Chapter 15 Father-in-law and Mother-in-law are coming

On the balcony, Lan Yaoxia leaned against the railing, looking into the distance with a confused look, the cigarette in her hand flickering faintly in the breeze.

He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled the smoke, as if he wanted to exhale all the troubles in his heart.

Lan Yaoxia really couldn't understand why her mind would become so confused whenever she got close to Li Jinxi.

My clear mind seemed to be shrouded in a fog, making it impossible for me to think rationally. The vicious words that I had prepared in my heart seemed to be stuck in my throat when they came to my mouth, and I couldn't say them out.

Lan Yaoxia couldn't help but feel a sense of fear, as if she was gradually losing control of herself. This feeling became stronger and stronger.

She even began to doubt whether she was really about to turn into her original self. What confused Lan Yaoxia even more was why every time something involving Gu Yannian could easily provoke her anger and make her lose control of her emotions.

Mingming was determined to stay away from these two people from the beginning.

At this moment, Lan Yaoxia was shocked to find that all the clothes on her body had been replaced without her noticing.

With full of doubts, he slowly turned around and fixed his eyes on Li Jinxi who was still sleeping soundly. That beautiful face was like a poem and a painting, making people more and more intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and walked into the bathroom, intending to clear his head by taking a shower.

After taking a shower, he changed into a new set of pajamas, but the boredom in his heart did not dissipate at all. This bad day made Lan Yaoxia not interested in going to the company.

Finally, I went straight back to the study, turned on the computer and started playing games.

At the same time, Li Jinxi woke up slowly. She looked towards the bed as usual, but there was no sign of Lan Yaoxia. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

She stood up woodenly and went to wash up.

When she finished washing up and walked out of the room, she passed by the study and saw that the door was slightly open, and Lan Yaoxia was staring at the computer screen intently.

Li Jinxi knocked on the door gently. Lan Yaoxia heard the knock and looked up. Her eyes met with Li Jinxi at the door. The two stared at each other silently. For a moment, the whole space seemed to freeze. In the end, it was Lan Yaoxia who spoke first to break the deadlock: "What's the matter?"

Listening to those cold, emotionless words, Li Jinxi felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife and was in unbearable pain.

Her lips trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, she slowly said, "Honey, last night... I did just take him to the hospital. I'll be back as soon as I'm done!" When she said this, she couldn't help but look up, her eyes full of earnestness.

"Really, I didn't lie to you! The situation was urgent and he was seriously injured, so I had no choice but to take him to the hospital for treatment. This process took a long time." Li Jinxi explained while clenching his fists tightly, as if he wanted to prove that what he said was true in this way.

However, facing her husband's cold and questioning gaze, Li Jinxi's voice unconsciously became smaller and smaller.

When Lan Yaoxia heard this, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he said sarcastically: "So what?" His eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

Li Jinxi stared at Lan Yaoxia's face and was silent for a long time, and was suddenly speechless.

She didn't know when it started, but an indescribable feeling surged in her heart. She always felt that every word of Lan Yaoxia seemed to hide deep hatred.

On one side is her husband who has been with her through thick and thin, and on the other side is her best friend who she has known since childhood and is as close as a brother. No matter which side she chooses to stand on, it may cause great injustice to the other person. This dilemma makes Li Jinxi feel tormented.

Now, she has deliberately kept a certain distance from Gu Yannian. After all, she knows that her excessive care for this childhood sweetheart has already exceeded the normal limit.

This is why her husband is dissatisfied.

If one day the husband really becomes discouraged, then the marriage will undoubtedly break down.

Li Jinxi really didn't want to lose this beloved partner, but when Gu Yannian encountered difficulties, she couldn't stand idly by. This contradiction made Li Jinxi fall into extreme pain.

Once, whenever Li Jinxi thought of Gu Yannian's parents who had cared for him and protected him since he was a child, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken for Gu Yannian who had lost his parents.

She always tried her best to help him, hoping to make his life better.

However, it was not until this moment that she came to her senses and realized how serious a mistake she had made.

Because she paid too much attention to Gu Yannian, she unconsciously ignored and neglected her husband. Not only that, they often had fierce quarrels, which made their relationship extremely tense.

At this point, when Li Jinxi tried to mend the rift with her husband, she only received a response full of suspicion and indifference from him.

This made her feel deeply regretful and self-blaming. She regretted that she had not cherished this relationship and had not given her husband enough care and love.

At this moment, a sudden ring broke the silence in the house.

Lan Yaoxia looked down at the vibrating phone in her hand, and a familiar caller ID flashed on the screen.

Staring at the note, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he seemed a little hesitant, but finally he gently pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mom and Dad." Lan Yaoxia's voice was calm and cold.

The concerned voice of parents came from the other end of the phone: "Yaoxia, are you busy?"

"Oh, fortunately, not too busy." Lan Yaoxia replied indifferently.

Then, the parents explained their purpose: "We wanted to come and see you and Xixi, and have a meal together. Xixi's phone was turned off, so we couldn't get through, so we had to call you."

"Okay, got it." Lan Yaoxia responded to show her agreement.

"Okay, then you get ready first. We'll be there in about half an hour," the parents instructed.

"Okay, okay, I don't have anything to do today, so I'll wait for you at home." Lan Yaoxia's tone remained calm.

"Okay, that's it for now. I'm hanging up." "Okay, okay. Be safe on the road." After the brief conversation, the call ended in a hurry.

The whole process only took about one or two minutes, but this phone call made Lan Yaoxia feel even more depressed.

After all, he and Li Jinxi had to act like a loving couple in front of the two elders.

He slowly put down his phone and turned his gaze to Li Jinxi who was sitting next to him. His face instantly returned to its previous indifference and alienation.

"Your parents are coming over, and they said your phone is turned off, so they can only call me." Lan Yaoxia said expressionlessly, as if the person who just answered the phone was not him.

Li Jinxi suddenly understood what was going on. She patted her forehead and muttered in annoyance, "Oh, how could I forget about this! My phone was running out of battery last night, and then I saw you coming back, so I just threw it downstairs and ignored it..."
