Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 960: Lovesickness
It wasn't long before he left, but he felt like he had been gone for a long time.
This time the mission at the border went very smoothly.
The things that were needed were taken back, and the people that were needed were caught.
He didn't even wait to return to the capital to report, and went straight to Xiangcheng.
After getting off the special plane, the first thing he did not do was to go back to Shenyuan to rest.
Instead, he went straight to Muyunzhai.
Then, I just stood there in the cold wind.
To be honest, Xiao Jie doesn't know what his master is doing. Isn't this just crazy? Is he trying to endure hardship without any effort?
Because Muyunzhai has many employees, the ingredients are extremely rich.
In the refrigerator are small wontons that the kitchen staff have packed in advance.
These were originally midnight snacks prepared for Tu Ran.
But Tu Ran rarely eats at night, so he just made a hot meal of wonton stew.
Served with delicious dried shrimp and seaweed.
When it came out of the pot, the smell spread far away.
Tu Ran came over with a big bowl.
Holding a pair of chopsticks in hand.
"I found some small wontons in the refrigerator. You can make do with them."
"It may not suit your taste, but it's relatively light and warming."
"Thank you for your hard work." Nie Xiu looked at Tu Ran gently.
"It's just a small favor, Mr. Nie, please don't be polite with me. Eat it while it's hot."
"Then go and rest."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy yet. I'm going to take a shower."
Tu Ran didn't accompany him. She turned around and went to take a shower and change into pajamas.
When he came out again, the boss was already full and satisfied.
There was a big bowl full of wontons, about 17 or 18 of them, and we ate every last one.
Even drank the soup...
In Tu Ran's impression, Nie Xiu didn't have such a good appetite.
Because they are royal relatives who have eaten everything since childhood and have no desire for food.
So, when he saw the empty bowl, Tu Ran was still a little surprised.
"you……"
"Wontons and medicinal oil, do I need to pay?" The boss deliberately looked innocent.
Tu Ran laughed out of anger, "Okay, one million."
"No problem, I'll transfer it to you now." The boss silently took out his mobile phone.
Tu Ran's face changed drastically and he went straight to grab the phone.
If it were someone else, she might not believe it.
But this person is really... someone who would give her a million, how could she accept it?
"Stop it, I was just joking. Why give me money?" Tu Ran was a little embarrassed and put the snatched phone on the table.
"I just feel like coming so late is a bit disturbing to you."
"It's okay. It's not often this late. It's acceptable to disturb you once or twice." How could Tu Ran ask for money?
"Okay then." The boss took back his phone.
"Then can you go back now? I really need to go to bed. I'm so sleepy." Tu Ran couldn't bear it anymore and was about to doze off.
It's rare to see her like this.
Nie Xiu just thought that she was very cute.
But I can't bear to bother you anymore.
"Well, I'm leaving."
"Aren't you going to wait for Xiaojie to pick you up?" Tu Ran was stunned when he saw him walking out directly.
"That's too much trouble. Can I borrow your car and drive back?"
"Okay." Tu Ran nodded.
I was just about to ask her which one to borrow.
Boss Nie said directly, "Just drive your Volvo."
"Okay, here are the car keys for you." Tu Ran picked up the car keys and threw them over.
Nie Xiu turned and left without saying when he would return the car.
But Tu Ran didn't care, because Mu Yunzhai had other cars anyway.
And as long as it's daybreak, it's actually quite convenient to call a ride-hailing service, you just have to wait a little longer.
Wait until Nie Xiu goes out and Tu Ran cleans up the mess.
I just realized that there was a hairpin on the table. I don't know when it appeared.
You can tell it's for girls at first glance.
The hairpin is only as long as your little finger.
Nine red beans are lifelike, dotted with kingfisher feathers on the green glass leaves.
The metal part is golden and looks like gold.
The red bean seal is decorated with small gold beads, and the workmanship is very exquisite.
It's not an old item.
You can tell it's newly made at first glance.
And it looks like handmade.
It really looks good, and it suits Tu Ran's aesthetic taste perfectly.
But this thing is not hers.
She thought about it and picked up her phone to call Nie Xiu.
Nie Xiu: Hello?
Tu Ran: I found a hairpin on the table.
Nie Xiu: Ah, I bought them in the tourist area when I was on a business trip. I bought a lot, and I brought some for Chen Yingli and the nannies in Chen Garden. If you don’t mind, you can keep them.
Tu Ran: How is this possible? I see the accessories are gold.
Nie Xiu: No way, it should be silver-plated with gold. I bought a lot of these souvenirs. If you don't like it, just throw it in the trash. It's just a small thing, not worth mentioning.
The more Nie Xiu said this, the harder it became for Tu Ran to refuse.
Tu Ran: No, it’s not that I dislike it, I just think it’s pretty and I was afraid you’d leave it with me.
Nie Xiu: No, it’s for you.
Tu Ran: Okay, thank you Mr. Nie.
Nie Xiu: Can you please stop calling me Mr. Nie from now on? It sounds so rude.
Tu Ran: Then what should I call you? Mr. Nie?
Nie Xiu: ...
Tu Ran: I can’t call you master like your bodyguard does, right?
Nie Xiu was so angry that he laughed.
They all laughed out loud over the phone.
Nie Xiu: Sooner or later you will piss me off to death.
Tu Ran: That’s right. Then what should I call you?
Nie Xiu didn't know how to answer for a moment. He couldn't let her ask him to repair it like Chen Yingli did, right?
Chen Yingli is his cousin, so there is nothing wrong with calling her that, but calling her that suddenly is quite ambiguous.
The main problem is, she won't agree to it.
Nie Xiu: It’s up to you, anything is fine. Just don’t call me Mr. Nie, it sounds old-fashioned.
Tu Ran: Then just call me Mr. Nie.
Nie Xiu: It’s up to you.
Tu Ran: Then please drive away. I won’t bother you anymore.
Nie Xiu: You should go to bed early.
Then the two hung up the phone.
Although Nie Xiu's words were flawless, Tu Ran still put the hairpin away.
She doesn't wear it and won't wear it.
She knew what the red beans represented, but she was not sure if Nie Xiuqing did not know.
I don’t know whether Chen Yingli and the others have it?
But red beans represent lovesickness, so she couldn't wear them.
She had no feelings for Nie Xiu at all.
She only hoped that Xie Nancheng could get over his worries as soon as possible and that they could return to the way they were before.
Because after today, she is more convinced.
Xie Nancheng has her in his heart, always has.
Thinking of Xie Nancheng, Tu Ran felt warm in his heart.
She fell into a deep sleep in the beautiful memories.
Six o'clock in the morning.
Qiao Kelan, who remained low-key, was awakened by a knock on the door.
Seeing through the peephole that it was Han Yongbo, the living devil, he dared not not open the door.
"Aren't you staying in a hotel?"
"Why did you come back?" Qiao Kelan asked unhappily.
"Give me five hundred thousand."
"I'm not staying in this damn place anymore."
"I'm going back home."
"I don't want much, just five hundred thousand."
"Don't fucking tell me no, I don't want to hear it." Han Yongbo looked very anxious and didn't seem to be drunk anymore.
There are no questionable women around him, only him.
"Five hundred thousand, kill me."
"Where can I get you 500,000?" Qiao Kelan said angrily.
"You can't possibly not have it. You slept with that rich old man for so long, so there's no way Old Man Xie wouldn't give you money. I know you like to keep it back. Don't force me to beat you up. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to leave."
In fact, Han Yongbo was addicted to gambling and lost a lot of money in a chess and card room in Xiangcheng. Some of the money was lent to him by the room owner at high interest, but he lost it all, so he thought of blackmailing Qiao Kelan and running away.
"No, I really don't."
"If you go back to your hometown, I can book you a plane ticket and give you another 10,000 yuan."
"How the hell are you giving ten thousand dollars to a beggar?"
After saying that, Han Yongbo slapped him in the face without mercy.
Qiao Kelan was beaten so hard that he fell to the ground.
Then Han Yongbo went up and started punching and kicking her, "Hurry up and give me the money, bitch. Otherwise, I'll kill you today."
