After that, there was no more movement.
Xing Chen fell silent. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
The usual calm and indifferent demeanor that seemed unconcerned with everything was easily broken by just a few words.
In his jade-like black eyes, a gentle smile appeared.
The corners of his lips unintentionally lifted, adding a touch of softness.
He hadn’t looked at his phone last night, so naturally, he couldn’t have replied.
Someone must have been quite anxious waiting last night, right?
In any event, Ran Xiangsi’s proactive contact easily pleased this usually stoic man.
Yawning, Ping Le walked in and, at first glance, saw their young master actually smiling at his phone?
What’s gotten into the young master lately? Could he be that happy alone?
Hearing footsteps at the door, Xing Chen asked without looking up, "Is today’s schedule arranged?"
Ping Le was jolted back to attention, "Yes, young master. A meeting at nine in the morning, lunch with the executives from Global. In the afternoon..."
"Cancel everything," Xing Chen curtly cut in, slipping his phone back into his trousers pocket and striding towards the door.
Ping Le’s gaze followed Xing Chen instinctively, face full of confusion, "Huh? Young master, you’re..."
"..." Xing Chen didn’t answer, just walked straight out.
As he left, the upward curve of his lips never dropped.
Ping Le, puzzled, caught Ping’an who happened to be passing by, and asked, "Brother, the young master has been acting weird these last few days. Do you think he’s possessed? He actually canceled the lunch with Global’s executives?"
Ping’an wasn’t surprised at all. Looking thoughtfully at Xing Chen’s departing figure, he mused, "The young master is handling personal matters."
The sunlight outside grew increasingly warm.
The gears of fate quietly began to turn, drawing the two who had never intersected closer together, binding them tighter.
Those who are destined to meet will eventually meet.
Having not slept well the night before, Ran Xiangsi was woken by the chirping of birds outside her window.
The place she lived in wasn’t in the city center. She had chosen an old apartment complex, and its only advantage was the excellent greenery and seclusion.
No one could easily find her.
However, this convenience had been disrupted last night by two unexpected visitors.
Thinking of this, Ran Xiangsi felt quite annoyed!
She skipped breakfast and started making coffee.
"Princess, check if there are any apartments for rent around the Fourth Ring Road."
Princess’s system was always on, and as long as it was powered, it could sense Ran Xiangsi’s voice.
"Alright, please hold on."
Pouring the coffee beans into the machine, Ran Xiangsi frowned again, "Those two people from last night definitely won’t give up easily. To avoid them causing me more trouble, it looks like I’ll have to move."
As Princess searched for rental information online, it listened to Ran Xiangsi’s words.
Upon hearing she wanted to move, Princess sincerely suggested, "Haven’t you always wanted a home? According to what I’ve learned, no parent on earth would harm their own child, so you..."
"Wrong. There are plenty of scumbags in this world. I just happened to encounter one," Ran Xiangsi interrupted Princess, her slender eyebrows knitting even tighter. "I need to go to school later, I’ve arranged to meet Chu Xiaoge. You stay home and take care of the place."
