After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

"Mr. Xiao, I put the medicine here."

Xiao Yun glanced at the words on the medicine box, his eyes paused for a moment, and then he looked away: "Hmm."

In the bathroom, Shen Lan looked at the red marks all over her body, her cheeks flushed.

This Xiao Yun is simply a dog. He kisses and bites her, even the inside of her thighs. She is not a piece of meat.

Since she was not in her own room, Shen Lan took a quick shower and came out wrapped in a bath towel.

Her hair was wet and scattered behind her, with some strands stuck to the sides of her face. Her red lips were slightly swollen, her eyes were charming, and her cheeks were flushed. She looked like a ripe fruit, as if water would come out if pinched.

Seeing her clothes and powder on the bedside table, Shen Lan's eyes fixed.

"Mr. Xiao, there's something..."

Xiao Yun interrupted her: "Call my name, this is not in the company."

Shen Lan didn't want to dwell on this, so he changed the subject: "Xiao Yan, there's something I want to ask you... Did you already know that I was deliberately pretending to be ugly?"

Xiao Yun didn't deny it and nodded directly: "We'll know in the fake cave."

Shen Lan's eyes suddenly understood.

No wonder he went to such great lengths to get me from the Lu family. So that's how it is.

Shen Lan looked at him, and suddenly felt an indescribable disappointment in his heart.

She blinked, suppressed the inexplicable emotion in her heart, picked up the clothes on the bedside table and prepared to put them on.

Seeing Xiao Yun looking at him, Shen Lan paused: "Why don't you step aside?"

Xiao Yun, wearing a bathrobe with loose ties, sat on the sofa, looking at her leisurely, his tone leisurely: "What are you avoiding? Is there anything on your body that I haven't seen, touched, or kissed?"

Shen Lan's face suddenly turned red and felt hot.

She took her clothes to the bathroom and changed into her skirt as quickly as she could.

When he came out again, he was already dressed neatly, and there was undisguised disappointment in Xiao Yun's eyes.

Shen Lan pretended not to see it, picked up the powder on the table and rubbed it on her skin. Her snow-white skin was gradually covered by the dark yellow powder.

Xiao Yun frowned and suddenly said, "Actually, if you showed your true appearance in front of Lu Yunfan, he wouldn't be so repulsed by you."

"If you're hiding from the enemy who killed your parents, then there's no need. You've been in the Lu family for so many years, everyone knows your background, yet you're still alive and well. Since your life isn't in danger, there's no need to hide your appearance."

This dark yellow powder applied on the snow-white and transparent skin really gives the feeling of pearls covered with dust.

Shen Lan paused in applying powder, lowered her eyelashes, and remained silent for a long time.

When Xiao Yun thought she would not answer, Shen Lan suddenly spoke.

"It's normal for a man like Mr. Xiao, a child of destiny, not to understand the pain of living under someone else's roof."

Her tone was calm, and her smile was faint. "I was only 7 years old when I was fostered in the Lu family. My parents were dead, my brother was missing, and my family was bankrupt. In my situation, living under someone else's roof is not only about being at the mercy of others, but everything I have, my future, even my life, is in the hands of the Lu family."

Perhaps it was because the two of them had had close contact, or perhaps it was because Xiao Yun knew too many of her secrets, but when he asked, Shen Lan suddenly wanted to confide in him.

The secret that had been suppressed in her heart for nearly ten years was almost suffocating her.

"When I was fifteen, I went to the study to serve tea and overheard Tao Lan talking to Uncle Lu. Tao Lan despised me for being an orphan and the Shen family's bankruptcy. She felt I wasn't worthy of her precious son and wanted to break off the engagement."

Shen Lan's face was pale, and her lips trembled slightly: "I don't have to marry Lu Yunfan. If they want to break off the engagement, as long as they tell me nicely, I will agree. But they..."

Xiao Yun's expression changed slightly: "What did you hear?"

"I heard Tao Lan discussing with Uncle Lu about giving me to Zhang Qi."

When Xiao Yun heard the word "Zhang Qi", his brows turned cold and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

Zhang Qi is the head of the Zhang family and is as notorious in the circle as Wu Wei.

The difference is that Wu Wei is not picky about food or drink and can seduce any woman, while Zhang Qi is more picky.

He only likes girls aged fourteen or fifteen, is very picky about appearance and figure, and has a perverted tendency in sex.

In order to reach a cooperation with him, many companies would cater to his preferences and select girls to send to his bed.

It would have been fine if Tao Lan wanted to break off the engagement, but she actually wanted to use Shen Lan as a trading tool and give her to an old man who could be her father to play with.

Shen Lan took a deep breath, suppressed the chill in his heart, and smiled calmly: "So from then on, I concealed my appearance little by little, and finally became like this."

Xiao Yun stood up, walked over and patted her on the head: "If you can't laugh, you don't have to laugh."

His voice was very low, like crushed ice, but it warmed people's hearts.

Shen Lan's eyes were slightly moist, and just as her emotions were brewing, she heard Xiao Yun say, "Take the contraceptive pills on the table."
