Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Termination of Adoption Relationship 8

Regarding He Zhilan’s identity, if no suspicion fell upon her, nothing would be amiss. However, once someone became suspicious, a slight investigation into He Zhilan’s past and the mere fact that she joined the He Family at the age of six would lead to wild speculations.

The only consolation was that He Zhilan was known to everyone as the wife of He Teng and the boss of Lanteng Company, and unless someone deliberately pointed it out, for the time being, no one would suspect He Zhilan’s true identity.

"Okay." He Teng replied, his worries of the past two days were non-negligible, so his thoughts aligned with Lin Chan’s—advising He Zhilan to visit the capital less often.

Because everyone knew that Lanteng Company’s He Zhilan was associated with Lin Chan and Xing Ye, a sworn enemy of the Gu Family. Even if He Zhilan’s name was the same as He Zhilan, no one would think of her in relation to Gu Zhilan; they would just consider it a coincidence.

"If I had known, I would have asked Dad to give me a different name back then!" He Zhilan sighed. "Even He Chunyu, He Xiatian, or He Qiuye would be better than being called He Zhilan."

"Zhilan, don’t be too nervous. It’s unlikely that anyone will turn their attention to you. Everyone is just excited to investigate a bit; as time passes and no clues emerge, they will naturally stop," Lin Chan reassured her, "As for other matters, just to be cautious, we should also make some arrangements in advance."

Fortunately, the Lanteng Company in the capital was now operating smoothly without He Zhilan’s presence as boss, and with Lin Chan, a business talent, helping to manage, He Zhilan truly didn’t need to worry about everything happening there.

He Zhilan and He Teng caught the last train back to the city, and it was Kang Xing who drove them to the military base. By the time the couple reached home, it was already past one o’clock in the morning.

After taking a bath, He Zhilan lay on the bed, fanning herself vigorously with a hand fan, while she stubbornly insisted on lying on He Teng’s belly, basking in his warmth.

"Brother, do you think it’s too late for me to change my name now?" He Zhilan asked, poking He Teng’s arm and tilting her head to look at him.

"It’s too late," He Teng replied, "Changing your name for no apparent reason at this time would make people suspicious. Just let things take their natural course. Now that we’re affiliated with Xing Ye’s side, even if your name is He Zhilan, nobody will associate you with Gu Zhilan of the Gu Family."

He Zhilan hummed in acknowledgment, thought for a moment, sighed, and shifted her body. She rolled off of He Teng, intending to roll back to her spot to lie down properly. Unexpectedly, she misjudged the direction while lifting her leg, rolled over He Teng, and with a thud, fell off the bed.

"Zhilan!" By the time He Teng realized the direction of her roll was off, it was too late. He Zhilan had gloriously tumbled to the floor. The dull sound startled He Teng, and he quickly got up, "Are you okay? Where did you land? Did you hit anything?"

"My butt hurts~" He Zhilan truthfully responded, and seeing He Teng genuinely concerned, she smiled at him, "Lucky my butt hit the ground first, I didn’t hit anything else."

"Deserved it," He Teng blurted out without a hint of amusement, pulling He Zhilan up from the ground, "How many times have I told you to behave? You always act like a child, making a fuss. Happy now that you’ve managed to land yourself on the floor to cool off?"
