The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 1305 1305: UPSET BROTHERS

AS they walked toward the mansion, Shen Ji Yun glanced down at Luo Yan. His eyes landed on the small, neat whorl of hair at the top of his head. For a second, he wanted to lean down and press a kiss right there. Just a small one. But they werenʼt at his place or somewhere private. He couldnʼt just kiss Luo Yan whenever he felt like it. At least not here. Still, it was fine. Luo Yan was right there next to him, close enough to touch. That was enough for now.

When they stepped inside the mansion, Luo Ren, Luo Jin, and Bai Ze were already settled in the living room. Luo Jin and Bai Ze didnʼt look surprised at all to see Shen Ji Yun walking in with Luo Yan. Luo Yan figured his older brother must have told them already.

”Ji Yun, what are you doing here so early?” Bai Ze asked, looking genuinely confused.

Luo Jin let out a brief snort. ”Why else? Heʼs here for Yan, obviously.” He narrowed his eyes at Shen Ji Yun, his tone dripping with dissatisfaction. ”Can you seriously not go a single day without seeing him?”

”Oh please, Ah Jin,” Luo Yan said, rolling his eyes at his younger brother. ”If you lived in B City, youʼd be at Sister Yuqiʼs place every single day too. Youʼd probably even wait for her outside her school.” He pulled Shen Ji Yun toward the empty couch and sat down, tugging him down beside him.

Luo Jinʼs face flushed red. He opened his mouth to argue, to deny it, but nothing came out. Because he knew, deep down, that was exactly what he would do. When he saw the smug, satisfied look on his brotherʼs face, annoyance prickled through him. He gritted his teeth and let out a small, frustrated pout.

Bai Ze winced a little at Luo Jinʼs reaction. Wow. This guy was completely gone for Su Yuqi. Just thinking about his cousin being with that she-devil made him shiver. What did Luo Jin even see in her? The guy had terrible taste, that was for sure. He shook his head slowly. Maybe Luo Jin had some kind of masochistic streak, that was the only explanation that made sense. He couldnʼt help but look at his cousin with a flicker of pity.

Confused, Luo Jin stared back at Bai Ze. What kind of internal drama was this cousin of his playing out in his head right now?

Luo Ren chuckled quietly to himself, clearly enjoying the whole scene playing out in front of him.

Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat gently. Itʼs better to change the subject now. ”Where are Uncle Wei Tian, Uncle Chen, Aunt Xiulan, and Xiao Ye?”

”Dad is at the company,” Bai Ze answered. ”Uncle went with him. They had some business to check on there. Mom went out to buy groceries. And Xiao Ye is still sleeping.”

Truthfully, he thought there was no need for his mother to buy more groceries. The pantry and fridge were already well stocked. But his mother probably thought it wasnʼt enough after how much they ate at dinner last night.

Shen Ji Yun relaxed a little when he heard that none of the elders were around. He reached over and took Luo Yanʼs hand in his, gently running his thumb over the otherʼs soft fingers.

Luo Renʼs eyebrow raised as he watched Shen Ji Yunʼs casual little action. The way he just reached for Luo Yanʼs hand like it was the most natural thing in the world. Luo Ren studied him for a moment. This guy. He really was something else.

Luo Yan looked down at their hands, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. But then a thought suddenly crossed his mind, and his expression shifted to something more worried. He looked up at Shen Ji Yun. ”Brother Ji Yun, are you and Uncle Yi Mu planning to go to the Shen family main house for Mid-Autumn Festival?”

Luo Ren noticed the worry that flickered across Luo Yanʼs face when he asked that question. He frowned slightly. ”Whatʼs wrong? Isnʼt it normal for them to go there for such an important holiday?”

Bai Ze seemed to notice something as well. He leaned forward slightly. ”Yeah, whatʼs wrong? Is this still about what happened during Lunar New Year?”

”What happened during Lunar New Year?” Luo Ren asked, curiosity flickering in his eyes.

Luo Yan felt uncomfortable discussing Uncle Yi Muʼs personal matters like this. It felt like they were gossiping behind his back. He, Luo Jin, and Bai Ze already knew about the situation because they were all part of Yunyue together and had seen Uncle Yue at Uncle Yi Muʼs house when they visited Shen Ji Yun. But just laying it all out for Luo Ren now, when the person involved wasnʼt even here to speak for himself, didnʼt sit right with him.

But he didnʼt have to worry for long. Shen Ji Yun spoke up, smoothly steering the conversation back to what Luo Yan had originally asked. ”Yan Yan is just worried because Shen Xin saw us together and found out about our relationship.”

Luo Jin frowned deeply when he heard that. ”What do you mean? And whoʼs Shen Xin?”

Bai Ze sat up straighter, nearly rising from his seat. ”Wait, what?” he said, his voice sharp. ”One of your asshole cousins found out about you and Xiao Yan? When did this happen? And how?”

Hearing that, both Luo Ren and Luo Jin went still. Luo Renʼs face hardened, a crease forming between his brows. Luo Jinʼs hands curled into fists where they rested on his knees, his whole body tensing. Neither of them looked happy.

”Explain,” Luo Ren said simply in an icy voice, his gaze fixed on Shen Ji Yun.

Luo Yan decided to explain it himself. If he left it to Shen Ji Yun, the other would probably just give the bare-bones version and call it done. And that would only make his brothers more upset.

”So... about a month ago,” Luo Yan began, ”Brother Ji Yun and I went on a date to a shooting range.”
