Therefore, Lan Song's enthusiasm towards He Zhilan grew even more. Gu En was sitting on the other side of He Zhilan, but surprisingly, Lan Song didn't try to please Gu En through He Zhilan at all.
He Zhilan did not intentionally avoid Lan Song's closeness, occasionally picking up the conversation. Liu Jiang, sitting next to Lan Song, seeing Lan Li converse with He Zhilan as though they were acquainted, felt envious. Trying to join their conversation, he often suppressed Lan Song, attempting to attract He Zhilan's attention alone.
Because she was protected by Gu En, He Zhilan did not drink a drop of wine throughout the evening. Whenever anyone at the table tried to get He Zhilan to drink, Gu En dismissed them, and eventually, everyone understood that Gu En was guarding her and no one tried to embarrass her further.
