There are some girl’s clothes scattered in the guest room, along with a fragrant scent unique to girls. The master bedroom is very tidy with a cold aura emanating from it.
Luckily, although the two were under the same roof, it was clear that they weren’t sharing a room, let alone a bed. Lin Ruonan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After walking around, she sat down on the sofa and turned to see the girl still standing at the doorway: "Come over and sit."
An Ran moved slowly with difficulty, her legs somewhat weak. This woman’s aura was too strong, equal to Mu Xingfeng’s; she felt a bit intimidated.
More importantly, she didn’t know what this woman was here for, and she said she was here to find her.
An Ran sat on the sofa opposite, then heard the woman speak: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Lin Ruonan, and I am Mu Xingfeng’s fiancée."
An Ran suddenly lifted her head; though she had considered the possibility that this woman was Mu Xingfeng’s girlfriend, she had never imagined they had this kind of relationship.
Fiancée? So Instructor Mu already has a fiancée. Then why did he say all those baffling things to her, even saying to wait until she grew up? It turns out it was all to play with her.
Inexplicably, An Ran felt a trace of disappointment. It wasn’t that she really wanted to be Mu Xingfeng’s girlfriend, but because... he deceived her.
Lin Ruonan continued, "I know your name is An Ran, you are Xingfeng’s savior, and I’m very grateful to you. Without you, I might have lost Xingfeng."
An Ran awkwardly waved her hand: "No need to thank me, anyone would have done the same."
"You really are a good girl," Lin Ruonan smiled tenderly like a plum blossom blooming in deep winter: "You must have seen Xingfeng’s character; he’s the kind of person who repays a drop of water with a fountain. Even if you have a small kindness towards him, he would give his life in return. I know you have difficulties now, but I hope you will also understand my predicament."
An Ran sat awkwardly, her hands twisting continuously. To be honest, she wished there was a hole she could crawl into. If she had known Mu Xingfeng had a fiancée, she would never have stayed here.
This feeling of being confronted by the legitimate wife made her too ashamed to lift her head.
"Sorry, you misunderstood. I’m not what you think; I only see Instructor Mu as my instructor. Because I have nowhere to go on weekend nights, Instructor Mu took me in." An Ran explained weakly and palely.
Lin Ruonan smiled lightly, like the spring breeze: "I didn’t misunderstand you. I just think it is inconvenient for you two to live . We are getting engaged this Chinese New Year, and I’m also worried about your reputation, as you’re still a young girl."
An Ran lowered her head, nodding continuously. She felt she was truly at fault; living with Instructor Mu, where would that leave his fiancée’s dignity? Even though his fiancée wasn’t making a fuss and understood that Instructor Mu was repaying a kindness, she still kept thanking her for saving him.
Seeing An Ran’s demeanor, Lin Ruonan felt a sense of relief. She was genuinely afraid that they were in that kind of relationship, afraid that this girl had already fallen in love with Mu Xingfeng and wouldn’t let go. Fortunately, everything seemed still manageable.
She took out a key from her bag and placed it on the coffee table: "An Ran, I know it’s inconvenient for you to return to school late after your shift on weekends. This is my apartment on Xing’an Road. You can stay there on weekends. It’s close to both the bar and the school, and fully furnished. You can live there with peace of mind."
