Chapter 542 - 556: Pretending, Are You?
"So, Instructor Mu is totally smitten with you," Xiao Xiao concluded, her eyes suddenly lighting up."So you two have been together since way back, huh? How is it?"
An Ran couldn’t help but facepalm, "Miss Xiao, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Xiao couldn’t resist giving her a knowing look again.
An Ran couldn’t help but despise Xiao Xiao, "You little brat, being so dirty-minded every day. Have you thought about whether Brother Yang can tolerate you?"
"What does it have to do with Brother Yang?" Xiao Xiao retorted, but her face couldn’t help but blush. Fresh chapters posted on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"Really doesn’t matter? Sigh, such a pity, I was planning on sending you Brother Yang’s phone number. Since it doesn’t matter, I guess you don’t want his number either."
An Ran said regretfully, looking at the blushing person next to her.
Let’s see how long you can keep pretending.
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, Xiao Xiao’s face changed several colors and she clung to An Ran’s arm, "Ranran, I think you should send me Junyang’s number, you know, last time when you were in danger, I had Instructor Mu’s number and could notify her immediately. Instructor Mu answered the call, but what if Instructor Mu is on a mission and you’re in danger again? I can notify Brother Yang to come rescue you."
The more An Ran listened, the darker her face became, and she finally pinched Xiao Xiao’s arm, "Good grief, Xiao Xiao, I didn’t expect you’d value romance over friendship so much. You’re actually cursing me to get Brother Yang’s number. See how I’ll deal with you."
Xiao Xiao laughed and ran off right before she could react.
The two of them laughed and teased each other as they arrived at the mall, the lingerie counter was on the third floor.
Previously, An Ran only bought from regular stores. Although the An Family had some money, the amount she controlled was limited. She wouldn’t buy anything too upscale, much less come to a specialty lingerie section in the mall. She mostly felt a bit shy about it.
Xiao Xiao was also coming to such a place for the first time. The two girls first roughly checked out a few stores, finding mostly ordinary lingerie. There were many patterns and styles, but not quite what they imagined.
"I think we should let it go," An Ran said, turning to leave.
Xiao Xiao grabbed her, "Hey, Ranran, what about the Valentine’s Day gift? Do you think you can prepare a better gift? Don’t forget, I’ve already bought chocolate for Junyang, do you also want to give Instructor Mu the same? I’m telling you, if you really give something like chocolate, not to mention Instructor Mu, even I would look down on you."
Xiao Xiao continued brainwashing An Ran, "What relationship do I have with Junyang? We’re at most just ordinary friends. And you and Instructor Mu? Instructor Mu is so good to you, he’s saved you so many times, exchanged two million for an adoption agreement just to give you freedom from the An Family. Do you think you should just give a box of chocolate? I honestly doubt if you really love Instructor Mu."
An Ran felt utterly ashamed by her words, she truly loved Instructor Mu, loved him so much, but...
After looking and choosing through the entire morning, she finally picked something relatively conservative, though it seemed like the limit for her.
The sales clerk helped scan and check out. Just then, a man walked into the store.
This man wasn’t accompanying a female companion, making his presence here quite conspicuous.
It was noon and the store had no other customers, and there was only one sales clerk.
The man came in and brazenly scanned the store, then looked at the two who were checking out.
An Ran felt uncomfortable under such scrutiny. After the clerk scanned the item, she handed her card over, paid, and then pulled Xiao Xiao to leave.
"Are you An Ran?"
The man suddenly blocked their way and asked.
An Ran looked at the man in front of her and confirmed that she didn’t know him. But since he had called out her name, it wasn’t good for her to just walk away.
At this moment, the clerk walked over and respectfully addressed the man, "Manager Xu."
