“I won’t dance…” Wu Ling struggled.
"Have you forgotten?" Chen Ran patted her shoulder and calmly said, "You promised me last night, you can't go back on your word..."
"Then you'll have to teach me," Wu Ling said anxiously, a sense of panic welling up inside her. After all, Chen Ran had changed so much recently that she wasn't sure if he could learn her dance well.
"Don't worry," Chen Ran said confidently.
Then, he led Wu Ling into the crowd.
A melodious tune filled the entire venue.
Wu Haoran and several elders were all smiling.
Some of the guests also applauded.
"This kid is quite modest," Wu Haoran thought to himself.
As for Wu Feifei and some of the younger generation, their expressions were strange.
"Xiaoling, what kind of bastard did you find?" A wealthy woman scoffed, making no attempt to hide her contempt.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense, she's very capable," Wu Ling explained softly.
"No way, I think it's just a publicity stunt," the wealthy woman said, pursing her lips.
At this moment, Chen Ran stopped, his 2.5-inch eyes clear, and said with a faint smile, "Everyone, this is Xiaoling's first time attending such a grand banquet, and I hope you can all take care of her."
Everyone was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"Hey, what the heck is this?"
"Young man, this is not the place for you to show off your monkey skills. Get lost."
"Grandpa Wu, did your granddaughter marry a mentally challenged man?"
Everyone made sarcastic remarks, not hiding their mockery at all.
Chen Ran frowned.

"Chen Ran, you should go back to your room and rest." Wu Haoran's expression was also grim.
"Okay." Chen Ran nodded, too lazy to argue, and went straight back into the house.
"Haha, I thought he was a real man, but he's just a pretty face." Everyone laughed, looking at Chen Ran with extreme contempt.
"Dad, Chen Ran is so stupid," Wu Feifei said gleefully.
Wu Haoran sighed helplessly and remained silent.
This matter may be shameful for the Wu family, but it is something that Wu Haoran is willing to admit.
Therefore, as he looked at Chen Ran's back, he felt a sense of familiarity.
He couldn't remember, but he believed this inexplicable feeling he had.
05 He felt that Chen Ran was not simple.
"Sigh," he sighed.
……
night.
The moonlight, like water, spilled into the courtyard.
"Chen Ran, are you...aren't you angry with me?" Wu Ling whispered, looking at Chen Ran.
"Why are you angry?" Chen Ran raised an eyebrow and asked.
“You ignored me last night…” Wu Ling bit her lip.
"You ignored me too."
“I…” Wu Ling was too shy to speak.
"Hehe, alright, don't worry. I'll help you cure your father," Chen Ran patted her shoulder and said softly.
"Mmm." Wu Ling nodded obediently.
Chen Ran glanced at her and noticed that although she was still shy, she was much more lively than before.
He couldn't help laughing.
“What…what are you laughing at…” Wu Ling noticed Chen Ran’s gaze.
"I'm glad you've become more cheerful," Chen Ran chuckled.
"I..." Wu Ling hesitated, then suddenly threw herself into Chen Ran's arms.
"I like you, please don't hate me," she sobbed.
She burst into tears again.
Chen Ran held her in silence.
"I won't make you angry anymore," Wu Ling said, choking back tears after a long silence.
"Silly girl, how could I hate you?" Chen Ran said softly, stroking Wu Ling's hair.
"Thank you." Wu Ling looked up, her eyes red-rimmed.
"My name is Chen Ran," Chen Ran said with a smile.
"Wu Ling".
The two introduced themselves to each other.
Chen Ran looked at Wu Ling, a multitude of thoughts flashing through his mind.
"If you need anything, just let me know." Chen Ran chuckled, left a note, and departed.
Wu Ling stared blankly at the note, then blushed, her face filled with intense sweetness and excitement.
Chen Ran walked out of the small garden, his eyes gleaming with a brilliant light.
"Wu Feifei, since you want to play, I'll play with you!"
He murmured to himself and walked in the other direction.
Soon, a quiet and elegant residence came into Chen Ran's view.
The courtyard was brightly lit at that moment.
From within came melodious piano music and joyful shouts.
"Chen Ran, I'm here!"
Chen Ran paused slightly, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
"This girl still loves to play."
Chen Ran sighed softly, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Upon entering, a delicate, fair-skinned body came into view.
She wore a long black dress (610), which accentuated her shapely and graceful figure.
Her black hair cascaded down to her knees.
Her skin was so smooth and delicate, it radiated an alluring glow.
She sat at the stone table, her slender, soft fingers plucking the strings of a guqin, playing intently.
She was stunningly beautiful, like a dream.
This woman was none other than Lin Ruoyu!
The girl next door has transformed into a stunningly beautiful and alluring woman.
Chen Ran was taken aback.
"Who are you?" Lin Ruoyu was also taken aback, stopped what she was doing, and looked at Chen Ran with a puzzled look in her eyes.
"Chen Ran." Chen Ran chuckled and walked towards Lin Ruoyu.
"Chen Ran?" Lin Ruoyu frowned slightly, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

But soon, she remembered...
She vaguely remembered that Chen Ran had called her years ago.
"So it was you." She snorted softly, with a hint of arrogance.
Chen Ran smiled; this woman was truly as unchanging as ever.
He sat down next to Lin Ruoyu and said softly, "I came here today to invite you to be my personal bodyguard."
"What do you mean?" Lin Ruoyu frowned.
"Protect my safety," Chen Ran said calmly.
