Chapter 102: 0102 No time
Standing together, they were surprisingly — well-matched.
Gu Heng felt somewhat bewildered.
The Su Ran before him was someone he had never encountered; devoid of her usual icy and dominant demeanor, cold as frost. With just a sidelong glance, he could feel her rarely seen warmth and uninhibited nature.
Why was Xiao Ran so… intimate with him?
How could she, how dare she allow a man to hold her like that?
They had only annulled their engagement not long ago, and she already had another man?
Gu Heng’s handsome face turned gloomy and unattractive, his dark eyes brimming with coldness. That expression…
Was like that of a cuckold.
Su Xinyan also noticed the man by Su Ran’s side.
The man was dressed in a high-end, luxurious suit, tall and straight in stature, exuding a powerful aura befitting someone of a high position, even from just his simple silhouette.
From afar, one could only see his side profile, with features that were finely chiseled and noble in their austere beauty, radiating an air of distinguished elegance.
Su Xinyan slightly furrowed her brows.
He looked like he came from a remarkable family, with a distinguished bearing.
Did such a man exist in Yong City?
Why had she never known about him?
The two got into the car, and soon, the vehicle left State Maple Plaza.
Su Xinyan, arm in arm with Gu Heng, had a faint glint in her beautiful eyes as she watched the direction in which the car disappeared.
“Brother Heng… who is that man? Why… why is he with my sister…”
Her hesitant words caused Gu Heng’s deep eyes to narrow slightly.
“Brother Heng, could it be that I guessed right? In order to retaliate against us, my sister has really just found a random man…”
The words that followed seemed too hard for her to articulate, but as Su Xinyan looked at Gu Heng, her slightly swollen face was filled with worry.
Gu Heng’s complexion darkened suddenly, a complicated and peculiar emotion flashing across his eyes before he spoke indifferently.
“Xiao Ran… she’s not that kind of person. She must be friends with him.”
“Really? When did my sister… make such a friend?”
Su Xinyan murmured, her head bowed, but her words fell without omission to Gu Heng’s ears. His body tensed slightly, and his gaze deepened.
Noticing Gu Heng’s stiff body, Su Xinyan’s eyes revealed a trace of amusement.
Does he still think she’s chaste now?
“Let’s go, to the hospital first.”
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat oppressive, the man’s overwhelming presence spreading throughout the cramped space.
Not only was Qin Feng trembling, but Su Ran wasn’t faring much better either.
As soon as she got into the car, she shrank into the corner, putting some distance between herself and Fu Qiyuan. However, the longer time passed, the colder the expression between the man’s brows became.
Just as she was thinking about how to break the strange silence, the man’s phone in his pocket rang.
He didn’t look at the phone and simply slid the answer button.
His cool voice was slightly hoarse.
There seemed to be a pause on the other end before the voice spoke.
“Boss, the brothers haven’t gathered for a long time, and since you’re free tonight, let’s meet up.”
In the silence of the car, even though the man hadn’t turned on the speaker, Su Ran could hear the other side speaking.
The magnetic voice carried a carefree nonchalance, revealing the speaker to be someone lax and unruly.
Sounded somewhat familiar.
Su Ran’s brows knitted slightly.
The response was cool and decisive.
Su Ran could almost picture the speechless expression on the other end.
