Lan Anran concealed the hatred in her eyes very well and the next time she looked at Lan Tingyun, she was still an innocent, charming, and obedient daughter.
She opened her doe-like eyes and asked innocently, “Dad, why are you here?”
Lan Tingyun was covered in tears. Who said that his daughter would become a savage and rude country girl after being raised in the countryside? His daughter was clearly a simple little girl, just like a white piece of paper, without the slightest bit of resentment.
“I… I’m… I’m here to pick you up and… go home.”
Lan Tingyun was choked up, even his words were incomplete.
Even after boarding the car, Lan Tingyun was still immersed in the joy of retrieving his daughter. He could barely form complete sentences.
The Lan Family house was in the east of Rong City.
It was a half day journey from this village.
The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward. Lan Tingyun didn’t dare to speak, and didn’t know what to say to get closer to his daughter who he hadn’t seen in such a long time, but Lan Anran’s brain was spinning quickly.
In her past life, on the day she was taken home, Father Lan came alone as well, which made her feel unvalued and unloved. It worsened after she returned home when others tried to sow discord between her and her father, making her unwilling to get along with her family.
Lan Anran suddenly broke into a cold smile. In this life, what kind of surprises awaited her?
Although Lan Tingyun didn’t know what to say, he had been paying close attention to his daughter. When he saw the arc at the corner of his daughter’s mouth, he was momentarily taken aback, and subconsciously started to explain, “Your mother wanted to come along to pick you up, but she was hospitalized and her condition doesn’t allow her to travel long distances. Your brother is taking care of her in the hospital, so this time…”
Lan Tingyun lowered his head guiltily.
He was an incompetent father and husband.
Lan Anran returned to her senses and realized that her father was explaining this because he was afraid that she would feel left out and unwelcomed by the family.
She pursed her lips and when she spoke, there was a slight hesitation from a sense of nostalgia, “What’s wrong with Mom? Is it serious? Can my brother take care of her?”
In her past life, she was immersed in her own world and had disregarded her mother.
She was vaguely aware that her mother was ill all the time, but she didn’t know whether it was serious or not.
Now that she thought about it, she was really unfilial.
But it didn’t matter. In this life, she would not follow the same footsteps again.
Lan Tingyun was a little surprised, but mostly touched. He didn’t expect her to be so understanding and take the initiative to ask about her mother’s illness.
“The doctor can’t diagnose her illness. She is very weak and needs long-term rest, so your brother is taking care of her. Anran, are you angry that they didn’t come with me…”
“I’m not angry. Mom’s health is the most important thing. I’m back, and from now on, we will have a lot of time together. Dad, I hope all of you won’t find me annoying…”
I will definitely protect all of you and this family.
Lan Anran spoke cheekily, but a sharp gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
Lan Tingyun felt uncomfortable. His daughter was so sensible, she didn’t blame them at all, and she was being so thoughtful…
“Good, good. Our family will live a complete and peaceful life.”
“Don’t worry, Dad will protect you at all costs.”
The image of her father in her past life supporting her despite being old and decrepit overlapped with the middle-aged man who was sitting in the car with tears in his eyes. The sight made Lan Anran’s nose feel sore and tears started to fall down her face.
“No, don’t cry, Anran, don’t cry. It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Lan Tingyun was at a loss. He could only pat her shoulders to comfort her.
Lan Anran suddenly rushed into his arms, her small face buried in his clothes. It was as though a river gate had opened as her sobbing gradually grew louder.
Lan Tingyun didn’t know what she was thinking about and thought that she couldn’t control her emotions from being taken home so abruptly.
He wrapped one hand around her shoulder, gently patting her back with the other. “My dear daughter, don’t cry. Dad is here. You won’t suffer anymore.”
The car drove all the way into the courtyard and stopped at the entrance of the villa.
Lan Anran got out of the car behind Lan Tingyun.
Before she could take a good look at the Lan Family courtyard, she was interrupted by a joyful call.
“Dad, is she my sister?”
Lan Anran looked up and saw a boy slightly younger than her standing in front of her.
He had soft hair, and looked like he came from a wealthy and powerful family. He didn’t conceal the joy on his face at all: it was a sincere happiness that came from the heart.
The boy hopped to Lan Anran’s side, fumbled about and glanced at her with a curious expression. There wasn’t a hint of disgust at all.
“Are you my sister? My name is Lan Yanran. I heard my father say that your name is Lan Anran, right?”
“Yes.”
Lan Anran nodded slightly, looking like a lady, and her eyes flashed with love.
“Yeah, from now on, I have an older sister. I will be the most favored little prince in the world!”
Lan Yanran danced happily, holding Lan Anran’s hand, wanting to spin in circles.
Lan Tingyun looked at the two siblings from the side with a loving smile on his face, but he pretended to be angry and said, “Yanran, your sister just returned home, don’t fool around.”
“It’s okay, Dad, I am happy too. I have a younger brother.” Lan Anran looked at the lively younger brother jumping around in front of her and her heart softened.
In her past life, she made too many mistakes. Her brother may be younger than her, but no matter what happened, he would always defend her with his small body. He was more sensible than her, seeming to be more like a guardian angel.
However, she had listened to a lot of slander in the past and had always loathed her younger brother, blaming him for taking away all the love of their family.
In the end, her brother gave up his cherished Performing Arts to run errands for her and had even dedicated himself to a fat and ugly old woman for her sake.
When she found Yanran, he was tortured beyond recognition and his melodious voice was ruined.
She owed him too much.
But it didn’t matter, in this life, she wouldn’t make the same mistakes again.
She would protect him, so that he could pursue his interests without worry.
