Chapter 6 Going Home
On the other end of the phone, the man seemed to chuckle softly, and soon, two deep words came through: "Address?"
Fang Lanxin pouted, her eyes revealing a playfulness beyond her years.
"Let's go to the shop that Lord Guan liked the most."
Without waiting for a reply, Fang Lanxin hung up the phone.
The feud between the Huo and Guan families is not a problem of their generation; it can be considered a legacy of history.
Even on their deathbeds, the elders in the family gritted their teeth and cursed the Guan family for being despicable.
Fang Lanxin and Guan Yu were fierce rivals in their youth, constantly battling each other until this age. However, now that Fang Lanxin has been reborn, she has come to terms with many things, and besides...
Thinking of his previous life, in which Guan Yu remained unmarried until his old age, Fang Lanxin's heart pounded.
At 8 p.m. sharp, the two met at the Lan Kwai Fong restaurant in Central.
Fang Lanxin arrived a little late and saw the man sitting in the seat from afar. Even though he was over forty, time had not left any marks on him. On the contrary, he had more composure and maturity than those twenty-somethings.
Guan Yu was famously handsome throughout the port city. He had a fiery temper when he was young, but now that he's older, he's become calm and gentlemanly. Young girls in their twenties are always swarming around him, but unfortunately, he doesn't fancy any of them.
Why are you standing there?
"Didn't you call me here?"
Guan Yu stood up, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Fang Lanxin.
These words brought Fang Lanxin back to her senses.
She smiled, walked over quickly, and sat down opposite Guan Yu.
Today, Fang Lanxin had dressed up specially. She wore a cheongsam made of Xiangyun yarn, and her hair was specially permed into big curls. She didn't wear many accessories, but they were just right to highlight her status and made her look very noble.
Guan Yu's eyes darkened slightly: "Ms. Fang looks stunning today."
"Thank you."
Fang Lanxin thanked them generously.
This simple "thank you" actually made the atmosphere freeze, mainly because the two people's relationship was not one where they could sit down and talk calmly.
"Mrs. Huo's home is in complete chaos, yet she still has the mind to come out and have dinner with me?"
Guan Yu elegantly crossed his legs, raised an eyebrow at Fang Lanxin, and looked on with obvious schadenfreude.
This person is great in every way, except for that mouth of theirs...
If Fang Lanxin hadn't been able to see through this man's thoughts in her previous life, she probably would have already gotten up and left.
"Ugh, it's really annoying."
Fang Lanxin lowered her eyes and sighed helplessly.
She deliberately adopted this posture in front of this man. In the past, Fang Lanxin only knew how to charge ahead and never showed weakness. Now, she has come to understand that showing weakness is a woman's natural asset.
Sure enough, as soon as she showed weakness, Guan Yu's arrogance instantly subsided.
"I've heard that the shipping business of the second branch of the Huo family is growing bigger and bigger recently. We should congratulate Mrs. Huo."
Lord Guan picked up his wine cup and spoke as if casually.
The Huo family's information is always strictly controlled, so the fact that he knows so much about it must have taken a lot of effort.
"Thank you!"
Fang Lanxin raised her wine glass and smiled at Guan Yu with her eyes crinkling.
She was already beautiful, and time has been kind to her. She looks to be in her early thirties, the prime of her life, and every move she makes exudes charm.
Guan Yu swallowed hard, his throat bobbing.
“There’s quite a commotion in Shenzhen right now. Second Master’s business should also be stirred up.”
Fang Lanxin has never been one to like owing favors, especially not to this guy.
With this one sentence, I've thanked both the doctor and the second wife for their help.
Should I also say "excuse me"?
Guan Yu seemed unappreciative, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Fang Lanxin.
"Whatever."
After being reborn, Fang Lanxin became indifferent to everything, especially in interpersonal relationships, where she no longer forced anything.
Outside, the night was as still as water, and the neon lights flickered, telling the story of the port city's prosperity.
In her previous life, Fang Lanxin was so focused on the Huo family business that she didn't even have time to properly appreciate the port city.
"Sitting here now, I realize that Hong Kong is truly beautiful."
Fang Lanxin swirled her wine glass and unconsciously uttered a sigh.
Sitting opposite Guan Yu, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
"Mrs. Huo, are you preparing to retire to the sidelines? Are you willing to do so?"
"With Lord Guan still on the front lines, how could I bear to retire to the second line?"
Fang Lanxin was not to be outdone and retorted directly.
This is purely muscle memory. After all, this was how the two of them got along in their previous life, and they never let each other off the hook with their words.
Clearly, Guan Yu on the other side only felt relieved after Fang Lanxin said those words.
Fang Lanxin's strangely polite demeanor had led Guan Erye to believe that something serious had happened, but now it seems that this woman's methods of tormenting people are becoming increasingly diverse.
"Teden invited me to dinner just to say 'thank you'?"
Guan Yu raised an eyebrow and stared intently at Fang Lanxin.
"Of course not."
Not to be outdone, Fang Lanxin moved closer, closing the distance between them, her breath brushing against the other's face.
"No, I don't want to. I want to take a good look at Second Master."
In their previous life, he stayed by her side for her his whole life, and she was also moved by him. However, because of the feud between their families, they could only suppress all their feelings in their hearts.
I thought that with the passage of time, everything would fade away, but I never expected that Guan Yu would remain unmarried for the rest of his life because of her.
Now that she has been reborn, all the things from her past life are just fleeting memories, and Fang Lanxin is no longer willing to mistreat herself in the slightest.
She reached out and gently placed her hand on Guan Yu's face.
"Second Master, you are so handsome."
In that instant, Guan Yu felt as if his face was burning, a blush spreading to his ears, and his originally cold and indifferent eyes suddenly became fiery.
However, all his reactions were only temporary. He quickly regained his composure, took Fang Lanxin's hand, and placed it on the table.
"Madam Huo, please have some self-respect."
Self-respect?
Fang Lanxin stared into his eyes, and the iceberg that had been hidden in them melted away, revealing eyes that were now filled with tenderness.
"Second Master, you're saying one thing and meaning another."
Fang Lanxin withdrew her hand, stood up with a wicked smile, and strode away.
"you!"
Guan Yu instantly realized that Fang Lanxin was deliberately teasing him, but unfortunately, he fell for her trap.
Staring at Fang Lanxin's retreating figure, Guan Yu covered his cheek, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up slightly, his eyes brimming with joy that he could no longer hide.
As Fang Lanxin walked out of Lan Kwai Fong, the warmth on her face vanished instantly. After getting into the car, she said coldly, "Go home!"
