Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
In the afternoon, Luanshan Group held an internal meeting.
After the meeting, Luan Suqing stopped Luan Ran, and the words were on her lips. She might have intended to ask about her recent situation, but when she opened her mouth, her tone became cold and questioning: "Are you still living in Xi Shangchen's house?"
Luan Ran didn't understand her mother's purpose. She probably didn't want to express her apology. The only thing her mother couldn't learn in her life was the three words "sorry". No matter how many mistakes she made, it couldn't be her, Luan Suqing's fault.
Luan Ran lowered her eyes and thought for a while: "Well, still in his house."
"Do you like Xi Shangchen?"
"If I say yes, will you let me break up with him?" Luan Ran raised his head and faced his mother's eyes, wanting to hear what she thought.
Luan Suqing was choked by her daughter. This was a satire on her opposition to Luan Yan and Lu Sheng. If she really let them break up, wouldn't it seem that she was unreasonable?
"I want to ask you, have you decided that Xi Shangchen is your perfect match? Have you decided to marry him in the future?"
It is normal for other mothers to ask about their daughters' love lives and their intentions to marry their boyfriends, but Luan Ran thinks it is a bit ridiculous for this to happen to her and Luan Suqing.
Even if they care about each other, it is difficult for them to express it directly, and they may even use the most hurtful words to cover up their true intentions and have been grudges for a long time.
Luan Ran mocked, "Didn't Mom think he was my perfect match in the beginning? Now you're asking me what to do. I like him so I'll be with him. If we find out one day that we can't get along, we'll naturally break up. These are my personal feelings, and I can handle them. Mom didn't ask before, don't ask in the future."
Luan Suqing was speechless by her daughter. In the past, Luan Ran followed her and didn't dare to contradict her. Now Luan Ran couldn't stand it anymore. Although she couldn't get rid of her cowardice and fear in a short time, she was much tougher and no longer compromised.
In the past, if she dared to speak in this tone, Luan Suqing would definitely teach her a lesson. It was enough to make her angry, but Luan Suqing saw the scab marks on her neck. It was caused by her. As a mother, it's okay that she couldn't show concern and love, but she scratched her daughter. This was the result of seeing a doctor. If she hadn't seen a doctor, it might have been worse. No wonder both daughters were not close to her.
Luan Suqing didn't say anything in the end, and the conversation ended unpleasantly.
Luan Ran looked at her outfit. She changed into her favorite flat shoes, and her feet felt much more comfortable every day. She would occasionally let her hair down, and sometimes she wouldn't even wear formal clothes. She was very satisfied with herself and her current life. She turned and walked into the elevator, and sent a voice message to Xi Shangchen, telling him what he wanted to eat in the evening, and asked him to bring Zhou Bai with him. Luan
Ran was still unwilling to give up after the failed matchmaking last time, and called her assistant Xiao Sang over and asked, "Xiao Sang, you don't have a boyfriend, right?"
Xiao Sang shook her head.
Xiao Sang was one of her own, so Luan Ran didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly, "I want to introduce you to a boyfriend, Guanghao's, the Zhou Bai next to Xi Shangchen."
Unexpectedly, after Luan Ran finished speaking... Xiao Sang blushed.
Isn't that settled? The fate has been decided!
...
Xi Shangchen received Luan Ran's message. She has been very busy recently, leaving early and returning late. Xi Shangchen has been eating vegetarian food since she went on a business trip. Seeing how tired she was, Xi Shangchen couldn't bear to torment her and let her continue to starve. Not long after he started eating meat, he was forced to become a monk. She also kept mentioning Zhou Bai and asked him about Zhou Bai. To be honest, Xi Shangchen was a little unhappy.
Even Zhou Bai knew that Zhou Bai would not say anything like "the king will not attend the court early from now on". If their king wanted to not attend the court early, he had to see what General Luan thought.
To be honest, Luan Ran was busier than Xi Shangchen. After all, Luan Shan was a large group. She would be in charge of the entire group in the future and had to be familiar with all its businesses. Luan Shan's interpersonal relationships were also much more complicated than their Guanghao's.
After Xi Shangchen finished listening to Luan Ran's voice, Zhou Bai knocked on the door and delivered some information and green tea. Seeing that the boss looked at him very strangely, Zhou Bai's back was cold and his palms were sweating. He said nervously: "Boss, is there something... wrong?"
Xi Shangchen thought about it for a while and smiled: "My stomach is not feeling well."
With his boss's ordinary expression, he really couldn't tell that he was uncomfortable, but since the boss said he was uncomfortable, Zhou Bai must be concerned. He immediately said: "I understand, boss, I'll go find you some medicine, wait for me."
"Come back."
Zhou Bai was stopped before he took a step. He stood firmly and listened to the boss's instructions. Xi Shangchen held his
forehead speechlessly. What did he understand? He didn't understand when he should understand, and he understood when he shouldn't understand.
But it was also Xi Shangchen's own fault. Zhou Bai didn't dare to take the initiative to interfere in the boss and the boss's wife's affairs. Not only would he have to deduct one month's salary, but if he broke up this well-matched couple, where would he go to watch such a wonderful drama of his boss falling in love?
"Forget it, no need to look for medicine." Xi Shangchen waved his hand.
As soon as Zhou Bai closed the door, Xi Shangchen called Luan Ran. He now agreed with Lu Sheng's statement. Luan Ran was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, and smart. Nothing could really work against his Miss Luan. Being direct was the best way.
"Hello? Xi Shangchen, are you off work? Why are you calling me?"
"As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any rule that says I can't call you if I'm not off work? A fiancé calls his fiancée without a reason." Xi Shangchen seemed to be sighing, leaning back in his chair and rubbing his eyebrows while holding the phone. If Luan Ran could see him at this time, he would definitely know how gentle his eyes were. He softened his voice and said, "If there must be something, it's that I miss you."
Luan Ran just loves straight talk. As soon as Xi Shangchen said he missed her, she felt excited. Luan Yan told her that two people shouldn't be too awkward when getting along with each other, and shouldn't be stingy in expressing themselves, so Luan Ran also replied, "I miss you, too."
Xi Shangchen was the one with the softest ears. Luan Ran just responded to him softly, and he melted it, but this was not enough to satisfy him. A vegetarian man, an unsatisfied man, is not so easily satisfied. He is happy psychologically, but also physically.
"Miss Luan, can I ask you a question?"
Luan Ran was quite surprised. What would Xi Shangchen ask her? Was it about business, or did he want to know about the economy in recent years? Their majors were not related.
"You ask."
Luan Ran thought he was too noble and serious. Xi Shangchen was essentially just a man. His question was: "How long have we not been intimate?"
They had just kissed before going to work. Xi Shangchen liked to kiss her the most. Every time he kissed her, he would kiss her for a long time, and he would not stop until his lipstick was rubbed. So the "intimate" he mentioned must not refer to kissing. Luan Ran thought he was going to ask something serious. She thought too much. She overestimated Xi Shangchen and should not be deceived by his appearance. Her fiancé was a scum again, and he was being a hooligan with her!
Luan Ran bit her lip and blushed, and said coquettishly: "You are committing adultery in broad daylight!"
Hearing Luan Ran's coquettish tone, Xi Shangchen's voice became hoarse: "I not only want to commit adultery in broad daylight, I also want to be extravagant with you every day. We only have so much time to spend together, and you want me to bring Zhou Bai with you on a date. What should I do?"
"I asked you to bring Zhou Bai to introduce him to a girlfriend..."
Xi Shangchen interrupted her and said seriously, "He doesn't need a girlfriend, but I need you, Miss Luan."
Luan Ran reflected on herself. As his fiancée, she did neglect him a little. Relationships need to be cultivated and maintained. She can't always let him pick her up. She has to pick him up too.
