Xu Anran slanted her head and stole a glance at Tan Qiuxu. A man who seemed calm and unruly was actually so narrow-minded.

Xu Anran smiled, and then said to the waiter at the front desk: "Hello, sorry to trouble you, the coffee that this gentleman just ordered is no longer wanted."

Tan Qiuxu tilted his head, his thick eyebrows knitted together, as his amber eyes stared at Xu Anran for a long time.

She could completely feel that Tan Qiuxu was filled with vigilance and suspicion, but Xu Anran intentionally ignored him. His face was extremely ugly, as if he owed money to everyone he met.

Only when the shop assistant placed two cups of wrapped coffee into Xu Anran's hands did Xu Anran take out one from the paper bag and give it to him.

"Director, I've already bought it for you. Please accept it. " Xu Anran said, with the gesture of an ancient lady bowing and greeting, she half knelt down, and offered a cup of coffee with both hands.

Tan Qiuxu's eyes twitched.

Her smile was very beautiful, very unlike the smile she gave when she was on the verge of collapse during the day. In the ancient text, there was a phrase that described a woman's beautiful demeanor. "A sweet smile, a beautiful gaze." He was roughly talking about the current Xu Anran.

Tan Qiuxu held his hands behind his back, at first, he was startled, but after coming back to his senses, he rolled his eyes at Xu Anran, then walked past her and left the coffee shop alone.

Xu Anran followed him out.

"Director, here's your coffee." Xu Anran ran in front of Tan Qiuxu again, blocking his way.

The road was wide, but this time Tan Qiuxu did not circle around her, but instead stood still.

He merely looked at Xu Anran from top to bottom without saying a word.

Xu Anran knew that he normally did not like talking, she was merely an intern and had only been here for a short two months. The words that this master, who was in charge of bringing her, had said to her in the past two months were words that Heaven had pity on few people, and the only time they talked the most was in the morning when the two of them yelled at each other without caring about their image.

Therefore, Xu Anran was not surprised that Tan Qiuxu was like this. However, on the main road, Xu Anran still felt it was strange when a man she wasn't very familiar with was staring at him.

"Director, I was in the wrong for what happened this morning. Your excellency has a lot of resources, don't blame me for it, alright?" Xu Anran stood up straight with a sincere face. Sometimes she was a little mischievous, and sometimes she would even talk a lot of nonsense, but when it came to serious issues that concerned principles, Xu Anran was very ethical and in regards to these issues, Xu Anran was also very serious and valued.

"Don't, don't say that. You're not wrong." Tan Qiuxu waved his hand and walked around Xu Anran. Only Xu Anran was left in a mess in the wind.

How could such a man be so narrow-minded? The words he had said in the day were not random words.

"Director!" She had thought that he definitely wouldn't want her as a disciple anymore. The heavens knew just how lucky she was to be accepted as a disciple by the best and most promising Director Tan in the entire academy when she had just graduated from school. Back then, Xu Anran had been extremely happy about this matter. This time, her mouth was wide open, and seeing Tan Qiuxu's current attitude, she was definitely not willing to take his disciple. Even if he didn't expel him under his own name, he definitely wouldn't be willing to give it to him.

As Xu Anran thought about this, her stomach abruptly spasmed in pain, and following that, cold sweat emerged from her forehead. She decided not to leave and instead squatted on the ground.

When Tan Qiuxu turned back, he saw Xu Anran squatting at the same place with a dejected look, like a defeated dog.

Xu Anran's heart moved when she saw a pair of black made leather shoes in front of him. Looking up, it was actually Guan Jingyi's innocent face.

Xu Anran did her best to blink and thought that it was just her imagination. Only when she saw the car belonging to him that was parked beside him, did Xu Anran be willing to believe her eyes.

If it were not for Guan Jingyi's bent waist and huge hands supporting his tottering body, Xu Anran believed that she would definitely have sat down on the ground. It wasn't because she was in pain, but because she was scared.

"You, why did you come!" Xu Anran's stomach was hurting so she did not have much confidence in talking. Hearing this, Guan Jingyi could hear a bit of tenderness in his tone.

"What's wrong?" Guan Jingyi's body was wrapped in a warm feeling, probably because he had just gotten out of the carriage. Seeing the fine beads of sweat that came out of Xu Anran's forehead and her slightly pale face, Guan Jingyi realized that something was wrong with her. Guan Jingyi bent down and helped Xu Anran up.
