Chapter 35: The Birthday Dinner
Yuran was taken to an extremely luxurious mansion, she had never seen such a rich scene since she was a child, she nervously grabbed Fang Ziye's arm and whispered: "I'm so nervous, can I wait for you outside, I'm afraid of embarrassing you on this occasion."
"Don't be nervous, you are my midnight woman tonight, and no one dares to underestimate you." Fang Ziye comforted softly.
"Is there media here?" Yu Ran asked worriedly, if she was photographed as a woman who had been Fang Ziye, she would really not be able to be a person in the future.
"No, even if there were, they wouldn't scribble, because they knew the consequences." Fang Ziye said domineeringly.
Their appearance caused a commotion in the room, and everyone's eyes were focused on this pair of golden boys and girls.
"It's a perfect pair." Everyone unconsciously admired.
Yu Ran was still in a state of nervousness, and his hand unconsciously grabbed the man's clothes.
Fang Ziye just wanted to whisper a few words of comfort, when a fiery figure rushed in front of him and gave him a big hug, which also cleverly separated Yu Ran and Fang Ziye's clasped hands.
"Ah Ye, why did you arrive, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you have already promised to help me cut the cake on my birthday, go quickly, otherwise the auspicious time will pass." Xu Menglu successfully separated the women around Fang Ziye, Fang Ziye could only be her Xu Menglu alone, and other women didn't even think about it.
Before Fang Ziye could tell Yuran a few words, he was pulled away by Xu Menglu and squeezed into the crowd.
Yu Ran held the hand with red marks and looked at the fiery figure, she definitely did it on purpose, and Yu Ran felt that it was with hatred.
She must have misunderstood her position in Fang Ziye's heart to be so hostile, Yu Ran smiled helplessly, and found a hidden corner to look at this palace-like house, a random ornament is that she may not be able to afford her salary for decades.
In the center of the hall there is a birthday cake with more than a dozen floors, many people are clustered around Fang Ziye and the fiery girl is cutting the birthday cake, the lively scene renders the whole hall, Yuran standing there can't blend into that atmosphere, she turned around and walked out of the hall, there is a corridor outside, compared with the hustle and bustle inside, it seems surprisingly quiet here, and the outside of the corridor is a big garden, Yuran found that this family is really rich, and even the flowers and trees in the garden are some imported or rare varieties, Each plant costs hundreds of thousands or even millions, and she only knows these seedlings from books, she likes flowers and plants, so she has read a lot of books on this subject, and now she is really excited to see it in reality.
She walked through the garden, and finally she couldn't walk anymore so she found a bench and sat down, and when she saw that there was no one around, she simply took off her high heels and let her long-bound feet stretch.
The wind blew gently, bringing the fragrance of flowers, and Yuran closed her eyes intoxicated, enjoying the peace of this moment.
"You like it here?" An abrupt male voice bursts into the eardrums.
Yu Ran hurriedly opened his eyes, and a middle-aged man in his forties was standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Am I that ridiculous?" Yuran frowned and asked, but secretly looking for shoes on her feet.
"I didn't laugh at you for not wearing shoes, you don't have to be restrained, I watched you for a while and found that you are a very special girl."
"You're stalking me."
"No, no, no, I just thought you were a friend of mine so I paid attention to you."
"This kind of rhetoric is too old-fashioned, and I'm not interested in uncle." Yuran said bluntly.
"Haha, I don't mean anything else, you really look like a friend of mine, when you were younger, of course."
The man smiled and said that it was the first time he had seen such a cute girl.
"You're not trying to soak me?" Yuran tilted her head and asked.
"No, no, I'm past the age of pickling girls, and you're almost like my daughter." The man said with a smile.
"The friend you're talking about is your first love?"
"How do you know?"
"The people who keep men in their hearts for so long are generally first lovers, why aren't you together? You must have failed her. Yuran guessed.
"I failed her. The man said with a slightly heavy heart.
"Why? Because you don't love enough? ”
"Love, but at that time, when you were young, there were always crazy thoughts that forced you to let go of many things."
"Why didn't you chase her back?"
"I can't chase it back, I got married as soon as I left her, and then I tried to find her but couldn't find her." The man sighed and said.
"I really look like her?"
"Like, very similar, even the demeanor is very similar." The man's eyes were full of pampering when he looked at her.
"You want to hear from me? However, I disappointed you, I was an orphan since I was a child. ”
"You're an orphan?" The man didn't believe looking at her, such an elf-like girl didn't look like an orphan no matter how she looked.
"Isn't it like? My adoptive parents loved me very much, and raised me with love when they picked me up from the orphanage. ”
"Have you ever thought about looking for them?"
"No, they threw me away, why did I go to them."
"Maybe they have a hard time."
"No matter how hard you are, you can't throw your child away, so you can't find any clues about her in me."
"She's gone,"
"Gone? Why? Yu Ran asked with palpitations.
"She later died of brain cancer." The man said sadly.
"I won't be her daughter." Yu Ran was stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied, although she blamed them, she hoped that her biological parents would live in good health.
There was a long silence in the air.
"Why didn't you play with them?" The man was the first to break the silence and gestured to the noisy hall.
"That world doesn't belong to me, what about you? Why not go back to your world? Yu Ran looked at him, no matter what he was dressed or what he was wearing, he would not be an idle person.
"That world doesn't belong to me." The man said with a smile.
"Ghost only believes, you are rich at first glance."
"But I like to be quiet."
"You also sneaked out? No one will look for you, will they? "I don't know why, but she loves to talk to the man in front of her.
"No, what about you? Won't your friends look for you? ”
"No, he's with the hostess tonight, and she won't think of me."
Yuran said with a smile, she patted the stool next to her and said.
"You sit down, talk like this, your neck is sore."
She rubbed her somewhat stiff neck, and her stomach rumbled as she moved, and she hurriedly covered her stomach and said embarrassedly.
"Why don't you steal something to eat just now, so we don't have to go hungry while we talk."
"Then you wait here, I'll go steal some food." The man finished speaking and walked towards the lively hall.
"You must not be discovered by others, otherwise the two of us will be embarrassed." Yu Ran whispered.
"Don't worry, I'll never be discovered."
The man said with a smile, his eyes full of pampering. He really likes the girl in front of him.
"Don't forget me here." Yu Ran told her again, she really wanted to eat those desserts.
"No, you're already imprinted in my mind, I'm afraid it's hard to forget."
The man smiled all the way down the hall, beckoned a servant to not attract attention, and whispered a few words in her ear.
After a while, the maid handed the man two full plates of dim sum, and the man took the dim sum and quickly came to Yu Ran.
"See what you like to eat?"
"So many, undiscovered." Yuran asked nervously.
"No one will find out, you can eat it with confidence."
The man placed the snack between the two men and then sat down on a chair as well.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Yu Ran looked at the man who had not moved.
"It's okay to watch you eat it, I don't like desserts."
"Then why are you taking so much, I can't eat it all by myself." Yu Ran was a little anxious
"If you can't finish eating, you can just leave it over."
"That's a waste, I don't like wasting food."
"So what do you say?"
"You'll have to finish it for me." Yuran stubbornly picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it to him.
"Okay, I'll eat with you." The man took the snack and put it in his mouth.
"That's right, how can you not like something so delicious."
After speaking, she picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth, the sweet taste filled her taste buds, and she closed her eyes in enjoyment. "It's delicious!"
"You're easily satisfied."
"What's not to be satisfied with? I am grateful that God has given me this healthy body, and I am so lucky compared to those who have lost their feet. Yuran said contentedly.
"What's your name?"
"Wang Yuran, what about you?"
"Xu Shixiong, can we make friends?"
"Then wouldn't you suffer too much, first, I can't help you when you encounter something because I don't have the energy to take care of others, I'm already too busy to take care of myself, and second, I don't have the money to invite you to dinner, because I'm poor and white."
"I can help you."
"Why? Just because I'm like your first love? ”
"Maybe, it always feels like the two of us have this fate."
"If you think it's okay, we'll make friends, but don't bother me then."
"Absolutely not, give, this is my business card, if you need my help, I will be the first to arrive." Xu Shixiong handed him a business card.
"I'll take it if it's so sincere."
Yuran put away the business card, then stood up, touched his swollen belly and said, "It's so good to eat, it's all because your new friend stole so many snacks from others." ”
"I wanted to take a few more things, and I didn't let you eat them all." Xu Shixiong said with a smile on his face.
"I've been hungry since I was a kid, so I don't want to waste a drop of food."
Xu Shixiong looked at her blankly, there are very few such girls now, and they are so sensible that they are distressing.
"Let's do a dance, it will help with digestion." Xu Shixiong looked at the familiar figure in front of him, as if he had returned to his twenties.
"How can you dance without music?"
"Isn't there music in the hall?"
Yu Ran listened to the melodious music coming from the hall and said with a smile: "The beautiful scenery under the moonlight is really suitable for dancing. ”
