As night deepened, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Yan Xiluo made up her mind and spent a long time preparing herself mentally before finally deciding to go find Lan Jingyan.
Yan Xiluo arrived at Lan Jingyan's door. Perhaps lacking some courage, she hesitated back and forth in front of Lan Jingyan's door, not knocking for a long time.
Just as she hesitated and was about to knock, the door opened...
"Luo Luo? Did you come looking for me? Why don't you come in?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Jingyan's eyes.
"Um... I haven't figured out how to tell you yet..."
At this moment, Yan Xiluo lowered her head, her voice was so soft that only she could hear it, and her toes were twitching restlessly...
"Luo Luo, I didn't hear what you said. Why don't we go inside and sit down to talk?"
Lan Jingyan definitely didn't hear it, and it was indeed strange for him to be talking while standing at the door.
"Um……"
Yan Xiluo hesitated, wondering whether she should go in. She had come to see him in the first place.
"good."
Yan Xiluo went in and sat on the sofa. Lan Jingyan gently closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed, facing Yan Xiluo directly.
“That…A-Yan…I…”
At this moment, Yan Xiluo was very shy, fidgeting and unable to speak, even though she had practiced so many times in the room...
"Luo Luo, just say what you want to say, it's okay."
Is there something Luo Luo is ashamed of? She's not usually like this.
“Ayan, I heard your conversation with the elders downstairs, and I was very touched. Just now, I was in my room repeatedly trying to figure out if I had fallen for you.”
Yan Xiluo thought to herself, "I'll just have to go for it! I'll borrow some courage from Fish Leong!"
"So, what's the answer?"
Lan Jingyan's expectant gaze seemed to see right through Yan Xiluo, and his palms were sweating with nervousness.
"Ayan, I like you. I'm not going to give it a try anymore. I'm serious and determined to date you."
She still told Lan Jingyan her innermost thoughts without reservation.
Lan Jingyan remained silent. At this moment, he could not control his emotions and was so moved that he shed tears.
Yan Xiluo also noticed the tears in Lan Jingyan's eyes. He cried? This usually aloof person cried? Did I say something wrong?
Lan Jingyan hurriedly wiped away her tears and stood up.
"Luo Luo, I'm so excited, I couldn't control myself."
Yes, if she had only answered yes, he might not have been this excited, but she said she wanted to be serious and committed to dating him, so he cried with emotion.
"I thought I said something wrong."
Yan Xiluo stood up, gently stroking his eye with one hand, lingering on his face.
"No, Luo Luo, you're absolutely right!"
Lan Jingyan gently took the hand that was pressed against his face and looked down at the girl in front of him.
He leaned forward slightly and kissed Yan Xiluo's forehead.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, Lan Jingyan released Yan Xiluo.
"Luo Luo, it's getting late, you should go and get some rest!"
"Okay, then... goodnight."
Goodnight, Luo Luo.
Yan Xiluo waved to Lan Jingyan and left his room.
the next day
It was already past five o'clock when Yan Xiluo returned to the Yan family home with her parents.
Yan Yinran had been waiting in the lobby.
"Dad, Mom, Sister, you're back."
Yan Yinran happily went forward to greet her parents.
"Hehe, Ranran, you're not upset that your parents didn't wake you up, are you? Your parents saw you were sleeping soundly at the time."
Remembering Li Mufei's reminder, Yan Youting tried his best to treat Yan Yinran equally.
"How could that be? I've been to my grandparents' house many times since I was a child. It's okay if I miss one time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Yan Yinran pretended to be magnanimous and acted as if nothing was wrong.
"Oh? Ranran seems to have matured a lot?"
Li Shuwen joked.
"I can't possibly be jealous of my sister too, can I? Am I that petty?"
Yan Yinran looked at Li Shuwen with an innocent expression and asked in return.
"That's good."
Li Shuwen smiled and was relieved to see that Yan Yinran's expression didn't reveal anything.
"Mom and Dad, I'm participating in a dance competition the day after tomorrow. You two must come and support me!"
Yan Yinran's greatest talent is dance. She started learning dance at a young age and has a good foundation.
"That's for sure. Which of your competitions did your parents miss?"
Yan Youting was telling the truth; he and Li Shuwen had never missed a single one of her dance competitions.
"Sister, why don't you come and support me too?!"
Although Yan Xiluo is a highly skilled doctor and a talented fashion designer, she's no slouch either; she's a great dancer! She's determined to impress Yan Xiluo and show her that she's just as capable!
She refused to believe that she was a better dancer than her, and that she couldn't possibly have that much time to learn.
"I won't go, I'm not free that day."
Yan Xiluo said calmly.
She didn't want to get involved in anything related to her; didn't she know what she was thinking?
"Well, that's a pity..."
Yan Yinran pretended to be disappointed.
Hmph! She's just saying she's busy on purpose, isn't she? I bet she's afraid that if I do too well, my parents will be happy and she'll get jealous.
"Mom and Dad will be there on time. Your sister is quite busy, so please understand."
Li Shuwen said slowly.
"Okay, I understand, my sister is a very busy person!"
Yan Yinran's tone became more forceful, and it was unclear who she was trying to satirize.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to do, I need to go back to the company first, I won't be having dinner at home tonight."
Yan Xiluo didn't want to stay here for even a second longer, and besides, she needed to go back to the company to handle some business.
"Just got back, and already busy again? Sigh~"
Li Shuwen sighed. Her daughter spent very little time with her; it was practically nonexistent.
Yan Yinran was secretly delighted. Let's go! Mom and Dad are all mine again!
"Be careful, Luo Luo."
Yan Youting asked with concern, worried that his daughter was too tired.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'll be going now."
After saying that, Yan Xiluo left the Yan family without looking back, quickly got into her car and drove towards the company...
office
"Hello."
Yan Xiluo had just sat down at the company when the phone rang.
"Beautiful Luo Luo, could you please lend me a hand in this emergency?"
Xiao Ran's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Ran, what's wrong?"
Yan Xiluo knew that Ren Ran wouldn't come to her unless absolutely necessary.
"There's a dance competition the day after tomorrow, and one of the judges we invited can't make it due to a sudden family emergency. So we're short a judge. We contacted other people, but none of them had the time to come, so we had to ask you for help."
Yan Xiluo glanced at her schedule. She didn't have any plans for that day. Ren Ran was a good friend of hers in the dance circle, and she was willing to help her out.
"Okay, then send me the address and time later."
"Alright! I'll treat you to dinner after this is all done, my beautiful Luo Luo!"
After receiving the correct answer, a joyful voice came from the other end of the phone.
It just so happens that I can see Ren Ran the day after tomorrow; it's been quite a while since we last met.
