C30 What a Silly Girl

"Grandfather, I'm full. I'll go upstairs first." Xu Ran put down her chopsticks and placed her hands on her knees, waiting for her grandfather's response.

His grandfather smiled, still as amiable as ever. This time, he didn't let Xu Ran go upstairs so early. Instead, he said to her, "Little An An, you stay here a bit too. Grandpa has something to say to you two."

"Shangguan Lifeng's grandmother, Miss Cui Yun, is also Jingyi's father's first wife. I presume that An An hadn't met her before?" Grandfather smiled at An An.

An'an shook her head. She didn't know that Guan Jingyi's father had been divorced. Presumably, this was the reason why Shangguan Lifeng said that Jing Yi was an illegitimate child.

"Tomorrow, can I let Jing Yi bring you to meet him?" Grandfather continued to ask.

Xu Ran didn't know how to reply. She turned her head to look at Jing Yi. Jing Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "That's fine."

He knew what the old man was thinking. Since Shangguan Lifeng dared to touch Xu Ruan, this matter had spread to the old man's ears. As long as Xu Ran appeared tomorrow, it meant that she would follow the old man's wishes.

When the two of them returned to their room, Xu Ran asked, "I must go with you to see that Cui — — aunt tomorrow?"

Guan Jingyi pulled at the gap in his tie and lazily glanced at Xu Ran who was standing beside the bed. He noticed that she was also taking off her sweater.

As the temperature outside was very low and this girl was extremely afraid of the cold, she wore a lot more than normal. Underneath the sweater was a close-fitting white shirt. However, the main house's temperature was constant. It was warm, so naturally, she was hot.

The collar of the sweater wasn't considered small, but the gap was still there. The black clip, which was used to pin the hair on her head, caught the sweater and pulled at it. Her hair hurt, but Xu Ran couldn't see or feel it.

The official's voice sounded from above them, sounding a little disdainful. "Why are you so stupid!" As Guan Jingyi said this, he reached out his hand to the place where the black hair clip and the sweater were fighting.

"Back then, my father's first wife was Cui Yun. She was forced into marriage by my grandfather just like you and me. Her father didn't love her, so the marriage ended in failure. And I was born to my father's second wife. All these years, Cui Yun and I, aside from having a connection with our grandfather and family, have never been on the same side in everything else. "

"Then why does Grandpa want me to go …" Xu Ran was even more puzzled now.

"Let's get to know each other. Living together with me, I want to get to know the enemy so that I won't be so stupid as to jump into a hole dug by others." "He even helped him count the money after being sold."

Xu Ran: "…" This man was truly arrogant.

These words were obviously meant to ridicule her for what had happened with Li Feng. Xu Ran was not stupid!

Ye Zichen chucked the sweater onto the bed and looked at her slim figure, while Guan Jingyi's Adam's apple rolled up and down. As his two hands caressed her arms, Guan Yi suddenly scratched Xu Ran's nose and said with a smile, "What a silly girl!"

"You're the fool. I'm not stupid at all." Xu Ran rolled her eyes and said snappily.

Xu Ran woke up early in the morning and looked at the clock on the bedside. It was only around five o'clock and the sky was still dark outside. Once she had something in her mind, she would definitely wake up early and not be able to sleep. Thinking that he would have to follow Guan Jingyi there for a few days and that he might even meet that Shangguan Lifeng, Xu Ruan felt really uneasy.

He habitually looked in that direction. Shangguan Jingyi just happened to be sleeping on his side, and his face was facing Xu Ran. Afterwards, he could vaguely see Xu Ran's sleeping face in the dim light outside the window.

This was the first time that Xu Ran woke up in the morning and saw the sleeping face of Guan Jingyi.

It was very quiet, and his breathing was very steady. It was just a small military bed, and it was difficult for such a big man with long arms and legs to hold himself. His arms and legs were hanging outside. His facial features and the shape of his face were actually both exceptionally sharp. His experience as a soldier over ten years ago had already engraved his strength deep into his bones, so the corners of his face were naturally much more distinct than that of an ordinary person's.

The official scenery was similar to that of Xu Ran. He dared not approach her, yet desired to approach her.

Listening to the man's breathing become heavier, Xu Ran looked at her watch. It was 6 o'clock and the biological clock on the official scene should be right on time. She should be waking up soon.

Xu Ran rolled over, her back facing Guan Jingyi as she closed her eyes. However, his ears were smarter than when he was awake during the day.

Sure enough, she heard two creaking sounds from the camp bed, followed by the sound of Guan Jingyi quietly getting off the bed.

When he went to the washroom, he had to pass by where Xu Ran slept. He walked over and gently tucked Xu Ran's hand under the blanket.

Xu Ran, who had her eyes closed, could not help but tremble.

The sound of the bathroom door opening and closing rang out. The sound of running water could be heard inside the bathroom. Outside the bathroom, Xu Ran laid on the bed staring at the dark crystal lamp with her eyes wide open. Her mind was a mess.

She felt like she was being sucked into a huge whirlpool, and the more she struggled, the faster she would drown. She really hoped that there was someone who could save her now. Other than official scenery, anyone else was fine.
