C7 You're Against It Aren't You?

Lu Wange's expression changed. She looked down and saw the pair of slender hands that were still floating in the air. It took her a few seconds to grasp them and said politely, "Thank you."

Nalan Mingyue stared at her for a long time and withdrew her hand, "Then I will not disturb you. We will meet again in two days."

...

Lu Wange walked to the cobblestone path and her mind was in a mess.

She and Huo Jinglan had such an unclear relationship, she had to stop this matter no matter what.

The family tree was not a small matter. If her name really entered the Huo Family's family tree, then in the eyes of outsiders, she and Huo Jinglan were really cousins. If her private relationship with him was discovered, she would definitely be despised by everyone. At that time, not only her, but also Huo Jinglan's reputation would be affected.

However, in the Huo Family, her words were spoken lightly.

The only person who could change this matter was Huo Jinglan.

She went straight to the sandalwood garden where Huo Jinglan lived and walked to the door. She was just about to knock on the door.

Suddenly, the dark sandalwood door in front of her opened.

A faint sandalwood fragrance wafted over. Huo Jinglan stood tall and straight. His expression was light and faint, but also contained a hint of coldness and introspection.

"Cousin..." Lu Wange called out softly.

"Call me by my name in private." Huo Jinglan interrupted coldly.

Lu Wange was silent for a few seconds and smiled. "Okay."

Huo Jinglan saw the beautiful smile on the woman's face. It was not a fake smile. He was a little absent-minded. His voice was low. "Why are you looking for me?"

Lu Wange looked into the man's deep eyes. She was conflicted whether to go straight to the point or to be more tactful.

After a long while, she lowered her head and said, "I am here to apologize for not knowing how to appreciate favors in Lu Family today."

Huo Jinglan's dark pupils slightly narrowed. "Apologize?"

Lu Wange said with a good attitude, "Yes, apologize."

Huo Jinglan looked at her gentle face. He could not find any expression other than admitting his mistake. After a while, he said lightly, "With your acting skills, you have been working overseas for so many years and still playing a role. It is a little unfair."

Lu Wange did not feel awkward at all after being exposed by Huo Jinglan. She casually replied, "That's why you came back to develop."

Huo Jinglan's eyes were filled with ridicule. He did not continue to pursue the matter. After all, she had come here. The main purpose is not to apologize.

Combined with what happened today, it was not hard to guess Lu Wange's true purpose of coming here.

His voice was calm and clear. "Aren't you and little aunt mother and daughter alike?"

Lu Wange was stunned for a moment and answered honestly, "Yes."

Her relationship with Huo Shulan was indeed very close to mother and daughter. It was probably because Huo Shulan was the only one in the world who was sincere to her.

Huo Jinglan's cold eyes looked at her and his thin lips curled into a straight line.

Lu Wange felt the displeasure of the man beside her. She had always been sensitive to this matter, but when she looked up, she saw the indifferent expression on Huo Jinglan's face, as if it was just an illusion.

"Little Aunt is going to write your name into the Huo Family's family tree. If I'm not wrong, you came here for this matter."

Lu Wange stared at him blankly. She did not expect him to take the initiative to bring it up, and even more so, she did not expect him to guess her purpose.

After a while, she asked, "What do you think?"

"What do you think I should think?" Huo Jinglan's voice was gentle, and he did not sound emotional.

Lu Wange was inexplicably nervous. She asked hesitantly, "You should be against it too, right?"

Huo Jinglan's dark eyes looked at her without blinking.

Lu Wange said nervously, "If outsiders find out about our relationship, it will still affect your reputation."
