"…Why should I scheme against my father like that?" Huyan Lanruo asked with a frown on her face.
The two were alone in this room, but Alan still approached her face while speaking softly, "How are you scheming against your father if this effectively helps out the entire Huyan Family? If this deal is revealed, the Huyan Family can renegotiate a deal with the Alchemy Association and save quite a wealth of their wealth. The other families can also do the same. Why are you allowing the Snow Wind Family and the Alchemy Association to hoard all the profit?"
Alan's words were compelling. Huyan Lanruo spoke with a calm tone, "…I understand. I will talk to my father about this issue. I have a question, though."
Alan could guess her question and asked, "You want to know why I am not using my own family to inquire about this matter, right?"
Huyan Lanruo was slightly startled and nodded, "That's right. The Alchemy Association shouldn't be able to resist the pressure from the Sacred Family."
"…There is a reason I can't have my family investigate this deal between the Alchemy Association and the Snow Wind Family. Firstly, my relationship with my father and other elders isn't that good. Secondly, people might believe that this is the Sacred Family's trick to criticize the Snow Wind Family. That would be detrimental to the Sacred Family's prestige."
"However, if this doubt emerges from the Huyan Family, no one will think that this is a scheme because of the close relationship between the Huyan Family and the Snow Wind Family."
"…Woah. You have indeed spent quite a bit of thought into this," Huyan Lanruo spoke. She was honestly impressed by how deeply Alan had analyzed this issue.
"It's only natural that I would think so deeply. This is a very grave issue because if the prices of these pellets and elixirs continue to rise, it will be impossible for the general public ever to afford them. This would weaken the entire Glory City as a whole. Thus, this increasing price has to be quickly controlled," Alan spoke.
In response, Huyan Lanruo rolled her eyes and spoke, "That's not the true reason you want me to do that. In reality, you want to use this opportunity to weaken the Snow Wind Family's prestige, right?"
"Perhaps…" Alan had a mysterious smile as he heard those words.
Huyan Lanruo was delighted to know that she had guessed correctly. She felt incredibly proud. She looked at Alan and spoke, "Was that all you needed to talk to me?"
"That's right," Alan spoke.
Huyan Lanruo spoke while trying to maintain a calm face, "This room is booked for the night. It would be a waste to leave now."
Alan raised his brow at that question and showed a confused expression. In reality, he understood what Huyan Lanruo was suggesting. This was in line with his plan.
"…You are right about that," Alan spoke while gazing at Huyan Lanruo.
Huyan Lanruo blushed a bit and spoke, "Please close your eyes. The last time we were together, I was the one who went along with your request."
Alan knew what she was planning and closed his eyes.
He could sense Huyan Lanruo approach him, and soon enough, his lips were touched by something soft.
Alan's eyes snapped open with a shocked look in them. However, the shocked look soon faded, and he kissed her back while pushing her onto the bed.
Alan was soon on top of Huyan Lanruo. After they stopped kissing, Alan started stripping Huyan Lanruo of her clothing.
Huyan Lanruo was extremely shocked to see Alan suddenly stripping her. But she didn't stop him. In fact, she was a bit expectant about it.
After Alan removed her one-piece dress, in this world, there was no bra or any other undergarments, so after removing that dress, Alan gazed at Huyan Lanruo's naked body.
With a smile, Alan and Huyan Lanruo were engaged in sexual activity for nearly the entire night.
The sun had already risen by the time the two proceeded to sleep.
Huyan Lanruo's ass was sore as it had been smacked repeatedly in the night. There were bite marks all over Huyan Lanruo's upper body. Even on large breasts.
There was a blood-stained mark on the bed. As of this moment, Huyan Lanruo was cuddling with Alan with a slight smile on her face.
Her first time was undoubtedly painful, but she started to experience immense pleasure soon enough.
She had no idea that there were so many positions. Moreover, Alan seemed quite experienced in these positions, which made her wonder how he gathered this experience.
Meanwhile, Alan had achieved his objective this night. He had to make Huyan Lanruo addicted to him, and he certainly accomplished this objective today.
It would be impossible for Huyan Lanruo to ever slip from his fingers or disobey his commands.
In fact, while the two were having sex, they agreed that revealing their relationship wasn't a good idea. It was more of Alan's idea, and he was leading Huyan Lanruo to this conclusion. This would prevent Huyan Lanruo from affecting his relationship with Xiao Ning'er or Ye Ziyun.
After leaving the butterfly inn, Alan returned to the Sacred Family's mansion.
Huyan Lanruo woke up soon after Alan left and also returned to her family mansion. She recalled Alan's task and was very determined to complete it.
Thus, Huyan Lanruo immediately approached her father and uncle. She informed them that a trusted source told her that there was a secret deal between the Snow Wind Family and the Alchemy Association.
Her father and uncle didn't ask her source since they knew that Huyan Lanruo was quite resourceful and stubborn. If she had given her promise to her source, she would never reveal his identity.
Her father frowned a bit as he heard Huyan Lanruo speak this information in front of her uncle. Huyan Lanruo's uncle was a rumormonger. The entire Huyan Family would soon hear this information.
He had no idea that this was actually Huyan Lanruo's primary objective.
