BXBX NOVEL Chapter 233 - 233 As Long As It's Not A Man, I Won't Say Anything!
"Really?!" Ji Yanli chided him with her accusing eyes. "I really can\'t believe it! You ignored my and Haixiao\'s calls several times. We even thought… you have left the country for good!"
Ji Yanli snorted as she said, "But guess we are wrong. You are having a really good time. Heh!" The lady gritted her teeth against each other and felt like shouting beside the man\'s ears.
Sheng Ruming however peered into the room and asked, "Are they inside?"
"Yes." Ji Yanli puckered her lips and said begrudgingly. However the next second she paused and noticed Sheng Ruming\'s face which was somewhat reddish and gloomy.
"Hey, are you alright?!" Ji Yanli placed her hand on his cheek. In a second, she also retracted her hand even before the man could flare at her. "Your skin is hot. Are you sick?!"
Sheng Ruming glanced at Ji Yanli\'s face. Even though the woman was trying to act like a considerate person, he knew she was up to no good.
"Nothing. Tell her to come back to our room…" The man left after he had finished those words.
After he reached his room, Sheng Ruming went into the washroom. He glanced at the area where Ji Yanli had touched him.
"I told her numerous times not to play with me! Yet…" Sheng Ruming washed his face more than ten times. Then he put branded face wash on his white skin and rubbed hard.
After three times, the man stopped and glanced at the mirror. "It\'s okay now…" The man took a tissue and wiped that particular place. His frowning face didn\'t become normal even after several minutes.

Both Luo Lixi and Wei Airan were stealing small glances at each other. When their eyes met, both of them laughed out loud as if they had just heard a very funny joke.
"I just know your name. Is it okay if you tell me something about me? A little bit will do if you want!" Wei Airan was very happy. She stared at Luo Lixi\'s face and felt like hugging her tightly.
Luo Lixi sat straight in attention. She didn\'t even dare to relax before the other person. When she heard her, she hurriedly spoke out, "Of course, aunty. My proper name is Luo Lixi… "
Afterwards, Luo Lixi slowly told her about her family. When Wei Airan knew that her parents weren\'t alive, she felt sad. \'It\'s a regret that I won\'t have any in-laws. But an elderly in-law isn\'t bad either!\'
The lady felt there was still hope. She thought deeply and abruptly asked, "Your brother, what about him?"
Luo Lixi wanted to avoid telling Wei Airan about Luo Lixiang\'s matters. But it was expected. After all, she had only one blood-related brother.
"He is currently abroad." She covered her lips and coughed slowly while her eyes looked away from the woman.
"Are you alright?!" Wei Airan furrowed her brows and leaned forward.
Luo Lixi removed her hand from the face and shook her head, "It\'s alright." Her lips pressed into a thin line afterwards.
Wei Airan didn\'t notice her discomfort. They made small talks later and most of them were pleasantries.
Then abruptly Wei Airan\'s sharp eyes fell on the lady while her lips uttered each word with a deep tone, "Girl, you have said my son is your fiance."
The other person paused. Her face blushed while her eyes trembled slightly.
"I didn\'t know my Ruming has a fiancee even though I am his mother!" Wei Airan\'s eyes bent into crescent moons while lips made a beautiful arc.
"It\'s um, aunty it\'s actually…" Luo Lixi began to stammer. She was even having difficulty lifting her head and staring straight at Wei Airan because of utter embarrassment.
"Yes?" Wei Airan\'s smile deepened as her eyes observed her.
"Ruming has told me to introduce him as my fiance if someone asks who he is to me. That\'s it, nothing else! If you want I won\'t do it anymore!" Luo Lixi covered her face with her hands and bowed her head.
On the other hand, Wei Airan burst into laughter because of Luo Lixi\'s pitiful expression. She folded her legs and leaned backward and her lips couldn\'t hide her amusement.
"I could have never imagined that child would do something like this." Hearing her, Luo Lixi misunderstood Wei Airan and hurriedly stood up and bowed her head.
"I know… it\'s somewhat absurd." Luo Lixi lifted her eyes and told the other person in her determined voice, "I will stop calling him my fiance if aunty thinks it\'s not proper."
Wei Airan\'s smile cracked before Luo Lixi\'s humble attitude. "Ah, no no! It\'s perfect if you are my son\'s woman. I do care even if you are girlfriend, fiancee or something else!"
\'As long as it\'s not a man, I won\'t say anything... \' Her inner self sighed while her body stood up and went up to her. Wei Airan slowly grabbed Luo Lixi\'s hands and muttered softly, "It\'s alright as long as you younger generation know what you are doing."
Then the experience from years-long kicked in Wei Airan\'s head as she faked her laugh, "Do tell me if he refuses to be responsible for you in the future. I can\'t predict his thoughts and sometimes even I, his mother can\'t say for sure."
"Uh! Oh! Okay…" Luo Lixi nodded her head. Only then Wei Airan freed her hands.
"By the way, for how long do you know each other?" Wei Airan thought of this crucial matter suddenly. Luo Lixi blinked her eyes and thought while saying, "If I say it\'s more than ten years then it won\'t be a lie. We once studied in the same school."
"..."
"Aunty should know the school he once studied in the Long city."
Wei Airan turned extremely silent upon hearing her. She frowned and lifted her head to see Luo Lixi\'s expression clearly, \'Ten years. What does she mean?!\'
While Wei Airan was confused, Luo Lixi saw this and tried to explain, "We knew each other as friends. Just that some months ago, he asked me to be his fiancee."
