Chapter 250: You have no choice
Lanni let out a breath as she looked back at Lin Jian who was seriously waiting for an answer. "None that should be your concern." She finally answered emotionlessly.
She knew that Lin Jian was only looking out for Xiehan and was afraid that his friend might be betrayed. Despite this, she didn’t think she and Lin Jian were close enough to discuss such personal matters. How could she tell Lin Jian who Flynn was? If she did, she would also have to explain why she was in contact with such a person—then she would have to disclose her past altogether.
As expected, Lin Jian was dissatisfied with her dismissive answer. He frowned and gave her a warning glare. "I don’t personally care who that guy is nor why he seems to be close to you but I’m warning you. If you do anything to break Xiehan’s heart..."
Xiehan sent him a chilling glare and he shut up, mumbling to himself, ’I’m only looking out for you, Geez!’ What an ungrateful friend!
When Xiehan finally got Lin Jian to stop interrogating Lanni, Jiang Xingyu spoke for the first time since Flynn barged into their car. "Was what he said true? Did you really knock up a girl and ditch her?"
Now that he asked, everyone was curious too. Was Lin Jian really such a jerk?
"What the—! Of course not!" Lin Jian quickly defended himself when he saw their curious gazes. "I don’t know what that man has against me but I would never knock up a girl. And even if it somehow happened—the possibility is almost zero out of a hundred but if it actually happened, I would take responsibility for my child. I would never let my own child suffer a loss just because I’m not ready to settle down. Not to mention, kids are adorable. Why wouldn’t I want him?"
Lanni saw the playboy swear that he couldn’t shirk responsibility and found it comical. So the idiot actually had a brain. But from the looks of it, he didn’t seem to know anything about kids aside from their cuteness.
"What’s the next move?" Jiang Xingyu changed the topic, quickly moving on from Lin Jian.
"Obviously, use the information we have obtained to blackmail Li Xiyan." Lanni answered him then recalled that there was something she had not confirmed.
"Can I use your laptop?" She asked the man beside her. He turned it on and gave it to her. As though he already knew what she was going to do, he ran the codes for her. Lanni smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks my love."
