Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
Luan Ran and Xi Shangchen had to meet for many days in the future. Sometimes it was Luan Ran's personal relationship, sometimes it was Xi Shangchen's banquet. There were countless opportunities for cooperation in various social occasions. The tacit understanding between the two of them was gradually cultivated. They were proficient in doing "loving gestures" on various occasions.
In the past, Xi Shangchen didn't like socializing very much, but now it's different. He can openly ask Luan Ran to accompany him as his fiancée, and Luan Ran won't refuse. If he can't find a reason, he even wants to hold a dinner party every week.
The engagement party was scheduled for the weekend of next month. Once this date was announced, the news of the marriage between the two families was confirmed. Guanghao and Luanshan were not very high-profile, and the marriage was not vigorously promoted. Only some media began to write press releases about him and Luan Ran. The three words "divorce feeling" were the evaluation of the media. Using a blurry picture taken, they said that when they stood together, they looked like ex-husbands and ex-wives who had divorced 800 times.
This time it was even more excessive, saying directly that they had to divorce even if they got married.
As Xi Shangchen's assistant, Zhou Bai rarely saw his boss look so cold when he was looking at his phone. Xi Shangchen sent the content of the news to Zhou Bai's WeChat and said, "Ask the public relations to handle these articles and ask them to write something positive."
The saying that even if you get married, you have to divorce really made Xi Shangchen very unhappy.
Zhou Bai didn't quite understand the boss's thoughts about the future boss's wife. The publicity department had long proposed to use the boss's appearance for marketing, but it was the boss himself who rejected it. A group of female employees scolded the boss for being wasteful. He was very puzzled. As long as the news releases written by the third-party media did not involve negative news about Guanghao, the boss usually let them go. Why did he think of controlling it today?
An excellent assistant does not question any of the boss's actions. Zhou Bai said, "Okay."
Xi Shangchen asked as usual, "Is there any banquet or drinking party that needs to be attended tonight? Small ones are not necessary."
The venue is too small, and Miss Luan is not willing to go.
Zhou Bai: "..."
Recently, the boss has been looking for places to socialize every day. This month's socializing is more than he has attended in a year. If you tell him that there is no socializing today, he will be unhappy. Sometimes he is very happy after the socializing. People who don't know would think that he has negotiated a business worth tens of billions.
Zhou Bai thought about it. There are indeed no social invitations tonight...
"Boss Huang has organized a bureau..." Zhou Bai saw that Boss Xi's expression was not right, and immediately said wittily: "There will be a birthday party in Yaoshi next month, and we are invited."
Luan Ran will definitely not refuse such a serious matter as a birthday party. Xi Shangchen's brows relaxed: "Well, let's go home. You have worked hard today."
After work, Xi Shangchen did not go home directly, but went to the hospital instead.
I haven't visited my grandfather for a few days.
There was a plate of fruit in the ward and a bunch of sunflowers at the bedside. Xi Shangchen was quite surprised. The nurse would not buy flowers. These flowers must have been sent by others, but the old man had no relatives or friends in the capital. His second uncle was not so conscientious.
Seeing his grandson staring at the flowers, Grandpa Xi smiled and said, "Ran Ran gave them to her. She said that seeing flowers would make her feel better. These are all bought by her."
"Has she been here?"
Luan Ran was so narcissistic that she would not tell Xi Shangchen even if she came. He did not know that Luan Ran had been to the hospital.
The nurse replied, "Miss Luan came twice. She said she was passing by for work. She talked to the old man for ten minutes and then left."
Grandpa Xi smiled and said, "That girl always praises you, saying that you have a good career and work very hard. She didn't come to see me because she was too busy. She just found excuses for you. Cherish her. Such an excellent girl is rare."
Xi Shangchen could not think that Luan Ran would come to see his grandfather and speak for him.
He was not narcissistic enough to think that Luan Ran did all this because she loved him. She was essentially a proud and soft-hearted tsundere. She was pure and kind in her bones, so she would consider the psychological state of the elderly and his difficulties.
No matter what her reason was, this matter touched him.
She could continue to refresh his understanding of her every time. The Luan Ran he knew was probably just the tip of her iceberg. She was delicate and cute, tough and soft, and there were many, many beautiful things about her.
It was like a surprise gift from God, and it was impossible to unpack it.
"We will be engaged in a few days, Grandpa. I will take a video to show you then." Xi Shangchen had never looked forward to his engagement party so much.
Grandpa was unable to leave the hospital due to his physical condition and could not attend the engagement. The old man also knew that his time was coming. He was content to see his grandson live happily before he died, and there was a cute little girl to talk to him. The two young people were so filial, and he kept saying, "Okay, okay."
Xi Shangchen stayed in the hospital for more than two hours and waited until his grandfather fell asleep before he left the ward.
When driving home, Xi Shangchen received a call from Luan Ran.
The moment he saw the caller ID, he knew very well that his emotions were being manipulated.
"The dress for the engagement party has arrived. Come over tomorrow to try it on and see if it fits. There's still time to change the size." Luan Ran must have something to ask him.
"Not tomorrow, right now."
Luan Ran asked in confusion, "Are you in a hurry?" Xi
Shangchen smiled softly, as if he could feel his inner joy through the phone screen. He turned the steering wheel and turned around at the intersection in front: "Yes, Miss Luan, I'm very anxious."
He couldn't wait any longer.
...
Half an hour later, Xi Shangchen appeared in front of Luan Ran.
This store is one of the brands under the Luan family. Luan Ran's engagement dress was also customized by her own brand. When Xi Shangchen arrived, there was not only Luan Ran in the store, but also a stylist, who was a man, who was measuring Luan Ran's waist.
Xi Shangchen has always controlled his temper very well. He is not a person who writes his mood on his face. He is used to not changing his expression even when the sky is falling. He does not want to expose his weaknesses, so he learns to suppress them and not show them directly. However, this restraint has repeatedly collapsed in front of Luan Ran. He admits that he is very unhappy now. When he sees a man getting very close to Luan Ran, he can understand what it means to be so angry that his lungs are about to explode.
"Aren't Miss Luan's clothes ready?"
Xi Shangchen interrupted them and walked quickly to Luan Ran. Without making a sound, the stylist came to the side.
Stylist: "..."
It seems that she is being targeted.
"Ran Ran wants to change her waistline. She thinks a dress is too tight around the waist." The stylist is very stubborn and dares to speak at this time.
"Oh, that's it." Xi Shangchen curled his thin lips, raised his chin slightly, the lines of his jaw were very tight, his eyebrows like thick ink frowned, his starry eyes narrowed naturally, and his eyes swept across like a knife.
One word, "Miss Luan", one word "Ran Ran", no matter how you listen to it, it makes people uncomfortable.
Stylist: "..."
Rumor has it that Luan Ran's fiancé has a very good reputation in the circle. Words like gentle, modest, refined, and the best-tempered boss of the year are all used to describe him, making the public really think that Xi Shangchen is a kind person.
The stylist took away the ruler and clothes, shut up and went to change the size of Luan Ran. Only
Luan Ran and Xi Shangchen were left here.
