"Well then, brother, this banner is for you. I'm off now."
Xie Yichang had never felt uncomfortable before; usually, it was others who felt out of place when they hung out with him. But now, he thought, this kid is quite something.
Liu Yuchuan couldn't wait for him to leave. Hearing those words, he quickly grabbed the banner and looked at Xie Yichang with anticipation.
Xie Yichang couldn't help but chuckle in annoyance; it was indeed awkward. He didn't say much more and left.
Liu Ru Yan was still on the phone, and it seemed like the call was taking a while. Xie Yichang began to suspect that she might be avoiding him. Glancing over, he saw Liu Ru Yan looking relaxed yet somewhat frustrated as she spoke to the person on the other end.
Liu Ru Yan had no intention of avoiding Xie Yichang; it was Lan Ruo Yi calling her to check on the situation.
"How's it going, Xiao Yan? Is it serious? Do you need me to come over?" Lan Ruo Yi asked anxiously. In fact, she had stepped outside while making the call and only paused when she heard that everything was fine.
"What? Someone got beaten up? And the person who saved them is a beauty?"
"Huh? A male beauty?"
"Is that a beautiful guy?"
Lan Ruo Yi didn't expect things to unfold this way and could only say that Liu Yuchuan truly lived up to his reputation. It was definitely something he would do.
"Your uncle is incredible!" Lan Ruo Yi exclaimed in awe, unsure of what else to say.
"Don't even get me started! Seriously, my uncle is amazing!" Liu Ru Yan chimed in, suddenly praising Liu Yuchuan. Lan Ruo Yi understood; Liu Yuchuan had just arrived.
Liu Yuchuan looked at Liu Ru Yan, who had been on the phone for quite some time, his eyes narrowing with sarcasm. "Oh, look at our busy bee! I wonder how much money you're making while taking calls at this hour."
Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi exchanged glances, feeling a pang in their hearts.
"Uncle, why don't you just sew your mouth shut?" Liu Ru Yan remarked, surprised by how harshly one person could speak.
Liu Yuchuan squinted his eyes. "What do you mean? Are you saying I eat too much?"
After all, he wasn't that youthful and handsome young man anymore; he didn't quite understand the younger generation's ways. Now even his dear niece was saying he was getting old.
Liu Ru Yan felt that Liu Yuchuan seemed to have entered a new phase, capable of eloquent speech!
"Tang, do you think we should go?" Lin Fengmian and Tang Mu Xuan had also witnessed this scene. Their expressions were somewhat complicated as they watched the two at the door continue to pull at each other. They had come out thinking to catch up with Xie Yichang, only to find him presenting a banner to Liu Yuchuan.
This person was not one they had taken over; the one who had originally been in charge had a prior case and handed this individual over to them. They never expected that the person involved would be Xie Yichang.
The most critical part was what they had overheard: Liu Yuchuan had asked Miss Liu to call Xie Yichang "Uncle"? Oh dear, how dangerous was that? Fortunately, Xie Yichang didn’t seem to mind; perhaps he felt there was nothing more to say.
Once Xie Yichang left, the two didn’t pursue him but instead turned their attention back to Liu Yuchuan, curious about what he would do next. Liu Yuchuan did not disappoint them! He began his performance directed at Liu Ru Yan.
Suddenly, Tang Mu Xuan remembered something and decided to head back, absolutely not admitting that he sensed danger. Just moments ago, he had seen Liu Yuchuan glance their way while Lin Fengmian was still asking if they were going out.
It was laughable; if they insisted on going out, it wouldn’t be impossible, but who knew what tomorrow would bring? Lin Fengmian stood there cursing under his breath: "What a thief!" He then followed along.
Liu Ru Yan finally managed to calm Liu Yuchuan down and drove him out for a meal. During dinner, she voiced her confusion.
"Uncle?"
That question hung in the air, and she felt it couldn’t lead to anything good. Liu Yuchuan avoided looking at her, pretending he hadn’t heard.
"Can’t hear me? Let’s go to the hospital this afternoon," Liu Ru Yan thought of scaring him a little, but Liu Yuchuan still acted as if he hadn’t seen or heard anything.
Liu Ru Yan conceded first: "Little Uncle, I really have something to discuss!"
"Just say it; don’t make it so disgusting," Liu Yuchuan hadn’t expected her to act so coy at this moment. Yet he firmly believed it wasn’t going to be anything good.
"How did you even get in there? Aren't you all supposed to be decisive and authoritative?"
Liu Ru Yan was too curious; in the novels she read, the domineering leads were always like that. How could her own little uncle have gone inside? Was he pretending to be a wealthy man?
"That shouldn't be the case. The building I live in is well-known for being in a prestigious school district; it can't be cheap!"
Liu Yuchuan paused, his hand stopping mid-bite. "Xiao Yan, are you feeling alright? I'm just a family man; I'm not a tyrant! Besides, do you think wealthy people today keep their word? What do you take me for? Have some sense of boundaries."
Liu Yuchuan's outburst left Liu Ru Yan stunned.
But she also understood that novels are all fiction. Ah, novels have really misled me.
"Xiao Yan, let me tell you something, stop watching that mindless stuff. You were never smart to begin with, and now you've become even more pessimistic, haven't you?"
Liu Ru Yan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Was this really such a terrifying personal attack?
