Chapter 12: Feeling sorry for a man brings bad luck
Shen Lan had just gathered himself up when he heard a shrill scream as he opened the door.
"Boss Xiao, Boss Xiao, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again. I will return the money I took away. Please let me go..."
The sound was so tragic that Shen Lan couldn't help but shiver and looked down while holding the railing.
I saw two bodyguards in black dragging a middle-aged man in a suit out.
The man's forehead was bloody, and he was crying miserably.
The two bodyguards turned a deaf ear and dragged the man away with an expressionless face, as if he were dragging a dead dog.
Shen Lan was startled by what she saw. She found that she had been bewitched by Xiao Yun last night. She subconsciously thought that this man was easy to talk to and even gave him money.
Oh, by the way, she also slapped Xiao Yun.
Shen Lan took a breath and felt her scalp tingling when she thought of the miserable state of the man just now.
"Miss Shen."
A gentle male voice came from downstairs.
Shen Lan looked down and saw Liu Lin standing in the lobby on the first floor, looking up with his signature smile.
A bit seeping.
"Miss Shen, you're up early. Did that person disturb you just now? Mr. Xiao has already asked someone to deal with it. Would you like to sleep a little longer?"
Deal with it, how to deal with it?
All kinds of bloody images flashed through Shen Lan's mind, and his legs felt weak.
She started to faint at the thought of blood again.
Shen Lan quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of those images from her mind: "No need, breakfast time is coming, what does Mr. Xiao want to eat, I will go to the kitchen to make it for him."
"No need to prepare anything special. Mr. Xiao usually doesn't have a good appetite in the morning, so just prepare something light. You can also decide for lunch and dinner. Aside from offal, Mr. Xiao doesn't have any dietary restrictions."
Shen Lan nodded. Xiao Yun was easier to serve than Lu Yunfan.
Lu Yunfan is very picky about food. He doesn't eat onions, ginger, garlic, or chili peppers. He also doesn't eat carrots or coriander with special flavors. If something is not to his taste, he will overturn the table.
Shen Lan thought back on his experiences over the past four years and became more determined in one idea.
It’s bad luck for a man to feel sorry for him!
Liu Lin returned to the study on the second floor. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Yun leaning back in the chair, rubbing his temples with a frown on his face.
Liu Lin was startled: "Boss Xiao, your headache is coming back again?"
As he spoke, he fished for medicine from his pocket, his expression grim. "Before, he only had it every three to five days, but lately it's been happening more and more frequently. I can't get in touch with Mr. Zheng now. He said he went into the mountains to collect herbs, and the medicine I prescribed is almost gone. What are you going to do when this medicine is gone?"
Liu Lin took out the medicine, poured a glass of water and handed it to Xiao Yun.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Yun pushed the medicine back.
Liu Lin suddenly became anxious: "Boss Xiao, Mr. Zheng told me that you can't just endure a headache. It will damage your nerves over time..."
"Where is Shen Lan?" Xiao Yun interrupted him, his voice hoarse as he tried to suppress the throbbing pain in his head.
"Making breakfast in the kitchen." Liu Lin looked puzzled. Shouldn't he take medicine for a headache? Why was he looking for Shen Lan at this time?
Xiao Yun didn't tell him what happened in the fake cave. He himself was not completely sure yet and didn't know if it was a coincidence. He took this opportunity to give it a try.
After learning where Shen Lan was, Xiao Yun went straight to the kitchen.
Madam Xiao is a Buddhist and would stay at the temple to burn incense for a short time. She wouldn't come back for ten days or half a month. Xiao Ren went out to fool around last night and wasn't home either.
Currently, Xiao Yun is the only owner of the Xiao family, and there are not many people in the kitchen making breakfast.
When Xiao Yun appeared at the kitchen door, the servants inside were startled. Just as they were about to say hello, Liu Lin made a gesture to silence and waved for them to go out.
Shen Lan was at the stove at the innermost part by the window, concentrating on stirring the porridge in the casserole, and didn't notice anyone approaching.
Feeling that the porridge base was almost cooked, Shen Lan put the other ingredients in and prepared to cover it and simmer it for a while.
When I turned around, I saw someone standing next to me.
With a tall and straight figure and extremely handsome features, who else could it be but Xiao Yun?
Shen Lan was startled and patted his pounding heart.
Is this Xiao Yun a cat? He walks without making any sound. Doesn't he know that scaring people can be terrifying? Even if he has a handsome face, his sudden appearance is still scary.
She complained in her heart, but did not show it on her face. She whispered, "Boss Xiao, the porridge is not ready yet. Please wait a moment..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yun took advantage of his height advantage, leaned over slightly, and easily held her in his arms.
The bitter aroma of medicine mixed with a special sweet and warm fragrance permeated Xiao Yun's nose, and the sharp headache in his head subsided almost instantly.
It was confirmed, it was not a coincidence, the smell of Shen Lan could really relieve his headache.
This situation is too unbelievable, but it actually happened.
Xiao Yun was alert in his heart, but his body greedily moved closer, smelling the scent on her body. His body became more and more relaxed, just like an addiction. Even though he knew there might be danger, he couldn't help but sink into it.
Shen Lan was frightened by his actions and quickly stepped back, but as soon as she moved, he grabbed her waist and pulled her back.
"Boss Xiao..." Shen Lan said in a panic, "I'm only responsible for your three meals a day, nothing else!"
