Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 413 Yes, I have a child

Seeing Lisa's suspicious expression, Xiaoxian and his senior brother knew that denying it at this time would only backfire.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously gasped.

"hiss……"

Xiao Xian pretended to be scared and swallowed hard: "I was sure I didn't hear anything, but now that you've asked me, I'm not so sure anymore."

The eldest brother nodded and said, "I listened carefully, and it seems I heard something..."

"..."

"...the sound of crows cawing."

Xiaoxian retorted, "No, it's clearly the sound of a stray cat meowing."

Then the two of them started arguing about whether the sound they heard was the cawing of crows or the meowing of wild cats. Their argument even drowned out the occasional noises coming from Ziqiao's table.

As Lisa watched the two argue, her doubts began to dissipate.

After all, judging from the way they were arguing, it didn't seem like they were deliberately putting on an act to deceive me.

Of course, the most important thing is that regardless of whether Xiao Bu is at the hospital tonight or not, given his personality, how could he possibly be so reckless as Zeng Xiaoxian to come and join in the fun when he clearly knows that he is the one being set up on a blind date?

Just like when I went to the apartment to film a video last time, I thought I might run into Xiao Bu, but he still avoided me and didn't show up.

It was precisely because of his ruthlessness that she came to this blind date.

Driven by the restlessness of her female hormones, Lisa began to feel sad again.

"Never mind, I probably just imagined it."

Heartbroken, Lisa lost all interest in investigating whether the sound she had just heard was a hallucination. She gave a polite smile to the arguing Xiaoxian and her senior brother.

"Let's eat and talk."

"All right."

Senior Brother and Xiao Xian breathed a slight sigh of relief; they had finally covered up the commotion caused by Zi Qiao's table.

At this moment, although Zeng Xiaoxian prevented Lisa from finding Ziqiao, he had now completely lost his reason to escape.

If I were to come up with another reason now, it would seem too contrived.

However, there was one thing that still puzzled him.

When the food was served, Xiaoxian finally couldn't control his reckless desires and looked at Lisa with a puzzled expression.

"Boss, you didn't seem too keen on me leaving just now?"

Lisa, who was already in a bad mood, gave him a cold smile upon hearing this.

"You came all this way just because you know I'm the one you're meeting on a blind date with, and you came specifically to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"

"I'm a leader who respects the wishes of my subordinates. Since you want to see it, I'll grant your wish. After all, this might be the last meal we eat together."

Lisa lowered her head and smiled gently, "It just so happens that the station is planning to send a radio host to both the Alashan Desert and the Afghan battlefield. You can choose whichever you like."

"You submit the report, I'll approve the approval."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian's pupils dilated in shock. He quickly explained, "I'm innocent, Lisa! I really didn't know that Senior Brother's blind date was you."

"Do you think I'd believe such a childish excuse?"

Lisa frowned as she looked at Zeng Xiaoxian, seemingly very unhappy that he looked down on her intelligence.

Although she hasn't pressed Xiaoxian about her relationship with Dujun yet, if Zeng Xiaoxian didn't know that Dujun's blind date was her, why would she take a day off to accompany him on his blind date?

Zeng Xiaoxian is notorious at the station for his love of gossip. How could he possibly accompany someone on a blind date without first finding out the details and photos of the person he was going to meet from Du Jun?

So from the first moment Lisa saw Zeng Xiaoxian, she felt that this guy was deliberately there to make a scene for her. Otherwise, what else could he be here to attend someone else's blind date?

To be a wingman?

Zeng Xiaoxian was on the verge of tears. He never expected that he was only there to be a wingman, but he was going to be sent to the desert or the battlefield.

"Lisa~"

Xiao Xian pleaded, "Can we discuss the transfer again? I'm your most loyal subordinate, and I've done so much for you!"

Neither the desert nor the battlefield is a good place, and I don't want to be eating sand and getting shot at such a young age.

Besides, what would happen to my friends in the apartment if I left?

Without my wise brother's leadership, they would have become a disorganized mess.

"Oh."

Lisa chuckled softly.

Zeng Xiaoxian?

He is indeed very loyal, but what does the phrase "meritorious service" have to do with him?

He has no merit whatsoever, not even a single hard-earned contribution. He's always causing trouble for me, leaving me to clean up his messes.

Sometimes she even doubted who was the leader and who was the subordinate between herself and Zeng Xiaoxian.

Even though Xiaoxian was so useless, Lisa didn't really want to transfer him out.

After all, having such a subordinate by your side, even if he's useless, going to find him to scold every now and then is a way to relieve stress.

"Originally, there was no room for discussion..."

Lisa paused, then turned to look at Du Jun.

She smiled and said, "However, for Du Jun's sake, we can discuss this matter again back at the station."

"Okay, Lisa."

Xiao Xian smiled obsequiously, knowing that Lisa's words meant she was just trying to scare him.

Upon hearing Lisa's words, the senior brother straightened his back and glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian, his eyes full of pride and smugness.

See? It's all thanks to my, Du Jun's, influence.

[In his inner world, the eldest brother spoke with a fluency rarely seen in a century.]

She only let Seohyun go because of me.

What does this mean? It means she's considering my feelings as her friend.

She did consider my feelings, which means...

She has feelings for me!

The eldest brother clapped his hands and said with great certainty.

Yes, she has feelings for me!

[Then the eldest brother burst into laughter.]

……

During the rest of the meal, Lisa, her senior brother, and Xiaoxian chatted as they ate. The atmosphere between the three was harmonious yet slightly awkward, familiar yet polite.

Actually, although it was said that the three of them were chatting together, most of the time it was Lisa and the senior brother who were going through the motions, while Xiaoxian was just smiling and agreeing on the side.

Although the senior brother and Lisa had already learned about each other's situations through acquaintances beforehand, there were still some information they needed to communicate themselves.

"Actually, I know that being divorced and having a child is really... "

"..."

"...not easily accepted by girls, especially..."

"..."

"...A woman as outstanding and independent as you."

The eldest brother said in a deep voice, "But I believe that no matter what kind of emotional experiences we have had in the past, as long as this relationship..."

"..."

"...Once it's completely over, no one can deny our pursuit..."

"..."

"...the freedom and right to true love."

As he spoke, he kept sending secret signals to Xiaoxian under the table.

According to previous training, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoxian, the wingman, was supposed to start cooperating.

In this situation, Zi Qiao provides a fixed formula: first, he creates an image of the senior brother as a good man who is deeply in love but has been hurt by love, and who has experienced a failed relationship but can still pursue true love with equanimity, in an attempt to arouse the other party's sympathy and protective instincts.

Then Xiaoxian can praise his senior brother's child for being cute, tell some interesting stories to stimulate the other woman's maternal instincts, and then intentionally or unintentionally hint that the child is still young and doesn't remember things yet, but that over time this stepmother will be just like the biological mother.

Finally, he subtly hinted that the senior brother had completely broken off relations with his ex-wife, and that she hadn't even come back to see the children, thus reassuring the woman.

However, Zeng Xiaoxian, who was sitting next to him, looked very uneasy. Just as he was about to say something in response to his senior brother's continuous coded messages, he was met with Lisa's gaze, which was intentionally or unintentionally directed at him.

I think...

As soon as Zeng Xiaoxian opened his mouth, countless sharp gazes shot towards him.

These gazes weren't just directed at the senior brother and Lisa, but also at Nanfeng and his group who were watching the spectacle.

"I think... this beef is quite tender."

Xiao Xian cheekily served food to Lisa and his senior brother: "The beef here is really delicious, and this salt and pepper pig's trotter is also very fragrant."

"Come on, senior brother, you and Lisa should try some."

The eldest brother was utterly speechless.

What I need is a wingman, not a waiter!

After confirming that Xiaoxian absolutely refused to help tonight, the eldest brother had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight alone.

However, the reality was far beyond everyone's expectations. It seemed that the senior brother, without the assistance of a wingman, had a pretty good chat with Lisa.

If the original Lisa gave people the impression of just going through the motions to appease the parents, and her main idea was "it's good enough if it works, and better if it doesn't," then...

But as time went by, the polite smile on Lisa's face became more and more sincere, and her eyes held a few indescribable emotions.

"No way."

Nanfeng listened to the conversation between his senior brother and Lisa with a puzzled expression.

After observing Zi Qiao's seven-day intensive training, Nan Feng can now be considered a theoretical master to some extent.

That's why he couldn't understand what was going on.

Nanfeng muttered under his breath, "Even though Senior Brother's conversation was so ordinary, why does Lisa's gaze look like she's about to drool?"

Could it be that the two of them really are a perfect match?

It's not surprising that the senior brother, who's obsessed with looks, would fall for Lisa, but Lisa's ex-boyfriend is Ziqiao.

From Ziqiao to Senior Brother, the style change is too fast!

He ate the steaming hot grilled octopus while wondering about it.

[Mmm, this grilled octopus truly lives up to its reputation as this restaurant's signature dish; it's delicious.]

It was worth ordering another plate.

Since it's so delicious, how about...?

[Shall we order another plate when we're almost done eating?]

Just as Nanfeng was contemplating whether to order another plate of grilled octopus, Lisa, whose female hormones had been aroused, became increasingly restless.

The lingering smell of grilled octopus made her more excited, impulsive, and emotional.

Driven by hormonal turmoil, her intense emotions finally broke free from the shackles of reason.

Lisa bit her red lips, as if she had made up her mind.

She looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and said, "Zeng Xiaoxian, go to the restroom first."

"what?"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked blankly at him: "I'm going to the bathroom...why?"

"Go eat, go drink, do whatever you want."

Lisa shouted in an unquestionable tone, "Just go now!"

Before Lisa could finish speaking, Xiaoxian had already instinctively run towards the toilet.

"Good leader."

Zeng Xiaoxian ran halfway before his mind finally caught up and he answered Lisa.

The senior brother, who was just chatting happily with Lisa, obviously had no idea what had happened.

He looked at Lisa, puzzled: "What's wrong with you...?"

"..."

"...What are you doing?"

"etc."

After confirming that Seohyun had gone into the bathroom, Lisa turned around and mustered up the courage to speak to her senior brother.

"Du Jun, you are a very sincere, kind, and courageous person who dares to pursue true love, so I don't want to deceive you."

"Actually, I initially started this blind date because I couldn't stand the constant introductions from acquaintances, and I just wanted to go through the motions."

"It's not that I originally thought you were bad, but..."

Lisa paused for a moment, but still said honestly, "Actually, there's always someone I can't forget in my heart, and I also have a child."

"What?!"

Nanfeng and his companions stood up in shock, their incredulous shouts echoing throughout the restaurant.

"You have a child?!"

I'm coming
