Chapter 653 - A Chance Encounter (2/2)

The girl had a head of short hair and was well-dressed. Unlike other girls who put on makeup, she looked natural and fresh, with long, elegant eyebrows, a pair of charming eyes, and a delicate nose. It turned out Huang Ruoran.

“Well, well, well… Isn’t this your friend, dear? What a coincidence to meet you here again!” Ian sneered, chuckling wryly.

Xiao Luo looked at Huang Ruoran, who looked at him awkwardly in the passenger seat. “Yes, what a coincidence.”

“Xiao Luo…”

Huang Ruoran lowered her head in shame. Then, she mustered her courage and turned to her companion. “Ian, I’ve to talk to him alone. I’ll call you when we’re done.”

“Okay, Honey.”

As if showing off in front of Xiao Luo, Ian leaned over and planted a kiss on Huang Ruoran’s cheek. He even glanced provocatively at Xiao Luo from the corner of his eyes.

Huang Ruoran didn’t avoid his kiss but looked a little bashful as she got off the car.

…

…

They went to an elegant cafe and classical music was playing when they stepped in.

Xiao Luo and Huang Ruoran sat facing each other at a table by the window. Xiao Luo did not touch the glass of water in front of him, while Huang Ruoran was staring into her cup of coffee.

After a long silence, Huang Ruoran said, “Xiao Luo, I’m in love.”

“I can feel that,” Xiao Luo said.

“But why him?”

“Why can’t it be him?”

Huang Ruoran replied with a question, then added, “He might look like an unruly person, but he seems to care about me.” Then she glanced ruefully at Xiao Luo and whispered, “Unlike someone…”

Xiao Luo ignored her last sentence and calmly looked at what she was wearing. “Chanel’s sling bag, Chanel’s watch, Tiffany’s necklace, Ray’s perfume, and this cup of Fruit Leopard Coffee in front of you, whose selling price is per pound,” he remarked.

Huang Ruoran was stunned, as she did not expect that Xiao Luo could recognize all the branded items Ian had given her. And what he insinuated was clear enough, which made her feel like she was being mocked.

She immediately reacted and said, “I swear to God, I’m not after his money. I only like him because he’s really nice to me!”

“There’s no need for you to explain anything to me. We’re only friends, and I am truly happy that you found someone to love. But as a person with more experience than you, I have to give you some advice—don’t regard your youth for granted, or it’ll cause you a lifetime of regret. Also, Ian is a man with a hidden side, so I advise you to stay away from him,” Xiao Luo said.

“I won’t leave him.”

Huang Ruoran was adamant. “It wasn’t easy for me to meet a guy I like, and he likes me too. Xiao Luo, you are supposed to give me your blessings instead of persuading me to break up with him,” she said.

Xiao Luo frowned. “Why do I get the feeling that you chose him because of me?”

Huang Ruoran was taken aback and resented what Xiao Luo had said. “Yes, you’re right! The first time I agreed to go out with him was because of your rejection. I felt depressed, and it was Ian who lifted me from the doldrums. So, I want to thank you, Xiao Luo. If it weren’t for you, I would never have met Ian. He cares for me and dotes on me!”
