Bai Ran was a little awkward and could only change the topic. “Sister Wan, don’t talk about me. It’s already noon. Order some food first, I bet you’re hungry.”

“Ran Ran, go ahead and order. Pick some of your favorites,” Hu Wan said as she handed the menu to Bai Ran.

In the end, Chen Chen caught it in midair.

“Let me order,” Chen Chen said.

After flipping through a few pages, Chen Chen skillfully pointed out a few dishes and handed them to the waiter.

This series of actions ruthlessly pierced Bai Ran’s heart.

Wasn’t he afraid that she would order dishes that Hu Wan didn’t like? He was really thinking for Hu Wan everywhere. In the end, Bai Ran was really a tool.

When the dishes were placed on the table, they were just as Bai Ran had expected.

However, in the blink of an eye, Bai Ran’s grievance and jealousy were suppressed again. Love had never been about someone having to reciprocate feelings unconditionally. Furthermore, Sister Hu Wan’s health was not good either. What was more important than dying of old age? She should understand.

With this in mind, Bai Ran’s heart relaxed a little. The three of them finished their meal harmoniously.

After leaving the hotel, Chen Chen wanted to leave with Hu Wan without even saying goodbye.

On the other hand, Hu Wan was full of smiles as she said goodbye to Bai Ran. When she finally saw Chen Chen’s car leave, Bai Ran finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The meal was indeed too aggrieved.

Bai Ran could clearly see Chen Chen’s anxiousness and concern for Hu Wan.

Chen Chen’s heart could only contain Hu Wan! Since they were divorced, she should give up!

While Bai Ran was in a daze by the roadside, Chen Chen went to a bar to look for a friend after separating from Hu Wan.

The moment he saw Chen Chen, his friend joked, “How was it? Did you give the divorce agreement to your delicate wife? She didn’t cry, throw a tantrum, or try to commit suicide, right?”

“You guys are looking down on Bai Ran too much,” Chen Chen said disdainfully. He turned and got the waiter to serve him a glass of wine.

“She was very calm. She did not ask or say anything and signed the papers decisively.” Chen Chen thought of how Bai Ran had done it in one go after getting the pen yesterday. For some reason, he felt a little angry.

“Bai Ran can still be so calm? She has indeed matured a lot after being away for two years,” one of his friends, Ye Lin, said with a smile.

“You make me want to see her, hahaha.” Ye Lin thought about it and mocked, “After all, we’re not the ones who divorced her. We can still be friends peacefully!”

“What are you thinking about? She needs to take care of her sickly mother now. Don’t provoke her.” Chen Chen casually pushed Ye Lin to the side.

“Aiyo, our Young Master Chen is anxious.” Ye Lin smiled. “You’re so protective of her. Why are you still getting a divorce?!”

“Don’t make fun of Young Master Chen. It’s not like you don’t know how much he likes Hu Wan!” another friend said, unable to stand it.

“I’m joking!” Ye Lin patted Chen Chen’s shoulder and suddenly said seriously, “But as a brother, I still have to ask you this. Are you really going to marry someone who’s about to pass away?”

“Maybe,” Chen Chen said hesitantly.

When he thought of Bai Ran’s polite and calm demeanor, he felt a little uncomfortable and suddenly gulped down the wine.

The little chat with his friend did not make Chen Chen happy. He quickly went out again and drove to the river. He stayed there until the evening and got up to return to his parents.

After all, it had been a long time since he went back.

Chen Chen entered the house and saw Bai Ran there, chatting and laughing with his mother.

That happy and relaxed look did not seem like the way she was with him at all. It included her mother and grandmother. They were so friendly as if they were looking at their own daughter.

No, they were closer to her than with their own daughter. He and his sister had not received such treatment yet!

Comparisons were odious!

Grandma had sharp eyes and saw Chen Chen first. She did not even raise her head and mocked, “Sigh, I thought that woman had seduced my grandson’s soul!”

“So there’s still some left! You still know to come back and visit us!” Chen Chen’s mother added.

“Exactly! We still have to thank that woman!” Grandma raised her head and did not even bother to look at him.

“Mom, Grandma, don’t speak like that. Hu Wan is not like what you say,” Chen Chen replied, trying his best to be calm.

“You’re still speaking up for that woman! How are we being sarcastic?!” Grandma turned around and could not help but raise her decibel level.

“That’s right. You’re so protective of her. Are you really going to marry that woman who will die one day as the media said?!” Chen Chen’s mother was also anxious.

“Mom, Grandma…” Chen Chen was about to say something when he was interrupted again.

“I’m telling you, our Chen family will never accept this! We already have a good wife!” Chen Chen’s mother said sternly..
