Chapter 560 - 574: Wait for Me at Home
An Ran dialed Mu Xingfeng’s phone number once more, but it was still turned off.It seemed that Instructor Mu’s matters were not yet finished.
An Ran put away her phone, called the waiter to pay for her drink, and picked up her backpack to leave.
It was already this late; even if Mu Xingfeng finished his work and rushed over, he wouldn’t make it to the restaurant in time. Instead of waiting here, she might as well go home and make a late-night snack for him that’s easy to digest.
Even though she had been waiting here so painfully, her Instructor Mu, after completing his tasks and hurrying back, wouldn’t he be more exhausted?
As long as two people are in love, every day is Valentine’s Day, so why care about this particular day?
Just as she exited the restaurant’s elevator, her phone rang. An Ran took it out, and her eyes instantly brightened.
She swiped to answer, and a man’s sexy and low voice came through, "Hello, Ranran."
At the moment she heard his voice, her heart, which had been empty all night, was instantly filled.
"Hey," An Ran responded softly, "Are you back?"
Mu Xingfeng, who had just rushed out of the family building without changing his clothes and held his phone while running downstairs, heard the girl’s voice and slightly curved his lips. "I’m on my way. Are you worried? Where are you now?"
"Me?" An Ran switched the phone to the other side of her ear, moving away from the roadside, casually saying, "Where else would I be? I waited for you at the restaurant for a while. When you didn’t come, I went home to wait for you. You haven’t had dinner yet, right? About what time will you be home? I’ll make you some late-night snacks."
Before Mu Xingfeng could answer, a car passed by the roadside and honked heavily.
"Ranran, you’re not at home; you’re still outside." It was not a question but a statement. "Where exactly are you? Why aren’t you home this late?"
An Ran cursed the car’s tail silently as it disappeared. The street had few cars by now, with only one or two passing by occasionally. Worrying that Mu Xingfeng would hear more unwanted noises, she saw a small alley nearby and walked into it. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel-fire.ɴet
"How could that be? I’m at home, on the balcony taking your call because the signal is good here. A car just passed downstairs; who knows who it was? It’s really rude to honk this late." An Ran made up a random excuse.
"Ranran, I don’t care where you are; go home immediately. I’ll be home in half an hour. Wait for me at home."
Mu Xingfeng clearly didn’t believe An Ran’s words. Remembering that he had promised to spend the holiday with her today but left her alone outside made him worry about her safety and feel even more pained for her.
"Oh, my dear Instructor Mu, I really am at home. Don’t worry, on the way..."
"Miss An, what’s this? Didn’t your lover show up, so you’re meeting someone else? How about letting Brother accompany you tonight?"
The sudden voice from behind startled An Ran. Turning around, she saw three tall figures at the entrance of the alley; it was Xu Changqing who had just been at the restaurant speaking.
Xu Changqing had been observing An Ran from the private room, and seeing her so-called boyfriend not appear, he concluded she had been stood up, making him itch with excitement. It was like a chance given by the heavens.
After An Ran left the restaurant, he had been tailing her. Because he was wary of An Ran’s abilities, he called two of his buddies to join him.
Seeing An Ran’s silence, Xu Changqing continued:
"In my opinion, you might as well ditch that so-called boyfriend. He can stand you up on such a day; what can you expect from such a man? You’d be better off with me. The Xu family is among the top in Nan’an City. As long as you nod, the position of Young Madam of the Xu Family is yours."
