Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
Luan Ran had a quarrel with her mother and officially stood on the opposite side. She couldn't go back to the Luan family or the Luanshan Group. She was
very angry at the time, but after one night, Luan Ran figured it out. Quarreling with her mother was like hitting a rock with an egg. She couldn't gain any advantage by continuing to confront her
head-on. Things had become like this. She could only take advantage of the current situation, play psychological warfare, observe her mother's movements, and then make plans for the next step. Not going to work in Luanshan doesn't mean that Luan Ran has nothing to do. She has a lot of investments on her hands, and there is a class reunion in the evening. She also has a position with Luan Yan, who will pay her salary. If she is really free, she can also help Luan Yan fight for resources. Many of her classmates are in the entertainment industry, just like Xi Shangchen. It is difficult for Luan Ran to stay at home and take a vacation.
Unfortunately, she met a difficult person.
Enemies often meet on a narrow road. Luan Ran's engagement party was held, and all contact information was blocked, but Su Lixi had not given up, or rather, he was still upset. Luan Ran was stopped by him in the parking lot.
"Su Lixi, why are you so idle?"
Luan Ran crossed her arms and leaned against the car window to look at Su Lixi, who looked like a decent man. She didn't know what to say to him. He was really haunting her. Wherever she appeared, Su Lixi would always get involved, for fear that he would not find a sense of existence in her presence.
Su Lixi was not young. Some of his cousins of the same generation were married and had children, but he was like a genetically mutated alien.
"I hope you can open your eyes. Even if you want to arrange a marriage, don't look for a scumbag like Xi Shangchen. You said I was pretending, but he is more hypocritical than I. On what basis can he be engaged to you?"
The word "scumbag" annoyed Luan Ran. She raised her eyebrows, her eyes were sharp, and she said coldly, "Su Lixi, you don't need to tell me who Xi Shangchen is. He is my fiancé, and I protect my shortcomings. Don't let me hear you making up stories about him outside; otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
This was the coldest tone Luan Ran had ever spoken to Su Lixi, and Su Lixi was very hurt: "You defend him so much, but you never treated me like this when we were together."
"I will protect my people if I am happy. Don't make trouble for no reason. I tolerate you not because I am afraid of you, but I just don't want to make things too awkward with your family." Luan Ran added, "Also, we have never been together. We are just blind dating. You should understand this."
Su Lixi was not the person she had the shortest blind date with. Not including the time when he harassed her, it was about two weeks in total. He was a spoiled child. Because of his wealthy family and his parents' doting, he only grew in age but not in mind. He was almost thirty and still did not work every day. He showed his big son's temper. Luan Ran couldn't stand it in the first week. If Luan Suqing hadn't forced him, he wouldn't have lasted two weeks.
After Luan Ran finished speaking, she took a step forward and was dragged back by Su Lixi. he backed the car hard, and she felt pain.
Su Lixi pushed her against the car door, stared at her with a hurt look, and said, "I don't believe it. You and he are just playing around. How can you have any feelings for each other?! Luan Ran, if you want to piss me off and say these things to me on purpose, then you got what you want."
Luan Ran felt a dull pain on her back. She saw that Su Lixi didn't want to let her go. There are physiological differences between men and women. She is not at an advantage in terms of physical fitness. If Su Lixi really wanted to do something to her, she couldn't resist. There was no one else in the parking lot. If she quarreled with him, she would get nothing.
Luan Ran didn't know how she had offended this psychopath. She looked at several corners and made sure there were surveillance cameras. She reached into her bag and grabbed her phone, warning: "Su Lixi, I don't think you like me that much, you just can't accept that I don't like you. There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. If you don't leave, I will call the police. You can go to the police station and confess your love, say these lines, and then ask your parents to protect you."
As soon as Luan Ran finished speaking, Su Lixi was pushed away from the side.
He staggered and almost fell to the ground. He stood up and saw that the person who pushed him was Xi Shangchen.
"When did you come?" Luan Ran was more surprised to see Xi Shangchen than to see Su Lixi. If he hadn't appeared, Luan Ran should have called the police by now.
Xi Shangchen's eyes were like a lake, so gentle that they made people tremble. He smiled softly and said, "Maybe it was when you said... You were very protective of your shortcomings."
They had a common friend. Xi Shangchen knew it was not difficult for her to come to the class reunion. He arrived very early. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Su Lixi stopping her, and then heard her words defending him. So he listened to her and Su Lixi talking silently. When he saw Su Lixi pulling her, he couldn't help but rush up.
The boredom of the whole day was diluted by her few words. He never thought that there would be someone who would protect him like this.
Luan Ran complained coquettishly, "Why didn't you come earlier! He pestered me for a long time. Xi Shangchen, you are so annoying."
Xi Shangchen felt very comfortable with this tone and said with a doting smile, "It's my fault. I will pay attention next time."
"You..." Su Lixi pointed at the two of them with a hurt expression on his face.
"I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Su. We are not just playing around. We are truly in love. Ranran slept at my house last night, and tonight...may sleep at my house again." Xi Shangchen put his arm around Luan Ran's shoulders and held her in his arms.
Luan Ran had never been hugged by a man before, and she felt uncomfortable. Xi Shangchen lowered his head and said, "You said so, right?"
What is it? Who is truly in love with him? It sounded as if she was having an affair with him.
But she complained countless times in her heart, but Luan Ran didn't refute it. She had already tacitly agreed with what Xi Shangchen said.
Su Lixi didn't know what tacit consent meant. His brain circuit was different from others. He immediately said, "Luan Ran doesn't even bother to pay attention to you. Your marriage will be cancelled sooner or later."
He hit the point that Xi Shangchen cared about the most accurately. Xi Shangchen's eyes suddenly turned cold. The fake smile couldn't melt the coldness in his eyes. He sneered, "It was my negligence that I didn't invite Mr. Su to the engagement. Ranran and I will definitely invite Mr. Su to the wedding banquet. Please prepare a wedding gift to congratulate us."
The last time they met was in a bar. At that time, Xi Shangchen and Luan Ran had a mediocre interaction. Now it's different. The gunpowder smell between the two is so strong that Luan Ran can feel it. Xi Shangchen is obviously angry.
Although his expression did not change and his face was normal, Luan Ran knew that he was unhappy.
If Xi Shangchen were to interpret his feelings, there is another word for his mood, which is jealousy. He is not happy that there are men pestering Luan Ran. He will be annoyed if they look at her with admiring eyes for a second. He thinks he has a strong ability to control his emotions, but he is always easily swayed in front of Luan Ran, and he is becoming more and more unable to restrain himself.
"Are you really going to marry him?" Su Lixi asked Luan Ran in disbelief.
Without waiting for Luan Ran to reply, Xi Shangchen pushed Su Lixi away again, half-dragging and half-hugging Luan Ran away from the parking lot, and clasped her shoulder with a big hand, so hard that he seemed to crush her into his arms. He didn't want to hear Luan Ran's answer. If she couldn't say what he liked to hear, he would rather she didn't say anything.
It's better than being introduced to some rich daughter of an aristocratic family by her, and breaking off the engagement one after another. In the end, even the identity of her fiancé was not lost.
After leaving the parking lot, Su Lixi didn't catch up. Xi Shangchen stopped but didn't loosen his hand. He put his arm around her shoulders and said seriously, "I think I need to explain what happened this morning."
Luan Ran didn't want to talk about this topic. She felt shy when she thought about it now, so she said hurriedly, "No need to explain. I guess someone must have misunderstood those things. I don't mean to blame you. We are an engaged couple to the outside world. It's normal for others to think we did that. Forget it."
It's easy to guess. Xi Shangchen is not so stupid that he would make such a mistake. He is not that kind of person. Luan Ran used her brain to think and guessed most of it right.
Zhou Bai made a mess, but he also assisted once. He accidentally made Luan Ran realize that she had a high tolerance for Xi Shangchen. Not every blind date was like Su Lixi, but her longest record was only a month. Most of them were because of trivial matters. If there was anything that made Luan Ran dissatisfied, she would end it directly without giving any chance.
Some men said that she was nitpicking and finding faults, but it was not the case with Xi Shangchen. She didn't hate him for being naughty, and she didn't get angry when he made that kind of misunderstanding. She could accept any intimate behavior of Xi Shangchen and even felt embarrassed...
This was not Luan Ran.
Xi Shangchen looked at her deeply and said, "Besides that, there is one more thing to explain, a very important thing."
Luan Ran tilted her head and listened attentively.
Because of her cuteness, his eyes slowly lit up a little bit, and when he met her eyes, he would become particularly gentle. With a gentle and handsome appearance, his eyebrows revealed a little bit of impropriety. He said: "That bottle of medicinal oil has nothing to do with me. I will never use it. Miss Luan, please rest assured about this."
What should she rest assured about? This man is teasing her again! Do you think she can't hear it?
"Is this the important thing you said?!"
Xi Shangchen raised the corners of his mouth and said: "It's about dignity, the most important thing."
The more intense her reaction, the happier Xi Shangchen was, and the bad mood that was provoked was swept away.
Since meeting Xi Shangchen, Luan Ran blushed much more frequently.
But even if he was improper, Luan Ran didn't hate it. Xi Shangchen gave her a feeling that others didn't have, which could not be shared or replaced. Thousands of words could not explain one of them.
To her, Xi Shangchen was different from anyone else.
