129: Chapter 129 Let’s break up!

Murong Lan took a deep breath, as if those two slaps had exhausted all her strength!

After delivering two slaps, the pent-up frustration in her heart did indeed dissipate quite a bit.

But that didn't mean she had forgiven Xiao Ran!

Undeniably, she still loved him.

Two powerful slaps landed on him, and not only did he hurt, she hurt just as much.

Her hands hurt, and her heart hurt too!

Murong Lan's eyes reddened slightly, gradually filling with a misty haze.

She suppressed the urge to touch him, to comfort him, and gathered her courage to say once more:

"Xiao Ran, let's break up!"

Her tone was cold and resolute, whether feigned or genuine, it was hard to tell.

Xiao Ran: "..."

A Lan, if you keep doing this, I really won't be polite!

"A Lan, what exactly happened?" Xiao Ran asked with a serious expression.

Breaking up is a profound art.

The posture must be cool, and the foreplay must be sufficient!

No matter how absurd the breakup, there must at least be a reason, right?

Or rather, Murong Lan should find a reason for him!

Some passersby exchanged glances, and an air of gossip permeated the atmosphere.

This led to more and more people stopping to watch.

A breakup drama?

They loved it!

"Xiao Ran, aren't you going to explain to me, who is Xiao Yan? And who is Xiao Qing?"

Murong Lan stared directly at Xiao Ran, her eyes cold and emotionless, without a hint of fluctuation.

"Uh... A Lan, these were just names I made up as a joke!" Xiao Ran said, sweating.

He had indeed been careless; even when joking, he had almost subconsciously blurted out these deeply imprinted names.

But Murong Lan wouldn't throw a tantrum just because of this, would she?

Didn't she usually love playing these childish games?

"Heh heh!" A hint of disappointment flashed in Murong Lan's eyes, and she couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

She hadn't expected that even at this point!

Xiao Ran still hadn't realized his mistake!

Or rather, he didn't think he had done anything wrong at all!

He still intended to continue deceiving her!

Murong Lan slowly closed her eyes, her delicate fists clenched tightly, her chest rising and falling rhythmically.

Xiao Ran felt an invisible chill emanating from her, as if the entire air had been tinged with cold.

He couldn't help but shiver.

He felt like he was floating in a frozen world, unable to find a shred of warmth or comfort.

"Xiao Ran, I really am a clown!" Murong Lan opened her eyes, her moist pupils appearing dim and lifeless.

"A Lan... you..."

Xiao Ran opened his mouth, about to continue asking.

Murong Lan, however, interrupted his next words: "Xiao Ran, let me ask you another question."

"Mm, ask away, I'm listening."

Xiao Ran looked at her gently, not showing any anger despite her two slaps.

"May I ask, is the Xiao Yan you mentioned, Lin Yaner?"

"And may I ask, is the so-called Xiao Qing, Liang Shiqing?"

Murong Lan spoke almost word for word.

Every word struck Xiao Ran's heart.

"..."

Oh~ ho~!

Exposed!

No wonder Murong Lan slapped him and told him to break up!

It turned out she already knew some things!

Murong Lan looked at the silent Xiao Ran and asked coldly, "Xiao Ran, aren't you going to explain?"

Faced with her questioning, Xiao Ran showed a bitter smile.

In this situation, Murong Lan had already resorted to direct physical attack!

She probably understood most of it by now!

No matter how he explained now, it would only seem pale and powerless.

So, he might as well be straightforward and just lay all his cards on the table.

Looking at the scene, more and more onlookers were gathering.

If he dragged this out, he would only be at a disadvantage.

If all his ex-girlfriends showed up, things would get out of hand!

"A Lan..." Xiao Ran spoke softly.

"Don't call me A Lan! Please call me Murong Lan, thank you!" The girl corrected him coldly.

"Uh... Murong Lan, I admit, I know both of those names you mentioned." Xiao Ran scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of displeasure in her brows:

"Heh heh, are you sure you 'just know' them? Brother Xiao Ran is really forgetful! Would A Lan like to help you recall?"

"Cough cough, A Lan, you already know?" Xiao Ran looked troubled, asking with some trepidation.

"Heh heh!"

Murong Lan let out a cold laugh.

"Xiao Ran, you're truly impressive! You actually had romantic relationships with five girls in a short period of time!"

"Hiss~"

As Murong Lan's words fell, the surrounding onlookers gasped, making a small contribution to global warming!

"Holy crap! A role model for our generation!"

"Damn it! Can you do whatever you want just because you're handsome?!"

"Heh heh! Another scumbag! This immortal fairy hates scumbags the most! Scumbags deserve a terrible death!"

"Disgusting man, truly repulsive! Why does such a creature as 'male' exist in the world!"

"To be fair... I'd like that too..."

"I advise you to look in a mirror! With that shoehorn face of yours, it's good enough if you can be a rebound guy!"

"Holy crap, let's talk nicely, why resort to personal attacks?!"

Xiao Ran ignored the pointing and whispering around him.

He wanted to correct Murong Lan; he had actually... seemed to have more than five during this period... But for his own safety, he decided against it. There was no need to show off.

There were so many young people watching, it was easy to provoke public anger!

Although he wasn't afraid of online bullying, he still wanted to save some face.

"Murong Lan, can we talk about this in private? There are too many people here!" Xiao Ran said somewhat helplessly.

Since they had already laid their cards on the table, some things should just be resolved directly.

"Heh! What, is the great scumbag afraid of being watched?" Murong Lan sneered.

Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow, glancing around.

Would someone with cancer like me be afraid of these punks?

What I'm afraid of are my other ex-girlfriends!

Since Murong Lan was being so uncooperative, he decided to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

You want to break up, don't you?

Then I'll grant your wish!

Xiao Ran made up his mind, his expression becoming firm.

He ran a hand through his hair and asked softly, "Murong Lan, do you really want to break up with me?"

"What? Is Brother Xiao Ran reluctant to part with A Lan?"

Murong Lan suddenly smiled sweetly, a smile that seemed somewhat unreal.

Sure enough, the next second, Murong Lan's face contorted, and she almost shrieked:

"Yes! You're right! I want to break up with you! We're completely cutting ties!"

As she uttered these words, her heart was filled with three parts pain, two parts regret, and four parts relief!

She even harbored a sliver of hope in her heart.

She hoped that Xiao Ran would try to win her back, to let her continue to be his beloved girlfriend!

If he was truly willing to mend his ways, perhaps she would be willing to give him a chance!

A chance to rekindle their relationship!

Xiao Ran had originally intended to advance the plot slowly, but he hadn't expected Murong Lan to push the story directly to its climax.

Since she was so proactive, he wouldn't be polite either.

"Alright then! I agree to break up!"

A short sentence.

It extinguished the blazing flame of hope in the girl's eyes, as if doused by cold water!

The light in her eyes disappeared... ----

Also, I have to wait.
