There was a two-second silence, and then Mo Ruinan grinned.
"Just kidding, did I scare you?"
You're joking, Su Ping thought, her smile barely reaching her eyes.
Is this really a joke?
Fortunately, her phone rang at that moment. Su Ping took out her phone and found that it was Tu Ling calling.
"Sister Tu Ling?"
As soon as the call connected, I heard that Tu Ling's voice sounded rather noisy, as if there were quite a few people on the other end.
"Pingping, where are you? Are you going to the beach?"
Su Ping was still hesitating when she suddenly noticed that Mo Ruinan's gaze was fixed on her, so she accepted Tu Ling's invitation.
When Tu Ling heard that she was at school, he told her to wait for them there, and they would come over to pick her up so they could go pick up a swimsuit together.
After hanging up the phone, Mo Ruinan looked at her and asked, "Do you have plans later?"
Su Ping nodded, then saw Mo Ruinan look away with some disappointment, muttering to herself.
"The art exhibition is scheduled for the 26th of this month. I was thinking of inviting you to have a meal together, but you should go ahead and do your work. Let's make plans for another time."
Today is the 18th, so it will be about a week from now.
Thinking that she only had a week left, Su Ping suddenly felt a pang of emotion, but she didn't belong here and would have to leave eventually.
Mo Ruinan stared at Su Ping's retreating figure, her eyes filled with an inscrutable expression.
He took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant.
"How's the preparation going?"
The assistant quickly replied with an "ok" emoji.
He was somewhat looking forward to seeing if Shen Jiayu would be devastated after learning the true nature of the woman he loved.
A black car stopped in front of me.
When Su Ping saw Lin Hejing sitting in the driver's seat and Xie Kerong sitting in the passenger seat, she vaguely felt that their relationship was a little unusual.
"Pingping, come up here quickly!"
The red car behind honked its horn, and Tu Ling waved happily at her. Shi Xu, who was sitting next to her, also waved back when he saw her.
Su Ping walked over and opened the car door, only to find a young man sitting inside. He had an outstanding presence and nodded politely to her as a greeting.
"Hello."
The man's appearance isn't the kind that's immediately striking, but it's very pleasant to look at. He also has a good sense of propriety in his movements, so it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.
Su Ping smiled and responded to him, then sat down next to him in a very natural and generous manner.
She now understood why she had been called over today.
Tu Ling, who was to her left, kept turning around and winking at her, which made her feel a little awkward.
Sister, do you think he's blind? This is too blatant.
The boy next to her couldn't help but curl his lips as he watched her glare at Tu Ling and then sit there playing with her fingers.
It seems this trip wasn't so boring after all.
Just as Tu Hengchuan, who had just learned that he would be finishing filming the next day, picked up his phone to tell Su Ping the good news, he saw a photo sent by his sister Tu Ling.
In the photo, a man and a woman are walking side by side on the beach, chatting happily.
That was Pingping and a man.
As a man himself, he could see the undisguised admiration in the man's eyes as he looked at Su Ping.
Not good.
At the same time, Tu Ling also sent a message: "Jealous? It's right to be jealous. If you don't come back soon, Pingping might really run off with someone else."
Su Ping, who was discussing with the man whether the chicken or the egg came first, suddenly sneezed several times in a row, and then heard his concerned words.
"Is it too windy? Should we go over there and rest for a bit?"
Before Su Ping could speak, she saw Lin Hejing walking towards them with Xie Kerong in her arms.
What are you two whispering about over here?
Then, he couldn't wait to show off to Su Ping: "Little sister, your sister-in-law is jealous. Quickly call her sister-in-law and coax her."
Xie Kerong laughed and nudged him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Pingping, don't listen to his lies."
Then, after looking at Su Ping for a while, he pulled her aside to be alone with her.
"What happened? Did you break up with that last one? I really thought you two were a good match."
Thinking of Tie Niu, Su Ping's smile faded. Several days had passed, and she wondered how he was doing.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Xie Kerong thought she was sad, so she reached out and hugged her, comforting her, "It's okay, don't let a man make you feel bad. You're still so young, there are plenty of men out there."
This action drew Lin Hejing's attention and he couldn't let her steal him away. He had finally found a girl he wanted to develop a serious relationship with.
As the sun sets, its afterglow spills across the sea, creating ripples of gold.
The boy walked to Su Ping's left and, after much mental preparation, finally mustered the courage to block her path.
What do you think of me? Would you like to get to know me?
Seeing the boy's obviously nervous expression, Su Ping decided to reject him: "You're great, but I have a boyfriend. I believe you'll meet the right girl too."
Tu Ling was on the phone with Tu Hengchuan when she noticed the tense atmosphere and decided to come over and annoy her younger brother, only to overhear their conversation.
When Tu Hengchuan heard Su Ping say that she had a boyfriend and clearly rejected others, he suddenly felt very happy for some reason.
He knew that Pingping still liked him, and he felt he couldn't wait to see her and tell her how much he had missed her these past few days.
[Ding! The corruption value of the romanceable character Tu Hengchuan has decreased by 1%, currently at 5%!]
Su Ping was a little dumbfounded, and then she saw Tu Ling standing not far away with her phone. So, while she was on the phone with Tu Hengchuan, Tu Hengchuan had heard what she had just said.
The surprise came so suddenly that she couldn't help but want to laugh, but the current situation was really not suitable for laughing.
After being rejected by Su Ping, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, quickly composed himself, and extended his hand to her: "It seems I was too late. It's okay, I wish you happiness."
His gaze was sincere and upright; he was a boy who could take things in stride.
After shaking hands with him, the boy quickly let go of her, and the two smiled at each other.
That evening, Tu Ling saw Su Ping to the door before leaving, and felt a little regretful after learning that there was no possibility between her and that boy.
Su Ping waved to them and watched them leave before turning around and walking up the steps.
Aunt Mei had come over early to open the door for her after hearing the commotion. Su Ping felt that Aunt Mei's gaze had fallen on her many times, and each time she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Finally, Su Ping couldn't help but ask her, and Aunt Mei then said, "Miss, Mr. Su has returned early and is waiting for you to have dinner."
Mr. Su?
Su Ping didn't react for a moment, then belatedly realized who this was.
Has the original owner's father returned?
