Looking at her watery eyes, which were filled with fear, Huo Yan knew that she wasn't in the mood to continue.
He took a deep breath and kissed her soft lips before getting up. "You sleep first. I'll go to the bathroom."
He went back to the bathroom. Didn't he just take a shower?
Gu Lan's eyes shone with doubt as she watched Huo Yan get up. He stood tall and spirited under the towel.
His cheeks suddenly turned red, and he suddenly understood what he was doing in the bathroom.
"Yes." She turned her back to him.
Looking at her snow-white shoulders, Huo Yan almost couldn't control himself and pounced on her.
Pulling the blanket over her, he almost ran for his life.
The next day, early in the morning.
In the dressing room.
Gu Lanqing had already finished her makeup and was waiting for the press conference to begin.
Just now, Huo Yan had been accompanying her. He had some urgent matters to attend to, so he temporarily left.
She looked into the mirror. The makeup was exquisite and the woman wore a white dress. Anxiety once again appeared in her eyes.
Did he really have to announce her secret marriage to Huo Yan?
She still felt uneasy in her heart.
With a "peng" sound, the dressing room door was pushed open.
Her face ashen, Shen Bi Zhu stepped into the dressing room.
"Ever since your parents died, when you shamelessly came to the Huo family to find Zichen, I could already see that you were a shameless, skillful little bitch after living with Huo Yan at such a young age!" Shen Bi Zhu, who had always regarded herself as a wealthy lady, cursed.
This wasn't all, she stretched out her hand and slapped Gu Lan Qing's face.
Gu Lan Qing gripped her wrist, her clear eyes staring straight at Shen Bi Zhu. "Aunt Huo, how do you know that Huo Yan and I used to live together?"
Shen Bi Zhu laughed coldly when faced with Gu Lan Qing's suspicious gaze. Her face did not reveal any fluctuations as she replied, "What's strange about that? There is no wall in the world that does not let through the wind! "
She pulled her hand away and looked at Gu Lanqing with a cold expression. "But I underestimated your ability." "However, when I was young, I lived with Huo Yan for three months, and when I grew up, I was picked up by Huo Yan a few times.
Although this matter wasn't big, she and Old Master Huo knew about it.
The only reason why she was here today was because Huo Yan was using the Shen family to threaten her. If she didn't attend the press conference, the Shen family would be bankrupt!
Gu Lan Qing didn't pay attention to Shen Bi Zhu's scolding. There was still doubt in her eyes as she looked at Shen Bi Zhu.
Because her second uncle had always been looking for her, she was afraid that he would kill all of them. That was why he and Huo Yan had always stayed in the old apartment that their parents had left behind, rarely going out.
How did Aunt Huo know about this?
Shen Bi Zhu looked at Gu Lan Qing. On her fair face, her eyebrows were like mountains, her eyes like water, her nose was exquisite, and her lips were pink and tender. Although her facial features weren't too beautiful, they were very exquisite.
Especially her pure and pure temperament. Even though she had immersed herself in the entertainment circle for so many years, it had not faded. She was like an orchid that did not stain the world.
How could he not understand why Gu Lan Qing had such a clean temperament? It was Zi Chen who had protected her five years ago, and Huo Yan who had protected her in the dark five years later.
Zichen …
Shen Bi Zhu's heart was in extreme pain. His eyes turned red, while tears flowed down his cheeks, "If Zichen knew about the woman he saved with his life five years ago, he would have gone to his cousin's bed that night. He really wants to die in that car accident! "
"Shut up!" Gu Lanqing snapped.
A sharp voice, like glass, pierced Shen Bi Zhu's eardrums.
Gu Lanqing's eyes were slightly red as she said word by word, "Aunt Huo, I won't allow anyone, including you, to curse Zichen. He will live well, and one day he will wake up. "
"Wake up? And then see the woman he risked his life to save become his cousin? " Shen Bi Zhu's tears flowed endlessly, "Gu Lan Qing, if you still have a bit of conscience, don't announce the marriage between you and Huo Yan!" In order to save you, Ye Zichen won't wake up in his entire life, so you should just wait for him for your entire life! "
"I can't do it. From the moment I slept with Huo Yan five years ago, I had already lost the right to be together with Zichen. " The redness in Gu Lan's eyes deepened. "Also, I'm really tired."
He had carried the crime of saving her for five whole years.
If she could, she really wanted to get into a car accident five years ago, and she was the one who became a vegetable.
However, there was no such thing as' if 'in this world.
Gu Lanqing stepped out of the dressing room and walked slowly towards the entrance of the press conference.
The corridor was long and quiet, the soft clatter of high heels on it, empty as if she were the only person in the world.
She knew that announcing that she had been married to Huo Yan for five years would not only cause a stir, but also be very selfish.
But she really didn't want to hold on any longer.
She wanted to be selfish for once. She wanted to marry that man when she had to love that boy.
Gu Lan Qing stopped and looked ahead.
Huo Yan was standing at the entrance to the press conference.
He wore a custom-made black suit and a white shirt, which accentuated his flawless, exquisite face.
When he saw her, his cold arrogance melted away like spring water. His thin lips curved up into a slight curve.
Her pitch-black eyes stared deeply at her.
At this moment, she suddenly recalled the night she saved him thirteen years ago.
He stood in the water, his black eyes like clear spring water under the moonlight, looking at her.
Huo Yan was just like thirteen years ago, walking closer to her. He had completely entered her world, letting her know that she would not be alone in the future.
Huo Yan's heartbeat quickened. He knew that he wasn't as calm as he appeared to be.
The black eyes looked at her.
She wore a white dress, outlining her slender and delicate figure. Her simple and elegant design reflected her pure and clean temperament, making her look like a lost fairy in the forest.
He walked slowly towards her. From today onwards, she would be his legal wife.
"Let's go in." Huo Yan slowly said as he walked in front of Gu Lan Qing.
Gu Lanqing looked at the slender fingers that he extended, and her eyebrows curved slightly. She instinctively wanted to hold his hand.
It was at this moment that the sharp ringtone of his mobile phone suddenly rang.
It had completely broken the spell of happiness.
Gu Lan Qing smiled apologetically at Huo Yan. An unexplainable unease arose in her heart. She smiled apologetically at Huo Yan and took out her phone.
However, when she looked at the string of familiar phone numbers and the word "Zichen" on the screen, her mind instantly went blank.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
When Huo Yan saw her, he suddenly felt empty.
He suddenly thought of the fire that had caused him to lose his parents and everything else in his childhood.
Ruthlessness and despair filled his eyes as he reached out to grab Gu Lanqing's arm, wanting to snatch her phone away.
