Chapter 468: A Glimmer of Hope

"What, are you getting annoyed by me after I say too much?"

"How could I dare? Our Sister Ran is just concerned about me." Yuan Siyin picked up a slice of potato, dipped it in beef sauce, and seriously talked nonsense: "From major life events to daily life, it's all up to Sister Ran."

"Please, don't even think about it. I can't take on a daughter as big as you."

Xu Ran was amused, glanced at her, and then put some food on Hanhan's plate: "Aunt Yinyin doesn't like to eat green vegetables, Hanhan shouldn't follow her example."

Men are usually talkative at the dinner table, but Yu Shiyan and Jiang Zhengyu were unusually quiet, making it seem like only Xu Ran and Yuan Siyin were at the table.

Jiang Han looked at the vegetables in her bowl, her face scrunched up just like Yuan Siyin's: "Why can Aunt Yinyin not eat vegetables?"

"Because Aunt Yinyin is good."

"But Mom, didn't you just mean that Aunt Yinyin was naughty?" Hanhan pouted, clearly dissatisfied, with a stubborn determination to get to the bottom of things.

"What did you promise your mother when you left home? That you wouldn't pester Aunt Yinyin to take you here and there? Are you being disobedient?"

"oh……"

Knowing she couldn't win the argument, Hanhan could only obediently lower her head and eat the vegetables with her chopsticks.

While eating the meatballs, Yuan Siyin glanced at her phone and was surprised to find that it was already 11:27. Remembering that she had arranged to meet Yu Shiyan at 11:30, she suddenly became anxious. She took a bite of the meatball and was scalded by the soup inside.

Xu Ran didn't know why Yuan Siyin suddenly stood up while she was eating, but she knew that Yuan Siyin was covering her mouth and gasping for breath.

Yu Shiyan frowned slightly, placed the water in her hand, and said with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "What's the rush? Now you know you're in a hurry? I'm sitting right here, where are you rushing off to?"

Yuan Siyin endured the heat, her fair face flushed red, took the water, took a sip, and couldn't help but mutter softly, "It's all because of..."

"Is Director Yuan planning to blame me?" Yu Shiyan glanced sideways, her delicate features half-hidden in the rising steam, giving her an unexpectedly hazy beauty.

Yuan Siyin covered her mouth with one hand and waved her other hand frantically: "No, no, absolutely not!"

Xu Ran put down her chopsticks, subtly leaned closer to Jiang Zhengyu, and whispered in his ear, "Honey, do these two seem to be getting along?"

Jiang Zhengyu knew that she had recently become addicted to watching dramas and shipping couples, even thinking that two fish swimming together were a couple.

Although he felt helpless, he still nodded in agreement: "Yes, it does look like it."

"By the way, did you ask Yu Shiyan just now? Why was he with Yinyin helping to take care of Hanhan?" Xu Ran felt more and more uneasy, so she didn't even bother to eat.

Jiang Zhengyu thought for a moment, "They said they had arranged to meet at a coffee shop at noon today to discuss some business, and since it wasn't time yet, I went along."

This argument seems flawless at first glance, but upon closer examination, it's utterly unconvincing. That's why people say women have a strong sixth sense.

Xu Ran didn't say anything. After everyone at the table finished eating, she took out a tissue to wipe Hanhan's mouth, and then looked up at Yuan Siyin: "Yinyin, can you help me get an invoice? Hanhan's clothes are splattered with oil, let me wipe them off for her."

"good."

Yuan Siyin didn't think much of it and got up to go to the checkout counter, while Hanhan tugged at her carefully protected little dress and looked at it for a long time but couldn't see where it was dirty.
