After thanking him again, Xu Moran really left. Once outside the door, he couldn't help but look back. He seemed used to seeing Xiao Mei clinging to Pei Hang's arm, wanting to continue looking at the photos on the tablet.

As soon as Xu Moran left Pei Hang's office, he looked towards the elevator but didn't see Xu Ye. He assumed that Xu Ye had gotten impatient and gone downstairs first.

Walk to the elevator, press the down button, and wait quietly.

Suddenly, she sensed someone behind her and was about to turn around sharply when a hand reached out in front of her.

The hand holding the cup had a logo of a well-known coffee brand printed on it. Xu Moran looked up at the hand holding the coffee.

The face she saw was exactly what she expected.

"Ranran." The owner of that face looked into her eyes and said softly, "It'll be cold outside later, have a couple of sips to warm yourself up."

Xu Moran looked at him, then at the coffee cup in his hand, "Do you know how much this coffee costs?"

Xu Ye's handsome profile drew closer to Xu Moran's, a faint smile playing in his eyes. "Ranran, from now on, I'll take care of you."

The implication was that she no longer needed to look at the price of anything.

Xu Moran rolled her eyes at him, the meaning was clear: keep bragging, keep bragging.

With a ding, the elevator arrived. After the two of them stepped inside, Xu Ye brought the coffee to Xu Moran again, saying, "Ranran, if you don't drink it, I'm going to cry."

Xu Moran knew that Xu Ye wouldn't cry, but he still opened his mouth and took a sip.

She likes to drink coffee, but because she is frugal, she rarely drinks freshly ground coffee, especially the kind that costs tens of yuan a cup. Most of the time, she drinks instant coffee.

Xu Ye found it strange and insisted on feeding Xu Moran the drink.

Xu Moran was already used to Xu Ye's actions, which were difficult to understand with normal thinking. She took two sips as a gesture and then refused to drink any more.

Based on her current, albeit not very deep, understanding of Xu Ye, she believes that if she shows interest, Xu Ye will continue to make purchases frequently.

Regardless of whose money she was spending, she was so shocked by her own extravagant spending that her entire soul trembled.

Xu Moran had always considered herself an ordinary person, living an ordinary life, until one day she discovered that her background was not so ordinary after all.

Xu Moran only took two sips before turning her head away and refusing to open her mouth again. Xu Ye didn't force her; instead, he started drinking himself.

Through the reflection in the elevator door frame, Xu Moran could clearly see that Xu Ye was drinking the coffee she had drunk from.

she,"……"

Xu Ye has a slight obsession with cleanliness, which she knows. So how could he drink something she has drunk from?

Xu Moran wasn't given much time to think about the question, probably because the elevator quickly reached the first floor. As the elevator doors opened, Xu Ye expertly took her hand and stepped out of the elevator.

.

When they reached the hospital entrance, Xu Moran realized why Xu Ye had gone to buy coffee: it had suddenly started raining, and the weather was indeed a bit cold.

"Ranran." Xu Ye opened his coat and wrapped her in his arms without saying a word. "You won't be cold this way."

Xu Ye was so fast that he didn't give Xu Moran a chance to resist.

After being forced to hide in Xu Ye's arms, Xu Moran could clearly feel Xu Ye's presence and warmth.

He wasn't wearing any perfume, yet he carried a faint, pleasant scent that was uniquely his.

Xu Moran was wrapped in Xu Ye's coat and led him outside. Only when Xu Ye took the coat off her head did she realize that she was standing next to a car.

It was a red Audi.

Seeing her in a daze, Xu Ye said softly, "Ranran, it's hard to get a taxi when it's raining, so just make do with this."

"Beautiful lady." The person in the driver's seat also leaned out of the car window and said to her, "Get in the car. The rain is getting heavier, so don't complain about my car. I'll get a better one next time."

Xu Moran was sweating profusely, not only because his Audi was considered a compromise, but also because the driver was the same woman who had taken Xu Ye to the Western restaurant during the day and then used an iPhone 7 to lure Xu Ye into washing her car to repay her.

As for why it was this woman's car again, Xu Ye interrupted Xu Moran before she could speak, explaining, "Ranran, you might not believe it, but it's true. When I called for a ride-hailing service, I called for her car."

Xu Moran was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

There's a saying that goes, "No story is complete without a coincidence," right? Maybe it's just that kind of coincidence.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Afraid of getting Xu Ye wet, Xu Moran stopped being coy and quickly got into the car. Xu Ye followed her into the car.

The female driver, who was only in her early twenties, was no longer as taciturn as she had been during the day when she saw Xu Moran. She started the engine and began to talk.

She glanced in the rearview mirror and said to Xu Moran, "Beautiful lady, I have some good news for you."

Xu Moran turned to look out the window and calmly asked, "What good news?"

She had a feeling that ever since she picked Xu Ye up and brought him home in the middle of the night, luck had started to smile on her.

"Your ride is free today." The female driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror again.

Xu Moran showed no joy at the fact that the ride was free. Instead, her brows furrowed, and she asked the female driver, "Why is it free?"

The female driver had her back to her, so her expression was not visible. She could only hear her say, "Miss, we ride-hailing services have received too many complaints from taxis, and business is very difficult now. In order to win back business, we have started to do various activities, one of which is to give away the eighth ride of the day."
