Under the dim light, a layer of frost covered Yu Yihan’s delicate face, while Qin Menglu, slightly drunk, sobered up a little at this moment.
Although she didn’t know why Xiao Yufan and Yu Yihan were living together, Qin Menglu still keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere.
“I already said last time that you’re not allowed to enter places like bars ever again. If you show up at such frivolous places one more time, you can just pack your bags and leave. Don’t you have anything to say now? Or have you already decided to walk out?”
Yu Yihan said bluntly, a faint smirk of aloofness curling her lips. She herself didn’t understand why she was so furious. Could it be because she saw Xiao Yufan being close with another woman? But that woman was his cousin.
“It really wasn’t my fault. Menglu wanted to go to the bar. How could I possibly stop her?”
Xiao Yufan was somewhat irritated. Being scolded by Yu Yihan in front of Qin Menglu made him feel helpless, yet what else could he do while living under her roof?
“Is that so? I seem to see you quite enjoying yourself. I gave you time off, not for barhopping, and certainly not for flirting. I thought you had finally started to mature, but now I realize…”
“Enough!” Xiao Yufan cut her off before she could finish. Choosing silence didn’t mean he had no temper.
Taken aback by Xiao Yufan’s sudden outburst, Yu Yihan hesitated momentarily. This was the angriest she had ever seen him, and she began to wonder whether she had indeed gone too far.
However, her proud nature wouldn’t allow Yu Yihan to back down even slightly. Thus, the tension between the two remained high, the air thick with conflict. Meanwhile, Qin Menglu watched the two, feeling quite innocent and helpless.
“I’m tired. Can we talk about this tomorrow? I want to sleep…”
Qin Menglu’s slightly reproachful voice rang out between them. Her face gradually lost its flushed drunken hue, though her pale complexion after sobering up made her appear even more delicate and fragile.
“Hmph…” Hearing Qin Menglu’s gentle complaint, Yu Yihan gave a cold snort, withdrawing her murderous gaze and softening her eyes slightly as she glanced at Menglu.
…
Back in the bedroom, Xiao Yufan had completely lost his temper. The entire incident seemed to have little to do with him, yet Yu Yihan had been so furious, which frustrated him greatly.
“This woman must be on her period. Otherwise, how could she be so angry? Guess I just have to accept my bad luck…”
Muttering resentfully, Xiao Yufan dove under the covers. Finally back in the rental room, he could finally have a peaceful sleep, and other matters were beyond his control for now.
At this moment, in another bedroom, Qin Menglu stood somewhat pitifully in front of Yu Yihan, looking just like a child awaiting scolding. It was hard to imagine that this little troublemaker actually had someone she feared.
“You’ve really become quite something, managing to escape under Uncle’s watch. Don’t you know how worried he must have been?”
“I know he would be worried, but he can’t keep watching me forever. Before, it was because he feared something might happen to me, but now I’m already in my twenties. Why does he still treat me like a child?”
Her tempting lips curling into a defiant arc, Qin Menglu kept kicking the bedsheet with her beautiful legs, her voice filled with discontent. Even though she knew her father was being protective because he cared, she still had some grievances against him.
“After Aunt left, you became Uncle’s only comfort. If you’re happy, he would even want to give you the most wonderful things in the world. Therefore, you can’t keep making him worry like this!”
Yu Yihan was very fond of her cousin. They had grown up together, and since Qin Menglu had lost her mother at a young age, Yu Yihan felt even more compassion for her.
“Okay, okay, I get it, dear cousin. I’m really tired. Let’s go to sleep…”
Qin Menglu truly understood Yu Yihan. Once she got started, she might lecture her for days without stopping.
“Go to sleep, go to sleep. I really wonder how Uncle could feel at ease letting you come out. I bet you’d count the money for the guy even if he sold you!” Suddenly thinking of Xiao Yufan, Yu Yihan was still somewhat angry.
“Actually, Gege isn’t like what you think. He’s really nice, and at least I can tell he treats you well, cousin…”
“Just go to sleep already. Why are you so talkative all of a sudden?” Yu Yihan rolled her eyes at Qin Menglu, then turned off the lamp, restoring quiet to the bedroom…
