The surging atmosphere was quickly broken by the arrival of Master An. When Luo Yan saw the energetic Master An, she subconsciously hid behind An Yue.
An Yue was stunned for a moment, turned around, held her hand, and gave her courage. Luo Yan looked at him, her eyes showing a trace of nervousness, and An Yue leaned over and whispered in her ear, "
Don’t be nervous, I’m here!”
"Yes!" Luo Yan nodded, then revealed a comfortable smile.
This slightly tender scene was captured by a pair of sinister black eyes. Although they seemed to be so well matched, in Rong Junlie's eyes, his mood was still unusually calm at this moment.
This kind of calm seemed to contain an unprecedented storm, but he was very careful to hide it, and he hid it extremely well.
Just when An Yue was about to lead Luo Yan towards Mr. An, An Ling had already taken a step ahead of him and grabbed Rong Junlie's hand, dragging him to the front of Mr. Rong.
"Grandpa..." She acted like a little girl in front of her elders when she was cool in the past, which actually made Luo Yan behind her a little impressed.
"Ling'er, are you and Jun Lie here?" Mr. An looked at the pair with satisfaction, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Grandpa, I wish you a happy birthday!" The smile on the corner of Rong Junlie's mouth was polite but a little distant.
On any occasion and with anyone, he could always do this. He was so polite that he seemed approachable, but in fact, the arrogance and condensation exuding from his bones were not easily accessible to everyone.
After delivering the gift, Mr. An asked someone to take it, but his eyes kept falling on his granddaughter and Rong Junlie.
"Grandpa, we will be embarrassed if you look at us like this..." An Lingjiao smiled and couldn't help but lean towards Rong Junlie.
The intimate gestures showed that their relationship was extraordinary, and seemed to hint to the other women in the banquet hall that the man in front of her only belonged to An Ling, and she should not think about anything else.
Mr. An laughed happily, but his smile always gave people invisible pressure.
"Jun Lie, you can't delay your marriage to Ling'er any longer. You know, grandpa, I just want to see my great-grandson. You can't make me wait for a few years, otherwise, I'm an old man.
, but I really can’t wait any longer..."
This is completely the rhythm of forced marriage!
An Ling listened, but shyly took Master An's arm and whispered, "Grandpa——"
"If you say this, Jun Lie will feel a lot of pressure. He has been so busy recently -"
An Ling, who knows how to be a good person, has always given face to Rong Junlie in the An family. Even if she hates marriage so much that she wishes to marry Rong Junlie immediately, she is still very smart to give face to Rong Junlie when there are many people.
Down the steps.
In her heart, her expectations for her marriage to Rong Junlie were no longer so high. She knew that because of Luo Yan's appearance, her marriage would definitely be delayed again and again.
But it doesn't matter. She, An Ling, has been waiting for ten years. Why is she afraid of waiting for a few more years?
Therefore, she was confident and did not want to put pressure on Rong Junlie. Once she relaxed, she felt much more at ease.
Unexpectedly, Rong Junlie suddenly spoke, his tone was neither low nor deep, and several other people standing around him heard it, including An Yue and Luo Yan.
"Grandpa, my wedding to Ling'er is going to be held next month -"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and even the air around them became particularly weird.
Luo Yan's heart, which was standing behind them, suddenly creaked, as if something had cracked.
With her eyes twinkling, she quietly looked at the man in front of her, only to see his handsome and masculine profile. He was looking at the beautiful fiancée beside him with a rare and gentle smile.
"Jun Lie, are you telling the truth?" An Ling did not expect that Rong Junlie's change would be so fast. She was stunned there at the moment, completely unable to tell whether her heart should be happy or something else.
Rong Junlie's big hands hugged her shoulders, and An Ling's body stiffened slightly. Rong Junlie had never, never had such an intimate gesture towards her in the An family.
Her heart was touched. It turned out that she had waited for ten years and finally moved this man.
She almost shed tears, but because of her own dignity, she couldn't help it.
"Why, you don't believe it?" Rong Junlie lowered his head and asked, with a deep smile. But why did An Ling still feel that his smile was not warm enough?
Did she see it wrong? She blinked and nodded, "Of course I believe it!"
"Haha -" Mr. An, who was standing by, suddenly laughed out loud and said in a hearty voice, "Our An family is about to have another happy event. Haha, Jun Lie, you kid, you did not disappoint me!"
The muscles in the corner of Rong Junlie's mouth twitched as he smiled, but the corner of his eye passed through the crowd and fell on the petite figure behind him.
She seemed to have no expression at all. She stood there and listened tenderly to what An Yue was talking next to her.
good very good!
After Rong Junlie finally spoke about marriage, An Ling couldn't wait to drag him to meet her parents, and Rong Junlie also cooperated.
An Yue then had the opportunity to bring Luo Yan to his father. He was the youngest son of the An family and had never been married, which worried Mr. An a lot.
"Dad, happy birthday to you!" An Yue held Luo Yan's hand and said with a smile.
Mr. An nodded, but his eyes fell on Luo Yan next to him. Seeing this, Luo Yan hurriedly whispered, "Uncle, I wish you a happy birthday!"
"Is this?" Mr. An frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. When his eyes fell on An Yue's hand holding her, he seemed to understand again, but he didn't realize it and just asked lightly.
One sentence.
An Yue hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Dad, she is my girlfriend, Luo Yan..."
"Oh!" Mr. An looked at this girl. She was gentle and pleasant, and she seemed to be somewhat compatible with his son. However, he did not show much joy, and just asked in a cold tone, "
Miss Luo, who is in charge of your house?"
"Uncle, my father passed away, and my mother lives with me..." Luo Yan knew that such a wealthy family must care about their family background, but since she had no family background, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
Mr. An nodded and asked, "Where does Miss Luo work now?"
"I...I haven't found a job yet!"
An Yue, who was standing aside, felt nervous as he listened to his father's questions. He quickly changed the subject and reminded his father, "Dad, Yan'er is here to wish you a birthday. Don't scare me...
…”
"You kid!" Mr. An glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, but he didn't seem to intend to let Luo Yan go just like that.
"Miss Luo, where do you live now?"
As soon as Mr. An finished speaking, a high-pitched female voice suddenly came, "Hey, An Yue brought his girlfriend back?"
Luo Yan followed the call and saw a beautiful woman standing next to Mr. An. An Yue, who was beside him, hurriedly introduced, "Yan'er, this is my sister-in-law, who is An Ling's mother!"
This relationship was really embarrassing, so Luo Yan could only nodded to the beautiful woman.
Behind the beautiful woman, a man and a woman soon appeared. It was none other than Rong Junlie and An Ling. However, when the beautiful woman saw Luo Yan's face, she was surprised.
"Hey, An Yue, your girlfriend looks familiar. I seem to have seen her in a magazine..." Upon hearing the beautiful woman deliberately mentioning the things in the magazine, Luo Yan lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Magazine?" Mr. An's shrewd eyes immediately fell on his daughter-in-law, and he frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What magazine? Miss Luo is a star?"
You must know that the An family has a strict family tradition and will never allow a woman with an unscrupulous fortune to enter. Even those female stars outside have a hard time marrying into the An family, because Mr. An pays special attention to the reputation of the An family.
When asked by her father-in-law, the beautiful woman covered her mouth and giggled, and said hurriedly, "Although she is not a big star, this Miss Luo seems to be all over the gossip magazines a while ago!"
"What magazine?" Mr. An asked in a cold tone.
"I really forgot what magazine it was, but father-in-law, don't think too much about it. In fact, those magazines are just like that. They like to take pictures of some people's **!"
"**? Does Miss Luo have any other secrets that have been discovered by reporters?" Mr. An looked over, and Luo Yan's face gradually became a little hot.
She stood in front of them, like a piece of goods that needed to be scrutinized to see if it was qualified. That feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
An Yue, who was on the side, didn't know that this was his sister-in-law's deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him. He hurriedly came to the rescue and said, "Dad, it's not actually a bad thing. It's just that I was photographed by reporters when I was with Yan'er some time ago!"
"An Yue, when did you get entangled with those reporters again? You must know that your current status is no different than before. Any bad negative news will affect your political career!"
Mr. An became strict, and his serious expression made people dare not look directly at him.
When Luo Yan heard what he was scolding An Yue, her body couldn't help but tremble. She grabbed the hem of her skirt with her little hands and pulled it tightly with her palms, causing sticky beads of sweat to appear.
Rong Junlie, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer, and suddenly interrupted, "Grandpa, it was actually the paparazzi who followed me that day, but because I had a date with An Yue for a drink, I accidentally photographed An Yue and Miss Luo..."
Rong Junlie's words came out easily, and everyone was stunned. Mr. An also turned around, but still asked suspiciously, "Is it true?"
Rong Junlie smiled and said, "It's true. Those paparazzi are very troublesome and always try to find ways to create scandals for me. An Ling knows this!"
"Really, Ling'er?" Rong Junlie asked An Ling who was beside him affectionately. The smile on An Ling's lips was a little stiff, so he could only answer sarcastically, "Yes, grandpa, what Jun Lie said is right. In fact, Miss Luo
It was really accidentally photographed!”
Only then did Mr. An turn his attention to his daughter-in-law, and scolded him dissatisfiedly, "Don't talk nonsense about things you haven't figured out yet!"
The beautiful woman apologized awkwardly, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, I didn't mean anything else!"
"I know, the guests are here, you all can come over!" Mr. An waved his hand, and the beautiful woman walked away, but before leaving, she couldn't help but wink at An Ling.
"An Yue, please stay with Miss Luo, I'm coming over!" Mr. An explained to his son again before leaving.
An Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down at Luo Yan and saw that Luo Yan's face was so calm that there was no wave at all. Suddenly, he felt that he couldn't understand her.
The birthday banquet was relatively frugal, it was a buffet held at the An family's old house, so people came and went without so much restraint.
After Luo Yan ate something, she wiped her mouth gracefully and whispered to An Yue, "I'm going to the bathroom..."
"I'll go with you..." An Yue stood up immediately. Seeing this, Luo Yan immediately held his hand, "Don't be like this, there are many guests here, I just went to the bathroom, you still go with me
, when others saw it, they didn’t say I was being pretentious!”
An Yue thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, but he was really worried that if he was not by her side, the family would make things difficult for her.
But seeing her confident look, An Yue had no choice but to let go.
Luo Yan quickly left the cafeteria and walked through the long corridor towards the bathroom. When she passed the door of the VIP lounge, she suddenly heard a moderate argument coming from inside.
"Damn girl, you still talked about me, causing me to be talked about by your grandfather again..."
"Mom, I just asked you to say nice things in front of grandpa, saying that that woman is very nice. Why did you get involved in the magazine?"
"Why do you say she's easy? What good does it do to you?"
"Of course it's good for me. As long as grandpa agrees to their marriage, she won't pester Jun Lie. Do you understand?"
"So that's it? You damn girl, you didn't tell me earlier..."
Luo Yan, who was standing outside the door, heard the conversation inside clearly. It turned out to be like this. I'm afraid that Rong Junlie's rescue for her before was also to promote good things between her and An Yue!
Suddenly, a bitterness spread in her heart, but she wanted to laugh again.
There was the sound of footsteps at the door, and Luo Yan quickly flashed into one of the lounges.
She stood inside the door, panting softly. It wasn't until the footsteps were gone that she held the door handle with her hand, but the hot hand held down her hand.
When she raised her head, her watery eyes flickered, and an extraordinary and handsome face was reflected in her clear pupils.
Luo Yan frowned and apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong room!"
Rong Junlie suddenly took a step forward, his tall figure completely exposed to the light, and his deep black eyes flashed suspiciously.
"Are you so anxious that you want to avoid me?" His expression was innocent, and his expression was so bland that there was nothing unusual about it.
Luo Yan was stunned, unable to refute his words, and couldn't help but smile in her heart. If they didn't avoid each other, what else could they say?
"Do you have time when you get back? I didn't eat much at night, so I want to find someone to have a late-night snack with..." Rong Junlie suddenly spoke again, and his tone became surprisingly gentle.
Luo Yan raised her chin, her delicate little face shimmering under the light, and smiled slightly, "Sorry, I don't have time. We should keep our distance now because of our identities!"
"One day, we get married, and you have to call me aunt!"
"Really?" There was a faint smile on Rong Junlie's lips, and he suddenly leaned over, and his hot breath quickly wrapped her petite tightly, "To be honest, I am suddenly looking forward to that day!"
Luo Yan's heart clenched inexplicably. She pushed away the man leaning against her and quickly left his suite while she was still calm.
"Don't forget, I'll wait for you tonight..." The moment she went out, Rong Junlie's evil words came.
She froze and rushed into the bathroom in front of her without looking back.
Luo Yan always looked a little uncomfortable after coming out of the bathroom. She always felt like a pair of eyes behind her were staring at her with malicious intent.
She sat there, not even having the courage to look back!
"Yue, I want to go home first..." Seeing that An Yue was also very busy, and most of the people here today were guests of the An family, Luo Yan thought to leave earlier.
Of course, what she wanted to do was to leave quickly while Rong Junlie wasn't paying attention.
An Yue seemed a little embarrassed because he was accompanying the leaders from the province, "I'm sorry, Governor Lin has just arrived. I have to accompany him. If you leave later, I can see you off later..."
"No, I'll hail a taxi myself. My mother called me to urge me. Maybe there's something going on at home!" Luo Yan replied with a smile. An Yue didn't force her, so she immediately called her driver and asked him to take Luo Yan there.
Yan goes back.
Luo Yan repeatedly refused, fearing that it would trouble him, so An Yue gave up. In front of everyone, he kissed her face. Luo Yan blushed and felt countless eyes falling on her, which made her very sad.
She even felt a little uncomfortable when she went out.
She walked a long way by herself under the cover of night before reaching the road at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, she did not stop a taxi, but instead a black sports car slowly drove up in front of her.
The car was very familiar. Luo Yan wanted to hide when she saw it, but the man in the car had already gotten out.
"What are you going to do?" Luo Yan resisted and looked at the man approaching her.
"Didn't you agree to eat with me tonight?" Rong Junlie naturally stretched out his arm to hug her shoulders, and half-forced her to the car parked on the roadside.
Luo Yan was so stunned that she forgot to resist and let him hold her in his arms. It wasn't until she reached his car that she regained her consciousness. She took a step back reflexively and tried hard to straighten her face, but the blush on her face ruined her efforts.
.
"Why didn't I know that I had this obligation to accompany Mr. Rong when he wanted to have a midnight snack?" Luo Yan said sarcastically as she pushed her away.
"Don't open your thorns, Yan'er." Rong Junlie seemed to be in a particularly good mood, "As we have an unforgettable memory, is it because we find a time to celebrate, because we are about to enter a new life?"
"That's not necessary!" Luo Yan replied hastily.
Rong Junlie's smile deepened, with a bit of evil charm, "Then let's relive the beautiful feelings of the past tonight. After all, we will all get married in the future, and if we look for this kind of opportunity again, we may not have it...
…”
Luo Yan was surprised to see the smile on Jun's face. Listening to his deep and soft voice, her pretended toughness was almost softened by him.
Is he really willing to let her go? Is he really willing to let her go as freely as he said?
Maybe he really just wants to have something to eat with him. For a person like him who can't be true to his feelings, of course he can withdraw his feelings so quickly, haha...
While she was still hesitating, Rong Junlie suddenly chuckled and said, "If you can't be so free and easy, does that prove that you have me in your heart?"
"I didn't!" Luo Yan immediately denied it.
Rong Junlie hugged his shoulders and smiled, his smile so gentle that it seemed to melt everything. Maybe he really let go and recognized the fact that she was going to marry An Yue, so he was so relaxed and comfortable.
It turns out that she was too worried! It seems that there is no need for her to look like she is facing a formidable enemy?
Thinking, thinking, Luo Yan relaxed her body, and she couldn't help but have a trace of smile lines at the corners of her mouth.
"Okay! Rong Junlie, let's go get something to eat, but I have to warn you first, I didn't eat enough at night, so be careful of your wallet bleeding!" Her eyes shrewdly flashed with warning and humor.
"No problem." Rong Junlie also laughed, "My wallet should be enough for us to have a big meal..."
His charming black eyes stared closely at her narrow eyes, with interest in them. Suddenly, he felt that she really had a different flavor to her like this.
After tearing off the cold mask, Luo Yan discovered that Rong Junlie's pair of electric black eyes were really unstoppable.
She soon found that her heart was beating wildly involuntarily. This was something she had never felt in other people, and now she felt that all her senses were aroused by this person, but it was the one she least wanted.
Also the most inappropriate object.

Also the most inappropriate object.
In order to prevent herself from falling into the ambiguous trap he created, Luo Yan hurriedly got into the car.
Rong Junlie's tall body also slid in, and leaned over to fasten her seat belt for her.
He drove very steadily, and the car was very quiet, as if the two of us had never been as quiet as now.
Rong Junlie had always been strong and possessive towards her, and she was afraid of him except for avoiding him. Thinking about the chaotic past, Luo Yan suddenly curled up into a helpless smile.
I couldn't help but raise my head and glance at Rong Junlie who was driving. The flashing street lights passed by the car window, and his looming handsome face became more and more profound and charming under the halo.
Luo Yan couldn't help but be fascinated...
Still remember the night she first met him, how he robbed her without mercy!
I still remember the day they really met. She was still a college student who was inexperienced in the world. She went to his house to do housework, but he was picky about her to death!
I still remember that when she knew he was going to have an operation on his head, she secretly cried all night!
still remember……
still remember……
The past flickered, like a black and white movie zooming in front of her eyes, and Luo Yan realized that for so many years, her life had been filled with this man, silently, everything about him, everything about him, had long been in her memory.
Take root and sprout, lingering...
"Have you seen enough?" The joking words suddenly came out, Luo Yan's mind was shaken, and she immediately looked away in embarrassment.
