"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Xiao Jinglan's phone still belonged to the same woman as before, so he wondered if she was trying to contact her.

"Lanlan."

When the familiar deep male voice reached his ears, Xiao Jinglan felt that the blood in his body had frozen, and his body could not help but tremble slightly, and even the hand holding the phone could not help but tremble slightly.

"Long time no see...Oh no~"

The man's voice was calm but with a hint of evil, and his frivolous tone made people feel their scalps tingling for some unknown reason.

"Or rather... I haven't contacted you for a long time... Do you miss me?" The man's deep voice came slowly, and Xiao Jinglan couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation in his ears.

"You...is there something wrong?" Xiao Jinglan's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he used all his strength to resist the urge to hang up the phone immediately.

"Lanlan, something happened to the Mu family, he can't protect you." Ling Yisheng narrowed his deep eyes in another place far away, his eyes were cold, "But, shouldn't you explain to me what's going on between you and the young master of the Mu family?"

"It's you!" Xiao Jinglan exclaimed in a certain tone.

She should have expected it, it happened so suddenly and so coincidentally.

“You should know what to do, otherwise, the consequences…” The man’s voice was as cold as a demon from hell demanding death, which made people’s backs chill, but his tone was as calm as if he was chatting.

While Xiao Jinglan was stunned and silent, the man's low and charming voice sounded again. His words were full of intimacy, but his tone was unsettling, with a hint of hidden badness, "Lanlan, I'll wait for you in the Imperial Capital. Don't keep me waiting too long."

The longer he waits, the worse the Mu family will suffer.

The girl was naughty and liked to run around, but he was reluctant to punish her, as that would only let others suffer.

"Ling Yisheng, what do you want to do? Don't mess around!" Xiao Jinglan asked angrily, his tone was panicked, and he murmured in a hoarse voice, "I... I have nothing to do with the Mu family, Mu Wangli just helped me..."

"Oh~" The man heard the girl's anxious explanation in a nonchalant tone, with a hint of hidden hostility in his voice, "If that's the case, then come back early and tell me in person. I won't accept any explanation over the phone."

You little liar, you didn't even give me an explanation when you left.

After all these years, I haven't even called him once.

The phone was silent for a moment.

After a long time, the girl's trembling voice was heard.

"……it is good."

The man got a satisfactory result and hung up the phone happily.

On the other side, Xiao Jinglan was different. She was pale and stood there in a daze. Her hand holding the phone was shaking slightly. There was a hint of pain in her beautiful eyes. She closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

Can't she escape?

After hiding for three years, I finally have to go back to that city.

After a moment, Xiao Jinglan opened her eyes again with a sharp look in her eyes, and for a moment she seemed to have regained the charm of the eldest daughter of the Xiao family.

Since you can't avoid it, just face it.

The girl tapped her phone with her fair fingers, sent a message, and then began to pack her things.

next day

seven in the morning

Xiao Jinglan carefully prepared a breakfast in the villa where she lived. She took off her apron, washed her hands, took out the dishes from the kitchen, and sat waiting by the dining table.

Not long after, a figure came from outside against the light.

The young man was wearing a black suit. Unlike his usual casual attire, his usual lazy and indifferent look was replaced by a serious and stern one. He exuded the cold and solemn aura of a businessman, and his evil demeanor had long disappeared.

But after not seeing him for a few days, the boy seemed like a completely different person. There was a faint blue color in his eye sockets, and there seemed to be slightly red bloodshot in his eyes.

It seems that I didn't get enough rest last night.

"Now that you're here, take a seat." Xiao Jinglan looked up at the young man's scrutinizing gaze and smiled faintly, "I don't know what you like, so I just made something I know how to cook. Eat it while it's hot."

She was full of gratitude towards him.

After all, even with the relationship with Liang Sheng, there was no need for him to do this for her.

Maybe she shouldn't be so selfish.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Wangli has been dealing with company affairs these days, and his eyes have become much sharper, as if he can see through your heart at a glance.

He was puzzled by her abnormality, but he already had some guesses in his mind.

"It's nothing. I've been bothering you these days, so I prepared a small breakfast to show my gratitude." Xiao Jinglan's face was calm, still with a smile on his face, and his tone was light, avoiding the main point.

"One breakfast is not enough." Mu Wangli walked to the dining table and sat on the chair opposite Xiao Jinglan. He raised his eyebrows and spoke in a relaxed and teasing tone, just like his usual evil and lazy self.

"Of course. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just tell me." Xiao Jinglan's smile became even more cheerful, and even his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, looking generous.

She is already beautiful, and now she is smiling so freely, which really lives up to the old saying "One smile brings out a hundred charms", bewitching and fascinating.

The eyes are beautiful and the smile is charming.

For a moment, Mu Wangli was stunned and dazzled by the beautiful scenery.

The surprise in his eyes was fleeting.

After a while, he returned to normal, picked up the cutlery lazily and gracefully and started eating.

Xiao Jinglan glanced past lightly, his eyelashes flickering.

As expected of a noble family background, the aristocratic spirit runs deep in his bones, and his noble and elegant temperament is natural.

Unlike her, she is no longer the same as before.

Xiao Jinglan calmed down and quietly picked up the cutlery.

The breakfast was over quickly.

Xiao Jinglan put down the cutlery and was still thinking about how to start the conversation when the young man's indifferent voice sounded across from him, with a firm tone, "Tell me, what's the matter."

When Xiao Jinglan raised his head, he met the young man's calm face. His expression was indifferent, as if he had expected something.

"Thank you for these days...but I have disturbed you for so long, and it is time for me to go." Xiao Jinglan opened his lips slightly, his face calm and his tone sincere.

Suddenly, there was silence all around.

Mu Wangli glanced at the girl's face and tapped the table with his fingers, his tone still calm.

"Have you decided where to go now?"

"Yes." Xiao Jinglan answered affirmatively.

Going back to the capital, I guess I have decided where to go.

The young man looked at the calm and confident girl in front of him, and a sense of inexplicable sadness arose in his heart. He closed his eyes and slightly curled the corners of his lips, with a bit of bitterness and helplessness, which disappeared in a flash.

As he opened his eyes, he spoke, "In that case, let's go. I'll take you out."

Xiao Jinglan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would accept the news so quickly. But he smiled in a moment and said, "Okay, thank you."

"You are welcome."
