“Alright, the two of you can talk later. Yanran, your sister just returned, let her have some rest,” Lan Tingyun said with a smile.
“Oh, I was so happy I forgot.” Lan Yanran stuck his tongue out playfully, pulling Lan Anran as he ran into the house.
“Sis, hurry, hurry and follow me. The room Dad and Mom decorated for you is really beautiful.”
Lan Anran allowed him to pull her forward. She wasn’t annoyed, even though he kept rushing her.
The interior of the Lan Family Villa was simple and elegant and the servants were well-trained. When they saw the both of them, they bowed slightly to greet them.
They weren’t indifferent or overly enthusiastic, which made Lan Anran feel at ease.
In her past life, she had no intention of staying in the Lan Family Villa and wouldn’t have felt the respect and care from the servants.
Now that she thought about it, this was because she had just returned to the Lan Family.
Before she came, the servants would have been warned to speak carefully. After all, they didn’t know Lan Anran’s preferences. It wouldn’t be good to offend her, causing her to dislike the Lan Family.
But before she had time to think about it, Lan Yanran had dragged her up to the second floor towards the door of the room her parents had prepared for her.
“Sis, hurry! Hurry and open the room for me to see. Mom and Dad said that this is your room. They even banned me from playing inside.”
Lan Yanran was filled with curiosity. The whole family was overjoyed ever since they heard that his sister was coming back. His mom personally decorated the room, and his dad was tasked to buy various supplies, and he was forbidden from entering.
With his sister around, they weren’t going to only love him anymore, but he was very happy as well. He secretly bought lots of plush toys with his New Year’s money and had hidden them in his room, waiting to give his sister a big surprise when she returned.
Lan Anran stood by the door, listening to her brother’s happy chatter. She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
When the pink interior came into view, Lan Anran subconsciously widened her eyes, not able to make a single sound in front of the princess-themed room.

The floor was covered with fluffy pink carpets that were thoughtfully arranged into different shapes for the different regions in the room.
The walls were pink with little heart patterns and a white closet extended up to the ceiling.
On the other side was a pink desk with white trim and a white laptop placed on top.
Beside the desk was a small balcony. She could vaguely see a hanging basket and various plants.
The most striking thing in the entire bedroom was the pink princess bed. There were pink curtains on the bed which hung from the ceiling and when the breeze blew, there was a faint gleam from the diamond fragments stitched onto the curtain.
The bedside table was also pink with a European-style bedside lamp on it.
“Wow, isn’t it beautiful?” Lan Yanran exclaimed in an exaggerated manner. “Mom is treating you like a princess!”
Lan Anran’s eyes were slightly moist.

She thought about her past life. She rarely came back to the Lan Family house, and when she did, she never came to this room that was prepared by her family. Instead, she would find a random guest room or rest in the servant’s room.
She was too silly.
In order to decorate this room, her family must have put in a lot of thought!

“Sis…” After his excitement faded, Lan Yanran was suddenly a little upset. “Since your room is so beautiful, would you still be interested in the gift I have for you?”
“Why not?” Lan Anran quickly recovered, smiling. “I’m sure I will like whatever it is you’ve prepared.”
“Liar…” Even though he was still sulking, the joy in Lan Yanran’s eyes couldn’t be concealed.
“I promise!” Lan Anran said with a smile. “What welcome gift did you prepare for me?”
Lan Yanran’s eyes narrowed with a smile and his mouth spread with joy. “Sis, wait for me here, I’ll get your gift now.”
He ran out the moment he finished speaking.
Yanran disappeared before she could stop him.
She shook her head and slowly walked into the room.
All the daily necessities she needed were in the room and beside the closet, there was a small hidden door that led to a private toilet.
Lan Anran opened the closet casually and a dazzling array of beautiful clothes popped into view.
These must be the clothes her mother personally picked out for her.
Was she afraid that her daughter was suffering outside or was she afraid that her daughter had an inferiority complex? How did her mom feel when she dragged her sickly body out to pick out all these clothes for her?
Thinking of this, Lan Anran suddenly felt that she should have visited her mom in the hospital first, instead of coming to the Lan Family house.
Lan Anran turned, walked out of the bedroom door and walked down the stairs gracefully. The sight made Lan Yanran, who was following behind with a pile of plush toys, dumbfounded.
Who said that my sister is a country girl? She is obviously more elegant than everyone in Rong City. She seems more like a well-bred young lady from a prestigious family.
“Sis, Sis, where are you going?” Lan Yanran hurriedly threw the plush toys in his hand to the servant following behind him. He was afraid he had done something to upset her, causing her to want to leave.
Sis just arrived and now she wants to leave? I must make her stay.
Lan Yanran hurriedly followed Lan Anran downstairs. He wasn’t paying attention and accidentally twisted his ankle. “Ouch, ouch!”
“Yanran, what’s wrong? How did you fall? Is it…” a familiar voice suddenly asked with concern.
Lan Anran was prepared to turn around to help her brother, but when she heard this voice, her expression suddenly changed.
The sinister expression frightened Lan Yanran and he subconsciously moved back to hide. Lan Anran recovered and hurriedly arranged her emotions. She stepped forward and helped Yanran up.
“Sis, you…” Lan Yanran looked at his worried sister in front of him and felt that the sinister expression he saw must have been a mistake.
My sister is beautiful and gentle. How could she have shown such a terrible expression? I must be seeing things…
