The Tycoon Has A Secret Crush On Me

Lan Shao escorted him to the door and closed it.

"Why are you up? Tired?" Lan Shao asked gently.

Fan Rou shook her head, "No, I just wanted to get up and walk around."

After lying down for so long, she felt her whole body was weary.

"Alright, I’ll help you up, take it slow."

Lan Shao supported Fan Rou, helping her stand, every movement was slow, as if magnified in slow motion.

Lan Shao helped Fan Rou to the window, letting her stand there and look at the outside scenery.

Outside the windowsill, there was a loquat tree, and it was the season when loquats were ripe. A few birds were perched on the treetops, sneaking bites of the loquats.

"Why did he come looking for you again?" Lan Shao asked, pretending not to care.

In truth, he didn’t like Fan Rou being involved in these matters; this time, she almost lost her life.

She was just lucky to survive; what about next time? Who can guarantee such good luck again?

After all, Ye Ranran couldn’t arrive in time every single time.

"I just promised to speak on his behalf, nothing dangerous will happen."

"Let’s not get involved in these things anymore, okay?" There was a hint of pleading in Lan Shao’s tone.

"Hmm."

Lan Shao didn’t truly understand, as long as she was still with Ye Ranran, she couldn’t really leave this circle.

Now that the Fan Family had fallen, she was half-retired, and no one would trouble her anymore.

She could live the life she wanted.

Helping Qin An was merely something she mentioned in passing, it wasn’t a big deal.

"Don’t worry, I won’t get caught up in those troubles again."

She was also scared; after all, her injuries hadn’t healed yet. To say she wasn’t afraid at all would be a lie.

"This time helping him was just a small favor, nothing significant. If he gains power in the future, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for us."

Having been in such an environment for so long, Fan Rou, like Ye Ranran, naturally thought more about things.

"As long as you know what’s best." Lan Shao stood by her side, "After you get discharged, I’ll formally introduce you to my parents, make our relationship official, and then choose a good day to get engaged."

Hopefully, we can get married next year.

"I’m afraid that’s not possible." Fan Rou looked troubled.

"Why?" Lan Shao was displeased.

Does she have another mission?

"You said you’d marry me." And that was after the Fan Family fell, when she gained her freedom, she’d marry him. Is she going back on her word?

Seeing his anxious expression, Fan Rou suddenly felt playful, "What? So eager to marry me?"

"Of course, you see, I’m not young anymore. Others my age already have kids who are two or three years old."

"If you were so eager, why didn’t you marry earlier?"

"It’s because I hadn’t met the right person. Now that I like you and want to be with you, naturally, I want to marry you. Given that, sooner is better than later."

When women get older, having kids is risky, and after having them, they age faster.

She loves beauty so much, she’d definitely be dissatisfied with how she looks then.

Fan Rou liked this trait in Lan Shao; he was direct about his hopes, which gave her a great sense of security.

Aside from material needs, isn’t what women seek a sense of security?

"I’m not saying I won’t marry you, so why are you in such a rush?"

If she doesn’t marry him, she probably won’t find anyone better, so why hesitate?

"What are you worried about then?"
