“Cousin, you are back!” A cry of surprise came from the front.

  When Bai Yan looked up, she’s suddenly welcomed by that woman wearing her iconic light blue dress and rushing over. She’s all smiles and sweet like a wonderful apple.

  Compared with a few years ago, today’s Lan Xiaoyun was more beautiful and mature, giving off a genuine air of beauty with posture.

  “Big Bai!” It’s exactly in the moment where Bai Yan wanted to open her mouth, another familiar voice cuts in from the side.

  Stunned due to how unexpected this was, Bai Yan had to take a second to shift her sight over to that young white figure.

  He has a beautiful handsome face. Like the girl, the young man was also dyed with excitement as he strolled over.

  Wen Ru?

  Why is this guy at the Lan House?

  Using the momentary stupor due to his own entry, Wen Ru the guy who lost to Bai Yan in a contest all those years ago quickly came up and made a aggrieved face. He’s all sad and pitiful like a abandoned pet who needs comfort from his mistress: “Big Bai, you and Little Bai left for so many years. Why didn’t you come back sooner? I’ve been so lonely without company.”


  Looking at the boy’s silly yet lovable face, Bai Yan smirked in amusement as she rubbed her own chin in thought: “Wen Ru, shouldn’t you be explaining to me on why you’re here first? When did you become so familiar with the Lan House?”


  Rubbing his nose shyly, the guy shot a peek over to Lan Xiaoyun before answering: “Well, isn’t Xiaoyun your cousin? Since you left, I’ve been watching over the Lan House for you. This way I can also know the first moment you come back. Don’t you know how hard it is to keep track of your whereabouts?”


  “Is that right?” Bai Yan’s grin deepens greatly as her sight shifted between the two like she’s seeing candy in a jar. “Why do I feel like you’re out for something else instead?”


  Hearing this, Wen Ru immediately lowered his head in embarrassment because he got caught. Indeed, he’s here for Lan Xiaoyun. After his first meeting with this frank and kind girl, he’s been captivated by her free-spirited personality. It’s just that, some words mustn’t be spoken aloud, otherwise even the friendship would be gone.

  “Cousin, you misunderstood Sir Wen Ru.” Lan Xiaoyun hooks her arms around Bai Yan’s, “He came on behalf of the Flower Brothel, there’s no other meaning.”


  Bai Yan and Bai Xiachen shot each other a look due to this behavior.

  When did she begin to defend for others?

  “Big Bai,” Wen Ru’s clear clean eyes turns to the twins, “this must be the twins mentioned by Xiaoyun before. Oh my, they are so lovely. Only you and your husband can produce such fine children.”


  He reached out his hand and pinched the twins cheek.

  Ling Yan was very curious at this handsome young man. However, her twin brother Jin Tian was more upset due to being chubbier.

  “Uncle, I’m already fatter than my sister and brother. If you keep pinching my cheek then I will grow even fatter!” Jin Tian protests unhappily.
