Mo Ran felt a bit awkward, sat down opposite him, nodded, and smiled, "Yes."
They had only not seen each other for a bit over a month, yet it felt like several years had passed.
The atmosphere grew somewhat silent, and Tang Song glanced at the house and asked, "You’re not with Gu Yixuan anymore?"
"No, this time I really cut ties with him," Mo Ran answered honestly, completely unaware that her words conveyed this message to Tang Song.
They had broken up, so now he had a chance.
"Not long ago. By the way, last time I saw you with a girl, is she your girlfriend?" Mo Ran launched another awkward topic in order to change the subject.
After she said it, she regretted it, confirming to herself that she was indeed a bit slow-witted.
Tang Song was somewhat baffled, "Which girl?"
"Ah, I must have seen wrong," she hastened to correct her mistake.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Song replied, "The girl you’re talking about must be my sister. She’s very clingy, I didn’t expect you to witness that embarrassment. Other than walking with her, I haven’t walked with any other woman. Of course, except you." Thɪs chapter is updated by novelꞁire.net
He certainly didn’t want any misunderstandings between them because of anyone.
His last sentence made Mo Ran feel even more awkward. She used to have a crush on Tang Song, had even liked him. But after so many experiences alongside Gu Yixuan, her view on love had considerably cooled.
In the prime of her life, she paradoxically harbored a heart disillusioned with the world.
"So it’s your sister, I think I heard you mention her that time. Your sister is very pretty, and you’re good-looking too. Your parents must be good-looking as well," Mo Ran quickly said with a smile.
Tang Song gazed deeply at her but said nothing.
In the past month, he had tried his best to forget her. Finally, he could focus on work without thinking about her too much, only to unexpectedly run into her again.
His heart began to beat once more, and he heard himself say: If he liked her, he shouldn’t let her slip away again. It’s hard to find someone who touches your heart in a lifetime.
Feeling embarrassed under his gaze, Mo Ran looked away and said, "How come you are here? Do you have friends living in this area?"
"No, this neighborhood is being demolished, and someone asked me to take their legal case," he replied.
Mo Ran remembered old Mr. Li she met in the morning; the lawyer he mentioned, was it him?
