64: Chapter 64: Qin Sanzhen’s Warmth (2)_1
Qin Mu adopted a humorous guise, and Jian Ran’s eyes dimmed as she faced him, always able to come clean about everything.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Ran forced a smile on her lips.
“It’s a long story, Qin Mu, I ran into him…”
As she spoke, Jian Ran looked up at Qin Mu in front of her, whose handsome face froze for a moment, stiffening.
Without any hints, Qin Mu knew she was talking about Han Siming.
“It was just like a cheesy soap opera scene.
I walked out of the restroom without looking and bumped right into him…
at Totem…
But I didn’t say hello, just walked away.”
At this, Jian Ran smiled indifferently, not wanting to think about why Han Siming chased after her when she was passionately kissing Gu Mochen.
Was he looking for her?
Qin Mu: “…”
Qin Mu, looking like a child whose candy had been stolen, suddenly stretched out his hand and embraced Jian Ran tightly.
“Ran Girl, do you still love him?”
Fear…
After all, having grown up as childhood sweethearts who confessed their feelings to each other, Jian Ran chose Han Siming over himself.
In front of Jian Ran, Qin Mu had no confidence at all.
“I don’t know…
Now, maybe I’m not suited to talk about love anymore, being a mother and married…
It’s best if we just remain the most familiar strangers, which is nice.
It’s just that one can’t help feeling nostalgic about the past.”
Love lost to reality, like being slapped hard in the face…
It hurt, but after healing, she could be the indestructible cockroach again.
She was past the age of being desperate for love.
“Right, even though things change, I have always been here,” he said.
Relieved by Jian Ran’s words, Qin Mu held her even tighter.
Jian Ran let Qin Mu hold her, and after a long while he slowly let go, gazing at the delicate and beautiful woman in front of him, her red lips inviting.
Suddenly, he reached out and held the back of her head.
Realizing what the man intended to do, Jian Ran didn’t struggle.
Instead, her beautiful eyes gazed quietly at the man before her.
Their eyes met in mid-air, his thin lips drawing nearer.
Just as they were about to touch, Qin Mu halted in place.
Jian Ran trusted him so much…
He really couldn’t be a beast.
Qin Mu’s lips moved up to press a kiss to Jian Ran’s forehead.
“Goodnight,” he whispered.
Jian Ran’s eyes softened.
Qin Mu…
so warm.
“Shit, I’m such a coward, Jian Ran, next time I’ll definitely take care of you,” he swore to himself.
Watching him revert to his usual devil-may-care demeanor, Jian Ran couldn’t help but burst into laughter, yet tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Not wanting Qin Mu to see her like this, Jian Ran pushed the man out of the bedroom.
“That’s enough.
Get out and goodnight…
I won’t walk you out, just close the door behind you.”
“Sure, and don’t you tell anyone how cowardly I’ve been…
damn it, to have lust but no guts…”
“Understood.”
…
The next day, when Jian Ran woke up, she received two breaking news updates from Yuncheng City.
The first was about the CEO of Guohao, Cui Mu, being arrested for corruption and bribery, with Guohao virtually vanishing from Yuncheng overnight.
Gu Mochen was inscrutable and ruthless in his actions, causing Jian Ran to feel a shiver of fear.
The other piece was a news interview with the scholarly prodigy and business elite, Han Siming.
Jian Ran: “…”
