Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: 027 Are they really not familiar?

Everyone immediately understood the purpose of Yan Shixiu’s presence at this dinner today. First, it was to appease An Lan; second, it was to warn those with guilty consciences.

Shi Lan did not feel that Yan Shixiu had come for her sake, after all, if it had been her, she probably would have handled it in the same way.

Gu Chengyu and Chen Beini both found their breathing tight.

Annoyed and regretful, had they known things would escalate like this, they wouldn’t have chosen such a risky way to teach An Lan a lesson.

They only hoped that Yan Shixiu, being an important person, would soon forget this matter; however, they didn’t know that Yan Shixiu was a man of his word and he didn’t believe there was such a thing as a perfect crime in this world.

Still, he didn’t show his calculations.

Only Shi Lan knew just how terrifying this vengeful Scorpio could be when he plotted in the shadows; otherwise, Shi Lan wouldn’t have dubbed him a “cultured scoundrel.”

This meal probably had everyone except Shi Lan and Director Tang eating with fear and trepidation.

Shi Lan was eating poorly and feeling irritated, finally she couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up: “Director Tang, Mr. Yan, I want to go back and rest.”

Yan Shixiu knew she wanted to find a hotel to cook her own small pot, so he held back his laughter and nodded: “Alright, go ahead.”

If it were in his previous life, where would he see such a well-behaved lady?

She always came and went as she pleased.

“Go ahead.” Director Tang also waved his hand.

Shi Lan was finally able to leave the table and quickened her pace to leave the banquet hall, but as she was just about to step out the door, Yan Shixiu suddenly said, “Wait.”

Shi Lan turned around and began to internally curse the man.

“Come here.”

No wonder the audience at the table thought too much; everyone always felt that the way Yan Shixiu talked to Shi Lan was different from others, especially that “come here,” so intimate and natural and with a strong possessiveness. Aren’t the two really close?

Shi Lan took a deep breath, and now she could only soften up to “Daddy.” So, she came back, bent over, and asked Yan Shixiu what instructions he had, only to see him take out his phone and whisper: “Contact information.”

“Mr. Yan… isn’t that necessary? We’re not really close…” Shi Lan was afraid of becoming familiar with Yan Shixiu and then continuously exposing herself; she didn’t want to live so cautiously.

“The long message you sent to the screenwriter has reached me. Don’t you want to change the character setting? For matters related to filming from now on, you can contact me directly.”

What a perfect excuse!

Shi Lan felt she couldn’t find a reason to refuse, so she took out her phone and exchanged contact information with Yan Shixiu.

Then, the female tycoon made a swift exit. It was hard enough living under a different identity, Shi Lan felt she had to let herself and the man leave each other alone, otherwise, just like in her previous life, the bickering would be too exhausting.

Yan Shixiu understood her thoughts and knew that Shi Lan always wanted freedom.

Having been a caged animal in the Shi Family for twenty-eight years, she didn’t want to have anything to do with her past now. Yan Shixiu could grant her freedom, but he couldn’t let go of her position as his beloved.

Everyone at the scene saw the two of them whispering, but didn’t hear the specifics, only knowing that until then they hadn’t even had each other’s contact information, truly unacquainted, even though they had just shared a piece of cake together.

That’s why Shi Lan, who was supposed to be humiliated by the National Couple tonight, unexpectedly shone at the banquet.

Everyone had spent the whole night watching these two, who didn’t even have each other’s contact information, master the art of ambiguous flirting?

Others didn’t know, but Miss Shi certainly felt she was innocent. See how she was avoiding that man?

Long after, the gossip-hungry audience in the banquet hall couldn’t help but ask, “Are they really not close?”

They should be… right?

After all, the difference in their status.

And An Lan is Gu Chengyu’s lapdog??
