Chapter 397: You are no longer on your own
"Don’t say such terrifying things." Xiehan was startled by what she had just said.
Ruby chuckled, while Han Xichen was in awe. "It’s an excellent idea. Lanni is so smart."
Xiehan smiled dotingly at his girlfriend. Well, he had to agree that she was intelligent to come up with such a sure-win trick. However, the mere thought of having her as his sister almost drove him crazy. He was certain that she didn’t know what that would have meant. It wouldn’t be funny.
Seeing his expression, Lanni laughed helplessly. "Of course, it is just a trap. You cannot be my brother, you already know that. I did a DNA test with my mother for official reasons before."
He pulled her to his side. "When do you plan to expose them, and what can I do to help?"
"Uhm..." She was about to speak when she realized that Han Xichen was still present. Unsure whether she could talk about such confidential matters in his presence, she looked up at Xiehan.
Han Xichen caught her movement from the corner of his eyes and looked at his watch. "I’ll let the three of you have a chat."
When he left, Lanni shifted her gaze between Ruby and Xiehan. "That depends. Who do you think is backing Ji Feifei up?"
Ruby thought about it and shook her head. "I don’t know. I have tried to find clues before but I couldn’t come up with anything. I’m afraid that if I’m discovered, I would endanger everyone."
Xiehan was not used to suddenly having Ruby as his sister but his heart softened when he saw how frightened she looked. He couldn’t help reaching out to pat her shoulder." You don’t have to do it on your own anymore. You have us."
"Now it all makes sense." A restrained exclamation left Lanni’s lips.
