"Xinya, what are you talking about!?"

When Lan Xinya's voice fell, Xu Shan immediately stood up from her seat and interrupted her adopted daughter's words in surprise.

What Xu Shan was originally worried about was unexpectedly asked by Lan Xinya directly——

"Did I say something wrong?" Lan Xinya looked calm.

"For no reason, you would be so close to Lan Shu?" She looked at Gu Jue, as if she wanted to force him to reveal the unspeakable secret hidden in his heart.

"Don't talk about kindness. Gratitude is never the bond that maintains a strong relationship. That kind of relationship can end as long as you repay the kindness."

Listening to Lan Xinya's words, Lan Shu frowned.

She always felt that she and Lan Xinya had nothing to do with each other.

But now, Lan Xinya took the initiative to stir up trouble in front of her!

She was about to tell Lan Xinya to shut up, but in the next second, Xiaobai spoke first——

"Yes, I like Lan Shu." He answered seriously with a calm look.

Xu Shan and Lan Xinya were stunned by such an answer!

Xu Shan still had an expression of disbelief on her face, feeling that the young master of the Gu family was just impulsively saying such things.

After all, he is Mrs. Wei's son. Even if Gu Jue really has any thoughts about her Shushu, Mrs. Wei will not agree.

Lan Xinya on the side heard Gu Jue's answer, and she had the same idea as Xu Shan.

But she was not like Xu Shan, who was just surprised in her heart.

Faced with Gu Jue's confession, Lan Xinya expressed what she was thinking more directly!——

"Young Master Gu, how can you like her? Don't you know that Lan Shu is already married? Do you think your family will allow you to marry a divorced woman?"

"You don't need to worry about it." Gu Jue frowned, very bored with Lan Xinya.

At this moment, he even understood the reason why Gu Cheng regretted the marriage.

Even though his eldest brother is not a good person, Lan Xinya is not a gentle and virtuous good girl either.

At the dining table, Lan Shu also frowned when she heard Xiao Bai's words.

Xiaobai had said before that she wanted to be the son-in-law of the Lan family, but she only thought of him as a young man and didn't take it seriously.

But now, Xiaobai said that he likes her in front of Xu Shan, which made Lan Shu very unhappy!

She may not take these words at heart, but Xu Shan, a mother, will definitely misunderstand and even worry about herself.

Lan Shu doesn't want her family to be implicated in her affairs——

"Xiao Bai, stop talking!" Lan Shu said coldly.

Hearing Lan Shu's admonishing tone to stop him from revealing his true feelings, Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Then came the emotional loss…

His sentiments were now clearly rejected.

Even though he had been mentally prepared for such a thing, when he actually faced it, he still felt hurt inside and couldn't accept it.

But even so, he still has to make his attitude clear.

"Lanshu, I am serious. I know that I am not qualified to pursue you now, so give me some more time."

He looked at Lan Shu intently. Such a sincere scene made Lan Xinya on the side surprised and jealous!

You know, Gu Jue’s identity is not even comparable to that of Gu Cheng!

Mrs. Wei's biological son has the backing of the Wei family, and the connections he has are simply unmatched by Gu Cheng's.

That is to say, Gu Jue is not willing to go into business like Gu Cheng, otherwise the resources around him will definitely be much stronger than Gu Cheng, and the business will definitely be much bigger than Gu Cheng!

Xu Shan was also surprised.

From the surprise before to the embarrassment now.

She felt that if the young master of the Gu family really had thoughts about her Shushu, then their family would definitely offend Mrs. Wei.

If Mrs. Wei angers them in the future, the life of his family may not be so easy.

Only Lan Shu's eyebrows deepened after hearing Xiao Bai's statement.

"Xiaobai, do you know what liking is? What do you like about me?"

A young man's feelings come and go quickly. She doesn't want to, nor will she take it seriously, and let herself get trapped in the impulse of emotions.

From Lan Shu's point of view, Xiaobai just had few members of the opposite sex around him, and his friendship or family affection for her was misunderstood by him, and he took it as liking.

If she really believed it, then she was sinking without thinking.

When Lan Shu came to this world, she never asked for any extravagant feelings, and she didn't want to let herself get involved in feelings, which ended up in an embarrassing situation.

Xiaobai was asked by Lan Shu. He was very happy that Lan Shu was willing to listen to what he had to say, but when it came to his mouth, he was speechless and didn't know where to start.

What do you like about Lan Shu?

Appearance, ability, or gratitude?

The first choice in my heart made Xiaobai know that these are not the proper expressions of love.

"I like...I just like seeing you."

In the end, he could only express his truest feelings.

That's right, he just felt that seeing Lan Shu would make him very happy.

Hearing Xiaobai's answer, Lan Shu smiled faintly.

She shook her head gently. Sure enough, Xiaobai didn't know what liking was.

"Don't mention the things you like anymore," Lan Shu said.

Then he looked sideways at Xu Shan and said, "Mom, what should we eat for lunch?"

Obviously, she no longer intends to continue the previous topic.

Seeing Lan Shu's reaction, Xiaobai felt tense and felt heavy in his heart.

Lan Xinya on the side saw this scene in her eyes, and she was surprised that Lan Shu was indifferent to the confession of the young master of the Gu family.

If it were her...

Maybe she will be moved.

After all, Gu Jue has a face that attracts attention at a glance in a crowd.

His height of over 1.8 meters will also bring enough sense of security to the other half around him.

Coupled with his background and the power behind him, Lan Xinya felt that no woman would be able to refuse Gu Jue's pursuit.

But Lan Shu didn't react at all, and didn't even take Gu Jue's confession seriously.

At this moment, Lan Xinya was even a little gloating about her misfortune. Why would Lan Shu let such a good opportunity pass up to her?

She will definitely regret it in the future!

Whether Lan Shu will regret it is unknown, but Xiaobai has no intention of staying at Lan's house for dinner anymore.

"Lanshu, I'm going back first." He said, his eyes met Lan Shu's eyes expectantly, hoping that she could save him.

Unfortunately, Xiaobai did not wait for what he expected to happen.

Lan Shu knew that Xiaobai was in a bad mood at the moment, so she hoped that Xiaobai could go back and think about it calmly.

When he figures it out, he will know that he really doesn't like her.

It's just the wrong feelings that arise from friendship after being together for a long time.

So Lan Shu nodded, "I'll give it to you."

She sent Xiao Bai to the gate of the yard and watched Xiao Bai's back walking further and further away.

Until Xiaobai's figure disappeared from her sight.

‘Alas~’ Lan Shu sighed.

She said in her heart that she was not disappointed, which was a lie.

After all, Xiaobai, a little brother with a well-behaved and good-looking personality, told him that he likes her but is not attracted to her, which is a lie.

But precisely because she had feelings for Xiaobai in her heart and didn't want Xiaobai and her friendship to go on an irreversible path, she decisively distanced herself from Xiaobai.
