Lu Yan thought to himself, if he doesn't say anything then it's fine, he didn't necessarily need to know where the money came from. As long as this little girl in front of him was safe and sound, that was enough. However, thinking about this, he tilted his head and asked, "How much money do you have?"

  An'an's mind turned a corner, originally intending to say less, but after thinking again, she seemed to have no need to deceive Lu Yan, so she straightforwardly stretched out a palm, "Five thousand!", After finishing speaking, An'an looked at Lu Yan with some trepidation, not knowing what his reaction would be.

  A flash of shock that was hard to detect flickered in Lu Yan's eyes, and the speed was so fast that An An felt like it might have been just an illusion.

  Anan underestimated the impact of 5,000 yuan on people in this era. Lu Yan was able to make money because he had his own channels and connections that he had slowly built up over many years. It can be said that he put in a lot of effort beforehand, and it wasn't until last year's end that he started to have income, which reached its peak this year when Anan asked him about it.

  He has so much income because of the accumulation of many years before.

  And what about An An?

  If he didn't remember wrong, Anan was just a high school student, and even a student who had never left Taoyuan County. He dared to conclude that even if Gu Weiqiang had been running goods for so many years, his hands were not as full as Anan's.

  He didn't guess wrong, although Gu Wei Qiang has been running goods for so many years, he is generous and spends as much as he wants on his family, never thinking of saving money. As for the money in Gu Wei Qiang's hands, it might be just as little as the loose change in An An's hands.

  Lu Yan was shocked after being pressed, his hands tightly grasped the steering wheel, now he just wants to calm down, finding someone who makes more money than him, his pressure is so great!

  As for how Anan made his money and whether it was ill-gotten gains, that's completely outside of his consideration because he understands Anan's character and knows he wouldn't do something like that.

  After a while, Lu Yan finally managed to utter a few words from his chest cavity, "Really rich!", genuine praise, not flattery.

  She smiled dryly and humbly said, "It's okay, it's okay." She just had a supermarket as her backing, whenever she was short of money, she would sell some goods. Her advantage was that she had been doing this for several years, until all the goods in the supermarket were sold out by her.

  That's no different from ordinary people.

  Oh! That's not right either! I also have the ability to attract animals, but since moving to the county town, it's too inconvenient, and every time I go back to my hometown, the chances of being exposed are very high.

  So this strange skill An An hadn't used for a while, thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Hui in Gu Jia Cun Shan Wa Zi, and didn't know how he was doing.

  Lu Yan tilted his head and waved his hand in front of An An's face, "We're here, what are you thinking about?"

  She was taken aback for a moment, then said without thinking, "I miss home." She had been out for several days and was starting to miss the people at home.

  Lu Yan couldn't help but smile, after all, he was still a kid. "It's not many days left, and when the time comes, I'll be back." He paused for a moment, "Have you prepared gifts for your family members?" In their generation, no matter which relative went out, they would bring some small gifts when they returned home, even if he had a bad relationship with his family.

  It's worth mentioning that when going out, buying something for everyone is also a kind intention. At least when you're away from home, you'll be thinking of your loved ones back home.

  An An shook her head, "Not yet! I'll buy it when I'm about to leave!"

  "When the time comes, I'll accompany you." Lu Yan's eyes were filled with tenderness as he looked at An An, and his voice softened a little.

  An'an's face turned red and she muttered, "Okay!"

  After getting off the car, Anan finally came back to her senses. This was not Li's house, and they were clearly following behind Li Jingyue's car. But now Li Jingyue's car had long been gone, and this place in front of them was quite unfamiliar. Anan curiously looked around and asked, "Where is this?"

  "My friend's family heard that I have a partner and they want to meet you."

  She was taken aback for a moment, and then her fist shot out. "Why didn't you tell me in advance?" she scolded. "A heads up would be nice!" Just like that, she came over without warning, and she wasn't prepared at all!

  An'an lowered her head and took a glance at her clothes, suddenly feeling a bit ugly. She grumbled, "I didn't even dress up."

  Lu Yan rubbed his nose, knowing he was in the wrong. He smiled apologetically, "It's my fault, I didn't tell you ahead of time." Then he changed the subject, "You're the most beautiful even without dressing up. If you were to dress up, wouldn't that blind others with your beauty? So it's best this way, it's the most beautiful!"

  Lu Yan's words really made An An stunned for a moment, she stared with her eyes wide open and scolded, "Glib-tongued." She didn't even know when Lu Yan's mouth became so sharp.

  Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and explained, "Originally, I was going to bring you here in a few days, but since you were looking for a place urgently at noon, I thought of this friend. They are locals, and when the unit allocated housing back then, they had quotas, so they spent more money to get several storefronts. I remember some of them were still empty. You can ask them."

  That's the benefit of having connections. If Anan were to do it herself, she would be completely clueless and wouldn't know anything about the place or its people.

  But with Li Jingyue and Lu Yan's two relationships, it can be said that they have saved a lot of trouble!

  An an listened, her eyes lit up, and she hesitated, "Will it trouble you?"

  Lu Yan raised his hand and rubbed An An's little head, "Not troublesome, let alone, I'd be delighted if you gave me more trouble."

  Have to say, at times, Lu Yan's skills in coaxing girls are top-notch, two sentences made An An smile with her eyes shining brightly.

  The door creaked open, and out came a sturdy black man, who looked to be at least three inches taller than Lu Yan. An An thought that if she hadn't been in Shanghai before, she would have even mistaken the man in front of her for a mixed-blood person. After all, this kind of dark skin tone, as dark as coal, was not commonly seen. But An An had forgotten that when she first crossed over, she had also had this kind of skin tone, although it was several shades better than the man's in front of her.

  The man came up and gave Lu Yan a big bear hug, shouting, "Old Fourth, long time no see."

  Lu Yan clenched his fist and tapped the man's chest, his face softening slightly. "Old Hei, long time no see." He introduced, "This is my former brother, named Xu Heizi."

  Xu Heizi looked at An'an behind Lu Yan with a surprised expression, raising an eyebrow and saying "Wow! Younger sister is great!", he was two years older than Lu Yan, when they were in the capital city as soldiers, they lived in the same house, he was the second child, later after getting married and having children, he returned to Shanghai.

  From the tone of their conversation, An An could sense the familiarity between Lu Yan and Xu Heizi. To think that except for Du Zihu, this was Lu Yan's first time bringing her to meet his own brother, An An smiled shyly, "Hello! I'm Gu An An."

  Lu Yan noticed An An's discomfort, and subconsciously pulled An An behind him to comfort her, "Lao Hei is just a tall and big kid, don't be afraid of him."

  Xu Heizi's eyes nearly popped out when he saw this, what time did he see Lao Si being so gentle and soft-spoken? In the past when they were in the army, although he was the youngest in the dormitory, he was actually the most capable of fighting. Later on, at a young age, he surprisingly became their supervisor and led everyone's training, becoming the team leader. Outside, people called him "Cold-faced Yan Luo". Thinking back to those past events, Xu Heizi shivered. How did Lao Si become like this? It's really worth letting those brothers from back then take a look, where is the "Cold-faced Yan Wang"?!

  This is obviously a lovesick man who has fallen deeply in love!

  For tall and strong strange men, An seems to have a few points of distance, in her eyes there are two kinds, those who can be beaten and those who cannot.

  An An thought that if the Xie Hei in front of her were to turn against her, she would probably be no match for him. However, upon hearing Lu Yan's consideration for her feelings, she smiled mischievously and said, "Don't worry! I'm just curious, if you two were to fight, who do you think would win?" Anyway, she knew she couldn't beat Xie Hei, but as for Lu Yan, judging from his appearance, Xie Hei looked even more robust and fierce than him.

  An An's question made Xu Heizi shudder, and he hastily retreated backwards. "Younger sister, don't compare me to this cold-faced Yan Wang, I still want to live for two more years." His retreating and shuddering appearance was really inconsistent with Xu Heizi's ferocious and evil image.

  An An was taken aback, "Cold-faced Yan Wang?", this was the first time she had heard someone describe Lu Yan like that, but thinking carefully about it, it did seem quite fitting. The first time she saw Lu Yan, didn't she think he seemed completely devoid of human warmth, with a cold and icy expression on his face, as if others owed him 8 million dollars? Looking at it this way, "Cold-faced Yan Wang" was actually quite suitable for Lu Yan's image.

  Xu Heizi originally wanted to expose his own brother's secrets, but was given a cold stare by Lu Yan. Xu Heizi swallowed hard and whispered, "Let's just let the fourth brother tell you himself next time!"

  An's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he turned around, stroking An's fluffy little head, his smile deepening, "Mischievous!"

  These two distinct attitudes really opened up Xu Heizi's eyes. When dealing with his brothers, Lu Yan's eyes flashed with flying knives, but when dealing with An'an, they were filled with warmth and gentleness. Xu Heizi finally understood what it meant to be a hundred-refined steel wrapped in silk.

  Who would have thought that Lao Si would also have such a day!!

  Xu Heizi led the two into the house, their home was a small attic, Xu Heizi's father left early and his mother relied on each other to raise him until he grew up. When he got older, he really couldn't study anymore, so the old lady at home saw that her son was tall and strong, and immediately came up with the idea of sending Xu Heizi to join the army, but didn't expect Xu Heizi to go all the way from his hometown to the capital city.

  Still with Lu Yan in the same unit.

  Later on, Xu Heizi's mother fell ill and with only an elderly mother at home, Xu Heizi was forced to leave the army and return home to take care of his own elderly mother.

  When Anan and the others entered the house, Xu Heizi's wife was holding medicine in her hand, feeding the old lady to take medicine! Obviously, Xu Heizi is already married, and looking at the clean and tidy room, they are living a very good life.

  An An pinched Lu Yan's waist, biting her lip and blushing as she whispered, "You didn't tell me in advance that we came empty-handed." Lu Yan seemed to feel no pain in his waist at all. He calmly took out a prescription from his pocket and handed it to Xu Heizi, saying, "I told Li Lao about Auntie's illness before I came, this is the latest prescription he wrote. He said the previous one wasn't effective after eating for a long time, so we changed it."

  By the time Anan heard this, she still didn't understand that before Luyan came here, he had already taken care of all the twists and turns inside, even knowing clearly about the patient in Hei Zi's house, and even brought a prescription from Taosong County.

  It was she who misunderstood Lu Yan, thinking he had come empty-handed, and the thought of it made An An's heart incredibly sweet.

  Xu Heizi immediately walked to the front of Lu Yan's bed as soon as he heard that there was a new prescription, and directly snatched the prescription from Lu Yan's hand. After taking a look, his eyes shone with tears, and he punched Lu Yan's chest with a fist, "Enough brother!", this is better than any gift brought by previous guests who came to the door.

  The Xu family's situation was not bad in this generation, and with Xu Heizi's father passing away early, his mother had to hold up the household alone, guarding the few rooms at home like a man, rushing forward and driving away those relatives who wanted to seize their house. It was because Xu Heizi's mother had a fiery personality that she had conflicts with her relatives in the early years, and as a woman raising children on her own, she overworked herself too much in her youth, damaging her health, which is why all sorts of chronic illnesses emerged after she grew older.

  "It's all said and done, we're brothers." He changed the subject here, "On the back of the prescription, there is the phone number of Li Lao's current residence. If Auntie has any discomfort, she can call Li Lao directly." Permitted Black Sub's mother had been treated by Li Lao for her illness in previous years, but later lost contact after Li Lao was sent down to the countryside. It wasn't until Permit Black Sub returned to Shanghai from Beijing that they reestablished contact during this period.

  Hei Zi nodded, "Thank Li Lao for me!", he said here, he looked at Fang Zi and sighed, "This requires wild ginseng, and it needs to be old, this is not easy to buy!", these days, pharmacies all have wild ginseng for sale, but the old ones are hard to come by, and whenever a shop gets good ginseng, it's always someone with connections who gets the news in advance and they absorb it internally.

  Xu Heizi's family had several storefronts, but their financial foundation was still not at this level.

  An'an stood at the door, took a glance at Auntie who was drinking medicine inside the house. Coincidentally, the patient inside also lifted her head at this moment, and their eyes met. An'an's mother didn't look like an ordinary woman, on the contrary, she was quite tall, somewhat like a person from the north. Even though she had become thin as a skeleton, lying in bed, it could still be seen that her frame was quite large. For some reason, An'an felt a pang of sympathy for Auntie in front of him.

  She looks like she's not that old, but her degree of aging is about the same as her grandmother Zhou Aijuan, who are clearly two generations apart.

  A little girl was watching her, and Auntie Xu forced a smile, making An's eyes sour. No wonder Xu Heizi, such a rough man, had tears in his eyes when he received the prescription.

  An'an bit her lip and smiled, she hesitated for a moment, softly saying "I have a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, can I use it?", She had one left in the supermarket, when Xiao Hui went to the mountain valley to find two ginsengs, she sold one and left one intact, which had been placed in her supermarket all along. In a strict sense, there was one and a half, and the remaining half was from the one she had just arrived here not long ago, using half of it and leaving the rest in the supermarket.

  The words had just fallen.

  Four pairs of eyes stared at An'an, as if they wanted to poke a hole in her. She lowered her head and explained softly, "I will dig ginseng. I dug some before. My dad asked me to bring one to Shanghai to see if anyone would buy it!" She could only push the pot towards Gu Weiqiang, but she wasn't afraid of being exposed. After all, her own father knew that she could dig ginseng. Lu Yan also knew, but she needed an excuse for bringing ginseng to Shanghai. Although An'an was very reluctant to lie, there was no other way.

  The thing about the portable supermarket was her biggest secret, and she wasn't sure if she would tell Lu Yan about it later or not. For now, however, she was unwilling to expose this secret.

  Xu Heizi's heart was so excited that it almost jumped out, he rushed to Anan's face, grabbed Anan's hand and asked excitedly, "Is what you said true?"

  The pain in her hand made An An furrow her brow, "Hm! Really!"

  Lu Yan's swift and precise slap landed on Xu Heizi's hand.

  Xu Heizi muttered, "I'm too excited."

  "Alright, alright," I said, "I know that wild ginseng is in my luggage, not on me. If you're in a hurry, you can go with me to get it!"

  "How much money?"

  An'an shook her head, "Don't mention money." She seemed to have some difficulty speaking about the purpose of her visit.

  Lu Yan was straightforward, "We came to deliver the prescription this time on one hand, and on the other hand, An An wants to open a shop in Shanghai. We want to know if your family has any shops for sale, preferably at the intersection of Old Street and Nanjing Road."

  Xu Heizi gave Lu Yan a strange look, "How did you know that our family has had an empty shop at the intersection of Old Street and Nanjing Road for many years?"

  "Ah?!", An'an and Lu Yan were surprised, "So coincidental? We just took a liking to that place, thinking you're a local, with a storefront at home, wanted to ask for your help introducing us."

  Just then, Xu Heizi's wife had finished feeding medicine to Auntie Xu and came out with an empty bowl. She said directly, "The shopfront has been in a dispute with the Xu family's relatives all along, so no one is willing to rent it. The shopfront has been vacant for many years. If you want it, you may have to face the shameless Xu family members." When Xu Heizi's wife mentioned the Xu family members, she was clearly gritting her teeth.

  Xu Heizi felt a bit awkward, he took the empty bowl from Wu Liyan's hand and comforted her, "Don't mind those bastards." After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders, "You all saw it, our storefront has been vacant for several years, no one dared to rent it. It's because of our old Xu family members, they're all shameless, the people nearby also know about it, so nobody wants to take over this rotten stall."

  An An and Lu Yan exchanged a glance, she was firm, "We don't want to rent, we want to buy it outright, I wonder if you are willing to sell?"

  Xu Heizi rubbed his hands excitedly, "Really going to buy?", he said here, taking the initiative, "You're not outsiders either, I'll tell you the truth, if you buy this shop, it's just a trouble."

  An nodded, "If it's Lao Jie and Nanjing Road area, and we confirm that this storefront belongs to you, not someone else, then we'll really buy!"

  Xu Heizi felt that today was truly a lucky day. Firstly, the prescription for his family's old mother had been found, and secondly, even the most difficult to find wild ginseng had also been obtained. Moreover, someone was willing to buy the shop front that had been a headache for them for many years.

  They had thought of selling the shop before, but whenever they asked around to familiar people and heard that there were still disputes with their relatives, they didn't want to buy it. If outsiders bought it, within three months, the relatives of the Xu family would go to the store and make trouble from time to time, so business couldn't be done. In the end, they had to refund the money for the shop to others.

  Hei Zi nodded, "This shop was separated by my father when he was alive. After my father passed away, that group of old men wanted to take back the separated shop! How could there be such a good thing? They had already given it to this branch, even if his father was no longer around, he was still a male heir, and this branch hadn't become extinct yet! And they bullied the two women like this!"

  An'an's eyes flashed with surprise, and she smiled, "You come with me to the Li's house later, I'll give you the ginseng, then we can sign the agreement and see how much more money is needed, I'll make up for it."

  Hei Zi shook his head and waved his hand, "No need to make up for it, you're not outsiders, let alone solving my problem, I should thank you." His wife Wu Liyan echoed beside him, even Hei's aunt who hadn't gotten out of bed yet came down from the bed and walked in front of An An and the others, "You're all good kids! And I've also heard that when our family's Hei Zi was a soldier in Beijing, his fourth brother took great care of him, you must be Lu Yan!"

  Actually, logically speaking, it should be Lu Yan and An An who go into the house to take a look at Auntie Xu's place, but since Auntie Xu was still taking her medicine earlier, An An and Lu Yan didn't go in to disturb her. Instead, they stood by the door. It wasn't until Wu Liyan finished giving the medicine that they started talking about things on this side, and ended up forgetting about the patient inside the house.

  Lu Yan hastily said, "Auntie, you go to bed first! In the past when we were together, we all supported each other, there's no such thing as who helped or didn't help who!"

  Aunt Xu's haggard face only showed a high cheekbone and a pointed chin, she waved her hand, "As for the matter of the shop front, I can make decisions, just accept it, you two don't need to mention compensating money again. If it weren't for you introducing me to Old Li back then so he could treat my illness, this old body would have been gone long ago. Speaking of which, our Xu family owes you a favor."

  Xu Aunt's temper is explosive, and she has been stubborn all her life. She single-handedly raised Xu Heizi without remarrying, and even sent her only son to the army; this shows the breadth of her vision, which ordinary people can't match.

  Since things have been said to this extent, Lu Yan and An An also didn't see the need to refuse anymore. It's just that An An felt like she owed a lot of people favors!

  The other party's shop is still in Shanghai, and she got a wild ginseng for just one yuan, obviously taking advantage of the Xu family, and there was also Lu Yan's personal relationship in between.

  After settling the matter, Lu Yan drove directly with An'an and Xu Heizi to Li's house.

  When they arrived at Li's house, Xu Chengcheng was alone in the main room eating melon seeds. On the other hand, Li Jingyue had inquired about the shopfront and was busy with a worried look on her face, apparently this shopfront was a hot potato that she was anxious to get rid of!

  An'an and they came back.

  He also brought a tall and sturdy man. Li Jingyu was startled and came out of the house directly, saying "Who is this?"

  An An took the initiative, "This is a comrade of Yan Ge, the storefront between Lao Jie and Nanjing Road that we discussed at noon is their family's, let's bring him over and sign directly."

  Li Jingyue was even more surprised, "Please come in, please come in!"

  Xu Heizi nodded.

  An'an and Lu Yan walked at the back, after everyone had sat down, An'an directly gave up her seat to the three big men, playing the role of a boss who didn't care about anything, since the owner of the restaurant had been found and there was also Brother Yan around, anyway she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

  An An went upstairs, and Xu Chengcheng also looked at the table with a hunched back. He then followed An An upstairs decisively. Xu Chengcheng was being sneaky, poked An An's shoulder and asked, "An An, who is that?"

  An An was facing away from Xu Cheng Cheng, head down opening her luggage, right hand rummaging inside the box, and then pulled out a ginseng from inside. She stood up with an unchanged expression, explaining, "It's the boss we previously discussed buying a storefront from."

  Xu Chengcheng was so shocked that she couldn't ask An'an what had happened. She stared at the ginseng that had suddenly appeared in An'an's hand, her eyes wide with surprise. She pointed at the ginseng and stuttered, "Th...this is where did it come from?"

  An An smiled mischievously, "I brought it from home!"

  Xu Chengcheng felt a bit dizzy, she was suspicious, "Come to Shanghai for fun, and also bring ginseng?"

  "Uh-huh!", An nodded, "I'll go get the carrots down. Do you want to come with me?"

  Xu Chengcheng raised his hand and scratched his head, disbelieving, "Really brought from Taishan County?"

  "Right! Didn't you see what I just took out of the suitcase?"

  "No! And yet it seems like there is!", Xu Chengcheng was dazed by Anan's nonsense.

  When Anan and the others came down, the negotiation had already come to an end. The contract had also been signed. Originally, Anan was supposed to be the second boss, but Lu Yan managed to negotiate it so that she became the big boss instead, while Li Jingyue became the second boss.

  As for this identity swap, Li Jingyue also accepted it. In fact, his identity was not convenient to appear directly because he had the title of boss of the textile factory's door market under his name. Secondly, in this newly opened shop, from planning to decoration, and even money, most were done by Anan, while he, a local snakehead, didn't help much.

  When Lu Yan put forward this request, Li Jingyu did not have any objection and instead accepted it readily.

  An An heard herself say that she just went up to get a ginseng, and her identity suddenly changed from second boss to big boss. She was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Yan, saw Lu Yan nodding at her, and only then did she speak out, "Will this be okay?", after all, she would be leaving Shanghai soon, and the shop would still need Li Jingyue to run it in the end, while she had just made some efforts, and many of them were helped by Lu Yan, she herself had become a useless person.

  Li Jingyue shook her head, "Nothing's wrong with that, it's what you deserve." This store didn't cost him a penny, he didn't find the location, and most importantly, he didn't have the key technology and design, all of which were shouldered by An An. Li Jingyue saw this very clearly.

  An'an thought for a moment and didn't delay, "Next time we open the branch store, you'll be the big boss!", but it was just a switch, when they opened the branch store, let Li Jingyue take the lead.

  The first store hasn't even opened yet! An An is so confident that she wants to open a branch store.

  The three men beside him looked at each other in dismay, but Li Jing was a businessman after all, and he reacted quickly. "Alright, when we open the branch store, I'll be the big boss, but I'll have to borrow your auspicious words for that." Opening a shop and doing business is most afraid of losing money, but now the shop hasn't even opened yet! This little girl was so confident that she would definitely open a branch store. Which businessman doesn't like such auspicious words?

  Li Jingyue is no exception.

  After everything was settled, Anan followed Lu Yan out the door and handed the wild ginseng to Xu Heizi. When Xu Heizi saw the ginseng, he became somewhat excited, rubbing his hands together. "Younger sister, from now on, if Fourth Brother dares to bully you, just come find me in Shanghai. Our Xu family may not have much, but we have many empty rooms. I'll definitely leave one for you."

  His words had just fallen.

  Lu Yan's face turned dark, and this was in front of him, urging his daughter-in-law to leave home!

  An'an couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter, her watery eyes gazing at Lu Yan with tender affection. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Brother Yan won't bully me!" Only I get to bully him, but in order to save Lu Yan some face, An'an didn't say this out loud.

  Lu Yan wrapped his arm around An An's shoulder, proudly saying, "Heizi, my An An is the most well-behaved, she won't be influenced by someone like you." After that, he directly pointed to the intersection across from them, "Hurry up and go back, your mother and wife are waiting for you at home!"

  Xu Heizi thought that Lu Yan was a person who not only looked cold but also had a black heart. He had just used him and was in a hurry to get rid of him, but he smiled and said, "Old Fourth, you will have your own troubles later." Only after getting married did he realize that women were the most troublesome creatures.

  Look at Lu Yan now, he's spoiling this little girl to the sky, his eyes and heart are full of affection, it's clear that Old Four has fallen into the hands of this lovely little girl.

  No way! When he knew Lu Yan, Lu Yan was still a young and vigorous guy, training all day long, with only training in his eyes, never treating himself as a human being. You know, at that time, there were artistic soldiers in the army, and those stars didn't show courtesy to Lu Yan less often. But Lu Yan, this kid, his eyes were like blind, completely ignoring them.

  Think about it, at that time Lu Yan was a very stubborn person! Even if he was punished, he wouldn't admit defeat and apologize, let alone plead for his brothers.

  Nowadays, in order to open a shop for that little girl An Na, I'm afraid all the previous relationships have been run through, and even reached him.

  Xu Heizi shook his head, fearing it would be later! He was more afraid of his wife than him. Thinking of this, he smiled out of schadenfreude. When they lived together in the past, they had framed Lao Si, saying that only he would hit a lifelong old bachelor, but unexpectedly...

  Became the second one.

  The first one is who? Of course it's him Hei Zi.

  After seeing off Hei Zi, An An and Lu Yan stood at the door for a while. After they couldn't see anyone anymore, An An didn't rush to go in either. She leaned against the door frame, sincerely saying, "Ge, thank you so much for helping me with such a big favor."

  She's not blind, nor is she heartless. Lu Yan has been doing all this and she's seen it all from the start, following her on a long journey from Taishan County to Shanghai, carefully taking care of every detail in the car. After arriving in Shanghai, he took care of everything for her, even when she suddenly had an idea to open a shop in Shanghai, he helped find connections and a location without hesitation, and even when they didn't have enough money, Lu Yan helped fill the gap.

  An An thought she was so lucky to have met someone who cared for her with all his heart.

  It's rare to see An An so sentimental, Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, with a smile at the corner of his lips, and his expression also softened a bit, "Silly girl, why be polite with me!"

  "Are you going to stay at Li's place tonight or come with me to mine?" Lu Yan directly took the opportunity to ask.

  An'an was taken aback, is he actively inviting her to his place? After regaining her composure, An'an's face flushed with a faint red glow, she glared at him and said fiercely, "No way!"

  An An didn't know that her appearance was just like a little wild cat, defending its own territory, with eyes wide open and mouth puffed out, it was incredibly cute.

  Lu Yan couldn't help but reach out and pinch An An's chubby cheeks, saying "What a pity." A man in love always has his beloved girl on his mind, and Lu Yan was no exception.

  He wished he could stick with An An for 24 hours a day, but fortunately! He still knew what to do and what not to do. When he said this, it was just to tease An An. If An An really followed him, Lu Yan would be even more entangled.

  At this age, reputation is extremely important for a young girl, you can't just let it go! It's really somewhat heartless, he couldn't bear to let Anan be spoken of as not being completely proper.

  If you don't spit it out!
