"You wish!" Qin Ran bashfully hit him. Gu Lingfeng's meaning was that he had done him a favor, and he should have given him a kiss in return.

Although he didn't have much strength, Gu Lingfeng felt that Qin Ran was acting like a spoiled child. Alright, I won't joke around with you anymore, how about I send you home? " Gu Lingfeng changed the topic.

"No need." Qin Ran refused directly, "I don't want to go home right now. I want to relax outside. More importantly, I don't want to stay with you!" After speaking, Qin Ran stuck out his tongue.

From the looks of her eyes, it could be seen that since Qin Ran didn't want to stay with her, maybe she had somewhere else she wanted to go. If she forcefully followed him, perhaps she would deliberately find an excuse to deceive him, just like before, in order to push him away.

He rubbed her head and said gently, "Be careful on your way. I'll be leaving first."

"Oh." Qin Ran choked out a word before turning his head away awkwardly. He couldn't stand Gu Lingfeng's gentle attitude any longer and decided that he might as well not be as domineering as when he was in the VIP meeting room! What was she thinking! How could he be infatuated with Gu Lingfeng!

At the back of Gu Lingfeng's sight, the corners of Qin Ran's mouth unconsciously lifted up as his footsteps became lighter. Gu Lingfeng looked at Qin Ran's back and knew that she was definitely smiling, making someone happy and loving her. Gu Lingfeng had both his hands in his pockets as he stared at Qin Ran who was jumping up and down in the crowd.

After settling the matter with the newspaper, the first person to be notified was An Nuo. Qin Ran took out his cell phone and made a call to An Nuo, and soon, someone picked up. An Nuo's weak voice sounded on the other end of the phone, telling Qin Ran that she was in the hospital.

When he opened the door, there was only An Nuo lying alone on the bed. When he saw him come in, he was very happy, "You're finally here, did you know that I was bored to death by myself in the hospital? My mom gave me something to eat and then left, saying that he would come back to visit me in a bit, and that he would be gone for three hours without any news." Arnold pouted, a wronged look on his face.

"I just finished my work and ran over to find you as soon as I was done. How are you feeling now? Are you still not feeling well? " Qin Ran smiled. He pulled a chair next to the sickbed and sat down, asking with concern.

Normally, when he went out, Arnold would always paint her exquisite makeup, using cosmetics, and wearing clothes that were big brands, but now, his face was a little pale, and he was wearing a hospital gown that wrapped around her frail body until it was very small and thin. An Nuo shook his head, "I'm fine already, the doctor just said that I need to rest. And then my mother told the doctors to lock me up in a shitty ward and not to go anywhere. "

Seeing that she was still in the mood to grumble, Qin Ran heaved a sigh of relief. It didn't seem like he was just saying this to comfort her. She was just about to excitedly tell him that she had already settled the matter with the news, but suddenly she didn't know where to start. This matter was rather awkward, and if he knew, then it wouldn't be good to bring it up on his own accord.

Seeing that Qin Ran seemed to want to say something, An Nuo was stunned for a moment, as if he knew what Qin Ran was going to say. She smiled, "Do you want to tell me about the news?" Qin Ran didn't expect that An Nuo would take the initiative to mention it and stopped smiling. "Don't worry, it's nothing, just a little bit of a shock. Look at the blurry picture, it doesn't show my face, it only shows my back, I'm still wearing my usual clothes, and besides, I didn't mention my name. This will be over very soon, and besides, you have to stay with me, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Hearing her words, Qin Ran felt like crying. She had clearly come here to comfort her, but had actually been comforted by An Nuo. If this had happened to her, she would have been depressed to the point where she wanted to get rid of all contact with the outside world.

"An Nuo!" Qin Ran's touched voice was choked with sobs. Her good friend was indeed the same as him, a cockroach that couldn't be defeated.

Seeing Qin Ran so upset that he looked like he was about to cry, An Nuo wanted to sit up and hug her. He had just gotten up, but he didn't know which nerves he had touched. He started coughing. When Qin Ran saw this, he hurriedly comforted An Nuo and helped her sit up with his back against the wall.

"Listen to me, Ran. As soon as it happened, it happened. You don't have to worry about me. My only worry is that you won't misunderstand me. You have to believe that I went there for a reason and not for some illegal business." An Nuo, who was talking righteously just now, looked at Qin Ran with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Qin Ran nodded, "Don't worry, I always believed in you. I never suspected that you would have connections with those people."

Even if he had that one percent worry, as long as it came from An Nuo's mouth, Qin Ran wouldn't hesitate to believe her. Even that one percent worry had been dispelled.

"Oh right, how did you get there so late at night?" Qin Ran asked in confusion. After comforting An Nuo, she had completely forgotten her purpose in coming here. She didn't even mention anything about the newspaper.

At this point, An Nuo's expression became somewhat gloomy. "This actually happened like this?"

Just as she was about to explain, the door opened. An Ying's mother walked in from outside. She was stunned to see Qin Ran standing there.

When the elders arrived, the conversation between An Nuo and Qin Ran came to an abrupt end. An Nuo called out for her mother, while Qin Ran stood up and bowed slightly, shouting, "Greetings, Auntie."

Mother An didn't say a word. With a frosty face, she walked up to Qin Ran and slapped him.

Qin Ran didn't even have time to react before she was viciously slapped. Qin Ran raised his head and looked at Mother An with disbelief. The burning sensation on his face, as well as the pain from being scratched by the ring on Mother An's finger all reminded her that this was not a dream.

"What the hell are you doing!" An Nuo reacted faster than Qin Ran as he asked urgently.

"It's just a Qin Ran, look at how he caused you. If it wasn't for her, how could you still be lying in the hospital?! This is my revenge for you! " Mother An was extremely dissatisfied with her daughter's attitude. Even though she was clearly doing this for her own good, Anna Nuo still dared to speak to her in such a manner.

Qin Ran was a little confused. However, An Nuo was different from the others. Furthermore, she had taken responsibility for the matter of An Nuo. She had not protected An Nuo properly. Even so, after getting slapped like that, Qin Ran still felt wronged. She whispered, "I didn't."

"You still dare to quibble!" Mother An was a bit angry, so she waved her hand, wanting to give Qin Ran another slap.
