22: Chapter 22 I Will Never Let Him Go

Sister Su Lan, with her fair, jade-like feet bare, sat down at her office desk and began flipping through documents.

Her sudden seriousness made Xiao Ran feel unaccustomed.

A few minutes later, Sister Su Lan stood up, her face filled with shock, and said excitedly:

"Xiao Ran, this is a product that could be epoch-making. It's too valuable. Are you really just giving it to me like this?"

"You're my girlfriend, and I don't have a cosmetics company myself, so who else would I give it to?" Xiao Ran grinned.

"Xiao Ran~~~"

"Don't pretend to be moved! Just laugh if you want to!"

"I really am moved! Xiao Ran, little brother, I love you to death, come to my place tonight, I'll cook something delicious for you."

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes.

The fox is showing his tail again, isn't it?

That abacus is really loud.

Trying to trick me into going to your house again.

I'm not falling for your tricks!

Xiao Ran hadn't forgotten that the last time he went to her house... born into a prominent family and having been a CEO for several years, her cooking was truly terrible.

"Sister Su Lan, I'm busy these days, I'm sorry, I can't come for now." He refused without hesitation.

"Ah, why are you busy again! Always busy, always busy, you haven't come to see me in so many days, and you won't even spend some proper time with me!" Sister Su Lan kept hitting his chest with her small fists.

Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed.

Excited fists from a criminal, is that it!

Besides,

she was busy with her career every day and never thought of taking the initiative to find him.

He himself was indeed busy, with a very tight schedule.

He needed to arrange a breakup with Xu Qianqian and also with Gu Yurou.

He even had to find time to scout for new prospects!

..."Sister Su Lan, let's go eat something, it's already half past eleven."

Xiao Ran really didn't like being alone with women.

It wasn't that he was afraid he couldn't control himself, it was that he was afraid they couldn't control themselves!

He had this confidence; although it was narcissistic, he was like an addictive poison to girls!

"Do you want to just eat here? I can just order takeout, we haven't spent time together in days." Sister Su Lan whined.

See!

Could he not guess what was on her mind?

Didn't she just want to do something exciting?

And now she wants to do it in the office?

"Let's go out to eat together, consider it a date, I'll be busy this afternoon, you know." Xiao Ran came up to her.

"Alright! My husband has helped your humble servant so much, your humble servant will listen to her husband."

After resolving her worries, she was in a good mood and obediently didn't refuse.

"Let's go, a restaurant in the building will do."

"Mhm."

Sister Su Lan changed into a formal dating outfit, a simple white ensemble that toned down her inherent bossy aura, making her appear more youthful.

The two didn't go far, heading to a steak restaurant within the building.

Xiao Ran ordered two medium-well steaks, and Sister Su Lan ordered a small one.

"Xiao Ran, this is only our fourth date, and it's almost been a month, but you've only dated me three times! You're such an irresponsible boyfriend!" Sister Su Lan looked at the boy in front of her, her face full of resentment as she spoke.

"Sister Su Lan, you know me, I still have to go to school, where would I have the time?"

She was the one who was busy... but she didn't seem to realize it.

"Excuses, all excuses. Don't you have time on Saturdays and Sundays?"

"Didn't we have a date?"

"You only dated one day out of the two weekend days!"

"I can't help it, there are so many club activities to do."

Sister Su Lan pouted a little, like a young girl, and complained:

"You always brush me off, and you don't even reply to my messages. If you can't come out, you could at least reply to my messages."

"Alright, alright, I'll definitely reply to you more often from now on!" Xiao Ran patted her hand.

Sister Su Lan's invitations were always on weekends.

He decided to reply to her three sentences every day from now on; with 7 days left, that would be a total of 21 sentences!

Three sentences to warm her heart all day!

"That's more like it."

"Eat quickly, I have to go back after we finish."

"Mhm~"

Although both were mature women, Sister Su Lan was much better than Bai Lu.

Bai Lu was the type of girl with strong controlling tendencies, whereas Sister Su Lan was relatively gentle and obedient.

It's just that her focus, in terms of relationships, might not be as delicate; she was more inclined towards her career and dreams... Xiao Ran, I don't want to stay here long.

It was clear that she was eager to deal with that formula, but because he was still there, she patiently endured.

After eating and drinking to their fill,

Xiao Ran decisively suggested leaving:

"Sister Su Lan, I'm going back first, I still have things to do."

"A kiss!"

Sister Su Lan stood up, lightly pointed at her own rosy, glossy lips, and then pointed at Xiao Ran's greasy mouth.

"Bye bye~"

Xiao Ran didn't look back, leaving with a quick goodbye and running straight out of the restaurant, giving her no chance whatsoever.

"Darn it! He got away again!"

Sister Su Lan's face fell.

She clenched her fists and vigorously swung them a few times in front of her chest.

However, the next second, the corners of her mouth curved slightly upwards, revealing a sweet smile... "Having him is truly wonderful!"

"Once the company is back on track this time, I'll become a hands-off boss. I'll stay by his side always, wherever he goes, I'll go, and I'll never let him leave again~~"

"You have to wait for me, okay~~"

Slurp~!

"Hehehe..."
