While brus.h.i.+ng her teeth, Lan Yanxi peeked out. Looking at the tall figure"s back, she felt extremely sweet in her heart.
Ling Mofeng went downstairs and adjusted his tie. He didn"t know if it was because of the warmth of spring or because the heat in his body hadn"t subsided yet.
The pretty face that she had revealed while hiding under the blanket was like a little fox demon. With her ignorance and ignorance of this world, she had inadvertently stolen the heart of a man.
Ling Mofeng lowered his head and smiled.
Lan Yanxi packed herself up and was just about to go downstairs when she felt her body heat up, causing her beautiful eyes to instantly widen in shock.
It can"t be, he actually came so punctually?
Lan Yanxi was on the verge of going crazy. She rushed back to the bathroom to check. Sure enough, not one more day had gone by and it had made her go crazy on time. Why couldn"t she push it off for two or three days? She"s getting engaged tomorrow.
Lan Yanxi had no choice but to settle the matter first. She then lowered her head and sighed, walking downstairs.
It seemed like Ling Mofeng didn"t have time to make her a complicated breakfast today. He only made her a bowl of oatmeal, baked her two slices of bread, and warmed her milk to eat.
"What"s wrong? So early in the morning and so lacking in spirit? " Ling Mofeng was very concerned about her every move and every frown and smile. He couldn"t help but ask when he saw her lowered eyes.
"Ling Mofeng, if I ruin your mood by getting engaged tomorrow, will you be angry?" Lan Yanxi clearly remembered the words that he had whispered in her ear last night, those words that made her face red and her heart beat faster.
He was filled with antic.i.p.ation, but he himself was going to disappoint him.
"Why do you ask?" The man"s handsome eyes widened in surprise. He didn"t quite understand what she meant.
"The biology of men and women are different. We women have those days every month." Lan Yanxi sighed.
Ling Mofeng was embarra.s.sed. He smiled and comforted her, "It"s fine. We just need to wait a few more days."
Lan Yanxi screamed in her heart. She didn"t want to wait any longer.
After breakfast, Lan Yanxi went to the office in Ling Mofeng"s car. At noon, when she was having lunch in the cafeteria, she heard someone chatting behind her. It was actually about Lan Xianxian.
Lan Yanxi immediately listened attentively and heard one of them say, "Lan Xianxian"s sister is here to take care of her resignation. I heard that Lan Xianxian is sick."
"It can"t be. What"s wrong with her? It"s so serious, and she still needs her sister to help her resign." The other man was surprised.
However, in her heart, Lan Yanxi sneered. Lan Xianxian couldn"t be afraid that Ling Mofeng would target her, right?
After Lan Yanxi ate, she went back to her office for lunch break.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure outside the door. It was her little cousin Lan Lin.
Lan Yanxi"s relations.h.i.+p with her cousin was average. However, she wasn"t like Lan Xianxian, who would come for trouble, and Lan Yanxi didn"t hate her.
"Xiao Lin, why are you here?" When Lan Yanxi saw her peek in, she took the initiative to walk towards her.
Lan Lin immediately revealed a cute smile, "Sis, your office s.p.a.ce is really luxurious. It"s just like how I imagined it would be."
"It"s alright, the office atmosphere here is rather strict." Lan Yanxi said lightly.
"Sister, I came to complete the resigning procedure for Sister Fibre. I thought it would be very difficult, but I didn"t expect it to be signed so soon." Lan Lin had a happy expression on her face.
"What happened to her?" Lan Yanxi asked indifferently.
"She"s getting engaged to Li Changsheng in two days. Grandpa got so angry yesterday." Li Lin looked shocked.
"What"s going on?" Lan Yanxi still didn"t know that her Lan Family had caused a ruckus yesterday, but now that she heard what Lan Lin said, her expression changed greatly.
"Yesterday, after Ouyang Xuan left, Cousin Fixation took the initiative to go over to Grandfather"s place and admit her wrongs. Grandfather was definitely very angry, he scolded her for a while, and then called Uncle and Aunt over. Grandfather immediately said that he wanted to marry Big Sister Fixture into the Li Family, and Uncle also agreed. This time, she"s done for, Yanxi Sis, in the future, when you return to Lan Family, don"t be angry at her." Lan Lin had a look of relief on her face.
Lan Yanxi was secretly shocked. Lan Xianxian actually took the initiative to admit her mistake?
It was hard to believe that such a prideful and conceited woman like her would recognize her mistake.
Big sister Yanxi, you are getting engaged yesterday, congratulations, you and your brother-in-law are really compatible, I think big sister Jian Jian really did the wrong thing. Before this, I kept trying to persuade her not to hurt your relations.h.i.+p, but she just wouldn"t listen and even scolded me. Lan Lin lowered her head, looking sad and remorseful.
Lan Yanxi"s gaze swept across her face. She realized that she couldn"t see through this little cousin of hers. She was obviously only nineteen years old, but why did she feel as deep as a well, as pitch black? Who knows what kind of face was hiding in the deepest part of her body.
"Xiao Lin, you don"t need to apologize to me." Lan Yanxi let out a faint laugh.
"No, I actually have always been following Sister Jian, and I know that she has done a lot of wrong, and I also know that she has deliberately caused trouble for you every time, and bullied you, but I can only stand by the side and watch, not daring to speak for you, not daring to offend her, my cowardice, has caused you to suffer a lot of grievances. Now, I finally clearly see the true face of Sister Jian"s, her selfishness and willfulness doesn"t only hurt you, but also me, Yanxi jie, will we become strangers?" Lan Lin"s eyes were watery as she blinked at Lan Yanxi, looking worried and uneasy.
Lan Yanxi frowned and laughed, "Why are you telling me this? We are cousins. We will not change. We need to manage the relations.h.i.+p properly."
Sister Yanxi, you"re right. I"ve thought about it, and regret that I couldn"t help you back then. However, I won"t be afraid of you anymore. She"s going to get married soon, so she can"t threaten me anymore." Lan Lin revealed a happy expression. She had a cute baby face and a smile, giving off a pure and unscheming look. She was rather likeable.
"Since you have settled your matters, you can go back now." Lan Yanxi suddenly didn"t like to chat with this little cousin of hers. She always felt that she had a purpose and wanted to draw a clear line between her and Lan Xianxian at this moment.
Isn"t this kind of gra.s.s?
The fence-sitter.
Of course, Lan Yanxi wouldn"t say it out in front of everyone. She only felt it. No matter if it was before or in the future, her att.i.tude towards Lan Lin would never be cold or warm.
She got someone who looked close to her, and the sharper the knife, the more flesh she felt.
In the future, she would only be friends with the people she liked, the people she loved with the light in her heart. As for those people she could not see through, she gave up trying to understand them, because life was too short and there was no need to waste time on guessing people"s hearts.
Lan Lin smiled and nodded. "Alright, then I"ll leave first. If you have time in the future, come home and play."
Lan Yanxi looked at her back and sighed, her heart in a mess.
Lan Lin walked out of the office and looked up at the grand building.
What she wanted, was the entire Lan Family. She had put on a pitiful act just so that one day, she would waste all her successors and become the last successor of the Lan Family.
Lan Xianxian had been hiding in her room for a whole day and night, refusing to drink a single drop of water. She cried her tears out as she lay on her bed, drowsy. Watching the sky brighten and darken outside her window, she felt a terrible loneliness.
Finally, she opened the door and saw her mother, also red-eyed.
"Mom, does Daddy really want me to marry?" Lan Xianxian"s voice was hoa.r.s.e and haggard.
Second Madam Lan nodded: "Yes, your father is determined to marry you to the Li Family. How about, you agree to it."
"Mom, is it possible that in the end, all daughters are sold? I thought I would be a different person, because Dad and you both doted on me and loved me so much, and I thought I would marry the man I loved. " Lan Xianxian looked sorrowfully at her mother. There was not a trace of light in her eyes. It was as if her life had turned dark.
You have to learn how to take responsibility. Mom and Dad love you, but maybe it"s because we spoiled you too much and spoiled you too badly, so you can"t tell what"s important. If you didn"t make your grandpa angry today, or offend Ling Mofeng and Lan Yanxi, you can still choose the path you want to take, but you took the wrong step. Second Madam Lan didn"t sleep last night, so she chatted with her husband for the better part of the night. Only then did she find out the stakes involved.
"I admit that I was wrong, but I don"t have the chance to change it?" Lan Xianxian"s pride and arrogance had been worn away. In just one night, she had gone from being a teenager who did nothing better and acted rashly, to a woman who had been tormented and lost all of her will. She hated and resented all of them, but all of these had taught her to compromise with life.
The person who had doted on her in the past had now agreed to let her marry a man she didn"t love. Lan Xianxian had lost her ability to rely on, as well as her confidence.
"Sisi, there are some things Mom doesn"t want to tell you too clearly. You just need to know, if Mom and Dad aren"t desperate, they won"t let you get married." Second Madam Lan continued to cry, crying as he spoke sorrowfully.
Lan Xianxian suddenly laughed like a madman. Her laughter caused her stomach to ache. She bent down with both hands on her knees, but she could not stop her laughter. She was like a lunatic, a lunatic.
"Sisi, don"t be like this. Mommy is scared." Second Madam Lan was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly tried to support her arms.
"Mom, I understand, I"ll marry, I can"t marry the man I love, whoever I marry will be different, my nature will be bad, once I marry into the Li family, I"ll only be worse. Mom, I understand, I"ll marry, I won"t be able to marry the man I love, whoever I marry will be different, my nature will be bad, if I marry into the Li family, I"ll be even worse if I marry into the Li family. Lan Xianxian stopped laughing, but said it with a fierce tone.
"Sisi, you, don"t be like this. It"s boring." Second Madam Lan frowned and advised her as if her daughter was a demon.
"Interesting, why would it be boring? When I get married, my life will be even more interesting. " After Lan Xianxian finished speaking, she turned around and slammed the door shut. The Second Madam Lan was stu
