Give Me Your Hands and Marry Me

A Miao felt so wronged…

“Shuangshuang, are you all right?” the woman asked, hurriedly helping the girl get up. “Alas, you are bleeding!”

Probably when she fell, she hit the stainless steel flower pot, which cut her skin.

“Sister Zhang, don’t touch me!” Nie Shuangshuang said as her voice sounded like she was crying.

A Miao kindly pointed out, “Her foot seems to be twisted.”

“It’s all because of you!” Nie Shuangshuang said. She was angry deep in her mind and now she was taking it out on A Miao. She said, “If it weren’t for trying to avoid you, I wouldn’t have fallen!”

…

A Miao shook her head. She turned around and wanted to go.

Nie Shuangshuang grabbed her and said, “What are you doing? You want to ask people to come and laugh at me?”

Sister Zhang frowned and looked at A Miao. Seeing that she was wearing a custom-made model of the top brand and appeared on the third floor, Sister Zhang was wondering about her identity.

“Shuangshuang, what are you doing!” She smiled and pulled Shuangshuang’s arm back, and said to A Miao, “Sorry, Miss. Our Shuangshuang is just in too much pain. Please don’t mind her bad attitude.”

Nie Shuangshuang stared at them and wanted to speak, but she was pinched by her agent. So she had to look at her indignantly and say nothing.

“No problem.” A Miao smiled and turned away.

When she left, Nie Shuangshuang complained discontentedly, “Sister Zhang, what are you doing? It was her that made me fall down.”

“When will you be smart?” Sister Zhang said, pinching her again grumpily, “You didn’t see what she wore? You are not qualified for endorsement of these brands now.”

“No way!” Nie Shuangshuang said in surprise, “They looked like ordinary casual clothes!”

Sister Zhang took her to the mirror and urged her to fix her makeup. Sister Zhang said, “How many times have I told you? Since you entered this circle, you should read more fashion magazines. Look at you! You even can’t recognize the classic styles of these brands.

“Moreover, you may not have such experiences since you’ve just come back from abroad. What is this place? It is Jingcheng City! Anyone you meet accidentally may be the third or second generation of the government officials.”

Seeing that Nie Shuangshuang was not talking her words seriously, Sister Zhang said in a serious tone, “If you do this next time and if you offend someone whom can’t offend, the company won’t help you, a newcomer.”

“Sister Zhang,” Nie Shuangshuang looked at her with a relaxed face and said, “There’s one thing I haven’t told you. Do you know my family background?”

A Miao went back to the private room.

“Why did you take so long?”

“I went to the second floor.” A Miao sat down and said, “There was someone on the third floor.”

Ouyang Jin raised his eyebrows as he knew something must have happened, but he did not ask since A Miao looked all right.

Lan Wenxuan also looked at the two people with a meaningful look and then asked, “Have you had enough?”

“I want to have soup,” A Miao said slowly, picking up the small bowl in front of her.

“If you have something to do, you can go first!” Ouyang Jin leaned back in the chair and said, “I will take A Miao back.”

Lan Wenxuan looked at him with narrowed eyes and said, “I was the person who brought her out. Of course, I have to take her back in person, otherwise, our Elder Master will beat me!”

The two men were talking about her but A Miao did not listen. She was thinking about whether the two people who were just in the bathroom had left already or not. Otherwise, when they came out, they would meet the two women again.

“Do you want to eat more?” Ouyang Jin said, next to the ears of A Miao.

A Miao looked down, only to find that she had eaten the whole bowl of soup.

“I’m full…” she said, touching her full belly. She twitched her lips then said, “Let’s go!”

A Miao did not know that when they had just gone downstairs, Nie Shuangshuang came out from another private room with her face particularly ugly. Her agent, Sister Zhang Mei, came out after her.

“It seems that the role is going to be taken away. When you entered the company, why didn’t you tell us your family background?”

Nie Shuangshuang smirked and said, “What are you afraid of? Now we still have time.” Saying this, she took out her mobile phone.

Lan Wenxuan was about to start the car when his phone rang.

“Hello, Shuangshuang? What’s up?

“I can help you, but don’t bring shame on the Lan family, or you shall not remain in the entertainment circle.”

A Miao frowned behind him. If she remembered it correctly, the girl she met in the bathroom before seemed to be called Shuangshuang…

“Do you like actresses too?” When he hung up the phone, Ouyang Jin asked casually, “Or a formal girlfriend?”

“What!” Lan Wenxuan stepped on the gas pedal and said, “She’s the daughter of a relative, just entering the entertainment circle. Someone was trying to steal her resources.”

Saying this, Lan Wenxuan called his secretary to let him deal with it.

A Miao thought, “It seems to be the same person…”

Back at the Lan family’s place, Elder Master Lan was very interested in asking where A Miao had been. A Miao not only said a lot but also told a few small stories about the Forbidden City.

“The tour guide said that, although I think it’s very…” She squeezed her nose and said, “It’s more like a fictional ghost story.”

Lan Lixiao laughed and said, “How can they be true!”

“Miss Elder listened really carefully,” Uncle Fu said with a smile. “A lot of people go to the attractions and don’t listen to the guides at all. They only want to take photos!”

After his words, A Miao shouted, “Oh, I forgot to take photos!”

“Haha!” Lan Lixiao laughed. He looked at her distressed appearance as if he had seen something funny, and he touched the head of A Miao. He said, “It is not difficult if you want to take photos. Go again tomorrow!”

Lan Wenxuan, who had been watching the two people silently, had no choice but to open his hand. He said, “Grandpa, I have a meeting tomorrow. I have no time to accompany A Miao.”

“She is your sister!” Lan Lixiao stared at him and said, “Show your respect!”

“Her birthday was later than mine!” Lan Wenxuan answered. He did not want to call A Miao sister. In his opinion, this woman was no more than an illegitimate child.

“If not for her looking like my grandmother and elder uncle, who have passed away, how could she be qualified for the Lan family? Let alone that Elder Master cares for her so much…”

“She is your sister anyway!” Lan Lixiao said and looked at him with dissatisfaction, “A Miao was alone before. Now since she has returned home, you should take care of her and not let others bully her.”

After Lan Lixiao finished his words, the mood in his eyes changed. He said, “I’ve said it before. No one can bully A Miao. Keep that in mind.”

“I know, grandpa!” Lan Lixiao said. He was too familiar with Elder Master’s eyes. It had already been a threat. He dared not and could not resist.

It was A Miao who smiled naughtily and said, “Grandpa, let Wenxuan call me A Miao, or it sounds like I’m quite old!”

“Oh, how can that be?” Elder Master said, very persistent in this matter, “He must call you sister!”

Lan Wenxuan quickly stood up when he heard that and said, “Sister!”

This was not enough, he even bowed in a proper manner.

“What do you say it like this?” A Miao said and quickly stepped aside, “No need to be so formal!”

Lan Lixiao was satisfied this time and said, “Yes, that is my good grandson!”

“Well, Grandpa, it’s time for rest now,” A Miao said. She looked at her watch. It was almost 10 o’clock.

Uncle Fu saw that Lan Lixiao allowed A Miao to help him stand up. Uncle Fu sighed. “It’s good to have Miss Elder back! It used to take a long time to persuade Elder Master to go to bed.”

After sending Lan Lixiao back to the room, when A Miao turned back upstairs, she saw Lan Wenxuan standing there.

“Do you have something to say?” she asked voluntarily.

Lan Wenxuan stared at her and said, “Do you know who Ouyang Jin is?”

“…” “I do know, but I can’t tell you.”

“Well, I am not familiar with him!” A Miao said, smiling, “Why do you ask such a question?”

Lan Wenxuan found her eyes to be very calm. He frowned and thought he might be overthinking their relationship. But he continued to say, “There is no shortage of women around him. Almost every night, he has women to accompany him. You are Miss Elder of the Lan family. Don’t degrade yourself.”

“Thank you!” A Miao tilted her head and said, “I never thought about it.”

Seeing that Lan Wenxuan did not want to keep asking and was about to turn away, A Miao stopped him.

“Although I just came back and I don’t know a lot of things, I am a woman anyway, and in the end, women will get married to someone,” A Miao said, seeing him turning around slowly.

“What do you want to say?” Lan Wenxuan asked.

A Miao shrugged her shoulders and said, “I believe you understand what I mean. You know better about who you should be careful about.”

“It seems… I’ve misjudged you,” Lan Wenxuan said. He stared at her for a long time and suddenly smiled. He said, “You are right. I should not be wary of you, instead, I should be friendly with you. After all, you are the child that Grandpa cares most about now.”

After that, he waved his hand and left. He said, “Good night!”

A Miao looked at him until he left the hall and then she returned to the room. Probably because she had made contact with Shen Xinglan, she felt a lot more relaxed today, soaking in the bathtub and humming.

“Ouyang is right. My purpose is not to fight with the Lan family. I don’t care about what they care about, so it would be best if we could get along with each other in peace. If not, we shall not be opponents.”

A Miao thought of the man that Ouyang had mentioned, the youngest son of Lan Lixiao. According to Ouyang, that guy might be her biggest trouble…

Ouyang Jin was now talking to Le Yi on phone.

“Didn’t you say that you only have contact with the youngest son of the Lan family? When did you know about the grandchildren of the Lan family?” Le Yi asked. He knew that Ouyang had been to Jingcheng City, but he thought that Ouyang’s entry point was the youngest son. He did not expect that Ouyang would know someone else.

Ouyang Jin’s eyes flashed and he said, “This is all because of Shishi.”

“What? What does it have to do with her?”

“Lan Wenxuan once pursued Shishi on her gambling boat. He had a conflict with someone else because of her, and I was the one who solved the conflict later on.” Thinking of the past, Ouyang Jin’s expression turned a little lonely.

“But at that time, he hid his identity. I didn’t recall him until I saw his photo.” Ouyang Yan smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Although this Lan Wenxuan is not a good person, he knows the current affairs and is not greedy.”

Le Yi answered shortly on the other side of the phone, “Anyway, you should be careful and take good care of A Miao.”

Time flew by. With the first snow, the banquet hosted by the Lan family for A Miao was also coming. In the second week before the banquet, a designer came and made her a custom-made dress. On the afternoon of the dinner, the styling designer came as well.

“Miss Elder!” Uncle Fu called out and knocked on the door.

A Miao had been annoyed by the designer. The designer always thought that something was missing.

“Come in!” She hurried to the door and said, “Is Grandpa looking for me?”

Uncle Fu said, holding a box in his hands, “Haha! Elder Master said that he did not want to disturb you, so he specially sent me over.”

“What’s this?” A Miao asked and took it.

“Open it and you will find out!” Uncle Fu said, looking at her, “It should be a good fit for today’s Miss Elder.”
