"It’s getting late. I have to go back and discuss a few matters with Xiao Yu." Luna finally used an excuse that Jiang Xingyu could not refute. While he was still thinking about what she had said, she grabbed the opportunity to slide off his lap.
The man frowned but couldn’t do anything about it.
On the other hand, Lanni’s ears perked up when she overheard them. She smiled in Jiang Xingyu’s direction. "Jiang XIngyu, could Itrouble to drop my sister off again?"
"I can..."
"You can count on ." Jiang Xingyu hurriedly snagged the chance before she could say that she could go on her own.
Lanni smiled sweetly, sending a aningful glance at her sister. before giving Jiang Xingyu more instrictions. "Please make sure she is in bed and warm enough."
The man grinned at Luna who was blushing awkardly. "Will do. I will make sure she is warm all night." He ignored her glare and took her hand to complete the mission.
"You are getting so much into your role as cupid, aren’t you?" Xiehan punched Lanni’s face when they were on their own.
"Isn’t it fun?" She laughed heartily. "My sister may be intelligent in most aspects but she is a dimwit when it cos to matters of the heart. She loves him so much but she has doubts about her feelings, so she really does need the push to make her realize it."
He pinched her face. "Are you sure it’s not because you simply enjoy playing a matchmaker?"
"Would it hurt if you didn’t expose ? I’m ignoring you!" She harrumphed.
Xiehan chuckled and stood up with her in his arms. "Let’s see if you still ignore this."
"Ignore what?" She answered her own question when she realized where he was headed. Fine, you win.

The following day.
Luna donned the wig that Lanni had previously used and they wore identical outfits. To make sure Luna was familiar with everything, and to buy Lanni ti to find a way to break into the store, Luna went to work as Jiang Xiaomu.
As soon as she arrived, Xing Han, was as usual, flirtatious. She scanned Luna from head to toe. "Little Mumu, you look a little pale today. Are you unwell?" He looked worried. "If you are unwell, why don’t you take a sick leave? Your health is more important."
Luna spent most of her ti indoors, so her skin was paler than her sister’s, Besides, she was less jovial and putting on a fake smile was not sothing she could easily do. Hence, she looked Xing Han up and down. "It’s just because my boyfriend is very bad, so I’m so tired. Do I need a sick leave for that?" She yawned.
XIng Han looked like he was on the verge of exploding. He gritted his teeth and said nothing in the end, leaving and banging the door shut behind him.
Luna smiled when she got rid of the man. Actually she was not lying. Soone was indeed very bad. Only that he was not her boyfriend. However, that man had terorized her all night. He had only let her off when she was so worn out that she collapsed weakly against his chest. Even so, he looked like he had obviously not had enough. She was so not going to let herself be in an enclosed room with him again.
That evening.
The eting was held in a small conference room of The Erald Grand Hotel.
Luna entered the small conference room, carrying Xing Han’s laptop amd docunts. The man sat down and she sat on the sa side of the table as him, thoughtfully keeping a certain distance from him.
Old Master Feng soon arrived with Feng Ci in tow.
Although Luna hated the woman just as much as her sister hated her, she had to force a fake smile and pretend to cheer up when she saw her. She swore to punch a dent into Feng Ci’s pretentious face once this was over.
In this deal, she didn’t have much to do since they had already discussed the details. In fact, her presence wasn’t needed. Xing Han had only had her accompany him for formality.
Hence, she did not need to worry about speaking too much and consequently, she would not risk exposing her identity.
The eting went smoothly, and her cara captured all of it. She had it installed in her brooch and from her position, it could capture everyone in the scene.
It seed like luck was on their side, because Xing Han explained everything in detail. Hence, it went without saying that she had managed to gather irrefutable evidence against him.
Her phone vibrated, and she apologized for the distraction before her slender fingers reached to turn it off. Before she did, she swept a glance at the screen and saw that Lanni had sent a thumbs up emoticon.
This was her signal that everything had been handled on her side. She pursed her lips to prevent a smile from surfacing, then looked in Xing Han’s direction uncomfortably. "I’m sorry, sir. May I leave for a mont?"
Xing Han waved his hand to let her leave. She thanked him and stood up, but just as she exited the room, he caught sight of the edge of her wig behind her ear. She had just experienced a wardrobe malfunction.
"Stop right there!" He hollered.
Luna froze on the spot and turned inquisitively.
"Li Lanni. Did you think you hid yourself well enough?" He mocked.
At first, it was indeed not suspicious. However, when he investigated Lanni with the intention to pursue her, he had found out that the girl had disappeared. Coincidentally, the day of her disappearance was the sa day as that of Jiang Xiaomu’s sudden appearance. If that was a coincidence, what about the fact that they looked alike?
Their disposition was different, and so was the color of their hair. Even her makeup skills were so excellent that he would never have recognized her. However, did they really think they left no loopholes?
A few days before Li Lanni disappeared and Jiang Xiaomu appeared, Li Lanni and Ji Xiehan had tried to contact a certain costic brand, with the intention of purchasing a human skin mask. Although they did not buy it in the end, it still explained a lot.
