Not too long later, she returned with a bag in one hand and fresh flowers in the other.

Lin Jiage was talking to Xia Shangzhou when Shi Yao came back to the living room. He shot her a glance, but he didn’t pay too much attention to her actions.

On the other hand, Lin Jiayi was a little worried about how the servants would arrange her things. While she didn’t carry anything herself, she still headed up to supervise them.

After returning to the house, Shi Yao didn’t rush off to find Lin Jiayi. Instead, she placed the items she had gotten from the car onto the tea table before taking a seat herself. Then, grabbing a fork, she continued cleaning off the fruit plate which the servants had just served to them.

Upstairs, since Lin Jiayi hadn’t closed her bedroom door, the people in the living room could vaguely hear her smooth but decisive voice.

“If you put this here, where do you plan on placing that? Have you ever learned about aesthetics before? Placing bright red and bright green together is the perfect recipe for ugliness, don’t you know that?

“If you can’t fit these lipsticks on the dressing table, can’t you think of another way? If I remember correctly, I bought quite a few storage boxes a while back. They’re being kept in the underground storage room. Bring some of them here, it should save some space…

“Alright, this should be fine…”

In the living room, Xia Shangzhou’s lips had never stopped moving, just that his voice wasn’t as loud as Lin Jiayi’s. “Boss, your sis sure is an amazing woman. She actually managed to beat down a group of men single-handedly! That was really an eye-opener for me!

“Boss, I think your sis is way scarier than you. I think I’m starting to get that idiom, ‘there’s always a person stronger than the strongest, and there’s always a world outside the one we see’ …

“Boss, tell me the truth. Did you grow up being protected by your sis? Or maybe she beat you up a lot? You know, I’m starting to sympathize with you a little. It must’ve been tough, Boss…”

Shi Yao was in the middle of cleaning up the fruit platter when she heard the last few words that Xia Shangzhou said. She couldn’t help turning a curious gaze toward Lin Jiage.

Noticing Shi Yao’s gaze, Lin Jiage, who had been maintaining his silence in front of the incessantly-speaking Xia Shangzhou, finally spoke up, “Are you joking with me? Would I need her protection? Let me make this clear, even though she might look powerful on the surface, her skills are only just good enough to deal with those basic thugs. Against me, hehe…”

Shi Yao placed a cherry in her mouth as she stared at Lin Jiage, disbelief clearly reflected in the depths of her eyes.

Xia Shangzhou also assessed Lin Jiage from head to toe, and with an equally skeptical look, he replied, “Boss, there’s a limit to how much a person can brag…”

Limit your head, I’m speaking the truth over here!

But the problem was that it was one thing for Xia Shangzhou to doubt him, but what was with Soft Bun’s expression? He was only forced into that situation because he had to protect her!

Lin Jiage couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, so he simply said, “You guys just wait. See how I knock her down when she comes down later…”

“Knock who down? Let me do it, let me do it…” Lin Jiayi was halfway down the stairs when she vaguely heard the latter half of Lin Jiage’s sentence, and she immediately dashed down excitedly to the living room.

She first shot a glance at Shi Yao, but she swiftly rejected that notion, thinking that if Lin Jiage dared to knock her Yaoyao down, she would smack him to death with a pan. After which, she turned to look at Lin Jiage, but she quickly shook her head too. After all, who in the world would knock himself down? Last but not least, her gaze fell on Xia Shangzhou, and she said, “… Navigator, are we talking about knocking you down? Come—”

“No no no, Big Sis Lin! You have to calm down, calm down! Our boss was talking about knocking you down—” Xia Shangzhou immediately leaped up and fled, not forgetting to explain the situation while he was at it.

“Is that so…” Lin Jiayi retracted her feet, which was already on the verge of connecting with Xia Shangzhou’s abdomen, before turning to look at Lin Jiage. A moment later, she took a seat on the sofa as well and said, “… Seeing that you’ve already been pummeled so badly, I’ll spare you for today!”
