C16 Miss 16 Who Was Cannon Fodder

As Yiyue opened the car door, she was surprised to find someone in the back seat. Startled by her sudden entrance, the person looked up at her for a moment before nodding, "Miss Xi."

Recalling Luh Xin, Yiyue immediately recognized the person in front of her.

"Hey, scoot over a bit!" Luh Xin, sitting in the passenger seat, looked exasperated, almost ready to jump up.

Luh Binn turned his head, finally realizing what was happening, and moved over slightly. He hadn't expected Luh Xin to have the driver bring the car here.

Yiyue climbed in, feeling a bit embarrassed.

As the car started, Luh Xin didn't sit properly but instead turned to Yiyue, "Miss Xi, we're friends now, right?"

Yiyue paused, then nodded.

"Can I call you Yiyue?"

"Of course," Yiyue replied, not particularly concerned about how she was addressed.

Though Luh Binn remained silent, his gaze occasionally drifted to Yiyue. When he noticed Luh Xin half-kneeling and looking back, his expression darkened, "Sit properly!"

Luh Xin's smile froze, and she turned to meet Luh Binn's stern look, pouting slightly.

Yiyue glanced between the two and chuckled, "Miss Luh, you should sit back properly; it's safer that way."

"Just call me Xin," Luh Xin corrected, finally sitting back and buckling her seatbelt.

For the rest of the ride, apart from Luh Xin occasionally chatting with Yiyue, the car was mostly quiet.

The driver was very familiar with the route, skillfully avoiding all the traffic jams. Yiyue quietly memorized the way, thinking that next time she could tell the driver and not worry about traffic anymore.

Before reaching the villa, at the corner, Yiyue asked the driver to stop. "Thanks for the ride today, and thank you, Xin... and, um, Mr. Lu." Not knowing Luh Binn's full name, Yiyue wasn't sure how to address him.

Luh Xin nodded, about to introduce her brother, but Luh Binn had already nodded at Yiyue and then turned to the driver, saying, "Let's go."

Luh Xin thought to herself, "No wonder you can't find a girlfriend, Mr. Lu! You clearly like her but act so indifferent."

Hearing Luh Binn's words, Yiyue assumed they were in a hurry to leave, making her feel a bit guilty for having them drop her off first.

Tucking her long hair behind her ear, Yiyue smiled and closed the car door. She intended to watch the Lu siblings drive away, but after closing the door, the car didn't move. Feeling a bit awkward, Yiyue decided to walk on.

Before she could cross the street, someone suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist. "Yiyue, why are you badmouthing me?"

The accusatory tone made Yiyue frown. Turning around, she saw it was Lin Yuv holding her arm. With a slight chuckle, Yiyue responded, "Lin, what are you talking about?"

Seeing Yiyue still looking so calm, Lin Yuv couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated: "If it weren't for you badmouthing me, would Mr. and Mrs. Xi dislike me? Would Yihann..."

"Lin Yuv, have you no shame?"

Before Lin Yuv could finish, a woman's voice interrupted.

Luh Binn said he was going back, but he was just being stubborn. He still wanted to see Yiyue walk through the Xi family's front door. However, instead of seeing Yiyue enter the house, he saw her being pulled aside by a woman wearing a baseball cap.
