Chapter 170: Chapter 138: The Two Sisters Finally Clash Head-on

By now, Yan Li was completely blinded by hatred.

Truthfully, it wasn’t just them filming a video that enraged her. The main issue was their sweet, lovey-dovey atmosphere; to her, the ex-wife, it was simply too grating to watch.

’It’s only been a month. How could they be so heartless, doing something like this!’

’And she actually dared to use that tone with me? Am I even her sister anymore?’

’It’s more like I’m her enemy!’

"President Yan..." Wang Meng tried to reason with her again, but a single, icy glare from Yan Li cut her off. Her voice was impatient. "Who’s the boss here?"

’I refuse to believe this!’

’If I can’t handle Yan Xici, I can definitely handle Xiao Ran.’

’I already did them a favor, considering our past, by letting them be together. What more do they want?’

’Are they trying to back me into a corner?’

Although Yan Li was an assertive person, she rarely lost her temper with a capable assistant like Wang Meng. But today, she had used such a tone with her.

Wang Meng understood then. ’I can’t talk her out of this. If I keep pushing, I’ll probably get dragged down with her.’

She sighed and turned to leave Yan Li’s office.

’She’s my boss. I just have to do what she says.’

...

Meanwhile, Yan Xici’s mood had soured considerably after the phone call. Arguments like that, after all, were truly hurtful.

Seeing the girl’s face was so long it practically touched the ground, Xiao Ran reached out, gently ruffled her hair, and grinned. "Don’t be sad. It’s okay, everything will pass. Look, aren’t those windmills over there pretty?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a cluster of neon windmills hanging in the distant trees. They were covered in small, colorful lights, making them particularly eye-catching in the night.

Yan Xici sniffled and said petulantly, "They’re too low. I can’t see them. I’m a shorty!"

Her soft, sweet voice carried a hint of her pique.

She hung her head, puffing out her cheeks as if she were angry at herself.

’I’m not as tall as my sister. Standing in front of Xiao Ran, I feel so skinny and small!’

Her sudden outburst made Xiao Ran laugh.

’This is just too cute.’

He blinked, looking at her as if she were a small child, his tone full of tempting suggestion. "How about we look from somewhere higher?"

"What higher place?" the girl scoffed. ’I’m not climbing on some roof! What if I fall?’

Xiao Ran chuckled slyly. "A high place that’s exactly six feet tall, of course!"

At his words, Yan Xici paused. ’Six feet?’

’Isn’t that his height?’

’Does that mean... he wants me to sit on his shoulders?’

’If that’s what he means, then I’m not sad anymore!!!’

’Just the thought of it is so thrilling, let alone actually doing it!’

She tilted her head up to look at Xiao Ran like a curious child, desire written all over her face!

Without hesitation, Xiao Ran bent down, helped the girl onto his shoulders, then stood up, his hands holding her calves.

Her soft, tender skin was slightly cool from the evening breeze, but it felt incredibly good to the touch—fair, smooth, and supple. Perhaps from the excitement, her dainty, cute toes wiggled from time to time.

The girl on his shoulders beamed with a radiant smile. In the distance, the row of windmills spun continuously, their speed blurring the kaleidoscope of colors into a halo of light. It was stunningly beautiful.

Yan Xici’s eyes were glued to the sight. "It’s so beautiful!" she couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Tch. I’ve already seen the most beautiful thing in the world. This is small potatoes."

Xiao Ran’s dismissive tone made the girl even more curious.

"Oh? And what’s that?"

Xiao Ran pursed his lips. "You, of course."

Hearing this, the girl on his shoulders felt her heart skip a beat!

’Oh my god, he’s so smooth!’

’He actually said *I’m* more beautiful!’

’My heart is racing!’

Her pretty toes couldn’t help but wiggle again.

Xiao Ran asked, "So? Feeling any better now?"

"Mm... a little bit better..."

The girl was the very picture of happiness, basking in his affection.

Hearing this, Xiao Ran chuckled to himself. ’Heh, as if I don’t know her.’

’She’s probably hiding a smile right now!’

"Well, you’d better hold on tight. There’s more fun to come!"

With that, he turned and started running towards their private room.

But, afraid that Yan Xici might fall, Xiao Ran kept his pace in check.

Even so, the girl on his shoulders felt as happy as if she were taking flight.

Her heart pounded with nervous excitement. THUMP-THUMP-THUMP.

’This is so thrilling!’

Xiao Ran ran all the way to the door of their private room. Inside, Li Yuan and the others had already been drinking for a while. Just as Li Yuan pushed the door open to head to the restroom, she saw them.

The girl was sitting on Xiao Ran’s shoulders, her face lit up with a brilliant smile. Below her, Xiao Ran’s expression was full of love.

Seeing this, she couldn’t help but feel another pang of envy.

’We’re both girls, so why is she so lucky?’

’I wonder when I’ll find a boyfriend who’s that amazing and looks at me like I’m his whole world.’

Seeing Li Yuan, the girl who had been overjoyed just a moment ago was instantly embarrassed. She hurriedly patted Xiao Ran’s shoulder, signaling for him to put her down quickly!

’This is so improper!’

"Uh, you’re back," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Yep!" Xiao Ran replied, then lowered his center of gravity and slowly squatted down.

Yan Xici hurriedly scrambled down from his shoulders.

By now, her mood had completely recovered!

"Um, let’s go inside," she said, then hastily pulled open the small wooden door to the private room and scurried in.
