Chapter 12
The Misunderstood Intimate Relationship

Lin Fan, who was laughing and chatting with Gu Jia, didn't expect to run into Jian Ai and Liu Ying Xia here.

When the two suddenly appeared in front of him, Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment. It was obvious that they had misunderstood his relationship with Gu Jia.

Gu Jia also didn't expect to run into Jian Ai here.

Although she didn't know Jian Ai, she had seen her going out with Lin Fan the day before yesterday when she was looking at houses. Later, the noise from the next door... made her remember Jian Ai vividly.

It was her fault that she completely forgot about Jian Ai's existence when she invited Lin Fan out today. Now that they had bumped into each other, it would be terrible if she caught them red-handed.

Gu Jia reacted quickly and hurriedly stood up to explain: "Mrs. Lin, please don't misunderstand, Lin Fan and I are just having a meal here."

For a moment, the atmosphere became heavy, and it seemed like everything around them had gone quiet.

Mrs. Lin?

Lin Fan, Jian Ai, Liu Ying Xia, they all didn't expect Gu Jia to misunderstand first.

After a brief silence, Lin Fan also stood up: "Don't be nervous, she's not my wife, I'm single."

"Ah?" Gu Jia was puzzled: "Then who is she?"

Jian Ai smiled and extended her hand at this time: "We've met before, you can think of me as his sister."

Gu Jia was even more astonished.

Sister?

This world is too crazy, right?

Is kinship not across mountains and seas, but across oceans?

If she were Lin Fan's girlfriend or wife, then it would make sense.

But clearly it's his sister... how can two people...

"Are you really his sister?"

Gu Jia's eyebrows were furrowed together, she really couldn't believe this crazy world.

Jian Ai saw that she clearly misunderstood, but she didn't expect her to misunderstand so crazily: "I'm not his biological sister, I'm considered a sister in friendship, I'm older than him."

Gu Jia breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that the world is not as crazy as she imagined.

The "Across Mountains and Seas" was just acting. If it happened in real life, she would doubt life.

"Understood, I thought you two were a couple!"

"No... he's always been single, then what about you two..."

Lin Fan continued to explain: "Don't misunderstand, we haven't done anything. It's just that I helped them move this morning, so our warm-hearted neighbors invited me to have a meal, that's all."

Jian Ai pouted. So that's how it was, but why was Lin Fan getting so nervous?

Liu Ying Xia said nonchalantly from the side: "That's good, we both thought you two were getting close."

Jian Ai quickly nudged her, she was being too direct with her words.

Gu Jia's face turned red, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to slip into.

An ordinary meal, who knew it could cause such a misunderstanding.

"Don't misunderstand, you're all just neighbors."

Jian Ai nodded: "Got it, you guys eat, we've finished eating, we should go back to the company." She then directly pulled Liu Ying Xia away, afraid she would say something inappropriate again.

Seeing the two of them leave the restaurant and walk out the door, Lin Fan and Gu Jia finally sat down.

After being interrupted by them, Gu Jia had lost her appetite to continue eating.

"She's just your sister, then why are you living together?" Gu Jia was very curious. Since they weren't a couple or relatives, living together and doing everything together, their relationship certainly wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Lin Fan didn't know that Gu Jia had heard him doing exercises, so he explained solemnly: "Actually, she's my brother's ex-wife, she just moved into my house after the divorce. She might move out anytime, so I call her sister."

Gu Jia twitched her lips, brother's ex-wife?

Lin Fan really knows how to play!

Even if she's an ex-wife, he shouldn't be so sneaky!

"Hehe... I get it, you have the ambition of Meng De."

Lin Fan was completely baffled, what does that mean?

Didn't he explain that she was just temporarily staying at his place.

"Don't misunderstand, Jian Ai and I are completely innocent."

"Really?"

Gu Jia looked at him with amusement.

Lin Fan sensed something was wrong.

He might have failed to show off, Gu Jia probably knew something.

"You don't believe me?"

"Hehe... you're not being honest."

"You know what?"

Gu Jia paused for a moment and decided not to tease Lin Fan anymore: "You should have realized that our houses aren't soundproof."

Lin Fan instantly understood, Gu Jia had heard everything.

Then he was acting so solemnly, trying to clarify his relationship with Jian Ai, it was a slap in the face.

"Ahem... we really are just pure friends, but you know, people... have needs sometimes."

Gu Jia raised her hand to stop him from continuing: "No need to explain, we're just neighbors, how you live your private life is your right, I have no right to interfere."

Lin Fan accepted it calmly, since Gu Jia knew everything, he didn't think there was anything wrong, he even joked back: "Then you guys have to be quieter in the future, otherwise I can hear everything clearly."

Gu Jia's face turned slightly red: "Don't talk about this."

"Okay... I'll be more careful in the future."

"Oh!"

After eating, they walked out of the restaurant, Gu Jia said: "You can go to the company this afternoon, I'll take a taxi back."

"I don't need to go, nothing much is going on."

"Really?"

"Of course, get in the car!"

Soon they arrived at Junyue Mansion. Gu Jia opened the door and was about to go in, Lin Fan stood behind her: "Can I go to your place for a while?"

Gu Jia turned around, smiling and shaking her head: "Thank you for your help today, but my husband is not home now, it's not convenient for you to visit, I'm a good wife."

What do you mean?

I just wanted to sit down for a while.

Watching Gu Jia close the door, Lin Fan turned around and went home.

It must be Jian Ai and his relationship that has made Gu Jia doubt his pure character.

But he's not in a hurry.

They're neighbors from now on, Gu Jia will need him in the future.

As for the soundproofing problem of the house.

Lin Fan waved his hand and set up a barrier in the house.

From now on, even if Jian Ai screams her lungs out, Gu Jia will absolutely not hear anything, while he can still hear anything that happens at Gu Jia's place.
