His words caused Chen Gongrang to widen his eyes while Chen Rong turned sideways to glare at him with a complicated look

While Chen Wei and Chen Rong hadn’t been acquainted for long, she felt that she knew this cousin of hers well enough She had always felt that though Chen Rong appeared straightforward at first sight, she was rather taciturn in her conducts After discovering that Ran Min was interested in Chen Rong, Chen Wei had constantly feared that one day, while she had her back turned, her humble yet beautiful cousin would quietly cli her

But Ran Min apparently didn’t care He s, waved and called, “Chen Rong, come out”
Intimacy was heard in his voice
Instantaneously, Chen Gongrang’s face soured while Chen Wei’s blanched to another shade of white

Gasps were let out at his words
Chen Wei and the servants all rounded their eyes, staring disbelievingly at Chen Rong
