Chapter 299 Shen Xinglan’s Pain

The night was as gentle as water. A Miao lay in Shen Xinglan’s arms, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat. She went closer to him, for fear that she would be unable to hear it tomorrow.

“If I have to leave for so long, will Yaya forget me?”

Yaya was only two years old and was too young to remember her, which was cutting A Miao inside. Maybe when she returned, Yaya would not remember her.

“Then, don’t go.” Shen Xinglan clung to her as if he was holding his whole world. “You will be absent from her childhood, and you will not be able to participate when she goes to kindergarten.”

Both of them fell silent. After a while later, Shen Xinglan heard A Miao sobbing.

“A Miao…” His throat moved as he held up her small head in his arms, facing her watery eyes. “We can try some other ways. I will help them find the dragon vein. No matter what, I won’t let you go.”

“Shen Xinglan!” A Miao blubbered. “It’s useless, you know it’s useless!”

“I am going to see Yu Sihan tomorrow. I can’t make you stay but if he can help us, we may succeed.”

A Miao shook her head as she gradually stopped crying. She wiped her tears and said, “Listen to me, since they need us, it is a cooperation. You should think about how to exchange something equivalent with them.”

“Nothing is more important than you.” Shen Xinglan hugged her tightly.

Even though A Miao had felt it difficult to breathe, she didn’t move. She quietly leaned on Shen Xinglan’s arms. “Don’t say stupid words. Now we should do our best to handle this matter. Three years is not very long. Besides, once I’m settled down, we can meet secretly!

“Good idea!” A Miao suddenly raised her head. “Jingcheng City is not far and we can meet anytime. In this way, Yaya will not forget me.”

Shen Xinglan narrowed his eyes and bowed his head to kiss her. “Let me think about it…”

In the Yu’s house—

“Hanhan!”

Seeing the beautiful boy lying on the soft, the little girl ran over.

“Yaya!” Yu Sihan sat up and reached for her. After kissing her on her white and tender face, he said, “I miss Yaya so much. Would you like to see me often in the future?”

“Yes!” Yaya was kissing him while drooling on his face.

Yu Sihan’s subordinates had never seen this before and their eyeballs almost fell out.

Their Young Master had an abnormal fear of dirt or contamination. However, now, even though his face was covered with slobber, he neither got angry nor even wiped his face.

“Since you have come to me, you must be desperate.” Holding Yaya in his arms, Yu Sihan looked at the man standing at the door.

Shen Xinglan came over and sat down with a gloomy face. “I need your help.”

“I can’t help you.” Yu Sihan looked at him in the eyes.

“You are not a native. Even if you took A Miao away, they would not do anything to you.” Shen Xinglan glanced at Yaya, who was playing with Yu Sihan’s jade pendant. “A Miao and Yaya, you can take both of them with you.”

Yu Sihan sighed. “It is a very attractive offer and I really want to keep Yaya with me. But…” he paused, “do you think A Miao will go with me?”

“I will make her go,” Shen Xinglan said in a low deadpan voice.

However, Yu Sihan shook his head. “Have you forgotten what happened on the island last time? You left her there without her permission, and then she still came back to you.”

“That’s because you helped her.” Shen Xinglan said sinisterly, “This time, if you bring her back again, I will kill you.”

The boy’s beautiful face revealed a sarcastic smile. “Shen Xinglan, why would A Miao agree to marry you at that time?”

“…” Shen Xinglan compressed his mouth. “Don’t say that, as if you have ever pursued a woman.”

Yu Sihan pinched Yaya’s chubby feet. “Although I have no actual experience, at least I have seen some things related. I have to warn you, this time, if you dare to secretly send A Miao away, she will definitely not forgive you.”

“Do you want me to send her to Jingcheng City?” A cruelness flashed through Shen Xinglan’s eyes. “And watch her face the unknown future alone?”

Yu Sihan suddenly fell silent, and after a moment, he touched his face and said, “You are right. If I could do nothing but wait, wondering how the one I loved was doing, I would rather kill her and bury her beneath my bed.

“At least I would know what she was doing every day—sleeping.”

Shen Xinglan tried his best to stop himself from flipping the table over. He had no common language with this pervert.

“Use your brain well.” Yu Sihan suddenly picked up Yaya’s little hand to hit him. “The place she has to go is Jingcheng City, where you can go too.”

Yu Sihan’s eyes became dark.

While playing with Yaya, he said when Yaya was biting his button, “It’s not a difficult thing for you. Go back and think about it.”

“Yaya, let’s go home.” Shen Xinglan thought of something as he stood up without saying anything.

Yaya was drooling while looking at her dad. “Ah?”

“Mom is still waiting for you at home. Don’t you want to go back?”

Yaya, who was holding Yu Sihan’s neck, immediately reached out. “I want mom!”

Hearing this, Yu Sihan’s face changed. “Don’t come to me for advice again.”

“I was just passing by.” Shen Xinglan picked up his daughter and turned to go out.

After he left, Yu Sihan slowly showed a smile of schadenfreude.

“Shen Xinglan, I am waiting to see you become a scorned husband in the future…”

A Miao didn’t know that Shen Xinglan had gone to see Yu Sihan. She thought it was just a joke. After all, the two men would have a fight as soon as they met.

She did not expect that he not only went for the suggestion but also took his daughter as a cover.

“Mom! Saw Hanhan.”

A Miao looked with surprise at the man behind her.

Shen Xinglan gave Yaya to the auntie. “Take her to wash her hands and face.”

When Yaya was taken away, he added, “She touched some dirty things just now.”

“Did you really go to see Yu Sihan?” A Miao understood why he had to do that. “Does he have a solution?”

“How could he have a solution?” Shen Xinglan sneered.

A Miao stared at him until Shen Xinglan began to avoid her gaze.

“You didn’t ask him to take me away, did you?”

Shen Xinglan: “…”

“Do you want to send me away again?” A Miao asked angrily, “You asked him to take Yaya and me away so that you can face the trouble alone, didn’t you?”

Shen Xinglan: “…”

“I… You…” A Miao was so angry that her eyes turned red. She smashed Shen Xinglan with a sofa cushion and ran upstairs.

Shen Xinglan had to stand up to chase her and tried to stop her on the stairs.

“Let go of me!” A Miao pushed him.

“No!” Shen Xinglan seized her and wanted to hug her.

A Miao kicked him. “I told you last time, if you dare to send me away alone, you will never, ever see me again.”

“I won’t.” Shen Xinglan held her in his arms tightly. “A Miao… don’t be angry with me. I feel sad.”

“…I know.” After a while, A Miao hugged his head and gently stroked his back. “I know…”

He could not protect his woman. For Shen Xinglan, it was a very big blow. At this moment, A Miao deeply understood that in his heart, perhaps Shen Xinglan was more vulnerable than her.

“Wooo!” A sharp cry sounded and the couple turned and saw Yaya standing at the bottom of the stairs.

The little girl screamed as she climbed up on her hands and feet.

A Miao ran over quickly and picked her up. “What happened, Yaya?”

“Wooo…” Yaya held around her neck and sobbed. “Mom and dad… quarrel.”

Shen Xinglan held them both from behind. “Yaya is wrong, we are not quarreling!”

“Really?” Yaya saw her dad holding her and her mom, and immediately smiled. “Yaya will be good. Yaya is a little princess!”

A Miao kissed her. “Well, Yaya is the little princess of our family!”

In the evening, Le Yi and the rest came again while He Shishi did not come because Ouyang Yu was back.

“I met the youngest son of the Lan family once at the gambling table. He is an unscrupulous person.” Ouyang Jin had already known about the whole thing. He was the only one who had dealt with the Lan family.

“It seems that A Miao has already decided.” Ling Lang touched her hand. “I am with you!”

Le Yi looked at Shen Xinglan, who looked like a dead man.

“Since you have made the decision, then don’t waste time. Reply to them now.” Le Yi thought he could not wait for Shen Xinglan because he would never agree. They had to make a choice as soon as possible.

A Miao picked up her phone and sent a message. Soon after, the other party replied and told her to go to the capital tomorrow. They had a discussion about this, and Le Yi and Ouyang came up with several favorable conditions. However, Shen Xinglan had not said anything from the beginning to the end.

“We both agreed with that, right?” After everyone left, A Miao hugged him. “You have to believe me, just as I believe that you will protect me from behind!”

Shen Xinglan looked at her and finally sighed.

“Miss Elder, please come in! Elder Master has been waiting for you.” The old man in the steward’s clothes hurriedly led the way.

A Miao finished thinking of the past and put on a skillful smile as she entered the door.

“Elder Master! Miss Elder is back!”

In the low-key luxury living room, a group of people was looking at her.

The person who was sitting in the middle was an older man in his 60s. He looked to be in good spirits, wearing a Tang suit and looking at A Miao emotionally.

“Come here! Come here, quickly!” Lan Lixiao couldn’t help standing up.

The woman next to him quickly held him, and A Miao also took a few steps forward with anxiety and hope in her gaze. “Are… are you my grandfather?”

“Yes! Yes, I am.” The older man reached out. “I am your grandfather, my name is Lan Lixiao.”

A Miao let the senior pull her over. A young girl at her age next to him deeply glanced at her before moving away.

“You look very much like…” The old man touched A Miao’s face, but his eyes seemed as if he were looking at another person. “You resemble your grandmother very much!”

“I… I don’t know…” A Miao looked blank and said sadly, “I… I only saw my mother.”

The old man suddenly burst into tears. “It’s my bad… it is all my fault…”

“Dad!” The woman beside him smiled. “You’re scaring her.” Then she touched A Miao’s head. “A Miao, I am your aunt.”

A Miao looked at her, saying “auntie” in bewilderment.
