Chapter 119: Chapter 119: The Eunuch Waiting to Be Chosen

“Who are you?” Mu Ran searched her memories but did not recognize this person.

“I’m the college student you once sponsored.” Lin Yusong took out his phone, finding a photo of her taken back in the day. “Here’s the photo of your visit to our village for charitable support.”

Mu Ran leaned in to take a closer look.

That was her when she was seventeen or eighteen, when she went to do charity work, praying for Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin, who was restless while in his sister’s womb, showed signs of miscarriage multiple times. She couldn’t do anything about it, so she hoped the heavens would spare him through her efforts.

But she only went for three to four months.

After Xiao Jin was born, she stopped because she was really tired, and her teacher was on the verge of scolding her for always skipping classes.

When she turned twenty and entered society, her charity work was just being a nominal leader, giving money without putting in effort. Looking at the photo today, it stirred old memories for Mu Ran, but she averted her gaze and said plainly, “No need to repay.”

“Sorry, I might have let you down by choosing this path.” Lin Yusong pursed his lips.

“I’m not disappointed; I don’t pay attention to you.” Mu Ran accepted the colorful drink from the young bartender, gently shaking it, speaking indifferently, “Don’t disturb me for nothing.”

She was feeling annoyed.

Lin Yusong wasn’t disappointed. “Though you might not care, I still need to thank you.”

Mu Ran replied with a casual “Hmm.”

At that moment, a shout rang in her ears.

“Ah ah ah, Director Mu, you’re here too.” Song Biao had recently seen his script and was overjoyed, even more excited seeing Mu Ran, especially noticing Lin Yusong. He winked at Mu Ran, “Director Mu, looking for handsome men, huh? Let me know, I’ll arrange all kinds, whatever you need, they’ll be on their best behavior!”

He was tall and very robust.

His loud voice made Mu Ran’s ears buzz, “Lower your voice.”

“Okay.” Song Biao complied, then called over a manager to arrange the best private room, whispering, “Get the good-looking male hosts in, they could be from other places too. My dear Director Mu is here, got to serve well. Remember, get guys with great service attitude!”

The manager immediately understood.

Watching the scene unfold, Zhou Chaobin stood lazily with arms crossed, and when Mu Ran looked over, he smiled and praised, “Director Mu, changed your hairstyle? It’s looking great today.”

Mu Ran’s face remained indifferent.

Damn.

She wanted some peace.

One after another, they were all crowding in, acting nuts.

Zhou Chaobin took a look at Lin Yusong as well, with his excellent physique that stood out in a crowd. His jawline was defined, and most importantly, his lips looked nice, giving them a kissable look, making him comment, “The choice isn’t bad either.”

Though he faintly remembered his friend Xiao Yu’an also liked Mu Ran.

The good ol’ buddy lost to an ’extra’!

Tragic!

This was really tragic!

Song Biao was completely oblivious to the situation, but he still didn’t take Lin Yusong seriously. He eagerly said to Mu Ran, “Director Mu, I’ll pick some really good-looking men later for you.”

Zhou Chaobin couldn’t bear to watch, leaning against a nearby pillar, quietly sending a mocking message to Xiao Yu’an, “I ran into Director Mu at the bar today, and there’s a charming ’extra’ around her, tsk tsk tsk, should’ve pursued her sooner, now it’s your own fault!”

Given his years of experience in the field.

Yu An definitely liked Director Mu; whether Director Mu liked Yu An was hard to tell.

She’s hard to figure out.

Agitated as her baseline, with a capricious personality, since he once saw her fighting with traffickers, Zhou Chaobin decided, for the sake of his life, not to provoke Director Mu.

While turning restlessly in a mansion, Xiao Yu’an saw the message and, after a casual glance, immediately jumped out of bed, phoning Zhou Chaobin, “Where are you?”

“Oh, getting anxious now, huh?” Zhou Chaobin laughed.

“The address!”

“Alright, given you’re my buddy, I’ll send it to you.” Zhou Chaobin sent him the address, waiting for the unfolding drama.

Especially watching Song Biao bustling around, his lips curled slightly.

As a wealthy scion, he naturally exuded a lazy elegance and could stand like a perfect painting of a medieval court, with impeccable bearing!

Ju Yuezhi originally came to the bar upon hearing the news, intending to disrupt Mu Ran and Xiao Yu’an’s relationship. But seeing Zhou Chaobin’s smile made her heart race.

She suspected she was a fickle woman.

Last time she met Xiao Yu’an, she was also intrigued, but seeing Zhou Chaobin made her a bit sad, due to the unattainability.

The moment his gaze casually swept over her, Ju Yuezhi hurriedly left; having investigated Xiao Yu’an, she was naturally aware of Zhou Chaobin.

He was a notorious womanizer.

He was a jerk!

Ju Yuezhi cautioned herself to remain calm and focus on her career. Though Zhou Chaobin wasn’t head of his family’s decisions, Xiao Yu’an was!!!

But she couldn’t help but look at Zhou Chaobin; his deep eyes and superior profile, exuding elegance and nobility—the perfection of his glance reverberated in her thoughts!

She left right as she crossed paths with Xiao Yu’an.

Xiao Yu’an stood not far from Mu Ran, watching the men around her.

An unknown man groveling.

And Song Biao seemingly like a eunuch inviting the Emperor’s favor.

Mu Ran, listening to Song Biao’s chirping, was annoyed. Currently lacking the energy to argue, she couldn’t get a word in while talking to Song Biao, making her reluctant to speak, planning to go home after finishing her drink.

But a piercingly cold gaze shot through her back, followed by a familiar woody scent enveloping her. Mu Ran looked up, meeting Xiao Yu’an’s fiery stare.

The man’s gaze became increasingly dark and fiery as if ready to burn her completely.

Mu Ran remained silent.

This really felt like being caught in the act now.

Song Biao saw Xiao Yu’an and was very excited, leaning over happily, “Brother Xiao, you’re here! This is my director, Mu Ran, quite a personality indeed. She had the interest to come to my bar today, so I’ve arranged a bunch of male hosts for her selection.”

“Is that so?” Xiao Yu’an smiled, the smile not reaching his eyes, “Is Director Mu satisfied?”

Mu Ran: “…”

What could she say at this moment?

Of course, she should retort righteously, “It’s alright, at least better than some people suddenly braking halfway.”

Xiao Yu’an couldn’t even muster a forced smile.

Four eyes met, sparks flying!

Mu Ran didn’t feel guilty; she hadn’t done anything wrong, any romantic advances were quickly quashed. Seeing him angry only made her more irritable, with a breakup nearly escaping her lips.

The phone rang just then.

Xiao Jin called, “Auntie, when are you coming home? It’s going to rain and thunder outside, I’m a bit scared.”

“Now.” Mu Ran got off the bar stool, prepared to leave, seeing Song Biao still somewhat reluctant. She said, “Don’t waste it, enjoy yourself. I’m heading out; remember to study the script well.”

Song Biao suddenly felt singled out by the teacher.

He immediately stood straight and replied, “I will!”
