Chapter 24: Ninth Brother wants to find a woman to pretend to be his girlfriend?

Bai Sitong’s eyes flickered slightly.

She didn’t expect Meng Mingxuan to ask her so bluntly.

She was indeed a spoiled young lady.

“Ninth Master is very busy, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a sister-in-law to take care of the young lady and listen to her girlish heart?” Bai Sitong said pointedly.

Meng Mingxuan blinked, “But I asked Ninth Brother before, and he said he didn’t want to date.”

Bai Sitong was taken aback.

“Later I realized that Ninth Brother wants to date… a boyfriend.”

Meng Mingxuan deliberately gave Bai Sitong wrong information – Bai Chan was Meng Mingxuan’s idol, so Meng Mingxuan loved Bai Sitong, Bai Chan’s sister, by association.

But she wouldn’t reveal the secret that her Ninth Brother had someone in his heart, and that “someone” was a deceased person.

She would only make Bai Sitong back down.

Bai Sitong and Bai Chan were both a little stunned.

The famous Ninth Master of Lincheng… likes men?

It was unbelievable.

But they thought that Ninth Master was so powerful in Lincheng, yet he had never had a woman by his side, and they felt that this was probably the truth behind Ninth Master not dating or getting married at the age of 26.

Otherwise, which man in Ninth Master’s position wouldn’t play around with women?

At the entrance of the villa, the two rows of bodyguards lowered their heads in unison.

They really didn’t hear anything.

Nie Ziyang, Tang Jun, and Feng Yilin tried their best to hold back their laughter.

They couldn’t laugh.

If they laughed, they would be in trouble for a long time.

They might even be taken to the underground boxing ring by Ninth Master for a “friendly exchange”.

For a moment, Yan Mo Jiu suspected that something was wrong with his hearing.

Otherwise, how could his little rose say… that he wants to date a boyfriend?

Who gave her the wrong information?

Could this be the reason why he had been by her side all this time, yet she had never had any romantic feelings for him?

Thinking of someone misleading Meng Mingxuan behind his back, Yan Mo Jiu’s eyes darkened, and a cold, sinister look appeared between his brows.

“Th-then Ninth Master also needs a wife in public…” Bai Sitong, who was always scheming, stuttered for a moment.

Was Meng Mingxuan a silly little girl?

She dared to tell people about Ninth Master’s secret.

“Ninth Brother hates women, except for his sister.” Meng Mingxuan hesitated, then said, “If Sister Bai is really not afraid of Ninth Brother’s anger, and doesn’t mind Ninth Brother’s sexual orientation, then I’ll help Sister Bai ask Ninth Brother if he’s willing to marry Sister Bai as his same-sex wife.”

Same-sex wife!

Bai Sitong’s face flushed red and white.

The impact of this word was a bit too much for her.

After all, if Yan Mo Jiu really liked men, then with his identity and status, even if he married a same-sex wife, he would definitely not let his same-sex wife cheat on him.

But she, Bai Sitong, was going to inherit the Bai family.

She had to have a child of her own.

Yan Mo Jiu didn’t want to hear those absurd words anymore, he slightly suppressed the coldness all over him, and stepped into the door.

The bodyguards all stayed outside.

Nie Ziyang, Tang Jun, and Feng Yilin all managed their expressions and followed him in.

“Ninth Brother!”

Meng Mingxuan was just fooling Bai Sitong when she saw Yan Mo Jiu, dressed in a sharp suit, come back, she reflexively stood up.

Oh no, the nonsense she just said… how much did Ninth Brother hear?

Looking at the girl’s guilty and flustered…

With a glance, Yan Mo Jiu unbuttoned his suit jacket and touched her head, “Did you have lunch?”

“I did, I made it myself.” Meng Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that he was still in a good mood.

He must have just reached the door and didn’t hear her nonsense.

“Good girl.” Yan Mo Jiu looked sideways and glanced at the two Bai sisters who had already stood up, “Guests?”

Before Meng Mingxuan could answer, Bai Sitong introduced herself with a smile, “Ninth Master, hello, I’m Bai Sitong, the daughter of the Bai family. My father is…”

Yan Mo Jiu raised his cold eyes slightly, “Did I ask you?”

“…”

Bai Sitong was beautiful and knew how to get along with people. No man had ever disrespected her like this.

At this moment, she truly believed that the Ninth Master of Lincheng liked men.

Meng Mingxuan tugged at Yan Mo Jiu’s sleeve.

“What?” Yan Mo Jiu lowered his eyes again, looking at the slender fingers pulling at his sleeve.

His originally cold tone was like melting spring snow.

“Ninth Brother, she’s Bai Chan’s sister.”

“I know.” Yan Mo Jiu rubbed her head, “I have something to do today, you can take your guests out to eat and shop.”

“No, I don’t want to go out today.” Meng Mingxuan immediately shook her head.

Ninth Brother was at home, how could she go out?

Yan Mo Jiu felt her attachment and slightly curled his lips, his mood improved.

“Then you guys chat.”

He withdrew his hand and walked upstairs to his study.

“Come upstairs with me.”

These words were naturally addressed to Nie Ziyang and the others.

“Coming, Ninth Brother.”

Nie Ziyang and the others all smiled at Meng Mingxuan, then followed Yan Mo Jiu upstairs.

The three women were left in the living room again.

“Miss, we, we’ll take our leave now.”

Bai Chan’s back was already soaked in cold sweat.

The combined aura of Ninth Master and the three men, Feng Yilin and the others, was so powerful that it made her legs weak.

Bai Chan had wanted to say goodbye for a long time.

“Yeah, my Ninth Brother doesn’t like strangers in the house, we’ll get together next time.” Meng Mingxuan took Bai Chan’s arm.

She took Bai Chan and Bai Sitong to the door, watched them leave, then turned back to the living room.

The bodyguards dutifully closed the door.

Back in the car, Bai Sitong said to Bai Chan with a hint of meaning, “The Miss has a good temper.”

She’s a silly little girl.

Easy to deceive.

Bai Chan lowered her head and said nothing.

She knew that Bai Sitong wanted to marry into a wealthy family, but she just wanted to repay the Miss for saving her mother.

Bai Sitong glanced at Bai Chan and temporarily suppressed her desire to bully her.

Since Meng Mingxuan liked her sister so much, she should make good use of her.

…

Study.

The four men who were supposed to be discussing business were as quiet as chickens.

The door was left ajar.

They could hear the sounds outside at any time.

Yan Mo Jiu kept turning the golden pen in his hand, his black eyes fixed on the direction of the study door.

Downstairs, the Bai sisters had already left.

Meng Mingxuan looked up at the direction of the study, remembering that there were no live-in maids in the villa, no one to make tea.

She turned around and made four cups of Da Hong Pao, carefully placing them in a white tray.

Then, she went upstairs.

Just as Meng Mingxuan finished the stairs, reached the corridor, and walked towards the study, the men’s voices were clearly audible.

“Ninth Brother, you know that there are a lot of gossips in those big families, you’re bringing Mingxuan back like this, it’s not good for Mingxuan’s reputation. Those enemies will throw all kinds of dirty water at her. So Ninth Brother has to listen to me, find a shield.”

“Ziyang is right, and if Ninth Brother is single, he’ll probably be entangled by all kinds of wealthy young ladies when he returns to Kyoto, which will be very troublesome and will offend those families. It’s better to return to Kyoto in a “non-single” state, and cut off those families’ marriage plans.”

“Ninth Brother, just find a woman to pretend to be your girlfriend.”

Nie Ziyang, Tang Jun, and Feng Yilin all persuaded Yan Mo Jiu.

Meng Mingxuan stood at the door of the study.

She was slightly stunned.

Ninth Brother wants to find a woman to pretend to be his girlfriend?
