Chapter 435: Ran into Su Ran at Luo’s Mansion

“My own story?” Fang Chixia smiled bitterly and with a bit of timidity.

What story can she have?

She was too young to remember anything, so her memories of her childhood were a bit blank. When she grew a bit older in the orphanage, nothing special happened.

After that, she entered the Fang family, where fighting with the Fang siblings was a common occurrence, so what was there to say?

“Where’s your mom and dad?” Xiao Zuo asked casually.

“Can’t remember.” Fang Chixia replied faintly, lifting the sheet and letting him lie down, “Go to bed early, otherwise it will affect your intellectual development.”

“You won’t leave while I’m asleep, right?” Xiao Zuo asked cautiously.

“Not going to.” Fang Chixia looked at the time on her phone and gave him a very definite answer.

It was so late at this time of night, and it wasn’t safe for her to go back alone.

Satisfied with her answer, Xiao Zuo went to sleep without worry.

Fang Chixia stayed with him in his room for a while, waiting until he was asleep before pulling open the door and walking out.

She was heading to her room when downstairs, the greeting of the maid suddenly echoed, “Young master, you are back!”

The familiar sound of footsteps followed closely downstairs.

At the same time came another, lighter footsteps.

Fang Chixia was aghast and halted on the spot.

“Has Miss Su Ran had dinner yet? I’ll go prepare you some.” The maid’s voice rang out again.

“Thanks Aunt Chen.” Su Ran was obviously already familiar with the house, and didn’t even need an introduction to identify a servant.

Fang Chixia stood perfectly still, her whole person completely rigid.

It’s late, what is she doing here!

The sound of conversation continued downstairs as Su Ran chatted with the servant for a while, after which they moved to the dining room.

Luo Yibei, who had dined before he went out, didn’t linger much downstairs and came upstairs in a big stride.

He just stepped on the floor when his cold eyes clashed with Fang Chixia’s.

Fang Chixia, who had been standing in this pose ever since the two arrived, stared at him unblinkingly, her eyes somewhat cold, somewhat grim, and seemingly a bit sarcastic.

Luo Yibei obviously found her presence a surprise. They held each other’s gaze. Noticing her intricate eyes, he then looked downstairs and for a moment, couldn’t find the words to say.

His lips twitched, and at last only squeezed something hardly, “You’re here too.”

Fang Chixia ignored him, turned around, pulled open the door of her room and walked in.

The door to the room slammed shut with a thud, and there was no more movement after that.

Luo Yibei rubbed his temples with some headache, kicked the wall hard in the corner with his toes, and dragged his long legs back to his room.

Su Ran was still eating when he took a shower and changed his clothes to go downstairs.

“Want a taste?” Lifting the spoon in her hand, she smiled and offered.

“No.” Luo Yibei declined softly.

Standing on the stairs, he didn’t go down either, just stood there and stared at her in contemplation.

After he picked Su Ran up, he was going to send her back directly, but halfway there, Su Ran suddenly proposed coming to the Luo Mansion for an official visit.

Luo Yibei didn’t refuse when he thought that she really hadn’t come to visit home since she returned this time, and that it was so late this time of the night.

He had intended to send her over and go back to Fang Chixia. Unexpectedly, Fang Chixia also came by and so coincidentally bumped into them!

Luo Yibei was suddenly struck by an inscrutable emotion.
