"Ranran, thank you so much, Auntie. If it weren't for you, my Zifan would be...now, I wouldn't even dare to think..."
"Aunt Jane, don't be sad, it's all a false alarm."
In the cafe, Yun Ranran sat close to Jian's mother, holding a stack of tissues in her hand and comforting her while handing her tissues. She was able to ignore the occasional glances from people around her.
Mother Jane choked up again, took the tissue and wiped away her tears gracefully, her expression finally stabilizing after this burst of venting.
"Ranran." She held Yun Ranran's hand and said with a gentle smile: "I just ran into you at the police station. Auntie really wanted to thank you, but I didn't expect you to listen to so much of my nagging."
"It's okay, I'm fine, Auntie." Yun Ranran repeated it again, waved her hand and smiled.
After her smile faded, she added, "I just happened to encounter this incident. Auntie, you don't have to come and thank me specially."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Today's meeting was rushed. Ranran, please leave your contact information for Auntie. Auntie would like to invite you to have dinner at home someday."
Mother Jane interrupted her and spoke gently but without letting anyone refuse.
Yun Ranran met the gentle smile on Jian's mother's face, hesitated for a moment and didn't refuse: "Okay, then I'll go to your house for dinner another day."
After saying this, it was almost noon.
"Aunt Jane, it's almost noon, so I'll go back first."
Before leaving, Yun Ranran told Yunmu that she would be back soon. After exchanging phone numbers, she didn't want to delay any longer and said goodbye to Jian's mother.
"Oh! Okay, Auntie won't keep you any longer." Jane's mother smiled gently on her beautiful fair face. After nodding and speaking, she waved to the waiter in the store: "Hello, is the dessert I ordered ready?"
The waiter in the coffee shop came over and nodded slightly when he heard this: "Ma'am, she's ready. Please wait a moment."
Yun Ranran watched this scene, then turned to look at Mother Jian in confusion. She smiled and said, "Ranran, Auntie bought some desserts. Take them home and eat them first."
"Auntie, I... don't need it." Yun Ranran understood what she meant and quickly raised her hand to refuse.
Mother Jian took the packaged dessert, handed it to Yun Ranran with a smile, and said, "I've already bought it. Ranran, take it back and try it. Just think of it as a little gift from your auntie today."
Now that things have come to this, she can't refuse anymore.
"Okay, then thank you Aunt Jane for your gift." Yun Ranran stood up and took the beautifully packaged dessert bag, curling her lips to express her gratitude.
Mother Jian watched Yun Ranran take the bag and smiled with satisfaction. Then she turned around and took out a black card and handed it to the coffee shop waiter: "Hello, please swipe this card to pay the bill."
The waiter took the black card and said politely with a smile, "Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment."
The checkout process in the coffee shop was very fast. Yun Ranran watched as the waiter returned the card to Jane's mother after a while, said goodbye at the door of the store and left.
"Auntie, I'll be leaving first."
Mother Jian put the card away and looked up again, only to see Yun Ranran had already walked a few steps away. She smiled helplessly and murmured, "This child, how could she walk so fast?"
"Madam, we are now..."
Outside the store, a burly man in a suit strode over and stopped beside Jane's mother. After seeing her look away, he lowered his head and asked respectfully.
The smile on Mother Jian's face slowly faded. She raised her hand to gently adjust the hem of her skirt, then walked forward with her handbag in hand and said, "Let's go to the hospital to see Zifan."
"Yes, ma'am."
The man in a suit responded respectfully and quickly followed. He opened the door of a black Mercedes-Benz business car parked on the side of the road and let Jane's mother get in.
Afterwards, the black car quickly disappeared in the traffic.
On this side, Yun Ranran was walking on the road carrying a bag of desserts. From time to time, she looked down at the desserts in the bag, with a complex look flashing in her eyes. When passing an intersection, she was in a trance and almost bumped into a telephone pole.
"What are you thinking about?"
Tian Miaomiao and she now share the same vision. Seeing this situation, she asked with some confusion.
"I..." Yun Ranran raised her delicate eyes when she heard the voice, looking a little surprised and awkward.
She pursed her lips and didn't lower her head again. She hesitated and said, "I think you should be the one to thank for this. I didn't help much at the time."
When Tian Miaomiao heard this, her mind changed and she understood Yun Ranran's somewhat awkward thoughts at the moment.
No one wants to be a bad person. If given the chance, everyone wants to be an upright and popular good person.
Yun Ranran now feels that, to some extent, she has claimed credit that does not belong to her, and she feels a little uncomfortable with the gifts and thanks received for this credit.
Tian Miaomiao knew that this was because she was an honest child with a good nature, so she smiled and said:
"Ranran, my original intention in doing this was to help you, and your original intention was to help others. This gift was not given to the wrong person."
Yun Ranran was stunned when she heard this, but her pursed lips relaxed.
She stood by the roadside, moved the dessert bag in her hand, and murmured softly:
"Anyway, this is all your fault. Do you like dessert? Let's eat together when we get back."
"Okay, I want to try every flavor and see which one is the best." Tian Miaomiao continued cooperatively and did not refuse Yun Ranran's kindness.
From the time they started communicating in the hospital in the morning to their casual conversations now, their relationship has undoubtedly become much closer.
Tian Miaomiao is not in a hurry about the task at the moment. The ups and downs and twists and turns she experienced in a short period of time have made her mentality completely stable, and she plans to take a long-term approach.
"Okay, let you try every flavor."
After hearing what Tian Miaomiao said, Yun Ranran agreed seriously, her expression gradually relaxed, and then she reached out to stop a taxi on the side of the road and went home.
After returning home, she finished her lunch and directly put out several desserts in the bedroom. After tasting each one, she carefully asked Tian Miaomiao's opinion and fulfilled what she had promised her.
"They are all delicious, but I'll just take a small bite of each, no need to eat too much." Tian Miaomiao said softly.
Hearing this, Yun Ranran also breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just finished lunch, and to be honest, she really couldn't eat these desserts.
Looking at the desserts on the table, each of which was only missing a corner, Yun Ranran's delicate eyes lit up as she explained to herself, "Since you don't want to eat anymore, I'll put these desserts in the refrigerator first."
"Yeah, put it away." Tian Miaomiao said.
Yun Ranran took a few bags of desserts, got up and walked out of the bedroom to the living room to put them in the refrigerator, and happened to run into Yun Chen who was playing with building blocks on the carpet.
Yun Chen heard footsteps and looked up to see what she was holding. His grape-like black eyes showed curiosity and he asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Don't mind yourselves, kids. Just play with your toys."
Yun Ranran put the dessert away, closed the refrigerator, said something without moving her head, then clapped her hands and turned back to the bedroom.
