CEO’s Acquisitive Love - Chapter 57 After Sobering up

Guan Jingyi didn’t think too much about it. He simply took the cup of water and the white pill from Xu Ran and swallowed it. Guan Jingyi looked deeply at Xu Ran. His Adam’s apple rolled a little before he spoke. His tone had long since returned to its usual cold tone. “An An. I’m sorry I drank too much last night.” Shangguan Jingyi said so.

Xu Ran lowered her head and shook it. She politely said, “Brother Yi, you’re too kind.” Xu Ran didn’t look at Jing Yi anymore as she turned and ran out of the bedroom.

Sure enough, everything from last night was just a short dream. After waking up from a dream, Guan Jingyi was still the same cold and emotionless Shangguan Jingyi. The ‘wife’ he had mentioned last night was probably referring to his sister Xu Xuexu.

“Heh, look. Xu Ran, you’re just overthinking things.” Xu Ran smiled sarcastically.

When Guan Yi came out, he was already wearing a proper suit and a grey woolen coat. Most importantly, he was pushing a silver grey suitcase.

“An An, there’s something I need to do abroad for a few days. I’ll be able to speak with grandpa. There are many things that I need you to take care of at home. ” Guan Jingyi’s words were polite, but there was no need for Xu Ran to think about family matters. Housekeeper Zhang had special servants and chefs for household chores and meals, so Xu Ran only needed to rummage through the books and sleep.

Xu Ran knew that Shangguan Jingyi was such a person, so she didn’t say anything more and just nodded her head, “Okay. Big Brother Yi, be careful outside. ”

The two of them returned to their initial courteous distance.

Xu Ran felt her heart clench.

Hearing the sound of the engine starting up, Xu Ran sat on the sofa in the living room without even knowing what she was thinking. She forcefully restrained herself from sneaking a peek through the French windows.

Xu Ran slapped her own face and said to herself, “Xu Ran, what else is there to be happy about? Isn’t this what you want all along? Respects and respect one another like this. We’ll part ways later, so don’t make things difficult.”

Little Ju, who was in charge of cleaning, came in carrying a huge vacuum cleaner. She didn’t expect Xu Ran to be there as well. She was shocked and said, “Madam, you’re here. Sorry. I didn’t know you weren’t working today.”

Xu Enron usually worked on Saturdays in the emergency room and had a Sunday off, so she thought the second floor would be empty after Jingyi left, so she came to clean the house.

Xu Ran smiled at Little Ju and said, “It’s alright. Go ahead and pack up.”

“Oh, ma’am, your book is in reverse!” Little Ju reminded her.

Xu Ran took a look and as expected, thanked Little Ju. Xu Ran put the book back in its place, but the words were as dense as insects and didn’t enter her eyes at all.

Xu Ran put down her book and rubbed her temples. She looked out of the window and saw the sun shining down on the trees outside.

“Where’s grandpa?” Anan asked. Since his grandfather’s arrival, Xu Ran had not been able to keep him company due to her busy work.

“Grandpa is downstairs, sitting on the lounge under the sun and chatting with Assistant Li.”

“Grandfather!” Xu Ran hugged her grandfather’s neck from behind and called out in a spoiled manner.

“Yo, our little An’an is here.” He then patted the bamboo chair beside the chair and said, “Little An An, you know how to talk to this old man. You don’t have to be like that stinking brat, Fourth Bro, who always goes out every few days.”

Xu Ran took up the blue and white porcelain teapot, filled the cup with tea, and offered it to her grandfather with both hands. Grandfather, Big Brother Yi is too busy. Before leaving, you must tell me to take good care of grandpa. ”

The old man’s eyes were naturally bright as he said pointedly, “Little An An, these words are not what the fourth elder’s piece of cold stone can say. Your grandfather knows the fourth elder better than anyone else. These words are more like yours!”

Xu Ran was also a mischievous person. “But that’s what Big Brother Yi is thinking. Even An Ran knows. It’s just that he doesn’t usually express anything that’s very warm.”

The old man nodded and smiled, “Then you’re right, Fourth Bro is great.” The people who interacted with him all felt that he was an unassuming and considerate and gentle person. No matter what he did, he always had a good grasp of the situation and knew how to handle everything. But once he had any hope for number four, you felt cheated. “Because Ol ‘Four seems to be good to everyone, but in fact, it’s not good to anyone. You’ll find out that he’s not sincere.”

The old man’s words were very clear, and Xu Ran was very clear on what he had just said.

“Child, don’t you feel like you’ve been cheated?” The old man asked.

Xu Ran shook her head, but the disappointment in her eyes had already betrayed her.

“Fourth Bro is scared, he doesn’t dare to care about anyone else. Look at him, he’s very strong, very powerful, but his heart is actually very weak. He wants to take care of and be loved more than anyone else, even if it’s someone he cares about. Because of the fear and worry in his heart, he will still keep his distance from that person. So, little An An, grandpa really hopes that you can take good care of him and love him. Grandfather can also see that Fourth Bro truly cares about you. ”

“Grandfather, actually …” “Guan Yuanyi loves others, but even if he has a little relationship with himself, it is because he is the younger sister of the person he loves.” Actually, I am just Brother Yi’s sense of responsibility and duty. Really, it has nothing to do with love. ”

If her grandfather hadn’t known that she liked him, he wouldn’t have forced her to marry him. Furthermore, she wouldn’t have had to be so in love with him yet had to endure the separation.

“An An, you’re still young and have yet to see through a lot of things. Grandpa Xin’s words, “Since you’re here, then you should at least rest in peace.” Since you’ve already married number four and are living together with him, the most important thing is that you like him, so what you should do now is to think about yourself. As for those who are not important, including your sister, you must put them aside. Do you understand grandfather’s words? ”

Xu Ran nodded. She understood her grandfather’s meaning, but Guan Jingyi was her sister’s man. Xu Ran couldn’t steal her sister’s man.

“Little An An, grandfather is tired. It’s a big weekend, so you should find a friend and go out for a walk. “There are a lot of things. Slowly, you will find out the answer.”

At that moment, Xu Ran received a call from Xiao Hui.

“An An, now you don’t come to the bar to dance, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. You’ve been busy lately, when are you free to come out and see me? ”

Xu Ran laughed. “If it was before, I wouldn’t have the time to go out with you even if I wanted to.”

Xiao Hui said, “Then I’m free today. I’m in the clock tower, near your favorite grapefruit chip ice. “Come over, I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ran informed her grandfather before going to the bedroom’s closet on the second floor to get her coat. Next to the coat was the official’s coat that Xu Ran had worn the night before.

His fingers unconsciously touched the collar of the clothes, causing Xu Ran to feel a little lost.
