139: Chapter 139 Is there such a good thing?

Xiao Ran's eyes flickered, and he tentatively asked, "So, you mean you mistook A Qing for Murong Lan?"

"Uh... yes..." Bai Lu was uncharacteristically flustered, her right hand continuously rubbing her left arm, seemingly to ease the awkwardness.

"Then what did you mean by attacking her?" Xiao Ran continued to ask.

He probably understood Bai Lu's thoughts at the time, but he was in a different role now, so the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

Just as Bai Lu was struggling to find the right words, Murong Lan stepped out from behind: "Li Feiyu, I know her. You and A Qing go sit in the back, let me talk to her."

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, seeing a hint of sharpness in her expression.

He wasn't sure what she meant, but he still agreed: "Alright!"

As long as the two of them didn't start fighting, he would let her do as she pleased.

After all, he was sitting pretty, watching his ex-girlfriends duke it out.

Xiao Ran held Murong Qing in his arms, then sat in seat number 5, leaving the space for his two ex-girlfriends.

Murong Lan, carrying her bag, sat down in seat number 7, then looked up at Bai Lu: "Shall we chat while sitting?"

The place was a bit noisy, but her voice was remarkably clear.

"Fine, let's chat!" Bai Lu naturally had nothing to be afraid of; if Xiao Ran hadn't stopped her from causing trouble, she wouldn't have been afraid of a direct confrontation.

"Tell me, why did you hit my sister!" Murong Lan's voice was cold and piercing.

"Murong Lan's sister, please apologize to your sister for me, I'm sorry!" Bai Lu admitted her mistake; there was nothing to hide, just an apology.

"To be honest, I mistook your sister for you, which is why I acted so aggressively." She was an honest person and didn't hide anything, directly stating her thoughts.

"So, your original intention was to hit me? But you hit my sister by mistake?" Murong Lan asked coldly.

Speaking of this, Bai Lu felt embarrassed.

Mistaking someone when catching them in the act—anyone would want to dig a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with their feet.

"Ahem, well, I thought you were hugging and cuddling with another man and cheating on Xiao Ran. I did that because I wanted to stand up for him."

Bai Lu explained awkwardly.

"You know, I still love Xiao Ran, so naturally, I wouldn't stand by and watch him get hurt."

It would have been better if Bai Lu hadn't said anything, but her words immediately made Murong Lan feel it deeply.

She was the one who had been hurt by Xiao Ran!

The suppressed bitterness and heartache erupted once again.

"Haha! Is that so? You say you still love him, does that mean you've been entangled with him all this time?"

Murong Lan's tone was cold and sharp, momentarily disorienting Bai Lu, leaving her a bit confused.

'What does she mean? I haven't even seen Xiao Ran this whole time, how could I be entangled with him?'

"Murong Lan, are you mistaken about something?" Bai Lu asked, puzzled.

She had always been open and aboveboard; she would own up to what she had done, but she didn't want to be wrongly accused of what she hadn't.

Especially her feelings for Xiao Ran, which were not to be defiled!

Either it was there, or it wasn't!

Murong Lan looked at Bai Lu's reaction with a sneer:

"I don't care if you're pretending or not, but I can tell you clearly! Xiao Ran and I have no relationship anymore!"

"I can let bygones be bygones about you mistaking my sister for me today, but please don't bring up Xiao Ran and me again in the future. He's not worthy!"

Murong Lan's eyes were as cold as ice and snow in winter, as if they could freeze a person's heart solid.

Such a cold voice, falling on Bai Lu's heart, was like a scoop of ice cream on a summer day!

Chilling to the core!

Refreshing and sweet!

"What? Such good news?" She stood up at the sound, her eyes full of excitement!

"What do you mean?" Murong Lan narrowed her eyes, her tone sharp.

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy!"

Bai Lu quickly put away her joyful expression, replacing it with sympathy: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your painful memories."

Murong Lan saw through her thoughts immediately: "Haha! Are you very happy? Do you think you can go back to Xiao Ran's side again?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's eyebrows immediately shot up, and she seriously scrutinized Murong Lan's frosty face.

She always felt that this originally incredibly naive little sister seemed to have become a different person!

The youthful innocence in her brows had almost completely receded, replaced by a subtle maturity and sharpness.

Could it be that she had grown a lot after breaking up with Xiao Ran?

"Murong Lan's sister, did you really break up with Xiao Ran?" Bai Lu asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes! And I dumped him!" Murong Lan nodded slightly, her tone flat.

"Why?" Bai Lu was a little curious, wondering what reason could have caused such a doting couple to go their separate ways.

"He cheated!" Murong Lan's words were startling and devoid of emotion.

"Huh? You knew already?" Bai Lu was surprised.

Could it be that she knew about Xiao Ran's two-timing?

Bai Lu's reaction made Murong Lan somewhat confused: "What do you mean? You already knew he cheated?"

"I knew a little, but not much." Bai Lu nodded; since Murong Lan already knew, there was no harm in saying it.

"Haha! So, in the end, I was the only one kept in the dark?!" Murong Lan scoffed, her expression full of disappointment.

Even his ex-girlfriend knew about his exploits, while she, his current girlfriend, was like an idiot.

"Murong Lan's sister, don't be too sad." Bai Lu suppressed the glee in her heart and comforted her: "At least Xiao Ran didn't take advantage of you, right?"

Murong Lan shook her head, not answering her question, but instead advised her:

"Bai Lu, as someone who's been there, I advise you not to keep thinking about Xiao Ran. He's not a good person, so you don't end up being used and discarded by him."

'I wish he would use and discard me, but he's unwilling!'

Bai Lu felt a bitdepressed in her heart, then stated her position:

"Murong Lan, thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to worry about my affairs. I will not give up on Ranran."

"Are you crazy! Xiao Ran is probably hiding in some woman's arms right now!" Murong Lan was stunned by Bai Lu's words, her tone full of disbelief.

This wasn't a novel; what girl would offer herself up for free?

Especially since Xiao Ran was a scumbag!

Meanwhile, to the side.

Murong Qing leaned comfortably in Xiao Ran's arms and asked curiously, "Fei Yu, what are they talking about? Why does my sister seem so agitated?"

"They're probably discussing Xiao Ran's matters." Xiao Ran's expression shifted slightly, but he spoke casually...
