Paper-thin love 1st place secret lover Knockoff Ferrari

  Yi Shui Han then scoffed at Yi Tian Ze's words: "When did I ever say I'd choose a wife for you? Shouldn't the main character of that day's marriage selection have been me instead? The woman I chose myself is naturally someone I'll marry myself, when did it become your turn?"

  "That's enough! Yi Xuan Shan growled in a low voice with a dark face: "I let you two come back to discuss how to solve this matter, not to fight over who will marry... that... Gu An Lan!"

  Yi Tianze couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this, and looked at his father to ask: "How can it be resolved? Online friends have already dug up Gu Anlan's identity, the eldest daughter of Gu Yunbo, the boss of Boya Real Estate. Is there a better way than marrying her?"

  "What? Gu Anlan is Gu Yunbo's daughter?" Shao Hanyan exclaimed in surprise on the side, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "No wonder, bringing out the video at this time."

  "It's indeed true that dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes, a mouse's child is best at digging holes." Yi Xuan Shan coldly snorted on the side: "In the past, Gu Yun Bao was a poor young man, he used all his tricks to marry Qin Shi into the Lin family. Now his daughter is also..."

  "Gu Anlan is now taking out the video, it's not necessarily that she really wants to marry into our Yi family," Yi Tianze said lightly, picking up where his father left off.

  "Does this still need you to remind me?" Yi Xuan Shan glared at his eldest son: "Otherwise, I'd say that Gu Yun Bo's daughter is not ordinary in terms of her mind, city, and methods. If she really just wanted to marry into the Yi family, she should have released this video a few days after the matchmaking meeting ended and we didn't go to her house to propose. But she didn't release it early or late, but waited until Xuan Ri Real Estate withdrew from Bo Yao, and until Shui Han and Yu Wei were about to get engaged, then released it... This is simply..."

  "Alright, Dad, I'm the one who made the trouble..."

  "Do you still have the face to speak?" Yi Xiu Shan immediately shifted his anger to another son, "What did I instruct you on the day of the matchmaking meeting? Yu Wei was also there, and I told you to put that ring on Yu Wei's finger, but you refused to listen."

  Yi Xiu Shan said to this point, his face turned red with anger. He turned sideways and looked at his wife sitting on the other side: "And you, what did you go and say that sentence to that woman for? What do you mean by 'the Yi family has made up their minds'?"

  Shaohanyan was also extremely annoyed by this video, and she still had some self-blame in her heart. But seeing her husband scolding her made her angry too.

  "What's wrong with me?" Shao Hanyan's voice also rose by two decibels, shouting: "You saw the scene at that time, didn't you? That Gu Anlan kept asking to take off the ring, making it clear that she was not giving face to the Yi family, looking down on the Yi family. At this time, if I don't say a few words to save face, wouldn't she just take off the ring and throw it away? Wouldn't the Yi family lose face then? The second young master of the Yi family, the CEO of Haimi Technology, being looked down upon by an unknown little woman in public, abandoned in front of everyone... do you think this is dignified? Is the Yi family's face shining with infinite glory?"

  Yi Xiu Shan was scolded by his wife, and after careful consideration, he indeed thought so. So he said again: "In general, Gu Anlan has been setting up a trap from the beginning to let us drill in, her behavior of taking down the ring at that time may be waiting for Huan Yan to say those words..."

  "Dad, the online video hasn't been investigated clearly yet, how can you be so sure it was Gu Anlan who put it up? " Yi Tianze carefully reminded his father: "That night at the matchmaking meeting, there were many people present, maybe someone else saw Shui Han and Yu Wei's engagement and felt sorry for Gu Anlan..."

  "What's wrong with you?" Yi Xuan Shan sneered at Yi Tian Ze, "That night, after the matchmaking meeting ended, everyone's mobile phone cameras were collected and deleted the recordings and photos of that evening. Each person went through strict security checks, all the women participating in the selection, service staff, even including the host and guests, were all checked before being let go. And in the entire venue, Gu An Lan was the last to leave. Later, the security guard said that she left when the security personnel had already gone, so who else could have kept the recordings of that evening except her?"

  Yi Tianze immediately fell silent. If that was the case, then this video was indeed uploaded by Gu Anlan himself. His phone suddenly received a message from his special assistant Sun Xing, who told him that they had checked the IP address and confirmed that the video was indeed uploaded by Gu Anlan personally. The newspaper's side kept the informant confidential, but it could be confirmed with certainty that it should be Gu Anlan himself.

  His mind involuntarily conjured up the image of Gu Anlan, her quiet demeanor while fishing by his side, her silly expression while playing cards, her lively appearance when swinging a golf club, her calm and composed manner when he took her to charity galas, and her unruffled yet detached air when Ling Yuwei deliberately humiliated her...

  Was everything about her before just an act?

  It's just as Father said, Gu Anlan is more like Gu Yunbo than her sister Gu Anxin, exceling in plotting, scheming and manipulating others.

  "Is your meeting over?" Yi Shuihan, who had been silent all along, stood up and said with a hint of impatience, "I'm leaving after the meeting."

  "You're the key figure, are you leaving?" Yi Xiu Shan was so angry that he pointed at his second son: "That night, if it wasn't for your wrong move of putting the ring on Gu An Lan's hand, things wouldn't have turned out like this and become a passive situation."

  "I don't know what was wrong with me at that time," Yi Shuihan said, slightly tired: "I thought the tomato-filled dumplings she made were delicious back then. Doesn't Dad also like to eat tomato-filled pancakes?"

  "you..." Yi Xiumu's anger was so great that he pointed at his second son with a trembling hand, but then he couldn't say another word.

  Shao Hanyan looked at her husband, who was shaking with rage, and quickly pulled out a mocking smile: "Is that right? You're allowed to like tomato-filled pancakes, but my son isn't allowed to like tomato-filled dumplings? What kind of logic is this?"

  "The water is cold...... I......" Yi Xuan Shan looked at his son's calm face, wanting to say something, but then glanced at his wife and didn't say anything else.

  "My dad has always been good to me," Yi Shuihan said calmly: "I still remember when I was a kid, every summer vacation, my dad liked to take me with him on business trips..."

  "It's freezing outside, don't say anything more," Shao Hanyan first stopped her second son, then came over to push him towards the door: "Didn't you just say you were busy? Hurry up and go be busy."

  "What about this matter?" Yi Shuihan walked to the door and turned back, his eyes falling on his father.

  "That blind date gathering was originally held for your brother, so it's only natural that he should take responsibility. You don't have to worry about it, we'll just announce that your brother was ill and couldn't attend the matchmaking meeting in person, and you went on his behalf."

  Yi Xiu Shan finished speaking and waved his hand, indicating that his second son should hurry up and leave.

  Yi Shuihan couldn't help but laugh at these words, and the laughter was clearly tinged with sarcasm. Looking at his parents, he said: "I said it from the beginning, the protagonist of that night has changed to me, so I naturally chose myself to take responsibility. I couldn't have caused trouble and let my brother bear the blame, could I? Could I have made a mess and let my brother clean up after me?"

  Yi Tianze furrowed his brow slightly, looking at Yi Shuihan and saying: "Are you blaming me for running away with my tail between my legs on the day of the marriage selection conference? And letting you help me clean up the mess?"

  Yi Shuihan remained silent and did not respond to Yi Tianze's words.

  Yi Tianze smiled wryly and said faintly: "Since that's the case, then I'll pick up the toilet paper you left behind after wiping your butt, okay?"

  "No need," Yi Shuihan's voice was calm and powerful: "I'll pick up the toilet paper I used to wipe my butt myself, so I won't bother big brother."

  "Cut the nonsense!" Yi Xiu Shan glared at Yi Shui Han fiercely: "You and Yu Wei are about to get engaged soon, just take good care of your feelings with Yu Wei and don't interfere with this matter anymore! Let your big brother handle it."

  "Can emotions be kept just by keeping them?" Yi Shuihan's face quickly flooded with sarcasm: "All these years, didn't my mom keep her own emotions well? But did she... did they all keep them?"

  Shaohanyan started listening to Yishuihan talking about her mother, thinking it was about herself, but Yishuihan's last sentence "Did they all keep it?" thoroughly crushed the little hope she had.

  For the past five years, she has been trying to make up for her son's loss. Even if she knew that Ling Yuwei and Dong Jiahui were connected, she pretended not to know. As long as her son was happy and could live a happy life, it didn't matter if she had to tolerate Ling Yuwei.

  After all, Ling Yuwei is Ling Yuwei, and Dong Jiahui is Dong Jiahui!

  However, for five years, no matter how hard she tried to please this son, Shui Han had always been indifferent, although he had changed his original way of addressing her from "Dama" to "Mama", in his heart, he still...

  It's all because of that woman Dong Jiahui. If she hadn't been meddling in the middle, how would the relationship between Shui Han and her mother have become so difficult to reconcile?

  Thinking of his son being independent outside, thinking that he refused to accept the Yi family's property, thinking that he had said he was not a member of the Yi family, thinking...

  If catering to her son makes him feel like she's being good to him, then so be it. She really can't think of how to please this son whom she had hated for 20 years.

  So, Shao Hanyan said: "Since Shui Han insisted on taking responsibility himself, let him solve it himself. He was right, that night he put the ring on Gu Anlan."

  Yi Xiu Shan's face turned red with rage as he scolded his wife harshly, "Are you also muddled like Water Han? Can he be responsible for this matter? Yu Wei and his wedding is just around the corner, while Tian Ze..."

  "It doesn't matter to me anyway," Yi Tianze said indifferently, taking over the conversation, then smiled and told Yi Shuihan, "Second brother shouldn't worry about this kind of thing, just focus on getting engaged to Yu Wei. As for me, I was originally going to get married too, and there wasn't anyone specific in mind, so it's all the same who I marry."

  "Is it really meaningless?" Yi Shuihan's mouth quickly pulled out a sneer: "If it's meaningless, why did you abandon the dozens of beauties at the marriage selection conference and rush to England in a hurry? Is that your expression of being meaningless?"

  Yi Tianze couldn't help but laugh out loud at this, and with a hint of helplessness, he opened his mouth: "Okay, now is not the time to discuss whether it's meaningful or meaningless. Now is the time to discuss how to solve this matter. Faced with the current situation, at least I am more suitable to marry Gu Anlan than you."

  "How come you're more suitable than me?" Yi Shuihan sneered at Yi Tianze's words: "Just because you're the president of Xu Ri Real Estate? The heir of the Yi family?"

  "I'll marry Gu Anlan, at least I won't hurt anyone," Yi Tianze directly ignored the sarcasm in Yi Shuihan's words and pointed out incisively: "If you insist on taking responsibility for this matter, then you will inevitably cause harm to Yu Wei!"

  "That's my own business, no need for you to share the burden," Yi Shuihan completely ignored Yi Tianze's generous offer of assistance at this time and insisted on taking it all upon himself.

  "Enough!" Yi Xiu Shan shouted slightly irritably: "You two brothers, can't you stop entangling yourselves in the issue of marrying Gu Anlan? Any problem in this world can be solved with money. Now that Gu Anlan has brought out such a video, isn't it still about money? If we just give her some money and let her release a statement saying she voluntarily gives up marrying into the Yi family, wouldn't that be fine? Besides, at the marriage selection conference, she already showed that she didn't want that ring."

  Yi Tianze and Yi Shuihan both fell silent, and after a long while, Yi Tianze spoke up in a light tone: "Dad, if we really have to use money to solve the problem, then I reckon this sum of money won't be small..."

  "This I know," Yi Xiu Shan became slightly annoyed, then shouted to his wife: "Han Yan, you go and meet with Gu An Lan, test her tone, see just how big of a mouth that lion of hers can open."

  Yi Shui Han shrugged and walked out the door, this family meeting was no different from not having one at all, it was just the old man venting his anger and scolding them all.

  Yi Shuihan had just reached the car when Yi Tianze followed him, giving him a slightly dissatisfied glare: "In the future, don't interfere with my affairs!"

  Yi Tianze smiled and came over to pat his shoulder, with a serious face saying: "I'm not following blindly, what I said is the truth. Yu Wei has been by your side for five years, it's not easy. If Gu Anlan will cause you trouble, let me take care of it, besides, she also..."

  "That's enough!" Yi Shuihan was too lazy to listen to him continue, and coldly said: "I will handle my own affairs well, don't let mom go find her either, I'll go find her myself."

  Yi Tianze's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Yi Shuihan, who was getting into the car with a nonchalant expression, and said, "Gu Anlan chose to make his move at this time, that's even more poisonous than a scorpion. Be careful not to get stung by the scorpion."

  Yi Shuihan has already sat in the driver's seat, looking out of the car window at Yi Tianze with a faint tone: "Even if it's a poisonous scorpion, I won't let you have it, so don't waste your heart, besides, what you're wasting is all fake!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately rolled up the car window and ignored Yi Tianze standing there. He quickly drove away, his affairs were his own decision, no need for others to intervene and worry unnecessarily.

  Yi Tianze's hands were inserted into his pockets, watching the departing horse herder, thinking of Yi Shuihan saying he was fake-hearted, and a hint of bitter smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

  Are you kidding me?

  Would he have sent someone to investigate Boyao if it weren't for him? Would he have let Gu Anlan get close if it weren't for him? If it weren't for him...

  However, it seems that the block of yew wood that resembles Gu Anlan is also not bad. If it weren't for him, would he be able to maintain such a distance from Gu Anlan?

  Forget it, whether he's sincere or not, he's got a lot on his plate. Besides, Bo Yao isn't planning to make a move either, so let Yi Shui Han deal with his own problems himself.

  An Lan didn't go to art school today, and the art center also took a leave of absence. She spent the whole day hiding in her mother's study on the second floor of Qingyuan, opening her laptop and facing the comments pouring out from various websites.

  Comments started naturally focusing on criticizing Yi family for being untrustworthy, most people were attacking Yi family, Haimi mobile phones and Xuri Real Estate.

  However, after it was dug out in the afternoon that she was the daughter of Boguang's real estate agent, Yun Bo, the comments immediately changed. Some people suspected that her purpose of putting this video online was malicious, and even said that she deliberately waited until Yi Shuihan and Ling Yuwei were about to get engaged before releasing the video, clearly intending to ruin someone else's feelings and marriage.

  Of course, there are also some self-proclaimed rational people who claim to be neutral and consider the issue from a fair perspective. They think that since this matter was caused by Yi Tianze, it should be ended by him. Therefore, the engagement between Yi Shuihan and Ling Yuwei does not need to be cancelled, and the Yi family cannot go back on their word. Yi Tianze, the president of Xu Ri Real Estate, should take full responsibility and marry Gu Anlan, or at least give her an explanation, rather than ignoring her like he is doing now.

  An Lan had thought that putting this video online would definitely have some effect, but she didn't expect the effect to be so great, the reaction to be so strong. Some people blamed Yi Shuihan, some blamed Yi Tianze, some blamed the Yi family, and of course, some also blamed her, blaming her father Gu Yunbo.

  These people are mixed in the comments, and have already made a mess of it. The whole comment section is filled with foul language and can't be looked at directly.

  However, there is a common point in these vicious comments, that is, everyone is sympathizing with Ling Yuwei, defending Ling Yuwei, and comforting Ling Yuwei.

  In this incident, Ling Yuwei is the victim. She has paid for five years for Yi Shuihan, silently accompanying him and waiting for him. Some people even revealed that Ling Yuwei helped Haimi mobile phone to shoot advertisements for free.

  In short, Ling Yuwei is innocent. So even if this video is played out, more netizens are calling on the Ye family to take responsibility for Gu Anlan, and calling on Yi Tianze to take responsibility for Gu Anlan, but very few people are calling on Yi Shuihan to abandon Ling Yuwei and take responsibility for Gu Anlan.

  Gu Yunbo called her up at noon, and on the phone, he couldn't help but praise her: "An Lan, good job! Your move was a surprise victory. Of course, Yi Shuihan is about to get engaged to his girlfriend of five years, so he can't cancel the engagement and marry you. So, remember, now's your chance, forget about compensation, as long as Xu Ri Real Estate gives Bo Yao Investment..."

  In his father's lengthy speech, only a few sentences were about her, and the rest was all about Bo Ya's current situation and difficulties, and how much he hoped An Lan could help Bo Ya with this public opinion.

  Compared to her father Gu Yunbo's cunning and selfishness, only thinking of himself, her mother Qin Xinyi was more practical. At lunchtime, Qin Xinyi told her: "Anlan, the power of this video is not that great, of course, the Yi family won't ignore it either. If they send someone to talk to you, don't be too arrogant. If Bo Yao can't take care of it, as long as he can keep the Qin Garden safe, that's enough."

  An Lan nodded, she also thought so. Bo Yao didn't care about it at all, and whether this video could make the Yi family compromise or take action to protect Qin Garden was still a question.

  An Lan thought that the person who came to talk to her about this matter was either a lawyer from Xu Ri Real Estate or a lawyer from Hai Mi Mobile, and if not, it should be an assistant of Yi Tianze or Yi Shuihan.

  However, in fact, after eight o'clock at night, she received a call from Yi Shuihan himself.

  When the phone rang, she answered it naturally. Since she had just returned to her home country and few people knew this number, those who could call her were naturally acquaintances.

  Press the answer key, just a "hello", and Yishuihan's voice came from the mobile phone: "I'm waiting for you under the Bodhi tree at the back door of your house, come out."

  She was slightly stunned and reacted, but before she could respond, the phone rang with a "beep beep beep" indicating that Yi Shuihan had hung up, clearly not wanting to discuss things over the phone.

  She took a small bag and came down from upstairs. Qin Xuan had just finished setting the dinner on the table, and seeing her come down, he hurriedly said: "I was just about to go up and call you. Lin Shu's wife from Yunyuan returned home today, so why don't you have some vegetarian food here with me?"

  Qin Xuan has been a vegetarian since she started practicing Buddhism ten years ago, so she usually doesn't go to Yunyuan for meals and lives alone in Qingyuan.

  An Lan shook her head: "Mom, I won't eat anymore. I have to go out for a while and probably... will be back late."

  "Do you have to go out at this time?" Qin Xuan immediately tensed up: "An Lan, such big news was broadcast online today, I don't know if there are any entertainment reporters at the entrance of Xuan Garden now, what if..."

  "I'll go out the back door," An Lan quickly said to her mother: "The back door is usually not open, Yu Ji doesn't know there's a door there at all. After going out, I'll pass through that deserted alley, and this way I can avoid Yu Ji."

  Qin Xuan nodded slightly, and when An Lan changed her shoes at the door and asked again: "Is it someone from the Yi family who has come?"

  "Yes," An Lan responded with a reassuring glance at her mother before turning around and heading towards the back door of the Qingyuan Garden.

  The back door had just opened a crack, she wanted to see if there were any guards outside, but as soon as her head poked out a little, a helmet was handed over, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, she quickly put it on.

  The door opened a bit wider, and he slipped out. Sure enough, there was a motorcycle parked at the entrance, accompanied by a slightly familiar low voice: "Hurry up! There are paparazzi!"

  She had one foot on the bike and hadn't even sat down properly when it shot off like an arrow, startling her into a cry of surprise as she instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around the rider's muscular waist.

  The familiar voice, the familiar scent of cedar wood, and this familiar posture of cycling wildly, all made her know in 0.1 seconds that it was him - Yi Shuihan!

  In Toronto, she had no experience riding a motorcycle with him, but she did have plenty of experience riding bicycles. However, the first time she rode his bicycle was an unforgettable memory for her lifetime.

  That day I was reading books in the library until late at night, just as I was about to leave, I received his call: "Anna, where are you?"

  "She went to the library to read books, but she has already finished reading and will be back soon." She reported truthfully to him.

  "Never mind the ride, I'll come pick you up." He exclaimed excitedly over the phone: "Anna, I've got a car! A knockoff Ferrari!"

  She hadn't even reacted yet, and he had already hung up the phone on that end. She walked to the library entrance in a daze, still thinking to herself how poor he was, where did he get the money for a car? And it's a knockoff Ferrari too?

  However, when he appeared in front of her driving his "car", she couldn't help but burst out laughing. It turned out that the so-called "Ferrari" was actually a dilapidated bicycle.

  He saw her smile and smiled along with her, patting the seat next to him: "Hurry up and come on, this is your special seat!"

  She has taken many vehicles in her life, but this is the first time she's ever ridden a scooter. Although she does know how to ride a bicycle, the ones she rides are mountain bikes that don't have back seats.

  She sat on the back seat of the bicycle with some excitement, and couldn't help but tease: "William, if this broken bike breaks down halfway, we're dead for sure!"

  An Lan had expected that Yi Shui Han's broken-down bicycle might break down on the road, but she hadn't expected them to run into bad people on the road.

  A group of young men with different hair colors blocked their way on the road. The blond-haired leader threw away half of his cigarette and stepped on it: "William, pay back your debt!"

  He sat on his bicycle and calmly looked at these five or six thugs, saying: "Didn't I already pay you back last week?"

  "That's the principal, what about the interest?" The black ghost behind Huang Mao shouted while waving his paws: "We're not a charity, hurry up and pay the interest together!"

  "I'll pay the principal and interest together," Yi Shuihan still faced those people calmly, but asked softly to the one behind her: "Anna, can you ride a bike?"

  "I only rode a mountain bike before," An Lan replied truthfully, "and that was still in the country, and I only rode it twice. After coming to Toronto, I haven't ridden one."

  "That's enough," Yishuihan lightly laughed and commanded, "Now, hug my waist tightly!"

  "Are you going to run away?" An Lan suddenly understood and couldn't help but remind him, "How fast can this broken bicycle of yours go?"

  "Then let you experience its speed!" Before the words of Yi Shuihan had fallen, his foot stepped on the vehicle and shot out like an arrow off the string.

  An Lan was startled and her hand, which had been lightly grasping his clothes, suddenly steadied his waist.

  The hoodlums only reacted when they saw the bicycle speeding away, and Huang Mao waved his big hand: "Want to run? Chase for me!"

  In the evening, the lights in the alley were dim, and there were vendors on both sides of the alley. When they saw this bicycle whizzing by like lightning, they were frightened and quickly dodged out of the way, followed by curses.

  "Why ride so fast? Hurrying to pick up money?"

  "Damn, riding a bicycle so fast, does he think it's a Ferrari?"

  Yes, very soon, extremely soon!

  Anlan thought that although it was a bicycle, Yi Shuihan must have been driving it like a Ferrari! That's why he had such an unexpected speed!

  "Is this fast enough?" Crazy cyclist Yi Shuihan surprisingly still had the leisure to ask for her opinion.

  "It's extremely fast! I don't know how many times faster than the buses I've taken," An Lan replied, turning her head to look back and couldn't help but say to him, "However, you might need to step on it even more, that broken van is catching up!"

  "Hold on to my waist!" He calmly commanded, and then accelerated this bicycle even faster!

  Her hands quickly wrapped around his waist, through the thin fabric, her palms felt the firmness of his muscles beneath.

  The scent of sandalwood on him mixed with his sweat was blown into her nostrils by the evening breeze, faint yet pleasant.

  Yi Shuihan's hands gripped the handlebars of the bicycle tightly, just like grasping the steering wheel of a Ferrari. The bicycle under his feet was like a Ferrari stepping on the accelerator, racing forward like lightning in alleys big and small.

  The scenery on both sides of the alley flew rapidly in front of Anlan, and the evening wind filled her ears with a whooshing sound. Anlan finally couldn't help but let out a loud cry: "Ah......"

  Through the big streets and small alleys... turning left and right, how many big streets and small alleys had she passed through? An Lan didn't know, because this fake Ferrari was too fast, she didn't have time to calculate.

  Anlan only knew that they scared away countless pedestrians, knocked over several fruit stalls, and even knocked down a small chicken coop in a vegetable market. Dozens of little chickens ran out, chirping and screaming in the alleyway. Someone's dog heard the sound of the chickens and barked loudly. Curses and angry shouts filled the air, creating a chaotic scene that could rival the one where Du Fei was chased through the market by Aunt Qiong Yao.

  Ke Yi's driving was much more elegant than Du Fei's, he never fell down from start to finish, and his knockoff Ferrari drove very steadily, completely ignoring the chickens and dogs running around in the alley, only focusing on moving forward again and again...

  An Lan tightly hugged his waist, her entire face stuck to his back. At that moment, she suddenly felt an unparalleled sense of security leaning on this man's body.

  And he had a faint scent of cedar wood and sweat on him, completely different from the traditional masculine cologne smell. This cedar wood scent was very pure and unique, very manly!

  The motorcycle swiftly darted in and out of alleys, speeding down the main street like lightning, weaving through traffic like a fish, seizing every gap, rushing forward, and provoking a chorus of angry shouts.

  Anlan's hands tightly encircled Yishui Han's robust waist, the scenery on both sides of the street whizzing by in front of her eyes. The streetlights along the road seemed to be scattered like pearls and then cleverly strung together, swiftly flashing before Anlan's eyes.

  "Screech..." The motorcycle made a piercing sound due to the sudden braking and friction with the cement road, An Lan was still in shock, the motorcycle stopped but people hadn't reacted yet.

  Yi Shui Han lowered his head, gazing at the pair of slender white hands tightly encircling his waist, and a faint smile quietly rose to his face.

  An Lan didn't come to her senses until Yi Shuihan's large hand covered hers, at which point she quickly let go of the arm around his waist. However, in that instant of withdrawal, their hands touched, and her fingertips felt a sudden numbness, as if they had been electrocuted.

  She hastily took off the helmet on her head, only to find that the motorcycle was parked under an ancient tree, and beside the ancient tree was a quiet alley, in front of which stood a restaurant called 'Honey Workshop'.

  "Go ahead," Yi Shuihan had already parked the motorcycle and took the helmet from her hand to lock it in the trunk.

  An Lan nodded and walked towards 'Mifang', the doorman had already opened the door waiting for her arrival, perhaps because she was on the headlines today, the doorman's gaze stayed on her face.

  An Lan felt a bit uneasy and quickened her pace as she walked in, thinking that even if the restaurant wasn't crowded, there should still be some customers.

  However, upon entering, the restaurant was found to be even more secluded than the alley outside. The entire small restaurant was surprisingly quiet, with not a single person in the booths or at the tables, only two waiters quietly waiting on customers.

  An Lan was perplexed, and Yi Shui Han had already walked to her side, seeing her bewildered expression, he explained faintly: "This restaurant has been booked by me for tonight."

  Oh, no wonder! She suddenly realized that Yishuihan probably didn't want him to meet her tonight and have it reported in the news or headlines again tomorrow.

  Compared to a more melancholic hammock, Anlan chose the tassel sofa's card seat. At this moment, she didn't have the mood to hang herself in mid-air, because her heart had always been suspended in mid-air, unable to find a place to land.

  The waiter came up quickly and asked what he wanted. An Lan didn't have the mood to eat, so she said lightly: "Just bring me a glass of plain water."

  The waiter looked at her slightly surprised and then politely asked Yishuihan: "What would you like to have, Mr. Yi?"

  Yi Shui Han seemed to be in a good mood, he flipped through the menu and ordered: "Lychee wood deep well roasted goose rice, raw and cooked dragon bone soup, give Miss Gu a portion of sea urchin fried rice, and add a portion of ginseng stewed bamboo chicken."

  The waiter took note and brought the menu, politely saying "please wait a moment" before tactfully retreating, while another waiter quickly and steadily delivered two cups of white water and also quietly left.

  The empty restaurant was left with only the two of them, and An Lan suddenly felt that the air didn't seem to be circulating as smoothly as before. A formless pressure was coming from all directions, almost suffocating her.

  She was organizing the language in her mind, but for a moment she didn't know how to start, fortunately Yi Shuihan took the lead and opened his mouth, rescuing her from this quiet and oppressive atmosphere.

  "Tell me, what does it mean that you're releasing a video like this at this time?" Yi Shuihan's voice was light and soft, yet clearly interrogative.
