After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Chapter 415 Don't Point Fingers

"I..." Lu Yunfan paused after saying one word, his expression awkward. After a long while, he continued, "I've let you down before, so I hope you can be happy in the future. It's obvious that Xiao Yun can't make you happy."

"Happy?" Shen Lan looked at the mirror-clear floor and suddenly smiled. "I think after going through your torture, I can taste happiness in any difficult relationship."

Lu Yunfan was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time, looking embarrassed.

"Besides, what makes you so determined that Xiao Yun can't bring me happiness?"

Shen Lan knew that she and Xiao Yun had no future, but there was no need to tell Lu Yunfan, now she just wanted to overpower him in momentum so that he wouldn't want to lecture her at any time.

Lu Yunfan's throat was dry, and he said with difficulty: "I know that what I said makes you unhappy, but even if you hate me, I still have to say it. Xiao Yun's personality is really not suitable for you. He is treating you well now, and I think it is very likely that he is greedy for your beauty..."

"Heh." Shen Lan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Craving for beauty? People like Xiao Yun have seen all kinds of beauty and can get all kinds of beauties."

Lu Yunfan opened his mouth and was about to speak when Shen Lan raised his hand to stop him.

"I think when two people are together, they always want something from each other. There's no conflict between wanting money or sex and wanting a good character or good personality, and there's nothing wrong with that."

If you don't want anything, how can you attract each other? If you have no desires or demands, what's the point of being in love?

In an old novel I read when I was a child, the heroine of Sparrow said proudly, "I don't love the hero's money and status. I love his versatility, his ability to protect me, and his noble temperament."

At first glance, she seems so noble, but if you think about it, isn't her versatility cultivated through money? Her protection is largely due to her family background and status. Her noble temperament is also the product of years of pampering.

A mess of thoughts flashed through Shen Lan's mind. The elevator door opened and Lu Yunfan was still following her, chattering and admonishing her.

When I heard him say, "I think you just regard his appearance as a kind of salvation. If you step out of it, you might find that this is not like or love at all."

Shen Lan paused, suddenly turned his head to look at him, looked him up and down, as if thinking.

"I think what you said is right, and I agree with it."

Lu Yunfan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but show a flash of joy.

Seeing this, Shen Lan's smile deepened, and he continued, "Now that I've stepped out of this and look back, my love for you before wasn't a romantic one, it was just a kind of dependence."

"When my parents passed away, you were really good to me. When I was alone and helpless, you were the only one by my side, so I regarded you as my only salvation and clung to you as a lifeline, thinking that this was love."

"It seems I was wrong. No wonder you were so troubled and annoyed afterwards. I'm sorry. I overestimated my own abilities and was wishful thinking. I apologize."

Lu Yunfan's smile froze. He didn't expect the boomerang to hit him. He suddenly looked panicked: "No, that's not what I meant..."

"So, I think I won't accept the compensation you offered me. After all, I misunderstood your intentions and mistook your pity for love."

After Shen Lan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to go back.

Lu Yunfan quickly grabbed her wrist: "Shen Lan, don't leave, I didn't mean that. I just... just..."

He was angry and anxious, his eyes filled with tears and reddened. "You didn't misunderstand me. I loved you back then and considered you my future wife. I also promised to protect and cherish you for the rest of my life. If I hadn't wanted to marry you, I wouldn't have said "for the rest of my life." It was a sign of my love to you, and you didn't misunderstand me."

Shen Lan's eyes fell on his hand, and his tone was cold: "Let go."

Lu Yunfan pursed his lips and slowly let go of her.

Shen Lan turned her wrist and looked up at him: "Do you think that since you've given me so much, you can dictate my life? If that's the case, I don't want any compensation from you."

She doesn't want to have an extra father just for a little money.

Lu Yunfan shook his head: "I won't say anything more, don't be angry."

Seeing him like this, Shen Lan felt depressed and irritated.

Lu Yunfan acted like she was bullying him.

It was obvious that he was the one who was going to give the compensation, but he announced it without her consent. It was obvious that he also needed her attitude to win over the shareholders on the board of directors.

Shen Lan took a deep breath, looked towards the company's main entrance, and reminded Lu Yunfan: "Adjust your expression. Reporters are already gathered at the door."
