C43 (1/2)

”Alright, Lin Xiaoxiao, you have to remember, you and I agreed on this beforehand, and you also saw it, right now your brother-in-law does not want to bother with you anymore, so just focus on your book and stop meddling in my relationship with your brother-in-law.” Did she bite so hard on these two brother-in-law to emphasize that I, Song Mo Ran, was hers?

Suddenly, for no reason, I felt uncomfortable. I walked past my sister to my room and slammed the door.

”Will Song Mo Ran see the gift I gave him when he returns tonight? ”Tomorrow morning, should I take the initiative to say hi to him? Girls are reserved, this kind of thing should be done by boys, but with Song Mo Ran's personality, he definitely wouldn't take the initiative to say hi to me.”

I lay down on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

Today's weather was very good. Uncharacteristically, I didn't stay in bed. As soon as the alarm clock sounded, I immediately got out of bed. I don't know why, but ever since I placed the gift in Song Mo Ran's bedroom yesterday, I've been feeling a little emotional. I don't even know what I was expecting.

Since I got up early today, I had plenty of time to dress up.

As long as it was a day of reading, the school uniform wouldn't budge, so I put on some makeup, put on some foundation, and even drew an inconspicuous inner eyeliner. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that it was almost too late, so I picked up my school bag and hurried downstairs for breakfast.

Song Mo Ran was wearing a dark blue suit as he sat at the dining table with his legs crossed elegantly. He was reading the newspaper in his hand while holding the coffee cup in his hand. He looked at the coffee cup from afar like a painting. His sister sat quietly beside him, eating her breakfast quietly. She didn't say anything as she accompanied Song Mo Ran quietly.

Afraid of disturbing the two of them, I quietly walked to the dining table and sat down. Song Mo Ran only raised his eyes to glance at me before lowering his eyes to continue reading the newspaper.

Every day, my breakfast was very sumptuous, but I ate it without any food. I kept wondering if Song Mo Ran had seen the gift I gave him. If he had, why is he still treating me like this? Is it because I don't like my present, or is it because my sister is here?

While I was at a loss, my sister put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and whispered to Song Mo Ran, ”I'll be leaving first.”

Song Mo Ran did not raise his head but simply nodded.

My sister got up and left, and I finally had a chance to ask Song Mo Ran face to face. However, the first time I gave a man a gift, I was too shy to open my mouth. Just as I was hesitating, Song Mo Ran spoke first.

”What are you thinking? Why are you so nervous?”

I couldn't help but shiver and my first reaction was to deny it, ”No, nothing …” ”No, there's something …”

Song Mo Ran's curiosity was aroused by my incoherent speech. He finally put down the newspaper in his hand and raised his head. He glared at me, signalling me to continue.

”Song Mo Ran, thank you for letting Li Rong go and providing him with such a good job.”

When the man heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to pick up the newspaper on the table. He said emotionlessly, ”What, your relationship is just that good? I just let him go and you guys can't wait to meet each other?”

”That's not it …” I was about to retort, but Song Mo Ran stretched out his hand and signaled me to stop, indicating that he didn't want to continue listening.

That's right, he doesn't even care about me, how can he be jealous of Li Rong? In this way, even listening to my explanation seemed unnecessary. I lowered my head, feeling extremely dejected.

After a while, I whispered, ”Then … Did you get the gift I gave you? ”
