Lanni waited with bated breath and when Xiehan finally received a ssage notification, she quickly asked what had happened.
"The police have her now." Xiehan announced happily.
Lanni threw herself into his arms and wrapped her hands around his body. "Finally. She is finally in the hands of the police."
"She will not be able to bother us anymore." Xiehan cupped her face, pressing a light kiss onto her forehead.
"Although I still think this is going too easy on her, it is much better than having her continue to walk around as a free woman and cause more trouble." Lanni cheerfully grabbed her phone. "I think we should really celebrate this. Once she is sentenced, we will celebrate again."
Her phone rang just as she was about to make a call.
"I’ll take this." She smiled at him and answered the call.
"Did you see the news? Did I do well?" Lin Jian quickly asked for praise, and Lanni could as well imagine his excited expression like a kid asking for candy.
A chuckle escaped her lips as she praised. "You did well."
However, the guy was not satisfied. Instead, he complained. "That’s not fair at all! Are you only going to thank verbally?"
Lanni laughed when she heard the familiar words. Birds of a feather do flock together, don’t they? Before they started dating, those were the sa words Xiehan would use every ti he did her the tiniest favor.
Treating Lin Jian as the child he was trying to act like, Lanni asked what he wanted as thanks.
Lin Jian pretended to think hard before demanding, "How about we have a few drinks together tonight? We can also spend the night together."
"Are you crazy?" Lanni was taken aback by the request.
"Haha, I’m just kidding. Why are you so worked up?" Ca the laugh from the other side.
"That’s not a good joke." Lanni was annoyed. Who would make such a joke? Those who didn’t know would think that he was trying to flirt with his friend’s girlfriend.
Just as she was about to hang up, the guy made a more reasonable request. "Since you cannot have drinks with , how about you help find a pretty girl to drink with? You can introduce to one of your friends. You can help find one that’s outgoing, has a beautiful figure, is elegant and beautiful."
Lanni was speechless. That did sound like sothing a guy like him would request. But where the hell was she supposed to get a friend to introduce to him? Even if she had a friend that fit his criteria, there was no way she would let any of her friends get together with a womanizer.
"Why are you silent? Are you going to say that you don’t have such a friend?" Lin Jian probed.
"I indeed don’t." Said Lanni.
"Liar! You have one. You just don’t want to introduce her to ." Lin Jian accused.
Lanni massaged her temples. "There is no way I’m introducing Cheng Yu to you. Go and find her if you have the manly guts."
"Eh? Cheng Yu?" Lin Jian seed slighly surprised. "Who is... oh, she is the girl who was with you at aunty’s banquet, right? She’s beautiful but I’m not talking about her."
"Who are you talking about then?" Lanni was getting tired of this conversation and wanted it to end as soon as possible.
"The other one who is slighly taller than you, has a pair of lovely eyes and long, red hair."
"Ruby?" Lanni was surprised.
"Yeah, that’s the one." Lin Jian sounded like he was about to pass out from the imagination of he and Ruby together. "She is as beautiful as a fine piece of ruby. Lanni, introduce to her."
Lanni was about to say no when he interrupted. "If you don’t, I will bug you about it every day."
Knowing his personality, be would really bug her every hour. Lanni could only sigh. What was she thinking when she asked Lin Jian for a favor? "I can only give you her contact details. If you don’t manage to convince her to go on a date with you, don’t you co back crying to ." She warned.
"Are you kidding ? Which woman can reject ? Unless she is not straight, she will surely agree to go on a date with ." Lin Jian basked in his own praise as he gladly asked for Ruby’s contact number.
While in Star Art International, Lanni and Ruby had exchanged numbers so she directly sent it to Lin Jian before going back to Xiehan.
Xiehan pulled her to sit on the couch next to him. "Who was it? You took long and you look drained."
"Your dear friend, Lin Jian." Lanni exhaled a sigh.
"Did he bother you?" asked Xiehan.
"You have no idea. That man wanted to thank him for helping us out. In the end, he asked for Ruby’s contact details."
Xiehan silently took out his phone and composed a text ssage.
_
Lin Jian’s phone chid. Having just sent a text ssage to Ruby, he was expecting her reply. So when his phone chid, he hurriedly checked and frowned in the next second. The sender was not Ruby but Xiehan instead.
[If you ever bother my wife again!]
The ssage sounded like a genuine threat and there was even a bomb emoji next to the words.
"Hey! What kind of friend is this?" Lin Jian complained.
_
When Lanni saw the ssage that Xiehan had just sent, along with the bomb emoji, she laughed and hugged him. "Honey, you are the best."
Xiehan wrapped his arms around her. "I’m serious about it. If he bothers you, I will not he so kind to him."
Lanni pecked his cheek then his lips. "I will not let him bother . Anyway, what about the party?"
"I’ll ask Xingyu whether he is available tonight. You should ask aunty too."
Lanni nodded. "Right. I haven’t told dad the good news yet. I’ll go to the hospital now."
