Chapter 236: Lu Jin'an Gets Entangled

Watching Ai Xiaolan's indiscriminate behavior, Zuo Zuying was thrilled.

Sure enough, after leaving the ice rink, he spotted Lu Jin'an cornered by Ai Xiaolan in an alley on the front street.

Looking at his handsome features, Ai Xiaolan's eyes were filled with infatuation. No wonder Ai Xiaoqing was into him—he was really something else. Although Ai Xiaoqing was a venomous woman, her taste was impeccable.

"Ai Xiaolan, are you out of your mind?" Lu Jin'an was forced to retreat step by step by the cocoon-like figure in front of him.

Ai Xiaolan slowly approached, breathing heavily, "Can't you see I'm trying to seduce you?"

Faced with Lu Jin'an's shocked expression, Ai Xiaolan reached out and pinched his cheek, "Look at you, so happy you're acting silly, huh?"

Lu Jin'an looked utterly defeated, taking a step back in horror, "Ai Xiaolan, don't touch me with your filthy hands, it's disgusting! Stay away from me!"

Ai Xiaolan looked at his flushed face and smiled fondly, "You little tease, still playing hard to get, huh?"

"Lu... Jin... An... You've already got my attention, no need to play hard to get."

With that, Ai Xiaolan rubbed her face against Lu Jin'an's pale cheek, murmuring, "You little faker, look how flustered you are, your face is all red. Stop pretending, I know you like me too. Are you worried about Ai Xiaoqing?"

Lu Jin'an froze, his face a mask of despair. What kind of lunatic was this?

Just as he was about to speak, Ai Xiaolan pressed her hand against his lips.

Leaning close to his ear, she whispered, "Shh~ No need to say anything, I understand, I get it!"

Lu Jin'an pushed Ai Xiaolan away violently, turning to run in terror, "I understand your nonsense, you crazy lunatic, you psycho, you nutcase~"

Ai Xiaolan got up from the ground, gazing affectionately at Lu Jin'an's retreating figure. She pressed her hand against the shoulder he had pushed, lowering her head and chuckling softly, "So shy, hehe, what a sweet little thing."

By now, Ai Xiaolan had developed a strong possessive streak for Lu Jin'an.

She shook her head fondly, watching helplessly as he left, "You're something else~"

Outside the alley.

Ai Xiaoqing saw Lu Jin'an rushing out of the alley and quickly approached him, her face filled with concern, "Jin'an, what did Ai Xiaolan want? Did she mess with you?"

Lu Jin'an's expression was as if he had eaten something disgusting, forcing a smile through his discomfort, "Xiaoqing, I have something to do, I need to go."

In the light rain, Lu Jin'an's steps were shaky and rushed.

Inside the alley, Zuo Zuying, with his fingers curled like an orchid and his butt sticking out, struck a pose like the most beautiful woman alive, blocking Ai Xiaolan.

He wasn't bad-looking, but he couldn't let Ai Xiaolan think too highly of him. However, there was something he had to do!

Right now, he had to stir the pot. Things that are fought over become more desirable, and the more people compete, the more it fuels competitiveness and possessiveness.

"Ai Xiaolan, you shameless hussy~"

"How dare you~ mess with my Jin'an~"

"I'm telling you, a man as amazing as Jin'an is not someone you can get your hands on. Stay away from him!"

Ai Xiaolan frowned at the flamboyant and effeminate man in front of her, "Get away from me, you disgusting creep, acting like a eunuch, it's sickening!"

Zuo Zuying covered his heart with his delicate fingers, looking deeply hurt, "Even like this, I'm still better looking than you. If Jin'an had to choose, he'd pick me over you!"

"Besides, do you even know Brother Jin'an? Do you know what he likes? Do you know where he lives? Do you know his home phone number? Do you know about his family situation? I’ll have you know, I know all of that!"

As Zuo Zuying spoke, he stomped his feet like a petulant girl, fluttering his delicate fingers in front of Ai Xiaolan.

Ai Xiaolan took a step back in disgust, finding it too cringe-worthy to watch. It was as if this person was born in the wrong body, acting like a brothel madam hustling for clients.

Zuo Zuying, seemingly oblivious to Ai Xiaolan's disdain, proudly rattled off all of Lu Jin'an's preferences, family situation, home address, and phone number in one go. Then, with a twist of his waist, he turned and walked away, deliberately swaying his hips like a seductive serpent.

"Yuck~"

Ai Xiaolan watched the flamboyant figure ahead, feeling like she had stepped in dog poop.

"A man more submissive than Ai Xiaoqing, I hate that the most. My Brother Jin'an is much better."

The next day, Lu Jin'an started receiving love letters—three a day, filled with explicit fantasies.

The letters were filled with Ai Xiaolan's imaginings of stalking him, peeping at him, even imprisoning and tying him up...

If he weren’t one of the main characters in the letters, Lu Jin'an would have thought he had actually done such things.

Not only did he receive these letters, but one was also opened by Lu Yazhi. Seeing the bold and passionate words inside, Lu Yazhi's face turned red.

She pulled her son aside to demand an explanation. What about Su Jiao?

"Jin'an, you... this... Jiao Jiao nearly died for you, and you seemed to like her too. How... how..."

Lu Jin'an squirmed under his mother's scrutinizing gaze. "Mom, it's all fake, fake!"

"None of this is real, that lunatic is just off her rocker. Don't pay attention to it!" Lu Jin'an said, snatching the letter and ripping it to pieces in front of Lu Yazhi, then throwing it into the trash bin before bolting under his mother's watchful eyes.

Today was Su Jiao's discharge day from the hospital, and he had promised to pick her up.

At a street noodle stand, Lu Jin'an was waiting for the owner to fry the noodles when Ai Xiaolan suddenly appeared beside him, standing in front of him.

"What's so special about fried noodles? Aren't I more attractive? Look at me~"

Lu Jin'an was startled, his soul nearly leaving his body as he took a big step back.

Ai Xiaolan grabbed his arm. "Hey, sweetie, watch your step~"

"Let go, don't make me do something!" Lu Jin'an was already gritting his teeth.

Ai Xiaolan leaned her face closer. "Come on~ hitting is caring, scolding is loving. I understand the fun of young people."

Lu Jin'an, pushed to his limit, shouted angrily, "Are you out of your mind?"

With this shout, everyone around turned to look at them.

The strange looks made Lu Jin'an feel as if his skin was crawling, while Ai Xiaolan gave everyone a smile that could scare birds away.

"Don't mind us, we're just having a lovers' spat. I'll coax him and it'll be fine," she said, looking at Lu Jin'an with a doting expression.

Lu Jin'an shook off her hand and bolted towards Longxiang Mansion as if a ghost were on his tail.

"Ding ling ling, ding ling ling~"

As soon as Lu Jin'an returned home and calmed down a bit, the phone rang.

He took a deep breath, trembling as he picked up the phone. "Hello~"

"Brother Jin'an, it's me, your little Lan sister~"

"Ahhh, no way!"

Lu Jin'an dropped the phone in panic and quickly reached out to press the button.

Just as he hung up, the phone started ringing again.

Listening to the relentless ringing, Lu Jin'an yanked the cord out.

Only when the entire room fell silent did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, his heart pounding loudly in his ears.
