"I’m fine." Ye Ranran said with an unconcerned smile.
After breakfast, the car was already waiting at the door.
"I’m going to change clothes."
"No need, I’ve already arranged a makeup artist for you, just go straight there."
Her face, indeed, was not presentable without some touch-up.
With makeup on, the intricate look improved Ye Ranran’s complexion a lot.
Today, she was wearing a thick down jacket, making her look a bit bloated.
Mother Huo originally wanted her to change, but considering that she might not be able to enter the house easily on the other side, she let Ye Ranran go wearing it.
As soon as the car stopped at the Jun’s house, a military jeep parked beside it.
’One’, covered in snow, got off the jeep.
He looked tired and dusty, as if he had just returned.
Ye Ranran almost doubted whether he was keeping an eye on her, otherwise, why would he conveniently appear just as she arrived?
’One’ glanced at Ye Ranran’s face without any discernible emotion. With her makeup, he couldn’t tell her actual complexion.
But seeing that she seemed in good spirits, he was relieved.
"Madam, Young Madam." ’One’ greeted them, and without waiting for Mother Huo’s response he instinctively stood next to Ye Ranran.
Mother Huo had seen ’One’ a few times and vaguely guessed his identity. She nodded without saying much, and instructed Ye Ranran, "You wait outside for a bit, I’ll go in first."
Jun Mochan was nowhere to be seen, and the old master of the Jun family was heartbroken. It would certainly not be favorable for Ye Ranran to go in rashly.
"I have already informed him, but I think I should go in first to get a sense of the situation."
"I understand, thank you, Mom." Ye Ranran’s eyes curved in a sincere smile.
For every person who was good to her, Ye Ranran never hesitated to show kindness and smiles.
"If Young Master knew you and the Madam are , he would be very happy," ’One’, looking at the back of Mother Huo, said.
It wasn’t that Jun Mochan cared about his family’s opinion, he just didn’t want Ye Ranran to be harassed.
If his family accepted her, her life would be much better.
"If only." Ye Ranran dragged out these words.
’One’ felt a bit frustrated, why had he brought up the Young Master out of the blue?
"If he were here, I wouldn’t be standing here today." Thinking of Jun Mochan, a smile of happiness rose on Ye Ranran’s face.
’One’ watched her, perplexed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Ranran teased him.
"You just seem different today." Her sorrow from the old days seemed to have been swept away and she had become lively. This was a side of Ye Ranran that ’One’ had never witnessed before.
"I just don’t want to look like a widow when I think of him." He had left her with happiness, so when she remembered him, she should be smiling with happiness.
That was the only light in her memory.
How could she let it be extinguished by her tears?
"Madam, you are truly strong," ’One’ finally said after a long silence.
"Take this as your compliment to me."
The two stood side by side in silence, as the snow fell on their heads and shoulders.
’One’ suddenly remembered that day when Ye Ranran was kneeling outside the villa, the snow falling on her like today.
She was humbly kneeling, seeking an opportunity.
Even today she was seeking an opportunity.
The sound of a car echoed behind them, Ye Ranran and ’One’ turned their heads in unison.
