Without even glancing at what she had listed on her phone screen, Chen Jie took the phone from her, turned off the screen, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make Aunt Zhen misunderstand. I'll explain it to her later."
I genuinely wanted to be friends with you, and I didn't mean to treat you as a substitute. I called you Ruan Ruan just now simply because of your name, and it had nothing to do with anything else.
Ye Ruan realized at this moment that her reaction just now was a bit too extreme.
Actually, when she was little, her brother always called her Xiao Ruan Ruan, and he still calls her Ruan Ruan now.
She doesn't mind being called Ruan Ruan.
But after returning here, everyone around her seemed to treat her specially because she looked a lot like Su Ruanruan. She often felt like she had become someone else's substitute, and she would feel inexplicably uncomfortable and resentful.
She sat down again and explained what had happened. After that, her conversation with Chen Jie went much more smoothly.
After the dishes were served, the tea set was removed.
It must be said that the food tasted really good. I don't know if Chen Jie can cook, but he is definitely a good eater. He can talk about the ingredients, cooking techniques and historical heritage of a dish.
Ye Ruan was quickly drawn in by what he was saying and listened attentively.
They didn't notice at all that a gaze, as cold as frost, fell upon them from behind a window opposite their private room.
When Gu Chen saw Ye Ruan looking at Chen Jie, her faint smile and the girlish admiration in her eyes emanated a chilling aura.
Su Xiaowu walked to his side and followed his gaze to look across the street.
"I heard you recently got a girlfriend. Is it that girl who was having dinner with Chen Jie across the street?" Su Xiaowu lit a cigarette and blew out smoke rings. In his daze, he felt that the girl who was having dinner with Chen Jie across the street looked a bit like Xiao Ruanruan.
But then a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. It seemed that he had developed some kind of problem over the years, often seeing a little girl who was about the same age as Xiao Ruanruan and thinking that she was Xiao Ruanruan.
On several other occasions, he rushed up to people and patted them on the shoulder, only to be mistaken for a pervert.
"Gu Chen, if that girl is really the one you've got your eye on, I advise you to back off as soon as possible and not get too involved. Look at how she looks at Chen Jie, her eyes are full of admiration. She definitely likes Chen Jie, you have no chance."
Su Xiaowu stubbed out her cigarette and patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, offering some words of advice.
Then, he frowned and glanced at the door with dissatisfaction. "Why isn't Lu Wei here yet? I shouldn't have agreed to come out with him. He always stands me up. I might get scolded by Xiao Taozi later."
I don't know what I'm hoping to gain by going out for a meal with him.
Gu Chen ignored Su Xiaowu and turned to walk out of the private room. "I'm going to the restroom."
Su Xiaowu watched Gu Chen's back as he left the private room, then scratched her head in confusion, "Isn't there a restroom in the private room?"
Ye Ruan was listening attentively to Chen Jie's explanation of the inheritance of the three treasures of deer antler when Chen Jie's phone suddenly rang. After glancing at the caller ID, Chen Jie said to Ye Ruan with a look of apology, "Ruan Ruan, I need to take this call."
"Mm." Ye Ruan nodded slightly.
After Chen Jie went out to answer the phone, she also got up, wanting to go out for some fresh air.
But as soon as she stepped out of the embrace, she was suddenly pulled aside by a strong hand. She instinctively gathered her strength in her hand, but before she could unleash her prepared killing move, she had already met a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient well.
She let down her guard and became completely relaxed. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm having dinner with friends. What about you?" Gu Chen was initially a little angry when he came out of the private room, but when he saw her, he couldn't muster any anger at all. Although his words were stiff, they were still quite pleasant.
“Oh, Chen Jie invited me to dinner.” Ye Ruan said frankly, “Yes, he said he wanted to apologize for what happened the day before yesterday. I was in the wrong in Lan Wang’s matter the day before yesterday, and I wanted to find an opportunity to explain things to him, so I came.”
Looking into her open and clear eyes, Gu Chen felt all the last bit of anger in his heart vanish.
He suddenly lowered his head and pressed his cool lips hard against Ye Ruan's soft lips.
Ye Ruan's eyes widened, and before she could react, Gu Chen had already stepped back, reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Go home early after you finish eating. Tell me what you want to eat next time, and I'll cook it for you."
Go back!
When Ye Ruan walked back to Lantingxu, her mind was still in a daze. So much so that she couldn't hear anything Chen Jie said to her afterward, her mind filled with Gu Chen's forceful and domineering kiss.
When Gu Chen returned to the private room, Lu Wei had already arrived.
Su Xiaowu was complaining about Lu Wei, "Are you still working for Xiao Taozi or are you being kept by her? Have you become the Tao family's live-in son-in-law? Why are you being so strict with her?"
Not to brag, but my dog is freer than yours.
Lu Wei looked at Su Xiaowu with a resentful expression. "Brother, I finally managed to get out of here. Can you please stop hurting my feelings? I can't fight back, and I can't run away. What can I do?"
Su Xiaowu didn't dwell on Lu Wei, mainly because Gu Chen had returned.
Moreover, Gu Chen looks really strange right now.
He was as cold as an ice sculpture when he went out, but when he came back, he had an undisguised smile on his face.
