Chapter 114: 0114 has a special fondness
Su Ran’s scalp tingled with numbness, truly worried that the man would do something. Her body subtly leaned back in an attempt to create distance between the two.
The man chuckled softly and stretched out his hand to ruffle her hair.
“Alright, enough teasing. I’ll take you to eat.”
Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief and nodded her head.
She hadn’t eaten lunch, and though she didn’t feel it in the afternoon, she was now so hungry she could feel her back sticking to her stomach.
Fu Qiyuan stepped forward to open the passenger door for her. After Su Ran got into the car, he fastened her seatbelt, then walked around the front of the car and got into the driver’s seat to start the vehicle.
“What would you like to eat?”
The man looked straight ahead and asked.
Without thinking, Su Ran blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Fu Qiyuan let out a soft laugh, glanced at her sideways, and then turned his head back to the road.
“You seem to have a special fondness for firepot?”
Su Ran raised her eyebrows and turned to him, her eyes filled with meaningful depth.
“Firepot is the kind of thing that can easily become addictive, just like… you.”
With a mischievous twinkle in her bright, starry eyes, Su Ran looked at the man with keen interest and some ill intent.
Fu Qiyuan laughed, his breath long and his seductive tone somewhat enticing.
His profound gaze leisurely fell upon her, speaking in a measured tone.
“If you tease, you must take responsibility.”
Su Ran shrank her neck and immediately behaved herself.
“What about you? What are you particularly fond of?”
Su Ran was a bit slow to catch on, but a second later, she got it!
What’s with this man today?
He’s been relentlessly flirting with her.
Luckily her self-control was strong; otherwise, she might not have been able to resist.
Su Ran quietly calmed down and turned her head to look out the window.
In truth, she knew why the man was acting this way.
“Why don’t you ask why I came here today?”
Fu Qiyuan turned his head to look at her, his deep gaze landing on her face.
“If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask. Whenever you’re ready to tell me, I’ll be here.”
Su Ran turned to look at the man’s sculpted, handsome profile, feeling a softness in her heart.
“My mother… she’s here, in a vegetative state.”
Her typically cool voice now carried a rare hint of vulnerability.
Fu Qiyuan’s gaze grew heavier.
He had some guesses in his mind since this was the best hospital in the country for treating such conditions.
Seeing the girl’s vulnerable and sad expression, Fu Qiyuan felt a tightness in his heart, a pang of pain.
“Don’t worry, she’ll get better.”
Su Ran nodded, managing to coax a very faint smile onto her lips.
“I’ll take you to see her another day.”
What Fu Qiyuan didn’t know was that because of his simple words, Mo Shangjie was nearly losing his mind right now.
Twenty minutes earlier.
Fu Qiyuan took out his phone, found a WeChat group where he’d never spoken before, and sent a message that was quite a shock to everyone.
Fu Qiyuan: [How do you make someone happy?]
At the same time, in a high-end club.
Mo Shangjie held a drink in one hand and his phone in the other. He was lounging with one leg crossed over the other, idly scrolling through his phone when he saw something that made him spray out his Bloody Mary.
“What the hell, Shang Xiaoer, what’s gotten into you?”
Feng Chiyan slapped his own clothes in disgust, staying a good two meters away from him.
Mo Shangjie wailed like a banshee.
“What’s gotten into me… it’s not… you guys need to look at the group chat.”
Feng Chiyan raised his eyebrows, his demeanor nonchalant.
Mo Shangjie continued to howl.
PS: I’m a bit stuck on the writing today, so there are only two chapters. I need to get my thoughts in order, and I will start writing about the banquet tomorrow.
See you adorable readers tomorrow!
