Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Washed Until My Skin Peels Off
Mu Ran: "Where’s my phone!"
She dug through a pile of miscellaneous stuff in the study and found the phone, immediately deleting the fingerprint unlock.
Seeing that there was also facial recognition, she deleted that too!!!
Xiao Yu’an awkwardly touched his nose, "Sorry."
"Haha." Mu Ran pointed to the study door, "You better hurry-home."
"I won’t, I want to stay at your place." Xiao Yu’an went up to her and hugged her tightly, "We haven’t seen each other for so long, don’t you miss me? Your friend even called me a simp, that’s too much."
Mu Ran pursed her lips.
The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly.
"She’s just talking nonsense."
"Then why don’t you trust me?" Xiao Yu’an also started to settle accounts after autumn.
"Uh... I’m dumb, you’re smart, is that okay?" Mu Ran was indeed a bit guilty, and didn’t argue with him, just went along.
"No way." freēwebnovel.com
"Then what do I have to do to make you happy again?"
"Kiss me!"
Xiao Yu’an tilted his chin up.
Indicating for her to kiss his lips.
Mu Ran kissed his cheek, "Okay, let’s turn the page on this."
"No, I still want to stay at your place."
"Xiao Yu’an, I’m warning you, don’t push it." Mu Ran pointed at him, her eyes full of threatening intent.
"Clearly it’s your fault, yet you scold me." Xiao Yu’an was shocked, "You’re really unreasonable."
"Got a problem?"
"No."
Xiao Yu’an quickly denied, "I’m going to take a shower, later we can sleep together, or as compensation for your ’domestic violence,’ you could join me in the shower."
"Hey, hey, hey, I never hit you, don’t falsely accuse me." Mu Ran irritably picked up a file and swatted at him.
"You see, you’re always laying hands on me. When I came to find you, you kicked me many times."
Xiao Yu’an reminded her.
Mu Ran thought for a moment.
Last year when he came to find her, because she hated cheating men, she indeed was a bit excessive and kicked him hard.
She seemed not to hold back at all.
Mu Ran felt guilty again, her light brown eyes drifting elsewhere, "Hitting means affection, scolding means love."
"You’re really reciting classic ’bad girl’ lines; as compensation, you have to shower with me."
"Why shower again? I just showered, if I shower again I’ll lose my skin." Mu Ran was bewildered.
Xiao Yu’an covered his face.
She... really... lacks any sense of romance.
"We had such a nice atmosphere, and you ruined it."
"Really, didn’t feel it." Mu Ran swatted at him with the file again, "Are you going to shower or not, stop dawdling."
Xiao Yu’an pulled her to go together.
Mu Ran kicked him again.
Xiao Yu’an bent down and carried her princess-style to the room, went to the bathroom, and filled the bathtub with water.
He then gently took off her clothes and placed her in the bathtub, following suit himself.
After the bath.
Mu Ran only had one thought: A man’s mouth is full of lies; he said one time was enough, but it wasn’t. Forget losing skin, her skin was completely soaked.
Xiao Yu’an lay on the bed, tucked her in, held her in his arms, kissed her again, and then they fell asleep together.
When they woke up.
The phone had been ringing off the hook.
The last time he suddenly visited during a film shoot, Mu Ran was prepared and had everything arranged. This time was too unexpected; one event led to another, all developments beyond her expectations.
When they woke up.
It was already eleven o’clock.
Mu Ran slapped her forehead and told the studio partners, "I’ll be there in half an hour, please stall for a bit, sorry."
She then hurriedly opened the closet, grabbed a sweatshirt and pants, brushed her teeth and washed her face, grabbed the keys, went downstairs, and roared off on her motorcycle.
Xiao Yu’an was about to speak but hesitated.
He wanted to say, "Be safe," but he thought Mu Ran probably wouldn’t hear him.
His phone rang, his grandfather was urging furiously, "Today is the shareholders’ meeting, didn’t you know!!!!"
Old Master Xiao was about to explode; he arranged such an important occasion for his grandson, yet he was late!
"Got it."
After hanging up, Xiao Yu’an bought clothes and had them delivered by the clothing store, then he washed up, changed clothes, and headed out.
He drove there yesterday too.
Just right to drive to work, in the meeting room met Xiao Baocang’s smug gaze, Xiao Yu’an’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent.
Xiao Jin mentioned.
He was collaborating with Xiao Baocang.
He’s always wanted to break him and Mu Ran up, courting death!
"Brother, your time management is quite poor, our group’s major shareholders are all busy people, but waiting for you, we’ve wasted two and a half hours here, isn’t that too much?"
Xiao Baocang spoke up.
The other shareholders all nodded in agreement; according to Old Master Xiao, this vast Xiao Group was meant for Xiao Yu’an.
But seeing his attitude.
It wasn’t something a junior should have.
Father Xiao was even sarcastic, "Aren’t you so capable? If you’re capable, just don’t come back, why return at all? Just like your mom, seeing you sickens me."
"Everyone shut up!"
Old Master Xiao glanced at his cane, the meeting room quieted down, and then with a stern face he looked at Xiao Yu’an: "Why were you late? Was there something so urgent that you couldn’t spare even two and a half hours?"
"No, just finding out why there was a car accident." Xiao Yu’an’s indifferent gaze swept over Xiao Baocang.
Xiao Baocang’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Everyone present were skilled in social affairs, glanced at each other, with eyes filled with contemplation.
Old Master Xiao also glanced at Xiao Baocang, feeling uneasy, "Alright, sit nicely, don’t keep your elders waiting again!"
The meeting began.
Xiao Baocang actively performed.
He could attend mainly due to riding on Father Xiao’s coattails; even though Father Xiao was useless, as Old Master Xiao’s only son, he still had some shares.
Xiao Yu’an was composed and carefree.
His mind was full of thoughts about Mu Ran, her outfit today, wearing a cream-colored sweatshirt, without makeup, fair and tender, adorably looking like a high schooler, truly loved it.
"Yu An, what do you think of the next development?" Old Master Xiao specifically pointed out, quite irritated, this guy didn’t even pretend to listen, playing with his phone at such an important occasion.
"Borrowing more money is asking for trouble." Xiao Yu’an evaluated.
Immediately everyone criticized him.
"What are you talking about? Our group is even tied with the country."
"Yes, yes, a young man like you doesn’t understand anything, not even listening properly, just giving random orders."
"Old Master Xiao is ultimately too old, wanting to elevate such a young fellow."
...
All the shareholders had their own thoughts, planning to participate in Xiao Group’s planning, and borrowing money to start a new project meant they could take part; end-of-year bonuses would be bigger too.
It’s about new energy.
Who wouldn’t say it’s a good idea!
Everyone’s involved now, just Xiao Yu’an thinks different, who does he think he is?
