Li Xiaoran no longer held back and began to order from the menu enthusiastically. After all, the prices here were incredibly cheap, and with her financial situation, she could definitely afford it.
After placing her order, Li Xiaoran started staring at Lan Baobao. She was genuinely curious about how the wealthy socialite Lan Baobao ended up alone with Mu Jiangfeng in such an ambiguous place.
"Li Xiaoran, can you please focus on eating?" Lan Baobao couldn't help but ask, feeling uncomfortable under Li Xiaoran's intense gaze.
"Hehe, Baby, how did you end up having dinner with Brother Mu?" Li Xiaoran asked out of sheer curiosity.
Gu Feng noticed that Li Xiaoran had asked the question he wanted to know first and immediately became alert. In a way, Lan Baobao was Gu Feng's lifeline; she was the only woman he was willing to protect with his life.
Lan Baobao stole a glance at Gu Feng before rolling her eyes at Li Xiaoran. This silly Li Xiaoran really couldn't read the room. How could she ask such a sharp question in front of everyone?
"And you? How did you end up with Gu Feng?" Lan Baobao skillfully shifted the topic, redirecting Li Xiaoran's attention. Gu Feng showed no surprise at Lan Baobao's words.
Mu Jiangfeng gazed intently at Lan Baobao. When Li Xiaoran asked that question, he felt a surge of hope. He hoped that Lan Baobao would tell Li Xiaoran they were together because she liked Mu Jiangfeng and wanted to spend time with him.
However, reality was cruel. Lan Baobao didn't say what Mu Jiangfeng had hoped for; instead, she calmly changed the subject and led Li Xiaoran into it. At that moment, Mu Jiangfeng felt a bit disappointed, but his desire to win Lan Baobao's heart grew even stronger.
"Um..." Li Xiaoran's face turned red as she stammered, unsure how to respond. Seeing her like this made Lan Baobao feel much better; this was how it should be. Good friends were meant to tease each other, and it was quite enjoyable.
"What do you mean by 'um'?" Lan Baobao wasn't going to let Li Xiaoran off the hook easily. Finally having a chance to tease her, Lan Baobao wasn't foolish enough to pass it up; she was ready to get even.
"It's just that during your wedding, Gu Feng helped me avoid a lot of drinks. That's why I didn't embarrass myself. So I decided to invite him out for a meal as a thank-you. I have a legitimate reason," Li Xiaoran emphasized earnestly, fearing that Lan Baobao might misunderstand. In reality, misunderstandings were often more affectionate than one could explain clearly.
"Oh," Lan Baobao elongated her tone with an ambiguous expression.
Just as Li Xiaoran was feeling shy from Lan Baobao's teasing, the waiter arrived promptly with their food. In her life, Li Xiaoran had never been so grateful for a waiter; their arrival was perfectly timed.
Lan Baobao realized that she had successfully shifted the topic and no longer pressed Li Xiaoran. After the waiter brought all the dishes, he started a new topic. However, only Li Xiaoran and Lan Baobao were engaged in the conversation. Gu Feng and Mu Jiangfeng quietly ate their meals without saying a word. If Li Xiaoran had been observant enough, she would have noticed that Gu Feng rarely moved his chopsticks and was simply sipping his cup of water.
Suddenly, music began to play. Lan Baobao hurriedly took out her phone and, upon seeing the caller ID, immediately hung up. Hmph, she wouldn't answer that call. As for Ye Zixun, whoever wanted to take his call could do so; it was ridiculous.
"Why didn't you answer?" Seeing that Lan Baobao had quickly hung up, Mu Jiangfeng gently inquired. In fact, just by looking at Lan Baobao's expression, Mu Jiangfeng guessed who had called. This question was merely an attempt to show more concern for Lan Baobao.
"Yeah, Baby, why didn't you answer the phone?" Li Xiaoran also expressed curiosity. Only Gu Feng continued to quietly drink his water, appearing indifferent.
"It was a wrong number; there are so many scammers these days. I figured it was a scammer, so I just hung up," Lan Baobao explained confidently. In reality, wasn't Ye Zixun just a scammer? She wouldn't let Yan Momo and Pan Xinzi bully her; that was nonsense—did they think she was three years old?
At the Ye Family Mansion, Ye Zixun, upon seeing the call had been disconnected, nearly spat blood in anger. How dare that damn Lan Baobao not answer his call? Very well. It seemed she was having too much fun with Mu Jiangfeng.
Just as Ye Zixun was about to dial again, a short ringtone sounded on his phone. He glanced at it in confusion and saw that he had received a text message. However, when he saw the sender's name, he accidentally fell off his chair.
He couldn't have read it wrong; the sender was actually Gu Feng. Wasn't Gu Feng someone who hated texting? Why would he suddenly send him a message? Was it going to rain red?
Opening the message, Ye Zixun slammed his hand on the table.
"You just called Lan Baobao, didn't you?" Gu Feng asked casually. Although it was a question, it carried an affirmative tone. Ye Zixun couldn't help but wonder how Gu Feng knew he had just called Lan Baobao. Could it be that Gu Feng was with her?
"How did you know?" Ye Zixun quickly replied to Gu Feng's message. After all, Gu Feng had always shown great enthusiasm for his wife. If they were together now, it would be inevitable for him to feel jealous.
"Lan Baobao just hung up on a call from a scam company," Gu Feng replied while keeping his hand under the tablecloth, deftly sending messages. A strange smile appeared on his lips; as expected, that call from earlier really was from Ye Zixun.
When Ye Zixun saw Gu Feng's reply, he gritted his teeth in anger. Great! So now even his esteemed calls as the young master of the Ye Family were being treated as scam calls by Lan Baobao. At this moment, however, he managed to remain surprisingly calm and began tapping on the touchscreen with nimble fingers.
"Where?"
"Starlight Restaurant." Gu Feng was very concise.
Ye Zixun, having received the information he wanted, tossed his phone into his pocket. He grabbed his car keys from the desk and headed out. He had to see what Lan Baobao was up to, especially since she was now involved with Gu Feng.
At Starlight Restaurant, the four of them were still leisurely eating. Anyway, Lan Baobao didn't want to go home at all; the longer she could stay out, the better. At that moment, Lan Baobao had no idea that Ye Zixun would actually come to Starlight Restaurant to find her.
"I'll go to the restroom for a moment," Li Xiaoran suddenly said, smiling apologetically at the three before leaving.
After a while, Li Xiaoran returned, and by then the four of them had almost finished eating. When she walked up to the front desk to settle the bill, she was informed that Li Xiaoran had already paid for the meal.
Hearing this from the front desk staff, Gu Feng looked at Li Xiaoran in surprise. In his memory, Li Xiaoran's financial situation wasn't very good. Even the usually composed Mu Jiangfeng was taken aback by this news; it was surprising that the young master of the Mu Family let a woman pay for their meal.
"Xiaoran, when did you settle the bill? We can't let you, a girl, treat us," Mu Jiangfeng said gently to Li Xiaoran.
"Hehe, it's nothing. Anyway, I already planned to treat Gu Feng to a meal. It's fine," Li Xiaoran replied with an embarrassed smile. In fact, she did it on purpose. By doing this, she would definitely leave a different impression on Gu Feng, and he would think of her as a special girl from time to time. Li Xiaoran chuckled mischievously in her heart.
Gu Feng recalled that Li Xiaoran had suddenly gone to the restroom during their meal and realized that she must have taken that opportunity to settle the bill. She really was a special girl.
Lan Baobao wrapped her arms around Li Xiaoran and leaned in close to whisper in her ear.
"Xiaoran girl, have you struck it rich?"
"Of course! I'm also aiming to become a wealthy lady," Li Xiaoran replied with a proud smile.
"Hey, not bad. I'm going to sleep at your place tonight. I don't want to go home." Lan Baobao took the opportunity to make a request to Li Xiaoran. She really didn't know how to face Ye Zixun right now.
Li Xiaoran looked at Lan Baobao in surprise, but a best friend is a best friend. When a friend is in trouble, they never ask for any reasons, so Li Xiaoran readily agreed to Lan Baobao's request.
"Baby, where do you want to go next? Or should I take you home now?" Mu Jiangfeng asked Lan Baobao with concern, his face full of affection.
Lan Baobao felt troubled. "Brother Mu, let's leave it at that for today. I had a lot of fun."
"Aren't you going back to Ye Family Mansion?" Gu Feng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up.
Lan Baobao was startled by Gu Feng's words. Anyway, she just didn't want to go back to Ye Family Mansion; she didn't want to see Ye Zixun.
"I'm not going back. I'm going to Xiaoran's place tonight," Lan Baobao said confidently. After all, Gu Feng had no right to interfere with her, and besides, she was still Gu Feng's lifesaver.
"Oh." Gu Feng's concern was evident, but he merely responded lightly. He glanced at his watch, calculating the time in his mind; if nothing unexpected happened, Ye Zixun should be arriving soon.
At that moment, a very harsh car sound rang out. Except for Gu Feng, the other three were startled. Lan Baobao couldn't help but curse inwardly; what a reckless person.
However, when the reckless person Lan Baobao referred to got out of the car, everyone was stunned. Especially Lan Baobao's classmates. Mu Jiangfeng glanced at Gu Feng without making a sound upon seeing Ye Zixun rushing over. If he guessed correctly, Ye Zixun was the one he had called here.
