C285 (1/2)

Gu Ruoyun walked out of the airport and saw Mu Ran waving at her from afar. She was stunned for a moment. She didn't think that the person who would come pick up the plane would be Mu Ran. She thought it would be Chu Haolong.

In the depths of his heart, he was at a loss for a moment, but his eyes also dimmed down.

”Snowy, I'm leaving first. There's something I need to talk to you about.” It was obvious that Chen Zhenxuan had also seen Mu Ran. He made a call to Gu Ruoyun before leaving.

Gu Manxue let out a sigh. The corners of her mouth hooked up into a faint smile as she walked towards Mu Rong Ran.

”Mu Ran, you came to pick me up?”

Mu Ran smiled as he took the luggage from her hands and walked beside her. He jokingly asked, ”What? Was disappointed to see that I came to pick you up? ”

”How could that be?” Although Gu Manxue was smiling, the disappointment in her eyes was so deep.

”Let's go, I'll give you a welcome call.” He then grabbed her hand and walked in the direction of the car.

For a moment, Gu Manxue felt unnatural. She wanted to shake off his hand, but in the end, she still compromised and let him hold on to her.

However, she didn't notice that behind her, there was a man wearing sunglasses. He stood there and silently watched her back and didn't leave for a long time.

Inside the hotel room, Gu Manxue seemed to be in a somewhat carefree mood. She was usually the only one who spoke, and she simply agreed with him.

”Xiao Xue, I heard from my father that he saved Chen Zhenxuan, then you plan to …”

Mu Ran saw the change in her expression and didn't continue asking. However, his eyes revealed a deep sense of hope. If she broke up with Chen Zhenxuan, then wouldn't that mean he had a chance?

”We are friends now.” Gu Manxue took a sip of the juice and looked at the time.

”Xiao Xue, are you in a hurry? I'll take you home? ” Mu Ran saw her expression and hastily said.

Gu Ruoyun nodded, but her eyes became even darker. Should she tell Mu Ran more clearly? She didn't want Mu Ran to misunderstand her.

Furthermore, she didn't want Mu Ran to be harmed again. She had better explain herself before it happened so that the damage to Mu Ran would be reduced.

”Mu Ran, wait a moment.”

”Hmm? ”What's wrong?” Mu Ran held her bag in one hand as he turned around to look at her with a puzzled expression.

”I have something to say to you.”

Perhaps it was because the current Gu Manxue was too serious and had already realized that she could speak, but he didn't want to hear it. He had never been so defeated while chasing a woman before, but the more it was like this, the more valiant he became.

Thus, other than the initial hint of admiration, he also felt a sense of conquest towards Gu Manxue.

”Xiao Xue, did you suddenly realize that I'm also very handsome?”

”Stop messing around, I have something serious to tell you.” Gu Ruoyun's face was still solemn. She looked at the surroundings, but luckily there weren't many people around her, so there was nothing bad to say.

”Then can I choose not to listen?” Mu Ran chuckled as a look of rejection appeared in his eyes. It was obvious that he had already guessed what she was going to say next.

”Mu Ran, don't do that!” Gu Manxue was a little angry, and her voice turned heavy, ”Don't you think we should make things clear?”

”Explain what?” Mu Ran used his free hand to rub his head before silently sighing, ”Xiao Xue, you are really too heartless towards me.”

”Mu Ran!” If you continue to be so dishonest, I will be even more heartless! ”

”All right, all right, let's get in the car and talk.” Mu Ran didn't say anything further and pulled her hand, stuffing everything inside before getting into the car to sit by her side.

”Snowy, you still say you're not heartless. You don't even give me the last sliver of hope.” Mu Ran seemed to be injured as he looked pitifully at her before continuing.

”Can't you try accepting me?”

”Emotions aren't something that can be accepted just because it's acceptable. I don't like you.” Gu Manxue sighed. She seemed a little disappointed, ”Sorry, I have to explain it to you clearly.”

”Alright, I understand. You don't have anything to do that will let me down. Don't say anymore, I'll send you back.” It was as if Mu Ran didn't care and gave Chu Haolong the home address.

The gloom in Gu Qingxue's eyes deepened. The more he acted this way, the more embarrassed he felt. After all, dragging him out wasn't the same thing.

”Little Snow, I know what you're thinking, but I hope you can give me a chance.”

”Mu Ran, I …”

”Don't say anymore. I like you. It's my problem. You cannot stop me from liking you.” Mu Ran's tone suddenly turned serious as he looked deeply at Gu Qingxue with an extremely serious expression.

Gu Manxue suddenly felt powerless. Even her words of persuasion had disappeared.

When they returned to the Chu Clan, Wang Ma opened the door. Wang Ma's face was filled with happiness, ”Xiao Xue, you're back. You're worried to death about me.”

”Wang Ma, I'm fine.”

”Child, why are you so daring? You're really scaring my old bones to death. I made some soup and drank a bit.” As Wang Ma said that, she walked happily into the kitchen.

”Aunt Huan.” Gu Manxue looked at Yu Huan, who was walking down the stairs, and quickly called out.
