When Ye Yan spoke, she acted like a hostess and deliberately did not look at Su Mo. It was obvious that she was ignoring Su Mo.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room was a little stiff.

Obviously relying on her relationship with Xiao Nanye, Ye Yan said to Jiang Shengze in a friendly manner, "Ah Ze, where's Ye? I prepared a Christmas gift for you!"

The person who was addressed was simply heartless. He looked up at the stairs and said, "Ah Ye just went upstairs to pick up a call."

Ye Yan had no time to remove her makeup, but she had time to prepare gifts.

Although Su Mo was a little slow, she understood that Ye Yan had come with ill intentions.

Su Mo looked at Ling Xuetong and then at Ye Yan whose face was peaceful. She forced a smile on her face and opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say.

When Ling Xuetong saw Su Mo behave like this, her face was very bad. She raised her delicate chin and said, "What? You don't seem to welcome us?"

Su Mo thought to herself, "This is an injustice. I just didn't know that you would come. I was just surprised!"

However, since Ling Xuetong was Young Master Xiao's sister, Su Mo could not offend her, so she waved her hand and explained, "No, no. I didn't know that Xiao Nanye also invited you."

Su Mo always said what she wanted to say, and her words had no other meaning, but in Ling Xuetong's ears, it was a different situation.

"Do you mean that we can't come without an invitation?"

"What? Do I need your permission to come to my brother's house? Who do you think you are?" This Eldest Miss had a tough temper and asked with a sullen face.

This time, Lu Shaoqi was annoyed. She widened her eyes and smiled extremely flirtatiously.

"It's really funny. You actually don't know who she is when you visit her home? If you don't know her, you can ask your brother who she is now."

Lu Shaoqi was never one to mince her words, not to mention that this person dared to bully Su Mo in front of her.

Lu Shaoqi's words made Ling Xuetong speechless. Her face was green with anger. She looked at Lu Shaoqi with a twisted face. She wanted to tear Lu Shaoqi apart.

It was still Ye Yan who was good at socializing. She pulled Ling Xuetong aside and told her not to lower herself to the same level as that person.

"Xuetong didn't mean anything else. Please don't take it to heart, Miss Lu." Ye Yan said to Lu Shaoqi with a graceful smile.

Her behavior was the most likable, but unfortunately, this time, she had met Lu Shaoqi.

This Eldest Miss grinned and said, "That's strange. Does she need your help whether she has any other intentions? Who are you to her?"

"You..."

Ling Xuetong glared angrily and was about to go up to argue with Lu Shaoqi when she heard a voice from behind her. "Why are you all standing at the door? Are you waiting for me?"

The one who had just spoken was naturally Doctor Qiao, who was still working conscientiously on Christmas Eve.

When Ling Xuetong heard this voice, the ferocious expression on her face suddenly turned into a pool of spring water. Before she turned around, she opened her mouth and called out, "Brother Ah Yuan."

However, she did not expect that there was someone here who was faster than her.

As Lu Shaoqi had been waiting for an opportunity to make a move, the moment she saw Qiao Mingyuan appear, she rushed toward him without hesitation and once again pounced on him.

"Hey, Beauty Qiao, I haven't seen you for a few days and you look more handsome!" Eldest Miss greeted with a smile.

Qiao Mingyuan didn't expect that Eldest Miss would be here as well, and even more so, he didn't expect that she would pounce on him like last time, regardless of the consequences.

Fortunately, she controlled her strength this time and did not manage to knock him down.

Looking at the pairs of frightened eyes behind her, Qiao Mingyuan felt a headache. He held his forehead and sighed, "Miss Lu, we meet again."

"Yes." Lu Shaoqi nodded repeatedly, refusing to get up from Qiao Mingyuan.

In fact, today's situation was better than that of last time. This time, Eldest Miss was very restrained.

Ye Yan, Jiang Shengze, and the others had seen her previous behavior before, so it was not surprising to them.

However, Lu Shaoqing was a little surprised. It was the first time that he had seen his sister interact with the opposite sex like this. He was interested in this Doctor Qiao whom he had met for the first time.

Lisa and Ling Xuetong were both shocked by Lu Shaoqi's actions.

Lisa looked at Lu Shaoqing, and then she looked at the person beside her who was smiling very reluctantly, thinking to herself, "This friend of Miss Su is too interesting."

Ling Xuetong didn't think so. She had been against Lu Shaoqi from the beginning. Now that Lu Shaoqi was holding Qiao Mingyuan, Ling Xuetong's face turned black immediately.

"Lu Shaoqi, do you still have any shame? Let go of Brother Ah Yuan."

With a beautiful man in her arms, Lu Shaoqi naturally would not let go of him. She coldly glared at Ling Xuetong, "It's none of your business that I'm hugging my Beauty Qiao. If you had any shame, you wouldn't have come here."

"This is my Brother Ye's home. If you can come, why can't I come?" Ling Xuetong still managed to maintain her last bit of rationality and did not rush up to tear Lu Shaoqi apart.

At this time, Qiao Mingyuan, who had been ignored for a long time, spoke, "Miss Lu, can you let go of me first when you are chatting?"

"I can let you go if you want me to. Give me your phone," Lu Shaoqi said with a sly smile.

Qiao Mingyuan took out his phone and asked, "What are you doing with my phone?"

Eldest Miss smiled very sincerely. "We get to know each other again and again. We are all acquaintances now. Let's add each other as friends on WeChat first so that we can communicate later!"

The logic of women was always so weird.

It was said that three women were enough to form a play, but today there were five women here. Qiao Mingyuan handed the phone to Lu Shaoqi and quickly left the place of trouble.

Seeing him walk over, the people on the sofa who were watching the show all looked at him sympathetically.

Han Ziyi said, "Ah Yuan, it seems that you have luck with Eldest Misses!"

However, no matter how one looked at it, Han Ziyi's smile was gloating. Indeed, the Eldest Miss of Ling Family was unruly and willful, while the Eldest Miss of Lu Family acted strangely and never acted according to common sense.

These two were both rare and top-notch, yet Qiao Mingyuan had met them both.

"Sorry, I'm late." Qiao Mingyuan sat down and greeted everyone.

Seeing the helpless look on Lu Shaoqing's face, Jiang Shengze said with interest, "Young Master Lu, your sister is very interested in my brother!"

Lu Shaoqing said with a headache, "She's been spoiled. I hope Young Master Qiao won’t overthink it!"

"Miss Lu is very cute." Qiao Mingyuan shook his head gently.

He was not attempting to be courteous, because he could tell that Lu Shaoqi was a girl with a real temperament, and he would not be tired to be with such a person.

If not for the fact that he had veered off the track a long time ago, he might really have fallen in love with such a girl. Lu Family's daughter could be considered to be of equal social status as his.

"Since Ah Yuan is here, let's begin! I'll go up and call Ah Ye."

Just as Han Ziyi stood up, he heard Su Mo say, "You guys eat something first. I'll call him over." After that, she went upstairs with her cane.

In fact, Su Mo's current mood was very complicated. Originally, she just wanted to invite familiar friends to come to her home, have some fun, and celebrate the festival together, but she did not expect so many people to come at once.

She had an odd feeling that this Christmas Eve would be unforgettable for the rest of her life.

"Can I come in?" Su Mo knocked on the study door.

"Come in." Hearing the voice inside, Su Mo pushed the door open and went in. However, after seeing the person behind the desk, she felt a little wronged.

Xiao Nanye was still talking on the phone. Seeing Su Mo standing at the door with a tired face, he hung up the phone with a few words and stretched out a hand to her. "Come here."

This time, it was rare for Su Mo not to argue with him. She walked over to him meekly and called out to him in a muffled voice, "Xiao Nanye."

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Xiao Nanye still did not know what was going on down there.

Su Mo nodded and walked toward him. She was pulled to sit on his lap but she did not resist. She said in his ears tiredly, "If I had known, I wouldn't have held this Christmas party."

Only then did Xiao Nanye realize that something was wrong with her. He poked her face with his finger and asked, "You were very happy just now. Why are you so listless now?"

Su Mo did not want to answer, so she buried her head in his chest, looking exceptionally docile. "Yes, I'm just listless."

Feeling the broad palm gently stroking her head, she felt her heart slowly calm down. After a while, she said gloomily, "Your sister is here, together with Ye Yan."

The smart Xiao Nanye immediately understood the reason why she was unhappy.

He stroked her as if he was touching a puppy and explained to her, "In the past, we would go to Earthly Paradise to have a banquet. When Ye Yan doesn't need to work, she would come over."

Su Mo nodded. She knew that their brotherhood was strong and that he did not have any romantic intentions toward Ye Yan. However, she just did not like the way that person looked at her as if Ye Yan wanted to see through her.

Su Mo felt that Xiao Nanye must have done something, so Ye Yan had fantasies about him. She remembered that last time, Ye Yan said on TV that if Xiao Nanye wouldn't leave Ye Yan, she promised to not leave him until death separated them apart.

Su Mo felt so sour!

"Xiao Nanye." The jealous little girl was very conflicted. She poked Xiao Nanye's chest with her finger and said, "Hey, tell me honestly. With such a Beauty by your side, have you never been moved?"

Su Mo thought to herself, "Did you not do anything to make her misunderstand?"

Su Mo looked very cute when she was jealous, just like a little pet that had lost its favor, silly and cute.

"Heh."

Xiao Nanye couldn't help but chuckle. He finally understood that the two of them could be so happy together. He was taking pleasure in it, but it was a pity that Su Mo had a worried expression.

He held her hand and asked instead of answering, "Then, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course..." Su Mo wanted to say the truth, but she stopped halfway, afraid that the truth was something she did not want to hear.

Her exceptionally good-looking big eyes swiveled back and she suddenly grabbed Xiao Nanye by the collar, saying, "You are not allowed to like her, and you are not allowed to like other women."

It was these unreasonable words that made Xiao Nanye suddenly burst into laughter. It had been a long time since he had laughed so freely because of his girl.

Because she cared about whether he liked others or not, he was very happy. It was just that simple.

"Since you like to laugh so much, you might as well laugh to death!" Unable to endure being laughed at by him like this, Su Mo flew into a rage out of humiliation and pretended to be angry as she left.

Xiao Nanye didn't dare to go too far. Knowing well when to stop, he kept her in his arms with one hand and lifted her chin with the other. He smiled and said, "Alright, I won't like others."

He thought to himself, "I won't like others. I only like you!"
