The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

As Shi Xiao's personal secretary, Zhao Mian naturally knew the limits, so he didn't say anything else and directly called his private driver. After arranging everything, Zhao Mian took Zhao Cheng away.

Zhao Cheng was also worried, but it was inconvenient to say it in public, so he had to ask Zhao Mian on the way back: "Sister, do you think Miss Liu Lan has anything to say to the young master in private?"

Zhao Mian is a woman, so she naturally understands some women's thoughts and can see what Liu Lan wants to do. She is just taking this opportunity to enter the Shi family.

She had seen too many people like this, and said with some disdain, "Who doesn't want to start from scratch?"

Although Zhao Cheng felt that Liu Lan had changed a lot after returning compared to when she was in Africa, she was their savior after all, but he still could not accept the fact that Liu Lan had ulterior motives towards Shi Xiao.

"But when she was in Africa, she didn't know our identities, but she saved us. Maybe she just wanted to ask the young master for something she needed?"

Even Zhao Cheng himself didn't believe it. If she needed anything, she could just tell him directly. Zhao Cheng would definitely help her arrange it immediately, and the young master wouldn't need to do anything.

Zhao Mian looked at his silly brother. He had good fighting ability, but unfortunately his EQ and IQ were not high. Could it be that she had deprived him of his intelligence since childhood, so he was so stupid?

Zhao Mian explained: "When there are no conflicts of interest between people, they will naturally treat others well from the bottom of their hearts. But after she returned to China and knew the identity of the young master, how could she be pure-hearted?"

Zhao Cheng nodded, as if he understood, but he was even more confused.

The car stopped in front of Liu Lan's house. Shi Xiao then realized that it seemed to be his first time to come to her house. After returning to China, he was taken to an uninhabited area by Li Ci. Then, various things happened one after another, and Shi Xiao had no time to take care of Liu Lan.

Even this house was found by Zhao Mian for Liu Lan. It is a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment located in the most luxurious residential area. According to the housing prices in the city, this house is worth five million. Shi Xiao feels that this is enough to repay Liu Lan for saving his life.

Shi Xiao is a businessman, and he is never stingy when it comes to problems that can be solved with money.

The car stopped for a while, and seeing that Liu Lan had no intention of opening the door to leave, Shi Xiao reminded her, "We're here, you go up first."

Liu Lan gritted her teeth and gestured, "Don't you want to go upstairs and have a cup of tea?"

Shi Xiao rejected her directly, "It's very late, it's not convenient for me to go upstairs, don't worry, I'll wait for you downstairs before leaving."

Liu Lan was not discouraged by Shi Xiao's rejection. Instead, she became bolder and even turned her whole body towards Shi Xiao. The dim street light shone into the car. Liu Lan was wearing a white dress today, and she looked very charming under the faint incandescent light.

Coupled with her gentle looks and pitiful eyes, it is hard to refuse her.

She gestured in sign language, "I want to talk to you alone."

Shi Xiao frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and then asked the driver to get out of the car. There were only two of them left in the car. "Go ahead."

Liu Lan put her hands on her legs and grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly, making several wrinkles on the white and smooth hem. Then, she loosened her hands and grabbed them again. Shi Xiao was already a little impatient, so Liu Lan raised her hands and continued to gesture.

She spoke each word slowly, fearing that Shi Xiao wouldn't understand, "I like you."

Shi Xiao's eyes were sharp, and he was not shaken by her sudden confession. He just looked at her calmly, and after a while he asked, "Anything else?"

Liu Lan was stunned. She didn't understand what he meant by asking this question. Then, she gestured anxiously, "Don't you understand?"

"I told you I like you."

"Or do you understand, but don't want to give me an answer?"

"I thought you were-"

Before Liu Lan finished her gesture, Shi Xiao answered. He originally wanted to pretend that he didn't understand and put the matter aside to prevent their relationship from becoming too awkward, but it was obvious that Liu Lan now urgently needed a clear answer.

So Shi Xiao interrupted her and said, "I understand, but you have to know that I am already married. Our country is a monogamous country, and I can't divorce my wife."

Liu Lan was stunned. Shi Xiao’s words were very clear, but Liu Lan didn’t want to give up so easily.

She gestured, "What about the Africa thing? If you knew you had a wife and didn't want to divorce her, why did you bother me?"

Liu Lan lifted her skirt, revealing a small part of her calf. In the darkness, nothing could be seen clearly inside the car, but her actions made Shi Xiao understand what she wanted to express.

Her calf was burned. That day, Liu Lan went to bring him broth and was frightened by Zhao Cheng. She knocked over the broth and the splashing hot soup burned her calf.

Later, when Zhao Cheng went out, Liu Lan took care of Shi Xiao at home. He carefully massaged her legs and blew air on her. With such seductive actions, how could it be said that their divorce was impossible?

If he knew he couldn't get divorced and be with another woman, why did he flirt with others?

Moreover, it was very irresponsible of him to do so.

Shi Xiao glanced at her calves coldly.

Perhaps for Shi Xiao, it was a moment of heart-wrenching yet irrepressible tenderness.

At that time, he had no feelings for Liu Lan. He just thought about bringing her back to China and also thought about using her as an excuse to divorce Yuan Shu, but the turn of events was beyond his expectations.

He was injured at the time and let his guard down, but he ended up making a mistake.

In the end, he still took advantage of her.

Shi Xiao didn't look at her again, his tone was very cold: "That was just out of concern for a friend, you misunderstood, you saved my life, I will naturally not abandon you. Don't worry, just stay here, if you have anything, go find Zhao Cheng, I will pretend that I didn't see what happened today, don't mention it again in the future."

Shi Xiao didn't give Liu Lan a chance to continue speaking. He knocked on the car window. When the driver waiting outside heard it, he immediately turned around, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.

Liu Lan knew there was nothing more to say, so she had to give up. She got out of the car in a daze with a look of disappointment and tears in her eyes.

Shi Xiao waited until Liu Lan entered the elevator and the lights in the room came on, then he asked the driver to drive the car to the company.

He was very distressed at the moment. He had always been high and mighty, not caring about the consequences. He had never thought of being soft-hearted towards anyone, and he didn't owe anyone anything. However, he had provoked two women in his life. One was Yuan Shu, whom he did not love, but now he couldn't bear to let her go. The other was Liu Lan, who was tortured because of his pity.

In order to facilitate overtime work, Shi Xiao set up a cubicle in the office and had someone put a bed and some daily necessities in it. When the company had important matters to deal with, he usually stayed here overnight.

Lying in the bedroom that had been tidied up in the office, looking at the starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, I couldn't fall asleep.

In fact, he never liked weak women, who used their pitiful appearance to gain sympathy and had no ability to defend themselves. Recalling how he had no control over himself at that time, as if his body was not under his control, he felt that something was wrong.

Shi Xiao had a bad premonition, as if everything he had experienced was controlled by an invisible hand, but he didn't know whose hand this was and since when it had started to control everything.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Xiao carefully recalled everything in the past and found that since the moment Yuan Shu appeared, everything began to become uncontrollable.
