Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
Xi Shangchen held her hands, wanting to escape with a smile on his face. Her hands were clasped on his waist. His body temperature was transmitted from his palms to Luan Ran's heart, which made her feel excited. She could clearly feel his strong muscles, the strength of his waist, and how smooth his muscle lines were. She didn't have them, which were hormones that only men had.
To be honest, Xi Shangchen had a good figure. He paid attention to healthy exercise on weekdays. His muscles were strong and firm, with broad shoulders and a strong waist. He was not like those men who talked about business in the bar, nor was he a young man who only trained his muscles. Among the list of girls, he best met Luan Ran's requirements.
"It's about the same." Luan Ran blushed and said unhappily.
Xi Shangchen let go of her hand and pretended to be elegant, as if the hooligan behavior just now was not done by him, and said: "Then is Miss Luan satisfied with me?"
Luan Ran was not Luan Ran if she told the truth. She would not let Xi Shangchen be proud. After tying the last strap of her apron, she raised her eyes, pure and delicate, and said coldly: "For the time being, it has not surpassed the one I am most satisfied with."
"Who are you most satisfied with?"
Xi Shangchen knew that she would not say anything to praise him, but he never expected that she would mention other men. accidentally hit Xi Shangchen's nerves. He cared a lot about this man who had a place in Luan Ran's heart. He had already started searching for all the men she had dated in his brain, even the one who came to pick her up at the airport that day.
Luan Ran did not answer, but raised her little face harmlessly and tormentingly and said: "Xi Shangchen, I'm hungry."
Xi Shangchen stared at her for a long time and reluctantly went to cook for her.
A long time later, Luan Ran got to know Xi Shangchen's family and found out that he had several sets of aprons. Most of them had simple patterns. The pink bear was the fanciest one and the most complicated one to wear!
Xi Shangchen, a "good man" with a lot of bad intentions. There
were three dishes in total, plus a bowl of clear soup.
Xi Shangchen's cooking skills were good, better than Luan Ran had imagined, just like... he was a person with unexpected surprises.
After eating and drinking, Luan Ran praised him and said, "If Mr. Xi's cooking skills are included in your information, it will also be a plus. You won't have to worry about finding a young lady from aristocratic family to marry. There will definitely be many..."
Luan Ran couldn't continue speaking halfway through.
Every time she mentioned the marriage of other young ladies from aristocratic families, Xi Shangchen's face changed. It was not like the gentle breeze he pretended to be. Luan Ran didn't understand. These words were not banned words. Why did he look unhappy? Her fiancée didn't say anything...
"You really want me to marry another woman?" Xi Shangchen frowned.
Luan Ran thought about it carefully, but it wasn't true. If Xi Shangchen was really engaged to another woman, she might not be happy. Luan Ran pouted and said, "I was praising your good marriage market, but you didn't appreciate it."
Wanting to push him to other women, doesn't it mean that she doesn't care about him that much? Who he marries, for her, Luan Ran, doesn't it matter?
Xi Shangchen had an unknown anger in his chest: "My market is not as good as Miss Luan's market. Seventeen blind date candidates are rushing to marry Miss Luan."
To be honest, Luan Ran didn't know how many men she had dated. Anyway, the longest one was only one month. In a few days, she would try her best to end the blind date with them. Xi Shangchen could actually accurately say the number seventeen, which shows how much effort he put in and how much research he did.
Luan Ran looked at Xi Shangchen with a puzzled look. She had never been in a relationship, but that didn't mean she was as slow as a piece of wood and couldn't see that something was wrong with Xi Shangchen.
At this time, things between them might have gone bad.
Xi Shangchen didn't continue the topic and took the dishes to the kitchen to wash.
...
In the evening, Xi Shangchen took Luan Ran downstairs to buy some daily necessities.
Luan Ran's decision to run away from home was a temporary decision. Xi Shangchen's family didn't have any women's products at all, and Luan Ran didn't bring her own underwear, so she had to go to the supermarket to buy some and make do with it.
The supermarket was having a special sale, and the place selling daily necessities was crowded.
Luan Ran finally got two towels, and Xi Shangchen said, "I have towels and toothbrushes at home."
"I'll buy them myself."
Luan Ran didn't want to use his, as it would make them look like a couple.
Xi Shangchen didn't say anything more. She wanted to buy them herself, so he couldn't be blamed.
Everyone was off work at this time, and the supermarket was having an event. This was the largest supermarket nearby, so there were inevitably many people shopping. He stretched out his arm and carefully helped her separate from the crowd. With his body protecting her, it was not easy to bump into her in the crowded crowd.
Protected in his arms, Luan Ran realized that Xi Shangchen's figure was very different from hers. He was not a muscular man, but he was tall, with long arms and legs, and he easily surrounded her.
This was the first time Luan Ran was protected when there were many people.
In front was the daily necessities area, which was crowded with people. On the shelves were women's hygiene products. Xi Shangchen thought she was embarrassed to ask, so he asked in a considerate way: "Do you want to buy it?"
Luan Ran puffed up her little red face and said, "No!"
She was going to buy it originally, because her menstrual period was about to come, but when he asked her, she was embarrassed.
Luan Ran bought a few sets of underwear for replacement, two nightgowns, some facial cleansers and shampoo and hair care products, as well as large and small bags of snacks.
After returning home, Luan Ran walked into the bathroom in the living room with her pajamas.
She unpacked the towel and toothbrush, and then took a look at the towel hanging on the shelf and the towel in her hand. Except for the different colors, the patterns were the same...
Luan Ran made a special trip to buy them just to avoid using couple's towels with Xi Shangchen, but what was the result? She seriously suspected that Xi Shangchen did it on purpose! She didn't know what his towels looked like, so how could he not know?
Xi Shangchen stood outside the door and said with a smile: "So Miss Luan went to so much trouble just to use the same one with me. I am flattered."
Luan Ran glared at him and slammed the bathroom door shut. The door panel banged and opened again. Luan Ran realized that the door could not be locked and was difficult to close tightly.
"Xi Shangchen, your house is so luxurious, and the door is broken?"
Luan Ran found it hard to believe that the bathroom door of the apartment, whose property fees were so expensive every year, could not be locked. How could this house be so expensive? Is it worth the price?
Xi Shangchen, the landlord, said that he was very worthy of it. He pointed to the ceiling and said, "It's God's will."
Whether Luan Ran believed it or not, Xi Shangchen could swear to God that he did not deliberately break the door lock. The door of the bathroom was broken before Luan Ran moved in. Xi Shangchen could only answer that it was God's will. In fact, some things might be destined. From the moment they met, from the moment their names were bound by the marriage contract, some things were decided.
"I'll have someone fix it tomorrow. You can go to the bathroom in my room to take a shower. I have no objection." Xi Shangchen spread his hands. The room Luan Ran lived in was a guest room without an independent bathroom. If she didn't use it, she would have to use the one in his room.
"Such an expensive house has so few bathrooms. I don't know why it's so expensive. The price-performance ratio is not high. What a big profiteer..."
Luan Ran complained in a low voice. After complaining, she closed the door and used a stool to slightly support the door frame to prevent the wind from accidentally blowing the door open. She was not worried about whether Xi Shangchen would do anything to her. In her subconscious, Xi Shangchen was trustworthy.
Xi Shangchen thought that she still needed a hair dryer, so he took out the hair dryer in the room, sat on the sofa alone, with his back to the bathroom door, and called his assistant Zhou Bai.
Every worker doesn't want to receive a call from the boss at the end of the work day. It's as terrifying as the midnight ring. Zhou Bai prepared himself mentally and answered the phone resignedly, "Boss, are you working overtime? I'll be at the company right away!"
"No." Xi Shangchen tapped the back of the phone with his index finger, as if he were hesitating. Finally, he said, "Do I have any important plans tomorrow? If not, I won't come to work tomorrow. You handle it. Don't contact me, and don't let anyone else contact me."
