Chapter 845 Ranbao extra (18)
"You haven't even met, and you already know it's not a good match?"
"Didn't we have a meal together before? Besides, I'm so busy with work right now, I don't have time..."
“Xiao Zhong,” Wen Sichen suddenly interrupted him.
"ah……"
"Regarding the date, it's either you agree or you don't."
As soon as Wen Sichen finished speaking, Zhong Lin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently, "I knew my senior was still very understanding..."
“We’ll talk about the investment later,” Wen Sichen said before he could finish.
Zhong Lin: "?!"
He immediately said nervously, "Wait, senior!"
"Is there anything else?"
“Investment…we can’t just let this go. You know our company is waiting for this money to continue this project, and I can’t find a more suitable investor than you right now…” Zhong Lin was so anxious that he could barely speak.
“Xiao Zhong, you’ve got something wrong,” Wen Sichen slowly exhaled a smoke ring from the balcony of Xishan Villa. “The decision of whether or not to take the investment is now yours, not mine.”
Zhong Lin: "..."
After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "I... I can only try to get to know Kong Ran better and go on dates with her. I... I can't do that."
Wen Sichen slightly curved his lips: "Okay."
Zhong Lin across from him breathed a sigh of relief: "Then... about the investment..."
"Don't worry, the money will arrive on time."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Sichen stubbed out his cigarette on the railing and tossed it into the nearby trash can. He then leaned against the balcony, watching the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind, and chuckled self-deprecatingly after a while.
Wen Sichen, Wen Sichen, when did you become so selfless?
...
Kong Ran slept until the afternoon of the next day. When she opened her eyes, the sun was at its scorching hottest.
She was parched from the scorching sun and had no choice but to get up and groggily look for water to drink.
When she got to the living room, she immediately saw Wen Sichen sitting on the sofa, working on some documents.
She paused, her eyes half-closed: "What are you doing at home?"
She didn't realize it until she opened her mouth, and when she did, she was almost startled by her own voice.
She only had a little to drink last night, how come her voice is so hoarse?!
Wen Sichen only looked up from the mess of contracts when he heard her speak, then pointed to the cup on the table: "The water is here."
Kong Ran hurriedly wandered over, picked up the cup, and gulped down more than half of it.
Only when the sweet taste returned to her mouth did she belatedly realize that she had actually drunk honey water.
The refreshing water glides down your throat, bringing indescribable comfort.
She sighed and couldn't resist taking two more sips.
Wen Sichen glanced at the water stains at the corner of her mouth, then awkwardly looked away before she put down her glass. He grabbed a tissue from the table and said, "You're a grown woman, and you still make a mess when you drink water. Aren't you afraid your boyfriend will laugh at you when you're in a relationship?"
"Anyone who can laugh at me can never be my boyfriend." Kong Ran took the paper nonchalantly and wiped his mouth haphazardly.
"You talk a good game, but when it comes to doing it, you're a completely different person," Wen Sichen mocked her mercilessly.
Kong Ran: "..."
Without saying a word, she kicked Wen Sichen, holding her water glass, and said, "You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics. By the way, let me ask you, how did I get back yesterday?"
"You don't remember?" Wen Sichen raised an eyebrow at her.
Kong Ran coughed lightly: "I drank a little too much yesterday..."
"Don't you remember that yesterday someone insisted on dancing the Swan Lake with their best friend in the street, grabbed a passerby and started singing for them, and then started dissing every man they met?"
Kong Ran: "...Wen Sichen, don't spread rumors!"
"Tsk, do I need to spread rumors?" Wen Sichen looked at her calmly.
Seeing his certainty, Kong Ran felt uneasy and asked nervously, "Was I really that crazy yesterday?"
"This is just the tip of the iceberg; there are many more exciting behind-the-scenes stories for me to tell you one by one..."
"Wait, no need!" Kong Ran didn't want to recall it.
She actually has a decent alcohol tolerance; usually, when she drinks too much, she just becomes a little more uninhibited. What happened yesterday was simply because she drank a bit too much.
"Um, what about Miaomiao? Did you get her back safely?"
Speaking of Chu Simiao, Wen Sichen thought for a moment and asked, "Your best friend has a good relationship with Lin Cheng?"
Kong Ran was taken aback: "Uncle Lin Cheng? Why are you bringing him up? They don't even know each other."
Seeing her like this, Wen Sichen knew that she obviously knew less than he did, so he could only sigh and tell her what had happened last night.
Kong Ran was stunned for a moment, and then asked incredulously, "So you mean that Miao Miao not only knows Uncle Lin Cheng, but they are also very close?"
"I wouldn't say we're very close," he said calmly. "Your best friend only has his contact information in her contacts."
Kong Ran: "..."
After a long pause, she sighed: "Miaomiao's family situation is special. Her father passed away a long time ago, and her mother raised her alone. But her mother is a bit too controlling..."
You said her daughter got into medical school, which is pretty impressive, right? But her mother is still not satisfied. She controls what her daughter wears, what friends she makes, and she has to report when she goes out. There's even a curfew at 10 pm. She makes her daughter study this and that all the time, treating her like a learning machine. Anyway, Miaomiao's relationship with her mother is pretty strained, so it's normal that she doesn't have her family's phone numbers saved, but..."
She just couldn't understand how she and Lin Cheng met!
And it's obvious that she hasn't found out about this yet.
Can she tolerate this?
No, she has to find out the truth about this!
She was about to get up and grab the phone when she thought about it.
Wen Sichen grabbed her arm and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
"Of course, we need to find out what's going on between her and Uncle Lin Cheng!"
"Wait, sit down first." Wen Sichen pressed her down and then asked casually, "You said you and your best friend are close, right? You usually talk about everything?"
"yes."
"Have you ever considered that the reason she didn't tell you about this is because she doesn't want you to know yet?"
Kong Ran: "..."
It must be said that Wen Sichen's line of thinking makes sense.
But she and Miaomiao are such good friends, why would she need to hide anything from her?
Thinking about it this way, she felt inexplicably a little wronged.
Wen Sichen took the water glass from her hand and placed it on the table: "Don't overthink it. Maybe your best friend isn't ready to tell you yet. She'll tell you when she's ready. You've been friends for so many years, surely you can't even trust her this much?"
After being comforted by him, Kong Ran nodded: "You're right. I should give her some space and time. When she wants to talk, she will definitely tell me."
