Chapter 936: Fall at Her Feet
Chapter 936: Fall at Her Feet
Chen Xuan's gaze kept changing. Since Lan Feilin had started to think along those lines, he might as well go along with her thoughts—it served as a perfect cover for his true intentions.
But he had to strike a balance; he couldn't truly become ambiguous with Lan Feilin.
He needed to give her an attitude that was deliberately vague, making it impossible for her to figure him out.
"Sister Lan, I'm just curious about your past, that's all. I have no other thoughts."
"Please, don't misunderstand me."
Chen Xuan explained with a smile, then added, "If you say I have an agenda, it's only to help Sister Lan quickly adjust to her psychological issues."
"After all, our meeting was a pleasant fate, and now that we're like siblings, I definitely need to care about your well-being."
Hahaha...
Lan Feilin burst into loud laughter, "Little brother, there's a saying that explaining is tantamount to covering up."
"Your words just now have already betrayed you. It's not that Sister Lan misunderstands you; you're the one overthinking it."
"But it doesn't matter, Sister Lan understands you and knows what you're thinking. I can tell you clearly, Sister Lan doesn't mind you having such thoughts."
As she spoke, she gave him an ambiguous smile, exuding allure no matter how one looked at it.
Chen Xuan could only smile awkwardly and not reply further.
Lan Feilin chuckled, "Today isn't too suitable; let's talk about this topic some other time when there's an opportunity."
"Okay, then I'll follow Sister Lan's arrangements," Chen Xuan nodded with a smile.
He couldn't be too hasty; he had to remain calm.
By the time they finished the meal, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.
"Little brother, do you want to stay overnight at my place tonight?"
"I have many rooms at home, there'll definitely be a place for you to sleep."
Lan Feilin extended the invitation with a smile.
Chen Xuan waved his hand with a smile, "Sister Lan, isn't this a bit inappropriate? No one is watching my pharmacy, I need to keep an eye on it myself."
Lan Feilin didn't insist either, nodding with a smile, "Alright then, I won't force you."
"I'll have the driver, Xiao Li, take you back. Wait for my call tomorrow."
Then she called over the driver, "Xiao Li, make sure you get my little brother back to the pharmacy safely."
"Yes, President Lan,"
Xiao Li responded, casting an inadvertent glance at Chen Xuan, clearly displeased and showing signs of resentment.
On the drive back to the pharmacy, Xiao Li remained silent.
Chen Xuan sat in the back, also not initiating conversation.
Soon, they arrived at the pharmacy's entrance.
Xiao Li parked the car, saying expressionlessly, "Mr. Chen, I would advise you not to have designs on President Lan. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Xuan naturally understood the relationship between Xiao Li and Lan Feilin and maintained a calm facade, "You're overthinking it. I just want to help Sister Lan with her treatment."
After saying this, he opened the car door and stepped out, "Thank you for bringing me back. It's too late now, so I won't invite you up."
Humph!
Xiao Li snorted lightly and drove away.
Chen Xuan chuckled, turned around, and walked into the pharmacy.
"What did you talk about with Lan Feilin tonight? Did she reveal her hidden secrets?" Su Linlang asked urgently.
Chen Xuan waved his hand, "She didn't say anything yet, but everything is under control."
"I believe it won't be long before I can uncover her hidden secrets,"
"Hmm, we just have to wait patiently," Su Linlang nodded in response.
Meanwhile, driver Xiao Li took Lan Feilin back to the luxury villa.
"Darling, let me help you upstairs to rest," Xiao Li said with an affectionate smile.
However, Lan Feilin was not her usual tender self; instead, she warned sternly, "Xiao Li, just because I'm good to you doesn't mean you can act recklessly around me."
"Listen carefully, from now on, you are only allowed to call me President Lan. You are no longer permitted to address me so intimately, understand?"
Xiao Li was resentful, "President Lan, why are you treating me like this? You weren't like this before!"
Lan Feilin let out a cold laugh, "Just because we slept together a few times, you think you're my man? I was just playing with you!"
"Listen carefully, you better have some self-awareness and focus on being my driver. Otherwise, I can fire you anytime."
Xiao Li became increasingly angry, "President Lan, are you treating me this coldly because of Chen Xuan?"
Lan Feilin's face immediately turned cold, and she slapped Xiao Li across the face.
Slap!
Suddenly hit, Xiao Li was stunned.
"Who do you think you are, daring to question me in such a tone!"
"Whatever I want to do, it's not your place to interfere!"
Lan Feilin snorted coldly, "Get out! If it happens again, you'll pay the price!"
Xiao Li didn't dare to make a sound, he could only cover his face and leave dejectedly.
In his heart, he was full of hatred for Chen Xuan, but he still harbored a sliver of hope.
That perhaps President Lan was just temporarily fond of Chen Xuan, and once the novelty wore off, she'd lose interest in him.
By then, he would still be the one by President Lan's side, benefiting from it.
That night, as Lan Feilin lay in bed, her mind was filled with thoughts of Chen Xuan; she was utterly captivated.
"The little brother is really handsome and charming, and also skilled in medicine!"
"Only a man like him is worthy of being with me!"
Lan Feilin smiled charmingly, making up her mind to conquer Chen Xuan, to make him fall at her feet...
