Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 277

When Yan Lan walked out of the bathroom, there was no one outside.

She almost instinctively walked towards the lounge, but stopped abruptly when she reached the door.

She stood at the doorway, slightly out of breath, her hand hovering in mid-air, hesitating whether to push the door open.

Just then, an ambiguous sound came from the room, the suppressed sounds intertwined, piercing her heart.

Yan Lan's heart sank sharply, the pain was intense, and even her fingertips trembled slightly.

She took a step back and leaned against the cold wall. After a long while, a bitter smile appeared on her lips, as if mocking her own naivety, or as if comforting herself.

"Yan Lan, what are you afraid of?"

She murmured quietly.

Why was she able to act decisively and swiftly when facing Liu Jinnian, but unable to do the same when facing Qin Shi, even though both were acts of betrayal?

She walked to the door again, gripped the doorknob tightly, and beads of sweat appeared on her palms. The cold metallic touch made her heart pound even harder.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and was about to muster the courage to push open the door.

But just then, a large hand suddenly covered her hand, and the warm touch made her freeze instantly.

"I didn't expect you to have this habit."

A man's deep, resonant voice sounded in my ear, tinged with a hint of teasing and amusement.

Yan Lan turned around abruptly and saw Qin Shi standing behind her, less than half a meter away.

His coat was gone, and he was only wearing a shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing his collarbone. He smelled of alcohol.

Qin Shi looked at her with a half-smile, and Yan Lan's face instantly turned bright red. She subconsciously looked into the room behind her, where the ambiguous sounds seemed to grow louder, as if deliberately provoking her.

She suddenly found her heartbeat again.

"you……"

Yan Lan was about to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow slightly, his smile deepening.

"What, you want to go in and take a look?"

He lowered his head, bringing his breath close to Yan Lan's face, his breath brushing against her ear. Yan Lan's face turned even redder. She took a step back, but Qin Shi's hand grabbed her firmly, pulling her into his arms.

"Someone is coming."

Qin Shi turned his head and glanced sharply at the corridor behind him. His reaction was extremely fast. Almost instantly, he grabbed Yan Lan's wrist and pulled her to a corner.

There was a thick pillar there, just enough to block the two of them from view.

Yan Lan was pulled along by him, her steps a little unsteady, but she did not struggle, she just subconsciously held Qin Shi's hand tightly.

Her heart was pounding, and she could still hear Qin Shi's deep voice in her ear, "Don't make a sound."

Just then, Yan Xue and Liu Jinnian walked over together. Liu Jinnian's face was somewhat gloomy, with deep wrinkles between his brows, as if he was in a very bad mood.

Yan Xue, on the other hand, looked excited, as if she had discovered some great secret.

She pulled Liu Jinnian along and jogged to the door of the lounge. When she heard the commotion inside, Liu Jinnian looked a little embarrassed, her eyes darting around as if she couldn't believe it.

Yan Xue, however, looked excited, her eyes sparkling as if she were anticipating a good show.

She pressed herself against the door, listened intently for a moment, and her voice held a hint of excitement.

"Are they really Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Shi inside?"

Listening to the sounds inside, Liu Jinnian felt a sudden dryness in his mouth. He licked his lips, his voice hoarse.

"I saw them go in with my own eyes."

I knew it; there's no cat that doesn't steal fish. Yan Lan has been pregnant for so long, how could Qin Shi possibly resist?

Yan Xue's tone carried a hint of sarcasm and schadenfreude.

A glint of smug satisfaction flashed in Yan Xue's eyes, and a smug smile crept onto her lips.

"I knew it, Qin Shi likes Bai Xiaoyu."

On the surface, he doted on Yan Lan, but behind her back, he was entangled with Bai Xiaoyu.

"That's great, Yan Lan is definitely going to be dumped."

She turned to look at Liu Jinnian, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Jin Nian, do you think we should go in and take a look? Maybe we can catch them red-handed."

Her voice carried a hint of excitement, as if she could already see Yan Lan heartbroken.

Liu Jinnian frowned, his eyes showing some hesitation.

"Do you want to destroy the Qin family?"

Although Qin Shi was ousted from the board of directors, he remains the heir to the Qin family business.

He thought of Yan Lan, and his feelings were indescribably complicated.

Yan Xue, however, was unconvinced; she gave a cold laugh.

"Then let him go this time."

However, I put a hidden camera inside; it must have recorded everything. I'll come back to get it later.

After talking for a while, the two left together.

The corridor fell silent again, leaving only Qin Shi and Yan Lan behind the pillar.

The two exchanged a glance. Yan Lan looked confused, while Qin Shi's expression was somewhat complicated, as if he was thinking about something.

"Inside?"

Yan Lan spoke in a low voice, her tone tinged with a hint of probing.

She knew the person inside was Bai Xiaoyu, since Yan Xue and Liu Jinnian had both mentioned her name.

But who is that man who is with Bai Xiaoyu?

Her mind was a jumbled mess, and she couldn't make sense of it.

Yan Lan's gaze unconsciously fell on Qin Shi's face. His eyes were calm and somewhat unfathomable, without a trace of sadness or anger, as if everything he had just heard had nothing to do with him.

Qin Shiming clearly seemed to have different feelings for Bai Xiaoyu, but his behavior at this moment did not resemble that of someone who had been betrayed at all.

Why don't you look sad?

Yan Lan couldn't help but ask.

"Sad? Why should I be sad?"

Yan Lan was taken aback by his question. She frowned, her voice tinged with urgency.

"But Bai Xiaoyu is the person you like, isn't she?"

Qin Shi laughed, a hint of mockery in his smile, as if Yan Lan's words were laughable to him.

He shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Yan Lan, do you think I like Bai Xiaoyu?"

It's my fault for not explaining things clearly to you.

My relationship with Xiaoyu is not what you think.

When I told you I had someone I liked during our blind date, it was just to brush you off. After all, I wasn't interested in you then, and I never imagined I would…

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shi decided to reveal his true feelings.

But just as he was about to explain his thoughts, the door across the room opened, and the two of them hurriedly looked in the direction of the door.

At that moment, the two of them only saw a figure from behind.

It was a man. He was walking hurriedly, clearly flustered.

Just by looking at his back, you can't tell who that person is at first glance.
