Chapter 115 Lu Ran

"I still have some money left from last month's salary. Since you fell into a coma, I haven't bought any new clothes, shoes or bags this month, so I still have more than half of last month's salary left, about 6,000 yuan. Just leave me 1,000 yuan for living expenses. I'm supposed to repay you for saving my life, so I have to buy you some gifts to show my sincerity. I can't just treat you to a meal, right?"

After Shen Baozhu finished speaking, she ran back to the room barefoot, took out a bank card and slapped it directly into Lin Nuan's hand.

It feels like I'm giving you my card and you can use it as you like.

If I didn't know how much money was in her card, I would have thought she had a card with unlimited spending limits.

"Don't worry, I will never let you go hungry this month. I will definitely compensate you well when I get my salary next month."

Lin Nuan took the bank card without hesitation. There was no need for them to pretend to be nice and push each other back and forth.

After breakfast, the two of them packed up briefly and went shopping together to buy gifts. The agreed time for lunch was 12 noon, so they still had two hours to choose gifts.

The two of them walked around the street for two rounds but couldn't find anyone they liked. There were many things they could give as gifts, but the ones they liked were either too expensive or not suitable for their relationship.

"Why don't I just give out red envelopes directly!"

"He's your lifesaver. How much is your life worth? How much is the red envelope?"

Life is priceless, how can it be measured by money? If so, even if you lose everything you own, it will not be enough.

Lin Nuan was a little discouraged. "Neither this nor that will work. How about just giving them a tie clip? Didn't you say that those two people look like business elites? They should wear formal clothes all the time. Tie clips won't make them look intimate, nor will they look cheap."

"I think that's fine."

Lin Nuan and Shen Baozhu finally decided to choose a tie clip as a gift.

They walked into a boutique and carefully selected the right tie clip.

Lin Nuan picked up a simple and exquisite tie clip, which was inlaid with small diamonds and shone with a faint light.

"How about this?" Lin Nuan asked.

Shen Baozhu nodded, "It looks very good, simple and elegant."

The two paid and took the gift to the agreed restaurant. Along the way, Lin Nuan felt a little nervous, wondering if this gift could express her gratitude to her lifesaver, and whether she would be disliked and felt that she was not valued enough.

When they arrived at the restaurant, it was a few minutes before 12 o'clock.

Shen Baozhu took a deep breath, and she felt as if her heartbeat was ringing in her ears. Compared with Lin Nuan, the person who was repaying the favor today, she seemed more nervous. From her tightly clenched hands and slightly trembling body movements, it was obvious that she was feeling uneasy and expectant. This emotion showed that she attached great importance to what was about to happen, perhaps even beyond the normal level.

Lin Nuan teased her a few times before she realized that she was not that nervous anymore.

They walked into the restaurant together, and before they had waited too long, a figure in a fine suit came into view. The man was tall and slender, with outstanding temperament, giving people an impression of elegance and confidence. His appearance attracted the attention of the people around him, but he didn't seem to care about these glances, and walked towards the direction of Shen Baozhu and Lin Nuan with concentration.

The man walked to the table and greeted them with a smile. Shen Baozhu and Lin Nuan stood up, feeling a little excited.

"Hello, I'm Lu Ran. Another friend of mine is on a business trip and won't be able to come back these two days. He asked me to apologize to you two on his behalf and congratulate Miss Lin on her discharge from the hospital. It's just a small favor from us, so I hope you don't take it to heart." His voice was low and magnetic.

"I'm sorry that I can't thank you in person, but it was all thanks to you two that day. Otherwise, my friend would have never been able to get to the hospital and might even have lost his life. I still have to thank you."

Lin Nuan handed him the gift in her hand, "This is a small token of our appreciation to you. Thank you for saving me."

Lu Ran took the gift, opened the box, and saw the tie clip inside. A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. "It's very beautiful. I like it very much. I believe my friend should like it too."

"As long as you like it." Lin Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

The three of them sat down and started to enjoy lunch. They ate and talked, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Lin Nuan and Shen Baozhu found that Lu Ran was not only handsome, but also gentle and well-spoken.

After lunch, Lu Ran looked at his watch and stood up. "I have something else to do, so I have to go first. Thank you again for your gift."

"I should be the one to thank you. Goodbye." Lin Nuan and Shen Baozhu said goodbye to him.

Looking at Lu Ran's leaving back, Shen Baozhu sighed, "He is such a perfect man."

Lin Nuan smiled and shook her head, "Stop being a fangirl, let's go home too."

Shen Baozhu held her arm and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the other one didn't come today."

"You don't want to use this excuse to ask her out again, do you? If you like her, then express your feelings openly and honestly. Don't use me as a pretext. She saved my life, don't let that turn into resentment. Besides, this is what you like, and having a better understanding of her has already achieved your goal, right?"

Lin Nuan didn’t really care. She had already expressed her gratitude and sent the gift. As long as the thought was there, it was fine. There was no need to meet the person. If the person didn’t come, it might be because he really had something to do, or he might not want to come.

He had done good deeds before without leaving his name. People like him are usually most afraid of trouble and do not expect anything in return for their kindness.

Shen Baozhu was indeed very happy chatting with Lu Ran today. It was their third meeting and her favorability towards him had increased a little. It could be said that she was attracted by his looks before, but now she was more attracted by his personal charm.

We met three times in total, and we were just acquaintances of strangers. In addition, the occasion was not right today. We came to repay a favor, not to find a boyfriend, so some questions were not appropriate to ask. However, after this meal, we became more familiar with each other, which was a little progress.

"Don't worry, I have a good impression of him and think we are destined to be together. In relationships, sometimes you have to take the initiative. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Just wait and see!"

Seeing Shen Baozhu's determination to win, Lin Nuan reminded her.

"Before you pursue someone, you must first understand the situation and see if he has a girlfriend. Also, you must learn from your previous experience. Once you like someone, you should not care about anything else."

Chen Baozhu looked at her best friend who was pouring cold water on her, and her eyes became somewhat resentful.

"I finally met someone I like, can't you give me some encouragement?"

Lin Nuan gave her a cheering gesture, "Come on!"

There is no need to explain the tacit understanding between the two, and some things do not need to be made too clear, as they both know what is going on.
