Chapter 272: Joining the Game 15
Lan Hanlu's eyes were sparkling and misty as she looked at Alfred opposite her and reached out to hold his hand on the table.
"Alfred, how can you be so kind? You've considered everything for me. You're so kind that I feel like I can't keep you."
Alfred didn't even care. Lan Hanlu took the initiative to hold his hand for once, but he just felt sad for what she had just said.
She held his hand and said, "Laila, you are the best and unique in this world. I have always wanted to win your heart.
Then I will use marriage to tie you to my side and let you accompany me for the rest of my life. So as long as you look up at me in your spare time, I will come to your side.
It's not that you want to keep me, but that I have been following you from beginning to end."
Love words are very addictive.
Sunday came in a blink of an eye. Lan Hanlu prepared a gift and was taken to their apartment by Alfred. Because he was bringing a friend back, Alfred rang the doorbell.
The door was opened, and the man who opened it was thin and tall. His glasses blocked the light in his eyes, but Lan Hanlu could still feel the sharpness.
But the man soon disappeared from sight, and the few of them went into the house. Alfred introduced them to each other, "This is my girlfriend, Leila Lee." He put his arm around Lan Hanlu.
Then he extended his other hand and introduced, "Dear, this is Liang Anping, a very smart guy, but he's not in good health."
The two people being introduced reached out and shook hands, then parted ways. "Hello." A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but it was only fleeting. He was thinking, inwardly, that this person was even more beautiful and lively than her profile suggested.
"Hello." Lan Hanlu put down what she was holding and lightly touched the tip of her tongue with her teeth, feeling a slight tingling sensation.
She sat down on the sofa like Bella, and Liang Anping sat across from them. He took out a tea set and a smooth tea-making process. The faint aroma of Lushan Yunmi tea rose in the air, and he pushed the poured tea over.
"I drink white tea more often, but I think most of you girls prefer green tea. Try this and see if it suits your taste."
She spoke with a slight smile, which easily made people feel good about her, but everything was arranged and the guests were not given the opportunity to choose. Lan Hanlu could feel the sense of distance.
She had calmed down by now, took the tea with a faint smile, and took a sip. Not to mention that she had learned to drink tea on the island before, she also loved drinking tea in her previous lives.
But she didn't offer any insightful opinions. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's delicious. It's a little different from what I've had before, but it's delicious."
"I'm glad you like me. Before, Alfred said you were an angel. I thought he was exaggerating, but now I see he's not good at complimenting people."
He said this in Chinese, and Lan Hanlu's Chinese words came out naturally. "Alfred is very good, and he is also very good to me."
As he spoke, he looked back at Alfred. The other's eyes reflected clear love, which always made people's heart move.
Liang Anping took a sip from the teacup and said, "Ms. Li's ancestral home is Chinese."
Lan Hanlu lowered her eyes and hummed softly, obviously not wanting to talk about it more.
Alfred, because she recalled the past, held her in his arms and kissed the top of her head. "It's okay, dear, you have me from now on.
"An, don't mention this. Didn't you say you would arrange for someone to deliver the food? How is it? When will it arrive?"
Liang Anping didn't seem unhappy at all. He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "It should be soon. The appointed time is almost here."
As they were talking, the doorbell rang. Alfred stood up and went to open the door. At the door stood a pair of people dressed in uniform, carrying very exquisite wooden food boxes. The person in the lead greeted them and asked for permission before they came in one after another.
These people were well-trained, their steps were in perfect order, and they landed silently. They came to the restaurant, placed the corresponding meals on the table, and then bowed in unison and left.
"Honey, where is the bathroom? I need to wash my hands." Lan Hanlu looked at the time when it was almost time for dinner.
Alfred was taking a drink out of the refrigerator when Liang Anping stood up and said, "Miss Li, let me take you there!"
Alfred, who was about to put down what he was holding, didn't think it was a big deal after hearing this, so he continued what he was doing.
Although Lan Hanlu didn't really want to get along with this person, she couldn't show it too obviously. She smiled and nodded in agreement. She was led to the bathroom door.
Liang Anping opened the door for her and turned on the light inside. "It's right here. A maid will come to disinfect it every day. You can rest assured." He seemed attentive and thoughtful.
After hearing what he said, Lan Han looked up and met his gaze, but she was the first to look away when she saw the gleaming eyes behind his glasses.
"Thank you!" As if shy, she lowered her head slightly, went in, closed the door, and stood in front of the mirror, washing her hands. However, the face in the mirror had no expression at all.
The scrubbing motions on my hands gradually became harder until there was a soft knock on the bathroom door. "Dear, are you done washing up? It's time to eat."
Hearing this voice, the face in the mirror immediately became lively, and even the voice could be heard to be a little happy. "Okay, I'll be right there."
She turned off the tap, wiped the water off her hands, and walked out. Alfred saw her red hands at a glance and quickly held them up to observe them carefully.
"Why is it so red?"
"It just took a little longer to scrub." Lan Hanlu held his hand in her backhand and walked towards the dining table together.
Liang Anping looked at the two people coming hand in hand, the smile on his lips deepened, and there was a hint of depth in his eyes, but no one noticed.
The table was filled with Chinese food, and Liang Anping would occasionally introduce the ingredients and flavors of each dish and let her try it. He was very caring towards Lan Hanlu, and would move anything she liked to her front.
The lunch was quite pleasant and they drank some champagne, but who knew that Alfred would get drunk after each glass. He was so fascinated by Lan Hanlu's beauty while eating that he forgot about his own characteristics.
He drank half a glass of champagne in one gulp, and now he was lying on the table dizzy. Lan Hanlu's eyes widened. It was because this guy's alcohol tolerance was too low.
Seeing Lan Hanlu like this, Liang Anping couldn't help but laugh. Lan Hanlu's gaze stopped him, and he smiled and said, "I'll help him back to his room. Could you please get a hot towel to wipe him down? That way he'll feel better."
Lan Hanlu certainly had no objection. When she came over with a hot towel, she sat directly beside Alfred's bed and unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt.
