"There had had been a while for me as well," he admits with a touch of sympathy, though his grin doesn't fade too much. He is still much too amused by what they've been talking about to let it fall away too fast. He gives Huaisang a furtive smirk and leans in a little, like there was someone to hide a secret from in a room full of.. no one? Whatever, he's drunk. "Is it not one of the whole reason to put up with the headache of a wedding after all? If you're lucky they'll give it a little early too."
He sits back and laughs. "A-Sang, do not worry, my dear. You're far too pretty to have to wait for long before someone will be happy to sit you on their rod in whatever fashion you wish." He could picture a few ways that would be particularly nice, like having the other man riding him. He shakes his head, trying to get the dastard thoughts from his mind.

Lan Zhan listens as Yuan speaks. There's some mild satisfaction in knowing he'd predicted the problem. "Being sad about one thing doesn't mean you can't be happy about another. You can be both without being disloyal to either. There's pain and fear in the new. You don't know us. We haven't built your trust yet. The only thing you know is that we both left you, for whatever reason, to this life you've led. I cannot say anything yet that will guarantee something I've yet to earn."
He turns and picks up the basket and hands it to Yuan. "Take some comfort in knowing the person who you do trust, trusts us or he never would've let you come with us."

What was that about protecting his ex-fiancé's honor?
