Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The moment the elevator door closed, An Lan let out a long sigh of relief.
Before she could react, her body was pressed against the wall of the elevator. Xu Baohan lowered his head to look down at her, his cold lips curling into a thin smile, causing the atmosphere to suddenly become ambiguous.
“An Lan, we have to get married and have children in the future. We can’t spend money recklessly.”

An Lan’s heart pounded in embarrassment. “Wasn’t I just trying to fool my parents?”
“But I took it seriously.” Xu Baohan pressed his head down slowly, his thin lips resting close to hers. They could hear each other’s breathing. “I’m not an ordinary man. I’m very handsome and charismatic.”
An Lan bit her lips and stammered, “If you do this... I won’t be able to act with you in the future.”
“Yes, we won’t act, we will stop faking and do it for real.”
After he said that, his handsome face enlarged once more.
An Lan felt her thin lips burn, and she couldn’t help hugging his waist.
After a long while, their lips parted, and she took a deep breath. Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong. “Eh, why hasn’t the elevator reached yet?”
Xu Baohan was stunned as well. He turned his head and couldn’t help laughing. “I didn’t press the elevator button.”
An Lan was embarrassed. Luckily, no one came in during that period of time, otherwise it would have been awkward.

After returning home, she entered the house. Before she could change into her shoes, he hugged her from behind once again.
He buried his face into her shoulder. “An Lan, I’ll be here for you from now on.”
An Lan’s body stiffened. She turned to look at his face and her heart suddenly felt suffocated and uncomfortable. No matter how strong she was, those were her parents. Every move and every word they said just now was poking at her heart.

Ever since the incident with An Ning, because I didn’t speak up for An Ning in front of Nian Junting last year, their misunderstanding of me became deeper and deeper. Unknowingly, it became like this. Of course, perhaps because I’m their eldest daughter, they felt that everything was as it should be.”
Xu Baohan looked at her in silence. It had only been a short exchange, but he really felt that her parents were very selfish.
“Ever since I was young, my mother has always said that I’m the eldest daughter. In the future, they will have to rely on me and I will have to take care of my younger sister.” An Lan shrugged. “I study very hard and work very hard to earn money. My parents are very proud people. Back then, I was able to go overseas for study and it brought them great glory. They would tell everyone how outstanding I am, but I don’t have An Ning’s sweet mouth and I don’t act coquettishly. I’m too firm and inflexible...”
“Yes, it’s good to be firm. I like firm,” Xu Baohan nodded, his gaze penetrating. “And An Lan, you are firm because you are the eldest daughter. You want to give the best to your family and support them.”
An Lan’s heart trembled. She felt as if someone had seen through her sturdy shell. Her heart ached, but she didn’t say anything. She just pressed her face against his chest.
She didn’t expect Xu Baohan to understand her the most.
“An Lan, we can’t choose our parents, but I think you’ve indulged them too much in the past. In the future, you can only be strong.” Xu Baohan caressed her, his eyes narrowed, “Don’t let them slap you again. In the future, you can be as strong as you want, because you’re no longer alone.” action
An Lan was stunned. After a while, she pursed her lips and nodded with a smile. “Okay, in the future, I will pretend to be a woman who has been charmed by you.”
