"Really? Mom, are you sure you won't be angry?"
Hearing her words, Shao An's face couldn't help but reveal an expression of pleasant surprise, and his distinct black and white eyes were filled with joy.
However, he suddenly thought of a rather serious question. He frowned and asked worriedly, "But mother, if you're not happy when you see uncle, what should we do?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Shao Ran maliciously threw the question in front of him yet again.
Hearing that, Shao An's frown deepened, his expression was extremely heavy, obviously he was troubled by such a difficult problem.
Seeing him like that, Shao Ran suddenly could not bear to tease him anymore. Just as he was about to speak, he saw him raise his head and say seriously: "If it's like that, then I'll secretly befriend him, and not let you see, so that you won't be even more angry, okay?"
Shao Ran: "..."
It was really, really a good idea.
Shao Ran looked at his serious expression and then lightly nodded his head. He said, "Of course it's good, An An is really too smart to think of such a method."
Shao Ran caressed his head with a hand and said with a very gentle smile, "Alright, let's go wash up first, then mother will tell you a story, okay?"
"Alright."
Downstairs, Ji Jingbai looked at the room with the lights on, then lowered his eyes and looked at the small bag in his hand.
Inside it were a few strands of hair that he had just cut off from Shao An's head.
Although he had already confirmed in his heart that Shao An was his child, Shao Ran's rejection of him like this made him a little upset. He might as well make a decision and see if it was true or false.
He took out his phone and was about to call the assistant when his eyes caught the time. He thought for a moment and then put his phone away.
"Forget it, there's no need to be in such a rush. I can still make it here tomorrow."
After placing the bag into the storage bag and keeping it safe, Ji Jingbai raised his head and looked at the room again. Although he was unwilling, he still turned and left.
Shao Ran knew that many of her colleagues had seen what had happened yesterday, and she would definitely be questioned at work today.
Therefore, when someone stood in front of her with an obvious gossipy expression on their face, she had already mentally prepared herself.
"Shao Ran, who was the man that was with you yesterday?" The one who spoke was an employee of her department. Although she didn't have a job title, there were rumors that she was the next supervisor because of her seniority, so everyone was very polite to her.
It was just that Zhang Miao had a bad habit of gossiping. If she knew anything about others, it wouldn't be long before the entire company knew about it.
It was his first time here, and even with Lin Shen as his backer, Shao Ran did not want to trouble him with everything. Hence, he could only endure the discomfort in his heart, smiled at her, and said softly: "That was a friend that I knew in the past."
Right now, she could only pray that no one discovered Ji Jingbai, or else things would get complicated.
Although many people saw it yesterday, they did not manage to see Ji Jingbai's appearance. After all, his aura was right there, so they did not dare to glance in that direction easily.
But even if it was just an imagination, it was enough to imagine an ethical play.
"Friends?"
With raised eyebrows, Zhang Miao smiled with a deeper meaning, "What kind of friends can cuddle and hug each other like this, it's because I'm old, that I don't understand the habits of the young people these days?"
As she said that, she glanced to the side and saw Shao An, who was sitting obediently beside Shao Ran, the mocking smile on her lips became even wider: "But there's nothing strange about this, after all, you're already an unmarried child, so if you're already so brazen, then it's fine even if you're closer to other men. After all, Young Master Lin is young and has accomplishments, and is unwilling to be the successor. I have to say that you have pretty good eyes. The man yesterday knew that he was rich and powerful, but I'm not sure if he would like someone like you. It's just for fun. "
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Shao Ran frowned and stood up abruptly. With a cold face and a cold tone, she said, "Sister Zhang, I respect you as a senior, but please be polite when you speak of it. Lin Shen and I are just ordinary friends.
"Yo, you say I'm despicable? Do you really have the nerve to say that?"
Seeing her expression change, Zhang Miao didn't take it to heart at all. She scoffed disdainfully, and said with a sneer: "What have I done, and haven't I counted it in my heart? "Amongst those present, who doesn't know how you came in. It's all thanks to your pretty face and your ability to seduce people. Otherwise, how could Young Master Lin not make an exception for you. This' friend 'is really something!"
"You "
Hearing her undisguised mocking and ridicule, Shao Ran was so angry that her eyes turned red. Her body trembled slightly, and her hands clenched into fists.
"Zhang Miao, don't talk too much. If you are dissatisfied, you can say it directly, you don't have to say it in such a weird way, I am a man of my words, there is nothing shameful about it. If you continue to speak in such a nasty tone, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
This was the first time she was angry, her cold voice carried an obvious deterrent force, causing everyone who was spectating to be unable to help but hold their breath, and not even daring to breathe loudly.
Zhang Miao did not expect her to have such a side, and was stunned by her for a moment. After half a day, she reacted and snorted lightly, not in a good mood: "Yo, you're trying to outdo me, aren't you? If you really want to raise them, then go home and raise them, don't stay here and affect everyone else. With so many people busy and not acting like this, it is already enough to be distracted, yet you are like an old man. Not only are you not working, you are even bringing a child.
