Shen Lan looked at him through the large glasses, and seeing the nervousness in his eyes, she sarcastically said, "Hmm."

As soon as this word came out, Lu Yunfan's face changed drastically.

Shen Lan changed the subject: "But I accidentally fell at the entrance of the garden and my clothes got dirty, so I went back to my room to change."

Lu Yunfan looked at the dress she was wearing and found that it was indeed not the same one. He breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone was impatient.

"Don't run around if you have nothing to do. There are many guests here. You don't know anything. What if you offend the guests?"

There was subconscious contempt in his tone, and he didn't care whether she was hurt or not. Shen Lan felt upset.

Lu's mother, Tao Lan, looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's Xiao Yun? Why can't I find him anywhere? Did he leave early?"

As soon as this name came out, Shen Lan felt a burning sensation in her ears, and there was an unignorable burning sensation wherever he had kissed her.

"I, I just saw him go over there."

Shen Lan deliberately pointed in the opposite direction of the back garden. Tao Lan's eyes lit up and she quickly pulled Lu Yunqing and whispered a few words in her ear.

Lu Yunqing's cheeks became redder and redder, revealing a hint of shyness: "Okay, I'll go alone. Mom, you help me keep watch and don't let anyone come and ruin my good thing."

After finishing her hair, she lifted her skirt and ran excitedly in the direction Shen Lan pointed.

Shen Lan looked at her back, thought of Xiao Yun's abnormal body temperature, and suddenly realized something. He looked at Tao Lan in surprise.

Tao Lan was thinking about her daughter and didn't notice her look. She hurried to guard the door.

Seeing that she was staring at her mother, Lu Yunfan frowned and said in a cold voice, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lan quickly retracted his gaze and shook his head: "Nothing."

It would do her no good to talk about this.

Seeing her dull and rigid look, Lu Yunfan felt annoyed and tugged at his tie, revealing a small part of his collarbone, with a bright red mark on it.

Shen Lan couldn't help herself and suddenly reached out to grab his sleeve, asking in a hoarse voice, "Lu Yunfan, why is there a hickey on your collarbone?"

Lu Yunfan was startled and looked down, and sure enough, he saw a large red mark on his collarbone, extending all the way to his chest.

Damn it, he had already told Zhou Xinran not to leave any traces, but he still neglected it.

"What hickey? What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Yunfan buttoned up his shirt and frowned perfunctorily, "It's just a mosquito bite."

"You said this was a mosquito bite?" Shen Lan felt it was ridiculous when he said this. Did he think she was a fool? How could he not tell the difference between a mosquito bite and a kiss mark?

"The back garden is lush with vegetation, so isn't it normal to have a lot of mosquitoes?" Lu Yunfan said, his ruthless eyes looking at her, his tone frivolous and humiliating: "You said it was a hickey right away, what? Are you very experienced?"

Shen Lan looked at the man she had taken care of for four years, and felt that the softest part of her heart was already bloody.

"Lu Yunfan, you can't do this to me. I've given so much for you..."

"Are you trying to use your kindness to kidnap me again?" Lu Yunfan interrupted her and sneered, "Don't you just want to marry me? I've already agreed to be engaged to you. What else do you want? Do you want me to love you?"

He couldn't help laughing as he spoke, his eyes growing colder: "Don't you have any idea? How could I possibly love you!"

"The person I've always liked is Xinran. If you hadn't taken advantage of the situation four years ago and swooped in like a fly that couldn't be driven away, do you think you would have gotten this position?"

"Now that you have what you want, stay in this position and don't dream of anything else, and don't ask about my personal affairs."

This was the longest speech Lu Yunfan had ever said to her in the past four years, but every word was full of humiliation.

Shen Lan originally thought that his heart had been hurt to the point of numbness, but after hearing these words, he still felt a dull pain.

She gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling: "Lu Yunfan, I'm not a shameless person. If you don't want to get engaged, you can bring it up now. The good news hasn't been announced yet, so there's still time for everything."

Lu Yunfan looked at her tears and felt inexplicably annoyed. "Shen Lan, have you learned to play hard to get? You know very well that this engagement is inevitable. If I propose to cancel the engagement, others will only say that my Lu family is untrustworthy and ungrateful."

"You look dull, but you're actually quite scheming." Lu Yunfan warned, "I advise you to be quiet and wait for the banquet to end. Don't try to do anything tricky to me... Do you still want to find your brother?"

The last sentence hit her sore spot.

Shen Lan cannot leave the Lu family. She is now weak and alone, and has to rely on the Lu family for revenge and use the Lu family's network of connections to find her brother.

She watched Lu Yunfan leave, and the gentle and kind boy in her memory seemed to disappear little by little.

"Why are you crying? If you don't kick this scumbag out, are you still keeping him for the New Year?"

A slightly sarcastic male voice came from my ear.

Shen Lan turned her head and saw an extremely handsome face. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and returned to her usual dull and cold attitude: "Boss Xiao."

Xiao Yun took a step closer and smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and he relaxed completely.

His eyebrows moved, and he suddenly said: "Shen Lan, why don't you follow me? I will help you pay back all the grievances you have suffered in the Lu family."
