Chapter 385: 384 That man is like Ah Mu
Translator: 549690339
During the few days Mo Xiuchen was away on a business trip, Qing Yang and Qing Feng would pick up and drop off Wen Ran for her commute to work. When Gu Kai had time, he would also drop by her office to pick her up.
One afternoon, he arrived at the MS Group half an hour early to wait for Wen Ran to finish work.
“Ranran, I’m treating you to dinner tonight. Think about what you want to eat.”
As soon as Wen Ran stepped out of the office building, she saw Gu Kai, in the remnants of the setting sun, casually leaning against his car with a playful smile on his face, attracting countless admiring glances from women.
“Brother, when did you come? Aren’t you supposed to be swamped today?”
Wen Ran looked at Gu Kai. He had removed his white lab coat, leaving behind the serene elegance of work. What came off him now was a defiant aura that he could hardly cover up. She suddenly felt that Gu Kai was just like one of those charming rogues.
The white lab coat he wore at work just camouflaged his true nature, preventing him from being overly flamboyant.
“Why are you looking at me with that kind of look?” Gu Kai squinted his eyes, looked down at himself, his clothes weren’t inside out, he was looking debonair.
Wen Ran chuckled, “I think you are very handsome today. Are you trying to steal Luo Haofeng’s thunder by standing here?”
Gu Kai scoffed, seeing Luo Haofeng coming out of the office, he opened the car door and told her, “Just get in the car. I can’t be bothered to compete with Ah Feng, I’m not interested in the women from your company.”
Wen Ran twitched her mouth, all these people, each and every one, so full of themselves.
“Ah Kai, Wen Ran, where are you off to?”
Just as Luo Haofeng stepped out of the office door, he saw Gu Kai and Wen Ran by the roadside. When he saw them, Gu Kai immediately opened his car door for Wen Ran to get in, Luo Haofeng quickly rushed over.
“I’m having dinner with Ranran. Shouldn’t you be working overtime, since Xiuchen isn’t here?”
After Wen Ran got into the car, Gu Kai closed the door and was also preparing to get in.
Luo Haofeng’s eyes lit up and he grinned, “How can you eat dinner without me? Ah Kai, let me protect Wen Ran with you, so we can leave Qing Yang and Qing Feng behind. What do you say?”
“Xiuchen said that they must accompany Ranran.”
Gu Kai glanced at the car behind him, which had been ready to go the moment Wen Ran had finished work.
“Is your skill inferior to theirs?”
A look of challenge crossed Luo Haofeng’s handsome eyebrows, as he rolled up one of his sleeves, assuming a fighting stance. Xiuchen was just excessively cautious. With Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi not in G City, it wouldn’t be easy to harm Wen Ran.
Gu Kai ignored him, walked around the front of the car, opened the driver’s door and sat in.
“I don’t have any plans tonight, I’ll join you.”
Luo Haofeng opened the car door himself and got in. He was supposed to attend a social event tonight, but he’d relegated it to Mo Zixuan. With Xiuchen absent, it was an excellent opportunity for him to show off.
Gu Kai shot him a glance. He was so fed up with Luo Haofeng’s thick skin he didn’t even bother to comment. Seeing that Wen Ran had fastened her seatbelt, he started the car.
“Brother, where are we going for dinner? Why don’t we invite Xiaoxiao along too? She must be bored, being all alone in her hospital room.”
Gu Kai smiled and nonchalantly replied: “I don’t mind. You should ask Ah Feng. Bai Xiaoxiao has limited mobility. If he’s willing to push her wheelchair and carry her around, then we can go pick her up. If he’s not, we’ll leave it.”
“I don’t mind either. Bai Xiaoxiao is not a pig. I can lift her.”
Luo Haofeng’s remark earned him a glare from Wen Ran: “Can’t you say things better? Have you ever seen a pig as beautiful and eternally slim as Xiaoxiao?”
“Ha ha, Wen Ran, so you mean, Bai Xiaoxiao is a very beautiful pig.”
“You’re the pig.”
Wen Ran glared at him, turned around and ignored him.
“Actually, if Bai Xiaoxiao were a pig, she would indeed be a very beautiful and cute pig. She wouldn’t get fat, and she wouldn’t be afraid of being slaughtered, being a pig is great.”
Luo Haofeng muttered to himself in the backseat. Suddenly his eyes caught a familiar silhouette entering a supermarket, his eyes widened in surprise, blurted out: “I think I just saw Ah Mu!”
“Qin Mu?”
Wen Ran turned in surprise, following the direction that Luo Haofeng was pointing, she saw no sign of Qin Mu.
Gu Kai did not decrease his speed, a moment later, they couldn’t even see the supermarket they had passed, let alone Qin Mu. “Ah Feng, you must have seen wrong. Qin Mu is in Qinghai-Tibet now, how could he be here in G City?”
That guy is having a great time!
Luo Haofeng squinted his eyes, “It really looked like him. I wouldn’t mistake him. How can I, after so many years of brotherhood, not recognize Qin Mu?”
“Qin Mu is a man. I think you should stick to identifying women.”
Gu Kai teased, not taking his words seriously.
Watching Luo Haofeng’s puzzled expression, Wen Ran suggested: “How about this; we go back to that supermarket to check if it’s Qin Mu. If it’s not him, Luo Haofeng, you accept punishment. Is that okay?”
“What if it is?”
Luo Haofeng reflexively asked, his feelings of certainty suddenly wavering.
“If it is him, just invite him to dinner. Ask why he suddenly came back to G City, and make a good blackmail out of him.”
Wen Ran said as if it was matter of fact, Luo Haofeng’s mouth twitched, a charismatic smile spread across his handsome face, “After all that, you just want to blackmail me into treating you to dinner?”
“You guessed wrong, that’s not it. It’s just a meal, my brother can afford it.”
Wen Ran smiled at Luo Haofeng, her eyes shimmering with cunning.
Luo Haofeng furrowed his eyebrows, “Don’t look at me like that. It’s making me feel like you’re possessed by Xiuchen.”
Gu Kai chuckled without commenting.
Wen Ran paused, then asked again: “Are you willing to bet?”
“Bet? Why wouldn’t I? But first, you have to explain the rules. If I lose, what are you planning?”
Luo Haofeng had a feeling that nothing good would come from Wen Ran looking at him with those eyes.
She may appear soft and kind-hearted on the surface, but deep down, she must be as dark-hearted as Mo Xiuchen.
“It’s simple; if you lose, you just have to answer one question for me. That’s all.”
“A question?”
Luo Haofeng eyed Wen Ran uncertainly, as if trying to gauge whether she would keep her word. If it was just answering a question, it didn’t seem too difficult.
“Yes, just question. It’s not difficult.”
“Alright, it’s a bet!”
Luo Haofeng snapped his fingers. Gu Kai turned the car around at the next intersection, and two minutes later, the car stopped outside the supermarket.
The three of them got out of the car, one after another, and walked into the supermarket.
Following them, Qing Yang and Qing Feng couldn’t find a parking space, Qing Yang stayed in the car and instructed Qing Feng, “You go in by yourself, I’ll wait in the car, Miss Wen and Doctor Gu must have gone to do some shopping.”
Qing Feng glanced out the car window to see Gu Kai and Luo Haofeng walking beside Wen Ran into the supermarket. He said, “Wait for me, I’ll go and have a look,” then opened the car door to get out. As he strode towards the supermarket, he wondered why Doctor Gu, who was supposed to take Miss Wen out for dinner, had abruptly decided to go to the supermarket.
