175: Chapter 175 Gathering Together

“Hmph! When Xiao Ran Gege broke up with me, he said that as long as I could provide a dowry of 10 billion, he would be willing to marry me!” Gu Yurou said proudly, chin raised.

“What?! Is that true?” Everyone looked at Xiao Ran, who was pretending to have amnesia.

“Xiao Ran! Aren’t you going to explain yourself?!”

Why hadn't Xiao Ran given them a promise or a goal, a way to be by his side if they achieved it?

He only gave one to Gu Yurou!

Xiao Ran rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

If he hadn’t pretended to have amnesia, and if they hadn’t believed him, he would probably be drowned by their spit right now.

“Cough, cough, I say, beautiful young ladies, I don’t remember anything right now. No matter how much I say, isn’t it still just your side of the story?” Xiao Ran said, mustering his courage.

Lin Yaner, wearing an apron, had appeared behind him at some point, like a ghost:

“Xiao Ran! We even suspect whether you’re really faking amnesia! This way, you have a perfect excuse to get rid of us and live happily ever after with your little Shiqing!”

Xiao Ran’s heart trembled.

Was this Lin Yaner a dog?

The current situation, with all the girls gathered, was almost entirely her doing!

From finding his disguise video, then ‘catching him cheating,’ drugging him, Qianqian being in the know, alienating Murong Lan, the ‘ex-girlfriend alliance’… everything was connected, everything was orchestrated by her!

If it weren’t for her, he would probably still be freely wandering among the girls in various cities!

Was this Lin Yaner his bane?

“Uh, Lin Yaner, and all you young ladies, you are all top-tier goddesses. If I really was your boyfriend before, how could I possibly have dumped you?” Xiao Ran said, starting with a negative then turning positive.

“Heh heh! So you do know we’re top-tier goddesses! But didn’t a certain heartless man dump us anyway?!” Lin Yaner said, annoyed.

“Exactly, exactly!” Lu Yiyi nodded repeatedly.

“Ladies, whether what you’re saying is true or false, it’s all in the past.” Xiao Ran shook his head and continued, “Life is all about the future; we should all look forward.”

“Xiao Ran Gege! I am looking forward to money right now!” Gu Yurou blinked her big eyes, looking innocent.

With her efforts, she could now independently produce 100 million!

She was only… 99% away from successfully marrying Xiao Ran Gege!

‘Wuwu~~ So far away!’

Just as Xiao Ran was at a loss, not knowing how to respond,

Xu Qianqian, dressed in a maid outfit, ran out, her thick pigtails swaying.

She called out with a charming lilt, “Chicken soup’s here!”

Qianqian!

Little lolis are the best!

Xiao Ran immediately felt relieved, like an unbridled horse, and rushed to the dining table.

He leaned his nose closer, and the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted over: “Wow! So fragrant!”

Chicken soup, he loved to drink it the most!

He instinctively reached to lift the lid.

“Slap!”

A slender hand stopped him!

Xiao Ran looked up.

He saw Xu Qianqian wearing a white apron, her cheeks as rosy as peach blossoms, her bright eyes like a dream.

With her hands on her hips, she stared at him intently: “What’s the rush! Wait until their dishes are also served before eating! I want to see whose cooking is better than mine!”

Xu Qianqian’s family owned a chain of high-end hotels, and she often learned cooking from star chefs.

Her culinary skills were naturally excellent!

“Hmph hmph! Move aside, everyone! Look at the sweet and sour pork ribs Ranran loves the most!” Bai Lu walked out triumphantly, carrying the steaming ribs.

Bai Lu’s family specialized in chain restaurants, so her cooking skills were naturally also excellent!

And she vaguely remembered that this dish was the only one she could recall him liking when she and Ranran broke up!

It held extraordinary significance!

The sweet, sour, crispy, and slightly numbing taste also made Xiao Ran’s mouth water!

“Heh heh! Get out of the way! Look at my boiled beef!” The last dish to appear was Lin Yaner’s.

Beef was also something Xiao Ran liked to eat!

These girls really had a hold on his stomach!

If he married any one of them, he probably wouldn't have to worry about bland food for the rest of his life!

Immediately after,

Six more dishes were brought out in succession.

Three dishes per person, totaling nine dishes.

To make it a perfect ten, the three of them worked together to make a pot of three-delicacy soup.

“Xiao Ran Gege… Shiqing is also very good at cooking…” Suddenly, Liang Shiqing tugged at his sleeve, her expression a little downcast.

Xiao Ran turned his head and immediately met her dim, lifeless eyes.

Her forlorn appearance made Xiao Ran’s heart clench.

Her meaning was very clear.

She was very good at cooking, but because of her blindness, she had lost this skill… Xiao Ran lowered his head and whispered in her ear: “Shiqing! You’ll have a chance to cook for Xiao Ran Gege in the future too!”

Liang Shiqing naturally thought Xiao Ran was comforting her, but she still smiled and said, “En, Shiqing will also make delicious food for Xiao Ran Gege in the future!”

“Then Xiao Ran Gege will be waiting!” Xiao Ran smiled slightly and pinched her chubby cheek.

She clutched her clothes, not daring to look up.

“Hahaha! Quick, quick, quick! Let’s eat!”

Xiao Ran was the first to pick up Liang Shiqing and place her in her seat, then quickly called out to everyone!

Everything on the table was what he loved to eat!

“Xiao Ran Gege! I want you to carry me to my seat too!” Someone, he didn’t know who, spoke up.

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“Go, go, go, men and women should not touch! Besides, are you missing hands and feet? You need someone to carry you to a seat!” Xiao Ran retorted directly.

“Wow! Heartless!”

“He’s forgotten his old love for a new one!”

“Exactly, exactly!”

Xiao Ran completely ignored them. After taking his seat,

He first served Liang Shiqing a huge bowl full of various dishes, which made the other girls envious.

Xiao Ran also completely ignored their reactions and began to eat and drink heartily, without any regard for his image.

Bai Lu pulled out a case of Snow beer from somewhere, placing one bottle per person on the table.

“Today is Xiao Ran’s discharge day. We’re holding a welcoming feast for him, to wash away bad luck! No one is allowed not to drink! Otherwise, we’ll all look down on her!”

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she suddenly asked, “Can anyone not drink cold drinks?”

Everyone paused, and two people even blushed.

“No one can’t drink, right? Then let’s go!”

Bai Lu said boldly, then proceeded to open her own beer.

“Bring it on, who’s afraid of who!” Lin Yaner rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was ready for anything.

“Come, come, come! Whoever chickens out is a dog!”

Xiao Ran smiled, watching the scene before him.

It was beautiful, very heartwarming!

“Shiqing, can you drink alcohol?” Xiao Ran leaned over and asked.

“Hmph! Xiao Ran Gege, you underestimate me! I used to be a little wine fairy!” Liang Shiqing pouted, looking playful and cute.

“Haha! Then let’s drink together!” Xiao Ran laughed loudly and helped her open a bottle of wine.

“Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

“May Xiao Ran Gege recover soon!”

“May Xiao Ran Gege regain his memory soon!”

“May Xiao Ran Gege marry me soon!”

“Me soon!”

“Have children with me soon!”

“…”

Xiao Ran: “???”

Why was the atmosphere getting stranger and stranger?
