Stepping on starlight and saying I love you

The familiar voice caused Sha Zhixing to stop in her tracks and slowly turn her head.

Wen Lan was wearing an elegant long dress as she stood at the entrance of her villa. Her slightly powdered face seemed to be covered by a thin layer of halo in the morning light. She was so beautiful that it made people lose themselves, and her well-maintained skin... It made her look much younger than her actual age. No one would have thought that she was already a mother with a son who was more than 20 years old.

"Good morning, Aunt Lan!" Sha Zhixing greeted her obediently and walked to her side.

Wen Lan had doted on her since she was young. Sha Zhixing liked this family member who was not her family. The two of them looked particularly close.

"Are you going out for an emergency?" Wen Lan smiled and looked at Sha Zhixing quietly.

"I'm fine. I'm just taking a walk." Sha Zhixing shook her head.

"You haven't sat with Aunt Lan for a long time. If there's nothing else, let's go home." Wen Lan nodded and smiled. She put her hand on her arm and pulled Sha Zhixing into the villa without waiting for her permission.

Sha Zhixing thought of the overwhelming news this morning. She was afraid that Wen Lan would ask the same question as An Xin, and she did not want to bump into Luo Xichen. She did not want to go.

However, her words just now had blocked her way to find an excuse.

Sha Zhixing had no choice. She followed Wen Lan into the door stiffly.

The two of them walked in front and behind each other. Sha Zhixing looked around as she walked.

After what happened in her room last night, she did not want to see Luo Xichen at this time. How embarrassing! This made her feel a little awkward.

The Luo family's villa was much bigger than the Sha family's. The design was luxurious in the Rococo style. There was also a wide lawn in the villa. It took more than ten minutes to walk from the main door to the main house. The whole family was like a castle.

Sha Zhixing walked on the cobblestone path leading to the main house step by step. Every step she took made her tense up a little.

Fortunately, Luo Xichen did not appear even when she sat down in the house.

Her nervous heart relaxed a lot.

She looked up at the spiral staircase and asked nonchalantly, "Has Xichen gone out?"

"Not yet," she answered.

Sha Zhixing's nerves, which had just relaxed, suddenly returned to normal after hearing those three simple words.

Wen Lan did not notice her reaction. She made her a cup of tea and looked up at her with a smile.

Why was she looking at her like that all of a sudden?

Sha Zhixing felt strange and wanted to look away uneasily. However, she happened to see a stack of newspapers on the coffee table beside her. On the front page, the photo of her in Luo Xichen's arms was particularly obvious.

Sha Zhixing froze.

She must have seen the news, right?

Although there was nothing between the two of them, Sha Zhixing still felt a little guilty when she saw the photo in front of her mother. After all, not everyone would believe such a thing even if it was cleared up.

Sha Zhixing waited for Wen Lan's reply with her heart in her mouth as she thought about how she should reply.

Sha Zhixing: "..."

"Look at this face, it's so thin that even Aunt Lan's heart aches," Wen Lan's voice rang out again.

These unexpected words made Sha Zhixing's previously worried heart relax a lot
