He Lanjin felt Qiao Hanye's strong grip on her wrist as he took her to the side of the room. She could feel his body temperature burning her skin.

Her back against the table, He Lanjin felt small as Qiao Hanye stood in front of her.

He Lanjin felt extremely nervous as Qiao Hanye bent forward. She leaned back, grabbing the edge of the table. Just as she was about to hit Qiao Hanye with her knee, he reached behind her, accidentally brushing his lips across the side of her face.

"I need you to test drive a car," Qiao Hanye said in a deep voice.

Qiao Hanye took He Lanjin's hand palm up and put the key on her palm. He then closed her fingers on the car key and patted her fist thrice.

"Oh, okay," He Lanjin said meekly as her heart thumped wildly. Key in hand, she ran past Qiao Hanye and left the room. She closed the door, palms sweating. Only then did she realize that she was actually sweating in the middle of winter.

"What on earth am I thinking?" He Lanjin slapped her chheks to sober herself up.

She headed to her room to change into a set of clean clothes. Car keys in hand, she went downstairs. When she got to the garage, she pressed the remote that came with the car key. He Lanjin followed the alarm and saw a brand new sports car.

She could tell at a glance that it was a good car. She excitedly got into the car and sat on the driver's seat.

He Lanjin was puzzled to see a bouquet of roses on the passenger seat, but she paid no heed to it and fastened her seatbelt on. She stepped on the gas in the brand new rose-scented car, catching a glimpse of the doctor Shangguan Zhi rushing in, as she drove away from Scenery Garden.

He Lanjin drove to the city, where she overheard people discussing what He Ruoxue had been up to lately. He Ruoxue had undoubtedly gained a huge following, joining the ranks of famous entertainment celebrities. The only difference was that He Ruoxue became known for her misdeeds.

Walking along the city streets, He Lanjin heard someone calling her name. The voice was soft, gentle, and very pleasant to the ear.

Turning around, she saw a woman dressed plainly. She looked like an orchid in the valley, her beauty and quiet strength showing through her simple clothes.

"Aunt?" He Lanjin said, a smile spreading across her face. "The weather is really cold. Why are you here?" She strode toward the woman excitedly.

Shen Biqiong was a middle-aged woman whose elegance never went unnoticed. Light as a chrysanthemum, she had a beauty that could still turn heads.

"You know it's cold, yet you're still wearing so little? Girls need to learn how to keep warm, or they will suffer the consequences in old age," She Biqiong said as she took off her scarf and wrapped it around He Laniin's neck. "Let's see if you'd still mischievous when that time comes."

He Lanjin snuggled into Shen Biqiong's arms like a little child, saying, "Even if I froze, I'd still have you to take care of me, right?"

"Your uncle and your cousin are always talking about how they want to visit you in Jiang City, but they can't find the time. Last night, I dreamed that you were injured, so I came to see you. Are your father and the others treating you well?" Shen Biqiong asked.

"Yes. Do you think I've gained weight, Aunt? " He Lanjin spread her arms and spun around in front of Shen Biqiong.

Shen Biqiong looked at He Lanjin's face. It was full of joy, but the sadness in her eyes did not escape Shen Biqiong. She took He Lanjin's hands and said, "That's good."

"Isn't this Miss he? So pitiful," A girl whispered softly to her companion as they passed by Shen Biqiong and He Lanjin .

Though whispered softly, the comment did not escape Shen Biqiong's ears. She pushed He Lanjin to a concealed area to ask what was going on. Even before He Lanjin could answer, Shen Biqiong took out her phone to read about what those girls were gossipping about. After reading about what happened, Shen Biqiong's face turned green.

"He actually dared to use you to form a marriage alliance? How dare he?" Shen Biqiong said as she walked out in a hurry.

He Lanjin quickly ran forward to calm her down. "Aunt, please don't be angry."

"How can I not be angry? Our Ah Jin is beautiful and smart. When she decides to marry, she should marry the best man in the world. Who Does He Wenqing think he is to force you into a marriage alliance? This Lu Zifan does not look deserving enough to even carry your shoes. "

"I want to tell your uncle to come and skin He Wenqing," Shen Biqiong added, fuming. "Yes, yes, yes! I shall tell your uncle and your cousin, who loves you like a big brother, to kill him."
