"Xinya, what are you talking about!?"

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

What Xu Shan was originally worried about, she didn't expect to be asked directly by Lan Xinya——

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

"There's no reason why you got so close to Lan Shu?" She looked at Gu Jue, as if she wanted to force him to reveal the unspeakable secret hidden in her heart.

"Don't talk about kindness, kindness is never a bond to maintain a strong relationship. As long as the kindness is repaid, that kind of relationship can end."

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 challenge her!

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

"Yes, I like Lan Shu." He replied with a calm look in his eyes.

And such an answer made Xu Shan and Lan Xinya stunned!

Xu Shan still had an expression of disbelief, thinking that the young master of the Gu family just said such things on impulse.

After all, he is Mrs. Wei's son, even if Gu Jue really had some thoughts about her family, Mrs. Wei would not agree.

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

But unlike Xu Shan, she was just surprised in her heart.

Faced with Gu Jue's frank confession, Lan Xinya expressed her thoughts more directly! ——

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

"You don't need to take care of it." Gu Jue frowned, very annoyed with Lan Xinya.

At this moment, he even somewhat understood why Gu Cheng regretted his marriage.

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

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

Xiaobai 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 in front of Xu Shan that he liked her, which made Lan Shu very unhappy!

She can ignore these words, but Xu Shan, a mother, will definitely misunderstand, and even worry about herself.

Lan Shu didn't want her family to be involved in her affairs——

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

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

Then came the emotional loss...

His feelings are 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 had to clarify his attitude.

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

He fixed his eyes on Lan Shu, such a sincere scene made Lan Xinya who was beside him 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 Wei family as the backer behind him, and the connections he has mastered are simply incomparable to Gu Cheng.

That is to say, Gu Jue is unwilling to go into business like Gu Cheng, otherwise the resources around him will definitely be much stronger than Gu Cheng's, and the business will definitely be much bigger than Gu Cheng's!

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 Shu Shu, then their family would definitely offend Mrs. Wei.

In the future, if Mrs. Wei gets angry with them, the life of his family may not be so easy.

Only after Lan Shu heard Xiao Bai's statement, the furrow between her brows deepened.

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

The young man's feelings come and go quickly, and she doesn't want to, and won't take it seriously, to let herself sink into the impulsive emotional arousal.

From Lan Shu's point of view, Xiaobai just has few opposite sex around him, and his friendship or family affection for him is misunderstood by him as liking.

If she really believed it, she would have sunk without thinking.

When Lan Shu came to this world, she never wanted any extravagant feelings, and she didn't want to invest herself in feelings, which ended in embarrassment.

When Xiaobai was asked by Lan Shu, he was very happy that Lan Shu was willing to listen to his story, but when it came to his mouth, he was at a loss for words and didn't know where to start.

What do you like about Lan Shu?

Appearance, ability, or gratitude?

The choices given by the first reaction in his heart let Xiaobai know that these are not expressions that he should like.

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

In the end, he could only say one sentence of the truest feeling in his heart.

That's right, he just felt that he was very happy to see Lan Shu.

Hearing Xiao Bai's answer, Lan Shu smiled faintly.

She shook her head lightly, sure enough, Xiaobai didn't know what liking was at all.

"Stop mentioning things you like," Lan Shu said.

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

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

Seeing Lan Shu's reaction like this, Xiao Bai's mood became tense, and he felt heavy and uncomfortable.

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

If it were her...

Maybe she will be moved.

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

His height of more than 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 respond, and didn't even take Gu Jue's confession seriously.

At this moment, Lan Xinya even gloated a little, so why would Lan Shu let such a good opportunity miss her?

She will definitely regret it in the future!

It's unknown whether Lan Shu will regret it, but Xiao Bai has no intention of continuing to eat at Lan's house.

"Lan Shu, I'm going back first." He said, looking at Lan Shu expectantly, hoping that she could keep him.

It's a pity that Xiaobai didn't 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 figured it out, he would know that he really didn't like her.

It's just getting along for a long time, the wrong feelings that breed between friendships.

So Lan Shu nodded, "I'll see you off."

She sent Xiaobai to the gate of the yard, watching Xiaobai's back going 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, that was a lie.

After all, it's a lie if Xiaobai is such a well-behaved, obedient, and good-looking little brother who says he likes him.

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