Chapter 52, Rose Manor 2

Machine Translation

"Oh!"

Lan Keqin lowered her head and replied with a lackluster, "Oh."

Yi Xuan saw Lan Keqin's lowered head and could not help but tease her, "Keqin! Young Master Di will be back. You don't have to be so disappointed. Didn't Manager Zhang say that Young Master Di will be back later?"

"..."

"What do you mean by disappointed? I... I'm not disappointed."

Lan Keqin heard Yi Xuan say that she was very disappointed and immediately denied it. How could she be disappointed She was only a mistress. If she was disappointed, it was because she was disappointed in herself...

Yi Xuan wanted to tease Lan Keqin but was interrupted by Manager Zhang's words.

"Young Master Xuan! Miss Lan! We're here."

"Thank you, Manager Zhang."

"Haha! Miss Lan, you're Young Master's guest. You don't have to be so polite to me."

"Either way! Thank you."

"Young Master Xuan! Miss Lan! Please come in."

Manager Zhang extended his right hand and allowed them to enter.

When Lan Keqin walked in, she realized that this villa was not just a layer of milky white. Every pillar, every floor, every window, and every wall were all so exquisite. One look and one could tell that they were carefully carved. One couldn't help but feel shocked and amazed.

The villa was also very elegant. Di Junlin's mother liked simple and uncomplicated things, so Di Junlin's father decorated it very simply. However, every item inside was arranged in a modest manner, making it look very comfortable.

Warm colors, black, white, and gray were the main shades.

Di Junlin also liked simple and uncomplicated things. Otherwise, the Seaview Building and his villa wouldn't be decorated so simply.

"Young Master Xuan! Miss Lan! Please take a seat."

Manager Zhang smiled and greeted her. Then, he went to call his wife. Soon, Mrs. Zhang came over with two cups of fruit juice.

"Miss Lan! Young Master Xuan! Drink some fruit juice!"

Mrs. Zhang put the fruit juice on the coffee table and said with a smile.

"Mrs. Zhang! Leave it here! Go do your thing. Don't mind me and Keqin."

Yi Xuan picked up a cup of fruit juice and drank it without hesitation.

"Alright, we'll go down first."

"Okay!"

Yi Xuan rolled his eyes and looked at the things here. Then, he put down the fruit juice and sat on the gray leather sofa. "Sigh...! This Young Master Di is really boring. It's been more than 20 years, yet the arrangement is still the same here."

"More than 20 years? It hasn't been touched all this time."

Lan Keqin asked Yi Xuan curiously and in surprise.

"Yes! I've been here since I was three years old. It's always been arranged like this." Yi Xuan shrugged, feeling a little helpless.

The corners of Lan Keqin's lips curled up into a smile. "A man who reminisces about the past is a good man. Here... There must be his memories. I'm guessing that it's Junlin's mother, right?"

"Aiya! Keqin! You're too smart. You guessed it right with one guess." Yi Xuan rubbed Lan Keqin's smooth long hair. He praised her and then said seriously, "In front of Young Master Di, you must never mention his mother and especially his father. Do you understand? Unless he personally mentions it to you."

Lan Keqin did not know why Yi Xuan's aura suddenly darkened but she firmly remembered this sentence. She could not mention Di Junlin's mother and especially his father.

"Forget it! I don't know when Young Master Di will be back. I'll leave first. I'll come and see you another day."

Yi Xuan stood up and tugged at his clothes as he said in a slightly annoyed tone. He was a person who liked to move. He felt that he could not sit still if he was asked to stay here.

"Ah...? I'll be here alone after you leave?"

Lan Keqin was not familiar with this place and Di Junlin had not returned. This caused her to feel a sense of fear in her heart. This was the aftereffect of being knocked out by someone the previous two times.

"Don't worry! There's still Mrs. Zhang here. Young Master Di's room is upstairs."

When Yi Xuan thought of this, he lowered his head and whispered a few words into Lan Keqin's ear with a wicked smile.

"Oh!"

Lan Keqin replied with an adorable "oh." However, her gaze was fixed on the paper bag on the sofa.

"Will the method you mentioned really work? Will Junlin really not punish me?" Lan Keqin still asked Yi Xuan in disbelief.

Yi Xuan patted her shoulder. "Don't worry! When Young Master Di sees you like that, he definitely will not love you enough. Why would he punish you!"

Lan Keqin wanted to ask more but Yi Xuan patted her shoulder again. "Alright! I really have to go. You will go up and tidy yourself up in a while. Do you understand? If Young Master Di comes back and sees that you haven't washed up properly, he will definitely hit you hard."

Yi Xuan once again bewitched the innocent Lan Keqin. The teasing smile on his face could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried. Unfortunately, Lan Keqin was too innocent now and did not understand anything. She would do whatever Yi Xuan said.

"Alright. Take care then. Thank you, Yi Xuan!"

Lan Keqin did not forget to thank Yi Xuan.

Yi Xuan suddenly looked at Lan Keqin apologetically and said in his heart, 'You should thank me after tonight! I wish you and Young Master Di a happy night.'

Yi Xuan pursed his lips and a bright smile hung on his face. "We are good friends. There's no need to say thank you anymore."

"Mrs. Zhang! Bring Keqin to Young Master Di's room later. I'll be leaving first."

Yi Xuan walked out and spoke loudly to Mrs. Zhang while waving at Lan Keqin.

As soon as Yi Xuan left, Lan Keqin started to feel uneasy. She was really afraid of unfamiliar places.

She wasn't afraid of the Seaview Building because she had spent the night there with Di Junlin. Although this was Di Junlin's place, she had never seen Di Junlin here before. This made her feel very uneasy and insecure.

When Mrs. Zhang heard Yi Xuan's words, she was shocked for a long time before she came out. The moment she came out, she saw Lan Keqin leaning on the sofa with her arms crossed.

"Miss Lan! Please follow me."

Mrs. Zhang said very gently. She had thought of not bringing Lan Keqin to Di Junlin's room, but she thought that no one would dare to make fun of Di Junlin so—even if Lan Keqin was a woman—she would still bring her there.

When Lan Keqin heard Mrs. Zhang's gentle voice, she stood up a little embarrassedly and said, "Mrs. Zhang! Sorry to trouble you."

...

"This is... Di Junlin's room?"

Lan Keqin carefully looked at Di Junlin's bedroom. It was like another house inside. Very unique.

"Yes, Miss Lan. I'll go down first. If you have any instructions, just call me or press the red button on the Young Master's bedside table."

Lan Keqin looked at the red button and nodded.

After Zhang Sao went down, Lan Keqin was left alone again. She had always been afraid of being alone. She never dared to turn off the lights at night unless someone was by her side—a friend like Gu Xiaoqin or Di Junlin.
