Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 20: Opening the Core with Bare Hands

Lin Xuanze and Shen Xuan walked together.

Zhang Ziyue gossipingly added, "The sunny-looking guy next to Shen Xuan just now, his name is Lin Xuanze. His family is quite wealthy and has a good relationship with Shen Xuan’s family. If Gu Yue weren’t here, he would be the most handsome guy at First Middle School."

Yun Yue raised her eyebrows, not expecting their relationship to be like this.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Ziyue and getting into the car, she put on her earphones and focused intently on her phone.

Her slender fingers glided across the screen, her long, lush eyelashes drooping as she leaned back against the seat.

Shen Xuan had just walked out of the school gate when she saw Yun Yue getting into a BMW. She instinctively looked towards Lin Xuanze, puzzled.

The car belonged to the Lin Family, which always picked up and dropped off Lin Xuanze. What was Yun Yue’s relationship with Lin Xuanze?

Lin Xuanze didn’t notice her expression, waved goodbye, and got into the car, disappearing quickly from Shen Xuan’s view.

Rubbing her tired forehead, she decided to ask her parents when she got home.

**

Lin Family.

"Really? If Xuanxuan catches the eye of Master Yao Nan, it wouldn’t be difficult to enter that circle in the future," Lin Xiang spoke on the phone, her graceful face showing delight.

"The woman on the phone asked, "How’s your stepdaughter doing? It seems tough on you too."

Lin Xiang sipped her tea, smiling, "Very well, she’s very sweet, beautiful, and has a strong personality, much quieter too. Much better than that boy Lin Xuanze."

Thinking of Yun Yue, Lin Xiang’s lips unwittingly curled up, her eyes smiling too.

"That’s good. Tomorrow is Sunday; why don’t we gather? I’ll bring Xuanxuan so she can meet her."

"Tomorrow, huh? Let me ask Yueyue," Lin Xiang didn’t commit right away. Unsure of Yun Yue’s temperament, she decided it was safer to ask first.

At that moment, the front door opened and Yun Yue walked in with a swagger, hands in her pockets.

Lin Xiang hung up the phone and approached with a smile, "Yueyue, come here and sit. Auntie has something to ask you."

Yun Yue slouched over to the couch, resting against it and tapping her legs. Seeing some candy on the table, she reached out to grab some.

"Yun Yue!"

Liu Lanfang’s voice came from behind, stern as she walked up to Yun Yue with a serious expression.

Her hand paused, and she withdrew it, lowering her eyes.

Lin Xiang was a bit perplexed; her mother was usually easygoing and very indulgent towards Yueyue. It was the first time she had seen her so stern.

She didn’t understand what had happened.

Lin Xuanze looked at Yun Yue’s expression incredulously. The cold and proud aura around her had vanished, and her eyes seemed innocent.

Had he not seen her fighting off four people before, he might have been deceived by her appearance.

"Mom, what’s the matter? Why are you suddenly angry? Please, calm down," Lin Xiang tried to soothe her, seeing how frightened Yueyue was.

"The doctor said she shouldn’t eat candy; she could get addicted!"

Liu Lan always indulged her, but sugar was one thing she strictly controlled. They never kept sugar at home before, and she hadn’t mentioned it at the Lin Family’s house, but under her watch, a single candy wouldn’t be consumed.

She used to eat candy every day, a lot of it. After a check-up, the doctor forbade her from eating sugar, warning that excessive dependence on sugar could be life-threatening.

"This, this is serious..." Lin Xiang was taken aback, seeing her mother’s severe expression, "Yueyue, you better not eat sugar from now on."

Yun Yue, somewhat annoyed, gulped down some water. Now, another person was controlling her.

Her fingertips chilled, she picked up a walnut from the table and squeezed it.

Lin Xiang and Lin Xuanze only heard a "crack."

She picked out the walnut meat, put it in her mouth, and chewed.

Quite crunchy.

That walnut...

Lin Xuanze blinked in disbelief. That walnut was particularly hard to crack, even requiring some effort with a nutcracker.

She had opened it with her bare hands...

Lin Xiang thought it might be an easy one she had picked, and although she was startled, she didn’t think much of it.

However, Lin Xuanze, having seen her single-handedly take on four and throw a man of 1.8 meters onto the ground with incredible strength, couldn’t think the same.

She had indeed opened it with brute force.

He looked up at Yun Yue.

The corners of his eyes were tinged with crimson, as if he was upset about not getting candy, her expression particularly fierce, with a strong edge.

His gaze swept towards her, and the corners of his lips carried a sinister charm, as if he wanted to devour him.

"Mom, I’m going upstairs to study."

He ran upstairs frantically, as if fleeing for his life.

Lin Xiang watched his retreating figure, perplexed. When had he started loving studying so much?

"Yueyue, Auntie wants to tell you something. It’s just that Auntie has a good friend whose daughter also studies at First Middle School. She wants us to go out for a meal with Xuan Ze, to get to know each other." Lin Xiang cracked a few walnuts for her, picked out the walnut meat from them, placed it on a plate, and then passed it to her to eat.

"If you don’t want to go, that’s also fine; Auntie won’t force you." Lin Xiang was very considerate.

"Thank you." Yun Yue squinted her eyes, thoroughly enjoying eating all the walnuts on the plate.

"Alright, just give me the address tomorrow."

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she was surprisingly easy to talk to, even Liu Lan found it odd.

Her granddaughter was usually temperamental; she was cold to all the relatives at home and gave hardly any a pleasant face, yet for Lin Xiang, she didn’t show any temper.

But Lin Xiang was genuinely good to her, indulging her in everything. With such a stepmother, she could die in peace.

"Okay, I’ll have the driver pick you up then." Lin Xiang was taken aback, not expecting her to agree so readily.

"By the way, ’Good Restaurant’ is on air again, you might want to watch it."

Yun Yue didn’t stop as she mounted the stairs, but once in her room, she quickly turned on her phone to watch.

She leaned back in her chair, legs on the desk, her phoenix eyes even more focused than when she was in class.

**

The next day.

There were no classes on Sunday afternoons at First Middle School.

She had just finished her classes when her phone beeped; it was an address sent by Lin Xiang.

She packed up her things and left. Zhang Ziyue didn’t walk with her, staying in the classroom brooding over the bulletin board.

All the class officers of Class 7 stayed behind; this term’s bulletin board competition against Class 1 was a must-win. freewebnøvel.com

"I won’t practice piano today, my mom asked me to go out for a meal, to introduce me to a friend who is also from First Middle," said Shen Xuan, her voice cheerful as she stood in the corridor, opposite Gu Yue.

Gu Yue nodded, "I have some matters too."

After saying goodbye, the two left.

Once they were outside the school gate, they realized the driver wasn’t there. Just then, Lin Xiang sent a text message.

The driver had sprained his leg.

Her brows furrowed slightly as she opened her map and realized Shangyun Hotel was twelve kilometers away, a one-hour bus ride.

Then, a message notification with no contact name popped up.

[I’ve taken a taxi in advance, you can come slowly afterward, smile smile.]

Without a doubt, it was a message from Lin Xuanze.

Suddenly a horn sounded nearby.

The car window rolled down, revealing Xiao Chen’s exceptionally handsome profile, cigarette between his fingers, his collar undone revealing two buttons, exuding a prohibitive allure.

His gaze, deep and gentle, fell on Yun Yue, his voice low, carrying a deadly temptation.
