Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Date

In the early morning, a playful ray of sunlight sneaked through the gap in the slightly open curtain, waking Xiao Yu’an, who opened his eyes for the first time to see his beloved.

A smile naturally hung on his face.

He leaned in to kiss her cheek.

Mu Ran pushed his face away and mumbled, “What are you doing, what time is it?”

“Nine o’clock.”

“I knew it.” At this moment, Mu Ran couldn’t help but marvel at her foresight. With her boyfriend visiting, as adults, they couldn’t resist doing certain things, so she had planned accordingly the night before.

She arranged to give herself a day off and then schedule a denser timetable later.

Xiao Yu’an chuckled, held her hand, and kissed it again, “I’ll make you breakfast. What would you like to eat?”

“Buns and soy milk.”

“Then I’ll buy some instead.” Soy milk was easy, but making buns was too difficult.

Mu Ran opened her eyes and closed them again, hugging his neck and snuggling close, “I want to sleep a little more, don’t want to eat, stay with me.”

“Alright.”

“You seem kind of aggrieved.”

“No, be good, sleep.” Xiao Yu’an gently stroked her back, helping her gradually fall asleep again. He lay in bed all morning, enjoying an unproductive morning.

Mu Ran woke again precisely at noon.

“How about we order takeout?”

“I want to go out to eat.”

“Okay, where to?”

“To Song Biao’s anime-themed restaurant.” Xiao Yu’an looked at her.

Mu Ran’s mind turned over, and she suddenly laughed, “You’re still jealous, alright, I’ll take you there.”

After changing clothes, Mu Ran led Xiao Yu’an to the restaurant. As Xiao Yu’an got out of the car, he looked around to see if there were any paparazzi, finding none.

He felt a bit regretful.

“What’s up, what are you looking at?” Mu Ran nudged his arm, “Look, what themed room do you want?”

“This one.” Xiao Yu’an chose a rather cool one.

“Alright, that one it is.” Mu Ran handed the tablet to the staff, taking Xiao Yu’an inside with her. She immediately spotted the conspicuous golden retriever — Yun Fei.

Yun Fei also noticed her, along with Xiao Yu’an.

With Mu Ran’s boyfriend present, Yun Fei dared not make any moves, simply watching Mu Ran with moist eyes, like a golden retriever abandoned by its owner but staying obediently there, hoping for one more look.

Mu Ran: “…”

She looked at Xiao Yu’an.

Xiao Yu’an kept a cold face and whispered to Mu Ran, “Give up on that thought. I won’t take him out to eat with us.”

“Tsk, I knew it.”

This jealous guy.

Mu Ran smiled and nodded to Yun Fei, without any further reaction. For her, Xiao Yu’an, as a boyfriend, was the most important.

Mu Ran led him into the booth, and only then was Xiao Yu’an satisfied, “You did well today.”

“Hmph, I always do well.” Mu Ran confidently praised herself and started ordering dishes.

She asked Xiao Yu’an if he had anything to add, and Xiao Yu’an shook his head, “Three dishes for the two of us are about right.”

“True, let’s not waste food.” Mu Ran returned the tablet to the waiter and asked him, “Do you want to take photos?”

“Photos, with you?”

“Yes.”

“Are you announcing us?”

“Announcing? Haven’t I already said I have a boyfriend?” Mu Ran thought that was an announcement.

“No, like posting on Weibo.”

“No way. I’m not a celebrity who needs to report to the public about who I’m with. I don’t want others commenting on our relationship.” Mu Ran frowned, “If they talked about you, I’d get mad.”

Xiao Yu’an’s previously unhappy mood was instantly soothed, “You’re too kind, give me a kiss.”

“Stop it, you’re just taking advantage of me.” Mu Ran playfully scolded but didn’t stop his actions, “How’s your development abroad?”

“I’m preparing to start a security company. Even before it’s established, we already have orders.”

“… You seem to be getting along better with Song Biao.” Mu Ran mentioned unrelated matters.

Xiao Yu’an nodded honestly, “I do have a large stash of arms abroad.”

His career and past should gradually be laid before Mu Ran.

Mu Ran pursed her lips, frowning, and looked him up and down, “If we ever broke up, you wouldn’t imprison me like those CEOs in novels, would you?”

“Shut up, we won’t break up.” Xiao Yu’an pinched her cheek, “I’m your man, you have to take responsibility.”

“Would you imprison me?” Mu Ran pressed on.

She had read plenty of romantic novels in middle school, and now her thoughts spread widely, wanting an answer.

“No, I abide by the law.”

“Get lost.”

“I really do abide by the law, and I’m your man, I would never do anything to harm you.” Xiao Yu’an gazed into her clear, bright eyes, his tone softening, “Mu Ran, you need to know, I love you.”

Meeting his deep, affectionate eyes, Mu Ran felt touched, “Okay, I was just asking.”

The dishes were served, and Mu Ran ate with gusto, “How does it taste to you?”

“It’s okay.”

“Eh, you’re so picky.” Mu Ran saw he wasn’t too fond, so she kept giving him more food, “Eat more, don’t waste, wasting food is shameful.”

“Why aren’t you eating more?”

“I’m going to wander around the town later, drink milk tea, eat snacks, gotta save some room.”

“Those things aren’t good…”

He stopped talking, understandingly silent.

Mu Ran was about to get angry.

He was scared.

Not far from the filming location was an ancient town, a water village with white walls, black tiles, small bridges, flowing water, a rich history, fewer delicacies, but the scenery was calming, perfect for a leisurely stroll.

A breeze blew, and Mu Ran swayed Xiao Yu’an’s hand, feeling relaxed and free.

Not far, a couple was taking photos, and Xiao Yu’an immediately said, “Let me take photos of you.”

“Is that okay?”

“Sure.”

He had learned this before.

“Okay then.”

Today, Mu Ran felt a bit warm, taking off her down jacket. She wore a thin black sweater, her sharp shoulders beautiful, tucked into tight black pants, highlighting her waist and hips, paired with black boots, her long legs both attractive and striking.

She also secretly removed her mask, “Hurry, take the photos.”

Xiao Yu’an stared at her shapely figure, Adam’s apple moving slightly, she really had the right proportions. He took a few shots before showing them to Mu Ran.

Mu Ran quickly put on her mask, swiping through the photos on his phone, “Not bad, not bad.”

As long as they weren’t ugly, she was satisfied.

“You stand there, and I’ll take a picture of you.”

“Let’s take one together.”

Standing there alone felt awkward.

“Alright.” Mu Ran took charge of the photos, borrowing a selfie stick from a girl nearby, removed her mask, and kissed Xiao Yu’an.

The girl: “!!!”
