Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Yan Lan was about to send a message to Qin Shi.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside. It was Mrs. Qin.

Her heart suddenly tightened, and in panic, her eyes quickly swept to the glaring divorce agreement on the table.

Almost like a conditioned reflex, Yan Lan quickly reached out and grabbed it, and hurriedly stuffed it into the drawer.

In this family, Mrs. Qin cared for her very much. She was her closest elder and the person she least wanted to hurt.

The marriage crisis between her and Qin Shi was like a heavy stone weighing on her heart.

Yan Lan thought to himself that he would wait until Mrs. Qin recovered completely and then find a suitable time to confess. Perhaps then the damage could be minimized.

"Lanlan, a gentleman named William is here to visit."

Mrs. Qin's voice came from outside the door, gentle and with a hint of doubt.

Yan Lan was slightly stunned. William?

Why did he come suddenly?

Countless questions suddenly popped up in my mind.

On the other side, Qin Shi returned to the villa exhausted.

He took a long stride, his steps eager and powerful. He had only one thought in his mind, to see Yan Lan as soon as possible, to explain the misunderstanding between him and Bai Xiaoyu, and to make her feel at ease.

But just as he took a few steps forward, his eyes inadvertently swept towards the lake not far ahead, and his steps suddenly stopped, and the blood in his body seemed to solidify instantly.

By the lake, the afterglow of the setting sun gently shone down, outlining two figures.

The tall man who was gently hugging Yan Lan was none other than William.

A breeze blew across the lake, creating ripples, but Qin Shi had no intention of appreciating it.

His originally bright mood was instantly shrouded in gloom, and the expression on his face became gloomy.

I just managed to drive Liu Jinnian away, so why is this William haunting me again?

An indescribable anger and jealousy surged in his heart, and his fists clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force.

At this moment, by the lake, William looked at Yan Lan with a guilty look on his face, his tone full of apology.

"Lan, I'm sorry I had to do that."

His eyes were full of helplessness.

It seems to be carrying a heavy burden.

Yan Lan shook her head and said softly,

"William, this is not your fault.

But I didn't expect that Yan Feng actually had such a network of connections."

Her voice was calm, but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

William came to say goodbye to Yan Lan.

He looked hurried, with anxiety in his eyes, and told Yan Lan that he had urgent matters to attend to and had to return home immediately.

But what shocked Yan Lan even more was that William brought bad news that Yan Xue was acquitted.

The moment Yan Lan heard the news, his expression changed.

Her already complicated mood became even heavier, as if a huge rock was pressing heavily on her chest.

Yan Xue planned everything, but Yan Lan and William sued her for defamation.

William's identity is quite influential internationally, and there are many complex forces involved behind it. This lawsuit made Yan Xue panic. She knew that she might not be able to escape this time, and the cold prison life seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

However, just when the case seemed to be a done deal, the situation suddenly changed.

For some reason, an important figure in China got involved in the matter and called William. After some negotiation, William had to make concessions and withdraw the accusation.

He was filled with resentment, but due to pressure from many sides, he was powerless and could only sigh inwardly.

As for Yan Lan, the police staff looked very businesslike. They downplayed the situation and said that it was just an ordinary family dispute because Yan Lan and Yan Xue were sisters, and asked them to mediate privately.

"Lan, someone has been following me recently, so I had to come to the villa to find you.

The security measures here are good.

Even so, you still have to pay attention to your own safety.”

William took the opportunity of hugging to whisper a few words into Yan Lan's ear.

This is what makes the hug between the two seem even more reluctant to part. In the eyes of outsiders, it looks like a pair of lovers parting by life and death.

Just as the two were hugging each other and saying goodbye, Qin Shi's gloomy voice was like a thunderclap, abruptly interrupting this warm scene.

"Mr. William, you hugged my wife in my place. Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this action?"

The voice came straight at me on the cold wind, carrying with it an unmistakable sense of oppression.

The next moment, Yan Lan felt her wrist tighten, and was suddenly pulled into a familiar and warm embrace by a strong hand.

Yan Lan's eyes widened in shock, her heart in her throat, and she struggled in panic.

When I came to my senses, I saw Qin Shi exuding a cold aura, like a lion whose territory had been invaded. The aura around him was so strong that people dared not look directly at him. He was confronting William.

His eyes burned with anger as he stared at William, as if warning him to stay away from his territory and his people immediately.

Mr. William also keenly smelled the strong hostility coming from the other party, as if he had smelled a signal of danger.

He spread his hands helplessly, made an innocent gesture, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a teasing smile on his face,

"Lan, your lover is jealous."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Yan Lan and Qin Shi retorted almost at the same time, their voices intertwined.

Yan Lan's cheeks flushed instantly, she felt embarrassed and annoyed. She lowered her head awkwardly, trying to avoid William's gaze, secretly blaming William for his inappropriate joke.

Qin Shi frowned, and his tone was a little unnatural and stiff, as if he was trying hard to hide his impulsive jealousy, but the hand that tightly grasped Yan Lan's shoulder revealed his inner concern.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry. I'm not here to snatch your person. I just want to say goodbye."

William then put away the slightly teasing smile on his face, his expression became serious and sincere, and a hint of calmness appeared in his eyes.

He turned slightly to the side, met Qin Shi's gaze, and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Mr. Qin, there have been continuous financial turmoil in the international arena recently. The situation is extremely turbulent and may very well trigger a global financial storm.

In such a volatile environment, everything is full of uncertainty."

William sighed slightly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and continued,

"I hope that when we meet again next time, you and I will both be safe and sound, and that our respective careers will be able to smoothly weather this crisis."

As he spoke, he extended his hand very gentlemanly and with an elegant gesture.

Qin Shi was slightly startled, the vigilance in his eyes faded a little, and the cold lines on his face softened a little.

He stretched out his hand and held William's hand. Their hands were firmly clasped together, conveying complex emotions, including respect for each other and a vague worry about the unknown future.

"Lan, I'll leave it to you to take care of."

William turned to look at Yan Lan, his eyes full of concern and reluctance, as if he was entrusting her with a most precious treasure.

After William left, Qin Shi cleared his throat and asked,

"Did you call this morning?"
