Chapter 418 - ALMOST CRIMINAL (1/2)

LUO YAN was shocked to hear that Shen Ji Yun would so honestly admit that to his uncle. Was it because he reprimanded him earlier about not being honest when he asked him if he purposely went here to follow him? That's why he was being so honest right now? But this and that were completely different things!

[Brother Ji Yun, you should really know when to tell the truth and when to make an excuse!] – he complained in his mind.

If Luo Yan was shock, then Shen Yi Mu received a stronger shock.

Did he just hear it correctly? His nephew just admitted that the reason he invited him here was because he knew that Luo Yan and his family would go here for vacation. He suddenly didn't know what shocked him more. The fact that Ji Yun didn't really want to go on a family vacation with him or that he only wanted to go here because he wanted to meet Luo Yan.

Either way, Shen Yi Mu felt like he was hit greatly.

Luo Yan laughed. ”Oh Brother Ji Yun, why are you suddenly joking like that?”

The way Shen Ji Yun said that so straightforwardly that he followed him here in Chengdu, it was almost as if he was announcing to his uncle that this was the person he liked. Luo Yan didn't know if he should be worried about him or mad that he wasn't thinking of what the result of that simple slip up could be. In any case, he couldn't let things be awkward between Shen Ji Yun and his uncle.

”I'm n—” Shen Ji Yun was about to say that he's not joking but when he saw Luo Yan smiling at him, not his usual sweet smile but the kind of smile he usually showed when he was threatening someone. Shen Ji Yun felt like if he didn't change what he just said, he would definitely be punished by his rabbit. ”Yes, I was only joking.”

Shen Yi Mu looked at his nephew who was obviously lying through his teeth. He was this kid's guardian for more than a decade already. He knew how bad he was at lying. Making him the type to never talk nonsense. But it didn't matter since it suited his cold personality and expressionless face quite well.

So, what happened to that nephew and who was this in front of him?

He couldn't help but give Luo Yan a glance. He had a feeling that this change in Ji Yun had something to do with this beautiful boy. And he didn't exactly know what to do or what to feel about that.

Luo Yan turned to Shen Yi Mu and saw the other looking at him apprehensively. He suddenly became nervous. He wouldn't think that he was being a bad influence to his nephew, right?

Before things could spiral into a bad situation, he quickly said, ”Uncle Yi Mu, my Dad is actually inviting you and Brother Ji Yun for dinner later. I hope the two of you could join us.”

”We'll be there,” Shen Ji Yun said before his uncle could even speak.

Shen Yi Mu gave his nephew a side-long glance.

”Then, I'll be going now,” Luo Yan said.

”I'll send you back,” Shen Ji Yun said which earned him another glance from his uncle.

Luo Yan also saw these two glances. He truly wanted to pinch Shen Ji Yun's cheek and asked him if he couldn't be any more obvious.
