Chapter 287: The Drama Is Intense
Now Leng Yan was completely overwhelmed by Xia Xiaonan's flirtatious behavior!
She had lost all her strength and gazed at Xia Xiaonan with affectionate eyes.
"Nan Shen~"
Xia Xiaonan's eyes were full of excitement.
Wahaha! Success!
She whispered in Leng Yan's ear, "Follow me!"
Leng Yan glanced at Xia Xiaonan, bit her lower lip, and finally nodded.
Then Xia Xiaonan pulled her toward the small room behind the ballroom.
Jiang Lang Mie's eyes widened.
What were those two going to do?
Could it be...?
No, no! How could that be!
Halfway there, Xia Xiaonan suddenly remembered something and stiffened.
"You... go to the room and wait for me. I need to go to the restroom."
But Leng Yan grabbed Xia Xiaonan's hand.
"Don't go, okay?"
Having finally seized the opportunity, how could Leng Yan let it go?
Xia Xiaonan chuckled. "Wait for me a bit! I need to prepare first!"
Leng Yan pouted but had to agree.
Xia Xiaonan then dashed off to the restroom.
At that moment, Jiangnan's phone suddenly rang.
"Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan! Cease fire for now! It's an emergency! Come to the men's restroom!"
Jiangnan: ???
"With me dressed like this? You want me to go to the men's restroom?"
"Ah! Just teleport over! It's a big deal! A big deal!"
Jiangnan's expression tightened.
A big deal? Could it be Leng Yan...?
He quickly got up, moved to a spot where no one noticed, and teleported to Xia Xiaonan's side.
They were now hiding in a cramped stall.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Xia Xiaonan was panicking.
"Xiao Nan, I... I'm so nervous! What should I do? Can you teach me? I don't know what to do next!"
"If I can't do it, maybe you should go instead!"
"No, no! I can't bear to! I'll go!"
With that, Xia Xiaonan's face was full of fighting spirit.
Jiang Lang Mie's face darkened. "If you don't know how, why did you flirt with her?"
Xia Xiaonan covered her face. "What do I do now?"
"Do you really want to go?"
"Mm-hmm!"
"Come here, whisper in my ear."
"Guniu~ guniu guniu guniu! Got it?"
Xia Xiaonan's eyes lit up. "I can do it like that? I'll go try it now!"
And she ran out.
"Hey! The pudding time is almost up. Don't blow your cover!"
But Xia Xiaonan had already disappeared.
Jiang Lang Mie pondered. "I have to keep an eye on her."
I have no other motives, okay?
I'm just afraid she might slip up, right?
It's definitely not because I'm curious.
In the small room,
Leng Yan took off her earring and hid it in her palm.
She took a deep breath and calmed down.
Xia Xiaonan pushed the door open, full of confidence.
Leng Yan smiled and wrapped herself around her. "Why did you keep me waiting so long?"
"Shall we start?"
Xia Xiaonan got a little nervous again, her eyes darting. "Um... um..."
Seeing this, Leng Yan pulled Xia Xiaonan into her arms.
"You were fine just now. Why are you shy now?"
At this moment, Jiang Lang Mie was using a space wormhole to observe the situation in the room.
A little excited.
But suddenly, she noticed Leng Yan's hand lightly brushing the back of Xia Xiaonan's neck.
Jiang Lang Mie frowned, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth. "Interesting."
Meanwhile, Xia Xiaonan was flustered, her eyes darting around.
Suddenly, she spotted the inconspicuous space wormhole at the corner of the wall.
She frantically signaled with her eyes, pleading.
Jiang Lang Mie couldn't help but laugh.
Xia Yao was so cute, wasn't she?
A moment ago, she was all eager.
Now that it was time for action, she chickened out?
You were the one who picked up this girl.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open.
Both Xia Xiaonan and Leng Yan were startled.
Jiang Lang Mie stared blankly at the two in the room.
Her eyes were red, tears streaming down like broken pearls.
"I knew it! The two of you..."
"Jiangnan! I like you so much! I love you so much! I've given so much for you, I've even..."
"Is this how you treat me? Wuwu~"
"Don't you care about me at all? Have you never loved me?"
Jiang Lang Mie screamed hysterically, her eyes full of unparalleled sadness and disappointment.
Leng Yan: !!!
Xia Xiaonan was dumbfounded.
Wow! Xiao Nan!
Your acting is absolutely explosive, you know?
Too much drama, right?
For a second, I thought it was real!
How reliable is that?
A lifesaver!
Xia Xiaonan: "Yao Yao! Listen to me! That's not..."
Jiang Lang Mie wiped her tears and shook her head. "I won't listen, I won't listen!"
"Just pretend those vows never existed!"
Saying that, she ran away crying.
Xia Xiaonan: "Yao Yao! Yao Yao! Don't go! Listen to me!"
And she chased after her.
Leng Yan watched the scene blankly.
"Tch, trash Nan."
But she also breathed a sigh of relief. At least she hadn't given herself away.
She pulled out her phone, hesitated, and sent a message.
"I did what you asked."
A reply came immediately.
"Good. Keep getting close to him. Jiangnan is very alert. Don't arouse his suspicion. Follow-up mission will be sent later."
Leng Yan's knuckles turned white as she gripped the phone.
"You'll keep your word, right?"
"Don't struggle, young one. You have no choice."
Blood trickled through her fingers, the nails digging into her palm without her noticing.
...
"Yao Yao! Yao Yao!"
"Stop calling! I'm here!"
Xia Yao saw Jiang Lang Mie at the corner of the corridor. Their eyes met.
Both saw the amusement in each other's eyes.
They high-fived.
"Nice!"
"Hurry up and swap back! The pudding time is almost up!"
They quickly changed back into their own clothes.
"Don't move. Let me see the back of your neck."
Xia Yao was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
Jiangnan parted her hair and indeed spotted a tiny, barely noticeable needle mark on her neck.
He gently pinched it; it felt a bit hard.
There was something inside.
"Hang tight, it might hurt a bit."
He then extracted the object from inside.
It was a tiny metal bead.
Xia Yao stared at the thing in Jiangnan's hand in shock.
"How did this thing get inside my body?"
"Didn't it hurt?"
"No."
"Heh, clever move. They used something like a numbing agent, huh? No wonder you didn't notice."
Xia Yao was horrified. She had been tampered with without even realizing it?
"Xiao Nan! What's going on?"
Jiangnan frowned. "Leng Yan put it in when you weren't paying attention."
Xia Yao was stunned. "Leng Yan? This..."
She recalled how Leng Yan had tried to get close to Jiangnan multiple times.
She never expected that today's commotion would lead to this.
Jiangnan looked at the metal bead in his hand solemnly. "Don't tell anyone else yet. Act normal."
"I'll make a call. You go back first. Remember to look like you've been crying, so Leng Yan doesn't suspect anything."
Xia Yao nodded.
