The atmosphere was heavy, as if they were at loggerheads.

Although Shao Ran looked strong on the surface, only she knew what her heart was panicking about. Her legs that were hidden under the table were trembling.

"Shao Ran, you ?"

"What are you all doing? You made such a loud sound."

A young and tender voice suddenly sounded out from the side, interrupting Ji Jingbai's words, "I was so shocked just now."

Seeing Shao An walking over, Shao Ran immediately stood up and picked him up, gently patting his back, coaxing him gently: "I'm sorry An An, your mother and uncle's conversation just now was a bit too exciting, it scared you, I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, Mom." Shao An leaned on the side of her neck and rubbed it a little, looking like a little beast acting coquettishly.

Seeing Shao An walking over, Ji Jingbai did not want his cold expression to scare him, so he restrained his anger. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said with a smile: "An An, sorry, I scared you just now."

Shao An looked at him, gently shook his head, then laid on Shao Ran's shoulder, looking very obedient.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'll be leaving first. You guys rest well and be careful."

Ji Jingbai turned around and walked outside. When he reached the door and thought about it, he stopped and turned, looked at Shao Ran, and said seriously: "Shao Ran, I hope that you can think carefully about the things that I have said. After all, you are not only a single person. Shao Ran, I remember that you don't have such a selfish personality. "

With that, he turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out with steady steps.

Shao Ran looked at the empty Profound Entrance and bit her lips. Under the light of the lamp, her expression became gloomy and unreadable.

"Mom ?"

Shao An suddenly called out to her softly, drawing her attention.

"What's wrong, An An? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Nope." Shaking his head, Shao An hugged her neck, his voice sweet, "It's just that I don't seem to be happy looking at mom, but An An wants mom to be happier. Mom, look at me."

Then, he revealed a big smile towards Shao Ran. With his pure and flawless expression, she looked extremely cute, so cute that it made people's hearts ache for him.

Seeing his smile, Shao Ran felt that the sour feeling in his eyes became even more intense.

Gritting her teeth, she endured the sour feeling and said with a smile, "An An's smile is really beautiful, mother is especially happy when she sees it." "Well, baby, we'll go to sleep when Mommy's done packing, okay?"

"Alright!" Shao An's reply was exceptionally straightforward, causing Shao Ran to feel more at ease when she heard it.

No matter how difficult life was, she had to persevere for Shao An's sake.

Ji Jingbai... They absolutely could not involve themselves with him. Otherwise, Lan Ruijin would definitely not let them go.

Anthea had suffered enough. He could not be harmed in any way!

After Ji Jingbai left the house, he did not immediately leave. Instead, he returned to the car and calmly looked at the window.

After an unknown amount of time, that lamp went out, and he also started the car, disappearing into the night.

Shao Ran did not know that there was someone silently waiting for her at a place she could not see.

Her new job had gone smoothly. It was mainly because she didn't have much work to do, so her days were very leisurely.

The surrounding colleagues gradually got used to her different treatment, and saw that she was not arrogant because her treatment was different from others.

Once, a colleague of her could not busy herself with work, so Shao Ran took the initiative to offer her help, and even completed it very well, receiving her gratitude.

With so many similar things piled up together, everyone's impression of her had greatly improved. She wasn't as hostile as they were at the start. Sometimes, when they met, they would even greet her.

Of course, this was all thanks to Shao An. Although he was young, he was still cute and had good listening skills.

After a month's peace, Shao Ran received her salary. Looking at the additional numbers on the card, she thought for a moment, then took out her cell phone. She wanted to call Lin Shen, but after thinking about it, she didn't know if he was busy right now, so she sent a message to him on WeChat.

"Are you busy now?"

Not long after the message was sent, Lin Shen called: "Hello, Shao Ran, what's wrong?"

"Did I disturb you?" Shao Ran asked carefully, afraid that she would not have the heart to delay his work.

Lin Shen naturally knew of her concerns, and said smilingly: "Of course not, if not, I wouldn't have called back so quickly."

Actually, I have nothing else to do, it's just that today is the first month that I'm paying. I think, I wonder if you would like me to treat you to a meal? "

Hearing that she wanted to treat him to a meal, Lin Shen nodded his head and agreed without hesitation: "That's great. With a chance to eat, how could I miss it.

"Then, what do you want to eat? I'll go call the locator first," Shao Ran said while beaming. "Anything is fine, as long as it's something you like."

"If it's something I like ?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Shen suddenly said: "Then, I still want to eat the dishes that you personally made, is that okay?"

Hearing this request, Shao Ran did not react in time and asked blankly: "What did you say?"

Lin Shen patiently said his request once more, and then said with some apprehension: "Of course I'm only saying that casually, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. It's just that I feel that the food outside is too expensive and unclean. It's fine if we eat it, but it's better for An An to pay more attention to it. "

Hearing him say that the things outside were expensive, the first thought that came to Shao Ran's mind was that this guy was definitely teasing him.

But then, she thought about it and understood Lin Shen's meaning. She was afraid that since she was going to spend money, she might not be able to say it out loud, so she chose to use a more neutral method.

Pursing his lips into a smile, he said somewhat mischievously: "Since you're thinking of a way to save money for me, of course I don't have any reason to reject you. But let me state it in advance, my cooking skills have still not improved in the slightest."
