Marriages between wealthy families typically involve choosing important members from both clans. But who is Shen Lanxin? She is the sole heir of the Shen family and the only choice to become the future head of the family.
This isn't to say that the Shen family doesn't favor sons over daughters; it's just that Shen Lanxin's abilities have transcended the distinction between men and women. For the Shen family, it's better to make her the head of the family than to arrange a marriage for her; that way, they can gain greater benefits.
Secondly, the Gu family has declined, and no matter how outstanding Gu Nan is, Shen Lanxin would never choose him without any feelings. This option is neither in the family's interest nor in her own.
But stepmother Zhang Chunfang kept urging Shen Lanxin and Gu Nan to be together. Shen Lanxin didn't believe there wasn't a conspiracy behind this.
After all, how could someone from a wealthy family who can even abandon family ties do something that is clearly not in their best interest?
Shen Lanxin had already asked someone to investigate the reason behind it. However, she didn't care much about the results of the investigation.
As the saying goes, one force can overcome ten techniques.
Now, the Lantian Group is completely under her control, and even if Shen Lihong came, he couldn't do anything to her.
Therefore, Shen Lanxin was able to happily go out and play with Mu Liuyun.
To prepare for this day, Shen Lanxin takes two hours out of her work every day to learn what couples should do and play at amusement parks.
Although she and Mu Liuyun are not yet a couple, Shen Lanxin believes that there is only a thin membrane between them, and they will establish a relationship when the membrane is broken.
She confirmed online that their current relationship is described as "more than friends, less than lovers".
After arriving at Mu Liuyun's side, Shen Lanxin took out two tickets from her bag: "Let's go."
Mu Liuyun nodded blankly. Gu Nan wasn't here, so could he go home now?
Without saying a word, Shen Lanxin naturally took Mu Liuyun's hand and led her towards the amusement park.
Mu Liuyun felt relieved and thought to herself.
Even if she wasn't a substitute, Shen Lanxin probably still considered me a friend.
Thinking about this, Mu Liuyun unconsciously felt a little happy.
The two spent the morning enjoying many rides. Shen Lanxin seemed to have been prepared, taking Mu Liuyun on popular amusement park rides such as the roller coaster and the log flume.
Mu Liuyun, beaming with excitement, held an ice cream cone and looked happily at Shen Lanxin: "The amusement park is so much fun, just like I imagined!"
Mu Liuyun's words, for some reason, stung Shen Lanxin's heart. Although she had never liked amusement parks since she was a child, her father, Shen Lihong, had still taken her there a few times.
Perhaps, for orphans like Xiaoyun, childhood is destined to be devoid of amusement parks.
But Shen Lanxin had never comforted anyone before and was unaware of this situation.
"Xiaoyun, go have lunch."
Noticing Shen Lanxin's gaze, Mu Liuyun suddenly calmed down, realizing that she had been a little too excited and had blurted out whatever came to mind. She quickly changed the subject: "Lanxin, it's okay, I'm not hungry yet."
Shen Lanxin ignored Mu Liuyun's refusal and, without saying a word, took Mu Liuyun's hand and walked towards the restaurant in the center of the amusement park.
The restaurant in the amusement park is known for its low cost-performance ratio.
However, this shortcoming doesn't seem to matter much to Shen Lanxin.
The two ordered some dishes casually and then sat down facing each other.
Because of their exceptionally good looks, the tourists around them would frequently turn their attention to the two of them.
Shen Lanxin ignored all of this, but Mu Liuyun felt somewhat awkward. Especially since he had to face Shen Lanxin's face, which looked like she'd been killing fish at RT-Mart for thirty years.
"that..."
"Xiao Yun".
Just as Mu Liuyun was racking her brains to find something to talk about to pass the time before the food was served, Shen Lanxin spoke up.
What are your hobbies and interests?
"When I have free time, I like to cook and watch anime."
"Yeah."
"..."
"that..."
What was your favorite subject in college?
"Huh? Physical education class, because you can pass it even if you don't have to attend class."
Shen Lanxin's expression remained unchanged, while Mu Liuyun looked as if she were covered in lice, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Why does she insist on bringing up these awkward topics? Did we come to the amusement park for fun, or for a blind date?
Originally, he thought he was the one who understood Shen Lanxin the most, but now he felt that his understanding of Shen Lanxin was no different from that of a blank sheet of paper.
"Hello, your steak is ready."
'Nice!'
The arrival of the waiter brought a sigh of relief to Mu Liuyun: "Lan Xin, we..."
But when he looked up, Shen Lanxin was still staring straight at him, her eyes filled with anticipation, as if waiting for Mu Liuyun to do something.
Mu Liuyun bit her lower lip lightly, her cheeks flushed, and her brain cells were pounding wildly.
Finally, as Shen Lanxin's expression grew increasingly disappointed, Mu Liuyun opened her mouth and asked, "Lanxin, what are your hobbies?"
"Work."
The disappointment on Shen Lanxin's face vanished, replaced by a slight upturn of her lips.
What I read online was absolutely right: the best way for men and women to deepen their relationship is through chatting. It not only brings joy and relaxation but also helps them understand each other better.
"That's so delightful."
"Huh? Which aspect are you referring to?"
"Shall we go take some photo booth pictures next?"
"OK!"
Mu Liuyun's smile returned.
Suddenly, Mu Liuyun felt that Shen Lanxin, who treated him as a friend, was kind of cute.
'Photo booths? I've never tried that before.'
Half an hour later, at Jincheng Wedding Art Photography on the first floor of Qianxiao Commercial Center, Mu Liuyun looked at Shen Lanxin with surprise as she walked towards the boss: "Is this what you meant by taking photo booth pictures?"
Shen Lanxin seemed not to hear what Mu Liuyun was saying. She walked straight to the boss and pointed to a wedding photo behind him, saying, "The two of us want to take a photo like this."
The owner was a young woman who looked like she had just graduated from university. Facing the icy Shen Lanxin, she trembled slightly: "Do you need to change your clothes? I... we have formal dresses for rent here. You can choose one yourself."
"good."
As she spoke, Shen Lanxin walked over to a wedding dress, picked it up, and held it up against Mu Liuyun: "Xiaoyun, you should wear this."
"Ah, me?"
Seeing this, before Mu Liuyun could refuse, the boss came over and said, "I'm sorry, men can't wear these dresses because some customers will mind."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lanxin pulled Mu Liuyun over, took off Mu Liuyun's hat, and showed it to the shopkeeper: "It's okay, because Xiaoyun is very cute."
Mu Liuyun took off her hat, revealing her lovely face in full.
The young boss stroked his chin and examined the camera for a while before taking it out, turning to walk towards the studio, and giving a thumbs-up behind him: "Okay, I'll get ready to film right away!"
"No, boss, can't you have some principles?"
