Chapter 313 - The Midnight Horror (2/2)

He Shishi was very sorry when she heard that A Miao was forbidden from going out.

“I also wanted to stay with you for a few more days. In that case, I’ll go now.”

A Miao rolled around in bed for two laps. “Will you go back to City S?”

“I’ll go to Europe first, and return to City S next month.” He Shishi said to her, “You have to be careful. You may die if you create a little trouble in the Lan family.”

“Do not worry! I will be careful.”

After He Shishi left, A Miao’s life became more monotonous, playing chess and talking with Lan Lixiao every day. Ouyang Jin seemed to have left with He Shishi, and did not even call her.

This situation did not change until the Mid-Autumn Festival came. At midnight, because A Miao ate nothing at dinner, she woke up, due to hunger and went downstairs to find something to eat.

“Clap!”

When she was about to enter the kitchen, she heard a noise at the door.

“Who is there?” A Miao vigilantly turned on the lights in the living room.

But she didn’t find anyone.

She walked slowly towards the door, but suddenly a man rushed out behind the sofa, and covered her mouth before she could speak.

“Purr, purr…” A Miao struggled to remove the man’s hand.

There was a low laugh in her ear.

“Are you… Lan Miao?”

A Miao opened her eyes wide, and made the “purr” sound twice.

When the man let go of her, A Miao was about to shout, when she heard him say.

“You look like my eldest brother.”

Though A Miao opened her mouth, she did not make any sound. She saw a young face under the light, which resembled Lan Lixiao, when he was young.

“You… You…” She stammered, and didn’t know what to say.

The man laughed, but the smile presented by his eyes and eyebrows was insincere. His handsome facial features made her feel cold, and even his voice was heartless and cold, like a cold wind had blown through the room.

“I’m your fourth uncle, if you’re my niece…”

Blue Heng was the Fourth Young Master in the Lan family! A Miao tried to control her emotion, and began to speak when she felt her voice was back to normal.

“Fourth uncle?” She covered her chest. “You… You scared me to death.”

Blue Heng looked at her. “You don’t look too scared.”

“Should my face be pale?” A Miao said angrily, “Then you should change into white clothes next time!”

“Fourth Young Master?” Uncle Fu suddenly ran in from the side door. “You’re back!”

Lan Heng threw his overcoat on the sofa. “I just got off the plane. It’s too late to wake Dad up. I’ll see him tomorrow.”

“Miss Elder, what’s the matter?” Uncle Fu saw that A Miao’s expression was not normal.

“I’m fine, Uncle Fu.” A Miao showed a forced smile. “I’m going upstairs to rest first!”

After she left, Lan Heng loosened his tie. “When I just came back, she came downstairs and was frightened by me.”

“Hahh!” Uncle Fu laughed. “Miss Elder is lovely. Elder Master likes her very much!”

Blue Heng sneered. “You don’t need to remind me how to treat her. Though my father likes her, it doesn’t mean that I have to accept her.”

“Fourth Young Master…”

Lan Heng raised his hand to interrupt him. “I want to get over the jet lag. I’ll go and have a rest first.”

He took his luggage to the door, turned around and said, “By the way, if I don’t come tomorrow morning, nobody should wake me up.”

I see, Fourth Young Master…”

After A Miao returned to the room, she found her hands trembling. She turned around several times in the room. She thought a while, and then took out her cell phone to send a message to Ouyang Jin.

“Lan Heng is back.”

Ouyang Jin quickly replied. “When?”

“Ten minutes ago.”

“I know. I will go and find you tomorrow.”

Later, A Miao never did go back to sleep. She did not know whether she was cold or was frightened… and she had caught a cold.

On the contrary, she was glad, because at least she did not have to go downstairs and face Lan Heng.

“She must have been scared by that guy last night!” Lan Lixiao ran up to see her. Seeing A Miao’s runny nose and pale face, he thought it was Lan Heng’s fault.

“Grandpa, I’m fine.” A Miao sniffed. “I’ve taken the medicine.”

Uncle Fu put down the porridge cooked by auntie. “You have to eat something, or you’ll have no strength.”

A Miao waved her hand. “Uncle Fu, I don’t want to eat. I just want to sleep.”

“Yes, yes!” Lan Lixiao helped her to lie down. “Sleep, you’ll be fine, after you take a nap.”

A Miao lay down and watched the two old men leaving the room. Then she sent a message to Ouyang Jin and told him not to come over today, and promptly fell asleep.

But Ouyang Jin thought it would be more appropriate to look for her, so he visited A Miao in the afternoon, and happened to enter the door, at the same time as Lan Heng.

“Ouyang Jin?” Blue Heng was very surprised to see him. “When did the God of gamblers come to Jingcheng City?”

Ouyang Jin blinked. “I’m pursuing your niece.”

“…” Lan Heng realized that he was talking about Lan Miao.
