After being exposed by Qian Jun, Xu Lan鈥檚 expression became even more embarrassed. She initially wanted to take the opportunity to lure Huo Jiuchen away. It would be great if she could succeed, but if she couldn鈥檛, she could still escape.

But now, when Qian Jun said this, she seemed to have done it intentionally.

"Brother Jiabao, I鈥檝e finished saying what I wanted to say. It鈥檚 getting late, I won鈥檛 disturb your rest any longer. I鈥檒l go back to my room first." Lowering her head, she dejectedly turned around and left.

"It just so happens that I want to return to my room as well. Miss Xu, let me send you there." It鈥檚 not safe to dress like this in the corridor at night. " Qian Jun hurriedly said as he caught up to her and followed her out the door.

The door closed and Xu Lan walked in front. Qian Jun walked a little behind her, and seeing that her hands were tightly wrapped in his nightgown, he opened his mouth as if by accident. "This American is really afraid of heat. The cold air is so strong."

At this time, Xu Lan stopped her steps, turned around and looked at Qian Jun, "Assistant Qian, start telling me that Brother Jiajie is in a bad mood today. Can you tell me why he鈥檚 in a bad mood? I don鈥檛 think he was in a good mood these last few days in New York. Is it because things aren鈥檛 going well at work? "

"Not really." Qian Jun waved his hand. "When have you ever seen the CEO鈥檚 mood change because of work?"

"Since it鈥檚 not about work, then what鈥檚 there to be unhappy about?" At this moment, she had a bad premonition, but she hoped that her premonition was not accurate.

At this time, Qian Jun hesitated, as if he didn鈥檛 intend to directly tell her the answer.

Seeing that he wasn鈥檛 willing to speak, Xu Lan revealed a sweet smile on her face, and said to Qian Jun in a slightly spoiled manner, "Qian Te Jun, since it鈥檚 not too late, how about we go to my room and have a cup of coffee?"

When Qian Jun heard this, he also laughed. He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was already past ten at night.

"It鈥檚 already past 10, are you still not going to rest?" he asked deliberately.

"I鈥檝e been staying in the hotel every day for the past few days. Besides eating and sleeping, I don鈥檛 feel sleepy at all. Of course, if Assistant Qian is tired, I won鈥檛 force his." When Xu Lan said this, she pretended to untie the straps of her nightgown, revealing her hanging pajamas.

Qian Jun鈥檚 eyes swept across her, and he already understood in his heart that she was trying to seduce him.

It seemed like she really wanted to get some information from him about the Huo family鈥檚 heirloom.

At the same time, he had something he wanted to say to her.

"In that case, I鈥檒l be troubling you." Instead of rejecting her invitation, he agreed with a smile.

Xu Lan smiled at him and led him to her room.

After entering the room, Xu Lan invited Qian Jun to sit down while she turned around to make him some coffee.

When she finished making the coffee and brought it over, she saw Qian Jun casually flipping through a fashion magazine on the coffee table.

"Is Assistant Qian also interested in fashion?" Xu Lan sat down across from him. Her silk robe slipped off her legs, revealing her snow-white long legs, which were crossed together.

Qian Jun put down the magazine in his hand, picked up the cup of coffee and smelled it. After all, instant coffee wasn鈥檛 something he liked, he placed the cup on the coffee table again, "I鈥檝e always been curious about why you women are so fond of famous brands and luxury goods. I thought this magazine would have an answer."

"And then? Have you found the answer? " Xu Lan asked.

"There鈥檚 no answer on the book, but I found it from you, Miss Xu." Qian Jun said with a smile.

"Oh? "Then tell me about it." Xu Lan was also smiling. She slightly raised her legs and changed her position.

"For example, Miss Xu, you can be said to have a body, a body, a face and a face. Say, if the bag you鈥檙e carrying, the clothes you鈥檙e wearing, and the jewelry you鈥檙e wearing are all those cheap street stalls, wouldn鈥檛 you have been blinded by such good external conditions?" Qian Jun looked her up and down with a flattering tone.

Although his words seemed to be unintentional, but it unintentionally pierced Xu Lan鈥檚 self-esteem.

She knew better than anyone how much of her bags, how much of her jewelry, were real and how much of it she had bought to satisfy her vanity.

Even though she was the young lady of the Tang Family, she was only a stepdaughter after all. The Tang Family鈥檚 property had nothing to do with her.

In addition, she had been with the Huo family all these years, standing by Tang Yingyue鈥檚 side. She had no job, no money, and all her food and clothing had come from Tang Yingyue.

Tang Yingyue was not a particularly generous person, so there were many times when she did not have enough money.

Being in the upper class and spending a lot of money, such as a dress, was usually one occasion, and if you wore the same dress on another occasion, you would be laughed at.

Tang Yingyue naturally wouldn鈥檛 allow anyone she brought out to be looked down upon. As a result, she spent most of her money on her clothes and didn鈥檛 have the spare to buy expensive bags, let alone jewelry.

Fortunately, she was in the upper echelons of the industry, so as long as they didn鈥檛 pay too much attention to her jewelry and bag, no one would be interested in her. Furthermore, she was brought along by Tang Yingyue, so no one would doubt that she was in the Wealthy Class.

What Qian Jun had just said had inadvertently stabbed into her weak spot, causing her to instantly feel inferior.

However, this was not the end. She then heard Qian Jun say, "However, although chasing after beauty is a woman鈥檚 nature, there are many times when the more dazzling something is, the more energy is needed to match it. Now, many women, no matter what kind of status they have, who only care about the pursuit of perfect luxury, are determined to get whatever they want. In the end, if they were lucky enough to get something, they might end up dying for the rest of their lives, and if not, would they be willing to spend the rest of their lives doing so? "

Listening to his words, Xu Lan鈥檚 heart tightened. She wasn鈥檛 sure if Qian Jun was speaking in a matter-of-fact manner, or was hinting at something.

But no matter what he meant, she had to retort, "Assistant Qian must be serious. You just like to pursue luxury goods. How did you end up spending the rest of your life there? Actually, not only women, men like to pursue perfect and luxurious things too, don鈥檛 they? Is it possible that you men are allowed to remember good things and not allowed us women to pursue what we want? "
