In the afternoon, after Mu Xingfeng returned to the Guard Team, An Ran strolled to the coffee shop entrance. Seeing that there weren’t many custors inside, she pushed the door open and walked in.
Barista Jiajia saw her imdiately and waved a hand at her.
"Hey beauty, how co you have ti to hang out here today? How’s it going recently? I heard you found yourself an ultra-handso boyfriend?"
Jiajia winked at her as soon as she saw her.
The last ti An Youcai scheduled a eting with An Ran at the coffee shop, Jiajia was at the bar, so she saw everything, including Mu Xingfeng’s appearance later on.
An Ran smiled without saying anything, pointed to an empty seat nearby, "I’ll sit over there for a bit. Get an Espresso, and join when you’re not busy."
"Espresso? Feeling heartbroken?" Jiajia exclaid.
"Go away! You’re the one who’s heartbroken. I just wanted to try the taste of Espresso." An Ran rolled her eyes at Jiajia and went to sit down.
She indeed wanted to try the taste of Espresso, knowing it’s the bitterest of coffees, but she had never tried it before.
She rembered using Espresso to play a trick on Mu Xingfeng last ti, and now thinking about it, felt a sweetness in her heart.
Before long, Jiajia brought an Espresso over herself and placed it in front of An Ran.
With a rich aroma, it slled bitter yet had a clear coffee fragrance. An Ran picked it up and took a small sip, only to feel the bitterness quickly overtaking her taste buds, making her frown involuntarily.
Jiajia smiled and handed over the ice water, "Are you trying to recall the sweet from the bitter? Not everyone can adapt to the taste of Espresso."
An Ran took the ice water, rinsed her mouth twice before she could speak, "No, back when I worked here, I used this to prank soone. Suddenly had a guilty conscience and wanted to know how Espresso tastes."
Jiajia raised an eyebrow, "Anyone who can drink Espresso naturally even when being pranked by you must truly love you. How about your guy?"
Looking at An Ran’s expression, she already knew who she was talking about.
An Ran felt a bit embarrassed from her question but nodded. They chatted for a while until more custors ca in, and Jiajia went back to work. An Ran picked up sugar packets, adding them one by one into the coffee, tasting a bit each ti, reminiscing about the taste when Mu Xingfeng drank the Espresso back then.
"Long ti no see," A graceful and lazy voice sounded. Song Yu sat opposite her.
An Ran quickly stood up, "Manager Song."
Song Yu waved her hand, "You’re not my employee now, you’re my custor, and custors are my gods. Sit down, I hope I’m not disturbing you?"
"Not at all, I just had nothing to do and thought I’d co here and sit for a bit," An Ran sat back down.
Song Yu looked at An Ran. It had been three to four months since she last saw her. The girl seed to have gained a bit of weight and looked healthier, suggesting that man took good care of her.
Seeing the girl’s features again, indeed made her see a shadow of that person.
Back then, she only felt that this girl looked sowhat familiar, but never thought further. Unexpectedly, the person she had been looking for over a decade had been by her side all this ti.
An Ran felt uneasy under Song Yu’s gaze. It felt similar to how Old Mr. Shen used to look at her, seemingly looking through her to see another person.
"Manager Song," An Ran called timidly.
Song Yu realized her rudeness and chuckled lightly, "It’s nothing. I heard you’re getting engaged?"
"Huh?"
Hardly anyone knew about her relationship with Mu Xingfeng, let alone the engagent. Other than Xiao Xiao, she hadn’t ntioned it to anyone else. How did Manager Song find out?
