Gu En sat in the passenger seat without uttering a word, turning her face away. She didn't look at Lan Li, who was driving, but his figure was reflected on the car window. She could see him glancing over at her from time to time through the window reflection.
Throughout the journey, nobody spoke until they reached the entrance of the Lan Family's residence. Only then did Lan Li instruct her to get out of the car, before he alighted first.
"Brother Lan Li, will you not abandon me if I behave well? Will you not blame me due to what others say?"
Gu En suddenly spoke from behind Lan Li, her voice shaking and hinting at tears. "Can you not berate me whenever He Zhilan shows up? Brother Lan Li, you are my cousin, not hers."
"If you've done nothing wrong, why would I bother scolding you because of a stranger?" Lan Li touched his forehead, slightly annoyed, "I'm going upstairs to rest. Go to your room and reflect on your actions."
