Chapter 235 Unaware of Being Moved
"Xinglan, where are you?" Xiao Ze called.
"Are you with Xiaoxiao? Is something wrong?" Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye and Xue Bai, who were about to leave.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
"Eat?" Chu Xinglan was taken aback, then deliberately said loudly, "Okay!"
Gu Ye, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.
"boss?"
Xue Bai was about to speak when Gu Ye strode towards Chu Xinglan, snatched her phone, and said unhappily, "What are you having dinner with? A man and a woman alone together..."
"Senior?" Xiao Ze was startled and quickly explained, "It's not just me, there's also Su Ranran, the three of us are eating together!"
"Alright then, you guys go ahead and eat!" Gu Ye said, handing the phone back to Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan was stunned. By the time she came to her senses, Gu Ye and Xue Bai had already left.
"Mr. Gu seems to be too lenient; he even interferes with your private friendships."
Ye Xiaoxiao deliberately nudged Chu Xinglan with her elbow.
Chu Xinglan remained silent.
Can you blame him? It's because Xiao Ze once pursued her. Although he was very confident in his own charm, he couldn't allow his wife to get too close to her suitor.
Chu Xinglan arrived at the agreed location and saw that Xiao Ze and Su Ranran had already arrived. Su Ranran was wearing a light yellow off-shoulder dress, which showed off her curvaceous figure.
She looked even more beautiful after just a few days apart, especially standing next to Xiao Ze; they were practically a perfect couple.
Chu Xinglan glanced at Xiao Ze meaningfully.
When Xiao Ze met her gaze, he quickly explained, "Su Ranran and I just bumped into each other."
Su Ranran felt a little disappointed when she saw that Xiao Ze was trying to distance himself from her.
Chu Xinglan smiled outwardly, but inwardly cursed him as an idiot.
To outsiders, they seemed like a match made in heaven, but he himself was unaware of it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited Su Ranran and her out of all other people.
"Xinglan, congratulations." Su Ranran broke the silence, smiling as she congratulated Chu Xinglan.
“I’ve already made a reservation, let’s go in together,” Xiao Ze said.
"Xinglan, where have you been these past few days on leave?"
During the meal, Su Ranran suddenly asked a question.
Chu Xinglan, who was drinking milk from a beverage cup, choked a little.
"I'm sorry." She wiped her mouth with a napkin, looking apologetic.
Su Ranran was completely confused.
Did she say something wrong?
Seeing Chu Xinglan's reaction, Xiao Ze roughly guessed what had happened.
"Ranran, don't pry into your husband and wife's affairs."
Su Ranran was startled, then suddenly realized.
Chu Xinglan glared fiercely at Xiao Ze.
"It wouldn't have been a problem if you hadn't explained, but now that you've explained, I... I'm so embarrassed!"
Chu Xinglan blushed.
"Let's drink! Let's drink!" Su Ranran quickly picked up her glass. She glanced at the milk in Chu Xinglan's glass and smiled. "Then you can use the milk as wine, let's clink glasses."
The three of them clinked glasses together.
Fate is a wonderful thing. A few months ago, she and Su Ranran were strangers. Su Ranran even regarded her as an imaginary enemy. Unexpectedly, a few months later they became friends. Xiao Ze was the same. Before, he would only want to avoid her when he saw her, but now he takes her with him wherever he goes and whatever he does.
After dinner, Xiao Ze glanced at Su Ranran, and when he met her sad gaze, he seemed a little embarrassed. He then turned to look at Chu Xinglan.
"Xinglan, I'll take you home."
Chu Xinglan glared at Xiao Ze.
Senior, you weren't this shy when you were pursuing me.
"No need, I've already texted Gu Ye, he'll be picking me up soon. You should take Ranran home."
"Okay, then." Xiao Ze looked at Su Ranran somewhat awkwardly. "Ranran, I'll take you home."
Su Ranran nodded quickly: "Okay."
"Xinglan, we're leaving."
Chu Xinglan did not contact Gu Ye; she only said that to give Xiao Ze and Su Ranran a chance to be alone.
After Xiao Ze and Su Ranran left, Chu Xinglan also set off to leave. As she walked out of the private room, she saw Gu Ye coming towards her.
Chu Xinglan was surprised for a moment, then asked shyly, "Why are you here?"
"My wife doesn't come home in the middle of the night, how could I not come?" Gu Ye said with a smile.
"It's not midnight, it's only a little past eight o'clock..."
Chu Xinglan smiled shyly, like a pampered young wife.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ye picked her up in his arms.
"Gu Ye, you... put me down right now, or people will laugh at you."
Chu Xinglan blushed deeply.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the people around her were staring at her with strange looks, especially a few young women who were both envious and jealous.
"What's there to be afraid of when I bring my wife home?" Gu Ye's lips curled into a handsome smile.
"I'm home now!"
Xiao Ze escorted Su Ranran to her doorstep, and Su Ranran was somewhat reluctant to part with her.
Xiao Ze was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected to arrive so quickly. He murmured, "Uh, we've arrived. I'll head back now."
"Xiao Ze, do you want to go upstairs for a drink of water?" Su Ranran asked anxiously as he turned to leave.
Xiao Ze paused for a moment, then stammered, "No, no."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Ze felt a pang of regret; he shouldn't have rejected her.
I don't know why, but when he was pursuing Chu Xinglan, he did whatever he wanted. But after facing Su Ranran, he became someone else.
Xiao Ze slowly walked forward.
As Su Ranran watched his retreating figure, her sense of loss deepened.
It was all just wishful thinking on her part.
Thinking this, Su Ranran turned around and walked home with some sadness.
Not long after Su Ranran left, Xiao Ze suddenly seemed to realize something, and he turned around urgently: "Ranran..."
But where was Su Ranran now?
Xiao Ze sighed. "Forget it, let's leave it at that for today. I'll talk to Su Ranran about it tomorrow."
As soon as Su Ranran pushed open the door, she was startled to see two wrinkled faces.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing? You scared me half to death!"
Su Ranran sighed helplessly.
"Ranran, was it Xiao Ze who brought you here?" Su's father asked with a smile.
"Xiao Ze? Is that the rich young man Ranran pursued in college?" Su's mother asked hurriedly.
"Yes, but he never liked me before, and now that our family is bankrupt, he's even less likely to like me." Su Ranran gave a bitter smile.
“If a man likes you because of your family background, he doesn’t truly care about you and he’s not worth your love. I don’t think he cares about these things, otherwise why would he take you home so late?” Su’s father disagreed with Su Ranran’s words.
"Ranran, did you go out with him? And have dinner together?" Su's mother seemed to understand immediately.
"Oh my god, it's not what you think. We did go out to eat together, but it wasn't just me; there was another female colleague with me too," Su Ranran quickly clarified.
