"Hehe, this is a special privilege for you. As long as Auntie is happy."
Being happy is more important than anything else.
The assistant felt that he was disturbing their family reunion, since it was the husband and wife's family day.
"Sir, Madam, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
She was afraid of ruining the atmosphere, so she felt it would be better to leave quickly.
"Milian, since you're already here, if you don't have anything else to do, you can stay and have a meal with us. It's almost lunchtime."
It was lunchtime, and Lan Yazhi felt a little apologetic for making her come all this way during her holiday, so she wanted to invite her to stay for a meal.
"Okay, I'm fine. Thank you for the invitation, madam. I'll take my leave then."
The lady actually invited her to dinner? She felt flattered; she had never eaten at the manor before, and sometimes she would just deliver an urgent message and leave immediately.
"That's great! Today is the most exciting day for the manor."
Seeing how happy Lan Yazhi was, it was clear that what she said to Mi Lian earlier wasn't just polite talk; she genuinely invited her.
Milen had been with her for many years and had helped her a lot at work. Many people wanted to poach her and switch jobs, but she refused them all. So Lan Yazhi's kindness to her was genuine, and she was grateful.
"Hehe, Yazi, shall we go see how Anna is doing and see if she needs any help?"
He was worried that there wouldn't be enough food and wanted to help out.
"Okay, let's go see if we need to add any more dishes. Please have a seat and make yourselves at home."
Lan Yazhi warmly invited Milian to sit down as well.
"Sir, Madam, why don't I come and help out? I'm a pretty good cook."
She was really not used to just sitting there waiting for her meal, after all, she was a special assistant, not a family member.
"Alright, let's go together then. Jingyan, Luoluo, you two sit here and rest for a bit."
She knew that Milian wasn't used to it, so she invited her to go to the kitchen with her.
The other end
“Master, we followed them to Muzi Manor, but it is heavily guarded and outsiders cannot enter at all. Moreover, Muzi Manor is Alex’s territory.”
The men in black had been parked at the three-way intersection because their vehicles couldn't get through.
"Muzi Manor? Alex's strength should not be underestimated. We should retreat quickly, or he may find you soon. If he catches up, we will lose our chance to make a move."
He knew that if his men were discovered, they would be doomed. If he attracted attention, he definitely couldn't take action in F country for the next few days.
"Alright, then we'll retreat for now. But we don't know where they'll reappear later."
He was worried about losing them.
"We'll see how things go for now, that's all."
"good."
The man in black hung up the phone and immediately turned and left.
After a while, Alita finished her performance and rushed back to the manor.
"Hello, Miss Tina."
The servants bowed respectfully.
Alita nodded in acknowledgment and then walked towards the hall.
"Brother Yan?!"
A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. They hadn't seen each other for six months... Who was this beautiful woman beside her? She was confused; what had she missed?
"Tina, it's been a long time."
It has indeed been a long time. I visited my aunt several times during business trips, but I didn't run into her.
The two hugged, a customary gesture in Country F.
Since Yan Xiluo knew Alita's identity earlier this time, she was no longer jealous.
"Who is this pretty young lady?"
Tina finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked first, tilting her head and looking at Yan Xiluo with wide eyes.
"Tina, this is my fiancée, Yan Xiluo. Luoluo, this is the Tina I told you about today."
Lan Jingyan seemed to be used to such occasions.
"So you're my future sister-in-law. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tina."
Tina was indeed the quiet and ladylike type, unlike Anna who was very enthusiastic, which Anna found a bit overwhelming.
"Tina, your cousin told me you're the principal dancer of the ballet company. I didn't have anything special to give you, so I went to a friend's shop and picked out a ballet dress and a pair of pointe shoes for you. Oh! Oh, and a crystal ball too."
Since Lan Jingyan had already introduced her, she didn't need to introduce herself again. Instead, she directly presented the gift she had prepared for her.
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. This is a shop I frequent. I didn't expect it to be your friend's shop. Their workmanship is really superb, so exquisite."
This gift truly touched her heart. Dance was her life, and ballet tutus and shoes were both necessities and consumables for her. She was deeply moved, especially since she remembered that the first ballet tutus she received after becoming a principal dancer was a gift from her mentor.
"I'm glad you like it. Your friend's store has your purchase history, and these were all selected according to your size."
This color suits Alita perfectly; she looks like a princess in a palace, exuding elegance and grace.
"Oh my god! Sister-in-law, you actually managed to buy these ballet shoes? And you're even willing to give them to me?"
She, who was usually quiet and ladylike, couldn't help but become excited and boisterous. She looked very excited and excitedly spun around a few times while holding the pair of pointe shoes.
"My friend said she brought out all her most treasured possessions for me. Who else could handle them if not you? I can't dance ballet!"
Yan Xiluo chuckled and teased Alita. Indeed, she only knew a little about ballet and could hardly be considered a skilled dancer.
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind."
Alita stared longingly at Yan Xiluo, thinking her sister-in-law had superpowers! She had managed to get her hands on rare, collectible pointe shoes that were practically impossible to sell!
At this moment, her feelings of affection for Yan Xiluo increased even more.
"Isn't my brother good enough?"
This girl was won over by Luo Luo so quickly? I was so good to her before, but I never saw her look at me with such adoration!
"My brother is good, but my sister-in-law is even better!"
Tina didn't care whether he was hurt or not! She was just telling the truth: Yan Xiluo had superpowers, but Lan Jingyan didn't!
"You little ingrate."
Lan Jingyan jokingly teased her.
"Hehehe~"
Alita made a face at Lan Jingyan, as if to say, "Come and beat me up if you're not happy!"
When Lan Jingyan was with Yan Xiluo, he felt that Alita seemed to have become more lively. Could it be that her usual quiet and ladylike demeanor was just an act? Was this the real her?
Hehe~
Yan Xiluo couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
"Sister-in-law, this crystal ball is really special! Although I've bought a lot before, I think the one you gave me is the prettiest!"
Alita examined the crystal ball closely. It seemed to be filled with falling snow, blowing bubbles, and shimmering sequins. The music was classic ballet, and inside, ballerina stood on one leg on her toes, twirling in an attitude pose – it was utterly magical!
