...

"I don't have any better options."

That one sentence kept Zhou Sheng silent the whole way.

Knowing full well that Yan Can was all alone and helpless, knowing full well how unsatisfactory her life had been, he still said those things.

He deserves to die!

As they approached the Lanxin Hotel, Zhou Sheng suddenly remembered something and said to Yan Can, "I forgot to introduce you. This is my cousin, Zong Lian."

Yan Can: "Oh."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he had ever seen someone react so calmly upon hearing the name "Zong Lian".

Even indifference.

This is really...heartening!

Zhou Sheng turned around, glanced at Zong Lian in the back seat who was expressionless but somehow seemed angry, and then deliberately asked Yan Can, "Oh, what do you mean?"

Yan Can said, "You mean you have a very bad memory."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

I was careless.

I've done something stupid again.

He forgot that his cousin was also in the car when Yan Can first rode in it.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Yan Can said unhappily, "See, you insisted on asking, and now you're unhappy even after I tell you. Don't ask next time."

The tone was like that of someone scolding a naughty child.

Zhou Sheng was utterly speechless.

He became withdrawn.

Zong Lian, who had never spoken while Yan Can was present, spoke up at this moment, "I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

Zhou Sheng turned around in astonishment.

Is my cousin apologizing?

Zong Lian ignored him and instead gazed at Yan Can's cool yet childlike profile.

He said, "Let's get to know each other again."

He said, "I am Zong Lian."
