Xia Ni'an smiled and said, "What do you mean? This is my home! It's not like there's a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire. Don't act like you owe me something."

Gu Jinlan stared at the smile in Xia Nian's eyes.

The Shanian in front of her was completely different from the dark-skinned Shanian she met in the southwest.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s not wearing any makeup, but at this moment, Shanian looks like a weak little girl who is pretending to be strong.

She knew that Shanian had not told her the truth about Shanian and the Roland family.

In the past, Xia Niyan said that she didn’t want to go home because she was too ashamed to come back, but now she realized that was not the real reason why Xia Niyan didn’t want to go home.

She also realized that this castle was no longer home to Shanian.

Otherwise, why didn’t Shanian want to come back for so many years?

I would even rather die outside.

Seeing Gu Jinlan’s deeply frowned brows, Xia Nian’s forced smile faded.

Knowing that she couldn't hide it from Gu Jinlan, she sighed and said, "Leave first. When you recover, with your ability, it will be easy for you to take me away from home again, right?"

"Besides, William is my cousin after all. He loves me in his heart and won't do anything to me. Don't worry."

Gu Jinlan asked: "Are you sure he loves you?"

Xia Ni'an nodded without hesitation: "I'm sure, it's just that his love is suffocating. He has such a personality. In fact... he is also quite pitiful. I ran away from home that year, not entirely because of him, but because I didn't like everyone in this family."

Gu Jinlan said: "Okay, I'll pick you up when I get back and rest."

She had to go back as soon as possible.

Shi Ye must be very worried about her since he has no news from her.

And there is Ranran. She dreams of recognizing Ranran every night.

I can only owe Shanian this favor temporarily.

Xia Ni'an said, "Let's go back later. I'll have a drink and chat with him. You can find an excuse to go back to your room and rest."

"it is good."

"By the way." Shanian asked, "What have you told my brother about me? Does he know that I'm married and have children?"

Gu Jinlan shook his head: "I didn't say anything."

Shanian breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

"But there are some things that you can't hide from him if he really wants to know."

"Well, I didn't intend to hide it from him. Nono's existence is not a shame to me. I just hope that I can tell him my story in person instead of him hearing it from someone else."

"Okay, I'll go back to my room early, you guys can chat slowly."

Shanian reminded: "Leave as soon as possible tonight, I'm worried that my brother will change his mind."

Gu Jinlan didn't understand what Xia Ni'an meant, "Change your mind about what?"

"We've been here for too long, he'll get suspicious, let's go back first."

Xia Nian didn't say much and pushed Gu Jinlan back to the restaurant.

William's eyes swept across their faces, "It looks like you had a great chat in the bathroom."

Xia Ni'an sat back in her seat as if nothing had happened, "Yeah, I'm really happy to see Lan Lan here when I came back today."

William said: “Since you like Miss Lan so much, how about I marry her and let her be your sister-in-law?”

Shanian's hand, which had just picked up the knife and fork, froze in mid-air, and she looked up at William's smiling eyes.

After coming back and seeing how gentle and considerate William was to Gu Jinlan, she was worried that William would change his mind. Even though the Tenth Master came alone to pick up Gu Jinlan as requested, William was unwilling to let Gu Jinlan go.

Gu Jinlan said in a deep voice: "Mr. William, this joke is not humorous at all."

William turned to look at Gu Jinlan, "I'm not kidding. If Master Shi and your friends don't come to pick you up, then you can only marry me. You and Ni An have such a good relationship, wouldn't it be nice to be her sister-in-law?"

"No, these are two different things!" Gu Jinlan put down the cup of water in his hand heavily, "I'm full, enjoy your meal."

That’s perfect, no need to find another excuse to leave.

After saying that, Gu Jinlan angrily walked away in his wheelchair.

William did not chase after her, nor was he angry. He elegantly picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine, with a playful smile on the corners of his wine-stained lips.

Xia Ni'an said, "Brother, I know you like the process of conquest, but Lan Lan is not an ordinary girl. If you really want to win her heart, you may have to change your approach. What you said just now will only make her feel that you don't respect her."

William picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of his lip.

When the wine stain at the corner of his lips was wiped off, the smile on his lips was also wiped off.

Throwing the napkin gently on the table, he turned to look at Shanian with a cold look, "Why?"

“…” Xia Nian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what William was asking.

William asked: "Why did you run away from home? Why do you want to come back now?"

Xia Ni'an hesitated and said, "At that time... I fell in love with a man, was deceived, and gave birth to a son for him. Now life is unbearable. There is no place to go except home."

Hearing this, William's eyes showed a rare look of shock.

The corners of his lips twitched fiercely, "You gave birth to a child?"

"Well, his name is Nuonuo, he is very cute and sensible."

"Why didn't you bring him back with you?"

"It's not convenient this time."

William's eyes were filled with gloom. "So you were kicked out?"

Shanian smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, you are blind and don't know how to judge people."

William grabbed the belly of the goblet and drank the remaining wine in one gulp. His angry eyes were not anxiously staring at a certain spot on the table. He asked in a deep voice: "Don't they know that you are from the Roland family?"

The sister whom he treated like a treasure was treated like a piece of trash outside?

Shanian shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't say."

She ran away from home because she wanted to leave the family, so naturally she would not use the title of the Roland family outside.

Moreover, Fan Lang, that short-sighted man, didn't even know about the existence of the Roland family.

Not many people know about a hidden family like the Roland Family.

Suddenly there was a crisp "bang" sound.

Shanian trembled with fear, and saw the wine glass suddenly exploded under William's hand.

He crushed the glass with his long fingers.

Shards of glass splattered all over the table.

Shanian said, "I'm sorry, I brought shame to the Roland family."

William kept his handsome face tense and said nothing.

Here, Gu Jinlan slid his wheelchair at a faster speed, and couldn't wait to go back to the room to see Qingli. He wished he could throw away the wheelchair and stand up and run.

When she reached the door, before she could reach out to push it, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

When Gu Jinlan saw that the person who appeared at the door was Sophia, the smile on his face froze.

She tilted her head slightly and glanced behind Sofia.

There was no one else in the house.
