An Ruo became increasingly curious about who had arrived.
She walked to the garden and immediately saw a woman sitting in the pavilion, wearing a white dress and with her long hair flowing.
An Ruo approached the pavilion, and as the woman turned around, she clearly saw her face and was instantly shaken, unable to move forward.
The woman stood up and reached out a hand, smiling friendly, "Hello, I'm Lan Keren."
"… Hello, may I ask who you are?" An Ruo regained her composure and shook her hand briefly.
Lan Keren smiled slightly, "I am an old acquaintance of Tang Yuchen. I just returned today, so I came to see him. Since he's not home, I won't disturb him any longer. Farewell."
Seemingly reluctant to say more, Lan Keren put on her sunglasses and left.
From start to finish, her conversation with An Ruo lasted less than a minute.
It was a long time before An Ruo came back to her senses.
She sat down in the pavilion, her mood suddenly very low, feeling uneasy and drained.
