Chapter 20 Missing



He Yunsheng stood in front of He Yan.

Fan Cheng was a little surprised.

He Yan and He Yunsheng, the brother and sister, have always had a bad relationship. He knew this. He had known He Yan for such a long time, but he had almost never seen her and He Yunsheng appear together. Even if they occasionally ran into each other, they were always arguing.

But looking at He Yunsheng's expression, he didn't seem to be arguing, but rather seemed to be protecting He Yan. Did something unknown happen between them?

He turned to look at He Yan again. The girl stared at him with clear and frank eyes, without much affection, and it didn't look like she still had feelings for him.

Fan Cheng took another step forward and asked anxiously, "I heard that you were seriously ill a few days ago. I wonder if you have recovered... Do you want me to have someone buy some supplements and send them to your home? What do you like? I see that you seem to have lost some weight, and I am really worried."

This man has a decent appearance, is well-dressed, and is so earnest. If it were really Miss He who was here, she would have been completely moved by him.

Before He Yan could say anything, He Yunsheng was afraid that she would be moved by Fan Cheng's words, so he quickly said, "Don't listen to his nonsense! Don't forget who caused you to be seriously ill and what they said at the door of Fan's house! This person is a liar!"

He Yan had heard He Yunsheng talk about this before. When Miss He learned that her sweetheart had married, she went to ask for an explanation, but was kicked out by the servants of the Fan family. She didn't even see Fan Cheng's face, so she lost all hope and couldn't afford to fall ill.

Upon hearing this, Fan Cheng secretly hated He Yunsheng for being nosy, but his face became even more sorrowful. "Ah He, this marriage was arranged by my parents and the matchmaker. I have no right to choose. But you should know how I feel about you. Why listen to outsiders' instigation?"

"Who do you call an outsider?" He Yunsheng was furious. "I am her biological brother! What is your relationship with her? Don't even think about taking advantage of me!"

He Yan patted He Yunsheng on the shoulder, signaling He Yunsheng to calm down. She turned to look at Fan Cheng, bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Fan. I am fine now. I just caught a cold a few days ago. My brother is young, so I just said it nonsense."

Fan Cheng didn't expect her to say that, and was so stunned that he didn't say anything for a moment.

"The past is gone, Master Fan has married and started a family. It is not appropriate for me to get too close to him, or it will make his wife sad. From now on, we should just go our separate ways and not see each other again."

He Yan felt that what she said was very considerate and did not hurt Mr. Fan's reputation. Looking at He Yunsheng again, he seemed very satisfied with her words, like a fighting chicken that had won a battle, and looked at Fan Cheng with extra pride.

Fan Cheng looked at He Yan carefully.

Actually, he and He Yan met by chance. It was just that she sprained her ankle during an outing, so Fan Cheng took pity on her and asked someone to give her a ride.

To be fair, He Yan was pretty, but not stunningly beautiful. Young men from families like theirs had seen all kinds of women. He Yan was just attracted by his family background and wanted to live a life of luxury. It would be a waste not to eat the fat meat that was delivered to your mouth. A woman with good looks and a clean family, Fan Cheng thought, it would be nice to take her in as a concubine.

Who knew that He Yan was so arrogant and proud, and was aiming for the position of Fan Cheng's legal wife.

How could he possibly marry the daughter of a city gate captain? He Yan was just daydreaming, but in order to trick her into giving him money, Fan Cheng was just trying to coax her into giving her some cheap cosmetics and jewelry to make her happy.

Who would have known that one day He Yan found out about his upcoming marriage and went to Fan's house to cause a scene. The first wife he was marrying was the eldest daughter of Cheng Wu Lang. If Cheng Wu Lang found out, he might cancel the marriage. So Fan Chenggong asked his servants to drive He Yan away.

I heard that He Yan was very sad at the time and almost committed suicide, but Fan Chengcai was too lazy to care. Then he got married and married a beautiful wife, and everything went smoothly.

After the wedding, Fan Cheng's old problem came back. But his new wife was fierce and fierce, and she controlled him very tightly. He could not go to brothels or kilns, and even sent away several concubines. At this time, Fan Cheng missed the delicate He Yan.

He Yan's personality was different from his tough wife. He was very delicate and cute. Although he sometimes showed some temper, he looked cute. Fan Cheng asked someone to find out about He Yan. He learned that after He Yan left Fan's house, he fell seriously ill. After waking up, he rarely went out alone. He and his brother occasionally went to Zuiyulou to sell Danai cakes.

I didn't expect to see you here today.

He Yan seems to be different from before.

The expression she showed when she looked at herself was no longer as flattering and charming as before, but rather frank and surprising. Her eyebrows and eyes were still the same, but now they were more lively and seemed to have a bit of heroism that she didn't have before. It was this heroism that made her beautiful face look so different, and even the polite smile at the corner of her lips made people unable to look away.

It does feel like a complete transformation.

"You are still angry with me." Fan Cheng said dejectedly.

He was sure that He Yan still had feelings for him. She liked him so much in the past, how could she let him go in one day? As long as he apologized like before and gave her some gifts, she would forgive him. A woman like this, just a few sweet words and an oath to the heavens, would be completely devoted to him.

He Yan didn't know what Fan Cheng was thinking. She had explained it clearly enough, so why didn't Fan Cheng seem to understand? She turned around and asked the old tailor, "Have you measured the size?"

The old tailor nodded in agreement.

"This is the deposit," He Yan put the silver on the desk, "When will it be ready?"

"You can get spring and summer clothes after 20 days. Winter clothes will take a little longer, about a month."

"Okay," He Yan said with a smile, "We'll come to pick it up in the 20th. Please make it prettier," she pointed at He Yunsheng, "Children love beauty."

"Who loves beauty?" He Yunsheng became angry out of shame.

The old tailor smiled but said nothing and nodded in agreement.

He Yan and He Yunsheng walked out of the tailor shop and just nodded slightly to Fan Cheng without saying anything else.

Before Fan Cheng could say anything, the girl had already walked away cleanly. However, He Yunsheng turned around and secretly waved his fist at him, his eyes full of warning.

"Ha." Fan Cheng sneered.

"Sir, Miss He's treatment of you..." the servant was indignant.

"No problem." Fan Cheng waved his hand. "Women are just being petty."

Today's He Yan is really different from the past. The look of keeping people at a distance is really itchy. Fan Cheng suddenly thought that he spent so much time on He Yan, but in fact, he didn't get any advantage.

How can you let the duck that is in your mouth fly away? Since we have met here today, why not continue our previous relationship and achieve something beautiful together?

Fan Cheng smiled with a confident look on his face.
