Having said that, she angrily went to pick up a dish of pickled pepper beef strips. Her chopsticks were intercepted midway by him.
"If you can’t eat it, don’t."
"It was you who wanted to see me eat it."
Gu Yixuan smiled faintly, his voice also carrying a hint of pleasure, "I never wanted to see you eat, I was just casually asking, what are you angry about?"
Mo Ran withdrew her chopsticks, finding this person very strange. He had been very angry just before, and now he suddenly seemed happy, it was utterly baffling.
Little did she know, Gu Yixuan was happy because he had confirmed that her swollen lips that night were not because of kissing, but from eating spicy peppers.
He hadn’t been acquainted with Mo Ran for long, but he had come to understand a thing or two about her. She wasn’t the type of girl to behave frivolously, and it was unlikely that she would entangle with Tang Song while being with him.
In fact, if only he had been a little calmer at the time, he would have asked about the reason for her swollen lips. He could only blame himself for being too impulsive then, for the things he did.
"Are you full? Where else do you want to go?" He started to speak and realized his voice was unusually tender.
Mo Ran gave him a strange look and said indifferently, "Let’s go back. I don’t want to go anywhere else."
"Really don’t want to play a little longer?"
"Mmm, I’m tired." Being out with Gu Yixuan, she truly had no interest.
"Alright, let’s go back," Gu Yixuan said, picking up his suit jacket and taking her hand as they walked out of the private room.
Upon exiting, they encountered a couple, none other than Yan Ruyu and her husband Yang Tao.
Unlike the last time they met, Yan Ruyu was not holding onto Yang Tao’s arm. Their faces bore expressions of estrangement and coldness, clearly indicating that their relationship wasn’t as good as it had been last time. Follow current novels on n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Mo Ran guessed that Yang Tao must have been philandering again, or else Yan Ruyu wouldn’t be giving him the cold shoulder.
Upon seeing Gu Yixuan and company, both of them were momentarily stunned. Especially Yang Tao, whose eyes widened in surprise when he saw Mo Ran, his face not hiding his astonishment at all.
Yan Ruyu, thinking that her husband’s lascivious tendencies had resurfaced, darkened in complexion, looking even more displeased. She glared fiercely at Yang Tao, and cast a disdainful glance at Mo Ran as well.
How unlucky, her husband seemed to have taken a fancy to both of the sisters!
Mo Ran’s expression remained natural, as if she did not recognize them, her gaze indifferent.
"Mr. Xuan, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here," Yang Tao quickly regained his composure and greeted Gu Yixuan with a smile.
Gu Yixuan nodded faintly, seemingly not giving much face to him.
