Chapter 236: Sneaky intruder
Xiehan eyed her for a moment before asking, "Did you try to understand her?"
"What?" Lanni frowned quizzically.
"Your mom. Did you ask her why she was acting the way she was? Do you know her reasons?"
Lanni huffed and remained silent. Who was she to ask? Li Yuming didn’t want to tell her anything no matter how many times she asked. How then could she understand her? "She is so secretive that she doesn’t want to tell me anything. I did ask this in the past."
Xiehan raised an eyebrow in contemplation. Even though Lanni put it that way, he still couldn’t find it in his heart to blame Li Yuming. "Perhaps there’s something that she doesn’t want to tell you? You see, there might be things that you cannot bear to know. Maybe she is only beings secretive to protect your feelings."
Lanni glared at him. "Just whose side are you on?"
Xiehan laughed even though he knew it was not funny. "Listen, I’m not taking sides. I’m only trying to make sure you don’t have a falling out with your mum."
Lanni shrugged. "Let’s go in now."
She got off the car and he followed her out, taking the basket with him.
He glanced at the perfectly arranged fruits beside the food flask and remarked jealously, "Where’s mine?"
Lanni gave him a side eye and shook her head. Who would be jealous of his own future father-in-law? Even so, she promised to prepare a meal for him the next time he went to Li Yuming’s villa.
