Lan had always been a trickster. While the emotions he shared with Li Zhiqing were pure and innocent, he was still willing to use every possibility to give Mo Lian a positive opinion on himself.
Lan was never a humble person who would suffer in silence. Even if he truly did mean what he said, he would only mention such sentimental topics if he wished to gain something from them.
The branch leader and Mo Lian were not aware of this, but Xue Wei knew it very well. His lips twitched slightly as he noticed how deep in the act Lan was. Even he, who knew him well, was easily tricked into believing that he was speaking on impulse to show his sincerity.
The two ghosts had all their attention on Lan, and thus they did not notice the sudden stagnation that flashed past Xue Wei's expression before he adjusted his mindset.
