"What?" Lan Ziye looked at Chu Xixuan in disbelief and asked cautiously, "Why are you going back with me?"

Chu Xixuan was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "We're already engaged. I'm considered the son-in-law of the Lan family, so I still have to fulfill my obligations!"

Lan Ziye:.......

"Well...there's no need for obligation. You also know that you have a special identity and it will be troublesome to mobilize a large number of people wherever you go. I have a lot of things to do at home recently and don't have the time to entertain you!" Lan Ziye said.

"No need?" Chu Xixuan said somewhat displeased.

"Next time, I will definitely notify my family ten days in advance, hold a welcome ceremony or something, and let you enter the Lan family in a grand manner, okay?" Lan Ziye coaxed carefully.

Chu Xixuan's head instantly fell into a row of black lines, and his voice became two points colder: "Then you go back to the Lan family alone!"

Feeling the cold aura of Chu Xixuan, Lan Ziye couldn't help but shudder. Why did it feel like this amnesiac man would be even harder to deal with?

Lan Ziye raised his foot and planned to run away as fast as he could, but just as he took a step, Chu Xixuan's voice drifted over again coldly: "The housekeeper said that we love each other very much. Is that true?"

Lan Ziye stumbled and nearly fell face-first. How could this butler be so good at making up stories? Which eye of his saw them fall in love?

Lan Ziye took a deep breath and said seriously, "It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding. We are just partners who are good at acting. You are responsible for helping me get the essence stone, and I am responsible for helping you deal with your grandfather and prevent you from being forced into marriage!"

Is that so? But what he has learned these days is not the case! Chu Xixuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lan Ziye.

"Relax, love and not loving are actually very mysterious things. If you have feelings, you love; if you don't have feelings, you don't love. Look at me, do you have feelings for me now?" Lan Ziye stood up straight and gestured from head to toe with his hands.

Chu Xixuan thought for a moment and said, "No feeling!"

"That's it. Don't worry about these trivial issues. You don't have anyone you like now. When you do, I will give way to you. Don't worry!" Lan Ziye said calmly, "Everything should be done according to your heart. Do what your heart feels."

"What if you have someone you like? Will you leave me?" Chu Xixuan asked.

Lan Ziye waved her hands and said, "Don't worry, it's impossible for me to have someone I like!" Are you kidding? She only has the Jingshi in her heart, how could she have someone she likes? Besides, she is not from this era. Having someone she likes will only add to her troubles. She is not stupid!

"Okay, I really have to go back. Don't worry about it! Love and affection are not that important!" After saying that, Lan Ziye walked out of the old house as if he was escaping.

Chu Xixuan was acting strangely today, so it was best for her to run away quickly. (???)

It was already late at night when he returned to the Lan family. Lan Ziye lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, just as the sky was getting light, bursts of noisy sounds came from outside the house, which made her unable to sleep.

Lan Ziye simply got up, dressed and washed up, then walked out of the room.

As soon as she opened the door, Lan Ziye saw Lan Yandian walking towards her room.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Lan Ziye asked.

"Jin Youcai committed suicide last night. Dozens of people from the Jin family's branch gathered at the door of the old house, all dressed in mourning and holding banners, demanding an explanation from our Lan family!" Lan Yandian said hurriedly.
