Xing Chen was on the phone when he saw her co out. After saying a few more sentences, he hung up the call.
With his long fingers, he put the phone back into the pocket of his suit pants. He glanced at the back of her head, "All done?"
"Yes!" Ran Xiangsi nodded, then mischievously moved closer to him. "The doctor said my wound was bandaged last night, but I didn’t do it..."
She pretended to be clueless, speaking while constantly observing his expression.
Xing Chen, recalling what happened last night, coughed dryly, stepped aside, and began to walk downstairs with his long legs.
He didn’t say anything, but she got the gist and quickly followed, "Did you change my bandage? The doctor said your technique was pretty good and it’s not infected thanks to frequent bandaging!"
She actually wanted to thank him. Knowing what he did last night made her feel quite touched inside.
But he just wouldn’t admit it.
They walked out of the hospital one after the other.
Once in the car, Ran Xiangsi chattered non-stop.
"Since you helped change the bandage last night, I’ll treat you to a al, okay?" She fastened her seatbelt and turned to look at Xing Chen.
Xing Chen frowned, started the car, and drove off smoothly. He couldn’t help but find Ran Xiangsi’s behavior today rather strange.
Usually, she was either silent or confrontational. But today... why was she suddenly so clingy?
Seeing his silence, Ran Xiangsi continued, "Okay, honestly, I’m just hungry. You dragged away from the Lou Family this morning before I even had a sip of water. Then I went straight to the company. After that, I ca to the hospital. Oh right, the doctor also said I must eat well, otherwise my wound won’t heal quickly!"
To be honest, the doctor never said that—she made it up.
Hearing this, Xing Chen finally glanced at her, his eyes still tinged with doubt.
She had laid it out so clearly, but he was still as unresponsive as a block of wood. Ran Xiangsi felt a bit frustrated. "Fine, if you want, I’ll agree not to eat Hunan cuisine. You can choose whatever you want. How about it? I’m starving here..."
Talking about that night when they ate Hunan cuisine, Xing Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
His deep laughter filled the small car.
Ran Xiangsi laughed along with him, knowing he was interested. She coaxed him affectionately, "Let’s go, let’s go, hmm?"
Even the usually stoic Xing Chen couldn’t resist her charm. He nodded, "We’ll have Western food."
Hearing him finally speak, Ran Xiangsi instantly brightened up, "Great, let’s have Western food!"
They chatted happily, the atmosphere becoming much warr.
Occasionally being a bit playful isn’t a bad thing.
The car wandered around the Second Ring area and finally went to a well-known Western restaurant.
It seed quite upscale.
Ran Xiangsi followed Xing Chen, looking around in awe.
"Such a posh place, it must be expensive..." she muttered, glaring at Xing Chen’s back. "Hearing that I’d treat, he actually brought to such an upscale restaurant! Clearly trying to milk dry!"
Just as she finished speaking, she heard the voices of Ran Zhonghai’s family nearby.
"Young Master Gu, please co this way. The Wagyu and Italian baked lobster here are quite excellent!"
"That’s right, Young Master Gu, my dad specially reserved this restaurant for you!"
Ran Xiangsi turned and saw Ran Zhonghai’s family, along with Gu Beichuan.
What a small world.
