C188 End-of-the-line Companionship

"Is this an excuse to confuse me, or are you really...?" Yin Lan still found it hard to believe because no one could compare with Vince's coldness and ruthlessness. She did not believe him.

"If I really wanted to use you back then, I would not have let you go back then." Vince stared at her.

Yin Lan could not help but think of the scene from before. Could it be true?

"But Moore promised me that as long as I accompany you tonight, I can leave after the banquet ends." Yin Lan's thoughts were a little chaotic. She had forgotten the deal between her and Vince.

"But you have made a deal with me before. As long as you have seen Ning Ou, you can do whatever I want you to do." Vince reminded her.

Yin Lan remembered, but she still found it hard to accept.

"I don't need you to do anything. Stay by my side like this, okay?" This was Vince's first time. Vince used to be rebellious, unreasonable, and violent. He always opposed anyone, but now he really wanted Yin Lan to stay by his side because he had been alone all his life. When his life was about to come to an end, he wanted to keep this person who made his heart tremble.

"I don't think you want to be alone. I also don't want to be alone."

Vince's words touched Yin Lan. She retracted her gaze and froze in the darkness. She looked like she did not want to interact with people who cared about her, but in fact, she was more afraid than anyone else. She was very afraid of loneliness, death, and even the feeling of waiting for death.

She was afraid of Hua Jingsheng. She had a knot in her heart that she couldn't bear to let go of Hua Jingsheng.

Regarding Ning Ou, she didn't dare to hope for him.

She did not dare to face Wu Sheng and the others.

She didn't have many people around her, and now that she had been filtered out, no one could choose her. Vince's words made her want to believe it, because the feeling of being alone was too bitter.

Especially at this time.

But she was conflicted. Previously, Vince was so cruel to her, could such a person really be trusted?

She had already been schemed and corrupted. She was about to lose the ability to trust others.

Vince saw that Yin Lan still did not dare to believe it. He held his lips and smiled faintly. He took the initiative to approach her and put his head on her shoulder.

With her shoulder pressed down, Yin Lan looked sideways. She just happened to see that because he had been injured by her earlier, he had not recovered yet. At this moment, his face was already pale. After a few times of illness, his lips had already removed the Zhang Yang he had when he first met her, leaving behind a weak light color. What could he still hope for now? He was merely waiting for his life to wither away.

"Does it hurt again?" She saw Vince's delicate brows knit together as he asked in a low voice.

Vince opened his eyes. His pretty light purple eyes were glowing because of her question. "It's a little uncomfortable. Just let me lean on it."

Yin Lan did not say anything and he did not ask any more questions. Although Yin Lan did not answer directly, the two of them had reached a tacit understanding.

When they drove to the village mountain road, Moore, who was waiting by the road, waved at them.

Yin Lan saw him walk over and rolled down the window.

Moore was not surprised to see Yin Lan still in the car. Through her, he saw Vince, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder. Only then did his cold eyes soften. He looked at Yin Lan with gratitude, "Thank you."

Yin Lan looked at him and shook her head. "No need to thank me. We are just like each other."

Moore did not want to say much, so he directly ordered the driver, "Follow me."

"Yes." The driver nodded.

Moore nodded at Yin Lan, then turned around and walked forward.

The car stopped for a while and drove forward again. Although it was a mountain road, the road was stable.

Yin Lan looked up at the still dark night, then lowered her head to look at Vince who was sleeping by her side. She never thought that there would be a day when she would warm up with him, nor did she think that he was the one who asked to accompany her when she was most desperate.

He came from the Cheetah Family and had good conditions and a good family. However, the person accompanying him was Moore from the beginning to the end. Today was the first time she saw Elder Lieh, who was also his grandfather, but she did not expect him to be so cold to him. He had never mentioned his parents. Presumably, they had died young. They did not have parents to care for and grandfather to care for them. It could be seen that his life was not easy.

Fortunately, he had met Elder Lieh for the first time. Luckily, Moore was his uncle. Unlike her, he didn't have any relatives.

The car meandered along a mountain road and went around a verdant forest to the innermost part. Under the shadows of the trees and mist, a row of wooden houses stood silently in the middle.

From the outside, it seemed that the row of wooden houses had been there for some years, but they didn't decay and were very sturdy.

Moore parked the car in front of the door of the wooden house, and the car behind also stopped.

Yin Lan saw Moore open the door and get off the car, but saw that Vince was still sleeping soundly. She hesitated whether she should wake him up or not. Unexpectedly, he seemed to have sensed it and opened his eyes.

"We're here, right?" He propped himself up and stretched out his hand to press on his neck, which was aching from stretching his neck to sleep.

"We're here." Yin Lan's shoulder was also a little painful from his pressure.

Without waiting for Moore to call them, they got out of the car together.

Moore saw them get out of the car and waved his hand to let them in.

Yin Lan looked around the dark surroundings, then looked at the fog and shadows of trees in the forest. Although it was a little dense, it was very quiet.

The tip of her nose smelled the fragrance of the trees. She stepped on the solid ground and was in a peaceful environment. Suddenly, she felt very peaceful and wonderful.

She entered the wooden house that Moore opened. In the middle of the room was a living room. There was an ancient red carpet and a row of red and white sofas. There was a LCD TV in front of him, and a few small murals hung on the wall. There were a few flowers and plants in the room. It looked fresh and elegant.

She walked along the living room and found that there was an external view on the other side of the room. She walked down the wooden stairs and stood on an open platform made of wood. Below her was a clear pool that reflected the moonlight. The clear pool was gurgling and quiet. It just passed by and did not see its head or tail. However, from the sound of the flowing water, she could tell that it was flowing down from above.

The air was cold but very pleasant. This was the freshness and vitality that she had never smelled before.

When she returned to the living room, she saw Moore arranging the people who came after him to put the prepared food into the refrigerator and warehouse. Vince was sitting on the sofa peacefully, holding his head and not interrupting.

She saw those people walk to the left and knew that it was the kitchen. She liked this place very much, so she curiously walked to the right. It was a long path, and there were many pictures hanging on the wall. It was like a family of three. The man was handsome and the woman was gentle. The child in her arms had a pair of light purple eyes. They were small and white. They were chubby and cute.

Only then did she know that this was Vince's home. After looking for a while, she continued to walk in. There were two rooms. One was the master bedroom with a big bed. On the opposite side of the bed was a large fireplace. In the middle of the bed and fireplace were two soft chairs. There was also a bookcase filled with books in the room. It seemed that the owner was a person who read a lot of books.

After leaving the master bedroom, she opened the room next to her. What entered her eyes was a purple sea, including the bed, blanket, walls, curtains. Everything was a light purple color. It was warm with a trace of romance. There was a spiral staircase in the room. There was a small attic at the top. She did not go up. This should be Vince's room. From the layout, she could feel his parents' love and respect for him.

He was so happy in the past.

When she walked out of the room, the busy work outside had already ended. Moore was holding a cup and drinking big mouthfuls of water when he saw Yin Lan walk out. Putting down the cup, he called her over and instructed her and Vince. "Stay here for the time being. I will come back to pick you up after the show is over. If you need anything, just contact me. I will send someone to bring you what you want."

Yin Lan listened to Moore's words. She knew that the city would be filled with bloodshed during this period of time. She held it in for a while but could not hold it in. "This is just the internal market of Cheetah Family or the entire US. There will be a huge change."

Hearing her question, Vince and Moore both turned back to look at her.

Then Moore smiled and replied, "It's not just Cheetah. From tomorrow onwards, the entire American market will have a huge change."

Yin Lan nodded and did not ask any more questions. If that was the case, Could it be that Hua Jingsheng didn't have the energy to blow her up?

Vince saw Yin Lan's worry and said, "This place is very secretive. No one except uncle knows we will be here."

Yin Lan nodded. This way, she could covet this peace for a longer time.

Currently, Hua Jingsheng had his fifth brother, Seiffer, and Morsen by his side. Ning Ou, who was rising up, also had people whom he trusted. Although their strength wasn't equal, they each had their own merits. Without her participation, this battle would be the most fair. It was what they wanted the most. Thus, they would definitely go all out and fight for it.

In this way, they would have no time to care about her.

To them, this was a good thing.

"Alright, you guys stay here tonight. I still have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's matters." Moore picked up the car keys at the door and said, "By the way, I also arranged for the doctor to check your bodies regularly. You guys should rest well during this period of time. When the limelight is over, I will send someone to pick you up."2

"Okay, Uncle, be careful." Vince did not ask him to stay. He only told him.

Yin Lan nodded to Moore. Vince was his biggest lifeline. If Vince was safe, he could participate in this fight without any worries. This time, everyone was ready to go.

After sending Moore away, Yin Lan and Vince were alone in the wooden house. Although they had reached an agreement before, Yin Lan was still a little afraid that they were going to live alone now.

After all, she had only been with Ning Ou except for Hua Jingsheng. Hua Jingsheng was used to it. Ning Ou liked it, but he accompanied him.

This feeling was naturally different.

"In the room where you sleep, I sleep in the small room. There is a separate bathroom in the room. I'm tired tonight, so I'll take a rest first. "If you are still in the mood to look around, then go ahead." Vince rubbed his forehead and said a few words to Yin Lan gently before leaving.

Yin Lan watched Vince enter the room. She also turned off the lights outside and entered the room.

Sitting on the soft chair, her emotions swayed along with her body. In the end, it turned into a light sigh in vain.

She did not want to think too much. Since she accepted this result, she would live for herself in peace.

After all, this was the life she had always wanted.
