When Su Mu Ran got up, she discovered that she was actually sleeping on the bed, trying hard to recall if she was sleepwalking back to her bedroom from the study.

"Are you awake?" Bai Zi Yan heard movement inside the bedroom and walked to the door.

"Yes, yes." Su Mu Ran rubbed her messy hair and after being dazed for a while, she finally woke up. She suddenly opened her eyes: "You were the one who carried me in yesterday?"

"What? You think you can swim here in your dreams?" Bai Zi Yan saw through her thoughts and asked with a smile.

Su Mu Ran rubbed her hair with a blush.

"You didn't say you were coming back yesterday, so I thought you were." Before she left work, she received a call from him saying that she might not be back today, so she was confident that she could occupy the study all night.

"You don't want me to come back?" Bai Zi Yan glanced at her, his expression a little lonely.

"I …" Su Mu Ran was a little depressed. It was clearly his late return, why did she feel like she was wrong?

"Come, come and eat after washing up." After Bai Zi Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

"Bai Zi Yan!" Su Mu Ran fumed and realized that she was tricked. She was so annoyed that she hurried into the bathroom.

Bai Zi Yan smiled and shook his head, a smile sweeping past his eyes that he had not noticed.

At noon, Su Mu Ran went to the cafeteria and casually ordered some food before she started to eat. This morning, because of such an embarrassing thing, she didn't even eat breakfast before going to work dejectedly.

Today, she ate a little too quickly and choked on a few mouthfuls of soup. Just as she was barely able to finish eating a few mouthfuls, Bai Zi Yan's phone call came in.

"Hello." She patted her chest as she picked up the phone.

"What are you doing?" Bai Zi Yan faintly heard the voice and asked with a light smile.

"Eh." Su Mu Ran stared blankly, a mouthful of soup slid down her throat and she began to cough, her words stuttering, "I choked on my food just now."

"Yes." She lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red, and whispered, "Is something the matter?"

"Huh?" She almost jumped up and quickly covered the mouthpiece. She lowered her voice and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't even have the mental preparation for it, and I haven't even bought a gift yet. How about I buy one after work today?

Bai Zi Yan rubbed his forehead speechlessly. "Mu Ran, seriously, you don't need to buy anything, you just need to go over."

"But, I …"

"Be good and listen. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll hang up first." After saying that, without waiting for Mu Ran's reply, she turned her head and seemed to say something to the person beside him, and then directly hung up the phone.

Following that, Bai Zi Yan called his sister: "Remember to go meet Mu Ran at 5 PM."

"Are you really ready?" Bai Yin Yin asked.

Bai Zi Yan pursed his lips, a cold glint flashed past his eyes. "I will give Grandmother a huge gift."

Bai Family Hall

His clothes were fragrant and his hair was white.

Old Mistress Bai was dressed in a custom-made golden qipao, and sat in the room with Gao Lin Lin by her side.

"Xiao Lin, when will Zixiang be here?" the old man asked.

"Grandmother, after he finishes with the company's matters, he's coming over right away." Gao Lin Lin smiled along, "Don't worry, before you blow the candle, you will definitely make it in time."

The old mistress heaved a sigh of relief and smiled in satisfaction.

Qi Ru, who was seated on the other side, curled her lips. This old lady only had her big grandson in her eyes, other people were nothing in her eyes, but don't forget, her Zi Yu was also her grandson, she had never seen such an eccentric Grandmother.

"Aiyo, sister-in-law, I almost fainted from all the work. Did second brother say when he would come?" Gao Lin Lin asked deliberately.

Qi Ru rolled her eyes in her heart, "How would I know? He's a photographer, her movements are erratic every day."

"Sister-in-law, you're in the wrong. You have to be more concerned about Zi Yu. After all, he's your husband, unlike Zi Xiang. He even called me when he was late for social interaction."

Old Mistress Bai said: "Qi Ru, go and make a phone call and see if he's here today or not."

Qi Ru swallowed her breath and said awkwardly: "Yes."

"You have to learn from Linlin on how to do what a daughter-in-law should do." The Old Mistress Bai said.

Qi Ru forced out a smile: "I understand."

Gao Lin Lin pursed her lips in glee.

Old Mistress Bai looked at his second grandson's wife and said indifferently: "Make Zi Xiang come back more in the future, don't forget that he has a family."

"Yes." Qi Ru lowered her head and promised.

"Grandmother, I think it's about time. Zi Xiang and the rest should be here soon." Gao Lin Lin summoned the servants, allowing them to begin preparing.

"Mm, help me out." Old Mistress Bai stood up, and Qi Ru and Gao Lin Lin hurried forward, supporting her from left and right.

On the other side, just as Su Mu Ran was about to get off work, she called her. She told her that she had something to do tonight, and it was too late to pick her up.

As they walked out of the kindergarten, a beauty leaned against the side of the car. She wore a red evening gown, and on her shoulders was a tasseled shawl. Her skin was fair, and her tall figure paired with her curly hair was mature and alluring, attracting the attention of passersby.

"Yin Yin." Su Mu Ran recognized the young lady at a glance and walked closer with a smile.

"Sister-in-law." Bai Yin Yin blinked her eyes playfully and opened the car door, "My brother has matters to attend to, so please let me be your bodyguard today."

Su Mu Ran burst out laughing, the nervousness in her heart had dissipated by quite a bit.

"Do I need to change clothes?" Su Mu Ran uneasily pulled at the white dress on her body. This was the one she had changed in the toilet just now.

Bai Yin Yin looked up and down at her dress, then used her free hand to shake it, and said mischievously: "No need, you're so beautiful like this, it's only a birthday banquet for Grandmother, it's not some luxurious banquet. Mu Ran, don't be nervous, with Big Bro and I here."

Results

Bai Yin Yin drove the car into a villa, and what entered her vision were rows and rows of servants. And on the huge fountain plaza, were many good cars, which could not be described with just the word "luxurious".

Su Mu Ran glanced at Bai Yin Yin and innocently shrugged her shoulders. She rested her chin on her hands and thought for a while. "It's been a long time since I came here, two years probably."

Two years! Su Mu Ran could only sigh deeply in her heart. Lady, you can't play like this.

"Mu Ran, let's go. Don't just stand there, the wind is strong here." She gave the keys to the car to the servant, and affectionately pulled Su Mu Ran into the villa.
