Looking at this happy family of four, the mother is gentle and doting, the father is steady and dignified, and the gentleness in his eyes is so obvious when he mentions the child named Shuyi.

Yi An felt an indescribable sadness rolling up from the bottom of his heart and rushing to his throat. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, as if he was mocking something.

There was a layer of sadness in his eyes, but in just a moment, he returned to calm.

He pulled back the hand that was still held by Lan Zhuochi, lowered his eyes and stood behind Shen Xingzhou.

Lan Zhuochi was slightly stunned. For some reason, he seemed to empathize with the emotional ups and downs of this man named Yi An. He also saw the sadness in his eyes.

He looked at Shen Xingzhou at a loss, "Old Shen,"

Shen Xingzhou leaned over and patted his head gently, "Little brat, you need to watch more and talk less about many things. You should grow up."

He straightened up and smiled at Lan Zhuojing: "Goodbye, kid."

Lan Zhuojing nodded, "Comrade Shen should come often and treat the Lan family as your own home in the future."

Yu Wenwen also walked forward with a smile, politely thanked and said goodbye.

Lan Shuyin, who was standing behind Lan Zhuojing, kept her gaze vaguely on Shen Xingzhou.

When he turned to leave, she also stood out from behind Lan Zhuojing, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to pick up my brother."

Lan Zhuojing and Yu Wenwen didn't think much about it, but just told her to be careful.

When preparing to go home, Lan Zhuojing realized that Lan Zhuochi had been keeping his head down and had not spoken. The thick-skinned Lan Zhuojing thought that he was reluctant to leave Chen Xingzhou, so he consoled him, "We'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

Lan Zhuochi subconsciously said "hmm".

But he never raised his head, and I don’t know what he was thinking.

Walking to the front of the car, Shen Xingzhou pulled the uneasy Yi An and said, "I'll drive."

In his current state, he might drive into a ditch.

After the car drove for a while, Yi An asked, "What's the point of doing this?"

Shen Xingzhou smiled faintly, "Why? You don't want to meet?"

Yi An's expression was slightly frozen, and his eyes were dim and difficult to read.

Feeling very suffocated and having difficulty breathing, he took off his mask, opened the window a crack, leaned his head against the window, and looked out with lifeless eyes.

Shen Xingzhou rarely showed a trace of sympathy. He asked, "Is your decision still the same?"

Yi An still looked out the window. He whispered, "Maybe I'm wrong. I think that girl looks a lot like...that woman."

Shen Xingzhou sneered: "If you want to think so, then it's up to you."

Saying this was just deceiving himself. He was so similar to Lan Zhuojing, but he still chose to escape. There was no need for him to say too much.

Just after driving out of a street, he saw the car still following closely behind him, a cold light flashed in Shen Xingzhou's eyes, and he sped up and turned a corner in front.

Lan Shuyin saw the car in front speed up and suddenly became anxious. She yelled at the driver: "Drive faster, don't lose us."

The driver stepped on the accelerator and turned the corner. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a car parked not far ahead.

Lan Shuyin chuckled and motioned the driver to drive over. She got out of the car not far from the car in front. As she approached, the car window slowly lowered. The man casually put his arm on the window, with a red bead string wrapped around his wrist.

In the flickering shadows, the light danced on his handsome face, making him look particularly elegant.

Shen Xingzhou tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, "What's the matter?"

His face was full of coldness.

Lan Shuyin met the man's gaze, a little stunned and a little timid, but when she saw his bewitching face, she forced a smile and said, "I am the only lady of the Lan family."

The corners of Shen Xingzhou's mouth curved into a slightly sarcastic arc, "Really?"

"So what?"

It's not that she didn't notice his sarcasm, but his smile was so beautiful that she subconsciously ignored the question and asked, "Do you have a partner?"

Seeing her pretending to be indifferent, Shen Xingzhou just felt disgusted and said lazily:

"have,"

Lan Shuyin frowned slightly, and then a proud look flashed in her eyes, "You have an extraordinary temperament, how can an ordinary woman be worthy of you?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Shen Xingzhou's eyes, but she continued as if she hadn't heard him: "If you want to go further, I can help you."

Chen Xingzhou pulled his thin lips and sneered coldly: "Why do you help me?"

Lan Shuyin secretly pinched her palms, barely calmed down, and raised her chin slightly: "As the only girl in the Lan family, I have been spoiled since childhood. As long as I want something, there is nothing I can't get. If you marry me, I will help you rise to the top."

Shen Xingzhou was shocked by her ugliness. It seemed that this so-called Miss Lan was indeed spoiled. What she said was stupid and ignorant.

He hooked his finger at her as she came closer.

"Well...."

She was dazed by his smile for a moment, and her neck was strangled tightly, with such intense force that it became increasingly difficult for her to breathe.

Chen Xingzhou spoke word by word with his thin lips, ruthlessly and coldly: "You are really disgusting..."

At this moment, their eyes met, and Lan Shuyin truly felt Shen Xingzhou's murderous intent.

As the force continued to increase, she revealed a mask of pain, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.

However, this was not enough to soften Shen Xingzhou's heart. His eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a very dirty object.

"Remember, next time you see me, take a detour,"

After saying that, he let go.

“Ahem…”

Having lost her footing, Lan Shuyin fell to the ground powerlessly, her face flushed and she started coughing violently.
