When Duan Qingyan, who was still worried, came to the side house to deliver dinner to Tang Ran, she found that the girl felt a little special tonight.
“You seem very happy tonight, Xiao Ran?”
“Is it?” After washing her hands, Tang Ran returned to the dining table with a smile in her eyes.
“Well, what happened that made you so happy?”
“The main residence arranged a new driver for me today.” Tang Ran said, “He is a very kind and interesting person. I think we will get along very well in the future.”
“Is that so?” Duan Qingyan nodded absentmindedly.
Tang Ran was already preparing to eat, but when she heard Duan Qingyan’s last words, she hesitated and turned back: “But you don’t sound too happy.”
Duan Qingyan sighed: “There is one thing I am struggling with whether to tell you or not.”
Tang Ran was stunned for a moment: “Is it something important?”
Duan Qingyan shook her head: “I don’t know either.”
“Then just tell me when you want to say it.” Tang Ran chuckled.
“…”
After a few seconds of silence at the pretty smile of the little girl, Duan Qingyan took the initiative to sit next to Tang Ran and lowered her voice: “Xiao Ran, you have to promise me that you can’t tell anyone what I told you today – otherwise I think I’ll be dead!”
Tang Ran was stunned: “Is it so serious?”
“It’s very serious!” Duan Qingyan took a deep breath and finally couldn’t hold it anymore, “Do you know Lan Jingqian?”
Tang Ran was surprised: “I’ve heard of him. He and Luo Zhan are friends.”
Duan Qingyan was about to speak when she was stunned: “Ah? He and Luo Zhan are friends? They look like they are more than ten years apart, right?”
Tang Ran smiled: “I also heard it from the people in the INT lab. Luo Zhan and he hit it off at an international AI exchange meeting, and then they became close friends regardless of age difference, and they have a very good personal relationship.”
“Ah, was it because of this that he was asking about you…” Duan Qingyan was confused.
Tang Ran came back to her senses and asked without hearing clearly, “Why?”
Duan Qingyan came back to her senses, gritted her teeth, and said, “This afternoon, the man named Lan Jingqian suddenly came to the Tang family’s main residence and talked to the old lady in the tea room for a long time – you didn’t see the scene, their conversation was like riding a roller coaster, the smell of gunpowder was very strong!”
After listening to this, Tang Ran looked up blankly: “So?”
“And then Lan Jingqian suddenly asked about you!”
“Asked about me?” Tang Ran was stunned. “Why was he asking about me?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t have time to listen to the rest.” Duan Qingyan’s face flushed. “I was frightened by the old lady. I was not prepared to hear your name. I was so frightened that my hands trembled, and then I was driven out by Butler Qiu.”
Tang Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Duan Qingyan sighed in frustration: “Maybe he asked about you because of Luo Zhan? But it doesn’t make sense…”
Tang Ran accompanied Duan Qingyan to think for a while, then gave up: “There are too few clues, and I can’t figure it out.”
Duan Qingyan: “I will keep my ears open during this time in the main house and try to find out the reason!”
Tang Ran chuckled: “Okay.”
“But Xiao Ran, it’s good that you just know it yourself, but you must not tell anyone,” Duan Qingyan said with a bitter face, “Butler Qiu is terrible. He warned me not to mention this matter. If he knew that I told it, he would definitely kill me – the old people in the family said that he used to be a desperate gangster!”
Tang Ran smiled and said, “We live in a society ruled by law now. Things like that won’t happen.”
“The way he looks at people is really scary…”
Tang Ran: “Well, I promise you, I won’t tell anyone.”
Duan Qingyan nodded and stood up. Just as she was relieved, she suddenly remembered something and turned back alertly: “It won’t work if it’s not a human.”
“Ah?” Tang Ran looked up in confusion.
“Just, your robot…” Duan Qingyan glanced away guiltily, “Don’t tell him. What if, what if he records it, then I’m doomed.”
Tang Ran: “Luo Luo is a very obedient robot and would not do that kind of thing.”
Duan Qingyan was in a complicated mood: “He…”
“Okay, I promise you, I won’t even tell Luo Luo!”
“Uh-huh.”
That night, routine “robot” time.
When Luo Zhan came out of the mechanical box and entered the side house with the door left open for him, there was no one in the living room. Only a few faint voices came from the bedroom.
Luo Zhan showed a surprised expression——
This was the first time he saw Tang Ran talking on the phone with someone else instead of sitting in the living room waiting for her “Luo Luo” to appear.
Luo Zhan felt an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
He frowned slightly and walked towards the bedroom.
Just as he got outside, the door happened to open from the inside, and a little girl with a bright smile walked out.
Then she keenly sensed something and stopped.
The little girl put her nose forward and sniffed lightly with her nostrils flaring:
“Yes…Is Luo Luo here?”
The “robot” boy in a white shirt had frozen two seconds ago.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who happened to open the door and walk out, and now stopped not far from his chest.
The tip of her small nose was only one or two centimeters away from touching the button of his shirt. Her warm and slightly burning breath passed through the thin shirt and rushed straight to his chest.
Luo Zhan raised his eyes with difficulty, and his Adam’s apple rolled slightly.
“…Good evening, Master.”
The mechanical voice tried hard to remain steady.
“Oh, I almost hit you.”
The little girl took a half step back and raised her face with a smile.
Luo Zhan was dazzled by the girl’s bright smile.
He almost couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his lips: “Master, were you talking on the phone just now?”
“Yeah.” Tang Ran took the initiative to say, “I got a new driver today, he’s really good!”
During the day, Luo Zhan had just fulfilled the little girl’s wish and become her driver. When he heard these words, he naturally thought she was talking about him.
The smile on the young man’s lazy and handsome face became more obvious.
“How powerful is he?”
Tang Ran raised the phone in her hand excitedly.
“He said tonight that he would take me out to the suburbs for a walk tomorrow weekend. I thought the main residence wouldn’t agree – but he actually did it! Do you think he’s amazing?”
Luo Zhan: “…”
Luo Zhan: “?”
