If it weren’t for the presence of so many people here, she would’ve rushed over to hug him right away!
How could anyone do things so perfectly?!
Seeing Ran Xiangsi smiling, Xing Chen also slightly curved his lips, his eyes filled with a bit of tenderness. "Happy now?"
"Mm!" Ran Xiangsi nodded, feeling a bit delighted. "My head doesn’t even hurt anymore!"
To have avenged such a great vendetta, how could one not feel exhilarated?
Seeing Ran Xiangsi happy like a little kid, Xing Chen’s mood also improved a bit.
Li Guoliang, who had been silent all this time, noticed a slight smile on Xing Chen’s face and quickly moved closer, flattering him with a cheerful tone, "Young Master Xing was worried about the Ran Family’s marriage. You can rest assured now, Gu Zhichao and Ran Zhonghai are both here today. They’ll explain everything to you right now, in your presence. The one who has a marriage agreement with Gu Beichuan is Ran Yingqian!
I, Mr. Li, am here today as a witness. You’re a magnanimous person, so there’s no need to have any more trouble with them!"
You have to know, Li Guoliang is famous for reading the room well.
Him stepping out at this moment not only alleviated the tense atmosphere but also scored points with Xing Chen, while also helping Ran Zhonghai and Gu Zhichao out of their predicament. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
It’s practically killing three birds with one stone!
Xing Chen listened and glanced at him, finally turning his gaze towards Ran Zhonghai and Gu Zhichao.
The two exchanged a look and quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, it’s Qianqian who has the marriage agreement with Gu Beichuan!"
"That’s right, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Xiangsi!"
Seeing that their lines matched up, Xing Chen nodded.
He turned to look at Ran Xiangsi, took her hand, and prepared to leave.
Everything that needed to be done was done.
Ran Xiangsi smiled as she stood up with Xing Chen. They had just left the table when they heard Ran Yingqian continuing to dig her grave from behind, "Dad, how can you say that? It’s clearly Ran Xiangsi who is supposed to marry Gu Beichuan!"
Ran Yingqian was now fully consumed with the thought that she would marry a short-lived man and become a widow!
That’s a fate she absolutely didn’t want!
"Shut up!" Ran Zhonghai scolded her.
But Ran Yingqian was still unwilling to give in, "I don’t care! Anyway, I’m not marrying! I..."
"Slap!" Before Ran Yingqian could finish her sentence, Ran Zhonghai slapped her right across the face.
The crisp sound echoed across the room.
Xing Chen and Ran Xiangsi didn’t even turn their heads, but from the sound of the slap, they could guess what had happened.
Ran Xiangsi frowned, not wanting to watch these people put on a show any longer, and whispered, "Let’s go."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xing Chen took her hand and walked leisurely towards the exit.
The rest could be handled by Li Guoliang.
Wasn’t he always very good at such matters?
Once outside the restaurant, Ran Xiangsi felt a weight lift off her shoulders!
Standing in the sunlight, free from her troubles, she enjoyed the spring breeze blowing towards her, feeling like she could almost fly!
Xing Chen followed her at a slow pace, watching her like a happy little bird, and inexplicably, he smiled too.
Lately, it seemed like he had been smiling more often...
Ran Xiangsi happily circled around and returned to Xing Chen’s side, unabashedly giving him a thumbs up!
"You truly are a genius! Your presence just now totally dominated the room! Everyone was so afraid of you!"
"And you? Are you afraid of me?" Xing Chen didn’t stop walking, talking with Ran Xiangsi as they walked.
Actually, they hadn’t eaten much earlier, so now that they were out, they might as well find another place to eat.
