Translator: 549690339
“Who says I don’t have a girlfriend?”
Luo Haofeng suddenly sat upright, looking angrily at Bai Xiaoxiao, this ungrateful woman who not only didn’t show gratitude, but she was always fighting against him.
Bai Xiaoxiao turned her head in disdain, ignoring Luo Haofeng’s glowering stare, her delicate hand circling around the drinking straw in her cup. She elegantly sipped some fresh grape juice before saying nonchalantly: “If you had a girlfriend, would you be bored enough to seek this kind of fun?”
Luo Haofeng’s eyebrows furrowed, his handsome face displaying changing expressions. Just as Bai Xiaoxiao thought he was about to blow up in anger, he suddenly started laughing again, in a bewitching and enchanting manner: “Bai Xiaoxiao, have you fallen for me? So, you’re insinuating, finding out in this way if I have a girlfriend.”
Saying this, he deliberately paused for a moment, then sighed regretfully: “Unfortunately, you’ll be disappointed. The noble ladies waiting to become my girlfriend can form an entire line from the start to the end of this street. I’m afraid there’s no place for you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Luo Haofeng in disbelief, how narcissistic can this man be? Believing all the women in the world are in love with his devilishly handsome face? She rather unladylike tossed the straw away from her cup, picked it up, and gulped down the grape juice in one go, then stood up and sneered: “Keep dreaming, I have to get back to work, I can’t afford to waste time arguing with a idler like you!”
Seeing her picking up her bag and about to leave, a faint look of surprise flashed across Luo Haofeng’s eyes as he shouted unhappily: “Bai Xiaoxiao, I’ve done you such a huge favor, aren’t you going to invite me for a meal?”
Bai Xiaoxiao walked to the door, then turned back, her eyes sparkling with an amused smile: “Thanks for the grape juice. Leaving the dinner to those women queuing to be your girlfriend. Bye-bye!”
With that, she opened the door of the private room and left decisively!
For the next three days, MO Xiuchen was very busy. Wen Jin insisted on helping Wen Ran at the company every day after returning to the pharmaceutical factory and then returning to the hospital for rehabilitation in the evening.
With his help, Wen Ran had less to do and found that he had more free time.
No matter how busy, MO Xiuchen insisted on sharing at least one meal with Wen Ran each day, and even had Qin Mu adjust their dining schedules.
For the first two days eating with Wen Ran, his phone kept constantly ringing. One call after another, always busy.
At lunch today, Wen Ran enjoys the meal with MO Xiuchen. Strangely enough, his phone doesn’t ring at all, Wen Ran puts down her chopsticks and looks surprised at MO Xiuchen’s handsome face: “Why isn’t your phone ringing today?”
MO Xiuchen was putting food into his mouth. Hearing Wen Ran’s question, his expression slightly paused. Then, he picked up a piece of meat and placed it into the plate in front of her. He curved a smile and said, “I’ve turned off my phone.”
Wen Ran was taken aback. Initially, she thought they were just fortunate enough to enjoy a meal undisturbed today, but in the end, it turns out he had turned off his phone.
“Is that okay? You’ve just taken up the post and must be quite busy. By turning off the phone, couldn’t you miss out on something important if you can’t answer the phone promptly?”
MO Xiuchen’s smile widened at her concern, his affectionate eyes gazing at her as he nonchalantly explained: “I’ve set call diverting on. When my phone is off, the calls are diverted to Ah Mu.”
“Ah?!”
Wen Ran blankly looked at MO Xiuchen’s enchanting smile. The more she looked, the more cunning he appeared. Poor Qin Mu, his lunchtime must have gotten disturbed today.
MO Xiuchen watched her in bewilderment and couldn’t help but chuckle, then picked up another piece of meat and fed it into her mouth: “It’s a rare chance to have a quiet meal. Don’t bother about irrelevant things. Eat more, you are too thin.”
“I’m not thin at all!”
Upon hearing him say she was thin, she instinctively rebutted, forgetting all else in her mind.
MO Xiuchen’s gaze deepened. His smile contained a hint of allurement. He leaned in, whispering into her ear: “I know better if you’re thin or not. Feeling it, it’s all bones, no meat.”
Whether it was his words or his sudden proximity that startled her, Wen Ran’s fair cheeks instantly blushed. She tilted her head to avoid his gaze, shot him a disapproving look, then lowered her head and silently sipped her soup with her spoon.
Just as she was about to put the soup in her mouth, her phone rang.
“It’s Qin Mu calling, he must be asking you, didn’t you turn both of your phones
Wen Ran fumbled out her phone, saw Qin Mu’s incoming call, and immediately asked MO Xiuchen, who responded to her with just a smile. His hand, impeccable down to the bone, reached out to her:
“Hand me the phone!”
Wen Ran thought he was going to answer the call from Qin Mu himself. Considering Qin Mu called her, he must be looking for MO Xiuchen, she handed the phone over to him.
But rather than answering the call, MO Xiuchen took the phone and promptly switched it off.
Seeing Wen Ran’s surprised expression, he gave her a comforting smile: “There won’t be any big deal if Ah Mu is trying to contact you, no need to take these calls.”
“Alright, anyway, if Qin Mu calls it’s to look for you, it’s not for me.” Wen Ran shrugged her shoulders. Her reply was indifferent.
Neither of them noticed someone approaching them. As MO Xiuchen was pouring the second bowl of soup for Wen Ran, a cheerful and delighted voice suddenly rang in his ears: “Xiuchen, Ranran!”
MO Xiuchen put the bowl in front of Wen Ran before looking up to see Shen Yuting standing by the table, her face full of bright smiles as if she were genuinely happy to see them.
“Sister Ting, are you also here for a meal? Why is it just you?”
Wen Ran glanced around the hall to find there was no one else, and Shen Yuting just came into the restaurant with her handbag.
Shen Yuting nodded with a laugh, explaining: “I just came back from a two-day business trip, and it’s lunchtime, so I thought I’d eat something before going back. I didn’t expect to run into you guys so coincidentally.”
Shen Yuting returned from abroad to deliver a long awaited lecture, which Wen Ran had heard from MO Xiuchen.
Though Shen Yuting was talking to Wen Ran, she couldn’t help but watch MO Xiuchen out of the corner of her eye. Once finished, she turned to MO Xiuchen and politely asked, “Xiuchen, it’s no fun eating alone. You don’t mind if I join you, do you?”
MO Xiuchen smiled faintly, his attitude was straightforward: “If Ranran doesn’t mind, I don’t mind.”
Wen Ran was taken aback and immediately said: “Of course, I don’t mind, Sister Ting, please have a seat. Xiuchen, I don’t know what Sister Ting likes to eat, would you order some more dishes?”
MO Xiuchen gave Wen Ran a small smile, “I am not sure what Yuting likes either. Call the waiter over, you can choose whatever you like!”
Shen Yuting’s smile faltered for a moment, and although her face quickly returned to normal, there was a hidden sting in her heart..
