C4 Study Conversation

After getting out of the car, Xu Ran followed behind Guan Jingyi as they obediently entered the house. She initially wanted to inform Shangguan Jingyi that she would need to go upstairs first.

Unexpectedly, the tip of Guan Jingyi's foot spun, and in the blink of an eye, he had changed from a position with his back facing Xu Ran to one that was facing her.

Seeing her heavy makeup, Guan Jingyi's dark eyes did not show any emotion. He put his hands on his belt and said to Xu Ran, "Go back and pack up properly. Take a shower and change your clothes. Come to the study room later. Anthea, let's talk. "

Xu Ran nodded in agreement. Although she was a bit confused by the official's' chat ', she did not ask. She changed into a pair of shoes and obediently went upstairs.

In the bathroom, a thick mist of steam covered the mirror, adding a layer of mist to it. Xu Ran was standing naked in front of the mirror. She couldn't see what she looked like clearly, and could only see the outline of her body. His thoughts had already flown back ten years ago.

Yes, it had been ten years. She had been secretly in love with Jingyi for ten years.

She still remembered the scene of her hiding under the stone bridge in the heavy rain. She saw him wearing a windbreaker and holding up a black umbrella, reaching out his hand and saying that he wanted to take her home.

She still remembered that day, she was lying on Guan Jingyi's back, looking happy.

From then on, she called him 'Brother Yi' to the officials. In her dreams, she could not help but think of marrying him, putting on a white wedding dress, and keeping the most sacred vows of the church, and of him living his life forever, accompanied by the White Prime Minister. However, in reality, Xu Ran knew very well that the emotion she longed for could not be given to her by an official like Jing Yi because he had already promised another woman in his heart.

She had somehow become the official Jingyi's wife, her existence was already a mistake.

Therefore, Xu Ran had always restrained her feelings for the official scene and her politeness and alienation from him. She could only restrain herself and be saved.

Dong, dong dong dong. This was the frequency with which Xu Ran knocked on the door. She had always been the most polite, especially in front of Guan Jingyi.

"Come in."

The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up, revealing a small wheat colored robust arm where his forearm had just reached. His two arms were tucked into his belt, and at this moment, his back was facing the door as he looked out the window. That back view was somewhat lonely and desolate.

This was what Xu Ran saw when she entered the room. She came in, took only a few small steps, then stopped and stood still.

When Guan Jingyi turned around and saw Xu Ran, who had taken off her makeup, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xu Ran had changed into a cotton nightgown with long sleeves. However, the skirt wasn't very long. It had just reached the level of her knees. Although it was late autumn, the main house's heating system was always very good. Even if one walked around barefoot, there was no need to worry about the cold feet.

Her hair was long and straight, and she didn't like bangs, nor did she like hair color or perm, so over the years, her hairstyle had remained almost the same, either in the middle or in the wrong direction. The facial features of the palm-sized face were very delicate. Although it was not considered outstanding, it was still a very pleasant sight to watch. In particular, the pair of large, pitch-black eyes were exceptionally intelligent. It was very easy to express emotions, as if they were alive.

Guan Jingyi's lips curled up in a faint smile as he pointed to the chair and said, "Sit."

It was easy to see Guan Jingyi's character from the layout of the study. The solid wooden bookshelves exuded an ancient and heavy aura, just like the man, Guan Jingyi, who was firm, steady and solemn. Xu Ran had browsed through the books on the bookshelf a few times. Most of them were obscure and difficult to understand words, as well as some Latin and other ancient books.

"An'an." Guan Jingyi sat at the back of the table, facing Xu Ran. He leaned back in his chair, his eyelids slightly lowered and his tone emotionless. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. Did something happen to you? "

Although he didn't know much about Xu Ran and hadn't taken care of her in the past year of their marriage, he was, after all, someone who had been fighting in battlefields and shopping malls for more than ten years.

"No, Brother Yi." You don't think I had to go to the bar to dance because I was short of money. Ouch, how could it be? No matter what, I am still the housekeeper's young mistress. Living in such a big mansion, eating and living in it, I still have my fixed salary and freely squander it, hehe. " As she said this, Xu Ran squinted her eyes and smiled. Her eyes took the shape of a moon bud, and her eyes sparkled like stars in the sky. The dimples around her lips were very beautiful.

"Really?" Guan Jingyi raised his eyebrows and looked into Xu Ran's eyes. It was clear that he did not believe what Xu Ran had said.

"Of course it's true. But that was only one of the reasons. More importantly, didn't I tell you in the car that there were a lot of handsome men in the bar? If you go there, drink, sing, and dance, that would be a relief to you. "I've always been immersed in my work, and all I saw in the hospital was death, injury, sickness and disability. How depressing, I have to give myself an outlet to find some fun."

Guan Jingyi's fingers knocked on the desk very rhythmically, and then his eyelids dropped. "Then you should also …"

"I know, Brother Yi. I will protect myself from being taken advantage of. I understand all that. "What's more, I'm already 22 years old this year …" Xu Ran puffed out her chest and patted it confidently like she was promising her parents that she would never eat candy again.

Even though Xu Ran's tone was firm, it was hard to tell if she had really set her heart on it. On the other hand, Xu Ran's nose soured. The concern behind the words of official Jing Yi was obvious, but the more he was like this, the more upset Xu Ran was.

"That's right, she is indeed a big girl." The corner of Shangguan Jingyi's lips curled up into a smile. He looked at Xu Ran's small face and paused for a moment before continuing, "Shen Cheng has been very free lately. If you really want to find some fun, bring him along."

The implied meaning behind Guan Yi's words couldn't be any clearer. If she wanted to go to the bar again, she would have Yu Cheng watch over her. Like this, the job of dancing, Xu Ran Ran, couldn't even think about it anymore.
