Chapter 41: Acting
“Who called you?”
Bai Ran had just hung up and turned to leave when a cold voice came from above.
Shocked, Bai Ran’s body suddenly trembled as she said unhappily, “Did you eavesdrop on my conversation?”
Before Chen Chen could answer, Bai Ran glared at him and left hurriedly.
At this moment, her mind was filled with matters on the phone. How could she care about this person who was going to abandon her?!!
Chen Chen hurriedly chased after her. Bai Ran turned around and said coldly, “I don’t need you to interfere in my matters. If you’re really that free, then come with me to get a divorce. There’s nothing else to say.”
With that, Bai Ran gestured at the door.
Every word was about divorce!
Chen Chen’s curiosity instantly dissipated.
After sending Chen Chen off, Bai Ran finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She walked to the sofa. The torn band-aid was still on the coffee table.
Bai Ran’s mind subconsciously thought of the wound, the box, and the kiss.
If not for that phone call…
Oh god, she did not dare to think about it anymore!
She could not fall into the illusion of Chen Chen’s gentleness again!
Her life was not only about Chen Chen. She had more things to do!
Since Chen Chen asked her to find a good guy before getting a divorce, then she…
Bai Ran made a decision secretly.
Early the next morning, Bai Ran arrived at the company. When Jiang Yun saw her, he greeted her politely.
“Good morning. Did you not rest well last night?” Jiang Yun looked at the dark circles under Bai Ran’s eyes and sounded a little pained.
“There have been a lot of things going on recently. I’m a little insomniac,” Bai Ran explained with a faint smile.
“It’s because of Chen Chen, right? Does he want a divorce or not?” Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment before saying.
Bai Ran said expressionlessly, “Yes. No matter what he thinks, I want to get a divorce. I want to live my life quietly.”
“Then is there anything I can help you with?” Jiang Yun took a step forward as he spoke. He might be the one who wanted them to get a divorce the most.
“This…” Bai Ran hesitated, not knowing if she should say it. Saying it seemed to be using Jiang Yun. If she did not say it, she would not be able to find anyone more suitable.
“Tell me, as long as I can help you.” Anxiety flashed across Jiang Yun’s eyes. “Even if you lie that I’m your boyfriend like before and force him to give in.”
“You’re right.” Bai Ran smiled in embarrassment. “Previously, I only said it verbally, and no one believed me. But this time, I do want to formally ask you for help.”
“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t disturb your private life. You just have to act with me occasionally. After everything is done, I’ll treat you to a meal. Or if you need my help with anything, I won’t hesitate to help!” Bai Ran patted her chest and promised.
Acting… Jiang Yun’s eyes instantly darkened.
However, on second thought, this was killing two birds with one stone. Firstly, it would help her regain her bachelorhood, and secondly, it would give him more chances to get close to her.
Jiang Yun quickly agreed and smiled. “It’s okay. I won’t misunderstand. I’ll just treat it as a favor between colleagues.”
On the other end, Chen Chen was sitting in his office when his assistant knocked on the door and walked in.
“How’s the situation?” Chen Chen looked up and asked.
“President Chen, you guessed correctly. The hospital’s corridor surveillance cameras captured the scene of Miss Hu Wan stealing a bottle of medicine from the dispensary room. Although we can’t see what it is, it’s not far from the truth. Furthermore, Miss Hu Wan has indeed been harassing Miss Bai Ran all the time recently. She even got someone to follow her. Therefore, regardless of whether she lives outside or at home, Miss Hu Wan will always come looking for her.”
“She’s actually so impatient?” Chen Chen’s fingers tapped the table gently, his eyes filled with coldness.
After finishing a day’s work, Bai Ran walked out of the door and saw that Jiang Yun was already waiting for her.
“Look, I’m good at acting, right?” Jiang Yun said as he opened the car door.
Bai Ran looked at the enthusiastic Jiang Yun and frowned. She suddenly wondered if she shouldn’t have done this in the morning.
Looking at Bai Ran’s expression, Jiang Yun had no choice but to walk up to her and say seriously, “Don’t worry. I really won’t misunderstand or force you. But before you get a divorce, let me do my part on the surface.”
“Alright then.” Bai Ran thought about it and got into the car.
Unexpectedly, just as she closed the car door, someone suddenly slapped the car window ruthlessly.
Jiang Yun rolled down the car window and saw Chen Chen’s head sticking out.
Bai Ran gasped. Was she unable to get rid of Chen Chen?
“May I ask what’s the matter, Mr. Chen?” Jiang Yun was not surprised by Chen Chen’s appearance at all. He only slanted his eyes and looked provocative.
He knew that he could not compare to Chen Chen, but he could not lose in terms of aura either!
Especially since he now had an official title!
However, he seemed to have forgotten that the person opposite him was more official than he was…
