Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 111: 111 I just hope that you are a little happier

The busy Ms. Shi Lan, after her performance, felt that the world wasn’t worth it.

When she returned to her hotel room and saw Yan Shixiu waiting for her on the sofa, she was momentarily stunned and said, “Mr. Yan, if I remember correctly, this is my room?”

“Change your clothes, I’ll take you out to see the night view.” Yan Shixiu smiled and gestured with his chin toward the clothes and hat on one end of the sofa to Shi Lan.

It was only then that Shi Lan took a good look at Mr. Yan’s attire.

A white long-sleeved shirt, black straight-leg pants, a pair of little white shoes, and a black baseball cap placed beside him; he seemed very adept at turning this simple style into something chic.

Having grown accustomed to seeing him in crisp suits and looking like a dapper rogue, his fresh and clean outfit now was certainly eye-catching.

Shi Lan took the clothes Mr. Yan had prepared for her and quickly went to the bathroom to get ready. After putting on the whole set of clothes, Ms. Shi let out a sigh without a word.

Because her outfit was a black fitted T-shirt with white high-waisted wide-leg pants, which together with Yan Shixiu’s attire, was a complete couple’s black and white ensemble. However, her hat wasn’t a baseball cap but a black fisherman’s hat.

The two of them dressed simply and unostentatiously with Sun Ling and the assistant covering for them as they left. Once they were in the car, Shi Lan turned her head to look at Yan Shixiu, who was driving, and said, “Uncle, I have an early shoot tomorrow.”

“Do I look that old?” Mr. Yan asked with a laugh while driving.

“You’re seven years older than me, Uncle, don’t you know?” Shi Lan reminded Yan Shixiu with rolling eyes.

“Don’t talk to me like that, I’m bringing you out for a drive specially to celebrate ‘Glory’ going public.”

“How cliché!” Ms. Shi expressed her disdain.

However, although she verbally disapproved, deep down she was filled with anticipation. She once stood at the highest spot in this city, looking down at every neon light. Now, she could only stand at the lowest point, squeezed among the most ordinary crowds.

Yan Shixiu drove Shi Lan to the city center, casually found a parking spot by the river, and then led her out of the car.

“This is it? Mr. Yan… where’s the luxury yacht? The five-star hotel? There used to be air-shipped foie gras and caviar, and now you’re taking me out for just a windy night?” Shi Lan asked as he led her along the riverside pedestrian path, with hot air waves coming right at them.

Yan Shixiu wrapped his arm around her and led her forward, saying, “I want you to see how young couples date nowadays.”

At that moment, there weren’t many people by the river, just clusters of them, ninety percent of whom were couples.

Some leaned against the railing, sharing a cotton candy, some sat on chairs, cuddling and playing with a phone, and others played guitars or games at the stalls together.

Then, Mr. Yan wrapped his arms around Shi Lan and whispered in her ear, “The set is too stuffy, high-end places are too restrained, but here is just right, there’s the freedom of the Wind. You’re not famous yet so we can wander around just wearing a hat. I’m afraid later, when you become popular, it won’t be as casual.”

After hearing what Yan Shixiu said, Shi Lan suddenly calmed down.

“Have you been here before?”

“Give me a kiss, and I might consider answering you.”

Ms. Shi reached out to pinch Yan Shixiu’s face, “Old uncle, I think you’re dreaming.”

“I used to pass by here when I was in college nearby, and I’d get hit on every time. Back then, I was just an ordinary person too,” Yan Shixiu finished, turned around to face Shi Lan, looked at her for a while, and then said, “I’ll give you a gift if you kiss me, how about that?”

“If it’s another street stall thing, I’m turning around and leaving!” Ms. Shi might be poor but she had her standards, okay?

At this moment, Yan Shixiu took out a bracelet from his pocket, put it on Shi Lan, and said, “I saw the picture you posted this afternoon. This bracelet might not cover the scar, but I hope it reminds you to leave the hardships to me from now on. I just hope you can be a little happier.”
