Chen Lan’s tone carried a hint of a sob, her hands wrapped around Tang Ye’s waist, and her voice sounded pitiful.

Chen Tao widened his eyes, while Chen Ran saw through her little trick with a smile, and looked away speechless. He even pulled Chen Tao back when he tried to intervene and separate the couple.

Tang Ye looked at her sly smile and gently brushed her nose with his hand. “It’s okay, I understand. You’re young, and you didn’t know better.”

Liang Chen looked at the intimate interaction between the two, feeling uncomfortable, but he didn’t feel like he had the right to say anything. He was even more disheartened when he heard Tang Ye’s words, which seemed like a subtle way of saying he was immature.

Fan Cong, on the other hand, was taken aback by Chen Lan’s unexpected reaction. She didn’t know what to say.

“Throughout history, it’s been taught that you should not accept any rewards without doing anything. Brother Liang Chen, since you don’t have any special feelings for my sister, and our families don’t have a deep connection, how can you accept such a valuable gift from her?” Chen Tao vented his anger on Liang Chen, ignoring the presence of Tang Ye, whom he found annoying.

Chen Lan couldn’t help but silently commend this child. He was indeed a scholarly genius. Although he might not be reliable most of the time, his sharp tongue was unmatched when it came to sarcasm.

What Liang Chen cared about the most was his reputation and face. At this moment, both were facing an unprecedented challenge.

No matter how Fan Cong shook his arm, gesturing to him to speak up to keep the motorcycle, Liang Chen remained silent, only pulling her aside.

“When I accepted this gift in the first place, I already felt it was somewhat inappropriate. Now that I’ve promised to return it to Lanlan, I won’t go back on my word. Chen Ran, take the motorcycle.”

Chen Ran nodded, walked over, and with a lift of his long legs, he sat on the motorcycle, started it, and rode away.

Seeing that she successfully obtained the item, Chen Lan didn’t want to stay any longer. These two people were affecting her mood. She then held Tang Ye’s hand and said, “Let’s go back. Uncle should be here soon.”

Tang Ye nodded and led the way, holding her hand as they left, while Chen Tao snorted and quickly followed while gesticulating behind Tang Ye’s back.

As they saw the group leave, Liang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Fan Cong was not talking to him, Liang Chen coaxed her softly, “I did handle this matter poorly. It’s better to return it to her to avoid people gossiping behind our backs. This way, I won’t owe her anything.”

Fan Cong stomped her feet, clearly still angry and unwilling to talk to him.

During the earlier incident, everyone had protected Chen Lan, and Liang Chen had never said a word in her defense. She knew she would probably receive a scolding from her mother when she got home, and that wasn’t making her any happier. Naturally, she felt indignant.

“Don’t be angry. Chen Lan has always been like this.” Liang Chen didn’t understand why Fan Cong was so angry. From his perspective, what Chen Lan had said today might have been embarrassing, but he didn’t think he had done anything wrong.

However, he realized that Fan Cong’s anger was likely directed at Chen Lan.

“Ahchen, you’re just too kind. That motorcycle was a gift from her. How can you return it just like that?”

Liang Chen wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, “We’ll save up and buy an even better one. I’ll take you for a ride then. It’s your birthday today, so don’t be angry. We’re still going out to eat, right?”

On the other side, as Chen Lan returned to the Chen family’s doorstep, she saw Chen Ran leaning against the motorcycle, waiting for their return.

“Ahye, this motorcycle is really fun to ride. You can ride it to come back with Lanlan in the future,” Chen Ran said as he walked over and patted Tang Ye’s shoulder.

Tang Ye’s expression darkened. He remembered that Chen Lan had told Wen Jing that this motorcycle wouldn’t be for him.

As expected, the next second, Chen Lan immediately spoke with a smile, “What are you talking about, Big Brother? I’m planning to have Uncle help me sell this motorcycle.”

Chen Ran was shocked. He looked at Tang Ye, then opened his mouth in surprise. The motorcycle had been ridden for a while, so selling it wouldn’t fetch much money. Why wouldn’t she keep it for herself?

After observing Chen Lan and Tang Ye’s interaction in the afternoon, Chen Ran initially thought their relationship was good. However, why would she rather sell the bike than let Tang Ye ride it?

He wanted to ask, but he also worried that speaking out might hurt Tang Ye’s feelings. Therefore, he decided to hold back his words and planned to have a private conversation with Chen Lan later.
