Luan Ran x Xi Shangchen
Luan Ran officially moved into Xi Shangchen's home.
Since Luan Ran moved into Xi Shangchen's home, Xi Shangchen has been responsible for every dinner. The cooking auntie hasn't come for a long time. She gets paid for nothing but does nothing. But such a big house needs someone to clean it. Xi Shangchen's daily rest time is only enough to cook one meal at most. There is no other way, so he had to call the auntie back to take charge of the housework.
After Luan Ran ate the food cooked by the auntie, she didn't need Xi Shangchen to cook anymore. Xi Shangchen's food was delicious, but it was not as good as the professional housekeeping auntie who was trained and paid a high monthly salary. Secondly, Luan Ran didn't want to trouble him. She owed too much and didn't know how to pay it back. She couldn't buy his cooking skills with money. That was not appropriate.
But Xi Shangchen was not happy! Two days later, the auntie "resigned" and was replaced by a new auntie. It was a pity that this auntie couldn't cook, but only cleaned. As Guanghao's boss, he tried every means to cook for Miss Luan every day, but was still disliked by Miss Luan.
Luan Ran doesn't have to go to work at Luanshan Group every day, nor does she have to live under the powerful shadow of her mother. She has broken away from the boring, depressing, and heavy life before, and suddenly understands what freedom is, and how important freedom is.
The previous life was imposed on her by Luan Suqing, not what she wanted, including Xi Shangchen. Although Luan Ran didn't hate Xi Shangchen, the marriage contract forced by her mother always made her feel a little uncomfortable. She told her sister that it was okay, but in fact, how much she had endured and how much she had paid for this family over the years.
Luan Ran's fierceness is all on the surface. Only those who know her know how soft she is inside. She has never been able to make the decision since she was a child. In order to control her, Luan Suqing didn't allow her to move out. Her bedroom, office, and even bathroom had to be arranged according to Luan Suqing's ideas. When she grew up and made money, Luan Ran couldn't decorate a small nest by herself.
"Xi Shangchen, can I discuss something with you?" Luan Ran said to Xi Shangchen who was drinking porridge at the table.
"You say."
The wild nature is all accustomed to it. Luan Ran set her sights on his room. The decoration is very luxurious, but there is a problem with Luan Suqing; the style is too cold and hard!
Luan Ran looked around and said, "I don't like some of the furniture. I want to change it. Don't worry, I will definitely pay for it. The main thing is to change my own room."
Xi Shangchen never expected her to say this. This kind of déjà vu of the young couple decorating their new home, he stretched his eyebrows and said, "You can change anything you want, I have no objection."
With his permission, Luan Ran began to decorate the house from time to time, adding a rocking chair today, changing a sofa tomorrow, and asking Xi Shangchen if he could see the difference every time she changed something, and proudly showing him her results. What else can he say except praise her? He likes this feeling very much. Luan Ran will also say that it is well demolished when he demolishes his house.
Partiality and doting often happen in an instant.
Zhou Bai had a lot of complaints. Some time ago, his boss asked him every day if he had any social events. It would be best if the scale were large enough and the scene was big enough, and it was a formal occasion that required two people to attend. Now that Xiao Luan had moved into his house, he started to say that if it was not a necessary social event, he must not tell him. He was busy going home to cook after work early, and there were people waiting for him at home.
Zhou Bai didn't understand. It was just the step of holding hands, so why was there such a strong sour smell?
Xi Shangchen didn't mention the vacation to Zhou Bai later. Anyway, Luan Ran was busier than him. She went out early and came back late every day, busy with socializing, helping her sister negotiate resources, and paying attention to her mother's movements. Although Luan Ran was not in Luanshan, she had laid a good foundation in Luanshan over the years. She knew everything about the company's senior management transfers and regular meetings. Even
if Xi Shangchen wanted to make an appointment, Miss Luan might not be willing to go out with him.
After living together, not only did Luan Ran's life change, but Xi Shangchen's life was even more earth-shaking.
At night, around nine o'clock, Xi Shangchen was working in his study. Luan Ran knocked on the door. She was wearing the strawberry nightgown and poked her head out and said, "Xi Shangchen, did you miss your stomach medicine again?"
Xi Shangchen was stunned. She raised her chin and nodded, motioning him to open the drawer.
Xi Shangchen took out the stomach medicine and said, "I forgot."
Xi Shangchen's stomach disease was not acquired. He was born with a bad stomach and intestines. He was easily acclimatized to the local climate. There were many foods that he couldn't get used to. He was forgetful. Once he started working, he forgot to take medicine, let alone prepare medicine. Stomach pain was common. Over time, he got used to it. It didn't matter if it hurt a little. He just kept working.
"Mr. Xi, you are a forgetful person." Luan Ran watched him swallow the medicine through the door, and snorted: "Xi Shangchen, you are quite pretentious."
After that, Luan Ran left and closed the door of his study. This was a tacit understanding they had developed. When Xi Shangchen was working at home, she would not disturb him, but would remind him to take medicine and occasionally stand at the door to say a few words. They did their own things and did not interfere with each other. After
Luan Ran left, Xi Shangchen slowly thought that if he could get her care, it would be okay to be a little "pretentious". He had not enjoyed care for a long time, soft and warm.
Two hours later, Luan Ran ran to his study door and knocked on it again, her eyes sparkling, her soft hair loose, she leaned on the door and said: "Xi Shangchen, I ordered takeout, do you want to have a midnight snack?"
He closed his notebook and just stood up, Luan Ran immediately said, "Forget it, let's not delay Mr. Xi's work."
How could Xi Shangchen let her go? He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm. Her naked skin was in his palm, smooth and tender. His mind moved, his eyes changed instantly, and he said hoarsely: "Luan Miss, flirting and then running away is the behavior of a scumbag..."
The heat burned from his arm to his heart. Luan Ran pulled his hand back suddenly, without looking at him, and said calmly: "Let's have a midnight snack, I ordered soup for you."
The midnight snack was placed on the table. Xi Shangchen's was lighter. He didn't eat onions, ginger and garlic. Luan Ran even remembered this. She was sometimes fierce, but actually very warm and gentle. She looked delicate, but was actually tough and stubborn. She was proud but polite, careful and smart. When you really start to understand her, you will find how good she is.
Xi Shangchen's love for her increases a little every day, and he discovers different cute things about her.
Luan Ran bit her chopsticks and peeked at Xi Shangchen drinking soup. It was inappropriate to say that he was a gentleman. After all, he was sometimes too mean and liked to say things that made her embarrassed and angry. But he was so handsome. His hands holding the soup spoon were slender and white. He drank slowly and leisurely. His gentle and elegant posture was extremely noble, which hit Luan Ran's aesthetic point.
Remember, Luan Ran chose him as her fiancé because of such superficial reasons as coveting his body.
"Xi Shangchen."
"Hmm?" Xi Shangchen responded in a low voice. His eyebrows were slightly curved, his long eyelashes were raised, and his eyes were dark and bright. Under the light, the tenderness flowing in his eyes was clearly seen, which made people fall deeply into it.
Male beauty is sometimes a killer. Luan Ran blushed unnaturally and forgot what he wanted to say. After a while, he said, "Can I go into your study to read when I'm bored? I won't touch your other things. If not, just pretend I never said anything."
Xi Shangchen said without even thinking, "Yes."
He answered too quickly...
"Are you sure? I have a good memory and I can remember everything I see. If I accidentally see any important documents of yours, I will definitely not forget them."
"You can't open my computer. Don't worry too much."
"..."
This sounded a bit lacking, but not annoying. When he spoke, he had a confident look on his face, and his thin lips were upturned, full of charm. It was part of his character, more real and more moving than the side he pretended to be.
Luan Ran was inadvertently fascinated and was caught by Xi Shangchen: "Is there a flower on my face? Why do you like to look at it so much?"
Luan Ran immediately retorted: "No, and besides, I don't like to look at it."
"I don't, but Miss Luan does." Xi Shangchen took a tissue to wipe the soup stains on Luan Ran's cheeks, and chuckled in a low voice: "Little cat."
Luan Ran did not step back, but just looked into his eyes quietly. The light emanating from his eyes and the ambiguity in the room flowed in the air.
The fall is not something that can be manifested in a day or two. It is like stepping into a quagmire. The initial struggle seems so useless. Slowly sinking, being submerged when caught off guard, being deprived of breath, and drowning.
