"Didn't you say you were going back to the Jiang family?"

It was Jiang Xiuye's voice; his voice was always deep and cold.

Si Jinyan remembered that he had said something like that yesterday.

"sure."

Si Jinyan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Tonight, we'll get Xu Wei to tell her who her biological parents are.

"Let's have a casual dinner together tonight, to celebrate your return."

Jiang Xiuye ​​didn't know what was wrong with him, or if they wanted to start adopting a conciliatory policy.

They really will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Si Jinyan agreed.

It just means I can't go on a date with Xiao Luoan tonight.

She could only send a message to Xiao Luoan to tell him about it.

Fortunately, Xiao Luoan knew she was busy and reminded her to be careful.

Your fourth senior brother came to see me today.

Are you alright?

Fourth Senior Brother wouldn't cause trouble for Xiao Luo'an just because she's dating him, would he?

Although it seems that even the fourth senior brother couldn't find any trouble for Xiao Luoan.

I sponsored his team.

So you've won him over?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Luoan knew her senior brothers so well.

If nothing unexpected happens, your fourth senior brother should be back in closed training by now.

Is this the power of money?

Si Jinyan could probably imagine how his fourth senior brother stormed off to find him, and how he walked out of the Xiao Group all smiles.

He who eats another's food is bound to be obligated to him; he who takes another's money is bound to be obligated to

I have money now, you don't need to go to such lengths.

Si Jinyan was still a little embarrassed to say it.

I'm a businessman; I won't do anything that doesn't make money.

For Xiao Luoan, being with Si Jinyan was a sure win.

He only wants her.

Yes, yes, Young Master Xiao.

I miss you. Can you come to my office?

Xiao Luoan didn't hide it; he did miss her after not seeing her for a whole day.

"Shall I keep you company for a while?"

[Yes, it's good to be careful with your words.]

So Si Jinyan changed into a light pink dress and casually tied her hair up in a high ponytail, looking youthful, beautiful, and full of energy.

As she passed the receptionist, the receptionist handed her the competition ticket.

She took it and looked at it; it was the ApL Summer National Tournament.

The competition was held among outstanding teams selected from all over the country, including Team H led by Si Muzhi.

She carefully put the ticket into her Qiankun bag and kept it safe; she was determined to go watch her fourth senior brother's match.

When she arrived at the Xiao's Building, Shen Zhi was already waiting for her in the lobby.

"Who is that girl next to Assistant Shen?"

There were many people coming and going in the lobby on the first floor, and they were all quite surprised to see Shen Zhi with a strange girl.

They even got into the boss's private elevator.

"They seem to have quite a background."

"Assistant Shen, who sees no woman within three feet of him."

"That girl is really pretty, and so young."

The staff in the lobby were whispering and gossiping.

Si Jinyan followed Shen Zhi directly up to the thirty-second floor.

"The boss is in a meeting. Ms. Si, please wait for him in his office for a while."

Shen Zhi used to think his boss was going to be a bachelor for life.

After all, there are no women within three feet of him.

To everyone's surprise, this young girl won him over and even brought him to the company.

If the chairman and his wife knew this, I wonder how happy they would be.

The boss's succession banquet was just around the corner, and Shen Zhi glanced at the huge package next to him.

He poured Si Jinyan a glass of water and then left.

With nothing else to do, Si Jinyan took out a BL (Boys' Love) novel and started reading it.

I fell asleep again without even realizing it.

"We share the same origin. Don't you really want to conquer the Three Realms with me?"

A voice kept echoing in my dream.

Before Si Jinyan was a massive black mist, obscuring the sky and sun, carrying a strong sense of oppression that made it difficult for her to breathe.

"Why have you become so timid, Honglian? You're not like the person you used to be at all."

Who is Honglian?

Si Jinyan frowned deeply; her head felt like it was about to explode from that voice.

"Let's work together to purify this corrupt world, Crimson Lotus!"

"Destroy this corrupt world, with me!"

...

"No!"

She is Si Jinyan, not some Honglian; she just wants to be herself.

A flash of red light appeared in her eyes, and she suddenly opened them wide, gasping for breath.

Only then did I realize that I was covered in sweat.

"What happened?"

Si Jinyan sat up from the sofa in fright. After calming herself down, she looked around and realized that she was still in Xiao Luoan's office.

But it was already dark.

She shook her head; the voice seemed to be right next to her ear.

Every time this sound appears, it's near the statue of the Ghost King.

Si Jinyan glanced around, and when the thought popped into her head, she became alert.

He hurriedly got up and searched the office for the statue of the Ghost King.

Sure enough, they found a ghost king image pasted deep inside a cabinet under the desk.

"Don't you remember me, Honglian?"

The statue of the Ghost King looks like it's smiling?

The sinister-looking ghost king statue bared its fangs, its lips slowly curving upwards.

“I am Si Jinyan, not Honglian.”

This time, Si Jinyan decisively crushed the ghost king statue.

But the next second she seemed to wake up from the sofa again.

She gasped for breath and sat up abruptly from the sofa.

"I am Si Jinyan!"

As soon as he said that, Xiao Luoan's voice came from beside him.

"I know you're Si Jinyan, what's wrong?"

Xiao Luoan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had woken up.

He took out a tissue from the side and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Si Jinyan swallowed hard, and when she saw it was Xiao Luoan, she hugged him tightly.

“I am Si Jinyan, not Honglian.”

She repeated the sentence in a trembling voice.

"I know, I know, you are you, you are no one else."

Xiao Luoan gently patted her back and said softly.

Did you have a nightmare?

"It was a very real dream. In the dream, an evil voice told me that I was some kind of Red Lotus and that I should destroy the world with him. I was so scared."

Si Jinyan is very strong, but she is not sure if there are things in this world that she doesn't know about.

Or is she herself terrifying?

She dared not continue to imagine what that voice was saying.

"The Si Jinyan I know is brave, strong, confident, and kind. You wouldn't do those things."

Xiao Luoan released her, gently cupped her face, and looked into her eyes as she spoke.

In their eyes, the seeds of trust are sprouting.

"I will always believe in you."

"Xiao Luoan".

She called out in a slightly trembling voice.

Xiao Luoan gently kissed her forehead to soothe her restless heart.

"I love you, Si Jinyan."

Xiao Luoan whispered a sentence in her ear.

"I love you too."

She responded with a blush and red eyes.

Under their gazes, a captivating allure surged.
