An Nuan watched as the fire died. She got up to leave but suddenly stopped when she remembered something. "How do you want me to deal with the assassin Lu Zifan sent?"

"Tell him to continue working for Lu Zifan," He Lanjin said. "He will be our mole. As long as he gives Lu Zifan something useful, the young master will keep him on his side."

He Lanjn wanted to see who Lu Zifan's backer was and why he was coming for the He family. Did he have a grudge against He Wenqing? Was he coming for the He Lan family?

"Got it. All right, I'm heading out," An Nuan said. "And for the love of everything that's good, be careful."

Before she left the room though, An Nuan stopped to casually open the boxes that she saw by the table. She said in surprise, "Did your Aunt send you packages again?"

"Yeah, she's afraid I'll starve to death on the streets," He Lanjin replied.

An Nuan took a stack of money from one of the boxes, felt its heft and threw it back in the box. "Does your family need another adopted daughter? If they do, can you put in a suggestion for me? Tell me the truth; will He Wenqing and Tang Zhilin raise me? Or what about your Aunt? Does she need a daughter-in-law?"

"Bah, we have more than enough trouble in the family," He Lanjin said as she chased An Nuan away.

Before An Nuan left, He Lanjin stuffed two stacks of money into An Nuan's arms. An Nuan hugged the stacks to her bosom, and with a wide grin, left the hotel room.

"Ah yes, last night's call," He Lanjin said, suddenly remembering the phone call Lu Zifan made. She tried to hack into Lu Zifan's call records with her phone, but the call last night was encrypted. When she decrypted it, she found that the call had been deleted.

No matter how hard she tried, she could not recover the call.

He Lanjin might have missed this opportunity, but she believed that Lu Zifan would be tempted to make a move soon. Just like Qiao Hanye said, she needed to be patient and wait for the right moment to strike.

He Lanjin got someone to carry the box away and got ready to leave. Before she left the room, she saw the scarf that Shen Biqiong left behind. Picking it up, she thought about Shen Biqiong's gentleness and warmth. He Lanjin could not help but smile.

After checking out of the room, He Lanjin decided to return to the studio.

Just as she exited the hotel, He Lanjin saw Lu Zifan walking towards her with a bouquet of roses in one arm. "Ah Jin," Lu Zifan said as he flashed her a smile. "I miss you."

He Lanjin did not say anything; she merely looked at him, her smile cold.

Lu Zifan withdrew his hand awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

His face contorted when he thought about what happened the previous night. "I heard you got hurt last night," Lu Zifan asked with concern. "Is it serious?"

"What do you think?" He Lanjin asked, keeping her distance from Lu Zifan. She looked at the flowers he was holding, making him very uncomfortable. He awkwardly ran one hand through his hair and said, "Xiaoxue is really confused. She shouldn't have played with the knife even if she drank too much. I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt. Otherwise, my heart would bleed to death."

He Lanjin was silent.

He Lanjin's silence gave Lu Zifan a boost of confidence. "Ah Jin, are you still thinking about the scandal?" he asked. "News reporters have turned the city into a mess, spreading rumors without verifying the truth. But don't worry, I have already discussed matters with Uncle. We will set the wedding date in a few days."

"I'll make you the happiest woman in the world," Lu Zifan added.

He Lanjin took off her sunglasses and looked at Lu Zifan straight in the eye. "Everyone says that marriage is the tomb of love. Before I go to the tomb, what guarantee do you have for me? Why don't you transfer your shares of the Lu Corporation to me? We can go and register the pre-marital property transfer right now."

Lu Zifan's face darkened when he heard what He Lanjin wanted. He looked conflicted as he said, "Ah Jin, don't make a scene."

"You don't lie to women like this often, do you?" He Lanjin said, her eyes turning crafty. "If you don't give me shares and money, how can I become the happiest woman in the world?" She pouted, her face turning sad.

He Lanjin was obviously making things difficult for Lu Zifan. She could easily break the engagement off herself, but wanted to give Shen Biqiong a chance to practice her skills. After all, this aunt of hers was both gentle and cruel. How could she not let Lu Zifan have fun with someone who had once beaten up the commander?
