Lan Ning drove the car into the village, and the scenery inside the village became even more captivating. There were fish ponds, flowers, and houses. If not for his head full of mud, Xue Bao really wanted to immediately get off the car and experience this beautiful scenery!

"Wow, so many fish!" Xue Bao pointed at the stream with his finger and cried out in fear. He excitedly patted Lan Ning's hand and said, "There are still many children catching fish, I want to go too. I want to catch fish …"

Lan Ning looked at her smiling face, which was covered in mud. The corner of his mouth lifted upwards, and he unconsciously smiled along with her. She doted on him and said, "Alright, we'll go after you wash off the mud on your head."

As he spoke, he stopped in front of a two story house. Lan Ning pushed open the door and got off the car, and politely asked a woman who was organizing the fish net at the door: "Big sister, can I borrow your bathroom for a while?"

The woman raised her head and looked at the luxurious carriage in front of her and the Xue Bao whose head was covered in mud. She then smiled and said with a kind smile, "Of course you can, the person who has come is a guest. Miss, please follow me."

"Thank you." Lan Ning was very grateful, he returned to the car, took out a golden bracelet from the cabinet and handed it over to the woman: "Thank you Big Sis, this is a new sample from the company, take it as a present for Big Sis."

Lan Ning opened the box and saw that it was a woman's necklace with dozens of heart-shaped strings. It was extremely beautiful.

The woman retracted her hand and embarrassedly refused, "Then how can I be embarrassed? It's just a little tap water, so it doesn't cost much."

"Anyway, the company took it, so there's no need to spend it." Lan Ning forcefully placed the necklace into the woman's hands. The woman thanked him profusely, then led Xue Bao inside the house.

Although the interior was simply decorated, it was neatly and orderly. After the woman sent Xue Bao to the bathroom, she left him to bathe in the bathroom. When she finished washing up, she was just worrying about how to put the dirty clothes back on.

The woman's voice came from the bathroom door, "Miss, I see that you are about the same size as my daughter. I've found you a set of her clothes, just put it on."

"Great, thank you elder sister." Xue Bao stretched out a hand and took the clothes from the woman's hand. When he dried the clothes, he saw that it was a light blue dress. It was actually a CUCCI dress.

Xue Bao's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously felt an inexplicable repulsion towards this light blue color, but she quickly overcame it. He continued to size up the expensive dress. He really couldn't tell that her daughter was wearing this kind of designer dress. It seemed like it didn't suit her family background at all!

The size of the dress was just right, and the teeth marks on his shoulder that were created by Yan Junyi's bite appeared. Xue Bao had no choice but to let his hair fall down, to block out that piece of ugliness. He wasn't used to wearing such clothes, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

As she opened the door and walked out, she saw Lan Ning's face full of appreciation and admiration as he sized her up.

"You look great in a dress." Lan Ning couldn't help but exclaim. Normally, Xue Bao would wear simple and ordinary clothes. The favorite thing was casual clothes. He could play football after class and play around with his classmates without being affected at all.

"Thank you." He turned to the woman who was also looking at him with an appreciative gaze and said with gratitude, "Big sister, I'll put on my clothes first. I'll definitely bring them back another day and thank your daughter on my behalf."

She was very clear that Lan Ning's golden bracelet was not even worth as much as this dress. It was really inappropriate to wear such expensive clothes, so she had to return it.

A hint of melancholy flashed across the woman's face. She endured the bitterness and smiled. "No need. She doesn't need to wear it now anyway."

"It doesn't matter. We will have a chance to meet again in the future anyway." Xue Bao said with a smile. He didn't notice the endless sadness on the woman's face.

The woman nodded her head carelessly and led the two of them downstairs. When they passed by the door of a certain bedroom. Xue Bao's eyes unconsciously swept across the half-opened door, then stopped somewhere!

It was a woman's bedroom. On the white wall of the bedroom, there was an enlarged oil painting that was somewhat yellow. One could vaguely see the woman in the painting had a brilliant smile, pure white skin, and big eyes …

Xue Bao's heart stopped. He suddenly found himself unable to breathe. He stared at the girl in the photo and leaned against the wall, gasping for air. His legs began to weaken from the shame.

"Xue Bao, what's wrong?" Lan Ning turned his head, anxiously supporting her body, he sized her up and asked.

"I... "I …" Xue Bao stared at the photo with his mouth wide open in shock. Then, his vision began to blur and his consciousness also became blurry. But she still insisted on holding onto Lan Ning's hand and said with difficulty, "I'm fine … Let's go! "

"Miss, are you alright?" The woman also asked out of concern.

Xue Bao continued to shake his head as he dragged Lan Ning towards the door and into the car. When Lan Ning drove the car away from the woman's house, following her pleas, he then asked suspiciously, "Xue Bao, what's wrong? Why is your face whiter than paper? "

"I... "It's fine." Xue Bao didn't know what had happened to him either, so why was she able to see Yi Yuer's photo? Why was Yi Yuer always pestering her?

How could there be a picture of Yi Yuer at the woman's house? He must have seen it wrong, the light in the room was so dim, he must have seen it wrong, Xue Bao thought, trembling …

"You must have something on, I'll send you back." Lan Ning was anxious, the more Xue Bao didn't say anything, the more anxious he became.

"I'm really fine, really." Xue Bao's expression became a little better. He grabbed Lan Ning's arm and forced a smile: "Didn't we say we were going to catch a fish? Hurry, I really want to go! "

Xue Bao shook his head with all his might and tossed all the random thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind. She couldn't think about it anymore, and she couldn't let Yi Yuer control her thoughts to affect her mood. Today was her first date with Lan Ning!

Lan Ning looked at her suspiciously. Seeing that she was really alright, he could only stop asking. They drove to the edge of the creek and got out of the car together.

Xue Bao, on the other hand, didn't have the mood to play. He just looked around and then decided to go home.

Lan Ning insisted that he should treat her to a meal before returning. Thus, it was already nine in the evening when he returned to the Yan Family. After stopping the car at the entrance, Xue Bao gratefully said to him, "Senior Lan Ning, I really have to thank you for today."

Lan Ning took her to such a beautiful place and even invited her to dinner. If she did not see the photo of Yi Yuer that she did not know if it was real or fake, she might have had a lot of fun.

"I should be the one thanking you." Lan Ning smiled.

Xue Bao smiled. He stared at him and said, "You should head back early. Do you still have a show tonight?"

Lan Ning shook his head, he looked at the front of the car covered with yellow mud and laughed: "Wash your car and head straight home, if not my father would remember me, and say that I am going anywhere."

"En, then hurry up and go, otherwise, the air-car beauty salon will be closed." When Xue Bao opened the car door and was about to get off, Lan Ning suddenly grabbed her heart and said: "Wait a moment …"

Xue Bao turned around and stared at him puzzledly. Lan Ning smiled and took out something wrapped in colored paper from beside the seat: "Didn't I tell you before? I have a gift for you. "

Xue Bao froze for a moment. He seemed to recall that he said that at noon. Looking at the gift in his hand and not reaching out to receive it, he laughed dryly, "Senior, what is this? It couldn't be gold or silver, could it? I don't want something that's too valuable. "

She didn't like owing favors to others, especially to a rich young master like him. If he were to give her something valuable, she would feel awkward in her heart, because she wasn't the type of woman who coveted money.

"Don't worry, that kind of thing depends on the person giving it to you. It's a bit too mundane for you, even I can't give it to you." Lan Ning said as he pushed the gift into her arms. He knew that Xue Bao would definitely like it!

Xue Bao laughed loudly, then carried the gift and got off the car. After watching Lan Ning's car drive away, he turned around and walked quickly into the house. He had just entered the garden when he heard the sound of a car behind him.

Then the Pargani belonging to Yan Junyi drove by and stopped shamelessly in front of the main house. Xue Bao froze for a moment, then immediately saw her husband step out of the car. Did he just come back at this time? Then... Did he just see Lan Ning's car going out from under the private road?

Yan Junyi got off the carriage, and only shot her a glance. He didn't have any expression on his face as he walked back into the house.

Xue Bao was apprehensive, so he chased after him and grabbed his arm while laughing and teasing, "Hubby, long time no see. You've grown taller."

Yan Junyi turned his head to size her up, and when he saw the light blue dress she was wearing, a hint of surprise flashed through his heart. However, she soon understood what was going on. Seeing that there was still some mud on her hair that hadn't been washed clean, a trace of mockery replaced the astonishment on her face. He pulled her hand away and continued to walk up the stairs.

Xue Bao stared at his back as he left. His small face wrinkled, and after making a face at her, he followed her inside. As they climbed the stairs to the front of the house, Xue Bao stopped and turned to look at the palatine parked quietly in the garden.

The body of the car and the wheels were covered with yellow mud, the same as the one on Lan Ning's car. Suddenly, she remembered that Pagni had splashed her with water earlier that day. She felt a little suspicious in her heart, could it be that the carriage she was looking at was really Yan Junyi's?

If it was, then he must have done it on purpose. He must have splashed water all over her! However, how could there be such a coincidence? Yu Xia Village was at least an hour and a half away from the Ning City Central District.

Maybe the yellow mud on his car didn't come from the village of Yu Xia. It had rained early in the morning, so it was hard to walk anywhere.

After giving himself some pointers, Xue Bao shook his head and continued to walk inside the house. When he entered the living room, he saw the Old Master Yan and the Mr. Yan sitting on the sofa. The former's expression was unsettled, while the latter was ice-cold as usual.

Xue Bao froze for a moment before obediently calling out, "Dad, Mom, you're still awake?"

Mr. Yan only snorted coldly and did not speak. Old Master Yan stared at her with dissatisfaction and said, "Xue Bao, you are a married woman, how can you ask another man to send you home in the middle of the night?"

It turned out that it was because of Lan Ning sending him home. Xue Bao stared at him and warned him in a small voice, "Dad, we have an agreement before, that my marriage with Yan Junyi doesn't count. I have the right to do anything!"

"But …" Old Master Yan stifled his breath, sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "Could it be that Jun Yi isn't worthy of your love?" He thought that she had already fallen in love with Yan Junyi. Wasn't it because of that night when she rushed in without even taking her life?

"Dad, I'm going up first." Xue Bao did not want to continue, so he turned around and left. Was Yan Junyi worth her love? Whose husband would he be like, disappearing for three or four days without even saying hello?

Humph! She didn't want to love this kind of husband! Xue Bao angrily returned to his bedroom, not knowing why he was so angry. He said that he didn't love her, but what about his heart? When did it start to slowly change? Maybe she didn't even know?
