Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

“Nini, we are good friends,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Yes, it's because we're good friends, best sisters."

We've known each other for so long, we know each other inside and out, I understand you and am familiar with you.

"That's why I believe in you and trust you," Wang Manni said.

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't know what to say. She could sense that Wang Manni was determined to bring her and Lin Yi together.

She did have a slight crush on Lin Yi, but she didn't want to compete with Manny for a boyfriend.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should go to sleep," Wang Manni said. "I'm tired too."

"Uh-huh."

Zhong Xiaoqin returned to her room, her mind a complete mess, like a lump of mush.

She was thinking about something: why did she agree to that in the first place?

Now it's all good. Lin Yi will probably come tomorrow at noon. She already promised Nini. If she's not there, Nini will definitely feel uncomfortable.

But if she were here, how could she suddenly accept Lin Yi?

Zhong Xiaoqin was a little annoyed. Why rush things when you're trying to start a relationship?

Never mind, I'll just tell Lin Yi tomorrow.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was noon the next day.

Lin Yi drove straight to the Junyue Mansion residential complex.

Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin also returned, carrying groceries in their hands.

Wang Manni said with a smile, "Xiaoqin, it's all up to you. We'll be best friends for life. I'll protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll definitely help you."

"Ah."

Zhong Xiaoqin really wanted to say, with her personality, who could she possibly offend?

I blush when I argue with people.

Besides, she never argues with anyone.

Lin Yi arrived after they finished preparing the dishes.

Looking at the table full of dishes, and then at Wang Manni, Lin Yi looked at her with a puzzled expression, but Wang Manni did not give him any instructions.

Lin Yi thought to himself, "What's going on? Where's the surprise?"

At this moment, Wang Manni said, "Lin Yi, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat together."

"it is good."

Feeling a little dazed, Lin Yi ate with them.

Lin Yi had almost finished his meal, but he still hadn't seen the surprise Wang Manni had mentioned.

However, Zhong Xiaoqin's face was much redder than when she was eating.

Lin Yi asked with concern, "Xiaoqin, your face is so red, are you sick?"

"No," Zhong Xiaoqin said shyly, looking up.

Seeing this, Wang Manni quickly said, "Xiaoqin might be feeling a little unwell. Lin Yi, you take care of her first. I'll go buy some medicine for Xiaoqin."

"Okay, you go ahead," Lin Yi said.

After finishing his meal, Lin Yi disposed of the trash properly.

Lin Yi poured Zhong Xiaoqin a glass of water and said, "Xiaoqin, drink some water."

"Uh-huh."

After a while, Zhong Xiaoqin finished drinking all her water, but Lin Yi discovered that Wang Manni still hadn't returned.

Lin Yi couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoqin, I remember there's a pharmacy in the shopping mall next door, right? Why isn't Manny back yet?"

"I don't know either," Zhong Xiaoqin said, blushing.

Lin Yi took out his phone and asked, "Manny, are you back from buying the medicine?"

“Darling, Xiaoqin isn’t sick, she’s emotionally distressed. Go and get her treated,” Wang Manni said.

“Manny, you…” Lin Yi looked at her and suddenly understood something.

"Just as you guessed, I convinced Xiaoqin last night, and she agreed. Darling, isn't this a wonderful surprise?" Wang Manni said.

What the hell!

Lin Yi was stunned when he saw it.

Surprise?

Of course I was pleasantly surprised.

Lin Yi's two favorite cute girls are Xue Shanshan and Zhong Xiaoqin.

Now that Xue Shanshan is with her, only Zhong Xiaoqin is left.

He never expected that the surprise Wang Manni gave him would be Zhong Xiaoqin.

Isn't this surprise huge?

Another point is, why does his girlfriend always try to set him up with another woman?

Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo, they were just trying to bring each other together, which is understandable, after all, they are sisters with a very deep bond.

Their deep sisterly bond gave Lin Yi an opening.

But Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin don't have that deep a relationship, do they?

Why do I have to introduce him and Zhong Xiaoqin?

Did she discover something yesterday?

should be.

“Manny, your return isn’t what you think,” Lin Yi said.

He liked her very much, but Lin Yi couldn't show it too obviously or directly, otherwise he would hurt Manny's feelings.

Wang Manni did not reply.

“Manny, hey, it’s not what you think.” Lin Yi continued to send messages.

Wang Manni remained silent.

Two days later, Lin Yi learned of Wang Manni's resolute intentions.

Since that's the case, Lin Yi shouldn't miss out on this wonderful opportunity.

After all, they've already brought this together. If Lin Yi didn't react at all, he wouldn't be a real man.

On the sofa, looking at Zhong Xiaoqin sitting to the side with her rosy cheeks, Lin Yi moved a little closer to her and gently put his arm around her slender waist.

When Lin Yi stopped her, he clearly felt Zhong Xiaoqin's body shudder involuntarily.

Lin Yi said softly, "Xiaoqin, Manny just told me everything. I'm sorry, I didn't know she would do something like this behind my back."

I'm letting you go now. When will I get the chance to do it again?

Lin Yi knew very well that, given Zhong Xiaoqin's personality, as long as he was a little forceful, she would basically not refuse.

Once the deed is done, Zhong Xiaoqin will have even less chance to refuse, and she will certainly not refuse.

But if we release her today, Zhong Xiaoqin will be like a frightened little rabbit.

Lin Yi didn't know when he would have another chance, but he estimated it would be a long time.

Lin Yi could wait, and was willing to wait, but the problem was, there was absolutely no need for it.

"Really? You just found out about what Nini said too?" Zhong Xiaoqin said happily.

Well, it's true that Zhong Xiaoqin is a bit silly.

A man's words are deceitful; she actually believed them.

"Yeah, I just found out," Lin Yi said.

"Can you let me go? Let's talk this out, okay?" Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Talking is fine, but open discussion is not," Lin Yi said.

"..."

Zhong Xiaoqin said, "Lin Yi, I got annoyed by Nini's nagging last night, so I subconsciously agreed. I admit, I really do like you..."

Just as Zhong Xiaoqin was about to change the subject, Lin Yi interrupted her.

“I like you too, Xiaoqin. The moment I saw you, I knew I liked you. I think you're a really happy girl, and I'm really happy when I'm with you,” Lin Yi said.

Zhong Xiaoqin was dumbfounded. Why wasn't Lin Yi playing by the rules?

She hasn't said "but" yet? But what follows is what she really wants to say, okay?

Also, what Lin Yi said sounded so familiar, as if Lin Yi had said it to her when they first met.

Does that mean... Lin Yi really has always liked her?

Has Lin Yi liked her for so long?

Originally intending to make things clear with Lin Yi and reject him, Zhong Xiaoqin was suddenly moved by compassion.

"You bad guy, did you deliberately ruin my blind date? Did you?" Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Yes!" Lin Yi said, "I like you, how could I watch you be with someone else? I'm not a cuckold."

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhong Xiaoqin's face.

So that's how it is. She had suspected that Lin Yi was deliberately sabotaging her blind date, but Lin Yi gave so many excuses that he confused her completely.

Great. Now the truth is finally out.

"What about my mom's place?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked.

"When we were shopping, it was a surprise that the aunt saw us. However, I really wanted her to misunderstand that I was her boyfriend."

"Honestly, Xiaoqin, I don't want you to keep going on blind dates," Lin Yi said with a smile.
