The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Chapter 1285: Affection in the Afterlife

After saying that, the woman turned around and walked away.

"Hey?"

Miao Man was embarrassed for a moment. How could this person just leave like that?

This is her boyfriend...

In this case, Miao Man could only smile guiltily at Lan Chuan.

"I'm sorry, I did drink too much on your birthday and acted a little bit out of control.

But don't worry, it won't happen again. If nothing else, I'll leave first. Bye."

"Wait a moment."

Miao Man was afraid that talking to Lan Chuan for a while longer would cause misunderstandings, so she hurried back to her room.

Unfortunately, before he could take three steps, he was stopped by Lan Chuan behind him.

"Let's go downstairs and take a walk. We can chat a bit."

"what?"

Miao Man was stunned.

It's not enough to just go downstairs for a walk, but also to chat. Is there any need for that?

It’s not that she has nothing to say to Lan Chuan, but now that things have developed to this point, is there any point?

"No, I'm busy."

Lan Chuan waved away Qin Xiang who was accompanying him, and despite Miao Man's objection, he stubbornly pulled the woman's fair wrist and walked downstairs.

"Hey?"

Miao Man was dragged by him and staggered all the time. What happened to this guy?

Stimulated?

Is he still the same conservative Lan Chuan?

"Okay, there's no one here anymore, just say whatever you want to say."

The two walked one after the other to the old house's back garden, which was full of flowers but empty. Miao Man pulled out her wrist that was held by Lan Chuan and moved it briefly twice.

Lan Chuan thought about it again and again, and finally couldn't let go of her depressed mood.

"Are you ok?"

Miao Man smiled generously.

"Good or bad? How do you define it?

Is it better to enjoy a life that doesn't belong to me, or to marry a man I'm not that attracted to?

Lanchuan, the night before your birthday, I really felt that there were too many things I hadn't accomplished for you.

I want to be with you, marry you, have a home of our own, and have children of our own.

But after I witnessed with my own eyes that you agreed to be with Esther, I suddenly felt that these things didn't seem so important anymore.

I guess you think so too.

I know you did this for me. Similarly, I decided to marry Huo Yigeng for you.

Just think of it as a commemoration of the past affection between us, and neither of us will be indebted."

Having said that, Miao Man pretended to be calm.

"It doesn't matter, we will still be good friends in the future.

Miao Man is still the same Miao Man.

No matter how noble she becomes, she will never forget her original intention of being a subordinate.

I think you feel the same way, right?"

The two people's eyes, full of thoughts, intertwined in the air. They obviously had so many things to say in their hearts, but when they really faced each other, they lacked the courage to break free from the cage.

"Miao Man, please believe me, I love you.

But I am also selfish. I cannot put the young master and the Ying family in a dilemma because of my own selfish desires.

The young master treated me very well. Without her, I would not be who I am today.

The Lan Chuan you can see is tall and strong, with high fighting spirit.

This is because he has never been treated unfairly in the Ying family in the past twenty years.

The Huo family is a behemoth. The third branch of the family owns nearly one-fiftieth of the land in North City. It is not an existence that you and I can resist to the end just because we truly love each other.

Miao Man, have you ever thought about the consequences of rejecting Huo Yigen for me?

It's not that I haven't thought about giving up everything and taking you away, but what about the young master? She is only 23 years old this year, putting aside everything else.

Even if she really has a way to make the Huo family agree to marry you to me, with Huo Yigen's current strength.

We definitely cannot stay in the two cities in Northeast China, and even in the whole of China, there may not be a place for you and me.

If that time really comes, will you be willing to leave the young master?

She is still so young. Although she is self-reliant, she is still a little woman who has not fully grown up. She will act coquettishly and pout, and she will cry when she is sad.

If we are together regardless of everything, you will no longer have the opportunity to comfort her. Can you bear it?"

Lan Chuan rarely speaks so many words at once.

His words were so insightful that they made Miao Man despair.

The moment she shook her head subconsciously, two lines of clear tears suddenly fell from the woman's red eyes.

"I couldn't bear to do it, and that's why I married Huo Yigeng against my will.

At least by doing this, I can see her often in the future. My whole life is dedicated to the young master and the Ying family.

I can't just leave her alone, Lanchuan, I understand what you're saying.

I know there is no answer to this question, but I still greedily want you to pour all your love on me alone.

I wanted to keep you, so that night, I slapped Esther in desperation.

I'm sorry, please forgive my unreasonableness..."

Before Miao Man could finish her crying words, Lan Chuan stretched out a strong and powerful long arm, pressed the woman into his arms, hugged her and patted her.

"Don't say anymore, Miao Man, I understand.

If we are destined to lose each other in this life, let's leave our love in the next life.

In my next life, I will still be waiting for you at the gate of the Ying family's old house."

When Miao Man heard this, she cried even harder, and the facial features on her pretty face tightened in pain.

She stretched out her helpless little hands and hugged the man's broad back tightly.

"Lanchuan, you must take good care of yourself, eat on time, go to bed early and get up early, you must live a happy life..."

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of her courage to finally give up Lan Chuan?

The man nodded heavily and wiped away the tear marks across his nose at the speed of light, fearing that Miao Man would notice.

"Yeah, okay, I know, I know."

Ugh…

Shi Rong, who was hiding not far away and watching this scene, felt very uncomfortable.

"Regret it?"

When Shi Yang came to find her with a cup of water, he saw the little woman sighing and feeling sad. He raised his hand and touched her listless head.

"Baby, I know you can't bear to see Lan Chuan and Miao Man separated, and you can't bear to see them suffer.

But Brother Yi Xiu is right. Now that the overall situation has been decided, Huo Yigen will not let Miao Man go.

If we were to fight against the Huo family chaebol alone, it would inevitably put the Chu, Xing and Song families in a dilemma.

They are not helping anyone, even if Jiuzhou is really willing to make selfless contributions and stand on your side.

But Huo Yigeng has his own persistence, and on the surface he will indeed obey his elder brother's wishes.

But behind the scenes, it would be too easy for him to do something. Don't forget, he has been with Huo Qiye since he was a child.

Huo Qiye appears gentle and refined on the surface, but he is actually quite cunning.

Over the years, even if Huo Yigeng couldn't learn his scheming, he could still learn from him."

Shi Yang looked around and made sure that there was no one around. He took Shi Rong's hand and went to a pavilion under the eaves to sit down.

"Baby, you see some things more clearly than I do. You know why Huo Qiye has been patient and has never attacked you.

He is still holding back his ultimate move. He won't reveal his true colors until he is absolutely sure he can fight Huo Jiuzhou."
