Chapter 629: Come over, take Lin Xi home
er, making her look even more slender...Ho Shao-ting remembered the liquor she had consumed tonight, a dull ache throbbing in his heart.< Is that how he makes her feel >Would she rather go drinking wi...She sat downstairs for quite a while, and when she went back, she bumped into Gu Yunfan by the door as he was about to close it.
Seeing Anran, he said, "She's asleep, not very soundly. You keep an eye on her for a bit."
Anran did not refuse.
Li Siqi is getting engaged, and it's really not suitable to have too much entanglement with Mr. Gu anymore.
Gu Yunfan didn't stay for long, only telling Anran a few things about the company. In the end, he gave her shoulder a light pat: "If you have any difficulties, come find me! We can't lose this ground in City B."
Anran nodded. "Mr. Gu, I understand!"
She was Gu Yunfan's subordinate, so she naturally cared about where her superior had gone. Gu Yunfan flicked out his burning cigarette and said, "The situation in City H is pretty tense, but even if it's tense, we have to make do. I still have to take a family portrait with her tomorrow!"
Thinking of those things, he wasn't in a good mood.
The Gus Group wasn't what he desired; what he truly yearned for was freedom, yet he willingly remained trapped his whole life.
And Anran sent him downstairs.
Gu Yunfan got in the car and drove away quickly.
Returning to her apartment peacefully, she walked into the bedroom.
Li Siqi was sleeping soundly.
Her shoes and socks were off, she held Lin Xi's toy in her arms, and a thick red envelope lay beside her pillow... She sat quietly by the bed for a while, reaching out to gently stroke it.
Mr. Gu, actually, doesn't want to let go either, does he
Mr. Gu always liked Li Siqi, but when he was young, he met someone who took his breath away. He thought no one could compare to that person for the rest of his life. But he forgot that the most important thing in marriage is mutual love....
……
Early in the morning, Li Siqi woke up and opened her eyes to see the New Year's red envelope.
Thick, every year is 18,888.
After finishing her count, she sat on the bed, lost in thought. When she came to her senses, she jumped up and ran outside... Anran was busy cooking for the New Year's Eve dinner, so engrossed that she didn't notice Li Siqi behind her.
"That... that old geezer, did he come by"
Li Siqi lacked confidence. Although she was drunk, she wasn't completely unconscious.
Now that I think about it, she seemed to be hugging that old thing, kissing and nibbling on it while mumbling nonsense. If you really think about it, she wouldn't even be able to look at herself in the mirror.
Anran's hand movements stopped for a moment, and she hummed: "Yes, they came!"
Li Siqi's eyes seemed like daggers.
She stared at An Ran: "I didn't lose my composure, did I"
"Alright!"
Li Siqi held her head and cried for a long time, glaring at Anran: "You didn't stop me"
"Safe and sound: "Stop, can't stop!"
After a while, footsteps came from behind, tap-tap-tapping closer. Soon, Li Siqi emerged with a small bag on her back and said, "I'm leaving!"
Over the years, An Ran has gotten to know her intimately, even better than she knows her own position.
She didn't stop him.
Li Siqi stamped her foot: "You're not keeping me Anran, do you even have a heart! You're not even keeping me... I thought of you as a friend! I even wanted to introduce you to a boyfriend at my engagement! Looks like I was wrong about you."
An Ran walked over leisurely.
A plate of beef dumplings is placed on a small table, served with black vinegar sauce.
Li Siqi stared for a long time, then flung the bag aside and sat down to eat. She ate so quickly she could barely speak: "I told you! You conquered Huo Yunsi with your skills in the first place! He has every beautiful woman he wants!"
An Ran just smiled faintly.
Li Siqi really felt that she had changed a lot, and exclaimed: "Don't be angry! I'm just speaking my mind! But Huo Yunsi looks at you the same way I look at this plate of beef and water dumplings... Feed... Doesn't he have anyone else besides you I think Sun Tian looks at him with desire, she definitely doesn't have any real feelings for him."
"Can dumplings stop your mouth"
Li Siqi looked at Anran's calm and composed appearance, and became a little dissatisfied: "Hey, I sincerely treat you as a friend, but you only take care of me because of that old thing Gu Yunfan! Anran, you have no heart."
Anran smiled calmly.
She countered, “Are you wanting to be cared for by Mr. Gu, or do you care about me”
Li Siqi fell silent, and after a long while she murmured, "What's the use of talking about this anymore! He won't marry me anyway."
Anran did not intervene.
She didn't know what Gu Yunfan meant, and she didn't dare to delay Li Siqi. The young lady was almost 30 years old, and she really couldn't afford to be delayed... But would such a marriage truly be happy
Li Siqi finished half a plate of dumplings and sat in silence for a while.
She said, "Let's not talk about him anymore! It's all... in the past!"
Although she said that, when she got home, she still opened the red envelope and carefully felt each brand new bill. Because she knew this was the last time...
Once she gets married, she'll belong to someone else.
……
After seeing Li Siqi off, Anran was home alone and put on two movies.
In the evening, she wanted to go for a walk.
Ho Yunsi's call came, which was quite a surprise. She thought that after last night's incident, Ho Yunsi would avoid contact with her for the time being, even about Lin Xi's matters he wouldn't reach out personally.
After some thought, she still picked up.
Huo Yuns thought remained cold: "Lin Xi wants to go back! Come and pick him up at eight o'clock."
He couldn't help but worry.
She wanted to ask, but Huo Yunsi had already hung up the phone. Anran could only follow suit and hang up as well. She thought that between her and Huo Yunsi, they couldn't even manage the basic courtesy of being polite to each other in the end.
It's only 5 o'clock now, and she can't go early even if she's worried.
That was Grandma and Grandpa Linxi's house, but she had nothing to do with them. She didn't want people to underestimate her...
Anran waited until 7 o'clock, then changed her clothes.
A thin red knitted skirt, with a beige coat on top, and black long hair simply tied up... makes her appear mature and feminine.
Although she's visiting people, she can't go empty-handed for the New Year.
On the way, she carefully bought some high-end supplements and fruits, trying not to be too ostentatious.
When the car arrived at the Huo residence, it was precisely eight o'clock.
On New Year's Day, the house was very lively. Not only were the Huo family members present, but Lu Qian also came with Huo Mingzhu and the children to celebrate the Lunar New Year together. During the meal, two tables were set up directly.
Entered the villa peacefully.
She opened the car door and heard a lively sound, and upon looking, she saw a black motorhome.
She recognized it, it was the Sun family's car.
Is Sun Tian here
Feeling awkward, An Ran didn't want to go in herself. Just then, a servant passed by, so she opened the trunk and had him take the gift inside... The servant was also an old employee of the Huo family and immediately understood An Ran's intentions.
Ms. Sun is here, but Ms. An is unavailable.
The maid was easy to persuade, so she agreed. She carried things in and told Huo Yunsi, “Young Master Yunsi, Miss An is here to pick up Young Master. Shall I take Young Master out”
In the spacious hall, Huo Yunsi was dressed casually and reclining on the sofa, flipping through a magazine.
Linxi stood beside him.
The Sun family did come, but not as Anran had imagined, dining here. They only stayed for half an hour... it was more of a visit with generous gifts and appeasement.
Huo Yuns thought lifted his eyes, and in a flat tone asked: "Where is she", to have this long-awaited embrace, this rare..."Wen Man! Perhaps, I could be a good husband!"He leaned in close to her ear and whispered.He cast aside his former prejudices and wanted to genuinely a...
