"Are you leaving?" Li Ran appeared behind him, quietly following Gu Feng.
He was slightly surprised.
Lan Baobao walked silently like a cat, but Li Xiaoran was even quieter.
"I thought you were asleep!"
"I was organizing things from the move, so I won't be sleeping for now. Are you leaving now? What day is it today? Aren't you taking a break?"
"Taking a break? In my position, there are no breaks. When there's work to do, I have to be busy. When there's nothing urgent, I can rest. Anyway, I'm someone without a fixed schedule!
There are still some matters to handle at the company. I have to go for a very important meeting today!"
"Oh, I see..." Li Xiaoran felt a bit disappointed and then said, "Well, company matters are quite important! Be careful on your way, and if you have time, come by, but please call ahead!"
Gu Feng hesitated and said, "I will come by often, but why do I need to call ahead?"
"Because... because..."
Li Xiaoran's cheeks flushed slightly. Just a moment ago during dinner, she had been eloquent, but now she sounded like a girl who couldn't articulate her thoughts clearly.
"Because we have a lot of women in our house now. If you come at the wrong time, you might see some things that aren't very good for you! I'm just looking out for you!"
Li Xiaoran made up a reason.
It sounded somewhat plausible.
Gu Feng thought for a moment; Li Xiaoran had a point.
Lan Baobao was currently pregnant, Nursing Sister Le was also an unmarried woman in her twenties, and there were two women in their thirties, almost forty years old. Adding Li Xiaoran, there were five women in total in the house.
This one hundred fifty square meter apartment felt cramped with five women living together; it definitely felt strange.
Gu Feng is an adult man, and being unmarried seems to make it inconvenient for him to frequent such places.
He smiled and said, "You're right; I overlooked that! Alright, from now on, I will call you before I come over. Is that okay?"
"Yes, yes, that's fine. Take your time, and remember to keep in touch!"
"Okay, let's stay in touch!"
Li Xiaoran watched Gu Feng leave, feeling quite pleased.
Fortunately, her reasoning was good enough to deflect the situation.
She couldn't possibly tell Gu Feng that she wanted him to call first because she didn't want him to see her messy or unattractive side.
Suddenly, Li Xiaoran thought of something and immediately ran to the balcony.
After a while, she heard the sound of the car starting.
Seeing Gu Feng's car leave gave Li Xiaoran a very happy feeling.
Even the roof of the car looked handsome; how wonderful!
Li Xiaoran returned to her bed and saw that Lan Baobao was already fast asleep. She tiptoed into her own room.
Her room was also well-ventilated and sunny.
The lighting was great, and the environment was nice.
Li Xiaoran sat alone in her room and helplessly slapped her face.
"Li Xiaoran, Lan Baobao is not that kind of person. You've known her for so long; can't you tell? Do you really want to believe Mu Jiao'er instead of trusting Lan Baobao?"
Gu Feng is just a friend to her, and can only be a friend. You must not assume that everyone has the same intentions! If you continue to doubt Lan Baobao and get jealous like this, then you deserve what you get!
After talking to herself for a while, Li Xiaoran immediately started packing her things.
For some reason, while doing this task that she usually dislikes—organizing and tidying up—she felt surprisingly good!
Having a handsome guy visit is indeed a nice thing!
Li Xiaoran hummed a song while happily looking at her new room.
“Gu Feng will come again, right? When will he come? Will he still be as handsome as today? I really want to see him!”
As Li Xiaoran organized her things, various images of Gu Feng floated in her mind.
As long as she lived in this place, Gu Feng would come over often, giving her countless opportunities to see him.
In the future, if she called Gu Feng, he probably wouldn’t refuse her.
She really wanted to see him and talk to Gu Feng more!
She wondered what he liked to eat. It seemed like he enjoyed Sichuan cuisine, but he also looked happy eating Japanese food.
Did he like Southeast Asian cuisine too? She wondered if he would enjoy a feast she prepared next time.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran immediately decided that starting tomorrow, she would ask Mother Zhang and Mother Chen to teach her how to cook.
She had to personally prepare a table full of dishes for Gu Feng.
Just thinking about him eating the food she made with her own hands made Li Xiaoran feel incredibly happy!
“Gu Feng, please don’t make me wait too long! I really want to see you!”
After Li Xiaoran finished, she held a bundle of clothes and slowly fell asleep.
During these two days, everyone lived very peacefully, as if all matters had vanished into thin air. Occasionally, Lan Baobao would call a car to check on Mu Jiangfeng's situation and chat with him briefly.
Two days later, the news of Mu Jiao'er’s suicide spread widely, causing quite a stir, and everyone learned about her death.
Originally just a professional mistress, her sudden suicide cast an even more mysterious shadow over her. At the same time, it piqued people's curiosity even more.
Where there are readers, there are always gossipers eager to follow up on such matters.
The magazine's situation had already caused quite a commotion, but now the news of Mu Jiao'er’s suicide added fuel to the fire.
As the media caught wind of this unusual scent, they swarmed in like hounds. Previously uninterested in Ye Zixun, these gossipers were now even more determined to pursue him, blocking all exits.
At Ye Zixun's company entrance, over fifty security guards worked together to separate the reporters into two groups to prevent them from obstructing those arriving for work.
To deter any unruly behavior from the reporters, three lawyers were specifically stationed at the entrance.
They didn't need to do much; they simply sat there waiting for any reporter to infringe upon Ye Group's interests so they could take photos and later file lawsuits against them.
As a result, the reporters dared not act recklessly and only lingered nearby. Whenever they spotted Ye Zixun, they would immediately press their shutters. Even some relatively attractive female employees entering the building would be photographed.
Surely, Ye Zixun's next lover would emerge soon enough?
Reporters' eyes always seem able to see through appearances to grasp something elusive.
Ye Zixun despised them for this very reason.
It made him feel like a rat scurrying across the street, forcing him to hire a large number of people and incur many extra expenses. Even his employees had to receive additional allowances due to this incident.
Fortunately, because of this situation, his stock not only did not drop but actually rose.
This was an unexpected gain.
However, even though this incident had caused their company's stock to soar, Ye Zixun could not feel happy about it.
Seeing the reporters outside, Ye Zixun's eyes revealed a cold light.
The reporters below were like ants, constantly wandering around. At times, their numbers decreased, but whenever Ye Zixun felt slightly better, they immediately increased again.
Ye Zixun looked coldly at those people below, feeling a surge of anger and hostility.
He really wanted to stomp on all of them!
After finally escaping outside to hold a meeting, Ye Zixun received a call from his Secretary and decided to find a place to rest. He believed that his home was probably crowded with reporters as well, and returning would only lead to more questions from them.
At that moment, Ye Zixun's phone suddenly rang. He pulled over to the side of the road and saw that the caller ID showed it was Lan Baobao calling.
Ye Zixun felt a brief moment of happiness, but it quickly sank again.
If Lan Baobao was calling him now, it probably wasn't for anything good.
In her mind, aside from fear and resentment, there was nothing else. It seemed impossible for her to open up to him at this time.
The phone rang twice before Ye Zixun reluctantly answered.
He picked up the call and said unwillingly, "Hello! What do you want?"
"Ye Zixun, if you have time, let's meet," Lan Baobao said directly.
"Meet? Now?" Ye Zixun was quite shocked by this call. Just yesterday she had rejected him, and now she wanted to meet. What was she thinking? He knew Lan Baobao too well; once she made up her mind about something, she would not easily change it.
It was likely that this meeting would involve some unpleasant topics for him!
Ye Zixun didn't really want to go, but the person on the other end of the phone was Lan Baobao, and he couldn't bring himself to refuse her.
In the end, Ye Zixun had no choice but to compromise.
"Alright, where shall we meet? Send me the address."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zixun started the engine. Before long, Lan Baobao sent over the meeting address. Ye Zixun drove to the place they agreed upon, and Lan Baobao's people were already there.
She was wearing a blue sweater and a pair of stretchy jeans.
Today, she had applied a bit of light makeup on her face and put on a slightly pink tinted lip balm, looking very spirited.
Perhaps they had both rested well; there was a nice flush on their faces that made them look somewhat alluring.
He sat down across from Lan Baobao and discreetly scanned her face. It wasn't until the waiter brought over the coffee that he spoke.
"Baby, I never thought you'd still be willing to meet me today."
"I had to see you." Lan Baobao's face showed no expression; it could be described as indifferent.
