The cold voice shocked Anran and Lin Anjie.
In the dusky lighting, Anran saw a man who was standing a couple of meters away from them. The light was too dark and he had his back to the light. Therefore, Anran could not see what he looked like. However, these things were not important. Anran very quickly realized her current situation, and she pushed Lin Anjie away, retreating a couple of meters away from him.
โWho are you? Itโs none of your business that I am being intimate with my girlfriend.โ Lin Anjie turned around and walked toward that man, his tone vigorous. He was obviously unhappy that his happy occasion was interrupted.
โIโm not his girlfriend,โ Anran, who was on the side, quickly explained, clearly distinguishing the relationship between her and Lin Anjie. Originally, she had planned to go out with him and see where it went. However, now there was no need.
The man in the dark looked at Lin Anjie and said, โDid you hear?โ As he spoke, he took out his phone and made the motion of calling the police.
โWait.โ Lin Anjie thought that he was going to call the police and quickly opened his mouth to stop him. He was a civil worker and was going to be promoted to a secondary location in the second half of the year, and therefore, could not afford this type of lawsuit. Then, he turned around to look at Lin Anjie before leaving quickly, cursing under his breath.
When Lin Anjie left, the man slowly walked toward Anran.
When he walked closer, Anran saw that he had an extremely handsome face, with dark eyebrows, deep eyes, a high and straight nose, and thin lips. He was a rare, handsome man.
โAre you okay?โ The man asked her softly. His voice was not as cold as before. It was extremely pleasant to hear.
Anran was shocked and did not respond for a while. She quickly shook her head and said, โI-Iโm fine, j-just n-now, tha-thank you!โ
The man softly said and shook his head, turning around to leave. However, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He turned back around and asked, โDo you need me to send you home?โ
Anran was not in her right senses, and when he asked, she quickly shook her head and refused. โNo, thereโs no need. I can go home by myself.โ She was still scared from the big incident before, however, she was not so weak that she couldnโt return home by herself. Also, she did not know him and, therefore, did not want to inconvenience him.
......
The man took in her embarrassment and the corner of his mouth half twitched as he smiled and said, โThat man is not suitable for you.โ After he finished speaking, he turned around and exited the dim alley before Anran was able to react.
Anran stood at her original spot for a while, not understanding the manโs last sentence. In the end, she shook her head, walked out of the alley, and called a cab home.
Lin Anjie was someone who was the lowest of the low. He had used coffee vouchers for the blind date dinner, evaded paying the bill for dinner, and was even the first one to snitch on her despite being the bad person.
When Anran returned home, Lin Xiaofen and Gu Hengwen were both sitting in the living room with ugly complexions. Before Anran arrived home, Lin Anjie had snitched on her first despite, being the bad guy, to Lin Xiaofenโs colleague, Aunty Zhang. He had asked her how she could introduce him to a woman like that. On their date, she went to the most expensive restaurant and picked the most expensive dishes. After dinner, they did not even hold hands, and she had said that she was going to report him for harassment. He was so angry that he even yelled at Aunty Zhang.
Aunty Zhang had originally wanted to do something good and play matchmaker. Now, not only did she not do a good thing, but she had also given in her reputation for no reason and had been angrily yelled at. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, so she directly called the Gu family to ask Lin Xiaofen and Gu Hengwen. They had just ended the call right before Anran arrived home.
Anran saw that her parentโs complexions werenโt right. After asking, she found out just how shameless Lin Anjie was. Fancy that she had thought about seriously going out with him. It seemed like the earlier they cut their interaction, the better.
โRanran, what exactly happened? Your father and I wonโt believe that you are such an unreasonable person,โ Lin Xiaofen said. She knew her daughter the best, but Aunty Zhang was not the type of person who would talk nonsense to incite a quarrel. There must have been some sort of misunderstanding here.
โThat man wanted to force a kiss on me. Luckily someone walked passed by and prevented him from doing so. However, I didnโt say anything and even paid for dinner,โ Anran said. She lifted her head to look at her mother and continued to say, โMom, call Aunty Zhang. Iโll talk to her.โ
โThatโs preposterous.โ Lin Xiaofen was furious when she heard her daughter say that she was almost sexually harassed by that man. โRanran, I will call your Aunty Zhang right now. What kind of person is she introducing? Does she want to harm my daughter?โ As she spoke, she picked up the phone to call Aunty Zhang.
โAunty Zhang is not to one to blame for this. She simply did a bad thing with a good heart. Tell her about the incident clearly. Our Ranran is not the way he says. There is something wrong with that manโs moral character and way of thinking,โ Gu Hengwen, who was on the side, said.
Anran looked at her father. She did not say anything as she turned around and went into her room. Anran was a bit gloomy as she laid on her bed. Just thinking about the incident made her scared. If that man hadnโt suddenly appeared, she really didnโt know what would have happened next. She didnโt know if something like this would happen to her again in the future. In the past, she hadnโt been aware that eating dinner together on a blind date would be so dangerous. However, because of her age, she didnโt have any other option besides this. If there was anything to blame, then she needed to blame herself for being stupid. She had hurt for six years because of a scar.
As she thought about it, her heart felt stuffy and uncomfortable. Right now, she really wanted to find someone to talk to.
Anran picked up the phone and called Lin Li. The call connected very quickly, and Lin Li suddenly spoke some lousy Korean. โAnnyeong Haseyo!โ She dragged the final syllable for a while. The tone was sweet and not suitable for her age. She always seemed to be in a good mood. Anran was a bit jealous about it, but even more than that, she admired her for it.
โWhy are you speaking bird language?โ Anran angrily said.
โIโve recently been learning Korean. I told Chengxiang that we will go to Korea for our honeymoon. There are a lot of handsome men and beautiful women in Korea,โ Lin Li happily said.
โScrew you. Be careful that Chengxiang wonโt be seduced by beautiful women and then not want a faded old woman like you,โ Anran said, with a bad heart.
โScrew you. I am confident in my small Xiang. My small Xiang only has me in his heart.โ As she spoke, she seemed to have shouted to the person behind her. โRight, small Xiang?โ
Anran could vaguely hear Chengxiangโs response, and then she heard Lin Li ask, satisfied, โHow is it? Did you hear him?โ
โI heard him, I heard him. You are the grand empress, and your Chengxiang is the eunuch by your side.โ Anran laughed.
โScrew you. You donโt curse someone like this.โ Lin Li laughed and cursed, โSpeak. Why did you call me?โ
Anran sighed and roughly explained what had gone down with her blind date that night.
After she finished listening to her, Lin Li exploded and said, โShit! What a douchebag. How can there be such a shameless person? Do you have a picture? Let me worship him.โ
โJust look at yourself. Why are you always shooting your mouth off? Pay attention to prenatal education. Donโt lead my goddaughter astray.โ After Lin Liโs jokes, Anranโs heart was much more comfortable. At the very least, it didnโt feel as stuffy and bad.
โScrew you. How do you know that itโs a daughter? I will be giving birth to a son.โ Lin Li laughed and cursed.
The two joked around in amusement for a while. Suddenly, Lin Li said, seriously, โSeriously though, I have goods in my hand. Do you want them?โ
โWhat goods?โ Anran was mystified and did not understand.
โA man, Chengxiangโs colleague. Iโve met him before. Heโs two years older than usโtop-quality appearance, top-quality education, top-quality job. He is the top-notch of the top-notch. How is it? Donโt let oneโs fertile water flow into someone elseโs fields. Should I join your threads?โ Lin Li said.
โDonโt. Iโm scared of top-notch. You should go find someone normal for me.โ
โF*ck off. How can this top-notch compare to your โtop-notchโ? Seriously though, his qualifications are very good. Will you see him or not? If I didnโt already have my small Xiang, I would definitely chase after him,โ Lin Li said, fangirling.
Anran blushed with shame. โYou caught your small Xiang by shamelessly chasing after him!โ It was easier to change mountains and rivers than to alter her character!
โWhatโs important isnโt how you start, but how you end. Although it was a lot of work for me to chase after him in the past, after so many years, who would dare say that we are not happy?โ Lin Li proudly said.
When she heard this, Anran thought in her heart, โRight! Donโt care about what you had in the past. What is important is what you have now. Who would say that thatโs wrong?โ
When she didnโt hear a response, Lin Li?said, โAnran, if you donโt answer me, Iโll take it as you agree. I will tell my small Xiang to contact him tomorrow. I will give you a call if there is any news.โ
See, it was better to have someone good than someone bad. If she couldnโt marry the person she wanted to marry, what difference was there?
