normal thing.
Tonight, Lu Chi and Ruan Guannan both returned home early, which was rare.
Ruan Guannan was preparing dinner with the nanny. For some reason, Lu Chi did not go into the room, but sat on the sofa in the hall watching TV.
But his constant glances towards the kitchen revealed his direct and unconscious true inner thoughts.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, and Lu Chi hurriedly ran over to open the door as if escaping.
As soon as he opened it, Lin Pianpian rushed over and hugged his neck, smiling brightly.
"Achi, Jinyi and I are coming to your house for dinner. Are you surprised?"
Lin Pianpian was smiling happily. Her facial features were pretty and she looked like a little beauty at first glance.
Especially now that she is wearing exquisite makeup, she looks even more radiant.
If it were in the past, Lu Chi might have subconsciously held her waist and responded to her with a smile.
But for some reason, he felt uneasy all over.
But after all, she was the woman he had loved for so many years. Lu Chi did not suspect anything else and thought that she was just unable to let go in front of Xie Jinyi, her legal husband.
But he didn't think about it. Xie Jinyi was sometimes there before, and he didn't think there was anything wrong at that time.
Lu Chi smiled and pulled her arm away, inviting them both in. Just then, they met Ruan Guannan coming out wearing an apron and carrying dishes.
Lin Pianpian poked Lu Chi's arm with a smile and said jokingly:
"Achi is so lucky. Your wife is beautiful and cooks for you. You should be happy. Don't you think so, Jinyi?"
Xie Jinyi's eyes were deep. He glanced at Ruan Guannan and then quickly retracted his gaze, replying with a low "hmm".
If it was the Lu Chi from the past, his face would have fallen if he heard her pushing him to others like this.
But he did not refute it now, but avoided Ruan Guannan's sight and led the two of them to sit down uncomfortably.
"Alright, alright, even eating can't stop your mouth."
The smile on Lin Pianpian's face paused, and she quickly pulled Lu Chi to sit aside, and asked Xie Jinyi to sit on the other side of her, as if she was the hostess of the house.
When Ruan Guannan came out after changing his clothes, the three of them had already sat neatly on one side, leaving only the seat opposite.
Ruan Guannan smiled slightly and sat down leisurely opposite Xie Jinyi, leaving enough space for the two people who were chatting.
Xie Jinyi paused, then lowered his eyes and fiddled with the chopsticks in front of him as if nothing had happened.
Ruan Guannan looked at the two people who were laughing and joking casually, as if they had endless things to talk about, and even ignored their partners.
A hint of gloom and loss flashed across Ruan Guannan's eyes, and this slight change was seen by Xie Jinyi on the opposite side.
He turned his head and looked at the two people next to him. He didn't pay much attention to them before, but now seeing them interacting beyond the normal social distance, his brows furrowed slightly.
Before the marriage, he knew that Lin Pianpian and Lu Chi had a good relationship, but because they were in different circles, Xie Jinyi had little contact with other people except Lu Chi.
Now seeing that the two of them can talk about anything, I'm afraid it's more than just a good relationship.
But this thought only stayed in his mind for a moment before he threw it out.
They all have their own social circles, and Xie Jinyi never interferes, nor does he want to interfere.
But looking at the fragile and sad woman opposite him, Xie Jinyi couldn't remain indifferent.
"Mr. Xie, would you like some soup?"
