Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
The reason he got engaged to Luan Ran was that it was profitable. Luan Ran needed a fiancé, he needed Luanshan Group, and he also needed a fiancée. As for getting married, Xi Shangchen had never considered it. He had never planned to spend the rest of his life with someone. Marrying Luan Ran was also a stopgap measure. He only considered how to break up in the future.
Now that Xi Shangchen thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to hate marriage. To be more precise, he didn't hate his marriage with Luan Ran. If he had to have a partner in the future, he hoped that this person would be Luan Ran. Apart from her, he couldn't imagine another person spending his life with him.
Future wife, these five words, automatically matched Luan Ran in his mind.
But what did she say now? She wanted to break up with him?
Haha, giving up was not in Xi Shangchen's dictionary, and he would never do business at a loss.
Luan Ran felt embarrassed and cleared her throat, saying, "Forget it if you don't want it."
The atmosphere in the car was a little weird. Luan Ran felt awkward. She was not used to this atmosphere. After a while, she said, "Xi Shangchen, which hotel are you going to take me to?"
Xi Shangchen actually smiled, "What do you think?" Luan Ran smelled danger from his smile...
Xi Shangchen was driving in the direction of his home. Luan Ran reacted and said, "Xi Shangchen, are you really going to take me to your home?!"
Going to his home means being with him day and night. When Luan Ran thought about living with Xi Shangchen every day, her heart was in a mess. This mess was not disgusting, but a panic and tension. Her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Xi Shangchen didn't say anything. Anyway, she got into his car, the steering wheel was in his hands, and he had the final say on where to go. No matter whether Luan Ran paid attention to him or not, or whether she wanted to break up with him, she would have to live in his house in the end.
Luan Ran was taken back to his apartment by Xi Shangchen.
In this way, the two began a half-kidnapped and half-willing cohabitation life.
Luan Ran sat on Xi Shangchen's bed with his arms around his chest, and said angrily: "I said I won't come to your house."
Xi Shangchen didn't take it seriously, rolled up his sleeves, and poured a glass of cold water.
"You are here and sitting on my bed. You should consider how much rent is appropriate for me. Friendly reminder, my home is one of the most expensive places in the capital."
"How can you force me to buy and sell like this! I didn't want to live in your house. You kidnapped me! You should understand that you insisted that I live here. I didn't beg you to come." Luan Ran was so angry that her eyes were wide open. She was not a thin-skinned person, but after meeting Xi Shangchen, blushing became a habit.
Xi Shangchen sighed in his heart. He knew that she would not be able to be persuaded with a few words. She was delicate and arrogant. She only took soft words and not hard words. What if he didn't take her home? Really let her live in a hotel? She was willing to stay, and Xi Shangchen was reluctant.
The two were in a stalemate, and Luan Ran was even more awkward.
After a while, Luan Ran's eyes flickered a few times, and he whispered, "It's okay to live here, but you have to give me a reason to live here."
Xi Shangchen was silent for a few seconds, and took a sip of the water cup with his slender hands, wet his lips a little, thought seriously, half bent down, and looked at her on the bed, and said, "You might as well rent my house instead of the money you spend on the hotel. It has appliances, property, and furniture, and it's cost-effective. It's better to let the hotel make money than to let me, your fiancé, make money. Do you think this account is right, Miss Luan?"
His serious eyes made Luan Ran's heart skip a beat. Her worries were justified. Living with Xi Shangchen was a very dangerous thing. People have protection mechanisms, and Luan Ran also has them. Her hard shell made her what she is now, and Xi Shangchen was the one who broke all her protective shells.
She didn't know how to deal with herself in such a panic. This was something she had never learned in the first 25 years of her course.
Luan Ran grabbed the edge of the bed, avoiding his eyes, and muttered, "I'm not short of money..."
"I'm short of money. Is this reason satisfactory to Miss Luan?"
Xi Shangchen followed her words and bent his waist lower, almost half squatting on the ground. Luan Ran didn't want to look at him, but she had to look at him. She had no way to hide.
Under his gaze, Luan Ran's defense line was precarious, her eyelashes trembled, and finally she bit her lip and nodded.
It's not that she really has nowhere to go. A hotel, a friend's house, or to her sister, anything is fine. Xi Shangchen has no right to restrict her personal freedom. She said she didn't want to go, but her body was very honest. What she needed was just a reason to make her nod. This "reason" doesn't have to be rigorous. It can even be as simple as a look.
Xi Shangchen smiled softly, and the arc drawn by his thin lips was raised high. This smile was not false at all, and his eyebrows were gentle. The whole handsome face was so beautiful that it was quite illegal.
Luan Ran asked embarrassedly, "How much is the rent?"
It was Xi Shangchen who asked for the money, but to be honest, he didn't like to settle accounts with Luan Ran, as if the only relationship between them was money.
He stood up, didn't answer, took out his cell phone and said, "Are you hungry? What do you want for dinner?"
Luan Ran said cunningly, "As long as it's not sold in a restaurant outside, anything is fine."
Xi Shangchen's hand stopped. He was planning to order takeout, but his Miss Luan liked to torture him.
Luan Ran thought he couldn't cook, but he didn't expect him to go into the kitchen after hearing that.
The refrigerator was full of things. He took out a few vegetables and pork, and skillfully washed the chopping board and meat dishes. It was obvious that he was a person who had been in the kitchen.
"You can cook too?" Luan Ran leaned against the door frame and asked in surprise.
"I learned it when I was studying abroad. I couldn't get used to western food, and the Chinese restaurants abroad were too bad, so I had to cook by myself."
When Xi Shangchen first went abroad, he couldn't adapt to the climate and foreign food, so he had to take some time every day to learn how to cook. After work, he rarely had time to cook. The dishes in the refrigerator were bought by the cooking aunt the day before yesterday.
As for why the aunt didn't come to cook today, there is no need to think about it, it must be Xi Shangchen's request.
Luan Ran frowned and muttered: "The information even wrote down the measurements, why didn't it say that he can cook..."
Xi Shangchen heard it clearly, he caught a very important word, raised his eyebrows and said: "Measurements?" Luan
Ran's expression froze, and he just ignored it, just as if he had never said anything about measurements. A man and a woman were alone in the same room, and Luan Ran would be crazy to talk to him about such an ambiguous topic.
She didn't want to talk, but Xi Shangchen wanted to.
Xi Shangchen handed her the apron and said, "I cook for Miss Luan for free. It's not too much to ask Miss Luan to help me put on an apron, right?"
This apron was not bought by Xi Shangchen. The pattern on it was a pink bear, which was seriously inconsistent with Xi Shangchen's temperament. It was hard to imagine what a handsome man would look like in a cute style.
Luan Ran chuckled, "Not too much."
Luan Ran rarely smiled so brightly. The last time was at that banquet, when she hugged her sister and talked and laughed. She smiled very delicately, with long hair draped behind her back and curved bright eyes. She looked cute no matter how you looked at her, cute from the heart.
It was rare for her to be so vulnerable when she was sitting in the passenger seat, but in comparison, Xi Shangchen liked her to laugh more. It didn't matter if she was confronted by her, or if she was arrogant, or if she showed her temper, anything was fine, as long as she didn't cry or feel sad.
"Are you happy?"
Luan Ran was stunned for a moment, and said softly, "Thank you."
She took the apron from Xi Shangchen's hand and helped him put it on.
In this way, the two of them must be very close. Xi Shangchen was facing her. The apron was cumbersome. After tying it, she had to tie it again in the opposite direction. Her hands had to go around and around, and finally around Xi Shangchen's waist to tie the last one, as if she was hugging him.
Her hair swept across Xi Shangchen's face, and he smelled her fragrance, which was light and light. He lowered his eyes and stared at Luan Ran's rosy lips, and suddenly smiled and said, "May I ask, is there a big difference between Xi's measurements and the data obtained by Miss Luan?"
Luan Ran felt that she had thanked him too early. This man was clearly a bad guy! What kind of questions are you asking!
