Chapter 285: Chapter 285: I Need a Favor

Nan Xi had been walking beside Lin Xiaoyan all along, and now that there was no one else, she walked side by side with Lin Xiaoyan.

“Pregnant women have it the hardest. They are nurturing a life, it’s very great.”

Lin Xiaoyan: “Yes, especially during childbirth, it’s incredibly great.”

“Beep beep”

As Lin Xiaoyan was about to walk into the apartment building, she suddenly heard a honking sound from behind her.

Turning her head, she saw He Qi’an had stopped the car.

“Yanyan”

Lin Xiaoyan rushed over, “Off work?”

“Yes, just finished work. The bureau has been quite free lately, no need for overtime.” He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan gently.

“Did you go for a walk together and come back?”

“No, I was sending my sister-in-law home.”

“Wait for me, I’ll park the car.”

“Alright.”

After He Qi’an quickly parked the car, he went upstairs with Lin Xiaoyan.

Nan Xi left when she saw He Qi’an.

“Grandpa called this afternoon, saying he’ll come the day after tomorrow.”

He Qi’an tightly held Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, speaking lightly.

Lin Xiaoyan felt a bit nervous, “The day after tomorrow!”

He Qi’an looked down at his nervous girlfriend, amusement flashing in his eyes, “Yes, don’t be nervous. I’m the one who should be nervous.”

Lin Xiaoyan: “What are you nervous about?”

He Qi’an sighed, “I’m afraid your parents have opinions about me and don’t agree with us being together.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi’an in surprise, “I didn’t see a trace of fear in you. Last night when you were drinking with my dad, there was no sign of nervousness in you.”

The way they drank last night, Lin Fu almost called He Qi’an his brother!

He Qi’an chuckled lightly, “I definitely won’t show it, otherwise if your father sees it, he’d think I’m not up to par.”

Lin Xiaoyan was still somewhat skeptical, looking at him doubtfully.

Seeing his girlfriend’s suspicious gaze, He Qi’an amusingly tapped her on the forehead.

“You don’t believe me that much?”

Lin Xiaoyan nodded: “Exactly, you always give off a vibe of being steady as a rock!”

He Qi’an: …

They got off the elevator, and Lin Xiaoyan started walking home.

Suddenly, her waist tightened as He Qi’an directly embraced her.

“Come to my place for a bit?”

He Qi’an whispered in Lin Xiaoyan’s ear.

Lin Xiaoyan tilted her head to look at her boyfriend, looked at the closed door ahead, and suddenly felt like she was secretly dating without telling her parents.

“Keep your voice down.”

Lin Xiaoyan whispered.

He Qi’an’s mouth curled up, and the two of them stepped lightly, quickly opened the door, and slipped into the house.

Once the door was gently closed, Lin Xiaoyan was immediately picked up by He Qi’an.

“Ah”

Lin Xiaoyan was suddenly lifted and got startled, letting out a light gasp.

But in the next second, her gasp was swallowed, with hot breaths coming at her.

He Qi’an tightly embraced the person in his arms, landing a searing kiss on the lips that he’d long planned…

While sitting on the sofa, Lin Xiaoyan was held in He Qi’an’s arms, and he occasionally kissed her, never getting enough.

After catching her breath for a while, Lin Xiaoyan smacked her boyfriend’s arm hard.

“Stop kissing, you’re like Laicai.”

He Qi’an rested his head on Lin Xiaoyan’s shoulder, laughing, “Can Laicai hug you?”

Lin Xiaoyan:……

“Be serious, can you?”

He Qi’an: “How am I not serious? I’m the most serious!”

He spoke and leaned closer to plant a kiss on her flushed cheek.

Lin Xiaoyan gave He Qi’an a nudge, she felt like she needed to stand up, stay away from him, otherwise it’s too dangerous!

“Don’t go!”

He Qi’an hugged Lin Xiaoyan tightly, his voice somewhat aggrieved, “I haven’t hugged you in so many days, you went home for New Year’s, left me alone here, do you know how I’ve spent these days?

I’ve been working overtime at the bureau, because no one is here to accompany me when I return…”

Hearing her boyfriend’s words, Lin Xiaoyan’s body softened, holding his head, gently comforting him, “You’ve worked hard.”

“I hope next year during New Year’s, we can spend it together.” He Qi’an said expectantly.

Lin Xiaoyan patted her boyfriend’s face, “That depends on your performance!”

“What performance?”

“Convincing my parents to let you come to my house for New Year’s performance!”

He Qi’an: “…You clearly know what I mean!”

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the accusing He Qi’an, filled with sweetness inside and out.

“We’ll discuss it when the time comes, let it be natural.”

He Qi’an watched his girlfriend avoiding the topic again, hugging Lin Xiaoyan, sighing inwardly, it seems he hasn’t done enough.

He searched online, if a girlfriend always avoids talking about marriage and commitment, there are two reasons.

The first is because she lacks a sense of security.

The second is because she doesn’t love you.

Each time he thought of how Lin Xiaoyan looked at him, it was always filled with affection, her eyes full of him, so it can only be the first reason, lacking a sense of security.

He still needed to work hard, work hard to give his girlfriend security, then… have her marry him!

After cooking a simple bowl of noodles for He Qi’an, Lin Xiaoyan left to go home.

She was afraid if she didn’t go back, her dad would come knocking.

When she got home, Lin Xiaoyan found that Sister Nan was not at home.

“Click”

The door opened, it was Nan Xi.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Nan Xi in surprise, “Sister Nan, you haven’t been back all along?”

Nan Xi nodded, “Yes, I was sitting in the hallway. I just saw you come back, that’s when I returned.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan understood instantly, feeling deeply moved.

“Thank you, Sister Nan.”

Lin Xiaoyan walked to Nan Xi, touched Nan Xi’s hand, “It’s good, your hand is warm.

Sister Nan, next time just come back directly, if my dad asks, you can just say, it’s nothing.

The hallway is so cold, what if you catch a cold…”

As she spoke, she poured hot water and handed it to Nan Xi, “Quick, have a sip to warm up.”

Nan Xi smiled and took it, “I’m not cold.”

“Drink it, drink it, even if you’re not cold, have a sip.”

Nan Xi had no choice but to take a couple of sips.

Before going to bed at night, Lin Xiaoyan once again came across the video of the missing little girl.

She still hadn’t been found, so she opened the comment section and noticed many people screenshotting a comment.

The comment stated that the little girl was not far from home, headed north several meters, watch for cellars or abandoned places…

Looking at the little girl’s photo, Lin Xiaoyan thought about it and contacted Xuan Shiwu.

“Shiwu, are you asleep?”

Xuan Shiwu was still awake, immediately replied.

“Not yet, Happy New Year, Yanyan.”

Lin Xiaoyan: “Happy New Year, are you still in E Province?”

Shiwu: “Yes, we’re spending New Year in E Province this year, there’s still something unresolved here, might take a while.”

Lin Xiaoyan: “I have something to trouble you with, I want to ask you to check on a kid, I’ll transfer funds to you, could you please take a look.”

Shiwu had once said, they don’t take tasks casually, once they do, it requires monetary transactions.

Paying money to eliminate karma.
