Chapter 116 The Coffee Shop Sequel
Shu Ran didn't know why, but she always felt that Yun Xi was the one who needed to be taken care of.
Could it be due to age?
Seeing that she had reached the door, Shu Ran put aside her thoughts and pushed the door open to enter.
The room wasn't noisy; small groups of people were gathered together, drinking, playing cards, and chatting...
"You're finally here! Ranran, take my place. I've lost so many games!"
Gou Yueling was positioned directly opposite the door, and she saw the two as soon as they entered.
"No, no, you can't leave the field! I'm still waiting to win your glutinous rice ball!"
The speaker was Lin Changyi from the Lin family, who had been eyeing Gou Yueling's horse for a long time and had been secretly thinking about it for some time.
"No, no, my glutinous rice balls are my treasures, I can't give them to you!"
Upon hearing this, Gou Yueling was alarmed and quickly got up to push Shu Ran into her seat.
Yunxi then sat down next to Shuran.
"Consider yourself lucky! Ranran came to your rescue!"
The group laughed and joked, without pressuring anyone.
Most of the gazes directed at Yunxi were curious, but a small number were hostile.
No adults ever appeared in Shu Ran's family; a twenty-year-old girl was referred to as the head of the family.
The implication is self-evident: many people in the port city had their eyes on Shu Ran.
Basically, they all valued the assets controlled by Shu Ran.
Marrying her would be tantamount to taking over the Shu family.
What a great deal!
Moreover, Shu Ran is very beautiful and has a high IQ.
Shu Ran was well aware of this, and she was always accompanied by bodyguards when she came and went. She rarely appeared in public before she came of age, and after she came of age, she went directly to Country Y.
Is this Shu Ran's fiancé?
Shu Ran stood up and clapped her hands.
The room fell silent instantly.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is my fiancé, Yunxi. We will hold our engagement ceremony in Hong Kong next year, and an invitation will be sent to you at that time."
Yunxi nodded slightly: "Next spring, everyone is welcome to attend my engagement banquet with Ranran."
His identity was immediately confirmed.
People who grow up in wealthy families are very good at knowing how to behave appropriately and responding positively when given face.
The room instantly became lively.
In the corner, where shadows obscured her face, Gou Xinglan slowly lowered her head.
It was late at night when I returned home from the banquet.
After washing up, I went to sleep; the bed remained pure and innocent – a testament to "friendship."
Although they are both adults, Shu Ran really couldn't bring herself to take the initiative.
While setting up a stall in the modern world, I bought some baby sachets as a precaution.
It remains in the space, waiting for its owner to use it.
Previously, Shu Ran didn't want it to continue, so Yun Xi really listened and stayed at the kissing stage.
The next day, Shu Lichan received a phone call asking her to investigate the Qian family's affairs in recent years.
Shu Ran completely forgot about the Qian family. The money Shu Ran won yesterday, along with the money Yun Xi won, filled the boxes.
Excitedly, Shu Ran was about to go shopping. She hadn't been shopping in a long time, and since she had won some money yesterday, she decided to spend it today.
What color clothes do you want to wear?
Shu Ran peeked out from the walk-in closet wearing a light blue nightgown.
Yunxi shook her still slightly damp hair, casually wiped the water droplets that had dripped onto her collarbone with a bath towel, and casually uttered three words: "Black, I guess!"
"Row!"
Shu Ran's gaze lingered on her collarbone for a few seconds before she looked away.
She casually chose a red sweater to wear, paired with a long black skirt that reached above her ankles.
Add a black overcoat over it, and it'll be perfect.
"I'm ready!"
Yunxi also returned after changing her clothes, wearing the same black coat.
They drove to the shopping center in two cars.
Uncle Ling drove Shu Ran and Yun Xi.
Xiaowen and Awu followed in their car.
After getting off the bus, I saw the familiar coffee shop. It was here that Shu Ran had taken photos of the famous scene between the male and female protagonists of the novel.
They turned and entered the coffee shop, walking in hand in hand.
"Want some coffee?"
"Hmm, the desserts here are pretty good too."
Shu Ran nodded. She hadn't had coffee in a long time, and the aroma made her reluctant to leave. She decided to come in and go shopping later, since she wasn't in a hurry.
Today's plan was all about shopping and spending money.
"Then I want to try it!"
After ordering their food, the two found a quiet corner and took off their coats, placing them aside.
The other three found another table and sat down, neither disturbing the couple's date nor hindering their safety.
"Brother Tianlei, I'm pregnant!"
Such a familiar name, such a familiar scene!
Hearing the voice beside her ear, Shu Ran felt a moment of disorientation.
This is only her second time at this store, how come we always run into each other!
It's not surprising that the first time was guided by the check-in system, but this time it was completely spontaneous.
"Qiuqiu, really? That's wonderful! I'm going to be a dad!"
???
Who? Isn't it Qian Xinyi?
Shu Ran shifted her position, moving closer to the partition in the middle, wanting to hear more clearly.
I need a sip of coffee to calm my nerves.
Yunxi was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Do you know them?"
Shu Ran shook her head, leaned forward and whispered, "I've heard of him. He's the illegitimate son of the Wang family that we mentioned yesterday!"
I made a one-way soundproof cover with one hand.
"Is there a connection?"
Relaxing her voice, Shu Ran stopped suppressing it.
He denied Yunxi's guess: "No, that's not quite right. You know I came from the mainland, and my original surname was Qian. This Wang Tianlei is my half-sister from my original identity, so we should be a couple. But the girl opposite me is clearly not my half-sister."
I wonder if Wang Tianlei, now that he's lost the chance to inherit the Wang family business, still has any contact with Qian Xinyi.
People are just so easy to talk to!
Qian Xinyi came over aggressively and immediately spotted the adulterous couple in the corner. When she glanced at Shu Ran, her gaze didn't even linger, clearly indicating that she had already forgotten about Qian Duoduo.
That's true. She was only about ten years old that year, and she often stayed in the yard and didn't go out to see people. Ten years have passed, so it's normal that she doesn't remember.
"Wang Tianlei, is this your little lover? You've got some nerve, spending my money and still daring to keep someone else behind my back!"
He slapped Wang Tianlei across the face.
The crisp sound silenced the coffee shop for two seconds.
"Xinyi, calm down. She's my student. I'm just here to tutor her!"
Wang Tianlei wanted to keep the other party calm, so he started telling lies without hesitation.
The girl across from him, named Qiuqiu, turned pale instantly: "Brother Tianlei, you clearly said you loved me the most and would divorce your wife!"
"Fine, you old hag? Is that how you see me? Just you wait, you want a divorce, huh? Go ahead and get a divorce! I've wanted one for a long time!"
Wang Tianlei dropped the pretense: "Heh, what kind of good person are you? You've hooked up with a married godfather, and his wife just passed away, and you can't wait to catch me cheating and get a divorce! Dream on!"
Putting hats on each other?
What a play!
