With such sadness, who exactly was Xiao Yan to her?

Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, it was because of Xiao Yan, and also because of Xia Lan.

Gu Xi Jue nodded his head coldly, thinking of his big brother who was gossiping even more, he asked back: "Did Han Ke Peng not tell you?"

In that moment, Gu Xi Jue actually did not want to deny anything.

"Hmm, Xiao Ze is also happy." Xiao Ze's round eyes narrowed into slits on his fleshy face, looking extremely satisfied.

"What's her name? The next time she comes, she'll pay half the price." Han Ke Yun laughed. In truth, he just wanted to ask her name. He wanted to know if the girl he knew was the same girl.

Because it was too similar.

In the past, Xiao Yan would always show off his little green plum blossom to them using his phone, and he had seen the picture of that girl countless times, so he knew that he wouldn't be wrong.

Although this woman had lost her immaturity, her facial features were exactly the same as the photo on Xiao Yan's phone back then.

"Xia Lan." How could Gu Xi Jue not see through Han Ke Yun's motive, but he did not hide it, there were some things that could not be hidden just because he wanted to.

Since Xia Lan wanted to hide in the shell and not come out, he would give her a push.

Han Ke Yun opened his eyes wide once again, and a tinge of fear and incredulity once again appeared in his eyes. Gu Xi Jue was certain that Xia Lan and Xiao Yan knew each other, and to a certain extent, Han Ke Yun also knew Xia Lan.

"You know Xia Lan?" Gu Xi Jue asked.

"What is your relationship with Xia Lan?" Han Ke Yun did not answer, but asked about him.

In terms of relationship, he naturally had to be closer to Gu Xi Jue. If he were to be related to Xia Lan now, he really didn't know what to do.

"It doesn't matter." Gu Xi Jue answered without hesitation. Indeed, he had nothing to do with Xia Lan.

If he had to say that it was related, then Xia Lan was his secretary and Xiao Ze's' good friend '.

It was that simple.

And at that moment, seeing Xia Lan crying like this because of the person called Xiao Yan, he suddenly regretted it a little.

It should be related.

Walking to her side, Gu Xi Jue took her ice-cold little hand, and brought her out without saying a word.

Xiao Ze happily followed behind them, not at all unhappy at being ignored by the two adults. On the contrary, he was overjoyed. Rant, cry, was his father finally enlightened?

Gu Xi Jue drove Xia Lan home first, and along the way, he did not ask her anything about Xiao Yan, nor did he ask her about her past.

Xia Lan had already retracted her tears. She was not used to crying in front of others.

When they got off the car, Xia Lan kissed Xiao Ze and then said goodbye to him.

What was rare was that Gu Xi Jue didn't stay silent today, as usual. Instead, he said lightly, "Sleep early."

His voice was pleasant to hear, like pure red wine. It tasted better and better.

Xia Lan nodded, and acknowledged it.

"There's going to be a family party in a few days. Choose a set of beautiful clothes." Gu Xi Jue instructed.

Xia Lan's bright eyes revealed a hint of bewilderment, "Family reception, do I want to participate?"

"Don't misunderstand, this isn't a private family gathering of our Gu Family. The host of the royal ball is a pair of lovebirds from France who are asking the participants to bring their families to participate. With how mischievous Xiao Ze is, I think if you were here, he would probably be more obedient." Gu Xi Jue's words were flawless. He had become closer to him, and he had also cleared up the misunderstanding.

Looking at the fat Xiao Ze, Xia Lan's heart ached again. Such a young child without his mother, to not even have his mother watch after attending a ball for him, how pitiful.

"Alright." For Xiao Ze, Xia Lan would agree as well.

And it just so happened that Gu Xi Jue had grasped this point.

At the party a few days later, Gu Xi Jue brought Xia Lan and Xiao Ze to attend. The three of them wore blue formal attire, it was unknown where they came from, but they had a tacit understanding.

Gu Xi Jue was wearing a blue suit. He looked like a gentleman, but he was not dull and was very fashionable. Xiao Ze was also wearing a set of blue Little Zheng Tan clothes, matching with his curly hair, the little gentleman from before seemed very cute and adorable.

When he looked at Xia Lan again, when Gu Xi Jue was waiting downstairs and saw her wearing a long, blue frock coat, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

When Xia Lan saw Gu Xi Jue, she was also slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at the clothes she was wearing. She really didn't know that Gu Xi Jue was also wearing blue today, she just thought that it was more blue than hers.

Just like this, the three of them became the center of attention as soon as they arrived. Those who didn't know this were thinking that it was the Gu family's trio who had come out to bully a single dog, dressed as lovers.

Xia Lan held Xiao Ze's hand and followed beside Gu Xi Jue, looking at him and conversing with different people.

Xia Lan didn't say much. When someone mistook her for Gu Xi Jue's girlfriend, she didn't deny it and smiled back.

She thought, there was no need to be so serious at such an occasion, and furthermore, she had come here today to accompany Gu Xi Jue to participate in the royal ball.

What she did not expect was that Gu Xi Jue did not explain and everyone continued to misunderstand.

So what if she didn't misunderstand, Xiao Ze stuck to her the whole time, and never let go of her hand.

The three of them were wearing the same colored formal attire as each other. Naturally, they were misunderstood by everyone as a family.

"If you're tired, then go over and rest." Gu Xi Jue saw Xia Lan quietly moving her feet, so he lowered his eyes to take a look. He discovered that she was wearing two pairs of eight-centimeter high shoes, and ought to be tired.

Xia Lan was grateful for his concern. Her feet really hurt.

Bringing Xiao Ze to the resting area, Xiao Ze was extremely happy as he held onto his cake.

After a while, Xia Lan suddenly felt a scorching gaze landing on her body, making her feel panicked. This feeling was something she had never felt before.

She turned around, and then her expression immediately changed. Standing not far from her was the Big Brother Xiao Yan that she had missed for the past few years. He was still so handsome, so dazzling in the crowd.

Xia Lan wanted to restrain herself, but she could not help but tear down.

Xiao Yan's expression of astonishment was not any less than Xia Lan's. His hand uncontrollably trembled, and even the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground. He did not care about this as he walked towards Xia Lan with big strides. He was very fast, as though he was afraid that if he was slow by even a second, she would disappear.
