77: Chapter 77 Lonely Woman 77: Chapter 77 Lonely Woman When Qin Lan came out, Ye Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa, looked over. Their gazes met, and her pretty face unconsciously reddened a bit. “Cough cough, um, Lanlan, I just wanted to help, I didn’t mean to go into your room on purpose, don’t misunderstand!” Ye Xuan said with a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.

But this explanation made Qin Lan’s cheeks turn even redder, and she glared at Ye Xuan, “Shut up!” “Uh…” Ye Xuan scratched his head, knowing that the more he said, the worse it got. So he simply lit a cigarette and leaned back on the sofa to smoke, no longer speaking. Qin Lan paused, seeing Ye Xuan suddenly become silent, and she actually felt a bit uncomfortable. She glanced at him and saw that he was covered in sweat, his clothes somewhat soaked through, so she said, “Ye Xuan, why don’t you go take a shower? I’ll be done tidying up here in no time, and I’ll call you when it’s time.” With these words, she turned and took a towel out of the wardrobe to give to Ye Xuan, adding, “There are no new ones at home, so if you don’t mind, take this and use it for tonight.” Ye Xuan took the towel from Qin Lan with a smile, saying, “Of course, I don’t mind!” Having said that, he headed for the bathroom. Watching Ye Xuan’s retreating figure, Qin Lan couldn’t help but smile slightly. But soon, her mood became tangled again! Because she had a boyfriend, and yet here she was, allowing another man to live in her home, which made her unsure how to behave. Thinking this, her heart became even more conflicted. “Could it be that I’m actually developing feelings for him?” Qin Lan questioned herself in her heart. If she didn’t have a boyfriend, the situation might have been easy to resolve, without carrying any psychological burden! But now, crossing boundaries between them was impossible… Qin Lan sighed quietly, feeling a sudden irritability in her heart. … Not long after, when Ye Xuan came out, he found that Qin Lan seemed subdued and was rather quiet. At that moment, she was sitting alone on the living room sofa, looking isolated and emanating a palpable sense of loneliness that made one want to comfort and protect this woman. “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy about something?” Ye Xuan asked curiously. Had this woman become melancholic in the blink of an eye? Or was it his imagination? “Nothing.” Qin Lan shook her head, unwilling to elaborate, and from the wardrobe, she took another new towel and without looking back, went into the bathroom and shut the door. Ye Xuan didn’t overthink it and simply sat down on the sofa. Right now, while smoking, his mind wandered through everything that had happened since his return to East Sea City. Meanwhile, he pondered some strategies for his wife’s company. Half an hour later, Qin Lan came out of the shower with a normal expression on her face, showing no signs of irregularity. She looked at Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, I’ve washed your clothes for you. They’ll be dry and ready to wear by tomorrow.” While speaking, she privately sighed; yesterday Ye Xuan had washed her clothes, and today she had washed his. The relationship between them was getting increasingly unclear… Ye Xuan was taken aback, then said with a smile, “Thank you, it’s getting late, we should get some sleep.” “Mm, good night!” Hearing this, Qin Lan wished Ye Xuan a good night and went into her bedroom, closing the door behind her. Ye Xuan inwardly marveled; Qin Lan, a single female teacher living alone in such a big city like East Sea, truly seemed a bit lonely and alone to be staying here by herself. No wonder she let him move in to accompany her. At least the two of them could keep each other company, so as not to be so alone that there was no one to talk to when feeling solitary. However, Ye Xuan was quite curious about what Qin Lan’s boyfriend did for a living that he was reassured leaving her to live here alone. It seemed that Qin Lan had never mentioned much about her boyfriend. “Eh… forget it, why should I worry about it so much? It’s better if her boyfriend doesn’t come back—if he did, I’d have nowhere to live.” Ye Xuan muttered to himself and went back to his room to sleep.
