"Xingfeng ntioned to you?" Lin Ruonan’s eyebrows slightly raised, a flicker of joy flashing through her eyes. Xingfeng ntioned her; he actually ntioned her to soone else.
An Ran: "..."
She had just casually said that, besides, Lin Ruonan had clearly contacted her long ago and introduced herself. She couldn’t reveal that eting in front of Mu Xingfeng, right?
Although the feeling of that eting was not good, Lin Ruonan did not deceive her; she and Mu Xingfeng truly were going to get engaged before the New Year.
Ah, seeing such a beauty about to be deeply hurt by herself, An Ran also felt distressed. Hence, she didn’t plan to reveal that incident to Mu Xingfeng, and considering Lin Ruonan as the primary opponent of the task Xingfeng gave her, An Ran felt it’s necessary to make her stance.
"Yes, Xingfeng told about so friends in Imperial City before bringing here and ntioned Miss Lin."
Disappointnt flashed in Lin Ruonan’s eyes. Just friends? She raised her eyes to et An Ran’s pure gaze, maintaining a perfectly nuanced smile: "Xingfeng is right. We grew up together, and can be considered very close friends."
Lin Ruonan deliberately emphasized ’grew up together,’ as if declaring sothing.
"Really? I truly envy you, Miss Lin, growing up with Xingfeng. Unlike , only causing trouble for him, making him worry about , not even knowing a tenth of what you know about him."
On the surface, An Ran’s words seed to envy Lin Ruonan, but upon closer listening, they were full of Mu Xingfeng’s affection for her. This was a subtle display that Lin Ruonan couldn’t fail to notice.
Moreover, there was Mu Xingfeng’s tily interjection. Seeing An Ran’s disappointed look, Mu Xingfeng tenderly asked, "What do you want to know? I’ll tell you later."
Even with Lin Ruonan’s good manners, she couldn’t sit still. No one can bear to see their beloved person flaunt love with soone else in front of them.
Lin Junyang lightly frowned as he watched An Ran. Was it his illusion? He felt that Tuzi seed like a different person this ti, especially towards his sister, showing strong hostility. Could it be she was jealous of his sister?
"Well, Grandpa’s seventieth birthday is next week. The invitations were sent out last month, and we were still in the military then. Grandpa particularly asked to bring you one. You can take your second sister-in-law along to have fun."
Lin Junyang said this and took out an invitation from his pocket, handing it to Mu Xingfeng.
"Okay, I will," Mu Xingfeng accepted the invitation and placed it on the table.
He then patted An Ran’s butt: "Go and freshen up, Nanny Chen has made soup for you."
An Ran felt relieved to leave, jumping off with bare feet: "Okay."
Mu Xingfeng’s gentle gaze followed her back to the room, with a slight smile on his lips. Even Lin Junyang, who had followed him for years, had never seen Mu Xingfeng like this.
Lin Junyang sneaked a glance at his sister, seeing her look at the man absent-mindedly. It was clear how heartbroken she was, but his sister and Boss Mu had similar personalities, both cold and detached, rarely showing their inner turmoil even when deeply hurt.
They had t the people and managed the affairs they ca for; staying longer would only increase his sister’s pain. Lin Junyang stood up to say goodbye, taking Lin Ruonan away.
Not until the car had left the Yujing Garden villa area and driven a distance, did Lin Ruonan weakly lean back in her seat, with reddened eyes, as clear tears stread down her cheeks.
