Xia Xilan's ears turned red and she didn't know what to do.
"Hurry up and wash up. We'll return to Shanghai later.”King Yama smiled handsomely as he rubbed her hair, his eyes full of love.
Oh, right, I almost forgot about going back to Shanghai. Xia Xilan walked into the bathroom and found that her earlobes had turned red.
Zhe and Xia Xiaohe waited for them at the airport. He saw Xia Xilan and the handsome King of Hell walking on the road. Zhe heaved a sigh of relief. He had long known what happened to Xia Xilan that day, but seeing that her wounds had already healed, he was relieved.
Yan, Miss Xi Lan." Wang Zhe respectfully waited.
"Yan, Sister Xi Lan. You're finally back!" Little He was excited." Di Xi and the other boss went on a vacation to relax. You don't know how cool Xia Yeqi is!" If it weren't for Brother Zhe holding her down, I think she wouldn't even put you in her eyes!”
Xia Xilan frowned.”Then, she looked at Yan,"What did she do when I wasn't around?" She's such an arrogant person. If you don't deal with her, I'll be very suspicious.”
Yan's expression changed after she finished speaking. He hugged her shoulders tightly and snorted,"My heart can only hold you."
Then, he said," Xia Yeqi can't touch her. She's the main ingredient of the drug."”
Main ingredient? Xia Xilan frowned.”Impossible, the holder of the crystal box must be someone who could control the wind and rain in both the black and white paths or someone with a net worth of billions, such as Yan or Leng Yan.
King Yama appreciated Xia Xilan's wisdom and replied,""It's not her. It's her father who's about to die.”
Xia Xilan thought for a moment and said,""Xia Yeqi's father only has one daughter. All of her father's assets would naturally fall into her hands?”No wonder he was so arrogant.
"It can also be passed to her father's son-in-law.”Zhe added.
Hearing his words, Xia Xilan immediately reacted.""You want to be her father's son-in-law? Yan, don't forget that we were engaged!!”
Yan saw the care in her eyes and felt relieved."It's just a plan."
"I can't even plan!" Xia Xilan said domineeringly.
"Lan 'er, I've said it before. My heart can only hold you.”"Besides, everything I've done is just to get what you want the most.”
Yes, the crystal box was what she wanted the most, so he could get it at all costs and give it to her.
However, the crystal treasure box was just a boring idea she had when she was young. Now, she just wanted to live her life peacefully.
"Let's talk about this next time. Zhe, send Lan 'er back to the Poppy Pavilion to rest. Little He and I will go back to Di Xi first.”After saying that, Yan gently stroked her long hair and left the airport with Xia Xiaohe.
Xia Xilan watched Hades and Xia Xiaohe leave, but she didn't move for a long time.
"Miss Xi Lan?" Zhe could tell that something was wrong with her.
She suddenly looked at Zhe and murmured, Are we friends?”
He seemed to be able to guess that she was asking him to do something. He pursed his firm lips and nodded.
"Alright, send me to a place.”
The car stopped outside a beautiful villa.
Her hand stopped on the car handle. Xia Xilan hesitated for a moment, then turned around to look at Zhe." Please…" She paused." Please don't tell Yan that I was here. I'll be out soon."”
"Miss Xi Lan. I'm your slave. I'll do whatever you tell me to do. No need to beg."
Xia Xilan could see the determination in his eyes. She opened the car door, got out of the car, and took heavy steps.
This was the decision she had made after considering it for so long yesterday. She had planned to visit him when she and the King of Hell returned to Shanghai.
She rang Yi Yehuan's doorbell. As she expected, there was no one there.
So she walked to Leng Yan's door, but when she raised her hand, she hesitated. Was her arrival right or wrong?
"Do I have to consider visiting Yan?”Suddenly, a sentence rang out behind her, scaring Xia Xilan and turning her head around.
It was Zuo Sichen. He walked in front of her and took out his keys." You're still here, Yu Xiaolan.”
He looked at the beautiful Xia Xilan, opened the door, and handed her the porridge in his hand, but he had no intention of going in.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally took the porridge. Just as he turned to leave, Xia Xilan called out to him. After a long time, she said,""Zuo Sichen…thank you."
He turned around and gave her a smile before leaving. However, his heart ached.
She knocked on Leng Yan's door.
A hoarse roar came from inside,""Get lost."
To have the strength to shout, it seemed that his illness was not as serious as he had imagined. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and walked in.
"Didn't you hear me asking you to scram?”Although it was a sentence full of enthusiasm, it sounded so weak from his mouth.
"Leng Yan, aren't you eating again?”Xia Xilan pretended to be calm as she sat by his bed and removed his hand from her eyes. His heart began to tremble with excitement. He suddenly grabbed Xia Xilan's hand and opened his eyes."Xiao Lan! It was you! It really is you!"
She took Han Chenye's hand away and said,""Leng Yan, don't torture yourself like this."
He looked at Xia Xilan's delicate face and smiled weakly. Even his usually domineering eyes were now completely occupied by helplessness.""Yu Xiaolan…I've fallen into the bottomless abyss of love. I can't extricate myself.”
His last words shocked Xia Xilan. She didn't dare to look at him.
Seeing that she had turned her face away and did not dare to look at him, his pale lips moved slightly."Yu Xiaolan, look at me."
Looking at him? He probably didn't have the courage.
So Leng Yan raised his hand and pinched her chin with great effort, forcing her to look at him. However, he sadly realized that her eyes were tightly shut, and there were traces of tears at the corner of her eyes. He suddenly understood something. Was she so reluctant to look at him?
"Is it so painful to even look at me, Bu Xi?”He paused and his tone became heavier. There was more pain in his eyes." Then why did you hurt my heart again…"
Xia Xilan shook her head, but she didn't dare to open her eyes and let her tears fall freely. She was really afraid that after facing him, some things that had already been set in stone would be forcefully changed. She could not afford to be hurt.
Suddenly, she felt an extremely cold sensation on her lips. He used his bloodless lips to seal her lips.
Xia Xilan suddenly opened her eyes, only to meet a pair of enlarged amber eyes. What was different was that his eyes had a bit more tenderness.
"No!" Xia Xilan opened her eyes, but the powerless him used all his strength to hold her wrist tightly. He really didn't want to let go.
The cold kiss moved from his lips to her face, kissing her tears away, and then to her earlobe. A wave of heat came from beside her ear…
Hence, she used all her strength to break free from his restraints and slapped him in the face.
Leng Yan's eyes were filled with infinite coldness and pain as he roared,""Do you hate me that much?"
Xia Xilan tried her best to control her emotions.""Leng Yan, can we stop deceiving ourselves? You clearly know that we can't be together. You clearly know that I don't love you. You shouldn't have forced me to do these things!”
Forcing her?
A crystal tear rolled down his handsome and pale face. He said,""Yu Xiaolan, do you know what it means to lie to yourself? Two people clearly like each other, but they deliberately hide their feelings. That's self-deception, understand? The two of us are such people!"
"No!"
" I don't love you," Xia Xilan rebuked." I'm not lying to myself."”"The one I love is Yan. The one I love will always be Yan alone."”
Leng Yan hadn't eaten for three days, so he didn't have the strength to speak anymore. He could only look at her with those sad and resentful eyes.
Was that really the case?
The girl whom he longed to meet finally gave him such an answer.
It was already over. In the future, she would no longer stay in her own world. He would reject her in his heart, close the door, and stop thinking about her.
Leng Yan closed his eyes.
When did this beautiful girl move into his heart?
Was it the moment he met her?
Or was it the moment she hugged him?
All of this was no longer important…It really, really wasn't important anymore. He could only say,
"It hurts deeply because I love you too deeply.”
Seeing Leng Yan close his eyes as if he no longer wanted to see her, she slowly retreated."Leng Yan, take care of yourself." Xia Xilan said softly, her voice already hoarse.
He didn't say anything and kept his eyes closed. However, under his heavy eyelids, there was a hint of disappointment. Go, go, this isn't the first time you've run away from me.
After taking one last look at him, Xia Xilan put the porridge on the table. He turned around and left.
Just as she walked downstairs, she saw Zuo Sichen looking up from the window sill when he heard the sound of people coming downstairs. He happened to meet Xia Xilan's red eyes.
"What's wrong? Did Yan lose his temper at you? "Yan's temper is so bad, I'll go-" Zuo Sichen said and was about to go upstairs. Before he could finish, Xia Xilan grabbed his arm."No, Leng Yan didn't lose his temper at me…"
After saying that, her light brown eyes dimmed again." I'm going back.”
"Yu Xiaolan." Zuo Sichen stopped her and asked,"Do you still want to stay with Hades?"”
Xia Xilan didn't turn around. Her body was trembling."Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already opened the door and left the villa. She found the car in the villa complex and got into it.
" Miss Xilan..." Zhe saw the dazed Xia Xilan through the rearview mirror.
"Don't ask anything." Xia Xilan didn't see his cold face as he rejected her.
Therefore, he had no choice but to purse his lips and drive his car. Other than occasionally glancing at the pale Xia Xilan in the rearview mirror, he sent her to Poppy Pavilion.
"Miss, are you sure you want to get off now? Yan seems to have arrived." Zhe asked with concern.
Xia Xilan pursed her lips and looked out the window at the luxury car parked outside the villa. She opened the door and said to the person in the car before getting out,""Don't say anything."
Zhe agreed.
Xia Xilan collected her disappointment and forced a smile on her face as she walked into Poppy Pavilion. However, just as she stepped into the door, her eyes coincidentally landed on the two people standing on the balcony of the attic, a man and a woman. The woman snuggled intimately in the man's embrace, and the man's hand wrapped around her shoulder very appropriately.
What an enviable couple…
She walked upstairs without a word. If the servant hadn't called her name respectfully, the two of them wouldn't have known that the protagonist had returned.
"Lan 'er, why didn't you call me when you came back?”King Yama said gently to Xia Xilan, who was about to go upstairs. Xia Yeqi, who was standing beside him, listened with a smug look on her face.
"Yes." Xia Xilan faked a smile at them, then walked into the room and slammed the door shut.
Just as she closed the door, Zhe happened to step into Poppy Pavilion. He saw a man and a woman standing on the balcony and raised his eyebrows." Why is Miss Ye Qi so free to come here?"”
Yan merely curled the corners of his lips and released his hand that was wrapped around Xia Yeqi's shoulder. He walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.
"Haha." Xia Yeqi didn't look at Zhe, but sat down beside Hades and intimately hugged his arm.""I didn't come by myself. Yan asked me to come ~"
After saying that, she looked at Zhe with a smug smile.
Zhe leaned against the wall and took a sip of water with a cup in one hand." Yan probably has something to discuss with Miss Ye Qi, right?”He put down the cup and put his hands in his pockets. He had just taken two steps up the stairs when he turned back. His cold eyes outlined his handsome side profile." Yan, Miss Xi Lan's wedding dress has already been ordered in England. Tomorrow, Miss Xi Lan will go with you to see the blueprints."”
Of course, the latter knew what he meant. Xia Yeqi also knew that she did not get the prize, so she snorted and said provocatively,""Yan, didn't you say that you would go with me to see my father tomorrow?”
Hell King pursed his cold lips and didn't say anything.
At this time, Xia Xilan was thirsty and wanted to go downstairs to get some water. She happened to hear Xia Yeqi's words and frowned."Why are you still here?"
She looked as if she was asking the mistress to get lost.
Then, she took the water from the servant and slowly took two sips. She said thoughtfully,"Yan, do you think my wedding dress looks good in white? Or the beige one?" After saying that, his light brown eyes looked at King Yama like a deep pool, making one's hair stand on end.
"White, I prefer white.”
King Yama thought for a moment and answered seriously.
Satisfied with his answer, Xia Xilan crossed her arms and walked to the door. She looked at the blue sky and said calmly,""The sky is slowly turning dark. Xia Yeqi, aren't you going back yet? Or, your father is sick in bed and you want to talk about love here?”
What was going on? Were the three of them working together to chase her away?
Without waiting for Xia Yeqi's reply, she directly walked upstairs and threw down a dismissal order,""Zhe, send the guest out."
"Yes." Zhe walked towards Poppy as he spoke,"Miss Ye Qi, please!"”
"Yan!" Xia Yeqi asked the indifferent King of Hell for help.
The King of Hell pursed his cold and determined lips. With his hands in his pockets and his back facing her, he said," Xia Yeqi, no one can resist my wife's orders.”
He was missing a sentence,"Those who resist will die!"
