Because it was almost noon, the two of them went downstairs to greet their grandpa. However, they found out from the steward that the old man had left with Uncle Fang early in the morning. As for where, the steward couldn't say for sure.

Xu Anran and Guan Jingyi looked at each other, then smiled. Forget it, as long as the old man was happy, they could go anywhere. Besides, with the uncle Fang always by his side, there was no need to worry too much about the old tutor's safety.

"We won't be back for lunch." Guan Jingyi explained to the butler.

Hearing that her grandfather was not around, Xu Anran secretly let go of Guan Jingyi's hand. Without an audience, the two of them would return to their respective lives.

Guan Jingyi noticed that his hands were empty and that he was currently explaining some things about the old man to the butler. However, he understood very clearly that the little girl had drawn a clear line between them, and looking at the petite figure that had already disappeared from beside him, the corner of Guan Jingyi's lips slightly curled up, showing a hint of bitterness.

Xu Anran lowered her head and walked slowly. It was still early, so it was only eleven o'clock in the morning anyway, and she had already left home at one in the afternoon. There was a bus stop not far away from her, and after taking two trips, they arrived at the emergency room.

It was unknown what Xu Anran was thinking. She was in a daze, unable to notice the Bentley that was following behind him.

Guan Jingyi drove the car, controlling the speed with his feet, he did not know what was going on with him, but he had patience for the little girl in front of him.

Only until an old granny who was holding a vegetable basket beside Xu Anran patted her shoulder and kindly reminded him: "Little girl, your boyfriend is driving behind you, following you around, okay? Did you guys start a fight? Young man, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be in such a hurry."

After listening to the old granny's words, Xu Anran still puzzledly turned her head around, and indeed saw that sturdy Bentley following right behind him. Through the spotless windscreen, Guan Jingyi's face, which was neither happy nor angry, was instantly reflected in Xu Anran's eyes.

Xu Anran felt her heart thump once.

How long had he been following her? Did he feel like he was having a stroke?

Guan Jingyi stopped the car, walked to Xu Anran and said while smiling: "Get on, let's go eat."

That relaxed appearance made Xu Anran feel that she was a little too petty.

"Why?" Xu Anran asked in confusion. Aren't they just playing on the spot? Since it's just playing on the spot, since their grandpa isn't here, is there a need for the two of them to eat together, or even go to the company together?

Guan Jingyi rubbed his stomach with a deliberately miserable expression on his face, and said: "Since Grandfather isn't here, we still have to eat. What, does your Brother Yi still need a reason to treat you to a meal? "

However, Xu Anran did not want to go, because of the words that he had just said to her, or because she wanted to restrain her feelings, Xu Anran thought that it would be better if they didn't interact each other as much as possible.

"Brother Yi, I still need to rush to the emergency room to work. I've already got my colleagues to help me buy food."

"No matter what you do, do not delay your meal. I'll send you to work later. Don't worry, I won't be late. " Guan Jingyi's tone was resolute, but before Xu Anran could express her stance, her wrist had already been pulled up by a pair of big hands.

"What do you like to eat? French or English, or Japanese or Korean, or what we eat, Chinese? " Guan Jingyi pulled on his seat belt and asked as he watched Xu Anran sitting quietly in the back row through the front mirror.

In the end, the two of them went to a Chinese restaurant. Guan Jingyi really liked the style, you could tell it just by looking at the materials and arrangement of his study.

A pot of green tea, the bamboo shoot in the south of the river had an exceptionally clear taste. The pineapple prawns were very tasty, and there was also Xu Anran's favorite dish, the sesame seed ball. Guan Jingyi didn't really use the chopsticks, but watched Xu Anran eat happily, so her gaze turned soft.

"An An, this is the first time I've seen you eating so happily." Guan Jingyi held up the heavy teapot with a blue and white porcelain face, and poured Xu Anran a cup of fragrant tea.

That was true. Ever since they met, they had only eaten together no more than five times. Including the few times they had eaten together, they had all pretended to eat together in front of everyone's eyes.

The two of them continued to eat, and this was the first time something bad had happened.

"Huh?" The sesame seed ball slid down Xu Anran's porcelain spoon and jumped into the thick white soup with a 'putong' sound.

It splashed all over Xu Anran's face.
