“It’s just a meal. What’s there to hide?” Chen Chen looked at the man and said coldly to Bai Ran.
“That’s right, Ran Ran. Let’s eat together,” Jiang Yun suggested to Bai Ran when he saw that the atmosphere was off.
Hearing this voice, Chen Chen recognized him. He was the person who had looked for her when Bai Ran made porridge for him.
It seemed like the two of them had a deep relationship!
Chen Chen looked at Jiang Yun with hostility.
“Alright then.” Bai Ran could only nod.
When the two people who’d invited her in the beginning saw that there was no chance, they returned gloomily.
Bai Ran and Jiang Yun got into the backseat of Chen Chen’s car.
On the way, Hu Wan approached Bai Ran with a smile and joked, “Ran Ran, this is the classmate you mentioned last time, right?”
“Mm-hm.” Bai Ran’s heart was on Chen Chen, who was sitting in the front seat. She could not be bothered to deal with her. She did not know what the classmate she was talking about was anymore and just nodded casually.
“Indeed, you two seem to be very close. Congratulations on finding a boyfriend who loves you so much,” Hu Wan continued.
When Jiang Yun heard this, he turned to look at Bai Ran.
Bai Ran then realized that something was wrong. It was what Chen Chen had specially asked her to explain to Hu Wan previously!
However, since that was the case, she could only go with the flow. She held Jiang Yun’s arm and squeezed out a smile. “Yes, thank you, Sister Wan.”
Chen Chen, who was sitting in the front seat, was already gritting his teeth.
After getting out of the car, Bai Ran deliberately slowed down and pulled Jiang Yun along.
“Jiang Yun, I’m sorry. It was a misunderstanding. I didn’t…” Bai Ran explained, not knowing what to do.
“It’s okay. I know. I was just pulled here to cover for you. It’s understandable.” Jiang Yun smiled gently.
“That’s good. Thank you. Don’t misunderstand me.” Bai Ran smiled and pulled Jiang Yun along as she sped up to catch up to the two people in front.
The four of them found a private room. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
After ordering, Bai Ran made an excuse that she was going to the bathroom and wanted to come out for a breather. The four of them were too awkward!
Unexpectedly, Chen Chen also said that he wanted to pay and went out.
Hu Wan watched as the two of them went out one after another. A cold expression appeared on her face, and her hands clenched unconsciously.
Bai Ran had just run to the balcony outside the private room when Chen Chen chased after her.
As soon as he saw Bai Ran, he leaned forward and asked, “Was that really your boyfriend?”
“What does this have to do with you?” Bai Ran shrank back. “We’re already divorced.”
“I’ll say it again. We’re still husband and wife!” Chen Chen’s anger rushed to his face. He grabbed the railing of the balcony behind Bai Ran and forced himself closer.
“Um… can you let go of me first and stay away from me…” Bai Ran had already been forced to lean against the balcony.
“No, unless you tell me!” Chen Chen was not far from her. He was so close that Bai Ran could feel his breathing.
“Chen Chen, our so-called husband and wife is just a title. Soon, we won’t even have this title anymore. Why are you interfering in my matters?!” Bai Ran was a little uncomfortable from being suppressed.
“As long as this title is around, I can interfere!” Chen Chen said angrily.
“Isn’t this what you wanted? Look how much you agreed with me when I explained it to Sister Hu Wan the other day!” Bai Ran said.
“…” Chen Chen was speechless. Was he digging a hole for himself?
“But you’re not allowed to do that lousy job of yours again!” Chen Chen was furious when he thought of the two people licking their faces at the door looking for Bai Ran.
“No, it’s not a lousy job! It’s my first job in life!” Bai Ran suddenly had the strength to push Chen Chen away.
Chen Chen was caught off guard. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Bai Ran immediately went forward to help him up. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to, but I really like this job!”
Chen Chen placed his hand on Bai Ran’s and was about to stand up when he saw Hu Wan running over.
Hu Wan’s expression changed when she saw this.
Bai Ran released his grip at lightning speed, causing Chen Chen to almost lose his balance.
Hu Wan took the opportunity to take a few steps forward and help Chen Chen up. She pretended to be innocent and said, “Ah Chen, why are you so careless? You even want us to help Ran Ran.”
The next second, she turned to Bai Ran and said, “Ran Ran, your classmate asked about you just now. He said that you went to the toilet for so long. He was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came out to look for you.”
“Go and see him quickly,” Hu Wan instructed.
“Okay, Sister Wan. I think I’ll skip this meal. I’m sorry.” With that, Bai Ran returned to the private room and pulled Jiang Yun away.
Chen Chen was completely ignored.
Hu Wan looked at Bai Ran’s departing back and gritted her teeth. The two of them were so close just now, and their hands were still placed together. The atmosphere did not seem like that of a brother or sister!
No, she had to speed up!
