Xuanxuan was dumbfounded for a long ti, then she gave a bitter smile. After a mont of silence, she finally lifted her head and said to An Ran, "I’m sorry."
"Coffee," a cold voice rang in her ears.
Jiajia imdiately ran to the bar like a lackey, made a cup of instant coffee, and handed it to An Ran. An Ran took the steaming coffee and looked at Mu Xingfeng.
Mu Xingfeng nodded at her.
An Ran took a deep breath, walked towards Xuanxuan with the coffee, and then poured it right on her.
She wasn’t a saint who could still be kind to soone who had bullied her.
Moreover, if Mu Xingfeng hadn’t been formidable enough, they would have suffered a great loss just now.
Mu Xingfeng stood up for her, she couldn’t let him down at this mont.
Besides, Xuanxuan had been causing trouble all along. She was inherently a promiscuous woman who despised others and slandered them.
She wouldn’t apologize or lower her pride, but did she ever consider that there would co a day when her own dignity would be trampled upon? Everything she got, she deserved it.
After Xuanxuan left the coffee shop, An Ran apologized to Song Yu, "I’m sorry, Manager, for causing such a big trouble for the coffee shop and interrupting the business."
"No need to feel guilty, An Ran, this wasn’t your fault," Song Yu maintained her poised and elegant smile, then looked at Mu Xingfeng, "I’ve heard so much about you, Young Master Mu. Finally, I get to see you in person today."
"Manager Song is too kind," Mu Xingfeng said indifferently.
Song Yu had long heard of the so-called Cold-faced Yama from the Capital, so she didn’t mind Mu Xingfeng’s attitude. She turned to An Ran and said, "An Ran, you’ve been wronged today. Pack up and go ho early; I’ll give you a half-day off."
"Thank you, Manager Song," An Ran said. Although she didn’t feel she had been wronged much, especially since Mu Xingfeng had vented her anger, her uniform was dirty and she couldn’t continue working in it.
"Hurry up and pack, I’ll take you back," Mu Xingfeng said.
"Ah? No, no, I can take the bus," An Ran quickly waved her hand.
"An Ran, don’t make repeat myself. This is an order," Mu Xingfeng said coldly.
An Ran instinctively straightened her back, assuming a standard military pose, "Yes."
Then she ran off to the back hurriedly.
Watching An Ran’s retreating figure, Mu Xingfeng thought to himself: This brat, she needs a lesson.
Song Yu noticed the interaction between them and smiled aningfully, nodding at Mu Xingfeng before leaving.
Lin Ruonan, who had been standing there watching everything coldly, showed no emotion on her face, looking very much like Mu Xingfeng’s indifferent deanor.
Mu Xingfeng, while taking out his phone, said, "I’ll have Junyang co pick you up."
"No need, the coffee here is quite good. I want to sit a bit longer. You go ahead with your work," Lin Ruonan said calmly, turning back to her seat.
"Alright then," Mu Xingfeng said, striding off without so much as a goodbye.
Lin Ruonan quietly watched his figure disappear around the corner and finally took out her phone to make a call...
An Ran, carrying her backpack, walked out of the changing room and saw Mu Xingfeng standing outside. Seeing her like this, he asked disdainfully, "Why haven’t you changed your clothes? Are you okay with wearing this?"
An Ran waved her hand indifferently, "I’ll change once I get back. That way, it’ll be just one set of dirty clothes. If I change now, I’ll have two sets of dirty clothes."
Hearing this, Mu Xingfeng’s mouth twitched. This brat.
Mu Xingfeng directly drove An Ran to the dormitory building at her school. Today was the first day of break; the campus, bustling in the morning, was now nearly deserted.
"Hey—, where are you going, student?"
Just as An Ran was about to enter the dormitory, she was stopped by the dormitory supervisor.
"I’m going back to my dormitory," said An Ran.
"Back to your dormitory? Why haven’t you gone ho? The school rules are to clear out the campus by the morning; the dormitory doors are now locked."
"What?" An Ran felt as if she was struck by lightning. Why hadn’t she received this notice? What should she do now that the dormitory doors were locked? Should she stay at a hotel?
"What’s going on?"
Mu Xingfeng had intended to leave only after seeing the little girl enter the dormitory but saw her being stopped. Seeing her aggrieved look, he asked.
"The dormitory doors are locked," An Ran said gloomily, "Instructor Mu, thank you for bringing back. You can go now."
Upon hearing An Ran’s words, Mu Xingfeng’s expression darkened. The dormitory doors were locked, and she wanted him to leave first? Where would she go then? Sleep on the streets? He knew she had no relatives in Nan’an.
"Get in the car," Mu Xingfeng said, pulling her in without giving her a choice.
"Instructor Mu, I can stay at a hotel for a few days," An Ran said cautiously, seeing Mu Xingfeng’s gloomy face. She didn’t want to go back to the Guard Team’s dormitory; she still had to work.
