Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lan Xiu’s eyes were like stars. When he looked at Leng Xinran, his gaze was a little deep.
“I could have foreseen the outcome long ago, so I don’t feel much joy anymore,” Leng Xinran replied in a casual manner. Only then did she stand up slowly. She fixed her dress slightly and pulled on her sleeves. The scars on her arm were completely hidden.
“I’ve consulted the doctor. He said that the wound on your arm will fade. You don’t have to… Let’s make an appointment and go take a look, okay?” Lan Xiu asked.
Hearing this, Leng Xinran glanced at him. Her clear eyes softened a little. She did not reject his good intentions. “Yes, the wound is a little deep. I didn’t take it seriously before, and it has been like this ever since it got better. It’s still the same after a long time.”
“I don’t feel like you care about much either.”
Lan Xiu smiled and helped her pull on her slightly wrinkled skirt.
“My father and the others are already here?” Leng Xinran asked.
“Yes, I was just asking when you can go down. Now, you can greet the guests downstairs.”
This time, Lan Xiu and Leng Xinran did not invite many people to their engagement ceremony, but they only invited some people who were close to them, and some were also important guests.
“Let’s go then.”
“Okay.”
With that, Lan Xiu took her hand and walked out.
When the two of them arrived at the banquet hall, the master of ceremonies in front of them reported, and the hall instantly became quiet.
They were a matching couple!
Dongfang Liuyun, who was sitting at the side, fixed her gaze on the two people who were walking over. Her eyes were filled with faint blessings. After looking at them for a while, she finally could not help but turn and say to the man beside her, “This Leng Xinran is indeed cold and elegant, and Lan Xiu is such a gentle and gentle person. I now think that they’re really not bad.”
“It’s good that they take care of each other and love each other.”
Qi Lei reached out to help her pull her coat over her shoulders as he replied.
“Yes, I’m relieved that Lan Xiu can find himself a good ending. I went to look for him before. After all, it was quite sudden. After thinking about it, they’ve known each other for almost a year and have been getting along for more than half a year. This result is actually not bad.”
“You don’t have to worry too much. Next, you should take good care of the two little guys in your stomach. Look, they’re being naughty again. I wonder if they’re a boy or girl?”
When Qi Lei reached out to touch her belly under the table, the little thing in Dongfang Liuyun’s stomach seemed to have sensed something. It moved. Qi Lei felt it and his handsome face was full of smiles.
Dongfang Liuyun then lowered her gaze and looked at it. “I hope it’s as you think, that they’ll be twin sisters.”
“Yeah, it’s just this one pregnancy anyway. Two at once. The heavens are really looking out for us.”
…
Lan Xiu and Leng Xinran came to the stage in front and said a few words of gratitude. Then, the dance floor below began to continue.
Naturally, Lan Xiu and Leng Xinran had a perfect opening dance. Then, the guests continued…
When the engagement ceremony ended, it was already afternoon.
Leng Xinran looked a little tired, so Lan Xiu personally drove her home.
“Xinran, why don’t you move in with me? Now that we’re engaged and are fiancès, we don’t have to worry about gossip. I’m a little worried about you living here alone. I’ve already asked them to redecorate your room over there. They’re all in the style that you like. Also, it’s more convenient for us to communicate and get to know each other. What do you think?”
Seeing Leng Xinran leaning against the back of the chair with her eyes closed to rest, Lan Xiu thought for a moment and suggested the same thing.
Hearing this, Leng Xinran paused. She opened her eyes and looked at Lan Xiu. “Do you mean to live together?”
“Sort of, if you don’t mind.”
Lan Xiu thought for a moment and continued, “I know that we agreed to the engagement because we gave each other a chance. At the same time, we also left some leeway. But now that I think about it, this step isn’t really necessary. It’s been quite some time, and I know it in my heart that I’m completely sincere to you. It’s up to you, Xinran.”
After Lan Xiu said this, Leng Xinran did not reply for a long time.
“If you’re not happy with it, just pretend like I didn’t mention it.”
Seeing that she was frowning slightly, Lan Xiu could only smile.
“Okay.”
After he said this, Leng Xinran suddenly responded.
However, at this moment, Lan Xiu could not react in time, “What did you say?”
“I said yes,” Leng Xinran replied straightforwardly. “Your place is quite nice. It’s much better than mine. There’s no reason for me not to accept it. This weekend then, I can rest for the next two days too. I don’t have much stuff, I’ll just bring some books and clothes over.”
Leng Xinran was a practical person. Once the matter was decided, she would immediately make corresponding arrangements.
“Okay, I’ll help you on Saturday.”
A gentle smile flashed across Lan Xiu’s face as he smiled.
…
However, Leng Xinran obviously did not pick the right time. When she woke up on Saturday morning, it was raining heavily outside.
It was such a hot summer day. The weather was unpredictable, the sun was clearly so bright yesterday.
Leng Xinran rushed to pack up everything that needed to be packed the night before. There was a large number of books that Lan Xiu had asked Ah Li and the others to bring over yesterday. Today, it was just some clothes and some personal belongings.
Looking at the wind and rain crazily pounding on the glass windows outside, Leng Xinran thought that Lan Xiu would probably not come so early. Just as she was about to go to the study to process some data, she heard a knock on the door.
Leng Xinran hurriedly went to open the door.
Lan Xiu walked in. His clothes were already a little wet.
“Why did you rush here in such a heavy rain? It’s okay to come tomorrow if the weather was a little better.”
Leng Xinran frowned and sized him up. Her tone was a little reprimanding. “It’s easy to catch a cold in this weather. Dry yourself.”
As she spoke, she handed him a clean towel.
Lan Xiu took it and simply wiped the moisture on his face. He replied, “When I left the house, it wasn’t raining so heavily and I forgot to bring my umbrella. Do you still have breakfast?”
He had been busy until midnight last night. He did not have time to prepare supper and woke up a little late in the morning. He did not even have time to eat breakfast before rushing over, so he was very hungry now.
“You haven’t had breakfast yet?”
“Mmm.”
Leng Xinran took a deep breath and nodded. Her tone was very calm. “Then you should go and change your clothes first. You left a set of sweatshirts here in the cabinet on the top left of my closet. I’ll cook some noodles for you.”
After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen.
Lan Xiu saw her figure disappear from the kitchen door. He stood there for a while before he walked towards the cloakroom and changed out of his clothes.
