The two of them glanced over simultaneously and saw Shen Xiu’s frosty expression.

This morning, he received news from his secretary that Xia Na was secretly investigating his background, and the person she had contacted was Liu Sheng —the very person who betrayed Shen Lan.

Shen Xiu had intended to come and inform Shen Lan about this news, but he didn’t expect Xia Na to cause trouble for Shen Lan here.

Xia Na looked at the unexpected guest in front of her in shock. She didn’t know how much Shen Xiu had heard them.

Shen Xiu furrowed his brow. “Let me reiterate. We’re just ordinary friends. If you dare to spread false rumors again, don’t expect me to play nice.”

Shen Xiu’s tone was filled with impatience. Xia Na was frightened into silence.

Shen Xiu stepped forward and grabbed Shen Lan’s arm. They got into the car and swiftly left while leaving Xia Na stomping her feet in anger behind them.

She had thought that Shen Xiu was already within her grasp, but she had not expected Shen Lan to suddenly appear.

It seemed that this matter wouldn’t be as easy to accomplish as she had thought.

After driving for a while, Shen Xiu released his grip on Shen Lan’s hand.

The warm touch ignited the same fire as before. A faint blush appeared on his face. He tried his best to suppress his physical reaction with his mind.

Shen Lan also felt a bit uncomfortable because her true feelings had been exposed by Luo Ying and the others at the theater. Her cheeks were burning.

The two of them remained silent in the backseat for quite some time before Shen Lan spoke up.

“Uncle, why did you come looking for me?”

Shen Xiu finally remembered why he had come to find Shen Lan. He looked into Shen Lan’s large, blinking eyes and said, “When you asked me to investigate Liu Sheng, I made some progress and rushed over to tell you.”

“Oh? What is it?” Shen Lan asked anxiously.

Shen Xiu composed himself and said, “Liu Sheng is your half-sister. Back then, your father went abroad to earn money while Liu Sheng’s mother was still studying overseas. Liu Sheng was an accident of their youthful exploits.

However, your father was already married to your mother at that time. The Liu Corporation was still in its early stages, and the majority shareholder was your mother’s family, so your father didn’t dare to hastily divorce your mother.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Lan furrowed her brow. It seemed that she had guessed right. Everything from the past indicated her father’s unusual concern for Liu Sheng.

Shen Xiu continued, “Liu Sheng was raised overseas and was only brought back here when she turned fifteen. Your father arranged for the two of you to become best friends so that he could take care of her. Moreover, Liu Sheng’s mother seems to be quite an impressive woman. Otherwise, your father wouldn’t have been under her control for so many years. He raised Liu Sheng as his own and even allowed her to become the vice president of the company at such a young age.”

Shen Lan nodded while feeling a mix of emotions welling up inside her.

“There’s one more thing you need to take note of. I noticed that Xia Na and Liu Sheng have been in contact. They are up to something,” Shen Xiu said.

Xia Na… Shen Lan had an epiphany. It was no wonder she had been able to dig up Shen Xiu’s background.

Shen Xiu felt relieved after sharing this information. He had to inform Shen

Lan about these matters as soon as possible to prevent her from getting hurt.

He didn’t know why, but the little girl in front of him was becoming increasingly important to him.

Shen Lan pursed her lips and said, “I understand, Uncle.”

It seemed that her enemies did not simply end with Liu Sheng.

At night, Lu Zhao carried an exquisite lunch box and quietly entered Luo Ying’s ward.

Luo Ying had appeared weak and pale in the morning. She was now engrossed in playing games on her phone. Her face was even rosier than it had been during the day.

Lu Zhao felt a sense of relief.

When Luo Ying saw Lu Zhao enter, she immediately tossed her phone aside and stretched her arms out welcomingly. “Hubby, what took you so long? I missed you so much.”

Lu Zhao stepped forward and lovingly stroked her hair. He teased, “We were only apart for half a day. Why would you miss me so soon?”

Luo Ying pretended to be angry. “Fine, since you don’t care, then I won’t miss you anymore. Take your lousy lunch box and leave.”

Lu Zhao held Luo Ying tightly. “I’m not going anywvhere. What can you do to

His hand brushed against the softness of her chest. Electricity jolted through his entire body.

He realized that it had been a long time since he and Luo Ying had last done it…

They had been too busy lately..
