The two of them walked one after the other. She walked in front while he guarded the back.

The alley was very long, but it seemed to have suddenly become shorter. The two of them did not have time to say a few words before they arrived at the apartment building in the blink of an eye.

Leng Xinran slowly stopped walking and turned her head to look at Lan Xiu behind her.

Lan Xiu also stopped walking and looked up at her.

Under the dim street lights, she looked very thin. Her fluttering clothes fluttered in the night wind. For a moment, she looked unreal.

Lan Xiu looked at her and his heart inexplicably froze. Then, he calmed down.

“I’m here. Thank you.” Leng Xin said indifferently.

Lan Xiu nodded, his gentle face still showing some gentleness. “Go back and take a good shower. Rest early.”

“Yeah, you too. A lot happened in these past two days, I’m a little tired. Drive carefully on the road.”

Leng Xinran’s reply was very polite. As she spoke, she turned around and walked straight ahead.

However, when she took two steps forward, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She subconsciously turned her head and saw that Lan Xiu was still standing there watching her go upstairs.

He was a gentleman, or at least that was what Leng Xinran thought. Moreover, he was a person who was very particular about details.

How could Leng Xinran not know that Lan Xiu actually did not have any feelings for her? He probably liked the woman called Dongfang Liuyun whom he had dinner with tonight. From the way he looked at Dongfang Liuyun, she could tell that he liked her.

However, over the past few months, he had treated her with great respect. He had always been very accommodating to her. Every time he sent her back, he would only turn around and leave after he saw her turn on the lights upstairs. Every time he went out to eat, he would order the dishes that she liked. Her taste was very unique, and she did not eat much meat dishes. She did not like to talk, and he would not disturb her too much. Most of the time, he would just accompany her in silence.

“Do you want to come up and take a seat? It’s still quite early.”

After some thought, Leng Xinran finally asked.

Lan Xiu paused and was silent for a long time. Then, he nodded and said, “Alright.”

With that, he followed her.

Leng Xinran’s apartment was on the ninth floor, and they arrived directly by the elevator.

“Come in.”

Leng Xinran picked up the key, turned on the lights in the room, and beckoned Lan Xiu to come in.

After spending a few months together, this was the first time Lan Xiu had come here.

The entire apartment was not very big. It looked to be about a hundred square meters. The style of the decoration was somewhat graceful and elegant. It looked like some old mahogany furniture. The light style, like ink, had a unique charm.

It was quite similar to her temperament. It was not difficult for Lan Xiu to imagine what kind of cold-hearted person she was, who liked this style.

“Have a seat. Tea or coffee?”

Leng Xinran closed the door and placed the key on the cabinet at the side as she asked.

“A glass of water will do.”

Lan Xiu did not stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa as he sized up the entire house. After a while, his gaze was quickly attracted by a photo beside the lamp on the coffee table.

In the photo frame was a photo of two women. One of them was Leng Xinran, who was dressed in a long black dress and pants. The other one looked younger and looked like she was in her teens. She was dressed in a light blue one-piece dress and had a bright smile on her face, her facial features were similar to Leng Xinran’s.

“She is Xinling, my younger sister. This photo was taken on the eve of her sixteenth birthday. At that time, she just found out that she had blood cancer and was afraid that she would disappear, so she asked me to take a few more photos with her.”

A cold and indifferent tone was heard. Before Lan Xiu could react, she had already sent a cup of hot water to the table in front of him.

Lan Xiu was stunned. He had previously heard from Ah Li that she had a younger sister who had passed away.

“She looks a little similar to you.”

Lan Xiu raised his gaze and looked at her.

Her eyes could not help but darken as she nodded her head, “She is very understanding. When she was tortured by her illness in the later stages, she did not cry out in pain. I know that she was afraid that I would worry, but the more she did so, the more I felt the pain. She was still so young. The heavens should not have been so cruel as to deprive her of her right to life.”

“The deceased is already gone. Don’t be too sad. She’s free of illnesses in the other world, she will do just fine.”

Hearing this, Leng Xinran put on an indifferent smile. She reached out and took the photo frame. She lowered her eyes and sized up the person in the photo frame for a long time, “There’s no such world. It’s just to let people rest in peace. Even now, we grave keepers are just trying to do what we can for that little belief in our hearts.”

“But you’re still very young. There are still many things you need to do, aren’t there?”

“Not necessarily, not necessarily. There are some things that need to be done. For example, someone has to die every day.”

Leng Xinran waved her hand and cut off Lan Xiu.

Lan Xiu paused for a moment, picked up the water in front of him, and took a sip indifferently.

“What are your plans next?”

Leng Mingyi’s body was not in good health, and the Leng Group was probably…

“Look at the treatment plan from the hospital. If it can be treated, then we’ll do our best. If it can’t be treated, then we’ll leave it to fate.”

Leng Xinran was very open-minded. In fact, she could only be open-minded. Because, was it not the same for Leng Xinling back then?

When she said this, she quietly lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment that flashed across her eyes. Lan Xiu could clearly see it. At this moment, he felt a little heartache for the pressure she had to bear. She seemed indifferent, but it was just a strong front she had put up. Lan Xiu could very well understand that kind of pain.

Was he not the same when Lan Qi died?

He had completely become a loner, just like she was right now.

Could it be that they were both people with tough fates?

“Don’t be so pessimistic. There’s always a way. Isn’t the hospital still looking for a suitable kidney?”

Lan Xiu wanted to comfort her.

Leng Xin smiled. “Don’t comfort me like that. I’m fine. Perhaps everything has a cause and effect. For him to end up like this today, it’s actually… Don’t worry. Even if I take over the Leng Group in the future, I’ll still treat you as my most loyal partner.”

“Partner?”

Lan Xiu muttered these words in a low voice. When he looked up at her, he found that her eyes had returned to their usual calmness.

Suddenly, he recalled the agreement that she had mentioned half a year ago…

“What if, I want us to be more than just partners?”

After some thought, Lan Xiu’s fingertips slightly clenched the cup in his hand. He looked at her and asked calmly.
