Chapter 837 Ranbao extra (10)
For a fleeting moment, Wen Sichen felt a sense of unease and fear, as if his thoughts had been exposed.
He never expected that Kong Ran would actually manage to unlock the phone's password lock after trying various methods!
But he quickly regained his composure.
Because he knew that with Kong Ran's brain, even if she had a lifetime, she would never be able to figure out why he hadn't changed the password.
The reason why the password was Kong Ran's birthday is actually a long story, dating back to when the two of them were in R country.
At that time, Kong Ran had just arrived in R country when her phone was stolen. She managed to find her way back to the dormitory by asking for directions, only to find that she had forgotten her keys.
Her roommate went to a party and wouldn't be back until the next morning. If Wen Sichen hadn't found out that Kong Ran had come to R country and come looking for her, and hadn't taken her back with him, she would have had to sleep on the street that night.
Upon learning that Kong Ran's phone had been stolen, Wen Sichen immediately reported it to the police and then ordered a new one for her.
However, it would take at least three days for the new phone to arrive, and Kong Ran couldn't avoid contacting the outside world during those three days. So, she had no choice but to share a phone with Wen Sichen for the time being.
But she has a terrible memory; she can't remember Wen Sichen's phone password no matter how many times she tries, and every time she has to ask, "Wen Sichen, what's your password again?"
Later, to save trouble, Wen Sichen simply changed the password to her birthday.
Sure enough, after changing it, she never forgot the password.
After Kong Ran's new phone was mailed back, she never used his phone again. Logically, he should have changed the password back long ago, but for some subtle reason, he never did.
Thinking of the past, Wen Sichen gripped the steering wheel tighter, but maintained a calm expression as he said, "I'm just too lazy to change it."
After he finished speaking, fearing she might object, he added jokingly, "What's wrong? Did you register a patent for your birthday? Do you have to pay a membership fee to use it as a password?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Ran indeed stopped focusing on why he hadn't changed his password and said with a grin, "If you want to pay, that's fine too. I won't charge you much for a year, just a small five-figure sum will do, how about that?"
Wen Sichen scoffed, "Dream on."
Kong Ran was just joking. After bickering with Wen Sichen, he quickly opened WeChat and sent Zhong Lin's postcard to himself.
When she returned the phone to him, she still worried, "To be honest, you should change your password when you have time. Otherwise, if you get a girlfriend in the future, she might misunderstand that your password is some girl's birthday, which would be very embarrassing."
She hadn't forgotten the frustration she felt when she mistook Zhong Lin's cousin for his girlfriend.
Wen Sichen was silent for a moment, then said, "You'd better mind your own business. The way you snatched my phone just now, you weren't even remotely ladylike."
Kong Ran had already taken out his phone and nervously sent the friend request.
Hearing him say that, she naturally replied, "We're so familiar with each other, we all know each other perfectly."
Although he knew she didn't mean what she said, Wen Sichen still turned to glance at her before looking away, a slight smile playing on his lips: "That's true."
...
The car did not head towards Xishan Villa.
Because today is the weekend, it's Kong Ran's family's regular family gathering day.
On this day, whether it's her younger brother Kong Chi, who's always busy and rarely seen, or her younger brother Murong Chen, who works at the police station and is often out of sight for days on missions, or even herself, everyone has to go home on this weekend evening to have dinner with their parents.
This habit has been maintained since they went to college, almost four years now.
Wen Sichen naturally knew this, so he drove the car directly to Dongyue Huafu.
As they approached the villa, Wen Sichen stopped by the roadside and said, "You're not coming back tonight, are you? I'll drive off first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Kong Ran unbuckled his seatbelt: "Okay, but..."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you sure you don't want to come back with me to take a look?"
Wen Sichen paused, then shook his head and smiled, "I won't go for now, we can do it another time. Also... don't tell your parents I'm coming back yet."
Kong Ran knew that it would take a lot of mental preparation for him to meet her parents, so she didn't say much and just nodded: "Okay, drive carefully on your way back."
Wen Sichen waved his hand, closed the car door, and the car sped away in the opposite direction from Dongyue Huafu.
Kong Ran watched the car gradually disappear and finally sighed.
The adult world is really complicated.
Deep down, she really hoped that Wen Sichen could sit down and have a meal with her family, since he was practically all alone in the world right now.
But rationally, she also knew that although it was just a meal, there were countless mountains in her heart that separated them.
Shaking her head, she felt that these grudges and disputes were beyond her ability to resolve on her own. She figured things would work themselves out, and decided not to think about it anymore. She turned and walked into the villa.
In the living room, Kong Wange was directing Murong Ting to cook.
Hearing a sound from the doorway, Murong Ting paused in his potato-cutting motion: "Wife, is our daughter back?"
Kong Wange was much calmer than him, standing by the kitchen door: "Xiao Chi and Xiao Chen are both back, so it must be Ranran who's coming in now."
"Hey, then hurry up and go ask her if she wants her braised pork with quail eggs or not?"
Kong Wange shook her head helplessly. So many years have passed, but Murong Chen still can't get rid of his doting father nature.
Just as she was about to complain about him, Kong Ran's voice came: "Dear Mom and Dad, brothers, your favorite little Ranran is back!"
Hearing Kong Ran's voice, Kong Wange's lips unconsciously curved into a smile: "You start cooking first, I'll go out and take a look."
"Hey, while you're at it, bring her some mung bean soup too, it's hot outside," Murong Ting instructed.
"Okay, I got it. You go ahead and do your thing." She said, picking up the bowl of mung bean soup next to her.
As she passed by the stove, Murong Ting stole a whiff of the aroma before she left, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
Kong Wange immediately hissed and whispered, "You just focus on cooking. The children are back. If they see you again..."
"Don't worry, Mom, we've already seen it."
Kong Ran's voice came from not far away. When Kong Wange looked up, she realized that she, Murong Chen, and Kong Chi had all gathered around at some point.
She immediately coughed lightly and said, "The three of you, why are you walking so quietly?"
Kong Ran chuckled: "You were so focused on interacting with Dad that you didn't notice the sounds, so don't blame us!"
Murong Chen chimed in, "Mom and Dad, you've been married for so long, why are you still being so mushy?"
Murong Ting glanced at him: "What do you know if you can't even find a girlfriend? Hurry up and bring your mother the mung bean soup to the table!"
After saying that, he added, "Ranran and Xiaochi, you two are quite hot since you came back from outside. Your mother cooked the mung bean soup all day today. Drink more to cool down."
Murong Chen: "...Dad, do you have to be so obvious about your preferential treatment?!"
