Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Jealousy

Xiao Yu’an ate the food fed by Mu Ran, feeling that the taste was much better.

“Is it good?” Mu Ran’s expression was strange, frowning as she leaned closer to him, “If it’s not good, just spit it out.”

The two of them, in high spirits, looked at the pile of food on the table and went online to find a demon recipe, making a Houttuynia burger.

Both of them were behaving like maniacs.

“It’s okay.”

“Really?” Mu Ran didn’t believe it, took a bite of the burger herself, “Ugh—Water.”

Xiao Yu’an poured her water, and Mu Ran immediately went to rinse her mouth; the Houttuynia truly lived up to its name, with a fishy smell of live fish.

After rinsing her mouth, Mu Ran hooked Xiao Yu’an’s neck and said fiercely, “You’re messing with me, huh?”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“Humph, you really wouldn’t dare.” Mu Ran was speechless and furious, who in a date would make dark cuisine for each other?

Xiao Yu’an couldn’t help but laugh, “I didn’t spit it out.”

“Seriously, it’s too awful.” Mu Ran felt she wouldn’t touch Houttuynia again in her next life, “We better go out, staying at home is no fun.”

“Alright.” Xiao Yu’an, not wanting to return to the old house of the Xiao Family, was living in a small villa.

The two went out in Mu Ran’s extremely flashy yellow sports car, attracting attention all the way.

Mu Ran wore sunglasses, was driving the sports car, donned a camisole topped with a thin shirt, a high-waisted A-line short skirt paired with white shoes, her makeup both alluring and elegant. As she got out of the car and entered the automobile museum hand in hand with Xiao Yu’an, many people turned their heads to look.

Seeing this, Mu Ran had no choice but to put on a mask, feeling annoyed, “I’m too popular, it’s unavoidable.”

“Even if you’re not popular, you attract attention.”

Today she wasn’t wearing her usual wavy curls, but straight hair. Xiao Yu’an really liked it; his mind went blank the first time he saw her, and now he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“Not bad, today you’re quite eloquent.” Mu Ran held his hand as they entered the automobile museum.

At the moment their fingers interlocked, Mu Ran noticed a scar at the base of his thumb, left with a shallow, white bump after the scab fell off. Her fingertip lightly traced the scar, feeling it, as Xiao Yu’an’s voice, gritting his teeth, came close to her ear, “What are you doing?”

Mu Ran looked innocent, “I didn’t do anything.”

She felt heartache as she touched the wound.

Absolutely no other thoughts.

But Xiao Yu’an felt her touch tickling, saw her blink mischievously like a fox, he felt helpless, “Don’t touch.”

“Why?” Mu Ran asked knowingly.

Xiao Yu’an changed from holding her hand to linking arms with her, his resolve not strong enough to resist her temptation, “Focus on looking at the cars.”

The automobile museum boasted cool elegance, many people passing through the entrance, car enthusiasts, people taking photos, couples on dates.

The ticket cost hundreds of dollars; Mu Ran came here today planning to look at sports cars, maybe buy one for both herself and Xiao Yu’an to enjoy.

Her hobbies: motorcycles, sports cars, anime, snacking, and that’s it.

There were dedicated staff at the museum to explain things to them, Xiao Yu’an, who had never driven a sports car before, was quickly captivated.

“We have VR here to experience it, do you guys want to play together?”

The two agreed and went to experience it, Mu Ran’s skills far superior to Xiao Yu’an’s, displaying some pride before him, “Am I good, huh~”

“Not bad.” Seeing many people’s attention, Xiao Yu’an pulled her into his arms, “Let’s go to the 5S store.”

“Alright!”

As they were leaving, Mu Ran also asked him, “What do you like?”

“Me? Horse riding, archery, shooting.”

“Recently my sister-in-law invested in a club that has shooting experiences, shall we go there?” Mu Ran suggested.

Xiao Yu’an naturally had no objections.

On the way to see cars at the 5S store, suddenly someone tentatively called out Mu Ran.

Mu Ran turned her head and saw Jiao Yuyao, somewhat surprised, “Are you here to buy a car too?”

Jiao Yuyao looked at her holding hands with someone else, emotions of grievance, unwillingness, and anger swelling inside his chest almost to bursting, nose souring, but facing her calm and light brown eyes, he could only suppress the surging emotions in his heart, his voice slightly hoarse, “Just browsing, adding some energy to life. What brings you here and who’s this?”

“Buying a sports car, my boyfriend Xiao Yu’an.” Mu Ran introduced, then told Xiao Yu’an, “A producer I often work with, also a university classmate, named Jiao Yuyao.”

Xiao Yu’an raised an eyebrow.

He remembered Jiao Yuyao well.

There were people online who liked him and Mu Ran being together.

“Hello.”

He generously extended his hand.

Jiao Yuyao’s fingertips trembled, his eyes already showing red blood veins, seeing Mu Ran looking perfectly normal, his heart felt like it was being hammered harshly, making it impossible for him to think calmly, “Sorry, I have something urgent, I’ll head out first.”

His nose felt sour as he hurried through the door, into the underground garage, leaning against the hard, rough wall, gradually sliding down, tears falling in grievance.

Mu Ran at the 5S store furrowed her brows, then resumed looking at cars, unperturbed by Jiao Yuyao’s actions.

Xiao Yu’an had researched Mu Ran’s background.

According to her personality analysis, she would go all out to protect the ones she cares about, but those she doesn’t, wouldn’t even enter her mind.

Hence, Jiao Yuyao was someone she didn’t care about.

But they studied together, worked together, just now Jiao Yuyao’s gaze seemed like his whole world was crumbling, seeing Mu Ran still indifferent, Xiao Yu’an suddenly felt unsure about her feelings towards him.

Her liking was too capricious.

No love.

Today Xiao Jin said Mu Ran knew he was from ancient times and would break up with him, Xiao Yu’an immediately refuted, but wasn’t certain if she truly would break up.

Because, she was not Mu Ran’s only option.

“That person seemed to like you just now.”

“So what?” Mu Ran turned, slightly lifting her gaze towards him, her light brown pupils unperturbed, “Are you going to accuse me of not being moved, not being sad?”

“I don’t have the fetish of putting a green hat on myself.”

“Then shut up.”

Mu Ran coldly put on a stern face.

The salesperson swallowed fearfully, silently stepping back to distance themselves from the battlefield.

Xiao Yu’an frowned, “Why are you angry?”

“Not much, just don’t want to buy anymore, going home.” Mu Ran felt irritated, walking away briskly.

Xiao Yu’an followed closely, opened the sports car door and got in, his thin lips pressed tightly, his eyes also showing hints of anger.

The sweet atmosphere of today was instantly ruined.

Outside the car window, the scenery flashed by, neon lights dazzlingly bright, various colors occasionally illuminating the dark car interior, adding a layer of enchanting color to Mu Ran’s fair skin, and a touch of chill between her brows.

Honestly, Xiao Yu’an felt a bit scared.

Mu Ran dropped him off at his house, coolly spitting out two words, “Get off.”

Several minutes passed, Xiao Yu’an still sat in the car motionlessly.

Mu Ran turned her head to look at him, then shifted her gaze.

Damn.

He seemed even more handsome when angry.
