Liu Shiya’s hand trembled when she heard Lan Beichen’s words and she almost dropped the spoon.
“Beichen, you saw the news?”
Lan Beichen nodded and looked at her deeply, “Shiya, since you are willing to retire from the film industry, I will definitely give you the best. After you are well, we’ll discuss our marriage and wedding.”
Liu Shiya heard his words and panicked, “Beichen, I… I…”
Lan Beichen touched her hair gently and spoke earnestly, “I know I’m rushing you too much. I know you like being romantic, so I will propose to you and give you a surprise.”
She was his first love, and even after she left, he never forgot her.
His thoughts were strong: now that she was back, he had to hold onto her tightly and never let go.
Liu Shiya’s heart sank, feeling panicked for the first time.
Her assistant and public relations team helped her with everything, but coming back to Beiquan City was her own decision.
Now that Lan Beichen said all this, she didn’t know how to react. She knew that it had been hard for her to become what she was now, but she hadn’t even stepped her foot steadily into the circle yet, let alone retire already.
She had seen the outside world and she didn’t want to be limited to Beiquan City.
“Beichen, I don’t know what was with the news, that’s not what I’m intending to do. You know that I’m finally at where I am, I don’t want to retire now. You know that this is what I wanted to do the most.”
Lan Beichen froze at her words, and the lights in his eyes dimmed.
“Shiya, didn’t you come back because of me? Don’t you want to marry me?”
Liu Shiya shook her furiously, “No, Beichen, I wouldn’t be back if it wasn’t for you. I want to marry you, but please give me some time. Wait until I’ve established myself in the circle, please?”
Lan Beichen replied indistinctly, “Shiya, you are going to be twenty-eight years old this year, I don’t want to wait anymore. You know House Lan’s situation: the sooner I marry the better it is. Even between Feng Sujin and I, I intentionally dragged it on for so long.”
Liu Shiya naturally understood what Lan Beichen meant; he had done too much for her.
House Lan’s situation was complicated. Although Lan Beichen was the eldest son, his status still wasn’t the most secure. If he marries early and has a child, it’d benefit him.
However, the fact that he dragged on marrying Feng Sujin and waited for Liu Shiya to come back under this circumstance was extremely valuable to her.
“Beichen, I know your difficulties, and I couldn’t forget you either. You know that I never had any rumors about me spread all these years because I didn’t want you to misunderstand me. I was thinking when I achieve my goals, I’d also be able to help you.”
Lan Beichen looked at Liu Shiya and didn’t speak.
Liu Shiya continued, “Beichen, can you please wait for me? Wait a little more… well, how about we settle our marriage first but don’t make it public, please?”
Liu Shiya panicked when she saw that Lan Beichen remained silent. But she really couldn’t marry Lan Beichen, she…
Light glimmered across her eyes as she started to cry silently, like pear blossoms falling in the rain.
Lan Beichen saw her crying and recalled the first time he saw her.
His heart softened, as he still couldn’t bear to see her cry, “Okay, whatever you say. Don’t cry, we can get the certificate first, and we can keep it private.”
Liu Shiya cried of joy, “Beichen, I knew you’d treat me the best.”
