After speaking, Ruirui looked up mischievously and asked Anran, "Mom, did I say it right?" Anran was now embarrassed and could only pat Ruirui's head and say, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"
The movie was about to start, which finally ended this awkward conversation.
Lu Yebai lowered his voice and said to Anran, "Don't take those jokes to heart." Anran nodded and said, "I know, don't misunderstand me."
At this moment, the entire cinema was pitch black, with only the movie screen lit up. In the dim light, Lu Yebai could vaguely see Anran's facial features. Anran had a delicate and beautiful heart-shaped face, and her serious and focused expression as she watched the big screen made Lu Yebai unconsciously stunned.
Realizing his reaction, Lu Yebai awkwardly withdrew his gaze and said, "I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding earlier." Anran calmly replied, "It's okay, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up."
After the movie was over, Anran was ready to leave, but Ruirui grabbed her hand and pulled her to eat ice cream. "Sister An, come and eat ice cream with me, okay? Ice cream is so delicious!"
When Ruirui was quiet, he was too quiet, but once he started acting cute, Anran had no resistance at all. Lu Yebai also noticed this and took the opportunity to invite them, "Let's go eat ice cream together! Ruirui rarely likes someone so much."
Anran couldn't refuse anymore and had to agree. Three of them came to an Italian ice cream shop. The child ordered a large limited edition handmade ice cream, which she shared with Ruirui. Lu yeBai didn't like desserts very much, so he ordered a cup of coffee and watched them eat on the side.
Ruirui pestered Anran and asked, "Auntie, didn't you promise me last time that you would come find me when you have time? I've been waiting for you for a week and I haven't seen you..."
As she spoke, Ruirui's eyes turned red and she looked very aggrieved, which made people feel sorry for him.
Anran felt a little embarrassed. Those words she said last time were just a casual remark to brush off Ruirui. She didn't really plan to go find him again.
At that time, Luye Bai had already suspected that she had ulterior motives. How could Anran dare to go to Ruirui again and again?
Wouldn't that deliberately make things difficult for Luye Bai? She couldn't afford to offend Luye Bai.
So she just smiled and said, "I've been busy with work lately and haven't had time to go."
Ruirui was very dissatisfied with this obviously perfunctory answer. he snorted and forcefully dug a big spoonful of cream ice cream and stuffed it into Anran's mouth, "You're lying! All you adults like to use this excuse to lie to people!"
Lu Bai was startled and quickly reprimanded Ruirui, "Ruirui, no messing around!"
He quickly took out a few tissues and wiped the cream off Anran's lips.
The warmth on his fingertips penetrated through the cold skin of her cheeks. The overly intimate contact made Anran feel a little uncomfortable. She just turned her head to avoid it, and saw a man and a woman walking into the shop at the door!
The woman was wearing a purple high-end dress, crystal high heels, and had a sexy and tall figure. Who else could it be if not Tang Yu?
Tang Yu was holding Fu Lengyu's arm, and the two of them were intimate like a couple shopping together. Fu Lengyu's face was cold and indifferent, but when facing Tang Yu, he rarely showed a few degrees of cold smile.
Tang Yu walked over with Fu Lengyu, wearing an elegant smile, and greeted An Ran, "It seems we have come at an inopportune time and disturbed Miss An and Ye Bai's date!"
As soon as Fu Lengyu heard this, he frowned and asked AnRan coldly, "Why aren't you going home after work? What are you doing here?"
The icy and disdainful words were spoken in front of so many people, making An Ran feel embarrassed and almost ashamed.
Lu Ye Bai calmly stood up and said to Tang Yu, "Miss An helped Rui Rui find his lost snow last time, and they happened to meet. Rui Rui invited her to have ice cream as a thank you. As for the date, Miss Tang should be careful with her words to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
After speaking, Lu Ye Bai also explained to Fu Lengyu that he did not want to involve An Ran because of himself.
"Well then, Miss Tang, why don't you join us here and we can share a table?" An Ran suggested.
Tang Yu's face looked a bit unnatural when she heard this. Although the displeasure in her eyes quickly disappeared, everyone present was sharp enough to see through her unhappiness.
Of course, Tang Yu was unhappy. She had finally managed to invite Fu Lengyu out, hoping to have some alone time to cultivate their relationship. But now it seemed...
Reluctantly, she replied, "Okay."
With four adults and one child, Tang Yu ordered a dessert and turned to Fu Lengyu with the menu in hand, "Yu, what do you want to eat?"
The intimate gesture made it seem like she wanted to stick herself onto Fu Lengyu's body. She even gave An Ran a suggestive look when no one was paying attention.
"Anything is fine."
"Is your new job going smoothly?" After ordering, Fu Lengyu naturally turned the topic to work. An Ran glanced at Tang Yu and really wanted to accuse her in front of everyone, but because of her current status, all she could say was, "It's okay."
No matter how much suffering and grievances she had, other people would probably just see it as a joke if they haven't experienced it themselves.
An Ran smiled on the surface, but no one knew the heaviness and hardship beneath her seemingly carefree demeanor. Fu Lengyu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at An Ran with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He had his own sources in the entertainment company he had just invested in, so he knew everything about An Ran's recent situation.
Fu Lengyu had originally thought that An Ran would take this opportunity to accuse Tang Yu fiercely, but he didn't expect her to not say a word of complaint. Thinking back to the time when An Ran worked overtime until midnight without saying much, Fu Lengyu thought to himself, what a stubborn woman!
However, this kind of stubbornness would only make a person more tired most of the time. Showing a little weakness at the right time was the mark of a wise woman who knew how to handle things.
"If there's anything you don't understand about work, you can tell me. I'll help as much as I can. Consider it as repaying the favor of helping Rui Rui," said Lu Ye Bai, looking at An Ran very seriously, his eyes firm and clear. No one would doubt the sincerity of his words.
An Ran also sensed Lu Ye Bai's sincerity and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness. If there's anything I need help with, I won't hesitate to ask. I just hope you won't find me annoying when that time comes."
The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Fu Lengyu looked at this scene and for some reason, he felt uneasy, even finding An Ran and Lu Ye Bai's laughter and conversation particularly irritating.
