With a smile in his eyes, Old Master Song accepted the gift and looked at Su Ran with loving eyes. "Su girl, you are the most promising junior I have ever seen. Please don't go astray."

Su Ran nodded in agreement, knowing that Old Master Song meant well for her.

Xiao Sheng returned to the second floor. The people around him naturally knew this and didn't care about his identity. Some teased, "Didn't Young Master Xiao just say he was leaving?"

"Young Master Xiao, did you forget something? Are you back to get it?"

"Hey, Young Master Xiao's back from his drive?"

They all grew up together, and although they hadn't had much contact since, at this moment, everyone seemed to have returned to their childhood.

As we grow up, we are no longer in control of our own destiny; childhood playmates all go their separate ways as adults.

The political sphere should not be too closely connected with the business sphere.

Business circles are driven by self-interest, and all friendships seem to have been corrupted.

But at this moment, everything seemed to have returned to the past. Xiao Sheng also put aside his status as the young master and just smiled at their teasing. "Yeah, I went out for some fresh air."

Everyone just smiled and didn't say anything.

As soon as Su Ran left Old Master Song's side, she heard Jiang Zheng's voice, "Sister Ran, over here!"

The sound seemed especially loud under the music, and everyone looked at Su Ran, who once again became the focus of the entire audience.

Feeling the gazes around her, Su Ran's smile almost disappeared as she awkwardly walked upstairs.

Noticing Ran Jie's expression, Jiang Zheng smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Ran Jie."

Su Ran shook her head. Everyone around her greeted her, and she responded to each one.

Finally, her gaze met Shen Yu's. Seeing his eyes on her neck, Su Ran seemed to realize something; the marks on her neck were the result of last night's events.

There must be some areas that weren't covered and were exposed.

Shen Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, "Ranran..."

But he never said the rest.

Su Ran ignored Shen Yu and turned to chat with Jiang Zheng and the others.

Jiang Zheng and the others around him didn't pay any attention to Chen Yu. Although something had just gone wrong, they didn't know what it was.

"Sister Ran, it's been a long time."

Jiang Zheng laughed heartily, raised his champagne glass towards her, and Su Ran smiled and clinked glasses with him, then drank the champagne in one gulp.

"Sister Ran, you've really become a celebrity lately! Is the Trp reagent developed in cooperation with the government?"

Wen Wen's voice rang out, but Su Ran did not answer. She simply raised her wine glass and touched it to her lips, remaining silent.

On the surface, the Trp reagent is sold by Su Ran's company, but in reality, it is a collaboration with the government. However, this cannot be made public because Su Ran does not want to supply the reagent to foreign countries at present.

Seeing this, Wen Wen didn't ask any more questions. Jiang Zheng immediately came over again, "Sister Ran, could you help me with something like increasing KD next time?"

Su Ran turned around and saw Jiang Zheng's starry eyes, as if he really wanted to try this job.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Your father only has you as his son. If he lets you go and something happens to you, your father will be devastated."

Seeing this, Jiang Zheng thought it over carefully for a moment, and after much deliberation, he still tried to persuade his father, "I'll give him a concubine and drug him a little, then we'll have a second child, right?"

"That way, the Jiang family will have a successor, and I can go out and have fun without worry!"

Jiang Zheng's eyes were full of longing and excitement. After all, a real man is one who wields knives and guns, and that's the best kind of cosmetic surgery for a man!

The brothers around him were surprised that Jiang Zheng actually dared to think that way. Song Nian hooked his arm around Jiang Zheng's neck and said, "You little brat, if your dad finds out, he'll break your legs and drug your old man. What a good son you are."

After peeling the orange, Wen Wen rolled his eyes. "I'm not helping you this time. You deserve to be hit. Even a celestial being couldn't save you."

The others around them laughed out loud. Although they were also tempted, they would be too busy running away to actually go to the battlefield.

After greeting everyone, Su Ran was about to leave when Shen Yu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, "Ranran."

Su Ran glanced at it and sighed softly, "Come on over."

She knew Shen Yu's feelings and had asked her out countless times. He was always there whenever she was around. During work hours, Shen Yu would bring her food and sometimes prepare small gifts.

For anyone else, he would be a great boyfriend, but this person is Su Ran, so Shen Yu can never be her boyfriend.

Finding a corner of the banquet, before Su Ran could speak, Shen Yu hurriedly asked, "Ranran, do you have a boyfriend?"

Su Ran shook her head. Seeing this, Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to speak when she interrupted him, saying, "Shen Yu, you guessed right. I slept with someone else."

Shen Yu could see through her, so she didn't hide anything and laid the truth in front of him. Shen Yu's face turned pale, and he swayed as if he were about to collapse, but after a while, he looked up and gave a bleak smile.

"Ranran, are you lying to me?"

Shen Yu felt as if his whole body was about to shatter. He looked up at her with hopeful eyes. Su Ran didn't say anything, but pulled her collar down a bit, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

But the red marks on his fair skin brought tears to Shen Yu's eyes. He lowered his head, remained silent, and trembled slightly.

Su Ran straightened her collar. "Shen Yu, I have no reason to lie to you. You can date any girl, but that girl can't be me. I'm not right for you."

She ignored Shen Yu and turned to leave. As soon as she turned around, she saw Fu Rongzhi standing there with champagne in his hand. She didn't say anything, but just walked past him.

For Shen Yu, this boy was good; his straightforward and passionate love was undisguised and laid bare before her.

However, Su Ran did not have romantic feelings for him.

The same goes for Song Shiyan, whom she had slept with before. She doesn't know how to date, get married, or have children. Physical union is enough if both parties are willing.

Su Ran hadn't been gone long when Fu Rongzhi caught up. Seeing the man beside him, he asked, "How much did you hear?"

Fu Rongzhi glanced at her and shook his head. "I didn't hear it. I just came over."

Fu Rongzhi wasn't lying; he had indeed just arrived, but he had guessed some of what had just happened.

He also noticed the faint marks on her neck, but he didn't say anything else. In his view, liking Su Ran was his own business.

He likes her, he will express his love, and he will tell her his feelings, but he will not question her.

Because he had no grounds to question it.

Perhaps sensing Fu Rongzhi's slight emotional fluctuation, Su Ran simply smiled, her stunning face suddenly drawing closer, until Fu Rongzhi's eyes were fixed solely on her.

Su Ran slowly spoke, "Commander, shall we go?"
