Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon

Chapter 1167 - 1173: Can’t Control Myself (1)

"Huh?" An Ran pointed at her seatbelt, "But... I can really do it myself.""When I say ’take care,’ it’s not just about that." Jiang Yinuo’s gaze was very gentle, "It’s about taking care of everything about you. Protecting you, cherishing you, is that okay?"

An Ran looked at Jiang Yinuo in shock.

Even if she were a bit dense, she could hear the implication in Jiang Yinuo’s words.

Was he... indirectly confessing?

An Ran had no experience in rejecting people and didn’t understand how to be subtle. She moved her lips and said, "Mr. Jiang, I can’t agree to that right now. Because I don’t like you at all, it wouldn’t be fair to you..."

Jiang Yinuo had thought that An Ran might reject him.

But he didn’t expect her to bluntly say, "I don’t like you."

Even though he was mentally prepared, the light in his eyes dimmed a bit.

Then he smiled faintly, "It’s okay, as long as you don’t outright reject me. Let’s start by being friends, okay?"

Friends.

Hearing this word, An Ran nodded heavily.

Jiang Yinuo seemed pleased, glanced at the time, and asked An Ran, "What would you like to eat? I’ll take you out."

The words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue, but then she recalled the scene yesterday when Chi Cheng and Lin Wanqing had dinner together.

Yes, hadn’t she decided to start anew?

Perhaps she should try giving both Jiang Yinuo and herself a chance.

An Ran smiled, "Anything is fine."

"Then... How about Japanese food?"

"Sure."

Maybe it was because An Ran had completely let her guard down, but throughout the meal today, her demeanor was noticeably more cheerful than when she was alone with Jiang Yinuo before.

Talking and laughing, she was really adorable.

After the meal, Jiang Yinuo drove An Ran back to the Chi Mansion.

An Ran unbuckled the seatbelt, bent down outside the car, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yinuo helplessly replied, "Since we’re friends now, do you still have to call me Mr. Jiang?"

"Mr. Jiang just rolls off the tongue better."

Jiang Yinuo’s eyes were full of laughter as he glanced at her and said, "Alright, go on in. I’ll leave after I see you enter the house."

Didn’t An Ran say she felt like someone had been following her lately?

Watching her walk into the mansion, Jiang Yinuo finally felt at ease and drove away.

-

After getting home, An Ran changed into her slippers and had just walked into the living room when she caught sight of a figure sitting with crossed legs, elegantly perched on the sofa.

She was startled, "Ah—"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be... Chi Cheng?

Why was he back?

A few days ago, sitting in the same spot, this man had stated, word for word, that he would not return to the Chi family unless it was for something important.

So... what was the important matter that brought him back today?

In just a few seconds, An Ran’s mind raced with countless thoughts like a scrolling marquee.

Finally, she managed to suppress them calmly.

Then, without showing any surprise or delight, as if she hadn’t even seen him, she turned around, went to the fridge, and took out a bottle of milk, humming a tune as she prepared to go upstairs.

Just as she turned around, she nearly bumped into a solid wall of muscle.

An Ran stumbled back a few steps, looking up at him.

Chi Cheng wasn’t wearing a suit today; he seemed more casual, as if he’d been at the Chi Mansion for quite some time.

At this moment, the man was leaning against the refrigerator with his arms crossed, "What has you so happy?"
