However, Xinghe was not just any woman . She was unfazed by He Lan Qi's purposeful ingratiation .
"Mr . He Lan, in any case, we will be quite a disturbance on this trip, hopefully you can help us find our family as soon as possible . Of course, if this trip is successful, the Shen family will repay your kindness generously . "
He Lan Qi noticed how indifferent she was, so he quickly switched off the tricks that he would use on common women . "Of course, we will help to the best of our ability . It is our honor that you came to us for help . "
"Thank you . "
Advertisement"You're welcome . For now, please get into the car, I will take all of you to He Lan Villa first," He Lan Qi said politely and then moved to help Xinghe with the car door . They hopped into his car and sped towards He Lan Villa .
Along the way, He Lan Qi introduced to Xinghe the many cultures of Country R passionately . He even invited Xinghe to prolong their stay there so that he could fulfil his responsibility as a good host .
Xinghe deflected his advances expertly every time . No matter how passionate he was, her attitude was the same, she was as unfazed as before .
This meant that He Lan Qi wasn't able to read her easily, he couldn't see into her heart . He Lan Qi had met many women in his life, and he had to admit, Xinghe was the first woman he wasn't able to read .
Regardless, that would change when he got her into his bed . He had confidence in his seduction skills . He kept trying to get physically and emotionally close to Xinghe, but she was like a stone, unmovable no matter how hard he tried .
Finally, they reached He Lan Villa . He Lan Villa was a sprawling estate . It was situated at Country R's most valuable estate and had the best security . No wonder the published news about them was so little .
The houses in the villa were huge as well . The impressive buildings and landmass spoke volumes about the He Lan family's giant influence and power . The He Lan family's current leader, He Lan Qi's father, He Lan Chang, personally came to welcome them .
When he heard Xinghe's name, he also responded with surprise . "Miss Xia's name sure is unique, it reminds one of the vast galaxy . If you don't mind me asking, what is the inspiration behind your name? How did your parents come up with such a melodious and unique name?"
Xinghe met He Lan Chang's grinning face but she could pick up the deep interest hidden behind his eyes . He Lan Qi even added with curiosity, "That's right, how did they come up with such a name?"
They were being a bit too obsessed with her name, it really tipped Xinghe off to their real intentions .
"There's not much of a story behind it," Xinghe answered . "My parents met during a galaxy show at the observatory, so that's how they came up with the name . "
"It's wonderful story," He Lan Chang observed with a laugh and he visibly relaxed . "It's a beautiful name that sets Miss Xia apart from the rest . Now I understand why Hwa Xia's Madam President took you in as her step daughter . "
It was due to her unique background that they treated her so courteously, but they did it in such way that it was just short of obviously sucking up . So, it had to be said, this He Lan family was indeed a family filled with crafty people .
