Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The Date

After hesitating for three minutes, Mu Ran was about to explode and called Yang Yingying: “I want to go for a ride, but I don’t know what to wear. Can you pick out an outfit for me?”

She had two fashion experts in her life.

First, her sister-in-law, Feng Qikuo.

Second, her best friend, Yang Yingying.

Yang Yingying, who was busy with post-production work, immediately scolded her, “Are you crazy? What kind of ride are you taking at this time of night? And if you’re asking about outfits, can’t you video call me?”

Mu Ran quickly hung up the phone.

Then called back with a video.

Yang Yingying looked at her few clothes, each of which she’d seen for at least a year, and could only rub her forehead, “Tank top, shorts, ankle boots—it suits you for a ride, very chic.”

“OK, you get back to work.”

Mu Ran hung up, put on a black tank top, black shorts, and black ankle boots. Her all-black outfit made her figure appear slimmer, but also more striking and cool.

Mu Ran left the house and arranged for a bodyguard to protect Xiao Jin.

She took the elevator to the basement level, where a motorcycle with a tall body and sharp lines awaited. It had a sense of power, with sides relatively thin for easy straddling, looking like a crouched beast. With her long legs, Mu Ran swung over, donned her helmet, and rode out of the parking lot, into the city streets with a purpose.

She was looking for Xiao Yu’an.

Since they were in a relationship now, it was always necessary to find him when she returned.

On the way, she passed by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of roses. The motorcycle couldn’t go too fast as she feared the wind would ruin the flowers. Once she arrived at Xiao Yu’an’s school, she called him, “Are you at school now?”

At that moment, Xiao Yu’an was looking over the financial statements of the company his grandfather had assigned to him. He found it quite easy now to grasp the big picture of the company.

He just hadn’t fully understood society yet.

Nor learned how to innovate.

He planned to start his own business.

As for what kind of business, he was still thinking about it.

When the phone rang, Xiao Yu’an saw the name “Mu Ran” on the screen, and his mood instantly lifted, “Hey, you finally have time to call me?”

“Yeah, are you still at school?”

“Yes, I’m in the dormitory. What’s up?”

“I ordered some food delivery for you. Can you come down to pick it up?”

“Alright.” Xiao Yu’an went downstairs.

Mu Ran, wearing her helmet, watched him come out of the stairwell. His aura was intense, powerful, and exuded a sense of untouchable restraint—a truly handsome sight!

He was indeed the man she had her eyes on.

That aura was unmatched.

Xiao Yu’an, feeling her gaze, instinctively looked up and met her smiling eyes.

Mu Ran curved her lips into a bright and radiant smile, waved the roses in her hand toward him, “Surprise.”

Xiao Yu’an lowered his head and chuckled softly, then quickly walked up to her, “Why did you come here on a motorcycle?”

“To take you for a ride. Want to go?” Mu Ran tilted her head at him and handed him the roses, “These are for you.”

“Thank you.” It was the first time Xiao Yu’an received something so refined and artistic. Being a rugged man, he felt a bit unused to it. “Should I take these up to my room?”

“Sure, see if you have a vase to put them in, so they don’t wilt too quickly.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Yu’an returned to his dormitory to put the flowers away.

He found it somewhat amusing.

Mu Ran really treated him like a child to be spoiled.

When he came back downstairs, Mu Ran was still eyeing him intently, slightly raising a brow before stepping forward to say, “Mind your image.”

“I’m not doing anything. Let’s go for a ride.” Mu Ran handed him a helmet.

Xiao Yu’an remembered that the original owner could ride a motorcycle and had a license. He thought motorcycles were quite cool and wanted to give it a try, so he offered, “How about I give you a ride back later?”

“Sure.” Mu Ran had no objections, “By the way, we’re going for barbecue afterward. Can you handle it?”

He was the young master of the Xiao Family.

Surely raised in luxury.

Mu Ran didn’t want to drag him to a barbecue without asking, so she checked beforehand.

Xiao Yu’an had no problem with it, “Sure.”

He had once eaten whatever he could find to satisfy his hunger in enemy camps, much less modern barbecue, which was typically tasty.

So, the two rode the motorcycle through the bustling streets of Hai City. The night breeze swept over them, offering a coolness hard to find during the day, along with the unique thrill of riding a motorcycle.

Mu Ran stopped at a remote roadside eatery by the river. The customers were scattered around, and after they got off, the two went to order dishes.

People passing by would glance at them, with most eyes focused on Xiao Yu’an, as Mu Ran was wearing a mask.

His bone structure, facial features, and aura were top-notch. Tall and well-built, his facial features were sharp and elegant, with strong brows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, giving off an air that was both pure and noble.

He stood out from the crowd.

Even the stall’s owner and his wife were frequently glancing at him, amazed by how good-looking this young man was!

Xiao Yu’an quickly ordered their food.

He didn’t want to be ogled like a rare exhibit.

After they both ordered, Mu Ran grabbed some beer and laughed, saying, “Earlier you said you’d drive, so you can’t drink, but I can!”

“Alright…”

He actually wanted to drink too.

But modern traffic laws forbid drinking and driving.

The two sat by the river, Mu Ran popped open a beer bottle, poured herself a glass, and casually lounged in her chair, savoring the beer’s cool, refreshing taste.

Mu Ran gazed at the shimmering river ahead. The gentle breeze lifted her hair slightly, making her feel relaxed and free.

“Do you come here often?” Xiao Yu’an noticed she seemed familiar with the place.

“Yeah, the owner used to run a barbecue shop near my elementary school. I got used to eating there as a kid. After he moved here, I often ride my motorcycle here. You can try it later; the owner’s beef and lamb skewers are amazing!”

The two plates of barbecue arrived quickly.

Xiao Yu’an picked up a lamb skewer. The lamb wasn’t gamey, the texture was average, but the person barbecuing had good control over the heat, so overall it was decent. Most importantly, the scenery here was lovely, “The taste is good, and the price is fair.”

“Yeah, good value for money. When I was a kid, my brother didn’t like giving me money, thinking I was being rebellious, so I had to use the pocket money from my housekeeper to buy food.”

That was one of the reasons Mu Ran disliked her brother so much.

Despite the family being wealthy, because the teacher said she was rebellious and immature, she often argued with her brother.

Mu Dixin, that guy, would restrict her funds!

Hmph.

Didn’t let her eat when she was a kid; she would eat to her heart’s content now.

“Didn’t your sister give you money either?” Xiao Yu’an asked tentatively.

“My sister?” Mu Ran was puzzled.

“Yeah, the child you took to the show, isn’t she your sister’s kid?” Xiao Yu’an bit into a beef skewer while watching her expression.

He had previously tried investigating Xiao Jin but was blocked by Mu Ran’s brother and almost discovered. He couldn’t turn to Old Master Xiao for help, which slowed his progress in meeting Xiao Jin. Now, approaching Xiao Jin through Mu Ran seemed to be the safest route.
