Halfway through the meal, Xu Wan's cell phone rang. It was a work call, so she went to the balcony to answer it.
Jiang Chuning looked at her back and asked Ruan Xingwan in a low voice: "Is Sister Xu Wan okay?
That scumbag..."
Just as she was mid-sentence, she was touched on the arm.
Jiang Chuning didn't know why, and his eyes widened in curiosity.
Ruan Chen's movements in his hand paused, and his voice became colder: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Chuning's words just now were interrupted by Ruan Xingwan, so she did not dare to continue talking, so she immersed herself in eating.
Ruan Xingwan said: "It's nothing, everything has been resolved."
At this time, Xu Wan came back after answering the phone. Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was a bit strange, he hesitated and said: "What happened...?"
Pei Shanshan clenched her fists and was filled with indignation: "Did that scumbag come to trouble you again?
He really has no sense of shame!"
Xu Wan subconsciously looked at Ruan Chen, opened his mouth and said, "After today, he probably won't come again."
Ruan Xingwan also continued: "Lin Nan has taken care of it."
Xu Wan nodded: "Yes, it's okay. Let's eat."
Pei Shanshan wanted to say something else, but she caught Ruan Xingwan's look in time, looked at Ruan Chen belatedly, and immediately closed her mouth.
Xu Wan changed the topic at the right time and said to Ruan Xingwan: "I heard that Mr. Zhou spent a lot of money tonight to buy a ring. Is it the one you have?"
Pei Shanshan also said: "No wonder, I just felt good-looking.
Stars, can I see them?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded, took off the ring and handed it over.
While watching, Pei Shanshan couldn't help but sigh: "The more I look at it, the better it looks. How much did it cost?"
Xu Wan said a number.
Pei Shanshan: "..."
She instantly felt that the ring in her hand weighed a thousand pounds, and she was afraid of falling when she held it.
Pei Shanshan clicked her tongue twice and returned the ring to Ruan Xingwan: "Mr. Zhou is so inhumane. It's almost 200 million. I have never seen so much money in my life."
Ruan Xingwan didn't know what he thought of, so he smiled and said nothing.
After eating, Ruan Chen packed up the food box without saying a word and put it in the trash can, preparing to take it away and throw it into the trash can later.
Ruan Xingwan coughed and looked at Xu Wan: "Your driver is downstairs."
"Here I am."
"Then help me send Xiaochen back."
Without waiting for Xu Wan to answer, Ruan Chen said: "I'll take a taxi myself."
Ruan Xingwan said: "It's quite late. What kind of taxi do you want to take? If you don't let Xu Wan take you off, I will drive you off."
Pei Shanshan also came over and said: "Yes, yes, listen to your sister, it is very dangerous for boys to walk at night now, especially a handsome boy like you. What if you meet someone with evil intentions and lust for beauty like me?"
Auntie, you will be out of luck."
Ruan Chen: "..."
Xu Wan stood aside, holding back a smile and said: "I know where he lives, I will send him back."
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "Then leave it to you."
Ruan Chen packed up the garbage and took his bag: "Let's go."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Call me when you get home and don't run around."
As she spoke, she took advantage of Xu Wan's lack of attention and whispered: "If you go to Qin Yuhui again, I will ask Zhou Cishen to send someone to keep an eye on you 24 hours a day."
Ruan Chen pursed his thin lips slightly and said nothing.
At the door, Xu Wan changed his shoes: "Let's go."
Ruan Xingwan was about to go back, so he went out with them. When they got on the elevator, he turned to Jiang Chuning and said, "You should go back to bed too, it's quite late."
Jiang Chuning whispered: "Sister, did I say the wrong thing just now?"
Ruan Xingwan smiled, and for a while he didn't know how to explain this complicated situation.
"No, go to bed."
Jiang Chuning said "Oh": "Good night, sister."
Then he turned around and waved to Pei Shanshan inside: "Good night, Sister Shanshan."
…
When they got downstairs, after Ruan Chen threw away the garbage, Xu Wan said: "I just called the driver. He will be here soon. Just wait here."
Ruan Chen stood next to her and was quiet for a few seconds before speaking: "What did he do to you?"
Xu Wan said easily: "It's nothing. Your sister and Mr. Zhou arrived in time. He couldn't do anything. Instead, he was threatened by Mr. Zhou. He will never come to me again after that."
"Before they come."
Xu Wan was silent before saying: "It's still the same as before, saying some random things, but I didn't take it seriously."
Ruan Chen said no more.
Soon, Xu Wan's car stopped in front of them.
Xu Wan opened the car door and bent down to get in when she found Ruan Chen's hand on the roof of the car, just above her head to prevent her from being hit.
Xu Wan was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered his thoughts and got in the car.
After Ruan Chen also came up, Xu Wan reported an address.
Along the way, neither Xu Wan nor Ruan Chen spoke, and the quiet atmosphere in the car continued to spread.
I don’t know how long it took, but the car stopped at the gate of a community, and the driver said: “We’re here.”
Xu Wan lowered the window and took a look: "Is this here?"
Ruan Chen said: "Yes."
He opened the car door and got out. When he turned around, he saw Xu Wan getting out with him.
Xu Wan moved his neck: "Let's go."
Ruan Chen turned his head and looked at her.
Xu Wandao: "Your sister told me to send you home."
Ruan Chen said: "This is fine."
"We're all downstairs, why don't you invite me up for a glass of water?"
Ruan Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xu Wan looked at him: "You told me last time that you lived here, weren't you lying to me?"
"No."
"That's okay."
After finishing speaking, Xu Wan raised his legs and walked straight towards the community.
Ruan Chen stood there for a few seconds before following him.
The two walked in tandem without speaking.
Xu Wan kept his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, her wrist was pulled, and Ruan Chen's faint voice sounded in her ears: "This way."
Xu Wan raised his head and looked at it, then walked in his direction.
Ruan Chen let go of his hand and lifted his legs up the stairs.
Xu Wan touched her wrist, wondering if it was because the temperature in the summer night was still hot, which caused her to feel the slightest bit of hot breath where Ruan Chen had just held her hand.
The elevator stopped and Ruan Chen took the key to open the door.
Xu Wan stood behind him, suddenly feeling a little impulsive.
This was her first time visiting a single boy's home.
I always feel a little... nervous.
Just when Xu Wan was exhaling secretly, Ruan Chen had already opened the door and said to her: "Come in."
Xu Wan walked inside while looking for a topic: "Do you live alone?"
