Lanfen

Ten minutes later, I was sitting in the coffee shop, and Lanfen was sitting in front of me. Did the feeling that it could be a trap cross my mind? Of course, but I wouldn’t miss the chance to get to know my enemy. Jack trained me a little about observation, but it didn’t look like someone was following us. The people inside the cale that lanten invited me to seemed nommal as well Nevertheless, I knew that I couldn’t lower my guard just because I thought it Was safe around

For God’s sake, could she be a little less perfect?! It her face wasn’t making me jealous enough, she had an hourglass figure with curvy hips and quite impressive breasts.

kept trying to take a glimpse behind her smile and check if it wasn’t al) a façade, but I saw no signs of viciousness within her. She was either a master manipulator or a genuinely good person. However, I sensed that she controlled her emotions quite well, not raising the volume of her voice even once she had laughed, and that fact alone was telling me not to trust her. I took a deep breath.”Fine… Go ahead and tell me your story,” I said, fisting my hand under the table since I predicted that I might not like what I would hear. She locked her eyes on me. “Let me be

Lanfen sighed heavily and lowered her head. “Yes,’ she admitted. “I knew that my parents initially agreed to our marriage because they wanted to get a contract with Lan Wang Corporation.
