My buildings have attributes

"Okay, I understand. You guys get back to work," Chen Ling quickly replied.

"You came to us today for no particular reason, right?" Chen Xiaoqi asked, still somewhat uneasy.

"What else could I possibly want? I just wanted to have dinner with you guys. It's okay, you guys go ahead and do your thing, I'll hang up now," Chen Ling quickly said.

Chen Xiaoqi then said a couple more words and hung up the phone...

"What's wrong?" Li Ran, who was standing next to Chen Xiaoqi, asked hurriedly after seeing Chen Xiaoqi hang up the phone.

"It's nothing, my brother just called to ask if we were free today and was thinking of having dinner together," Chen Xiaoqi said, looking at Li Ran beside her.

“There’s no time at noon today, why don’t you ask him if it’s okay tonight?” Li Ran said from the side.

"Anyway, he doesn't have anything to do, so let's skip it tonight. My parents told us to go home early after we're done with our work today," Chen Xiaoqi quickly said after hearing what Li Ran said.

Chapter 440 Alone? 2

After hearing what Chen Xiaoqi said, Li Ran turned to look at Chen Xiaoqi's expression, then turned her head away again. She then opened her mouth, preparing to say something to Chen Xiaoqi.

"Are you unhappy?" Li Ran asked.

"Why would you ask me that?" Chen Xiaoqi asked in surprise after hearing this.

"That's fine. I was just worried about your mood," Li Ran continued.

“No, that won’t happen,” Chen Xiaoqi continued.

However, at this moment, Li Ran continued, "That's good. Are you sleepy? Do you want to rest for a while?"

“If I go to sleep, you won’t be all alone. I’d like to talk to you for a bit,” Chen Xiaoqi quickly said.

"Okay." Li Ran nodded with a smile.

The two of them then chatted back and forth, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Mr. Xu's house.

After getting out of the car, Chen Xiaoqi said to Li Ran, "I always thought that the environment around my house was good enough, but I didn't expect your friend's house to be even closer to nature."

"Haha, that's his quirk." Li Ran couldn't help but laugh after hearing that.

The house in front of Chen Xiaoqi and the others was almost on a hillside. No wonder Li Ran drove for so long; it was too far out in the suburbs.

However, as everyone knows, the air in the mountains is exceptionally fresh. Staying here would be a great option.

"Isn't your friend an investor? How can a businessman have such a hobby?" Chen Xiaoqi asked curiously.

“He doesn’t usually live here. He’s usually in the city on weekdays, and he comes here to stay when he’s off work,” Li Ran explained.

“Oh, that’s actually a good thing,” Chen Xiaoqi said.

Then Li Ran started ringing the doorbell...

Soon, Mr. Xu came out. When Mr. Xu opened the door and saw that Li Ran had brought so many things, he immediately said, "You've come all this way, why did you bring so much stuff? We have everything here, you didn't need to bring these things."

“You have yours, but I’m taking the one I brought for you. They’re different,” Li Ran said with a smile.

"Haha, good, good, come in quickly, come in quickly." Mr. Xu said with a smile.

Then, Xu looked at Chen Xiaoqi and said, "This must be your sister-in-law, Xiaoqi."

"Yes, that's right," Li Ran quickly replied.

"Hello," Chen Xiaoqi greeted.

"Hello, hello, please have a seat," said Mr. Xu, who was standing nearby.

Then Mr. Xu said, "You can rest here for a while, I'll go pour you some tea."

"Okay," Li Ran nodded.

Then Mr. Xu quickly went over and started making tea for them.

A short while later, Mr. Xu returned. He placed the tea in front of them and then said, "Please have some tea first."

“Okay,” Chen Xiaoqi said.

However, at that moment, Li Ran, who was standing to the side, asked curiously, "Old Xu, didn't your wife come with you?"

"Uh." Old Xu looked surprised.

"What's wrong?" Li Ran continued to ask.

Just then, Chen Xiaoqi pinched Li Ran's thigh, then glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, indicating that the topic was not appropriate.

At this moment, Mr. Xu spoke up again, saying, "It's nothing, I'm currently single."

"What? No way..." Li Ran was even more surprised by what President Xu said.

"Why would I lie to you? I got divorced a year ago," Mr. Xu said calmly, looking at Li Ran.

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Li Ran asked again.

"This matter wasn't anything good, so why bring it up? Besides, we don't usually keep in touch. Don't we just get straight to the point? Forget it, this is all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore," said Mr. Xu.

“Yes, yes, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Chen Xiaoqi quickly said to Li Ran.

Li Ran then realized that his question had been somewhat abrupt, and he shut his mouth.

However, at that moment, Li Ran, who was standing to the side, said to Chen Xiaoqi, "Let me tell you, you're really in for a treat today. Old Xu's cooking is delicious. You'll see when you try it."

"Really? Then I'll have to try it later." Chen Xiaoqi said quickly.

"Haha, okay, I'll cook some of my signature dishes for you guys later," said Mr. Xu with a smile.

Then they changed the subject and started talking about their cooking, which then escalated to their school days together.

The happiness radiating from everyone's faces when they reminisced about their school days was indescribable. Everyone fondly remembered those carefree and wonderful student years.

They chatted like that until after 11 o'clock.

However, at this moment, Mr. Xu spoke up and said, "Alright, you guys rest here for a while, I'll go cook."

“Then the two of us will assist you,” Chen Xiaoqi quickly said.

"Just let Li Ran assist me. The girls should rest here," President Xu said after a moment's thought.

"You really don't hold back at all," Li Ran said immediately after hearing this.

"When have I ever been polite to you? Free labor, might as well use it. Let's go." After hearing Li Ran's words, General Manager Xu couldn't help but laugh, and then began to speak.

"Okay, sure." Li Ran nodded helplessly.

Li Ran then followed President Xu into the kitchen, while Chen Xiaoqi, who was resting alone in the living room, took out her phone and started scrolling through her WeChat Moments...

"Your wife is doing very well," Mr. Xu said quietly to Li Ran after they entered the kitchen.

"That's not true at all," Li Ran said without any modesty after hearing that.

"This is a compliment to her, not about you. What are you so smug about?" Mr. Xu said, shaking his head speechlessly.

"So praising her is also praising me, at least that's how I see it." Li Ran, who was standing to the side, laughed after hearing what President Xu said, and then continued to speak.

Chapter 441 Drunkard 1

After hearing Li Ran's words, Mr. Xu shook his head helplessly. He didn't know how Li Ran had become so shameless. However, Mr. Xu thought to himself that Li Ran's current state was quite good. At least he felt that Li Ran was happier than before.

"By the way, you still haven't told me what's going on between you and your sister-in-law?" Li Ran asked again at this moment.

"Nothing much has happened, it's just like this," Mr. Xu said calmly.

"Well, there's a reason for that, isn't there? Everything was fine, so what happened?" Li Ran continued to ask.

"Well, nothing really happened, we just weren't a good match, so we broke up amicably in the end," Mr. Xu added from the side.

"What's going on here? It's not as simple as you make it sound. You say it's a peaceful breakup? That's not a breakup, it's a divorce." Li Ran said seriously to President Xu.

"Our life together has never been like that of a normal couple. She's always busy, and so am I. After being together like this for so long, we both felt we weren't right for each other anymore, and that's nothing. Besides, I'm already divorced, so don't dwell on it anymore. It won't do you any good; you can't help me with that," Mr. Xu said with a smile.

"Alright, I won't ask any more questions. If you have anything you want to say, you can tell me anything. Remember, I'm a tight-lipped person," Li Ran continued.

“Okay. I understand,” said Mr. Xu with a smile.

"Really," Li Ran said with a smile.

Then the two of them got busy again, but they didn't forget to chat while they were busy.

The two chatted like that until the meal was ready.

"Dinner is ready," said General Manager Xu.

"Okay, then I'll take all of these away first," Li Ran said quickly.

Then I saw Li Ran carrying dishes and walking outside.

However, at that moment, Li Ran, who had just stepped out of the kitchen, said to Chen Xiaoqi, "Lunch is ready, come and eat."

"Oh, okay." Chen Xiaoqi said quickly after hearing this.

Then Chen Xiaoqi followed Li Ran over and helped him carry the food outside.

"Alright. That's all." At this moment, after finishing his work, General Manager Xu spoke up again.

"Okay, let's go eat then. Let us try your cooking again." Li Ran said with a smile after hearing what President Xu said.

"Haha, you two are really in for a treat today. I don't usually cook," Mr. Xu said with a smile.

Just then, Li Ran said again, "Haha, that's for sure. Let me tell you, I really miss your taste."

"Let me try it," Chen Xiaoqi said at this moment.

After taking a bite, Chen Xiaoqi's eyes shone brightly.

"It's so delicious! Did you study cooking before? It tastes better than a five-star restaurant!" Chen Xiaoqi said to President Xu in surprise.

"Haha, you're exaggerating a bit. It's delicious, but not that amazing," Mr. Xu said modestly.

"It's true, your skills are really superb. It's such a pity that the catering industry has lost such an excellent chef as you," Chen Xiaoqi continued at this moment.

"Haha, you know what, I did think about becoming a chef before, but my family disagreed. They insisted that I learn how to do business," Mr. Xu said regretfully from the side.

"What a pity," Chen Xiaoqi said again.

However, at that moment, Li Ran opened the bottle and said, "Let's have a toast first."

“This is a must.” Mr. Xu turned to look at Li Ran and said.
