Chapter 104: 104 I don’t spend money willingly
“If you like it,” Yan replied very naturally.
“What kind of habit is this?” Iron Straight Lan asked in surprise.
“Boyfriends these days all do this, and the prepared ones are pretty much the same. Shouldn’t a 21-year-old girl like you be enjoying care and attention?” Yan Shixiu deliberately reminded her of her age, “I heard that girls nowadays seek responses for everything, wanting everything settled, and liking their boyfriends to keep them in their hearts.”
Upon Yan’s reminder, Shi Lan indeed remembered that she was no longer Miss Shi.
“Responses for everything, everything settled; what does that specifically mean?” Miss Shi never understood these things.
“Adding clothes when it’s cold, holding an umbrella for you when it rains, you can leave the things you don’t want to do to me, I will always be there when you need me, to protect you, live life with you, give you the simplest happiness and freedom. When I say this, is it attractive?” Yan Shixiu gently countered her at her ear.
“All of these, money can also buy; Sun Ling can do it too,” Miss Shi used to think this way.
It seemed that ninety percent of things in this world could be solved with money, and the remaining ten percent couldn’t be solved just because there wasn’t enough money.
Yan knew her problem. For kids from wealthy families, nobody taught them about emotions; they used money to influence others.
At this moment, Yan wanted to mock Miss Shi’s yachts and corteges again.
But this time, he definitely wanted to turn her perspective around, so he still patiently said, “I don’t spend money; I’m willing.”
Shi Lan clasped Yan Shixiu’s knee, her palm burning hot.
Yan Shixiu knew that this was a sign Shi Lan wanted to escape; she feared nothing but someone talking honestly with her about emotions.
Shi Lan attempted to stand up, but Yan Shixiu encircled her, saying, “Don’t run, I’m not a flood or a savage beast.”
Shi Lan could only sit back down. Although she could have given Yan a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, what Yan Shixiu said was really heart-stirring.
Miss Shi, the wealthy heiress of Asia, had everything but had never been treated sincerely.
Now she was the minor celebrity An Lan, supporting her family all by herself, and she really wanted to know what being genuinely cared for felt like.
Yan, seeing Shi Lan hadn’t moved, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t sure he could persuade Shi Lan, but fortunately, she no longer had to live every day in the ordeal of the Shi family, in the ruthless intrigues among tycoons, with no life-threatening stakes and conflicts, naturally, there was no thorn between them.
Now he just wanted to lead Shi Lan to experience the emotional life of an ordinary girl, to let her be truly happy and free.
Shortly after, the assistant brought the meals and then left.
The room still only contained Shi Lan and Yan, and Shi Lan had no appetite, so whatever it was, she only bit it once and then placed it aside; Yan, seeing this, moved it from her plate to his mouth.
Shi Lan was momentarily stunned; they had this habit before.
“Don’t waste; wasn’t it very natural last time when you put it on my plate?”
“I was out of spirits that day,” Miss Shi explained again without changing her expression.
Yan didn’t expose her; he dined with her and then sat on the sofa to digest the meal because Shi Lan had an early scene the next day, so Yan Shixiu straightforwardly sent her to bed.
“Go to sleep; I’ll sit here and handle some work. I’ll leave once you fall asleep.”
Shi Lan was in the bedroom, Yan Shixiu in the living room, but from her perspective, she could perfectly see Yan Shixiu at the living room desk.
Only the desk area was lit in the entire space, surrounding the lady with a full sense of security, so she too confidently closed her eyes.
