232: Chapter 232: Father Lan Haishan 232: Chapter 232: Father Lan Haishan Because of the sudden question posed by Lan Kexin, Ning Fan was stunned.
The night she mentioned immediately made him recall the evening they first met.
Lan Kexin had been drugged by Dikas from Mingwang Pavilion, unconscious, and fortunately, Ning Fan happened upon her and saved her.
That night was very unforgettable for Ning Fan.
It was the same for Lan Kexin, who, afterwards, had been wondering if anything had happened between her and Ning Fan.
Even later, out of fear, Lan Kexin secretly bought pregnancy tests and checked daily for one or two weeks, but there was no result.
Whether something had happened that night became Lan Kexin’s obsession, and today, with the influence of alcohol, and with Ning Fan there, she finally asked.
Ning Fan smiled wryly to himself and then took a deep breath, looking at Lan Kexin solemnly, he said, “Kexin, I’m sorry, that night…
we…”
“Actually that night we…”
As Ning Fan spoke, he paused.
Lan Kexin watched his serious expression and felt the tension rising.
Especially since Ning Fan didn’t continue, Lan Kexin’s heartbeat began to race.
“Actually we…”
“Hmm?”
“We…
actually I have forgotten…”
In the end, Ning Fan simply laughed out loud, then drained his cup of wine in one gulp.
His heartless demeanor made Lan Kexin roll her eyes.
“You…” Lan Kexin looked at Ning Fan with a mix of embarrassment and anger, then sighed, “It doesn’t matter, we were both so drunk, who knows what happened, better to forget it…”
But, is it really better to forget?
Lan Kexin asked herself, deep down, she was a conservative girl, and her first time was particularly important to her.
If she really had lost her virginity to Ning Fan that night…
Lan Kexin lifted her head, looking at Ning Fan.
“Actually, this man isn’t too bad!”
For some reason, Lan Kexin suddenly smiled, feeling sweet inside.
After all she had gone through with Ning Fan, having spent so much time together, she slowly realized that he wasn’t a bad person and that he was surrounded by secrets.
The stories behind a man are what attract women the most, including Lan Kexin, who was very curious about Ning Fan’s past.
“If I really did that with Ning Fan, could it be…”
Lan Kexin mumbled to herself, when suddenly an image popped into her head.
It was an image of them together, like a sweet couple, but more like husband and wife, as they were now.
Enjoying delicious food, tasting wine, it was very cozy.
But at that thought, Lan Kexin felt increasingly shy.
She shook her head vigorously, not daring to continue that train of thought.
On the other hand, Ning Fan, when he looked over, immediately lowered his head, avoiding her gaze.
“Goodness, Lan Kexin, what are you thinking?!”
It was overwhelmingly embarrassing!
With her head lowered, Lan Kexin’s cheeks were flushed, yet the corners of her mouth were turned up, wearing a faint smile.
“Are you feeling okay?”
Ning Fan frowned, looking at Lan Kexin with some concern.
He thought she might be feeling unwell from too much drink, and stood up, intending to go over to her.
Noticing Ning Fan’s movement, Lan Kexin quickly stood up, shaking her head, and picked up a dish, calling out, “The dish has gotten cold, I’ll go heat it up!”
“Ah!”
But just as she turned around, heading towards the kitchen, a wave of dizziness from the alcohol surged over her, making her feel lightheaded, and she suddenly became unsteady, about to fall over.
“Be careful!”
Ning Fan, with quick reflexes, hurried to Lan Kexin’s side and wrapped her in his arms.
Suddenly, their eyes met, and Ning Fan and Lan Kexin were deeply attracted by each other’s gaze, an unspeakable tenderness stirred quietly between them, gently touching their hearts.
Lan Kexin was very light, Ning Fan barely felt her weight.
Her long, enchanting hair and snow-like delicate skin, her face flushed with a rosy glow, tempting, and tender lips quivered slightly.
Her sparkling eyes were filled with allure, filled with Ning Fan’s reflection at the moment, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Ning Fan was captivated by her radiant and lovely appearance, momentarily losing himself.
At that moment, Lan Kexin closed her eyes, her eyelashes quivering, and her hands gripping Ning Fan’s tightened unconsciously.
Looking at Lan Kexin’s lips, Ning Fan subconsciously swallowed, but a sliver of reason still preserved in his mind held back his impulses.
“It’s alright, you’re drunk, sit down and rest well!”
Ning Fan put Lan Kexin down and had her sit properly to rest.
Lan Kexin opened her eyes, feeling her entire face burning with heat.
She lifted her head to look at Ning Fan’s retreating figure, a flash of disappointment in her eyes, but soon her gaze was overtaken by shyness.
“It’s okay if the dishes are cold, doesn’t matter, I’m already full, come on, cheers!”
Ning Fan smiled gently, not bringing up the past, not the events of that night, nor what had just occurred.
Actually, nothing happened between Ning Fan and her that night.
He had removed Lan Kexin’s clothes due to the urgency of the moment, struggling throughout the night just to help her detoxify the drug.
But she had been so wild then, leaving Ning Fan in quite the embarrassing situation…
Lan Kexin, with both hands clasping her wine glass, shyly lowered her head to take a small sip of the fine wine, yet couldn’t help stealing glances at Ning Fan.
Thud, thud, thud!
However, just at this moment, the door was knocked on forcefully.
“Open up, is anyone there?!”
A voice came from outside the door, and Lan Kexin’s face turned pale.
She gave Ning Fan an apologetic look and hurried to open the door.
Ning Fan, curious about who was at the door, also stood up and walked towards Lan Kexin.
Lan Kexin opened the door, and a disgusting smell of alcohol wafted in.
Outside, a middle-aged man drenched in alcohol stood there.
“Dad, why are you here so late?”
The man was named Lan Haishan, Lan Kexin’s biological father.
Lan Haishan twisted his mouth into a sneer, pushed the door open, and walked in, while reaching out and saying, “Daughter, I’ve been a bit unlucky lately, quickly lend me a hundred thousand to make back the capital.”
He was bluntly asking for money, demanding as much as one hundred thousand from Lan Kexin.
“What?!
A hundred thousand?!” Lan Kexin was startled by her father Lan Haishan’s demand.
This wasn’t the first time Lan Haishan had asked Lan Kexin for money.
He called it a loan, but he never paid it back.
“You gambled again?”
In the past, there were always other excuses when asking for money.
This time, after running out of excuses, he didn’t bother to come up with new ones and openly admitted it was for gambling.
“Just tell me whether you’ll give it or not!” Lan Haishan glared, looking at Lan Kexin with a threatening air, showing none of the demeanor a father should have.
Lan Kexin looked troubled, her complexion turning increasingly pale.
She bit her lip and replied, “I really can’t take out that much money at once,
I’ll give you a few thousand for now, and you should go back, and please don’t gamble anymore!”
As she spoke, Lan Kexin searched through her clothes hanging on the coat rack, took out her wallet, and handed all the money inside it to Lan Haishan.
