“Miss Wen, we are also investigating, but at the moment, we don’t have any leads. I will notify you immediately if there is any news.”
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ran’s mood plummeted to rock bottom. Thinking about her deceased parents, and her brother lying unconscious in the hospital, a deep sadness swelled in her heart.
Just as she was drowned in grief, the office door suddenly swung open, and Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice came from the entrance, “Ranran, quickly pack up. Come with me for a blind date at noon, uh, what happened to you?”
Bai Xiaoxiao strode over to the desk, staring at Wen Ran’s tear-filled eyes, a look of concern immediately rose on her face.
Wen Ran suppressed her sadness, shook her head, and said nonchalantly,
“Nothing, what blind date are you talking about?”
Bal xlaoxlao frowned. Guessing tnat wen Kan must De nussmg ner parents, sne decided not to probe further and tried to speak cheerfully, “Binding dating a man. I also want to find a good man, like you, and get married in a flash.” “Are you running a fever?
Wen Ran walked out from behind the desk, came over to Bai Xiaoxiao, and raised her hand to feel her forehead.
Bai Xiaoxiao swatted her hand away in irritation, “You’re the one who’s running a fever. Anyway, your husband MO Xiuchen is away on a business trip, and there’s no one to accompany you at noon, so go to the blind date with me and give me some advice.”
Wen Ran gave her a look and asked earnestly, “Are you really on a blind date?”
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded confidently, “Yes, I am as serious as real gold. Quickly pack up your things, and we’ll head out now.”
“What is the guy like, where are you meeting?”
While Wen Ran stowed her files and asked questions, Bai Xiaoxiao answered in detail. However, Wen Ran could sense from her answers that Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t sincere about the blind date.
Sure enough, upon arriving at the Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, Wen Ran realized that Bai Xiaoxiao’s true intentions lay elsewhere.
In the banquet hall on the second floor, Xiao Yuting was dining with a sexy woman. The woman laughed provocatively as they chatted about something, causing Bai Xiaoxiao to grind her teeth in anger.
“Ranran, go to table number ten for me, I’ll be there in a bit.”
With a huff, Bai Xiaoxiao left Wen Ran with those words and walked toward where they were sitting.
“Xiaoxiao…”
Wen Ran frowned slightly, watching in surprise as Bai Xiaoxiao strode away. Moments later, she resigned herself to head to table number ten to fend off the blind date guy on behalf of Bai Xiaoxiao.
If she had known that Bai Xiaoxiao was planning to meet Xiao Yuting and used her as the most dedicated third wheel, Wen Ran would have never agreed to accompany her to the blind date.
Because the man Bai Xiaoxiao was supposed to meet was a piece of work. When Wen Ran introduced herself as Bai Xiaoxiao’s friend, the man stated he preferred her type and started talking about his family history without waiting for her response:
“…Miss Wen, since we are so destined, why don’t you try to spend some time with me? Here is my bank card, gym membership card… Miss Wen, don’t leave, listen to me…’
Seeing Wen Ran getting up to leave, the man rushed to his feet, blocking Wen Ran with his tall figure, and handing her various cards.
Wen Ran frowned, speechless at the man’s audacious behavior. She put on a stern face and said, “I’m already married. You should find someone else.”
“Miss Wen, you are so young, how could you be married?”
The man did not believe her, thinking she was brushing him off. Excitedly, he grabbed her hand. Wen Ran was looking towards Bai Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuting, completely unprepared for such a move.. Her pretty face showed a hint of annoyance, “What are you doing?”
