“What about you?” Chen Chen looked up and asked.
“I’ll go back to my original plan. Thank you for the porridge today. I’m already much better,” Bai Ran said as she picked up the chopsticks and walked to the kitchen.
“No, how are you going to clean up there? You won’t be able to sleep tonight.” Chen Chen stood up as well.
“I’m really fine. Just hurry up and look for Sister Wan,” Bai Ran said without turning back.!!
“Can you not keep asking me to look for Hu Wan?!” Chen Chen’s voice suddenly raised a few octaves.
“Ah, but Sister Hu Wan is waiting for you!” Bai Ran was a little puzzled.
“It’s okay. Anyway, I’m not leaving today!” Chen Chen sat down.
“Even if you don’t leave, I will.”
“You still want to go back?”
“Yes!”
“Why must you go back?! Look outside! Grandpa’s people are still there! Do you really want me to make things difficult for me?”
“Oh, that’s not what I meant,” Bai Ran said quickly as she washed the dishes.
However, she did not know how to explain. She really did not dare to stay any longer.
She was afraid that she would continue to fantasize. She was afraid that she would continue to be greedy for the gentleness she had today. She was afraid that she would want to stay here forever.
“You don’t have to say anything else. If you want to see Grandpa settle scores with me, then leave.” Chen Chen’s voice turned cold.
“Okay, I’m not leaving.” Bai Ran could only agree meekly.
Hearing the affirmative answer, Chen Chen’s face relaxed.
Chen Chen said, “Yes. When you were sleeping earlier, I had already taken your things up. After a shower, go upstairs and have a good sleep. I’ll bring you over tomorrow.”
“Oh, okay.” Bai Ran nodded. Then, as if she had thought of something, she said, “But is it really okay if you don’t go to Sister Wan?”
“Why do you keep asking me to go over?” When Chen Chen heard the name Hu Wan, he suddenly felt a little vexed. “Are you that concerned about her feelings?”
“I’m not concerned about her feelings. I’m concerned about you. I don’t want you to go either.” Bai Ran pouted slightly and complained in her heart.
“Take care of yourself when you have the time. Eat and wear your clothes properly. Look, how long has it been since you bought your clothes? Don’t think about anything. You don’t have to worry about her matters,” Chen Chen replied.
“You don’t have to worry about me either. Why do you care what I wear…” Bai Ran retorted softly.
“You can speak louder.” Chen Chen pursed his lips. “What’s our relationship? If I don’t care, who will?”
“We’re not related.” Bai Ran really raised her voice.
“Say that again.”
“We’re not related,” Bai Ran repeated, but she was clearly short of breath.
“You… We’re still husband and wife!” Chen Chen replied heavily.
“How can you be like this?! You were the one who gave me the divorce agreement! Why are you saying such things now?!” Bai Ran was also anxious as she shouted.
It was always like this. He was clearly in a hurry to marry another woman, but he would always emphasize to her that they were still husband and wife.
However, Bai Ran was too good-tempered. She shouted angrily, but she did not look angry at all.
“Pfft!” Chen Chen suddenly laughed at Bai Ran’s behavior.
“You’re still laughing at me!” Bai Ran pouted.
“No, no. I’ll go massage you to apologize!” Chen Chen suddenly became interested.
“Are you serious?” Bai Ran’s eyes widened.
“Really?” Chen Chen said as he walked behind Bai Ran and sat her down on the sofa. “Try it.”
“You even know how to do this?” Bai Ran was a little surprised. She did not know how many more surprises this man had.
Chen Chen placed his hands on Bai Ran’s shoulders. His movements were skilled and just right.
Bai Ran closed her eyes in enjoyment and suddenly said, “You usually massage Sister Wan like this, right?”
Chen Chen’s hand instantly stopped.
Bai Ran knew that she had said something wrong and quickly shut her mouth.
She just could not help but compare herself with Hu Wan. Chen Chen had given all his gentleness to Hu Wan, and she really did not feel good about it.
“She’s a patient. She rarely gets tired. Why would she need a massage?” Chen Chen’s hand moved again as he explained.
Bai Ran did not dare to reply. The two of them enjoyed the rare harmonious times.
As he pressed down, Chen Chen suddenly realized that from his high vantage point, Bai Ran’s collar…
Chen Chen smiled and said, “I suddenly realized that you’re not entirely a bean sprout.”
“Huh? Bean sprout?” Bai Ran closed her eyes and asked in confusion.
Wait, wasn’t this about her figure? So this was…
Bai Ran jumped up and covered her collar.
“Chen Chen! You…” Bai Ran’s face turned red as she shouted his name.
“What about me? As your husband, can’t I look at it?” Chen Chen raised his head and did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
