fell in his affection

Lu Yan didn't recover for a moment, subconsciously raised her head and asked, "What way?"

Xiao Zhan looked at her with burning eyes. Since he walked on this road, Lu Yan has been the scenery on this road.

Lu Yan was still in a daze, but Xiao Zhan suddenly said: "Yan Yan, as long as I can remember, my father has told me what kind of road I will take in the future. The burden of the Xiao family will fall on me. This road is full of thorns. No matter how much blood and tears you pay, you can only go on..."

Lu Yan held the milk tea and listened to him quietly.

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips and continued: "This road is destined to be lonely and dark. Ever since I saw you at the training ground that day, this road has become bright and colorful. If I hadn't met you, this road No matter how dark the road is, I can go on, but I met you."

His every word fell on her heart.

Lu Yan's heart seemed to be caught by something, and it slowly tightened.

She could tell from his hand holding the milk tea cup that every word he said was sincere.

He was just as nervous as she was.

Xiao Zhan is not good at words, his thoughts are reflected in the details.

Lu Yan is rich and beautiful, and there are many excellent people around her. Moreover, she has studied criminology and pays more attention to details.

Xiao Zhan pays attention to every detail of her.

Lu Yan also understood the subtext in his words.

If he hadn't met her, he would have continued on the path of intrigue, even if it was dark and full of thorns, he would remain steadfast.

But when she appeared, there was light in his life, and he was afraid that her light would be gone, and that she would be different from him in the future.

When watching the video of Wan Yiyi proposing to Lu Jingbao just now, Lu Yan expressed her longing for family reunion, her reaction made Xiao Zhan uneasy.

There is a subtext behind Xiao Zhan's words, the light in his heart is not his comrades in arms, but his sweetheart.

Lu Yan understands, she has always understood.

Both of them are smart people, and their thoughts can be broken at the slightest touch.

Lu Yan took a sip of milk tea, smiled, and said, "It's very sweet and warm. This is the best milk tea I've ever had."

Xiao Zhan understood and smiled too.

Xiao Zhan is usually unsmiling, but when he laughed, he became much gentler.

He held up the milk tea, Lu Yan understood, they touched each other, and took a sip together.

Lu Yan asked, "What's the plan of the Xiao family?"

As smart as she is, Xiao Zhan's words just now are enough for Lu Yan to guess.

"Next year is the five-year electoral assembly."

Xiao Zhan said, "My dad meant that."

This is already classified as a secret, if it is not a trusted person, it is impossible to disclose it.

Xiao Zhan is not old enough and has not enough experience. It is impossible for him to participate in the election now, but Xiao Teng is qualified.

Lu Yan asked: "Then what do you think?"

Xiao Zhan only recently started to think about this question.

Xiao Zhan rubbed his index finger back and forth, and said: "Before this, if you go forward on this road, you will just leave, but now, I don't think this road must be taken."

Lu Yan nodded and understood: "What did my father tell you?"

Xiao Zhan smiled lowly: "Yan Yan, I can't hide anything from you."

Lu Yan said: "Ordinary people's thoughts can't influence you. You met my dad a few days ago, and only my dad can influence you."

Xiao Zhan shook his head and looked at her firmly: "It's not your father who affects me, it's you, it's our future."

our future……

Lu Yan's heartbeat seemed to have missed half a beat.

Xiao Zhan continued: "Once the Xiao family participates in the election, the road ahead will be difficult. If I abandon you, the Xiao family will be fearless and give it a go. But if I abandon you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Xiao Zhan is a very sober person, and that's why it's not so easy to decide whether to choose Jiangshan or a beauty pageant.

The unswerving choice is certainly admirable, but it also makes people yearn for it.

But if behind the steadfastness is the silent dedication and hard work of countless people, even at the cost of their lives, then it is worth hesitating.

Xiao Zhan has never expressed his heart to Lu Yan, and he also has such considerations.

He is not a boy, nor is he a free man.

He has his own mission.

Xiao Zhan's words were very straightforward, and Lu Yan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

She has become a stumbling block for Xiao Zhan to get to that road.

She couldn't abandon her family, and he couldn't abandon her.

Xiao Zhan's words proved that Lu Rongyuan was unwilling to participate in the election.

Lu Yan vividly remembered the tragedy on Dark Night Island back then. Dozens of people lost their lives just like that. Lu Yan would definitely not ignorantly gamble with the happiness of Dark Night people.

Lu Yan pondered for a long time, and said: "If the Xiao family participates in the election, I will definitely stay out of it."

She can't hurt her family.

Xiao Zhan knew that Lu Yan would give such an answer.

Xiao Zhan understood Lu Yan and would not blame her.

"Yanyan, rest early, we will leave Yacheng tomorrow, there is news that Qiu Tian appeared in the three-way zone."

Lu Yan nodded: "Okay."

People who are too sober and smart, even if they pierce the window paper, they still can't get close.

They all have their own scruples, no matter how much they care about each other, they are themselves first, and there are family members behind them.

They don't have so many romances, they have received different educations and beliefs, and before righteousness, their private emotions, and even their lives, must be ranked behind.

After Xiao Zhan left the room, Lu Yan sat alone on the bay window holding a milk tea cup, not knowing when the milk tea was cold.

Xiao Zhan, who returned to the room, was also full of worries.

Just at this time, Xiao Teng called and asked about Qiu Tian's case.

After the father and son finished chatting on the phone, Xiao Zhan couldn't help asking: "Dad, when the water is full, it will overflow. Too much is too late. The status of the Xiao family is already very high. We really need that. What is the last step forward?" ?”

Say dad, which means that it is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but a chat between father and son.

Xiao Teng's heart skipped a beat at Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Zhan was retreating.

His son, whom he had always been proud of, could never step back, nor could he have such thoughts.

"Zhan'er, what, or who, made you think of such a woman's benevolence?"

"Dad, this is my own idea, and no one has influenced me." Xiao Zhan said, "The sword is too sharp, it is a double-edged sword. How long has it been since you went back to spend time with mom and have a meal with him?" Have you eaten?"

Reunion is a luxury in their Xiao family.

Xiao Teng on the phone couldn't remember the last time the family of three ate together, it was too long ago.

Xiao Zhan didn't say any more and hung up the phone.

He lit a cigarette, and when the smoke burned out, he had already made a choice in his heart.

He wanted to hold on to that beam of colorful light.

And the imperial capital.

After the engagement banquet, Lu Jingbao and Wan Yiyi slipped away, and everyone knew it well, so they didn't go looking for them.

The two of them had already tacitly turned off their mobile phones, and no one could find them.

In a hotel room.

Just in case, wearing sexy pajamas, she jumps on Lu Jingbao who just came out of the bathroom by jumping on a fierce woman.

Lu Jingbao took advantage of the situation and hugged her, burning the fire with a single touch.

When the love was strong, Lu Jingbao said: "Wait!"

He turned over and opened the drawer to find the "little umbrella".

Wan Yiyi understood his thoughts and said: "What time is it, what are you looking for, hurry up."
