Chapter 489 There’s no need to tell her
After Li Hui finished speaking, his gaze fell on Shen Lan again, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
"You are so beautiful, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
This is not a polite remark, but Li Hui's heartfelt thoughts.
The girl in front of her was about the same age as her. She had no makeup on and her skin was tender and fair, transparent and white in the sunlight. She had beautiful eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly flapping its wings about to fly.
Without makeup, her facial features are even more delicate and gorgeous, like a delicate and beautiful crabapple flower, so vivid and dazzling.
They are two completely different types and are not similar at all.
Shen Lan looked up at her, feeling confused.
After seeing the photo, she always thought that she was a substitute for the girl Xiao Yun liked.
But can someone completely different also be a stand-in?
Shen Lan fell into deep thought unconsciously and did not answer Li Hui's words.
Li Hui took the initiative to speak again: "Xiao Yun and I met on a business trip three years ago, and we hit it off right away..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yun interrupted her and said with a smile: "Why are you telling her this? She is just an assistant. There is no need for her to know about our affairs."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lan looked at Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun didn't look at her, but looked at Li Hui with a tender smile in his eyes.
Her heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant. She blinked her eyes to hide the bitterness in them, and smiled and said to Li Hui: "Hello, Miss Li, I am Mr. Xiao's assistant. You can just call me Shen Lan."
Li Hui nodded, returned to Xiao Yun, leaned over and said a few words to him, his eyebrows and eyes teasing.
Her voice was so soft that Shen Lan couldn't hear it completely. He only heard the words "You are so lucky."
Xiao Yun glanced at her unhappily and said, "She's just an ordinary assistant. She used to be in charge of my daily diet. Her family has a long history of medicinal cooking and she's good at making delicious medicinal dishes."
"Medicinal food." Li regained his interest. "I saw a Chinese doctor a few days ago. I feel a little deficient in Qi and blood, so the doctor recommended that I use medicinal food to recuperate. It's a pity that there are not many people around me who can make medicinal food professionally."
Shen Lan's eyelashes twitched, and her brows furrowed slightly, with a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Yun said, "What's so difficult about this? Let her help you later."
Li Hui glanced at Shen Lan sheepishly and whispered, "This, this is not good."
"It's okay, I'll just give her an extra salary."
After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he looked at Shen Lan and said indifferently: "Shen Lan, is this okay?"
Shen Lan chuckled and raised his eyes: "Of course."
You're a bastard for not making money. She followed Xiao Yun and left the Lu family, firstly because she was forced to do so, secondly because she wanted to seek his protection, and thirdly because she wanted to make money.
Don’t forget your original intention.
Xiao Yun seemed stunned by her decisive answer. It took him several seconds to show his expression. He looked at her meaningfully and nodded, "Very good."
Shen Lan didn't understand why he said these two words as if he was gritting his teeth. He had already agreed.
"Didn't I tell you to stay at the Xiao family for the next few days? Why are you coming to the company?"
Shen Lan walked towards him with the box in his hand.
She walked neither fast nor slow, her slender waist swaying naturally, with an indescribable charm.
Xiao Yun curled his fingers, his eyes deep. He hadn't looked at her properly for several days. The deep longing in his bones rushed out, but he suppressed it.
Shen Lan's attention was only on the box, without looking away. He put the box on the table and stepped back to keep some distance.
"Mr. Xiao, this is the incense that Teacher Wu prepared. She asked me to tell you that she has done her best. If you are not satisfied, there is nothing she can do."
Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed: "Has it been adjusted?"
When he said this, his face was solemn and gloomy. He stared at the box on the table with a serious look.
Ever since he discovered that Shen Lan's scent could relieve his headache, Xiao Yun had been planning to replicate her scent.
But when the moment really came, he was not in a good mood.
While thinking about something, my head seemed to be hit by something, and it suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Xiao Yun's face turned pale for a moment.
"There is a fragrance formula in the box. If you like the smell..." Shen Lan said as he looked up at Xiao Yun. He realized something was wrong at first glance.
Shen Lan knew that Xiao Yun's illness had relapsed. If it were in the past, she would decisively go over and give Xiao Yun a hug to help relieve his symptoms.
But this obviously cannot be done now, and Shen Lan is not sure whether Li Hui knows about this.
Men always want to save face in front of the woman they like.
Shen Lan quickly stepped forward, opened the box on the table, and took out a stick of incense: "I'll light it, you smell it."
Without waiting for Xiao Yun to answer, she lit the incense directly.
Wisps of green smoke rose, and a sweet and slightly astringent smell slowly emanated.
Li Hui sniffed it, his eyes slightly brightening: "What kind of fragrance is this? It smells so good."
Neither Xiao Yun nor Shen Lan answered her.
Xiao Yun held his forehead and carefully felt the fragrance.
At first glance, it does smell very similar to Shen Lan's, but it doesn't seem natural, only about 70% similar.
In the past, when he hugged Shen Lan, his headache would be relieved in a few seconds.
Today, I smelled the fragrance in the air for a full minute, and the headache slowly subsided, but it didn't disappear completely, and my nerves still throbbed with pain.
But enough is enough.
He can bear this pain.
