Old Master Lan"s words were like a baton hitting Lan Yanxi hard on her head, waking her up in an instant. She suddenly felt cold all over. If her grandfather hadn"t reminded her, she really wouldn"t have known that she was in such a dangerous situation.
That was the living expenses that her father had left her and her mother with. Although she did not directly manage the company, the monthly share of the profits that came to her account was not a small amount. That was why she was able to enjoy spending so much in these years.
Lan Yanxi"s grandfather doted on her as expected, and had even schemed this out for her. However, she was still conceited and pursued freedom and herself. Lan Yanxi suddenly felt that she was unfilial and unworthy of her grandfather"s good intentions.
Lan Yanxi let out a light breath. What happiness? What free love? Actually, they were both very far away from her. The first thing she had to do was to protect her life.
If she were to marry Ling Mofeng, her uncle would definitely not dare to have any ideas about the shares in her hands. She had the ability and money, so she could still lead a decent life.
"So it"s just a deal, and I"m still confident in myself. To think that I would think of the other party as a demon and hate to guard against it, what do I count as?" Lan Yanxi mocked herself. After she understood all of this, she decided to apologize to Ling Mofeng.
Lan Yanxi took a deep breath, walked to the door and opened it. Suddenly, they were stu
ed when they saw Ling Mofeng, who was about to knock on the door.
"You want to go out?" Ling Mofeng put down his hand that was frozen in midair and asked with a smile.
"Do you have any business with me?" Lan Yanxi"s voice was much calmer as well, and her beautiful eyes looked up as she asked this.
"Lunch is ready, I want to tell you to go down and eat!" Ling Mofeng said in a low voice.
"Oh, then let"s go!" Lan Yanxi"s expression was a little u
atural. Perhaps her mood had changed, causing her to have a good impression of Ling Mofeng. When she thought of the future that needed his help, she could no longer argue back.
Ling Mofeng squinted his eyes. Seeing that this woman wasn"t as arrogant as before, he also felt depressed.
"You"re not angry with me?" Ling Mofeng couldn"t help but be curious.
Lan Yanxi bit her lower lip and nodded. "I"ve thought it through. It"s useless to be angry at you. Since this is the result of the situation, I might as well get along with you."
"Did your grandfather tell you something?" Ling Mofeng was very smart, he obviously knew that her anger wouldn"t disappear so easily, someone must have said something to her.
Lan Yanxi"s face was red, Ling Mofeng"s eyes were really vicious, he could even see that.
"Yes, I called my grandpa. He said something to me that made me think it through!" Lan Yanxi nodded, not wanting to hide it from him.
"What did he tell you?" The two of them walked down the stairs side by side.
Lan Yanxi-mei puckered her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Ling Mofeng, do you know that I will marry you?"
"I don"t think so!" Ling Mofeng answered lightly.
"But you know where I am, don"t you?" Lan Yanxi halted her steps and looked up at him with a complicated expression.
Ling Mofeng Jun was startled, but he nodded: "I guess you know something, but it doesn"t prove anything. If you really don"t want to marry me, I can"t help but force you!"
"If... If I say that I will consider it, would you think that I am very sn.o.bbish? " Lan Yanxi lowered her gaze in shame, not daring to meet the man"s eyes. She felt that her previous actions were too willful and she did not pay attention to the big picture. This caused her grandfather to rack his brains a little.
"No, everyone has their own interests that they have to protect. Aren"t I the same as you? If you can think this through, we"ll each take what we need and maybe have a better time. " Ling Mofeng smiled faintly.
Lan Yanxi happened to raise her head and was slightly stu
ed when she saw the upturned corner of his mouth. Only then did she realize that his smile was actually so charming and good-looking.
"If you don"t mind my being too sn.o.bbish, I"ll try my best to get along with you." Lan Yanxi thought about her mother who had no power and influence in Lan Family. If it wasn"t for her grandfather"s pain, she probably would have been kicked out of Lan Family along with her mother.
"You actually know the situation clearly. Worthy of being the daughter of Lan Family!" Ling Mofeng knew about Lan Family"s situation and had really worried about her before. Now, it seemed that this woman was still very clear about the situation and was a sensible person.
"I was born in the Lan Family, so I have seen many things. The reason I don"t mind is because I don"t like it, but that doesn"t mean I don"t want to care about it. Lan Yanxi sighed lightly and started to mock herself.
"To know the wisdom of the world but not the wisdom of the world, your cultivation is not bad!" Ling Mofeng rarely gave her any praise or affirmation.
"Don"t tease me. In front of you, I"m afraid I can"t hide my true feelings. You"re the one with the best eyes." Lan Yanxi did not dare to show off in front of Ling Mofeng.
"Alright, why do you make me seem so scary?" Ling Mofeng didn"t dare to say anything.
Lan Yanxi lowered her head and smiled, a little embarra.s.sed. "It was only after getting along with you that I realized you weren"t scary after all."
"Don"t be so na?ve. Even if I become your husband in the future, we will still be trading partners. It"s better for you to guard against me, lest you cry and make me cry." Ling Mofeng joked.
Hearing the word "husband", Lan Yanxi"s face turned red.
Perhaps this unfamiliar word would become so much more familiar from now on.
The two of them went downstairs and found a table with a delicious lunch on it. They sat across from each other.
Lan Yanxi lowered her head as she ate silently, her heart at peace.
Ling Mofeng also ate slowly. He looked very elegant, and his every gesture was filled with elegance.
"We still have another tough battle to fight." Ling Mofeng suddenly said.
"What kind of battle?" Lan Yanxi had a surprised expression on her face.
"Do you think your two uncles will let you marry me so victoriously?" Ling Mofeng mocked.
Lan Yanxi"s body stiffened. A cold feeling rose from her back as she said in confusion, "But, I"ve already escaped for so many days, and they haven"t done anything to me?"
"That"s because you"re ru
ing away from the marriage. They felt that you weren"t willing to marry me, so of course they were happy to see it happen. But now, when they know that you"re already with me, do you think they can still sit?" A light flashed across Ling Mofeng"s eyes. He felt that he had successfully erected two enemies. Moreover, it was all because of this woman in front of him.
"Then... What will they do to me? " Lan Yanxi immediately tensed up and took a sip of water.
"Either I kill you and take over your shares, or ?? to interfere with our emotional development! " Ling Mofeng said casually.
