"You overpraise me, big brother." Ye Ranran covered her mouth with laughter.
Huo Yi took a step forward, and the bodyguard immediately blocked Ye Ranran’s path.
Looking at the man who was as sturdy as iron, Huo Yi’s rigid face coldly taunted, "Ye Ranran, you date another man while you’re with my brother. Now, that’s bold of you."
When did she become so manipulative?
Wait, he knew this about her from long ago, right?
"Thank you for the praise; I also think I’m pretty awesome." Ye Ranran’s laugh was uptight.
Her lovely brows were slightly raised, and the corners of her eyes all showed a trace of laughter which didn’t reach up to her heart.
She didn’t care, and she could withstand all the slander as long as someone believed in her.
"Ranran, if this is your big brother, then I shouldn’t interrupt your time together. We can postpone our meeting until the design draft is ready, and you can review it then."
"Sure, you may go first." Ye Ranran nodded at him.
At this moment, a server came over with a bag, "Miss, here is your takeaway order."
"Thank you." Ye Ranran took the meal, waved her hand at Huo Yi, "Big Brother, goodbye."
Watching her walk away, Huo Yi was suddenly filled with a vague pain, as if something precious was being torn from him.
Right after stepping outside, seeing Xia Shi in a large screen wearing a bra, Ye Ranran’s smile deepened.
She was curious about how Xia Shi was doing now.
With that in mind, she dialed a number on her phone.
Hearing the warm voice from the other end, Ye Ranran’s cold heart gradually warmed up. "Yes, I miss you, and I’ve brought some food for you."
She had brought some sushi for him. Per Uncle Li’s instructions, Ye Ranran had specifically requested that the food be cooked in a bland manner.
A chuckle comes from the other end. "I’m honored that my wife thinks of me while she’s out working."
"You’re my husband, so of course, I think of you."
The words of endearment came out naturally.
Jun Mochan’s hands which were tapping on the keyboard, froze. His heart felt as though something had filled it up, softly.
"By the way, where is Xia Shi now? Can you send me her address?" Ye Ranran suddenly remembered the main agenda.
"Didn’t you call because you missed me?"Joke was clear in Jun Mochan’s voice.
"Yes, I have stopped missing you now and I am on my way to you. It would be boring along the way, right? So, won’t you share something interesting?"
The plan had been her idea, after all, it would be a shame not to see the outcomes.
"I’ll show you when you get back," Jun Mochan’s voice remained gentle, yet held an unyielding edge.
Despite being slightly annoyed, Ye Ranran refrained from further arguments.
Huo Yi and Xu Zi stepped outside and saw Ye Ranran standing under the large screen.
The slender figure appeared somewhat lonely against the bleak autumn wind, emanating a melancholic aura.
Her slightly curled hair draped over her shoulders, gently swaying with the wind. Just her silhouette was beautiful enough to take one’s breath away.
"I just remembered that I have something to do. You go ahead," Huo Yi told Xu Zi before he left.
Compelled to turn her gaze, Xu Zi caught the sight of the next scene.
Huo Yi paced directly towards Ye Ranran. His steps were larger than usual; there was an evident urgency.
Ye Ranran didn’t notice Huo Yi behind her. After ending the call, she got into the car.
By the time Huo Yi reached where Ye Ranran had been standing; the car had already driven away.
Huo Yi quickly got into his car and followed. He trailed her all the way to a place called ’Mesmerizing.’
As he watched Ye Ranran walk inside, he sat in his car, feeling distressed and lost.
