Chapter 836 Ranbao extra (9)
She was unaware that her image had indeed deeply touched Zhong Lin's heart.
However, the depth she was going into at this moment was not the kind of depth she had imagined.
Before leaving, Kong Ran went to the restroom. Wen Sichen glanced at her retreating figure, then turned to Zhong Lin and asked, "Little Zhong, what do you think of my little niece?"
Zhong Lin was passionately discussing the research progress of polymer materials at several chemical companies when he was suddenly asked this question, and he was immediately stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
He only realized what was happening when he met Wen Sichen's interested gaze, and said embarrassedly, "Xiao Ran is very nice. She's pretty and kind."
"That's it, nothing else?"
Zhong Lin was somewhat confused: "Is there anything else...?"
Wen Sichen smiled and said, "It's nothing. To be honest, my niece is not young anymore and is at the age where she should be looking for a partner. I just wanted to ask the boys around her who are about the same age as her what they think."
"Ah, I do think Xiao Ran is a pretty good person, it's just..." He hesitated.
"That's right?" Wen Sichen guided him appropriately, "You don't need to feel guilty, just tell the truth."
Zhong Lin coughed lightly and subconsciously lowered his voice, saying, "It's just that it's a bit too delicate..."
He scratched his head and said, "As you know, senior, I'm a pretty easygoing person. There's nothing wrong with girls being a little delicate, but it's just that I prefer to be with girls who are more easygoing, otherwise it would be too tiring."
Wen Sichen nodded: "Indeed, sigh, but there's nothing we can do. She's always been this way since she was little. You know her family is quite well-off, and she was spoiled growing up. It's hard to change that pampered nature of hers."
Zhong Lin quickly said, "No, no need to change. She's actually quite good as she is. It's just that someone with my personality might not be a good match for her..."
Wen Sichen's smile widened slightly, and he was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of Kong Ran walking towards them awkwardly in her unfamiliar high heels, and he immediately stopped talking.
He stood up and said with a smile, "It's getting late, let's head back now."
Zhong Lin quickly stood up and said, "Let me see you off."
Before Kong Ran could even say "Okay, okay," Wen Sichen said, "No need to take us there. It's just a few steps from the parking lot; we can go by ourselves."
Zhong Lin nodded and said, "That's fine too. I happen to have a PPT to go over with my colleagues tonight, so I won't stand on ceremony with you, seniors and juniors."
...
After leaving the company, Wen Sichen automatically got into the driver's seat.
Kong Ran was clearly still in a state of excitement, constantly asking Wen Sichen, "How do you think I behaved today? Was I ladylike enough?"
"Yes, lady, you are the most ladylike."
Sensing the perfunctory tone in Wen Sichen's words, Kong Ran retorted unhappily, "I asked you to help me find out what's going on! Did you even ask Senior Zhong Lin how he feels about me?"
On her way here today, she specifically instructed Wen Sichen to find out Zhong Lin's feelings for her when the opportunity arose.
She even went to the restroom before leaving, just to give herself an opportunity.
"I asked," Wen Sichen replied naturally.
"Really? What did he say?!" Kong Ran's eyes sparkled.
Meeting her expectant gaze, Wen Sichen found himself unable to utter the words he had intended to use to discourage her.
"It's... alright," he mumbled.
"What do you mean 'okay'? If you think it's good, it's good; if you think it's bad, it's bad. How can you say it's okay? Wen Sichen, to be honest, did you even ask for me at all?" Kong Ran said, dissatisfied.
Wen Sichen sighed silently in his heart, feeling a little guilty that he couldn't quite explain.
He actually knew very well what kind of girl Zhong Lin liked.
But he still deliberately misled Kong Ran.
He knew why, but the feelings were too terrifying, and it would always remain a secret he could never reveal.
As Kong Ran pressed him for answers, he felt a mixture of melancholy and heartache.
However, his nonchalant expression remained unchanged. He coughed lightly and said, "Don't slander me. Didn't you see me chatting happily with Xiao Zhong when you came out of the bathroom? If you continue with this attitude, don't blame me for not doing these thankless tasks for you anymore."
This statement successfully put Kong Ran in his grasp.
She immediately turned and grabbed his arm: "No, I was just saying that casually. Whether Zhong Lin and I can get together depends on you. Uncle, you are the most considerate, the gentlest, and the one who loves me the most, right? You absolutely cannot bear to see your dear little niece grow old alone and have no one to rely on!"
Wen Sichen got goosebumps from her affected manner and quickly said, "Kong Ran, speak properly!"
"Tch," Kong Ran let go of his hand, looking at him with disdain for his lack of romantic understanding, and sat back down in her seat, pondering: "Why is he being so ambiguous? Tell me, I clearly behaved quite well, didn't I? My clothes and behavior today were quite ladylike, so I should be his type. No, it seems I didn't perform well enough. I have to try harder and find a way to make my presence known to him more."
Upon hearing this, Wen Sichen's heart sank again, and he immediately said without any mercy, "I don't think you have a chance. If you don't have feelings, you don't have feelings. You should give up as soon as possible."
"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who gives up so easily after a little setback? Can you see my forehead?"
Wen Sichen glanced at her: "What did you see?"
“It says four big characters on it: ‘The more setbacks you face, the braver you become!’” Kong Ran immediately said.
Wen Sichen: "..."
"Hey, send me your senior's WeChat." Kong Ran retorted.
Without saying a word, Wen Sichen refused: "No."
"Why?!"
“Zhong Lin is my friend. Is it polite for me to send you his WeChat without his permission?”
Wen Sichen's reasoning seemed irrefutable, and Kong Ran was speechless. The next moment, she simply snatched his phone from the stand.
Wen Sichen: "?"
"Kong Ran, you've gone too far! You don't even bother with stealing, you're practically robbing people!"
Kong Ran didn't care about his excuses. She took the phone with a smug look on her face and said with a snort, "Aren't you feeling guilty? This way it'll all be my initiative, and you can explain it to him later. Hey, what's your phone password?"
"If you're so capable, why do you need to ask me for the password?"
"Tch, fine, don't tell me then. I don't believe I can't solve it." She said, entering Wen Sichen's birthday, which resulted in an error message.
I then tried it twice more, and both times it was wrong.
Seeing that she was really struggling with the phone password, Wen Sichen felt a little flustered and immediately freed one hand: "Alright, alright, give me the phone now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a "ding-dong" sound was heard, and the phone was successfully unlocked.
He turned his head and saw Kong Ran looking at him incredulously: "No way, Wen Sichen, after all these years, you're still using my birthday as your phone password?!"
