An Lan was somewhat surprised by this outcome.
She looked at Huo Zhanting, who gently nodded at her, as if to say that this person could be trusted. An Lan felt reassured.
The smell was just to refresh and clear the mind, with no harm?
Could it be that she was overthinking things?
An Lan rubbed her temples and, after the butler left, leaned into Huo Zhanting's embrace and whispered, "I'm being too paranoid. I thought it was Ouyang Xiong... After all, he wouldn't really have the guts to make a move on us right here in our territory."
"You're not wrong. You're thinking about our safety," Huo Zhanting gently rubbed the top of An Lan's furry head.
"However, Ouyang Xiong was ruthless in his youth, willing to do anything to achieve his goals. Your concern is justified. When pushed, he might indeed target us fatally. If something happens to us, Huo An Group will be leaderless, making it easier for him to fish in troubled waters."
