After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the air by the riverbank had already turned crisp and cool. It was also time for Lan Yue to return to the capital, after all, she still had her studies to complete…
After the stormy events of yesterday, Lan Yue’s steps were somewhat unsteady today. Every few steps reminded her of the pain, causing her delicate eyebrows to furrow slightly.
“It’s all your doing! Knowing Yue’er had to leave today, you still wouldn’t cherish me properly yesterday…”
At this moment, Qing Luan naturally stood up for her dear friend. However, before she could finish speaking, she already saw Lan Yue blushing furiously. The redness gradually spread across her face. Compared to Qing Luan, this girl was indeed quite shy.
Listening to Qing Luan’s scolding, Xiao Yufan did not refute. Instead, he was thinking about how to properly discipline this girl tonight. Lately, Qing Luan had become increasingly audacious…
“Dear… dear husband, I have to go now. I’ll come back to see you soon!”
Lan Yue’s eyes showed more reluctance. In her heart, she had already regarded Xiao Yufan as the most important person in her life—one who stood equal to her older brother.
“Don’t worry. The capital isn’t far from Linjiang. It would only take a few hours to fly there. If you miss me, you can always come back anytime!”
Xiao Yufan once again pulled Lan Yue’s delicate figure into his arms, his lips curling into a confident smile. This profile was deeply etched into Lan Yue’s heart. This man was worth her giving everything for.
“Alright already, you two just got together and you’re already so lovey-dovey…”
Beside them, Qing Luan laughed teasingly. In any case, her plan had succeeded. Now that Lan Yue and Xiao Yufan were together, it was also a wish fulfilled for her.
“I’ll miss Qing Luan and Tian Xuan big sister too…”
Used to Qing Luan’s teasing, Lan Yue merely smiled gently. Although slightly embarrassed, she wasn’t overly awkward. She knew that yesterday’s events were largely due to the scheming of these two girls, so her feelings carried an extra dose of gratitude.
“In the capital, Jiayao and the others will take care of you. Keep an eye on Lantian Yuan and see if he’s actually doing anything useful. With Qing Yuanfeng gone and the Capital Club disbanded, it’s finally his time to shine in the business world!”
Xiao Yufan said softly, though clearly hesitated when mentioning Qing Yuanfeng. He still didn’t want to bring up this man in front of Qing Luan.
“I know…”
Lan Yue softly replied, her tone particularly tender. She could sense his concern, which brought a warm feeling to her heart. Suddenly, she felt a strong desire to stay.
But she had to return to the capital. However, even there, she could still feel Xiao Yufan’s presence. She could often go help out Yi Han big sister, so she wouldn’t be too lonely…
Without many words, Xiao Yufan believed Lan Yue could feel his heart. After all, he had just taken this girl’s innocence, and truthfully, he was reluctant to let her go either.
“Oh, right, what are you going to do about Liu Hua big sister? Don’t tell me you’re going to keep ignoring her. I clearly remember she’s your fiancée!”
Just as Lan Yue was turning to leave, she suddenly turned back, running up to Xiao Yufan and leaning close to his ear, whispering words only the two of them could hear. This sentence touched the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart.
“Liu Hua… I hope she’s doing alright now…”
Xiao Yufan murmured after a brief daze. Thinking of that woman, cold yet proud, gave him a slight headache. If there was any woman who could still touch his deepest nerves, it was undoubtedly Liu Hua.
Before he could recover from his hesitation, Lan Yue had already run far away. Only a tempting fragrance lingered in the air…
