Xu Moran glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer screen; it was indeed almost lunchtime.

The fact that Xu Ye called her at this time shows that he has a pretty good sense of time.

"What do you want to eat?" Xu Moran asked Xu Ye as he turned off the computer.

People say that once bitten by a snake, twice shy. She was also puzzled. Knowing that Xu Ye had a habit of not choosing what was right and only buying expensive things, she was still not afraid of him making excessive demands.

After all, it is Xu Ye's right to make a request, and it is her right to agree or not.

So when he suggested eating dragon meat from the sky, she wasn't afraid at all.

"I want to eat..." Xu Ye said the name of a restaurant on the other end of the line.

Xu Moran was very fortunate that she was sitting in a chair, otherwise her legs would have given way and she might have fallen. Although she had never been to the store that Xu Ye mentioned, it was famous throughout B City for being expensive, extremely expensive.

According to people who have eaten there, a single meal costs a month's salary, and the person who said that earns a decent wage, above the average income in B city.

She gritted her teeth and refused outright, "I have no money!"

Xu Ye was clearly prepared that Xu Moran wouldn't agree to his request immediately. He then mentioned the name of the second restaurant, "Let's go eat there..."

Xu Moran had also heard of that store, but it was only slightly cheaper than the first one.

Xu Moran gritted her teeth again, "I'm not going!"

Xu Ye sighed and said helplessly on the other end of the phone, "Ranran, then you decide what to eat, I'll do whatever you say."

Xu Moran thought for a moment and named a restaurant. Like the two restaurants Xu Ye mentioned, it was also a Western restaurant with good ingredients and environment, but the price was much more reasonable.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Ye hesitated for a full half minute before replying with just two words, "Okay."

These two words carried such reluctance and strain that Xu Moran wanted to laugh when she heard them. "I'll be there now. You can take a taxi."

Xu Ye said, "I don't have money to pay for the fare."

Xu Moran was a little amused and exasperated. This was typical of Xu Ye; he was always thinking about money. However, there was an advantage to this kind of person: he was always prepared for the future and would never have any immediate worries.

"I'll pay." I should have left her bank card at home before going to work today.

Xu Ye was afraid that Xu Moran would forget him, so before hanging up the phone, he emphasized to her again, "Ranran, I'm coming over now. You must wait for me by the roadside."

Xu Moran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be waiting by the roadside to pay your fare when you arrive."

Only after hearing Xu Moran say this again did the person on the other end of the phone feel relieved and hang up.

Of course, judging from the way Xu Ye is currently behaving in front of Xu Moran, which is similar to a peacock displaying its tail feathers, he will definitely praise Xu Moran again before hanging up the phone.

And he did indeed praise her.

He said, "Ranran, I'm so lucky to be taken care of by you."

Xu Moran responded with a sneer. The perception of being a kept man, which had been derogatory, had become a somewhat proud compliment after he picked up Xu Ye, under Xu Ye's constant and proud emphasis.

Xu Moran simply went out for lunch. There was nothing to pack, so he put his phone in his bag, took off his police uniform and hung it on the back of his chair before leaving the office.

The police station was a very busy place, with vehicles and people coming and going. Xu Moran wasn't working at the police station for the first time, so he was already used to its busyness.

She walked silently toward the police station, wondering whether to take a taxi or the subway. Suddenly, she heard someone call out behind her, "Little girl."

At first, she didn't turn around to look, because she wasn't sure if someone was calling her "little girl" and she heard it. She wasn't that shameless.

A voice came from behind, "You little girl in the light yellow dress, you heard me right, I'm calling you."

Xu Moran looked down and saw that she was indeed wearing light yellow today. Considering her age, she could still be called a young girl in the eyes of people much older than her.

After hesitating for a moment, risking being called a big-faced person, she still turned around to look.

She saw that the person who called her was a middle-aged man who was a stranger. After staring at the middle-aged man for a while, she was quite sure that she did not know him.

Looking to her left and then to her right, she realized there was no one else wearing pale yellow clothes besides her, and she couldn't help but wonder if the middle-aged man had mistaken her for someone else.

The middle-aged man smiled at her and said, "Young lady, don't doubt it, I didn't call you wrong, I called you."

Xu Moran wasn't an impolite person. Although she guessed that the middle-aged man calling her name was probably a mistake, she still returned his smile and said, "Uncle, I don't know you. You've really mistaken me for someone else."

The middle-aged man looked her up and down, then asked, "Your surname is Xu, right?"

Xu Moran nodded. Her surname was Xu, but her given name, Xu Moran, was not given to her by her parents.

It is said that when she was sent to the orphanage, she was a baby who had been swaddled for only a few days. Since she needed a name, the aunties at the orphanage took her to the director to name her.

Coincidentally, the dean was tutoring his son, who was in the third grade of elementary school. He was so frustrated by his son's inability to teach him how to use a dictionary that he was furious. When he heard that they were going to name the baby girl in swaddling clothes, he glanced at the dictionary he was holding and that's how the baby girl came to be named Xu Moran.

As her name suggests, Xu Moran was very quiet from a young age. Even as an adult, she didn't have much of a social circle. Apart from her colleagues, the only people she knew were Jiang Moli's family, no, now we should add Xu Ye.

If Pei Hang knew that Xu Moran didn't even include him in her list of acquaintances, he would definitely clutch his heart and pretend to be heartbroken.

Sister-in-law, this can't be right! I even cursed myself so you and my brother could eat safe seafood, and it actually worked! This whole night has been so tough and exhausting, and you still haven't...
