Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
Luan Ran and Xi Shangchen officially changed their views on each other and had a deep impression when they had just met each other for a week.
Luan Ran had not lived the life she wanted in the first half of her life. Luan Suqing wanted a qualified heir, and various study plans were formulated for her since she started school. Once she reached adulthood, Luan Suqing arranged various blind dates for her.
After picking and choosing, Xi Shangchen was chosen in the end.
Seriously speaking, Xi Shangchen's name should be ranked thousands of miles away. He was not her first blind date, and probably not the last one. He was able to stand out from a group of blind dates and become her fiancé because he was more suitable.
Xi Shangchen probably had the same idea, so he made it clear at the beginning that he did not plan to marry Luan Ran.
Luan Ran was angry at first about Xi Shangchen not wanting to marry her, but then she thought that they had no feelings for each other and she didn't want to get married. There was no need for her to be angry, so she was relieved and focused on playing the role of an engaged couple with him, each taking what they needed, using each other as a shield, and cooperating... It was quite pleasant.
But no one can be sure of the future.
That day, Luan Ran was still in the office, and when she was about to get off work, Xi Shangchen sent her a WeChat message which was the location of a bar. It was probably a gathering of friends, and he asked her to go there just to pretend
, or to find an excuse to help him finish the socializing and take him home. For this kind of thing, they had to cooperate with each other.
Luan Ran also called him out for socializing in the middle of the night, and she had to go for both emotional and logical reasons. It was almost ten o'clock when Luan Ran drove to the bar. When she entered the private room, she found that there was someone she didn't like very much there, her previous blind date - Su Lixi.
"Little Luan is here." I don't know who saw her first and shouted.
Xi Shangchen sat in the corner, got up, and walked to the door to ask for some time. He helped Luan Ran carry his handbag and smiled, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
"All right."
Luan Ran said, glancing at Su Lixi, who was drinking. It had been a while since they last met, and he thought he would have improved a little, but he didn't expect that his clothes and appearance were still very pretentious.
Luan Ran followed Xi Shangchen and sat next to him. There were many people in the box, so they had to sit closer. Xi Shangchen's arm would touch her body. In order not to offend her, he had to put his arm on the back of the chair. It looked like Luan Ran was held in his arms. Their faces were in harmony, but their bodies were very intimate. They were an unpredictable couple.
"You're so late, you should punish yourself with a drink, right?"
The person who spoke was Su Lixi. Everyone came here to drink and party, and friends were all dressed casually, but he insisted on wearing a suit and tie. He spoke in a superior tone, and I don't know what he put on his hair, it was shiny.
Luan Ran resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him. She picked up the wine glass on the table, and Xi Shangchen held her hand.
"It's my fault that she was late. I didn't tell her in advance. If anyone should be punished, it should be me."
Xi Shangchen smiled, and his eyes looked at Su Lixi inconspicuously. He knew everyone present. Some of them he didn't know well, but he had heard of them. This Mr. Su was a high-ranking official. His family was in politics. He was also above average in appearance, thin and handsome.
Luan Ran had no objection to someone helping her drink. She let go of her hand, and Xi Shangchen took the wine glass from her hand and drank it all.
Xi Shangchen handed her the food on the plate and said, "Eat something. Don't drink on an empty stomach."
Only Luan Yan had told Luan Ran not to drink on an empty stomach before. Luan Ran was slightly startled, and whispered in his ear, "Thank you."
That was also the first time Luan Ran thanked Xi Shangchen.
The hot air brushed against his ears, her voice was soft and pleasant, her hair brushed against his face, Xi Shangchen was a little absent-minded, and subconsciously fell into her clear eyes. He unexpectedly discovered that Luan Ran had a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Boss Xi hasn't had the wedding yet, and he's already protecting his wife. Have another drink!" The others cheered.
Luan Ran felt uncomfortable with the word "wife". The light was too dim, and Xi Shangchen didn't notice. He poured himself a glass of wine and cooperated with everyone's teasing. He didn't respond too much to others saying that Luan Ran was his wife, as if Luan Ran really became his wife, and the act of drinking was like thanking everyone for congratulating him.
Luan Ran didn't know Xi Shangchen very well. After all, they hadn't met a few times at this time. After just a few contacts, the atmosphere was very lively wherever he was. No matter whether others were joking or deliberately mocking, he could face it with a smile, as still as a mountain, never embarrassing others, and never letting the scene cool down.
Although this smile is like a mask, people who get along with him at least don't feel neglected, so his reputation in the circle is quite good.
Compared with Su Lixi, Xi Shangchen is perfect. Luan Ran
only thought about this in her heart. As soon as she finished thinking, there was a "bang" sound, and Su Lixi smashed the wine glass, and the glass shards shattered all over the floor. The scene instantly became extremely cold. Luan
Ran is used to such things. Su Lixi, a pretentious man, has never been normal when attending parties, especially when he was on a blind date with her, but someone would still invite him just because he has a good family background of being an official. After
smashing the glass, Su Lixi left the box. Luan Ran called the waiter to clean up. There were a few friends in the box who were good at dealing with things. Without Su Lixi, the scene quickly became hot.
To put it bluntly, this kind of gathering is to introduce friends to each other, to gain more connections, and to expand the circle of friends. She cooperated with Xi Shangchen to introduce acquaintances to each other. In terms of cooperation, Luan Ran felt that Xi Shangchen was a very good partner. He was not dull and had no bad temper. Sometimes he would help her block the wine and take over the conversation. Face, respect, and interpersonal relationships, Xi Shangchen achieved all aspects.
The drinking was fast, and the party was over. Luan Ran had not slept well for the past two days because of work. She was dizzy, her alcohol tolerance was greatly reduced, and her steps were a little unsteady.
After the party, she went to the bathroom to wash her face and sobered up a little. As soon as she walked out of the bathroom door, she was blocked by someone.
Luan Ran opened his eyes and saw that it was Su Lixi...
Luan Ran leaned against the wall and said, "Su Lixi, why haven't you left yet?"
Su Lixi glared at Luan Ran and said, "That Xi Shangchen looks a lot like me. He is the substitute you found, just to make me sad, right?"
Luan Ran: "?"
Luan Ran didn't understand. How was Xi Shangchen like him? If it was about appearance, that was Luan Ran's fixed aesthetic. Su Lixi was not bad looking, with regular features, soft facial lines, and handsome eyebrows, which was in line with Luan Ran's consistent aesthetics, but Luan Ran couldn't stand his style of doing things. He was childish and mysteriously confident. Stopping her and saying these words was enough to prove what kind of person he was.
It was Luan Ran who proposed to end the blind date. She directly stated that she didn't like him at the time, which might be unacceptable to him. He harassed her in the first few days, but he stopped after the news that she was going to get engaged. Recently, I don't know what's wrong with him.
Luan Ran was sleepy and said unhappily: "How can you say such things? Are you sick? Have you read too much stand-in literature?"
Su Lixi was incredulous and asked: "Don't you think so in your heart? Then why did you look at me the first thing you saw when you entered the box? This shows that I am in your heart! Eyes can't lie, no matter how much you lie, it's useless."
"..."
Luan Ran wanted to pry open his brain to see what was inside. She took a casual look, wondering if he was still the same as before. He thought she loved him? And he loved her insincerely? This train of thought was wonderful.
The wine was a little bit drunk, and it was late. Luan Ran had to go to work tomorrow. She was groggy and just wanted to find a place to sleep early.
"If you are sick, go see a doctor. Narcissism needs to be cured. Who told you that Xi Shangchen looks like you? You should get your eyes treated as well. I'll say it again, I don't like you! Can you get out of here now?"
Su Lixi was unconvinced and said, "Then who do you like? Do you really like Xi Shangchen?!"
Luan Ran was too lazy to argue with him and said casually, "Yes, yes, yes, I like Xi Shangchen. I love Xi Shangchen to death. I can't live a day without him. Xi Shangchen is the light of my life and the only man in my life. He is a thousand times and ten thousand times more handsome than you. He is taller than you and more pleasing to me than you. Are you satisfied? If you are satisfied, then get out of here."
Luan Ran pushed him away and took a step forward. Suddenly, he stopped. Coincidentally, behind Su Lixi, Xi Shangchen was standing...
