Chapter 684: 0674 Are you sure it’s him? Chapter 684: 0674 Are you sure it’s him? Listening to the man’s tender, low voice, Su Ran smiled slightly and looked up at him:
After arranging the washed dishes and utensils, she took a towel from the side to dry her hands.
When Su Ran and Fu Qiyuan walked out of the kitchen, it was already almost eleven at night.
After a busy day, when she finally relaxed, sleepiness gradually overtook her.
Usually, they both had the habit of taking a walk after meals, but it was too late and they were too sleepy now, so Su Ran didn’t have the heart for it.
“I’m so sleepy, I’m going upstairs to sleep.”
Fu Qiyuan wrapped his arm around her shoulder, tilting his head to look at her.
“It’s not good for the body to sleep right after eating!”
Su Ran couldn’t help but yawn, and her starry eyes were glazed with a layer of hazy moisture.
“It’s okay just this once, besides, it’s so late. What else can we do?”
Fu Qiyuan curled his lips, looking down at her.
“It’d be best to exercise a bit for digestion!”
“Exercising right after eating isn’t good for the body either!”
Su Ran’s heart stirred slightly, feeling the warm breath the man sprayed on her face, and as she lifted her gaze, she met his pair of crimson eyes.
The two were clearly not on the same wavelength.
“No, I’m really sleepy.”
Fu Qiyuan stooped to scoop her up in his arms and headed towards their room.
“You won’t be sleepy in a bit!”
As usual, Fu Qiyuan drove Su Ran to Qianran International first and then drove back to his company.
Over time, it seemed they both had grown accustomed to this routine.
As soon as she arrived at the office, Su Ran called for two emergency meetings.
By the time she returned to her office, it was nearly noon.
Su Ran tossed the documents onto her desk, took off her suit jacket, and settled into her chair.
Qin Ke followed Su Ran into the office and, seeing her tiredly pinching the bridge of her nose, went to the water dispenser to pour her a glass of warm water.
“President Su, you must be exhausted after a morning of meetings. Have some water first!”
Su Ran didn’t look up, her fingers lightly tapping on the desk.
Qin Ke got the hint and placed the cup on the desk.
Standing across from the desk, she looked down at the time and then spoke up.
“President Su, would you like me to arrange lunch for you?”
Su Ran shook her head, lifting her eyes to her.
“No need, I have an appointment at noon.”
Su Ran stood up from her chair, took a sip of water from the cup on the desk, and then said:
“This afternoon, go to the advertising department, filter through the new brand logo designs, and then bring them to my office, also, clear my schedule for the afternoon.”
“Okay, President Su.”
“Mm, you can go out now!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ke nodded and left the office.
That morning Su Ran had made an appointment to meet Su Zhongyuan at noon to tell him about the engagement. She wanted to tell him in person.
Although there was still a week left, it was still good to inform him in advance.
However, she didn’t want to see other members of the Su family for the time being, so they agreed to meet outside.
Glancing at the time and seeing it was almost time for her appointment with Su Zhongyuan, Su Ran stood up, put on her coat, took her car keys, and left the office.
A very famous tea house in Yong City.
With an elegant environment and an antiquated charm, it’s a place where one can read books, play chess, listen to music; it’s a nice spot for leisure activities.
This place isn’t just popular among the elderly–many young people under heavy stress also like it a lot.
Sitting here quietly for an afternoon, brewing a pot of tea, reading for a while, listening to the qin for a bit–no worries at all!
It’s quite close to the Su Family home, just about a ten-minute drive. The meals here focus on being light and nutritious, which suits Su Zhongyuan very well.
When Su Ran arrived at Bamboo Orchid Wind, Su Zhongyuan had already arrived ahead of her.
She went over and sat opposite him, greeting him softly.
Su Zhongyuan nodded, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Su Ran.
After taking a light sip, Su Ran didn’t waste any time and went straight to the point.
Upon hearing Su Ran’s words, Su Zhongyuan fell into a long silence.
After a good while, he finally spoke.
“Are you sure it’s him?”
Clutching the teacup in his hands, Su Zhongyuan’s voice sounded very calm, although there was no hiding the shock in his eyes.
Su Ran responded calmly, but a faint smile hung on her delicate face.
The sunlight outside the window was bright, and Su Zhongyuan could see the expression on her face crystal clear.
Again, there was a long silence–when he spoke again, his tone still couldn’t hide his concern.
“This time look sharp, see people more clearly. The world isn’t short of men, but it’s short of good men!”
“Grandpa, rest assured, there is no better man in the world than him.”
Su Zhongyuan was a bit surprised.
He somewhat understood Su Ran’s character and it was the first time he’d heard her praise a man so highly.
Even for someone like Gu Heng in the past, she had only been indifferent at most!
What kind of man inspired such confidence in her?
“Won’t you ask about his family background?”
Su Zhongyuan was a bit startled by the question, but then shook his head.
“Grandpa trusts your judgment. If you like him, that means he must be a good kid too. But, you shouldn’t have chosen this time…”
Su Ran looked up at him steadily, her gaze enigmatic.
“Why not? Are you opposed to him asking for my hand from the Su Family?”
Su Zhongyuan finally sighed lightly, helplessly saying:
“With their ugly attitude, asking for your hand now would just benefit them for nothing. Why bother…”
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”
Su Ran interrupted Su Zhongyuan, speaking flatly.
Su Zhongyuan sighed again, helplessly shaking his head.
Su Ran merely smiled and said nothing.
At this time, the waiter began serving the food, and after everything was on the table, Su Ran picked up some of the dishes he liked and placed them in his bowl before saying:
“Give it a try, the food here isn’t bad.”
Su Zhongyuan looked at the dishes in his bowl, feeling both comforted and a bit bitter in his heart.
So many years had passed, and he hadn’t expected Su Ran to remember his preferences.
But then he thought about it, of course!
Xiao Ran was always a considerate and attentive child.
The two were about to start their lunch when they faintly heard approaching footsteps. Su Ran turned her head and saw a tall and upright figure appear from behind the screen.
Eminently majestic and elegant–it was Fu Qiyuan.
A flash of surprise crossed Su Ran’s eyes, and the words slipped out of her mouth subconsciously.
“How come you’re here?”
Fu Qiyuan’s gaze first fell on Su Ran, then turned to Su Zhongyuan sitting across from her, his brow moving slightly as he responded to her:
“I just happened to be handling something nearby and saw your car at the entrance.”
As he finished speaking, he also stopped next to Su Ran.
Su Ran nodded slightly and made room for him.
“Have you had lunch yet?”
Seeing Su Ran’s instinctive gesture, a hint of amusement flickered in Fu Qiyuan’s eyes as he spoke calmly:
