full-time lovers

Chapter 38

Lu Ran buried his head in laughter.

"Will you go?" Ji Zebei asked.

She suppressed her smile, raised her head and said solemnly: "Go."

After dinner, Lu Ran hurried home to change clothes, and went out with Ji Zebei, of course she had to dress up beautifully.

Ten minutes later, the two gathered in the elevator.

Taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, after getting out of the elevator, Lu Ran followed Ji Zebei into the car, his eyes were full of affection, staring straight at the man in the driver's seat.

He was wearing a black coat and had a cool demeanor.

"Put on your seat belt, don't look at me, I don't have a seat belt on my face." The man said calmly.

Lu Ran smiled awkwardly, looked away and fastened his seat belt.

The car drove out of the parking lot smoothly.

Along the way, Lu Ran's heart was pounding like a deer, and he couldn't help stealing glances at the man.

The man has deep brows and wide eyes, a high nose bridge, and a really good-looking profile.

"What are you looking at me for?" The man glanced sideways at her.

She smiled, "You look good."

"..."

When they arrived at the shopping mall, Ji Zebei drove the car directly into the underground parking lot, and then the two of them took the elevator upstairs and went directly to the home appliance area.

"I bought it now, when will I deliver it?" Lu Ran asked the man beside him, wondering when he would be free.

Ji Zebei looked down at her, "It's best in the afternoon."

"it is good."

The two first went to the home appliance area. They chose some high-end and reliable brands of home appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, TV sets, and water dispensers, and bought them all in one go. The installation time was set at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Ran left the address of Ye Zhian's apartment, and then dragged Ji Zebei to the residential area.

The apartment is well-decorated, and the furniture and appliances are ready, and the remaining small items can be filled slowly.

Lu Ran is an idler, and she has a lot of time to spend on one food article a week.

In order to spare a little time and not be too busy, the delivery time of the furniture is set at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After finishing the big one, Lu Ran excitedly dragged Ji Zebei to the daily necessities area.

"Are you tired?" The man looked at her in surprise.

She chuckled: "Not tired, just a little thirsty."

"I'm going to buy water."

She nodded, pointed to the daily necessities area and said, "I'll go there to look at the tableware."

"Ah."

The two separate.

Lu Ran was picking carefully in a fine tableware store. Based on his understanding of Ye Zhian, he might not mind other things being casual, but as a chef, he must be very particular about pots and pans.

"I've taken a fancy to a set of tableware. It's very beautiful." A delicate woman's voice filled Lu Ran's ears.

She looked around, and saw a tall, pretty woman walking in holding the arm of a tall man. The man was looking around, looking at the tableware samples on the shelf.

Seeing the man's appearance clearly, Lu Ran's heart skipped a beat.

It was Cheng Yuan!
Although she didn't know the woman next to him, she had seen her before. She was a little girl from the company's personnel department.

Good guy!
After failing to make an appointment with her, Cheng Yuan immediately changed his target and asked someone else.

She turned her back, lowered her head, her heart beating like a drum.

Cheng Yuan must not let her see her, she should still be trapped on the mountain at this moment, if she is found out, the lie will be irresistible.

"It's that set." The woman pointed out her hand in surprise.

Lu Ran panicked even more, the woman was pointing in her direction.

She took a few steps forward quickly, raised the collar of her coat, shrank her neck, buried her head deeply, wishing she could plunge her head into her stomach.

"Miss, do you need a recommendation?" A salesperson walked up to her, just blocking her way.

I guess it was because she spent a long time picking out the right ones and came to sell them.

She waved her hand, buried her head, trying to find a chance to slip out of the store.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Cheng Yuan and the woman approaching her. She walked around the salesperson in front of her and walked to the other side. Cheng Yuan and the woman didn't look at her, and their attention was always on the tableware.

She quickened her pace, and when she was about to walk out of the store, by coincidence, Ji Zebei came.

Holding two cups of take-away coffee, he met her guilty eyes as soon as he entered the door, and his brows frowned.

Looking at the tableware, can you still see it as a thief?

It's not that I don't have any money with me, it's not very chic when I swiped the card just now.

Lu Ran kept waving his hands at him, signaling him not to come over.

He didn't care, and went straight to her, "Aren't you thirsty?"

He handed her the coffee, but she didn't take it, her head buried lower and lower.

"What's wrong, uncomfortable?"

She nodded heavily.

"Where does it hurt?"

Her voice was very low, humming like a mosquito, "I feel uncomfortable all over, let's go."

She tugged at his arm, eager to go out, but accidentally spilled a cup of coffee in his hand. The coffee splashed onto the man's hand, scalding his brows tightly, and secretly gritted his teeth.

"What's the matter?" The man's tone was a little serious.

He didn't see that Lu Ran was uncomfortable, but felt that she seemed to be hiding from someone.

Noticing her sneaking glances at the other two guests, he instantly understood.

"Hide from men or hide from women?"

Lu Ran was about to die of anxiety. Seeing Cheng Yuan and the woman getting closer to her, he whispered: "Man."

"Is he your ex, or..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ran became impatient, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "The ex is a fart, that's my boss, I can't let him see me." His voice was very low , lest others overhear.

The discerning salesperson saw a little coffee spilled out of Ji Zebei's hand, and smiled and handed over a tissue.

Ji Zebei stuffed the empty cup of coffee into Lu Ran's hand, took a tissue, and wiped the coffee stains on the back of his hand.

Lu Ran held the paper coffee cup in both hands, his head still buried deep.

Ji Zebei looked sideways at Cheng Yuan. The other party seemed to feel that someone was watching him, and suddenly raised his head. Without hesitation, Ji Zebei resolutely stood beside Lu Ran and blocked her with his body.

Cheng Yuan glanced at him indifferently and looked away.

He raised his arm and hugged Lu Ran's shoulder tightly, "Go."

With a heart hanging in his throat, Lu Ran followed Ji Zebei's footsteps and walked forward. He didn't panic at all, and walked at a leisurely pace.

Fortunately, after leaving this store, Cheng Yuan didn't even look up at them.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to thank Ji Zebei when she suddenly saw Cheng Yuan and the woman come out.

She looked around, seeing nowhere to hide, she simply plunged into Ji Zebei's arms, burying her whole face in his chest.

The man's laughing voice came from the top of his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "There are so many tricks." He changed his ways from time to time to take advantage of him.

Lu Ran: ...

"Do you think it's too expensive? I don't think it's expensive. You can buy it for me." The delicate female voice came into Lu Ran's ears, followed by Cheng Yuan's perfunctory voice, "It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not. That tableware is ugly and tasteless."

"Really?" The woman's voice was not so high, and she was a little disappointed.

"Let's go to another store to have a look. We still have to choose stylish tableware."

"Then will you buy it for me?"

"Of course you can buy something with style."

The voices of the two gradually faded away.

Lu Ran raised his head and took a deep breath. He had been holding his breath just now, and almost suffocated himself to death.
