Chapter 409: Let Him Leave Home
Xiang Chen asked, “Bodyguard? I’ll go find out if there’s a suitable one.”
Xiang Chen interjected, “We have to hire a female bodyguard, a male bodyguard can’t protect her every single minute round the clock.”
Xiang Yu had a flash of inspiration. “A boyfriend can…”
In an instant, the three brothers cast looks that were almost fatal.
Xiang Yu wished he could die right on the spot and he quickly added, “I was just kidding. Is it funny? Hahahahah…”
He was chuckling wryly and cold sweat had broken out on his forehead, for fear that his big brother would teach him a lesson.
Xiang Chen glanced at him and couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. Instead, he said calmly, “Let me do the arrangement.”
Xiang Li said, “I think I can request for an official protection order for family members. Wait a minute, I’ll make a phone call to confirm.”
Xiang Qi exclaimed, “I’ll also go around to inquire about it!”
Xiang Yu said, “I’ll ask my friends as well.”
The few of them were very efficient. As soon as the yam and purple potatoes were steamed, Xiang Yi learned that she had… ten bodyguards.
The corners of her mouth twitched and she asked, “Uh… would that be a bit too much? I can actually protect myself…”
“Ten is too much?”
“Don’t take it lightly.”
“Don’t worry don’t worry, I can afford to pay this money!”
“…”
In a moment of helplessness, Xiang Yi had no choice but to accept their good intentions.
After the family meeting, the few of them left one after another. After all, they all had things to do.
After sending off her brothers, Xiang Yi felt a bit depressed but she soon accepted the reality.
It was difficult for them to get together so they would cherish it even more.
…
Jiang Jiujiu woke up from her nap and ran out of the guest room to look for Xiang Yi.
She wandered around for a while and saw Xiang Yi in the kitchen.
Xiang Yi was quietly preparing the toppings needed for the milk tea. Yam paste and taro balls were all her favorites. The light in the oven was on, and the scent of cookies wafted out, forming a warm and quiet scene.
Ding~
When the oven timer was up, Xiang Yi took out the cookies and tasted them.
Seemingly finding it delicious, Xiang Yi tilted her head to give herself a huge thumbs up.
Jiang Jiujiu thought, ‘Ahhhh, my best friend is so cute!’
Noticing Jiang Jiujiu’s line of sight, Xiang Yi turned to look and grinned widely. “You’re up from your nap, huh? Want to go for afternoon tea?”
Jiang Jiujiu haughtily folded her arms and said, “Since you invited me, I’ll think about it for a moment.”
A second later, she nodded and said, “Okay, I’ve decided, let’s go.”
Xiang Yi was speechless. ‘She really took only a moment.’
“I’ll carry the food to the glass nursery then.”
Jiang Jiujiu sounded like she was being wishy-washy but she took the initiative to help her with half of the things.
Just as the staff was almost fully rested, Li Jianyu yelled and prepared to shoot the scene of the girls having afternoon tea.
A few minutes later, netizens received a notifcation that the live-stream was on, and after clicking it, a scene that seemed to be from an idol drama, appeared in front of them.
The breeze was gentle and the distant mountains were beautiful. The light of the sun refracted through the glass, casting on the blooming flowers and greenery.
There was a lace tablecloth laid on the table, on which there were some exquisite biscuits and milk tea. There were also a few freesia in the slim porcelain vase.
The two young women were seated opposite each other and swaying relaxedly while leaning against the lounge chair.
The white and soft little kitten, Xiao Naofu, was nestled in Xiang Yi’s arms while the silly Little Xiji was squatting beside Jiang Jiujiu.
Jiang Jiujiu took a bite out of a cookie, followed by a sip of milk tea. She then squinted blissfully.
