Ran Xiangsi finished wiping the table, and when she looked up, she saw Chu Xiaoge staring blankly into the distance.
"Hey? What are you looking at?" As she asked, Ran Xiangsi naturally followed Chu Xiaoge’s gaze.
The first person she saw wasn’t Shang Dongyuan.
It was...
The handso man walking behind Shang Dongyuan.
He walked against the light, his steps resolute and steady.
A white shirt brighter than the sunlight, black trousers.
His left hand was in his pocket, and the sleeves of his shirt were slightly rolled up, revealing a watch on his wrist.
She couldn’t tell what brand it was, only that the silver watch reflected a multitude of colors under the sunlight, almost blinding Ran Xiangsi’s eyes.
She watched the man walk calmly, stepping on the sunlit ground, radiating brilliance.
Who else could be so strikingly handso, other than Xing Chen?
This scene was so familiar...
Back when Ran Xiangsi was being troubled by Gu Beichuan at school, Xing Chen appeared before her like a prince, saving her world.
Now... he was still that charming and free-spirited, but his eyes and heart no longer belonged to her.
Ran Xiangsi frowned, "How could he be here?"
Next to her, Chu Xiaoge, who only had eyes for Shang Dongyuan, heard Ran Xiangsi’s question and thought she was asking about Shang Dongyuan. She said, "He’s the young master of the Shang Family. The Gambling Stone City belongs to them. Of course, he would be here."
Upon hearing this, Ran Xiangsi raised her eyebrows and looked further ahead, finally seeing Shang Dongyuan.
So, this Gambling Stone City belonged to Shang Dongyuan?
Xing Chen had business ties with him, so it was quite normal for him to be here too...
After Chu Xiaoge finished speaking, she waited for a while but got no response from Ran Xiangsi. Curious, she turned her eyes and imdiately saw Xing Chen.
In an instant, she felt a bit regretful and cautiously looked back at Ran Xiangsi, "You... were you talking about him? I also didn’t know he would show up here..."
Ran Xiangsi had just ntioned she had quarreled with Xing Chen, and now, eting him here felt sowhat odd.
"Xiaoge, why don’t I leave first?" As she spoke, Ran Xiangsi put down what she was holding and turned to leave.
They had just parted on bad terms this morning. She didn’t expect to run into him again by evening.
Was this fate or misfortune?
Though they hadn’t ntioned their plans to each other, fate still brought them together.
"Don’t!" Chu Xiaoge hurriedly went up to stop Xiangsi, "He doesn’t even know you’re here... Just co upstairs with and tidy up the guest room. They are gambling downstairs, you won’t run into him."
Chu Xiaoge didn’t want to play diator, as this was their personal matter.
However, they had just made plans, it wouldn’t be right to change them suddenly.
Moreover, if she allowed Xiangsi to leave now, she might go sowhere to secretly wallow in sadness.
Ran Xiangsi thought about it and realized leaving like this would indeed be quite embarrassing.
So she nodded, "Okay. Let’s quickly tidy up here and go upstairs."
She didn’t want to et Xing Chen now... or rather, she didn’t dare to face him.
She feared that when he looked at her, his eyes would be filled with icy coldness.
She also feared he would say hurtful words, feared that he would no longer be the gentle and refined man he once was, only insisting on her departure.
