“Am I that annoying?”
Huo Tian shouted as he grabbed Bai Ran, who was about to go upstairs.
Bai Ran turned around with faint displeasure on her face and said, “No, it’s just that I’ve been too busy recently. I really don’t have time to eat with you.”
“No matter how busy you are, you can’t possibly skip your lunch! This is an excuse!” Huo Tian still held Bai Ran tightly and refused to let go. “I don’t know where you went or why you’re only back now. It’s almost lunchtime.”
“You said I just came back, so I must continue working,” Bai Ran replied unhappily. She looked at Huo Tian’s hand. “Let go of me. I’m going upstairs first.”
“You don’t even have time to eat with me?” Huo Tian’s voice was a little aggrieved, but he was still unwilling to let go.
“You said you would respect me.” Bai Ran’s tone was cold, and her eyes were still fixed on the hand on her arm.
“I…” Huo Tian let go immediately.
Damn it, why did he feel like he was being kidnapped by those words? Like he couldn’t do anything.
“Then I’ll go up,” Bai Ran replied calmly. She turned around and saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of the hall from the corner of her eye.
“Wait, I’m free!”
Just as Huo Tian turned to leave, he heard this shout from behind.
“Ah, really?” Huo Tian turned around in surprise.
“Yes, let’s eat together.” Bai Ran took a few steps forward and even took Huo Tian’s arm.
Huo Tian immediately felt overwhelmed by her favor. His entire body was surrounded by happiness, but he was also curious as to why Bai Ran had suddenly changed so quickly.
Just as he was about to ask, Huo Tian looked up and saw the figure walking into the hall.
It was Chen Chen!
Huo Tian’s eyes turned from pleasant surprise to a helpless relief.
So that was how it was.
Bai Ran looked at Huo Tian’s eyes and her expression became a little unnatural. “I’m sorry, I…”
At this moment, she really did not want to face Chen Chen alone.
“There’s no need to say anything. Let’s go out together.” Huo Tian shushed Bai Ran.
Huo Tian guessed Bai Ran’s thoughts, but he was afraid that Chen Chen was probably here to investigate Jiang Yun.
Huo Tian looked at Bai Ran’s slender hand that was still wrapped around his arm and smiled.
No matter what, no matter what her motive was, at least at this moment, he still felt quite happy.
The two of them walked out together and met Chen Chen walking toward them.
Chen Chen saw the hand on Huo Tian’s arm at a glance and immediately went forward to pull Bai Ran over to separate the two of them.
“Since when are you so close to him?” Chen Chen looked at Bai Ran in surprise.
“Are you deliberately taking revenge on me because of those things? Do you have to do this?” Chen Chen continued.
“Young Master Chen, you’re joking. I don’t know what you’re talking about. If it’s about these things that have happened to me recently, I don’t think I can take revenge on you because you don’t care,” Bai Ran said as she raised her head and looked at Chen Chen.
“Who said I don’t care?” Chen Chen’s eyebrows immediately raised.
“Then say whatever you want. I’m going to eat first.” Bai Ran turned and walked to Huo Tian.
She really did not want to engage in meaningless entanglements anymore. Holding Huo Tian’s arm was not to fight for her pride. She only hoped that Chen Chen would be willing to let go sooner when he saw this situation.
“No, you can’t go with him!” Chen Chen followed her to Huo Tian and Bai Ran.
“Mr. Chen, it’s up to Miss Bai who she wants to go with!” Huo Tian stepped forward and blocked Bai Ran.
“No, you’re just interfering between us! Otherwise, why did you look for her? Otherwise, why would she leave with you?” Chen Chen pulled Huo Tian away and shouted.
Chen Chen had originally come over to investigate Jiang Yun after he was done with work.
Although he did not have to do this personally, he probably subconsciously wanted to be closer to Bai Ran to see her.
In the end, he bumped into Bai Ran and Huo Tian together. They were even so intimate!
Instantly, he began to suspect that Huo Tian was pretending!
He was the one who was the oriole behind, and now he was taking advantage of the situation!
“I didn’t do anything from the beginning to the end.. I only invited her to lunch!” Huo Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Chen with a clear conscience.
