After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Chapter 697 Xiao Yun’s Past

Wang Ling stared into Shen Lan's eyes and asked cautiously, "Didn't Brother Yun tell you this?"

Shen Lan shook his head, his expression unchanged, the slight smile on his lips still there: "No."

Wang Ling looked annoyed. He thought that since they had such a close relationship, Brother Yun had already said everything he needed to say.

But it's normal not to tell Shen Lan about this. No man wants to expose his past embarrassment in front of the girl he likes.

"Can't I know these things?" Shen Lan asked curiously when she saw that he was in trouble.

Wang Ling frowned. "Not really... This is Brother Yun's private matter. Since he hasn't told you, I shouldn't tell you privately. If you want to know, you can ask him directly. I think he should tell you."

Shen Lan smiled and stopped asking.

Everyone has scars that they don't want to talk about. Xiao Yun has them, and so does she. Since it's all in the past, there's no need to keep asking about it.

Besides, with Xiao Yun's personality, those things should be difficult for him to talk about, so why make it difficult for him to say it.

Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Wang Ling became a little anxious.

He knew Shen Lan and could roughly guess what she was thinking, but he didn't quite agree with her.

He felt that only by spreading the wound out in the sun could it heal faster, at least better than licking the wound alone in a corner.

Wang Ling could feel that since Xiao Yun fell in love with Shen Lan, his hostility had decreased. Although he still looked cold, his temperament had become much softer.

Love makes him more popular, and love also allows him to forget the shadow of his childhood faster and embrace a new life again.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said to Shen Lan: "Wait a moment, I'll make a call."

He didn't make the decision on his own after making up his mind, thinking it would be better to inform Brother Yun. If Brother Yun couldn't speak, then he would speak.

Watching Zhao Yue being taken away, Xiao Yun's coldness remained and he listed the plan of reshuffling the bodyguards to Liu Lin one by one.

Just after I finished doing this, I received a call from Wang Ling.

On the phone, Wang Ling told Xiao Yun everything that had happened and whispered, "Brother Yun, can I tell Shen Lan?"

Xiao Yun was silent for a while, then looked out the window and smiled: "Tell her, it's okay."

Those things that happened in the past did have a profound impact on him, and at one point he hated marriage and falling in love.

After getting to know Shen Lan, he rarely thought about those things.

After going down into the cellar at the orphanage, he didn't seem to be affected much. At that moment, he knew that he had let go.

If you have expectations for your future life, you will no longer waste time worrying about your past experiences.

But if he were to tell Shen Lan in person...

Xiao Yun looked a little strange, and he couldn't say anything.

Let Wang Ling speak.

In the garden, Wang Ling got permission and immediately walked towards Shen Lan.

"Shen Lan, I've asked Brother Yan, and he's willing to let me tell you those things." Wang Ling finished, his emotional intelligence coming online as he explained a few words on Xiao Yan's behalf: "He didn't deliberately hide it from you before. It's embarrassing to talk about those things, and Brother Yan isn't someone who likes to play the victim."

When pursuing Shen Lan, Xiao Yun never mentioned those things. He didn't want to win Shen Lan's sympathy, but only wanted to impress her with his sincerity.

Hearing the word "playing the victim", Shen Lan's brows twitched slightly.

She knew that what Wang Ling was going to say next would be something heavyweight and explosive.

Sure enough, Wang Ling sighed and pointed to the southwest corner of the garden: "You know that sealed area, right?"

Shen Lan looked in the direction he pointed.

It was enclosed by an iron fence, and all that could be seen were dense weeds and lush trees, which was completely inconsistent with the exquisiteness of other areas of the garden.

Shen Lan noticed it when she first visited the Xiao family's garden, and of course she asked the servants a few questions.

Some servants were very secretive and nervously asked her not to ask too much, while others looked confused and said they didn't know either.

Wang Ling's usual relaxed smile was gone; his expression was heavy. "There used to be a cellar there, but it's now been filled in. Brother Yun... when he was five, he was locked up in the cellar for over half a month."
