Just as he walked out from the elevator and saw that there were so many people in the hall, Xia Lan saw Xiao Yan standing in the center.

"You're down so soon. Are you not busy?" Xiao Yan was still as considerate as before.

He was so understanding that he rarely lost his temper.

No, it should be said that he rarely lost his temper with her. His temper was not small, and he was even stingy with smiles, but to her, he was always gentle, like the sun in the spring.

She tried to make herself look normal, tried to make herself look less nervous, less repulsive.

"Let's find a place to talk." Xiao Yan looked around, there was nothing suitable for him to talk about, there were people coming and going, and it was not suitable for him to say anything.

Xia Lan nodded her head: "Let's go to the coffee shop across the road."

"Alright." As Xiao Yan said this, he turned around, but did not move first, and waited elegantly for Xia Lan to leave together.

Xia Lan had noticed this detail and was greatly moved in her heart. This was because this sort of habit had always existed in the past.

At that time, he was already taller than her, and if he walked faster, she would have to run faster.

Later, Xiao Yan realized this problem. Every time they walked together, he would intentionally slow down and wait for her.

Unexpectedly, four years had passed and they hadn't been together for these four years, yet he still maintained this habit of his.

Along the way, Xia Lan kept her head down, she suddenly didn't dare look up at him, she was afraid that she would soften her heart and fall into his embrace.

She needed a safe and secure embrace after four years of wandering outside.

… ….

On the upper floor of the office, Gu Xi Jue was standing by the window. His sharp knuckles were pressing on the edge of the window as he leaned forward, and his pair of black eyes stared fixedly down the stairs.

Just now, the person who came in to deliver the documents was not Xia Lan, he felt that it was strange. Normally, Xia Lan would never be lazy.

He thought she was not feeling well when she asked someone to help him with his papers.

Thus, he casually asked: "Where's Xia Lan?"

"Someone came to look for Xia Lan. It seems to be quite urgent, so Xia Lan asked me to help her send the documents over."

Thinking that Gu Xi Jue was unhappy, Emma immediately said, "Gourmet, Xia Lan said that the data for this document has been prepared." In other words, Xia Lan guaranteed that there were no problems, and the current problems did not concern her, so he could not be blamed.

Gu Xi Jue said indifferently, while looking at the documents, he casually asked: "Who's looking for her?"

"I think her name is Xiao Yan. She said that she's waiting for her in the lobby of the first floor."

Xiao Yan!

Gu Xi Jue was very sensitive to this name. Upon hearing his name, his eyebrows unconsciously knitted together.

"Alright, I understand. You go out first." Gu Xi Jue ordered coldly.

Xiao Yan, he actually came to the company?

It would appear that their relationship was very close, and it was definitely not as simple as being childhood friends who grew up together.

That day at the banquet, from Xiao Yan's attitude, it could be seen that he liked Xia Lan.

It was just that he did not know whether Xia Lan liked him or not. This woman was trying her best to hide her emotions. Even he was unable to see through her.

He didn't know why, but somehow or other, he walked to the window and looked outside as if he was looking at a scenery. His gaze then unconsciously looked down.

When he saw Xiao Yan and Xia Lan walk out of the office building side by side and cross the road together, Xiao Yan's hand automatically grabbed onto Xia Lan's shoulder.

This natural action was definitely a tacit understanding that they had reached over time.

Gu Xi Jue's large hands unconsciously tightened, his heart was blocked by a nameless Qi, it did not move up or down, and it was extremely depressing.

His first reaction was why was he so concerned about Xia Lan's every move?

Could it be … It's really like what Gu Xiao Ze said, that he likes her?

This thought had only been in Gu Xi Jue's mind for less than three seconds before it was immediately rejected by him.

How could he possibly like a woman who had given birth to a child and whose father was unknown?

If it was a woman he liked, regardless of what he had experienced in the past, he would accept it as long as the other party did not hide anything from him.

However, the fact that he could accept it didn't mean that his family could accept it. Just based on his inflexible father alone, he would definitely not accept it!

With a cold expression on his face, he turned around and continued working. He then tossed the thoughts in his mind out of his mind.

… ….

Just as the two of them sat down, the waiter walked over and asked with an extremely good attitude, "Excuse me, what would you like to order?"

Xiao Yan opened his mouth first: "Is it still black sugar coffee?"

Xia Lan stared at the man in front of her with a complicated expression. Her habits had never changed, but he … She even remembered what she liked to drink.

"A cup of black sugar coffee and a latte." After speaking to the waiter, Xiao Yan looked at Xia Lan and smiled: "My habits haven't changed either."

The love of your heart has never changed.

On the surface, Xia Lan did not show any reaction, she only smiled, but under the tablecloth, his hands were intertwined, one of his hands was holding onto the other, and only this kind of pain could remind him to be calm, to be calm.

"Did you go to see your uncle?" Ever since their last meeting at the royal ball, Xiao Yan could tell that Xia Lan didn't want to talk about the reason behind her disappearance four years ago, and what happened during these four years as well.

Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to ask. He didn't want to force her into a corner, so he just chatted with her casually.

Xia Lan shook her head: "Not yet, when I have time, I will go and see him."

In fact, she hadn't thought about how to explain to him what had happened four years ago and four years ago.

There didn't seem to be a single reason for her sudden departure.

"It's okay, I'll go see him with you another time. I went to see him last month, and he's a bit better now. He can talk a little." No matter how cold Xia Lan's attitude was, Xiao Yan's attitude was always very gentle, and she patiently chatted with her.

"I told my mother you were back. She was happy and she wanted to see you." Xiao Yan's words were simple, he didn't say how shocked his mother was at the time.
