Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was the att.i.tude of Lan Xiu, but he also did not know that his so-called go with the flow nature could in fact not escape fate. Who said that one would continue to suffer for not getting their loved one?
If you opened your heart, and tried to accept a new beginning, you will find that you would not find yourself always only loving that one person.
When you meet the right person, the stubbornness in your heart will be put aside.
The first time he met Leng Xinran was in a simple and quiet restaurant in the north of the city.
She looked very quiet and did not like to talk.
She had a delicate and fair face, and her black hair fell behind her head like a waterfall. She was dressed in gray casual clothes. She looked very thin, but in fact, she was a rare beauty. However, she looked like a very low-key and thrifty person, she did not accessories too much.
From Ah Li, he knew that Leng Xinran was a bit of a loner. She did not like to talk and always kept to herself. Her parents were divorced, and the only child of the Leng family was a gravekeeper. At the same time, she would occasionally do some things that an undertaker should do.
From her appearance, he knew that she was a very indifferent person. However, seeing her like this, he could not imagine that she would actually do these things.
When Lan Xiu first saw her, he immediately thought of eight words—
Indifferent like the wind, quiet like deep currents.
From her, one could feel that she was independent from the mortal world in her purity and indifference, he was not sure if it was because of her occupation.
She sat down and only said one word from the start to end—
Mmm.
More than 10 minutes had pa.s.sed. She only glanced at Lan Xiu indifferently. She seemed a little numb.
“h.e.l.lo, Miss Leng. I’m Lan Xiu.”
Lan Xiu stopped sizing her up and started to introduce himself.
“I’ve heard of you, let’s order first,” Leng Xinran finally said this. She handed a menu to Lan Xiu.
Lan Xiu glanced at her and quickly took the menu. Leng Xinran had already ordered, and Lan Xiu also ordered a steak.
“Mr. Lan, you should know about my situation.”
Leng Xinran looked down at the gla.s.s of water in her hand. Her cold voice was emotional and pleasant to listen to.
Lan Xiu looked at her quietly. There was no emotion on her elegant face, but her voice was calm.
“President Leng said that we are very suitable. I decided to come and take a look.”
Lan Xiu did not hide anything.
Hearing this, a cold light appeared in Leng Xinran’s eyes, but it was fleeting.
“What benefits did you give him?” Leng Xinran asked indifferently and lowered her head to take a sip of water.
“Regarding the partnership project, Mr. Leng and I are old friends. He hopes that we can have a deeper relationship, and it will be very beneficial for the partnership.”
“Didn’t he tell you that I’m against marriage?”
When Leng Xinran said this, she raised her eyes and looked at Lan Xiu. Her eyes were as cold as the cold stars and as silent as the ocean in the silent night.
“Mr. Leng didn’t say,” Lan Xiu replied honestly.
“I’m a mortician. I specialize in putting makeup on the dead. I’m also a grave keeper. I have a strong yin energy. I have a tough fate. In the eyes of others, I’m a very ominous person, aren’t you afraid?” Leng Xinran asked.
Lan Xiu’s pupils shrank slightly as he looked at her indifferently. “Is this the reason why you’re single to this day?”
Leng Xinran was silent for a moment. “Marriage is a burden to many people. I’m one of them.”
“Some people say that those who are afraid of marriage are mostly afraid of having to bear the responsibility, or that the person they’re with wouldn’t meet their requirements, or that they’re afraid of losing their freedom. Which one are you, Miss Leng?” Lan Xiu asked.
“What about you?” Leng Xinran asked back, her eyes as bright as the stars.
Hearing this, Lan Xiu paused for a moment, and his eyes fell silent.
Leng Xinran saw his reaction and seemed to understand it, but she did not continue to ask.
The two of them remained silent until the waiter brought the food over. They also ate their food at a leisurely pace.
Halfway through the meal, Leng Xinran’s cell phone suddenly rang. She quickly picked it up—
“Okay, you can come to the cemetery directly later. I’ll be there.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Leng Xinran looked up at Lan Xiu. For some reason, she could faintly sense a faint sense of melancholy surrounding this man.
“I know that you didn’t come here today out of your own intentions, and neither did I. If you can accept a contract marriage, I don’t mind. Otherwise, I’ll pretend that I never said anything.”
As Leng Xinran spoke, she slowly stood up. “I’ll be leaving first. After thinking it through, you can look for me at Jing An Cemetery.”
After saying this, Leng Xinran left.
Lan Xiu did not stop her. He only silently felt her figure pa.s.s by him.
“Why?” Lan Xiu asked.
Leng Xinran stopped in her tracks. She did not look back at him. After thinking for a moment, she replied, “The reasons you listed are all my answers. Moreover, I’m not a good woman. Not only am I selfish, but I’m also materialistic. These are all reasons. Take a look and pick one that you’re satisfied with.”
Lan Xiu had never expected Leng Xin to answer in such a way.
Selfish?
How could a person who was willing to give up her ident.i.ty as the eldest daughter of the Leng family to be a grave keeper and dress casually low-key be a materialistic and selfish person?
Interesting!
Lan Xiu narrowed his eyes as he watched Leng Xinran’s figure slowly disappear at the door. However, there was some doubt in his eyes.
It had to be said that this Miss Leng’s life did not seem to fit in with his. He did not sense any worldly aura from her. Even the indifferent Liuyun could not avoid it.
Strange, indifferent!
Lan Xiu gave Leng Xnran such an evaluation from the bottom of his heart.
She was definitely not someone to please. No wonder Mr. Leng’s eyes were filled with helplessness when he mentioned her back then.
It was said that Leng Xinran’s mother was a very authoritative female medical examiner. She was also an extremely cold and unreasonable person. Leng Xinran’s father could not warm her up even after more than 10 years. During the divorce, Leng Xinran’s mother left the family with nothing. She did not even shed a single tear. She left very frankly.
Ah Li did his best to gather all the information for him to hear. Therefore, he had a clearer understanding of Leng Xinran’s background.
“President Lan, how is it? Is Miss Leng okay?”
As soon as Lan Xiu walked out of the restaurant, Ah Li, who had been waiting by the car for a long time, immediately went forward and asked with concern.
Lan Xiu looked up thoughtfully at the empty road in front of him. He did not answer and quietly sat in the car.
