"Mmm." Chen Ran opened the lid, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, immediately feeling extremely comfortable all over.

"How was it?" Lin Ruoxi asked expectantly.

"Mm." Chen Ran nodded.

"Hehe." Lin Ruoxi smiled brightly: "You drink, I'll sing."

Chen Ran nodded.

He poured two glasses of wine, handing one to Lin Ruoxi.

“I can’t sing.”

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

"Alright then." Lin Ruoxi nodded, parted her lips slightly, and began to sing.

"Your smile is the only beauty in the world. Your laughter is the most beautiful melody in the world."

"Your love is like the summer sun, warming people's hearts."

"Your eyes are the purest gems in the world, making me unable to resist falling into them."

"Your nose is high, straight, and strong, making people want to get closer."

"Your lips are the color of rose petals, and I can't resist them."

……

After Lin Ruoxi finished singing, Chen Ran also closed his phone.

"Does it sound good?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

"It sounds beautiful." Chen Ran nodded, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Ruoxi.

A blush crept onto Lin Ruoxi's pretty face, and her eyes sparkled with starlight.

“Do you know?” she whispered, pursing her lips, “The moment I saw you, I felt that all the hustle and bustle of the world couldn’t compare to your smile.”

Chen Ran was taken aback, then gently took her hand.

Lin Ruoxi's palms were sweaty; she was a little nervous.

Chen Ran gently comforted him, "Don't be nervous, take your time, I'll wait for you."

Lin Ruoxi's eyes welled up with tears, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms.

"Waaah... Chen Ran..." she cried, calling out his name.

Chen Ran held her close, gently patting her back, letting her vent her sorrow.

"Waaah... I'm sorry..." After a long while, Lin Ruoxi finally stopped crying and sobbed against his chest.

"Silly girl, there's nothing to apologize for." Chen Ran stroked her long hair and said gently, "There's no conflict between us at all, you don't need to apologize to me."

“But I…” Lin Ruoxi bit her lip.

“You are a good girl,” Chen Ran said gently. “You should live happily, instead of trapping yourself in hatred.”

"Yes, thank you, Chen Ran." Lin Ruoxi looked up at Chen Ran, her eyes filled with tears and joy.

"You're welcome." Chen Ran smiled faintly. "Since everything is alright, go home and rest."

"Mmm." Lin Ruoxi nodded.

After seeing her off, Chen Ran returned to his office and continued working.

He didn't finish his workday until nightfall, and he closed his eyes wearily.

He wanted to sleep, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"Chen Ran, do you have plans tonight?" He was just thinking when the phone rang abruptly.

It's Lin Ruoxi.

He hesitated for a moment, then replied, "No."

"Great! A friend of mine is having a party tonight, let's go have some fun!" Lin Ruoxi said excitedly.

Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow."

"Why? Tomorrow is the weekend." Lin Ruoxi asked, puzzled.

"I have something to do tomorrow, I'll go another day," Chen Ran lied.

"Alright then, but I'm definitely going to drag you over tomorrow."

"Okay," Chen Ran replied.

After hanging up the phone, he thought of Qin Chuyu again.

She called him last night, but he was too tired to answer.

He dialed the number, and was about to tell Qin Chuyu that he was alright when the call was disconnected.

He frowned, wondering why Qin Chuyu had suddenly changed her mind.

The next morning, Qin Chuyu still hadn't contacted Chen Ran, so he gave up looking for her.

Since she didn't want to contact him, he wouldn't look for her.

He didn't think the matter was that serious, and believed that Qin Chuyu would figure it out.

Moreover, he had a premonition that she had disappeared since he rejected her last night.

"Sigh." He sighed and decided to seek revenge on Lin Wenyuan first, and then head south.

For the next three or four days, Chen stayed in his office and did not go out.

While studying, he also pondered how to deal with the Lin Group.

Over the past few days, he had also looked into Li Yunfeng's background. He was surprised to find that this man was indeed very capable in the business world and a ruthless character.

He figured that if he rashly went to the Li Group to cause trouble, he probably wouldn't get any benefits.

However, he wasn't afraid. After all, he had his own trump cards.

"Chen Ran, lunch is ready." That afternoon, as Chen Ran was about to leave work, Su Qianxi knocked on his office door.

Chen Ran packed his things and left the office, asking, "Where are we going to eat?"

"The cafeteria," Su Qianxi said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Ran nodded, walked to the elevator, and pressed the button.

The two stood by the elevator, neither of them speaking first.

Suddenly, Chen Ran asked, "Do you know about the Lin Group?"

"I know them," Su Qianxi nodded, then asked in surprise, "Why did you bring them up?"

"It's nothing," Chen Ran shook his head, not elaborating.

"Oh..." Su Qianxi didn't pay any attention, assuming that Chen Ran wanted to kill Lin Wenfeng.

The elevator doors opened, and Chen Ran and Su Qianxi stepped into the elevator.

As they walked towards the lobby on the first floor, passing by the food and beverage section, Su Qianxi pointed and said, "That 'Royal Cuisine' restaurant is pretty good, I'll treat you to it!"

The Imperial Cuisine Restaurant is a property under the Su Group, and Su Qianxi often comes here to eat.

“Okay, I’ll go try it,” Chen Ran readily agreed.

The two walked towards the imperial restaurant. Su Qianxi suddenly turned to look at Chen Ran and said seriously, "Chen Ran, thank you. If you have any trouble, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Mm." Chen Ran nodded and said no more.

The two arrived at the main hall of the 'Royal Cuisine' restaurant.

"What would you two like to eat?" A voluptuous woman asked with a smile inside the shop.

"One order of braised pork ribs, and another plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers," Su Qianxi said with practiced ease.

The waitress paused for a moment, then smiled.

"It's a piece of cake, just a moment, it'll be ready soon," she said with a smile, and left the busy work behind.

Su Qianxi pulled Chen Ran to a table and sat down, waiting quietly.

Chen Ran looked around. The shop was luxuriously decorated and had a strong ancient style.

“I used to come here to eat all the time,” Su Qianxi said.

"Mm." Chen Ran nodded.

"Why do you remember so clearly?" Su Qianxi rolled her eyes.

"The food here is indeed quite good," Chen Ran said with a faint smile.

"You're still so hypocritical," Su Qianxi pouted.
