Lin Mengwu looked at Xiao Ran in a daze. There was silence all around, as if the air had frozen.
Xiao Ran looked at her with the same eyes. No one spoke again, no one moved. It was like a game. Whoever spoke first would lose.
After a long time, Lin Mengwu finally sighed.
Her eyes drooped slightly, and her long curly eyelashes cast a shadow over her face.
"Xiao Ran, I'm not worth it. If you've been looking for me for the past ten years just to find an answer, then I'm telling you now that I'm not worth it. So let go! Live the life you want, remove me from your life from now on, and never care about you again."
"But it has gone deep into the bone marrow. How to get rid of it? When it is removed, it must be connected with flesh and blood. It hurts so much."
"Then you have to remove it, because what doesn't belong to you grows in your body. Sooner or later, it will be doomed forever."
"Who does that belong to? Li Yunshen or that Zhan Jian? Is it true that you and Zhan Jian...? He's old enough to be your father. I don't believe it. I don't believe it."
Lin Mengwu chuckled with a sarcastic smile, "Don't you believe I'm Zhan Jian's lover? As you can see, he treats me very well. He takes me with him at all kinds of high-end occasions, a man with a young girl, and he's not related. What else can he be besides that kind of relationship? Xiao Ran, stop lying to yourself. I might just be a dream when you were a teenager. But dreams are only suitable for living in dreams. When I wake up, my eyes will be filled with misery. If I were you, stop now and go back to Rong City with tian xin to live your life, then I would still dance in your pure and flawless dreams."
"I don't believe you're this kind of person." Xiao Ran appraised again.
Lin Mengwu sighed, as if he didn't know how to explain it to him, so he believed it.
After a moment, she could only say slowly, "Although Zhan Jian is old enough to be my father, he is still very charming, isn't he? A man like him, let alone my age. Even younger girls like me, so you don't have to think of me as noble. I'm just a very vulgar person. He's strong enough and gentle enough. That's enough."
"So you fell in love with him?"
"Xiao Ran, you've never known me. You didn't know me before, and you don't know me now. What you think of as Lin Mengwu is just a perfect image in your mind. But I'm not perfect, so I'm sorry, I disappointed you. Go back! Don't look for me again."
After that, Lin Mengwu stood up as if he was about to leave.
Zhan Jian's men quickly found her here. They were surprised to see her and immediately called out to Miss Lin. Then, call Zhan Jian.
When he saw Xiao Ran, he looked at him warily.
Lin Mengwu said, "An old friend, just have a casual chat. Don't make things difficult for others."
Zhan Jian's men immediately lowered their heads and stepped aside.
It seemed that they respected and even feared lin mengwu.
Zhan Jian came soon, but Li Yunshen followed.
As before, li yun said to Lin Mengwu with a cold face, "Wu, come to me. I'll take you home."
This time, Lin Mengwu finally had a reaction. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Ran's buffer that she was not so shocked to see Li Yunshen.
So he spoke slowly and said with a sneer, "Mr. Li is such a joker. Take me home? Do you know where my house is? I don't need you to take me home."
"Wu, are you going to be with him?" Li Yunshen gritted his teeth and asked.
Xiao Ran looked at him and sighed, saying that Li Yunshen had been calm for so many years. But in front of Lin Mengwu, he could not help but get angry.
Lin Mengwu snorted and smiled. He put his arms around Zhan Jian's and said to Zhan Jian, "Let's go!"
Zhan Jian smiled and nodded, patting the back of her hand to take her away.
Li Yunshen wanted to rush over, but Zhan Jian's men stopped him.
They had already fought just now, and more importantly, Lin Mengwu refused to go with him. So even if he sent someone over to grab it now, he might not be able to bring Lin Mengwu out.
Li Yunshen's eyes darkened as he watched Lin Mengwu being taken away by Zhan Jian. His fists were clenched tightly, and the tiger's mouth was slightly sore from his grip.
"Is this the first time you've seen her in so many years?" Xiao Ran finally stood up and walked to Li Yunshen and said slowly.
Li Yunshen was stunned and turned to look at him.
When she saw him, she narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice after a while, "Are you Xiao Ran?"
Xiao Ran chuckled, "Yes, I'm Xiao Ran. We haven't seen each other for... Many years!"
At least not ten years.
At first, Li Yunshen didn't believe him, so he would appear around his house every once in a while and even monitor his phone.
So at first, he didn't dare to contact Lin Mengwu, let alone meet Lin Mengwu.
This was something he once hated very much. At that time, he felt that if there was no such entanglement as Li Yunshen. Perhaps, he would not lose Lin Mengwu's whereabouts.
Then he went to the army, and occasionally Li Yunshen looked for him.
All those years, he watched Li Yunshen change from a proud young man to more and more calm, but his eyes became more and more gloomy, and gradually lost his usual look. In fact, she was not unmoved.
But they had the same goal and were destined to be rivals in love.
So what if he was touched by his infatuation? He couldn't help him.
Then, somehow, Li Yunshen stopped looking for him. He had also lost news of Li Yunshen, and more importantly, he was too lazy to ask.
At the same time, he had already lost news of Lin Mengwu.
All his energy was focused on finding Lin Mengwu, so how could he care about his rival?
He couldn't even remember how many years he hadn't met Li Yunshen. Compared to the last time they met, Li Yunshen had changed a lot.
The powerful aura on his body reminded him of his father, Li Chengyan.
No matter how reluctant Li Yunshen was, no matter how much he denied it, he could not change the blood relationship.
He was Li Chengyan's son and inherited his looks and momentum. After all these years of experience, he was even more powerful than his father. Because he was young and experienced, his face could no longer be described as handsome.
But every woman who saw him couldn't help but be attracted to him.
Unfortunately, the person he wanted to attract the most was indifferent.
This was the most painful thing in life. No matter how rich, powerful, and handsome you are, the person you love doesn't love you. All these good conditions are a joke.
Xiao Ran laughed, first softly, then loudly.
Like a madman, she laughed until tears came out.
