In the blink of an eye, it was Feng Jingjing’s turn to pass the small piece of paper to Lin Junyang. Having learned from previous experience, she didn’t intentionally tear the napkin this time and passed a large piece to Lin Junyang, holding it in her mouth.
Lin Junyang didn’t put on airs, tore off the napkin again, and passed it to Shen Wenxuan. But by the time it reached Shen Wenxuan, the piece of paper was already pitifully small.
"Ah... Finally, it’s the granny’s turn to eat tofu." Mu Wanxin screamed and lunged forward, like a hungry wolf that had been guarding its prey for a long time.
Shen Wenxuan’s eyes were filled with amusement as he held the woman who had pounced on him, enjoying her fragrant kiss.
An Ran couldn’t help but cover her face. "Sister, you’re so enthusiastic."
Mu Xingfeng hugged her, his chin resting on the crook of her neck, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Hmm, you should learn from her."
The warm breath on her ear made An Ran’s face go red again.
Instructor Mu, could you stop teasing me so much? She could barely handle this level of flirtation.
The consequence of Mu Wanxin happily "eating tofu" was that the piece of paper in her mouth could no longer be torn.
An Ran decisively took a sip of wine.
Everyone messed around for a while longer, each having drunk some alcohol, and someone started suggesting they go and play something else.
Mu Xingfeng went outside to take a phone call. After sitting for a while, An Ran also went out of the private room to get some fresh air.
As she passed by the window, An Ran unexpectedly discovered that it was snowing.
The snow wasn’t heavy, more like tiny pellets of snow, falling silently and disappearing as soon as they hit the ground.
Though it wasn’t the snowy scene she had imagined, this was the first time An Ran had seen such tiny snowflakes.
It just so happened that there was an open balcony on this floor. An Ran ran over, pushed open the balcony door, and a rush of cold but refreshing air greeted her face.
An Ran stood on the balcony, letting the tiny, swirling snowflakes hit her face, feeling itchy and cool.
"Miss An, do you like snow?" A clear voice sounded from behind her.
An Ran turned her head to see a tall and slender figure standing at the balcony door — it was Lin Ruonan.
This was her second time meeting Lin Ruonan alone. Unlike the last time, this time she was Mu Xingfeng’s officially announced girlfriend, though only she herself knew it was in name only.
Before An Ran could speak, Lin Ruonan continued, "Xingfeng also likes snow a lot. But having spent so much time in the south, he rarely gets to see snowfall."
Given that Lin Ruonan had come to find her now, An Ran naturally understood why. Hearing her words, An Ran let out a light laugh. "Looks like I’ve found yet another thing we have in common. Even though this is my first time seeing it, I think I’ve already fallen in love with the snow in the Imperial City."
Lin Ruonan’s body slightly stiffened, clearly not expecting An Ran to say that. The last time they met, when she mentioned she was Mu Xingfeng’s fiancé, the young girl had shown genuine shame and embarrassment, definitely not feigned.
What on earth had happened since then? What had given her such confidence to say such things to her now?
Lin Ruonan steadied her emotions, took a few steps forward, and stopped beside An Ran, watching the tiny snowflakes swirling ahead of them. "I heard that Miss An’s visit to the Imperial City this time was unexpected. But catching a snowfall is rare; it’s been a long time since the Imperial City has seen snow."
That day, after returning from Mu Xingfeng’s villa, Lin Ruonan had people investigate his whereabouts since her departure from the Imperial City.
Even while carrying out missions with him, Mu Xingfeng showed no signs of anything unusual. Even during his recovery from serious injuries, when the Mu Family mentioned multiple times that they would notify his girlfriend if he had one, he had always denied it.
