In the morning, during office hours, Tang Baijin had already made a call to her.
Bei Ran did not come to the company, but fortunately, Tang Baijin’s good brother Su Tianqing told him that Song Ziyu had made an appointment with Bei Ran.
Tang Baijin was both angry and furious, for he was her major client, and yet was it so difficult to meet with her?
When he arrived at the hotel, he heard Bei Ran utter these words!
No matter how grand and solemn vows of eternal love are, they can’t compare to the tranquility of a simple life where love flows gently and flowers bloom and wither!
The relationship between Tang Baijin and Bei Ran was one of grand vows, while that between Gu Qingchen and Bei Ran was a gentle flow of love through the vicissitudes of life.
"Miss Song, Tianqing is over there looking for you!" Tang Baijin did not suppress his anger, saying coldly to Song Ziyu.
Once Song Ziyu heard that Su Tianqing was looking for her, she left with a slight smile to Bei Ran.
Bei Ran held a coffee cup, sitting by the window. Without lifting her gaze, she remained indifferent, sipping her coffee.
Tang Baijin stood beside her, gazing down at her for a while before sitting opposite her, staring at this woman who persisted in ignoring his ardent feelings!
"Bei Ran—" he called out to her.
Bei Ran looked up, lifting a professional-like, faint smile to her lips, "Mr. Tang..."
This "Mr. Tang" opened up a deep wound in Tang Baijin’s heart!
"How do you call Gu Qingchen?" Tang Baijin couldn’t help but roar lowly.
Bei Ran looked at him, her eyes as calm as a lake.
If Tang Baijin was like a tiger ready to pounce, then Gu Qingchen was like an immobile, hidden leopard; both extremely dangerous beasts.
"It’s office hours, Mr. Tang. Do you like to ask about my private matters?" Bei Ran’s tone remained light, as if she was talking about the weather.
Tang Baijin was already in a rage, "Call me Baijin!"
"I wouldn’t dare!" Bei Ran replied with her usual light and breezy manner, "You are my major client!"
Apart from that, there was no other relationship between them; she had clearly distanced their previous association.
Angry, Tang Baijin flipped the table, knocking the coffee cup to the ground, where it made a "bang bang" sound.
The waitstaff, upon hearing this, did not dare to approach.
Su Tianqing and Song Ziyu hurried over, with Su Tianqing placing a hand on his brother’s shoulder: "Tang San, mind your image!"
Seeing that Bei Ran’s white shirt was stained with coffee, Song Ziyu handed her a tissue, "Wipe it off first!"
Su Tianqing said to Song Ziyu, "Take Bei Ran to change her clothes!"
"Sure!" Song Ziyu took Bei Ran by the hand to the hotel room, while the waitstaff went to buy new clothes.
Song Ziyu looked at Bei Ran’s silhouette against the floor-to-ceiling window, "It is clear to see that Young Master Tang loves you very much!"
Bei Ran turned around, not denying it.
"But, the one you like is my cousin, isn’t it!" Song Ziyu said softly.
Bei Ran was taken aback—wasn’t Song Ziyu’s cousin Gu Qingchen?
She didn’t expect Song Ziyu to have seen through her feelings!
She had always thought she was well-masked, but in front of others, there was still nowhere to hide!
