Twenty minutes later.
In the SUV driven by Lan Jingqian’s driver.
There were four people sitting in the back seat: Tang Ran, Luo Zhan, and Tan Yunchang…
There was also Meng Xueyu.
Under Luo Zhan’s cold gaze, Tan Yunchang smiled awkwardly: “I don’t know why we were the only ones left behind.”
Tan Yunchang shrank back to the seat behind Tang Ran, all the while smiling flatteringly: “Sister Tang, do you mind if we take a ride?”
Tang Ran shook her head and said seriously, “Of course not.”
“I do mind.”
Luo Zhan sat in another seat in the same row as Tang Ran. He then lazily raised his eyelids and spoke in a cold and heartless tone.
“Go down and take a taxi and I will reimburse you for your travel expenses when you get back.”
Tan Yunchang: “…”
Tan Yunchang turned his head pitifully and looked at Tang Ran for help. Before he could meet Tang Ran’s gaze, Tan Yunchang’s vision went dark.
Luo Zhan stood up and came over, covered Tan Yunchang’s eyes with disgust, and pushed him back to the back seat.
“Don’t pollute the little girl with your eyes. She has only regained her sight for a few days.”
Tan Yunchang: “???”
After pushing the man back to his seat, Luo Zhan lowered his hand and wiped it back and forth on Tan Yunchang’s clothes expressionlessly before taking it back.
In the middle of the conversation, he lifted the little girl’s face with her pointed chin and turned her back: “Be good, don’t look at him, he’s dirty. Let’s look at something clean, it’s good for our eyes.”
Tan Yunchang finally realized what was happening and gritted his teeth in anger: “You are the only one who is clean!”
Luo Zhan turned a deaf ear to him. He rubbed the girl’s cheek with his fingertips before leaving. Then he frowned: “Has Lan Jingqian abused you in the past two months while I was away? Why haven’t you gained weight and are you even thinner?”
Tang Ran blushed, but still refuted seriously: “No, I have been eating nutritious meals in the hospital, which are very light.”
At the end of the sentence, the little girl held back for a moment, but still couldn’t help muttering, “There was a nurse who was very strict and wouldn’t let me touch any meat.”
Luo Zhan’s lips curled up slightly: “Then tell me who it is, and I will go back to find the dean.”
Tang Ran shook her head and looked at Luo Zhan seriously: “Sister Nurse was doing this for my own good. You can’t do this.”
“Yes,” Luo Zhan nodded, “I know. So I’m going to ask the dean to give her a commendation – thank her for helping me keep an eye on a greedy little girl when I was away.”
“…”
Tang Ran only then realized that she was being teased. She wrinkled her nose, secretly glared at Luo Zhan, then quickly turned her head away.
Luo Zhan was angry and amused: “Did you glare at me just now?”
Tang Ran looked back innocently: “I didn’t.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“…”
In the back row, Tan Yunchang looked at the two of them with a hard-to-speak expression. He then lowered his voice and shook his head for a long while: “Before I met Sister Tang, I never dreamed that Luo Zhan would have such a day.”
“…” Meng Xueyu was looking at this with mixed feelings and turned back when he heard this. “It was you who said that at the beginning, senior.”
Tan Yunchang: “Ah?”
Meng Xueyu gritted his teeth and said, “You said that Brother Zhan won’t like her.”
“.”
Tan Yunchang paused in embarrassment.
There were two rows of seats in the back of the SUV. No matter how spacious the space was, it was still just a square inch. When Meng Xueyu spoke, he didn’t deliberately lower his voice, so the people in the front row could hear it clearly.
Luo Zhan and Tang Ran stopped talking at the same time.
Tang Ran turned back blankly and looked at Meng Xueyu, a person she didn’t know and had no impression of.
Luo Zhan leaned back in the leather seat, originally leaning sideways towards Tang Ran. At this moment, he lowered his eyelids and smiled coldly: “The person involved is not deaf. Do you have to gossip about me in front of me?”
Meng Xueyu froze.
Tan Yunchang was embarrassed for a few seconds then quickly tried to smooth things over: “Xueyu must have been airsick, he was talking nonsense just now. You guys chat about your own things, don’t–“
“It’s not just Senior Tan who said that. Brother Zhan, you said it yourself too!” Meng Xueyu mustered up the courage from nowhere, clenched his fists, raised his head, and stared at Luo Zhan, “It was you who said it yourself, Senior, that you couldn’t possibly like her!”
“…”
There was silence in the car for a few seconds.
The three of them knew the truth, but Tang Ran was the only one who was completely clueless.
After waiting for a long time without any relief, Tang Ran carefully moved towards Luo Zhan. She hesitated and said softly, “Luo Luo, is he talking about you?”
The cold anger in Luo Zhan’s eyes unconsciously shrank back when it touched the soft eyes of the girl who was so close to him, as if he was afraid that the sharpness of his emotions would accidentally hurt the girl in front of him.
He lowered his eyes: “Yeah, they’re talking about me.”
Tang Ran asked unexpectedly, “He seems very angry. Who is the girl he was talking about? Is it…” Tang Ran hesitated and lowered her voice unconsciously, “Is it Luo Luo’s ex-girlfriend?”
Luo Zhan was speechless.
After a few seconds, he laughed helplessly: “When did you hear that I had an ex-girlfriend?”
The little girl’s eyes dimmed: “Luo Luo is very good in every aspect and has the best looks. It’s normal for him to have an ex-girlfriend——”
“Well, I’m not normal.” Luo Zhan stopped the girl’s imagination without hesitation, “So I don’t have any ex-girlfriends or ambiguous objects.”
“…”
Tang Ran looked up in surprise, with obvious joy in her eyes that she didn’t know how to hide.
Luo Zhan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw it.
Tang Ran reacted and blushed slightly, but she didn’t try to hide it. She just asked curiously, “Did he misunderstand you? He seemed to think that you stole the person he liked before?”
Luo Zhan: “No misunderstanding.”
Tang Ran: “?”
Luo Zhan turned his head and leaned his elbows on the top of the seat back. He then looked at Meng Xueyu behind the seat without any expression.
They then looked at each other for a few seconds.
The usually cold and lazy young man curled up the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows slightly at Meng Xueyu.
There was a sense of fierceness and calmness in this smile.
“You said it. Now you regret it.”
“I just like Tang Ran.”
