An Lan stood up, her long skirt fluttering in the wind. Gu Ruoyun looked at An Lan, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with her. This feeling, however, was impossible to express in words.

"Hello, how is he?" She thought of the river. She hadn't seen him since that night.

After the incident at the hotel, it was as if the river had disappeared. Since An Lan was now safe, he believed that the river was the same.

"Him? You don't have to worry. " When Gu Ruoyun mentioned the river, An Lan clenched her small hands into fists, and a trace of killing intent flashed across her eyes.

Gu Ruoyun turned her head away. She looked at the lotus in the pool and didn't notice the killing intent in An Lan's eyes. She only saw An Lan walk towards Gu Ruoyun step by step and place her hand behind Gu Ruoyun's neck.

"What are you guys talking about?" At this moment, Nangong Lan walked over. When she saw that Gu Ruoyun and An Lan were talking, she curiously asked in a loud voice.

Strangely enough, the servant said she had an American long distance call, and when she went to answer the phone, she found that the phone was not speaking to anyone on the other end of the line. The number was also unfamiliar and she did not recognize it.

Later on, when she hung up and called back, the other party did not speak either. There was only the sound of rustling flesh and Nangong Lan was abnormally depressed.

When An Lan heard Nangong Lan's voice, she quickly retracted her small hand and looked at Nangong Lan unwillingly. She had only used a small method to lure Nangong Lan away. She never expected Nangong Lan to return so quickly.

"I didn't expect Gu Ruoyun to be here when I came out for a walk, so I just casually chatted about you guys. I didn't expect you guys to be so interesting. It can be seen that we don't get to know each other without fighting." An Lan gently smiled and sat on a rock. Gu Ruoqing also turned around to see that Nangong Lan had already walked to her side.

At this moment, the servants brought some snacks and fruits, as well as some tea that had been brewed, and placed them on a stone table by the side.

"Come and have a taste, this is my favorite afternoon tea. It's rare for the three of us to have a chance to sit together, let's eat and chat." Gu Ruoyun enthusiastically urged. Gu Ruoyun and An Lan looked at each other and walked forward to sit on the stone bench.

The three women sat there, talking and laughing like three good friends.

No one could tell that the three women had their own thoughts.

An Lan had used Gu Ruoyun, as well as Nangong Lan. However, Nangong Lan had a different goal towards Gu Ruoyun. Gu Ruoyun had foolishly believed that she was in cahoots with An Lan, so she didn't think too much about it.

At 5 PM in the afternoon, the driver walked into the back garden and saw Gu Ruoqing and Nangong Lan chatting with An Lan. However, he came to disturb them.

"Miss Gu, it's about time to go back." The driver stepped forward and said. Gu Ruoyun turned around and saw that the driver and his two bodyguards had come to invite them over.

She had promised Zhang Yilan that she would be back before 5: 30 PM. However, the distance from here to the villa in Leng Lian City was just half an hour's drive away.

"I'll be going first. I'll come back and play with you guys next time. An Lan, you should be staying here for a long time, right?" The three of them chatted for over an hour before each of them started to talk about interesting things around them. Time flew by so quickly, it was already dusk.

"Don't worry, I'll come to the villa to play with you when I'm free. But the prerequisite is that you have to tell big brother Leng Liancheng to let me in. I've already gone to find you a few times, but even the bodyguards won't let me in."

"Alright, then I'll leave first." Gu Ruoyun knew it was time for her to go back. At that moment of happiness, she realized that she hadn't been this happy in a long time.

After leaving the villa, only An Lan and An Lan were left in the garden.

"Looks like she really believes me." Nangong Lan's face instantly changed back to her original arrogant look. She lazily placed a piece of dessert in front of him. With a cold smile, her cold eyes were filled with mockery.

After interacting with Gu Ruoyun for a few hours, she finally discovered that Gu Ruoyun was a stupid woman and easily trusted others. At this moment, she realized that An Lan understood Gu Ruoyun even more than she did.

Of course, these weren't the main point. The main point was that she now knew how to deal with Gu Ruoyun. This woman didn't seem as difficult to deal with as she had imagined.

"Like I said, sometimes there's nothing you can't do with your heart." An Lan was playing her drum at the side. She knew that Nangong Lan would do as she said. This way, she wouldn't have to worry that Gu Ruoyun would return to He Luo's side.

When Gu Ruoyun mentioned the river, she had an impulse to end Gu Ruoyun here. Unfortunately, she was unable to do anything because of Nangong Lan's appearance.

"An Lan, do you like my brother? Last time at the hotel, I was rude to you, so don't take it to heart. As for my brother, I'll settle it for you. Although Nangong Lan was somewhat scheming, she was not someone who had fought with An Lan for many years. Furthermore, she did not want to owe others favors. Now, she believed that An Lan was doing it for her own good.

An Lan's face turned slightly red. She nodded and did not say anything. She did not admit or deny anything. She just let Nangong Lan think about her own nodding. She was too lazy to explain.

"Alright, let's do it." She stood up and strode into the villa humming a song, no longer paying attention to An Lan.

An Lan was standing alone in the backyard. She saw a group of bodyguards standing in a certain area. She wanted to move forward, but stopped after a few steps. She looked at that place thoughtfully before walking into the villa.

After Gu Ruoyun got on the car, her heart felt much better, and her mood became especially cheerful.

"Why did they stop?" Gu Ruoyun noticed that the car had stopped and asked curiously. At this moment, the driver and the bodyguard got out of the car to check on the car.

A minute later, one of the bodyguards told her that the car seemed to be broken down and asked her to wait. They called the other bodyguards in the villa to come and pick up Gu Ruoqing.

"Is it broken?" Gu Ruoyun looked at him in disbelief. It was outside again, and now that the sun had set and the sky was covered in dark clouds, it looked like it was going to rain.

"Then I'll get out of the car and take a walk." As Gu Ruoyun said this, she pushed open the door of the car and was about to get off. The bodyguards were busy fixing the car, but there was no one else around, so Gu Ruoyun was allowed to stand by and watch.

At this moment, the phone in Gu Ruoyun's pocket rang. The phone that she was carrying was given to her by An Lan. Other than An Lan, no one else knew the phone's number.

"Hello." Gu Ruoyun picked up the phone and tried to keep her voice down, afraid that the bodyguards would hear her.
