Chapter 421 Does She Regret?
It turns out that the eldest lady never tells lies.
As soon as Xiao Han put down his chopsticks, Meng Anran took him back to the room to change clothes and insisted on taking him shopping.
While shaving, he looked through the mirror at the girl leaning against the bathroom door behind him. He felt helpless but also warm in his heart.
"There's no need to watch me so closely, right? I wouldn't hurt myself."
"I'm afraid you'll just do it perfunctorily. I don't want to take a homeless person out." Meng Anran lowered his head and played with the lighter in his hand.
After shaving, Xiao Han washed off the foam and wiped dry with a towel.
Looking at myself in the mirror again, I felt ten years younger and more energetic.
I also need to wash my hair.
He casually found a topic to talk about: "Why don't you accompany your sister to go shopping, but come to accompany me instead?"
"Family members aren't necessarily the most familiar people." Meng Anran leaned lazily against the door. "I left her a secondary card so she could go hang out with her bestie."
Family members are the closest people to you, but most of the time they are not the closest people.
Just like Xiao Han contacted her immediately after the breakup, wanting to talk to her instead of going home to face all the questions from his parents.
For example, Meng Yushu has been in the entertainment industry for five years and must have encountered many troubles, but she never told her family about them and basically confided them all to Qiao Yichen.
People cannot choose their birth or their relatives.
Friends are the only family members you can choose for yourself. They are the ones you can confide in and who understand your existence better.
At least that's what Meng Anran knows.
If we exclude the common phenomenon of "business marriage" in the circle, lover can barely be considered a way of choosing family.
However, there is a risk of losing both money and people.
Just like Mu Yuqin’s marriage.
Xiao Han rinsed off the foam, pulled out a dry towel to wrap his hair, stood up and looked at Meng Anran.
There was an indescribable feeling of being moved in his eyes, a feeling that seemed a little fake.
"Miss, I love you forever!"
Meng Anran rolled her eyes: "Get lost! Stop insulting me!"
She was so disgusted that she got goosebumps all over her body!
After Xiao Han dried his hair, he simply combed his hairstyle with hair clay and hairspray, changed into decent clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.
Meng Anran finally nodded with satisfaction.
The dark grey turtleneck sweater and black wool coat made him look tall and slender. His chin was clean-shaven and his hair was neatly styled with hairspray.
Like a young man in fine clothes and riding a horse.
"That's the Xiao Han I know." She spun the car keys in her hand. "Let's go to the newly opened MixC. I heard they have new spring products launching there."
Xiao Han raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you want to go there? What if you run into Meng Zhen..."
"Don't worry." Meng Anran shook her phone. "Just confirmed, she's going to sing karaoke with her bestie in the west of the city. It won't end until six o'clock."
A complex emotion flashed across Xiao Han's eyes, but he quickly concealed it: "Miss, you are so thoughtful."
The car drove smoothly on the elevated road in the city center.
Meng Anran looked out the car window at the passing clouds and asked casually, "Will you be unwilling to accept this?"
The atmosphere in the car froze instantly. Xiao Han's fingers tapped the armrest unconsciously. After a while, he spoke: "Of course there will be, but... our personalities are not compatible. There is really no other way."
"I thought you would try to stay, change yourself, and accommodate her more."
"You know me. I can't give up my career for love. If we continue talking, both she and I will be very tired."
Meng Anran glanced at him and didn't respond.
She knew Xiao Han's working conditions - he could go without sleep for three days for a design draft, and it was normal for him to keep his phone on silent and be isolated from the world.
Overtime work is commonplace, and except for holidays, he cannot spare much time to take care of his lover's emotions.
But Meng Zhen is a person with extremely strong emotional value needs.
Even if they are reluctant to separate now and continue to be entangled, the extreme difference in their personalities will not allow them to go far.
Instead of becoming enemies due to quarrels in the end, it is better to make a decisive decision and part ways peacefully.
"You and Qin Mu have known for a long time that Meng Zhen and I are not suitable, right?" Xiao Han asked coldly.
"Yeah." Meng Anran admitted frankly, "Unsuitable doesn't mean impossible. Although the ending is still unsatisfactory, I know you won't regret it."
"Have you asked Meng Zhen?" Xiao Han glanced at her sideways, "Does she regret it?"
Meng Anran's eyes trembled slightly, "Maybe, she has too little experience."
She could have analyzed the interests involved thoroughly with Meng Zhen from the beginning and helped her avoid this emotional hurt.
But she didn't want to.
Life is a road of no return, and no one can give Meng Zhen a correct answer at every fork in the road.
Meng Zhen always has to experience something personally, try, and work hard, but in the end, no matter what the outcome is, she has to grit her teeth and swallow it.
The more you are tortured, the less likely you are to become sentimental and tormented by internal friction when you encounter trivial things in the future.
Xiao Han didn't comment too much on Meng Anran's thoughts.
The eldest daughter is only 23 years old now, but she has seen a lot of ups and downs, so it is inevitable that she is a little cruel when treating her sister and brother.
He knew that Meng Anran was genuinely concerned about her sister and brother.
This is the fastest way to make them grow up.
Just like how Lu Heng treated her before.
The MixC was crowded with people. Meng Anran took Xiao Han straight to the men's clothing area on the third floor and chose his favorite brand store.
After entering the VIP room, she sat down on the sofa.
He pulled out a black card from his bag and threw it on the table.
"You choose, I'll pay."
Xiao Han took a deep breath and looked at her in admiration.
The way the young lady waved the black card just now was so cool!
The gold medal salesperson came out with a group of followers pushing a dozen carts filled with the latest wallets, cufflinks, ties, belts and other accessories.
The design is beautiful and the price is beautiful too.
Xiao Han walked over slowly and scanned the items on the cart one by one, as easily as ordering food.
After choosing accessories, I started picking clothes.
Meng Anran sat there for three and a half hours, and saw the bill was 38 million.
"Swipe the card." She didn't even blink when she entered the password.
There's nothing you can do about it. The eldest lady doesn't have much of anything except a lot of money.
It's only right to spend a little money to make your friends happy.
Xiao Han clenched his fists, his hands shaking uncontrollably. "I don't have to look at the price when buying things, and I don't even have to pay for it myself. It's so cool!"
Meng Anran glanced at him and smiled helplessly, "Let's go, Xi Yulie has new models, let's go take a look."
Xiao Han followed and asked doubtfully, "Xi Yulie seems to be a watch brand under the former Lu Group, right?"
"Well, Lu's went bankrupt, and Xi Yulie was acquired by Lu Yi."
"Oh...why do I feel like Lu Heng and Lu Yi planned Lu's bankruptcy?"
Meng Anran smiled intriguingly, "Who knows?"
By six o'clock, Xiao Han had successfully spent Meng Anran's weekly earnings.
The bodyguards who had been secretly protecting Meng Anran were called over by her and promoted to bag-carrying boys.
"Are you happy?" Meng Anran's mood couldn't help but improve as she looked at Xiao Han, who even walked with a swagger.
Xiao Han nodded seriously, "I finally understand why women like to spend money. Spending money is so satisfying!"
"Okay! One last project!" Meng Anran's gaze fell on Xiao Han's half-black and half-brown hair, "Dye your hair back to yellow!"
