When Linda and her companion left, they turned around and glared at Bai Xiaoxiao and Wen Ran. Although Luo Haofeng hadn’t spoken a word to them since he came out, women are naturally sensitive creatures.
Both of them were convinced that Luo Haofeng knew them!
Linda did not know the identity of Luo Haofeng and since she hadn’t yet received approval from Xiao Yuting’s parents, she dared not be too arrogant.
After they left, Luo Haofeng looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and casually said, “You wanted this dress earlier, didn’t you? Try it on.”
A flash of surprise passed in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes. She stared at Luo Haofeng’s devilishly smiling face for a moment and then coolly declined, “Thank you, but I no longer need it.”
After her words fell, she turned to Wen Ran and said, “Ranran, let’s go!”
Wen Ran returned her smile and warmly responded with “Okay!” She acknowledged Luo Haofeng with a nod, not asking if he was the owner of the place, and left with Bai Xiaoxiao.
Just as Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao got into the car and were preparing for their spa appointment at the next stop, MO Xiuchen called.
She had one hand on the steering wheel and the other held the phone to her ear. She answered with a soft and cool voice, “Hello!”
“Ranran, where are you now?”
As MO Xiuchen’s warm and pleasant voice reached her ears, Wen Ran glanced outside of the car window and calmly replied, “Xiaoxiao and I have just finished shopping. You don’t need to pick me up tonight. After dinner, we are going to watch a movie.”
“Okay, keep safe then!”
MO Xiuchen changed what he was about to say and gave her a few more words of caution before hanging up the phone.
“What’s the matter? Is Ranran busy?”
In his office, Gu Kai looked at MO Xiuchen, who had just ended the call, with a puzzled expression.
On the sofa, Shen Yuting held her cup with both hands, staring silently at the handsome profile of MO Xiuchen. She was no longer surprised by his tender demeanor when speaking with Wen Ran. However, the sense of desolation had taken root in her heart.
MO Xiuchen appeared to be deep in thought. He gave a faint explanation, “She and Bai Xiaoxiao are out shopping and mentioned they were going to watch a movie tonight.”
“Isn’t Bai Xiaoxiao her best friend? I thought Ranran had a date with some guy, you have a dejected look on your face!”
Gu Kai teased him. He had clearly seen the change in MO Xiuchen’s expression when he was on the phone.
MO Xiuchen glanced at him, “I’m just curious. A few days ago, Ranran mentioned that Bai Xiaoxiao was traveling abroad. I didn’t hear her mentioning that Bai Xiaoxiao had returned.”
However, based on his keen senses, Bai Xiaoxiao must have returned today.
Considering the recent scandal involving Xiao Yuting and the new model, Bai Xiaoxiao’s mood mustn’t be great. Ranran accompanying her to go shopping, eating out and watching a movie might be her way of trying to comfort her.
Wen Ran didn’t expect to run into MO Xiuchen and the others by chance.
She and Bai Xiaoxiao had gone to see a movie first. After leaving the cinema around nine, Bai Xiaoxiao suggested going to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion for dinner.
The first and second floor halls were too noisy, so Bai Xiaoxiao, wanting a quiet meal, requested for a small elegant private room on the third floor. She ordered their mutual favorite dishes. Midway, Wen Ran left to use the restroom. When she left the cubicle, she ran into Shen Yuting, who just entered the restroom.
When their gazes met, Wen Ran’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. She had noticed Shen Yuting in the parking lot that afternoon. Because of her connection with MO Xiuchen, she remembered Shen Yuting.
Shen Yuting, having seen Wen Ran’s photos, immediately recognized her. A similar look of surprise flashed through her eyes as she didn’t expect to run into her here.
Wen Ran walked over to the mirror, and Shen Yuting didn’t enter the cubicle immediately. Instead, she walked over to Wen Ran. After scrutinizing her reflection, she grinned and asked, “Excuse me, are you Miss Wen Ran?”
Wen Ran turned to look at the woman standing in front of her – her smile gentle, her face pale and delicate – and responded with a smile, “I am Wen Ran. Who might you be?”
Upon hearing her confirmation, the smile on Shen Yuting’s face deepened. She extended her hand towards Wen Ran with an open demeanor, “My name is Shen Yuting. I am Gu Kai’s cousin, and I’ve known Xiuchen since we were kids.”
Gu Kai’s cousin?
And she’s known MO Xiuchen since childhood?
No wonder she felt that MO Xiuchen was very familiar with her at the airport. In addition, his attitude towards her was not the cold and distant one that she remembered.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Shen! ”
Wen Ran politely shook her hand, and with Shen Yuting’s voice still lingering in her ears, she continued, “I just returned from overseas today. Xiuchen and my cousin insisted on giving me a welcome party. Originally, they wanted to invite you as well, but Xiuchen called and said you had plans tonight.”
Wen Ran responded with a smile, “I have plans to watch a movie with a friend tonight.’
She paused slightly before politely asking, “Although I am unaware that Xiuchen and Older Brother Gu are hosting a welcome party for Miss Shen tonight, since we’ve met, it must be fate. If it’s convenient, I’d like to go over and say hi with you.”
In the afternoon, she had only glimpsed Shen Yuting at the airport. Still, Wen Ran’s intuition told her that the woman named Shen Yuting held a deep affection for MO Xiuchen. Her gentle smile was not one you’d give an ordinary friend.
Having already faced one Cheng Jia, she was unsurprised to find another woman attracted to MO Xiuchen. After all, besides his rumored health issues, his appearance and temperament were enough to captivate any woman.
Shen Yuting showed a brilliant smile and said, “Of course it’s fine. The people at my welcome party tonight are close friends of my cousin’s. You must’ve come here with your friend, right? Why don’t you invite her along? The more, the merrier.”
After previously seeing pictures of Wen Ran, Shen Yuting didn’t have a good impression of her. Because Wen Ran was a woman MO Xiuchen cared about, she felt a little uncomfortable.
However, after meeting her in-person, she found herself unable to dislike Wen Ran. Wen Ran’s eyes were clear as water, her temperament calm and aloof; clearly a spoiled rich young lady, yet she gave off a sense of elegance and tranquillity, much like a quietly blooming orchid.
UDon returning from the restroom, Wen Ran told Bai Xiaoxiao about
encountering Shen Yuting. She asked if she’d be willing to go over to MO Xiuchen’s table with her. If not, Wen Ran would just say hi and return.
“Why wouldn’t I? If it’s the woman we met at the airport, then of course I want to go see. However, Ranran, your husband really is a heartthrob. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone in G City knows about his health issues, you wouldn’t have any time for anything else. Your days would be full dealing with love rivals.”
Wen Ran glowered at her and laughed, “It’s a matter of pride for me that other women admire my husband. It shows that I have married an outstanding man. As for love rivals, I’m really not interested in them. As the saying goes, ‘it takes two to tango.’ If he shows no interest in other women, no matter how persistent they are, he won’t be tempted. On the contrary, if he is interested, even if I were to follow him around all day, I wouldn’t be able to stop him..”
