but the crowd pushed and shoved, slowly separating them."Pearl!"Mingzhu heard Lu Qian calling her, but she quickened her pace.Over there, Ms. Liu ran over.As soon as he saw Lu Qian like this, he knew...Anran was not alone.

She stood beside a black RV, Gu Yunfan sat inside, one long leg stretched out of the vehicle.

It seems there are other people in the car.

A girl's voice came from inside, sounding quite fierce. She was arguing with Gu Yunfan, acting like a spoiled child.

"Gu Yunfan, you old geezer!"

"I'm almost 20 years younger than you, and I gave myself to you wholeheartedly, but you still have the nerve to cheat on me"

"You're messing around with ghosts, aren't you! I'll kill you, and see if you can still be so suave."

……

Gu Yunfan coaxed her, with a hint of impatience, but he was still mostly willing to endure a woman's coquettishness.

Huoyuns thought for a moment, listening to the sound, it seemed familiar.

But he didn't think too much about it, instead focusing his gaze on Anran's face.

Anran also saw him.

She gave a nonchalant smile, pulled her coat tighter around her, and bent down to whisper a few words in Gu Yunfan's ear. Gu Yunfan's face was already scratched by the kitten, even so, the woman in the car was still not appeased, complaining: "Anran, just help him!"

That girl, it was Li Siqi.

Two years ago, after meeting at the airport, we became good friends.

Gu Yunfan was just too much of a heartbreaker. A little girl like Li Siqi couldn't hold his heart at all. They had been together for two years, there were sweet moments, but mostly they were fighting.

Anran had been with Gu Yunfan for a long time and had never seen anyone as unruly as Li Siqi. This must be the confidence that comes from a good family background, right

Now Li Siqi confronted her, but she just smiled.

An Ran was his own secretary, and Gu Yunfan still protected her. He pressed down on Li Siqi's head unhappily and said, "It's just giving a set of clothes to a young model. An Ran also ran errands according to my orders. What are you making a fuss about with her!"

Li Siqi was furious: "She and you are two peas in a pod."

Others didn't know, but she was clear that of all the women who came and went around Gu Yunfan, none were as important as Anran. In two years, Anran had become more and more like a solitary person.

She doesn't believe Gu Yunfan has any feelings for An Ran.

But she dared not speak it aloud.

Having said that, she probably can't stay with this old bastard anymore.

Just thinking about it, Li Siqi felt really wronged. She stopped talking and sat there sulking. Gu Yunfan saw that she had calmed down and was willing to coax this young lover of his, so he looked up at Anran very gently and said, "I'll send her home, you call a taxi back."

Then, he suddenly saw Huo Yunshi.

Long legs leaped out of the car: "Yunshi!"

Li Siqi hid in the car, refusing to get out. After all, she had been chasing Huo Yunsi before, but now she ended up with Gu Yunfan, this old lecher. It was truly embarrassing.

Gu Yunfan got out of the car and walked to Huo Yunshi.

This time, he was polite: "Yunshi, I'm sending my girlfriend back. Would you mind helping me send Anran ... Oh, I forgot you brought your girlfriend too, it wouldn't be convenient."

He looked troubled: "Ms. An should probably take a taxi. It's just a bit cold at night."

Anran didn't expect him to bring that up.

She immediately smiled faintly: “No need, I can…”

But before he could finish his sentence, Huo Yunsi spoke up, "Get in the car." His tone was indifferent, yet there was an undeniable forcefulness to it, leaving no room for refusal.

An Ran was momentarily stunned.

When she was his secretary, she had seen this side of him too, but privately it wasn't like that.

"I'm feeling rather emotional," she said, but Sun Tian had already taken her arm and was smiling sweetly. "It's an honor for both me and Yunsi to be able to help Uncle Gu."

Gu Yunfan smiled, a smile both mature and alluring: "A young lady unmarried giving orders to men isn't a good habit, you know!"

Sun Tian blushed, she secretly glanced at Huo Yunsi.

The other party still had a poker face.

……

In the end, Anran still got into Huo Yunsi's car.

To my surprise, it was Lao Zhao's car.

Seeing An Ran get in the car, Lao Zhao gasped. Huo Yunsi followed and got in the car. It was a long, black Lincoln, both imposing and spacious. Huo Yunsi took out a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses from the small refrigerator, poured half a glass for An Ran, and said to Lao Zhao, "Mr. Gu's secretary."

Lao Zhao took another sharp breath and agreed, "It's the general manager's secretary, no wonder!"

He secretly glanced at Anran.

Anran didn't take the glass of red wine. What was the matter with her and Huo Yuns thought drinking red wine in the car

As if knowing her thoughts, Huo Yuns thought calmly smiled: "Sun Tian doesn't drink red wine."

There's a touch of intimacy in those words.

Sun Tian blushed and argued softly, "Who said I don't drink"

She also took the cup from his hand, sipping it lightly, as if in defiance... Huo Yunsi just let her do so, with a patient and good-tempered air.

Anran knew he did it on purpose for her to see.

She didn't mind, holding the highball glass, taking a sip and that was enough for her to consider it tasted.

Ho Yunsi stared at her, "I thought after years apart, Secretary An's alcohol tolerance should have improved. Why only drink one sip ... Or are you afraid it's unsafe"

Anran leaned sideways, gently stroking the cup.

She smiled lightly: "Mr. Huo's car, how could it not be safe Mr. Huo is really joking."

Huo Yunsi did not speak again.

Sun Tian felt a subtle tension in the air. Could it be that their work relationship was just not pleasant Every time they met, the atmosphere seemed strained. But based on her understanding of Huo Yunsi, he wasn't someone who would force himself into something he disliked. If he truly hated working with them, why would he agree to send An's secretary home

Yes, it must be for Uncle Gu's sake.

The interior was eerie, with an unsettling silence. Thankfully, they soon arrived at the place Anran had mentioned.

After getting out of the car, she leaned against the door smiling and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huo."

Huo Yunsi looked up at her, his eyes were an unmelting richness. He looked around and sneered: "Ms. An is really good at choosing places! Convenient transportation, easy to take a cab."

How could An Ran possibly not understand what he meant.

She gently blinked. "Mr. Huo, you're too kind! ... Well, I won't disturb Mr. Huo and Miss Sun's world."

Huoyuns thought he still had something to say, but Anran had already closed the car door.

Just as she shut the car door and turned, all her strength seemed to drain away. Her chest felt hollow and ached... She knew in City B they were destined to meet again. He had a girlfriend from his blind date, something she'd known already, but she was still exhausted by playing games with him.

For three years, she learned to let go.

But it was obvious, Huo Yunsi didn't. She could feel his veiled digs and animosity.

Under neon lights.

Anran blinked softly.

Between them, who should hate whom, is hard to say!

The phone in her handbag rang. Anran picked it up, and a childish voice came from the other end: "Mommy, when are you coming back Grandma and I have been waiting for so long! The little cake is about to melt."

"Mom will be back soon!"

She hung up the phone and hailed a taxi.ngs done."Just done!Lu Qian signed his name and closed the file.He came over to eat.The old woman's dishes were all light and simple, suitable for his stomach.But it tastes really good.Lu Qian, as he...
