Free Web NovelChapter 580: Chapter 56: Escape Route
The next day.
Chen Lusi returned to Peng City.
But instead of going straight to Celestial Strategy Trading, she first went back to Qinyuan and Mansion.
Because Xia Yue said he had something to do in the morning, and they would meet at noon.
Additionally... Chen Lusi was indeed a bit worried about Lin Wan, so she dismissed the idea of going directly to Celestial Strategy Trading.
She opened the door and entered the house.
Just as Chen Lusi was about to change her shoes, she saw Lin Wan standing at the door. Her refreshing and soft camisole outlined her curvy figure. With her arms crossed over her chest, her jade-like cheeks puffed up, and under her pajamas, a pair of slender, snow-white legs in sandals seemed dazzlingly white.
"Are you two at the wrong door?"
Lin Wan, arms crossed, looked at Chen Lusi and Lin Ying expressionlessly, and said, "I don’t seem to know you. My sister and brother-in-law are not here, so I can’t entertain you."
"..."
Chen Lusi silently looked down at herself, then turned to look at Lin Ying.
A bit slow to react.
But hearing this, Lin Ying had already removed her shoes and stepped up to the entryway, standing directly in front of her sister.
Lin Wan saw her supposedly ’stronger’ sister standing before her, her posture upright, staring at her.
She immediately shrank her neck timidly, but still stubbornly said, "This guest..."
But she hadn’t finished speaking.
Lin Ying reached out and pinched her soft cheek, turning her subsequent words into meaningless mumbling.
"Guest, huh? Then where did you hide my sister? My clumsy, fun-loving sister who’s jealous of her sister, about to start school, yet not preparing and still wandering around in pajamas? Where’s she hiding?"
Lin Ying pulled her soft cheeks outward.
"Mmm, here, here, sister... it hurts."
Lin Wan immediately capitulated, dropping her arms from across her chest and gently grabbing the hem of her sister’s clothes.
"I see, I almost didn’t recognize her."
Lin Ying still pinched her cheeks: "So, who was the idiot calling guests just now?"
"Mmm..."
Chen Lusi changed her shoes, saw this scene, and smiled lightly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
He was planning to walk past the two sisters into the living room, leaving them some space.
But as he walked past, Lin Wan, with quick reflexes, suddenly lifted her fair arm and grabbed his hand, mumbling, "Brother-in-law, don’t run... save me."
"..."
Chen Lusi could only stop his steps and stand by the two sisters’ sides.
But apparently.
He couldn’t save her; the only thing he could do was watch...
But Lin Wan apparently couldn’t accept Chen Lusi just watching, so she tugged at his hand forcefully.
"..."
Chen Lusi looked at the two sisters, hesitated for a moment, then gently wrapped his arms around their slim waists, embracing both of them.
Lin Ying didn’t resist or feel uncomfortable and continued doing what she was doing.
Leaning in Chen Lusi’s arms, she continued to tug at her sister’s soft cheeks: "I was just away for one night, and you have so much to say?"
Lin Wan lifted her fair bare foot and lightly stepped on the top of Chen Lusi’s foot, signaling him to figure something out.
"..."
Chen Lusi remained silent for a moment, tightening his arms, pulling the sisters closer with their soft, curvy bodies snugly against him.
Lin Wan’s charming face flushed, and Lin Ying finally noticed Chen Lusi’s actions; the two of them simultaneously looked up, their flawless, jade-like beautiful faces directed towards him.
"How about..."
Chen Lusi was just about to speak.
Lin Ying immediately changed her target, pinching his face: "What are you trying to do?"
Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and with one hand around Chen Lusi’s waist, lowered her head, pretending she wasn’t there.
Chen Lusi: "..."
...
Although his rescue wasn’t very successful.
Lin Ying apparently had no mood to continue to scold her sister.
With a semblance of retaliation, she vigorously rubbed Chen Lusi’s cheeks and then dragged her sister into the room, seemingly to prepare for the upcoming school year.
Chen Lusi didn’t disturb them, occasionally hearing faint conversation from their room and Lin Wan’s exclamations.
Quarrels and disagreements between the sisters come and go quickly...
After all, they grew up together, and although it wasn’t always apparent, their feelings were very deep... Additionally, with Chen Lusi as a buffer, they hardly ever left anything unsaid.
In some sense.
Chen Lusi even suspected that sometimes, their quarreling was a means to enhance their bond.
In any case.
Chen Lusi didn’t disturb them or rudely eavesdrop, instead pouring himself a glass of water, confirming that Xia Yue and Xia Panqiu hadn’t messaged him, taking out a laptop from the room, and sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Sis, I don’t believe it..."
"Who told you to believe it, just pack your clothes for me."
"But you can convince me."
"Convince your head, stop overthinking, and focus on your studies for me."
"..."
The voices of the sisters’ conversation reached him.
Chen Lusi felt calm, opened the laptop, and then clicked on the novel original draft Lin Wan had opened during her college entrance exam but hadn’t touched since.
Back then, due to the Monkey Anomaly Realm incident, he had prepared a backup plan, returning to his old career, hoping to find a new way to support himself.
At that time, he was ready to leave Celestial Strategy Mansion... But so much happened afterward, his plans were shelved, and his mindset changed. He didn’t leave Celestial Strategy Mansion, and instead, continued further down this path.
As for now.
Even if he wanted to leave... it might be challenging.
So, the tens of thousands of words already written in his original draft were also shelved.
But Chen Lusi felt it was a bit of a pity.
