Mu Qingxue was shocked after Su Xiaoran revealed her true intentions. She couldn’t help but stare at her like she was seeing her for the first time.
Was this still her cute and obedient junior?
For a moment, Mu Qingxue felt some genuine anger toward Lin Haoren.
This man was like a persistent cockroach!
He had spent so many years struggling, but couldn’t even take a step into the entertainment circle. Clearly, he didn’t have the ability or talent.
Now, he was sticking to her junior like a pest, wanting to use her connections to get involved with the drama production!
This kind of lowly behavior was truly disgusting!
Mu Qingxue realized she couldn’t let Su Xiaoran keep interacting with Lin Haoren. This person was clearly a bad influence and would likely harm her.
However, this was also difficult to stop. The two were next-door neighbors.
Unless one of them moved away, they would continue to interact.
More importantly, she could see that Su Xiaoran was a hopeless romantic, a lovestruck fool. If she interfered too much, she would not only face fierce resistance but could even hurt their relationship.
Mu Qingxue felt distressed.
What can she do?
Su Xiaoran watched her senior’s alternating expression, and her face fell. She clearly understood that Mu Qingxue looked down on her Brother Lin.
Clearly, she had been the one benefiting from Brother Lin, yet Mu Qingxue believed he was using her.
Mu Qingxue obviously didn’t know about Brother Lin’s good points. Others might see him as mud, but only she knew that he was a diamond covered in dirt.
Once they remove the dirt, his brilliance would surely stun the world.
However, how could she make Mu Qingxue understand this without turning her into a potential rival?
Well, her senior has been involved in the entertainment circle for years, attended high-class social events, and seen all kinds of handsome men.
She wouldn’t suddenly fancy her Brother Lin, would she?
Su Xiaoran thought it over and felt increasingly convinced that it was unlikely.
Lin Haoren was becoming more handsome through proper self-care and grooming, but there should still be a limit to his handsomeness.
His looks shouldn’t enter her senior’s eyes.
"If the lunch impresses me, I’ll consider it," Mu Qingxue said, finding a soft excuse to refuse indirectly.
However, Su Xiaoran smiled thoughtfully.
Only she knew how much Lin Haoren’s cooking had improved since Mu Qingxue last ate at his place.
"Come to Star Residence, Room 304. Bring your own lunch," Su Xiaoran sent the text to Bai Yiyi.
"Okay!" Bai Yiyi hurriedly agreed after receiving Su Xiaoran’s confirmation text. Then, excitedly added, "Wow, you’re so great, Ran Ran! You actually get to stay at Star Residence! I only got a normal room in Building F."
"Ahem, it’s not my room. Sister Mu let me stay with her."
"Even so, I’m so envious! I wonder when I will get the chance to stay at Star Residence... If only someone could help me... Wink, wink."
"That’s not up to me."
...
Sometime later, Bai Yiyi arrived at Star Residence, Room 304, and Su Xiaoran guided her inside the apartment.
Bai Yiyi’s eyes beamed while studying the luxurious room.
However, her nose was quickly captivated by an almost irresistible aroma.
Her gaze fell on the spread of neat lunch boxes and thermal containers on the dining table, luring her over like the devil’s whisper.
"Holy moly! This lunch looks way too amazing! Where did you order this?" Bai Yiyi exclaimed.
She looked at her own pitiful lunch box, which she had casually ordered at the cafeteria, and lost the appetite to eat it.
"Brother Lin made it for me before I left," Su Xiaoran stated with a smug look.
"Seriously?" Bai Yiyi stared at her, shocked and envious.
This kind of treatment was too good, no? Was there something going on between them?
"I must say... as the master of this room, don’t I deserve even the basic courtesy of a greeting?"
Mu Qingxue sighed helplessly as she saw the two young girls in their own world. Her words shocked Bai Yiyi, startling her awake.
"Ah! Hello, Sister Mu. I’m very sorry. I didn’t mean to ignore you. It’s all Ran Ran’s fault for distracting me."
Su Xiaoran: ???
Su Xiaoran stared at Bai Yiyi, who was ingratiating herself before Mu Qingxue, and made a mental note to remember this injustice.
As expected, nothing good comes from this person.
"Let’s eat."
Mu Qingxue smiled, her vanity satisfied by Bai Yiyi’s obedient behavior. She became more pleasant to look at than Su Xiaoran.
At the dining table, Bai Yiyi excitedly grabbed her chopsticks and reached for one of the luxurious lunch boxes.
However, her hand was immediately slapped away by the provoked Su Xiaoran, who reacted as if her tail had been stepped on.
"Bai Yiyi, get your dirty paws away from my lunch!" She roared.
Bai Yiyi smiled sheepishly and started cozying up to her.
"Ran Ran, my good sister, my dearest sister. You wouldn’t want your good friend to go hungry, would you? You have so much food. Sharing some wouldn’t hurt, right?"
"Pah! Who’s your good sister and friend! Even if I have to stuff myself to death, I wouldn’t share any of my food with a shameless ingrate like you!"
Upon hearing Su Xiaoran’s firm stance, Bai Yiyi’s heart grew anxious.
"I was wrong, Ran Ran! You are a magnanimous person! You wouldn’t hold grudges over petty matters, right? Just treat my previous words as a fart, and let it go!"
Pfttt!
Mu Qingxue suddenly spat out her food and stared at Bai Yiyi as if she were looking at a strange creature.
Was that something a woman should say?
"Did you forget to brush your teeth, Bai Yiyi? Why is your mouth so smelly? You’re making me lose my appetite," Su Xiaoran said, aggrieved.
Bai Yiyi grinned wickedly and said playfully, "If you won’t let me have a bite, I won’t let you feel comfortable either."
"You’re ruthless!" Su Xiaoran spat with gritted teeth, deciding to compromise. She was afraid of what might come out of Bai Yiyi’s mouth next.
Mu Qingxue silently agreed in her heart.
It seemed this seemingly obedient Bai Yiyi was a monster in sheep’s clothing, and a force to be reckoned with.
This person must not be provoked lightly!
