aking a small box and placing it by his pillow.The next second, he pressed her down onto the pillow and kissed her.Mingzhu felt sorry for him. She wasn't unwilling, but she could see that he was very...After asking, Li Siqi also felt a little regretful.

To her surprise, Anran didn't get angry. Instead, she replied politely, "Even if my skills are good, they can't compare to the chef in the Huo family."

Li Siqi was disappointed.

She wasn't discouraged: "So what you're saying is that you find me charming"

Anran's chopping movements paused for a moment, then she chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe his eyes weren't working very well at the time! Never mind, it's all in the past!"

Li Siqi used a small toothpick to pick at her favorite fruits.

She leaned against the back of the sofa, staring intently: “But you have a child! Think about it… As long as you have a child, things will get complicated. What if Huo Yunsi comes to see Lin Xi one day when it's dark and stormy, and God helps with some heavy rain You let him stay over, he takes a shower, and his clothes are wet… I don’t believe that a 30-something year old man like Huo Yunsi can resist. Once this happens, he'll have to take responsibility."

"You've got quite the imagination," An Ran still smiled gently.

Li Siqi became interested: "That's right! What kind of person am I... Anran, let me tell you, when I was with that old man, he really knew how to do things! There were a lot of women coming and going around him. I found that every one of them was broken within a week without being the same. He was so promiscuous."

"Then you still like him so much!"

He's so generous! >

"You're not short on money... are you"

……

Li Siqi was unhappy.

She hummed softly, “If you need money, why don't you ask Huo Yunsi I bet if you just say a few sweet words, Huo Yunsi will still put down his proud ego for you. Just shower him with some affection! A wealthy young master like him is all about appearances.”

An ran continued to chop the vegetables.

Well, after Huo Yuns thought secured the cooperation with Zhongtian, they really had no way out.

At that time, she went to the Huo family.

She told him that she could leave Gu's Group after helping Mr. Gu, but Huo Yunsi didn't accept it.

At that moment, she knew he was serious.

Trillions of dollars in cooperation, how could it be a joke!

Anran remained silent.

Li Siqi cried out again, "Hey, you wouldn't really give up Huo Yunsi and follow that old geezer, would you! Anran, I have to tell you, that old geezer refuses to get married. Following him, you'll only get some dirty money, nothing else!"

Anran asked, "Is that from your experience"

Li Siqi blew up.

She crunched on the chips, her teeth gritted. "An Ran, what do you mean! You're always so harsh to me! But in front of Huo Yunsi, you act like a little lamb, all innocent and adorable."

Anran served a plate of hand-cut mutton with prepared sauces.

Li Siqi took a bite, "So delicious!"

Anran smiled serenely: “In front of him, I’m not innocent or adorable at all! Forget about it… I’ll start cooking first. Dinner will be ready in half an hour.”

Li Siqi ate to her satisfaction.

In half an hour, Anran had made several dishes, both meat and vegetarian, which tasted very good.

She took out a bottle of liquor: "It's cold, have a drink."

Li Siqi exclaimed: “That bottle costs hundreds of thousands, Anran, aren’t you being too extravagant”

An Ran gently touched the bottle and smiled softly, "It was sent by the winery Mr. Gu often orders from. There are only two bottles in total."

Li Siqi looked at her with admiration: "Anran, do you treat that old man as your ATM"

Ann also didn't hide it from her: "Being by Mr. Gu's side has brought me quite a few benefits."

"Greed!"

Li Siqi muttered as she poured herself a drink and downed half the glass in one gulp.

"This wine isn't drunk like that."

Li Siqi didn't care, "Anyway, I'm staying with you tonight! I know you're just as lonely and cold as I am... Anran, don't pretend, you're always putting on a show! I think you were a little cuter before, Huo Yunsi doesn't want you, and you still dare to chase after him... Back then, when you had nothing, you were really brave. Now you're not cute at all!"

An Ran's face was serene.

She recalled past events and poured herself a small half-cup, taking a sip.

She didn't want to get drunk, she was very restrained.

Li Siqi was different. She leaned on An Ran, getting herself completely drunk before the midnight bell rang. She lay on the table, mumbling "Old thing" to herself.

An Ran looked at Li Siqi, who was drunk out of her mind, and shook her head—

Still holding on!

She went to the bathroom and wrung out a towel, then crouched down and wiped Li Siqi's forehead.

His hand was caught.

Li Siqi opened her eyes, her flushed cheeks reeking of alcohol. She mumbled, "What are you doing here I'm getting married... Who needs your concern, Gu Yunfan I don't need you. We're done... Roads go their separate ways from now on."

Anran was utterly helpless.

She coaxed him for a few moments, trying to get him into the bedroom. Once he fell asleep, she thought he'd be quiet, but Li Siqi was restless. She pulled at the table and demanded more to drink.

Just when An Ran was at a loss, Li Siqi's phone rang.

The caller is Gu Yunfan.

Li Siqi touched for a long time but couldn't find her phone. She started making a fuss: "Anran, it must be that old geezer calling me. You answer and listen to what he says. Is he crying and kneeling, begging me not to get engaged Does he regret it Does he even want me to be his wife… but just can't bring himself to admit it, Anran Ask him for me."

Li Siqi, as she spoke, burst into tears.

Anran didn't feel good either.

She lightly patted her back and took the phone: "Mr. Gu."

Gu Yunfan was taken aback and looked at his phone again. It was indeed a call from Li Siqi.

Anran didn't beat around the bush. She said softly, "She's at my place, drunk and making a bit of a fuss now."

There was a moment of silence.

"Speak again, Gu Yunfan's voice was a little hoarse: 'I'll be there in half an hour, you help me take care of her... Anran, thank you.'"

He knew Li Siqi's temper.

He also guessed Li Siqi's thoughts, but... he wasn't her soulmate.

An Ran was quite surprised.

She didn't expect to run into Gu Yunfan in City B. After a moment of shock, she nodded and said, "Okay! Happy New Year, Mr. Gu." Then she hung up the phone.

Over there, Gu Yufan put down his phone.

He stood in front of the villa where Li Siqi lived. He had come to city B on a whim, simply wanting to see Li Siqi and make sure she was doing well. If he could even catch a glimpse of her… he’d give her another New Year's red envelope.

That way, they can consider it a clean break.

But obviously, Li Siqi did not come out, even though she had seemed tough before.

Gu Yunfan leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette before getting in. He wasn't in a good mood while driving. He thought to himself that he hoped Li Siqi would have a good ending. She was beautiful and kindhearted, it would be a shame for her to follow him.

Half an hour later, he came to Anran's house.

Anran opened the door for him and stepped aside to let him in. "Mr. Gu…"

Gu Yunfan knew what she wanted to say.

He walked to the sofa and sat beside Li Siqi, gently touching her forehead...oting knew this well.Lu Qian hugged his son and left, braving the light snow. As he got into the car, Liu, the secretary, couldn't help but say, "It's not time yet, why did you come out"Lu Qian took o...
