âWhat a coincidence,â An Lan came back to her senses and greeted him.
âWhat a coincidence,â Xuan Yuanlang chuckled. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette box in his right hand with his left hand and asked, âDo you mind?â
âItâs okay,â An Lan was a little unsure. What did Xuanyuan Lang mean by this? He had been at odds with Nian Junting since he was a student, and they had been fighting all the way until they entered the mall. Was he trying to poach her to anger Nian Junting, however, she wasnât that attractive to Nian Junting.
âSenior...â she said hesitantly, âIf you want to make Mr Nian unhappy, I think itâll be more effective for you to poach Xiao Si.â
Xuanyuan lang burst into laughter, âAn Lan, why are you still the same as before?â
After saying that, he turned to the bartender and offered her a glass of White Chocolate Martini.
âI donât think I agreed with your suggestion,â An Lan smiled and said, âAlso, what happened to me in the past? I used to be quite good.â
âI used to be good, but I only focused on Nian Junting,â Xuan Yuanlang lowered her head and lit up a cigarette, then took a light puff, âAfter graduation, you returned to China to work, so we worked well together. I was quite surprised when I heard that he got married and the bride wasnât you. Youâve been liking him for so many years, but in the end, someone else got him.â
An Lan felt awkward. Was it that obvious that she like Nian Junting while she was still in school? Even Xuan Yuanlang knew about it. Gosh, it was lucky that Xu Baohan wasnât here. âWhatâs so strange about that? It was just wishful thinking at that time, and he didnât like me either. There are many things that canât be explained clearly. Look at how many people fell in love when we were in America. After graduation, they all went their separate ways. As for you, senior, are you considered a dragon among men? You havenât gotten married yet. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?â
âNo, you want to introduce me?â Xuanyuan Lang said with interest.
An Lan chuckled. âYou have such a high status, who else can I introduce to be worthy of you?â
âI do.â Xuanyuan Langâs meaningful gaze landed on her. âYou.â
An Lan was so scared that her body trembled. She widened her eyes and looked at him. âDonât joke around.â
âI was right when I said that youâre the same.â Xuan Yuanlang shook his head. âYouâre just slow-witted.â
â...â
An Lan thought for a while and said, âI donât think Iâm slow-witted.â
After all, she had dealt with so many people in the business world, and she was still able to do it with ease.
âIf youâre not slow-witted, then why didnât you notice that I liked you back in America?â Xuan Yuanlang sighed and shook her head, âDo you think itâs a coincidence for me to appear in front of you as a senior in such a big school? Are there that many coincidences? Back then, I wasnât happy to see you following behind Nian Junting every day. In terms of looks, am I worse than him? In terms of grades, Iâm on par with him, right?â
An Lan felt that she had received some shocking news that night.
The bartender happened to push the wine over. In order to calm her down, she casually drank half a glass and said, âSo youâre not on good terms with Mr Nian because of me?â
She didnât expect that she had the potential to be a femme fatale.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xuan Yuanlang knocked on the table and reminded her, âNian Junting doesnât like you, so you canât affect him in any way. At most, you can affect me. Even if weâre not on good terms, thereâs still academic competition.â
An Lan felt awkward, âWell... I have a boyfriend now. Weâre good.â
âThe man you like must be quite charming,â Xuan Yuanlang stared into her eyes and said, âdo I still have a chance?â
