Huo Zhanting took a step forward, reaching out both hands to touch An Lan.
At that moment, An Lan's mind was still echoing with Ouyang Yan's words.
She took a step back, extending one hand, gesturing for Huo Zhanting to stop. Then, she lifted her head, her clear eyes deeply gazing at Huo Zhanting, before she asked with difficulty, "Did you know all along?"
Huo Zhanting's drooping hand tensed gradually.
He regretted that he had been overly cautious and hadn't told An Lan the truth about the matter as soon as possible, which led the situation to become what it was now. He also regretted not driving Ouyang Yan out the moment she opened her mouth, which now placed him in a dilemma.
"Lanlan... I found out not long ago myself. I thought about the incident with the traditional medicine, and felt something was off. I used to think it was you, but after a thorough investigation, I found out it was a confidant who had always followed me, who had drugged me, someone I had trusted deeply.
