"Hey, Brother Ran, why are you staring at me?" After Tao Ran's gaze hadn't left her left and right side, Ye Ningtian somewhat embarrassedly said.

"Nothing." Tao Ran indifferently replied as he retracted his gaze.

"Eldest Miss, where should we go next?" Tao Ran asked indifferently.

"I'm hungry," Ye Ning Tian pitifully said as she touched her belly.

"Then what do you want to eat?" Tao Ran had a helpless look on his face.

"Let's go eat pizza. It's on the top floor of the mall. It's delicious." Without another word, Ye Ning Tian dragged Tao Ran upstairs.

Poor Tao Ran was covered with shopping bags and was risking his life to accompany the prince.

The two of them went upstairs to the dining room and sat down at a table next to the window. "Brother Ran, their pasta is delicious too. Do you want to try it? There's also Tiramisu and steak …" Ye Ning Tian excitedly introduced.

"Eldest Miss, you sure know how to eat." "Tao Ran couldn't help but laugh. Your face is already very round, and you still want to eat like this? "

"Hey!" You can't just say that girls are fat. Do you know that this term hurts one's self-esteem! " Ye Ning Tian's face was full of dissatisfaction as she shouted.

"Ah, ah, ah, sorry! "Young miss." Tao Ran nodded his head as an apology to Ye Ning Tian.

"Yeah, that's more like it." Ye Ningtian nodded in satisfaction.

After the two of them had ordered their meal, they stopped talking and quietly looked outside the window.

It was rare that the noisy Ye Ning Tian suddenly quietened down. Tao Ran also enjoyed this moment of peace and quiet.

The woman he had the most contact with could be considered Tao Tian. However, Tao Tian was one of those quiet girls. The difference between him and Ye Ning Tian was like heaven and earth. This caused Tao Ran to find it difficult to adapt to this day.

Tao Ran looked out the window, casually enjoying the scenery below.

As he watched, Tao Ran couldn't help but frown. This figure who was running around downstairs was too similar to Lei Zichen. Tao Ran had been paying attention to the latest news; a rising star from the Jun Lin TV industry had come to S City to film the promotional video, and Shaodong had accompanied him throughout.

If that was the case, then Lei Zichen had indeed come.

Thinking of this, Tao Ran's brows furrowed even more.

"Brother Ran, what are you thinking?!" Seeing that Tao Ran's eyes weren't focused, Ye Ning Tian couldn't help waving her hand in front of him.

"Ah, nothing …" "I'll just take a casual look." Tao Ran hastily retracted his gaze, telling himself in his heart that he was overthinking it.

"Then hurry up and eat. We still have other programs." Ye Ning Tian raised his knife and fork as he busily stuffed all kinds of food into his mouth.

Ah!" What else is there to do!? " Tao Ran asked with a worried expression. Although Tao Ran had practiced martial arts since he was a child, shopping had definitely exceeded the limits of his physical strength. Especially with her strange clothes, he constantly made various comments that really made Tao Ran want to smash his head against a wall.

"What, Brother Ran, you don't want to go out with me?" Ye Ningtian asked somewhat dejectedly.

"No, just curious about what's going on in your head all day." Tao Ran hastily explained.

"Let's go to the beach." Ye Ningtian said with an excited face.

"Seaside?" Tao Ran widened his eyes. "But this isn't summer. It will be very cold." Tao Ran tried to find some excuse to shirk his responsibility.

"It doesn't matter." Ye Ningtian had a carefree look on her face. "I just bought ten scarves and three shawls. At most, I'll just wear them."

"Well, miss, you're really smart!" Tao Ran bitterly smiled as he said.

"That's right, that's right, so hurry up and eat!" Ye Ningtian kept urging.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the two of them drove to the seaside.

"Eldest Miss, why are you so free today? Do you want to go to the beach?" Tao Ran asked as he looked at the car.

"It's nothing. My childhood dream was to go to the beach with someone I like. " Ye Ning Tian's words were very light, and didn't seem like she was crazy at all.

Tao Ran didn't continue speaking as the car fell into silence. All this while, how could he not know about the friendship between the Eldest Young Miss and him. It was just that his identity was special, and he was afraid of harming Ye Ning Tian.

It could even be said that his heart had been completely occupied by someone from a long time ago to now.

"Brother Ran, don't you like playing with me?" After being silent for a long time, Ye Ningtian cautiously asked.

"No, I'd love to. You're so cute." Tao Ran replied with a smile, his eyes never leaving the road in front of him.

"It's true!" Ye Ning Tian's eyes opened wide, "You really think I'm cute!" Ye Ningtian's face was filled with joy. This was the first time she had heard Tao Ran praise herself. Naturally, she was filled with joy.

"You … Don't you find me annoying? " Sometimes, she felt that she spoke too much.

"No, it's great that you can be so carefree all day. I'm envious of you." Tao Ran's words were very pertinent. Indeed, these were the words in his heart.

Ye Ning Tian sweetly smiled and didn't continue speaking.

"Eldest Miss, we've arrived at the seaside." Tao Ran slowly turned the car around and the entire sea appeared before their eyes.

The autumn wind was chilly, and there were almost no signs of human life by the sea.

The two of them parked the car and slowly walked down.

It was the seaside before sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire seashore red. Waves were pounding against the shore.

The surface of the water was sparkling, and from time to time, a seagull would circle low as it flew by.

The two of them walked in a crooked manner, leaving a long trail of footprints behind them.

"Ah, how beautiful." Ye Ning Tian opened her arms to welcome the gentle sunlight and the sweetness of the sea.

Tao Ran furrowed his brows as he looked at the sea. He seemed to have an endless amount of worries on his mind.

"Brother Ran, are you unhappy?" Ye Ningtian softly asked.

"Every time I have something on my mind, I would come here and tell the sea. This sea knows a lot of my secrets." Ye Ning Tian spoke with a serious face. It was hard to imagine what kind of appearance she had when she treated a patient.

Tao Ran looked at Ye Ning Tian's adorable appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, very pretty." Tao Ran sighed, "However, when the sun sets later, it will only leave behind a pitch-black area."

"We can enjoy it to our heart's content while we have it." Ye Ning Tian's face was filled with ecstasy as he spun in a circle. However, he accidentally stumbled and almost fell to the ground …

"Be careful, Eldest Miss." Tao Ran hastily stretched out his hand to catch Ye Ning Tian. With a sudden burst of force, Ye Ning Tian fell into his embrace.

Time, space, even the setting sun had stopped at this moment.

Ye Ning Tian's face was so red from embarrassment that her breathing was slow by half a beat. She had imagined countless times how she would be close to Tao Ran. She didn't expect that it would happen so quickly.

Ever since the day she had first met him, her heart had faintly given her approval.

His robust figure, well-built figure, and even his slight frown made it seem as if there were endless things on his mind. These were all the reasons why Ye Ning Tian was moved.

Ye Ningtian was also a young miss of a rich family. Ever since she was young, she had seen all kinds of people. She felt that this so-called driver and security wasn't as simple as it seemed.

At this moment, sneaking into his Huailin, Ye Ningtian inadvertently smelled his scent. The faint aroma of tobacco intoxicated her to the point where she even slowly closed her eyes.

"Brother Ran." Ye Ningtian slightly squinted her eyes, unwilling to come out from this embrace for a long time.

"I like you." As Ye Ningtian spoke, he slowly raised his face, leaving a shallow mark on Tao Ran's cheek.

After that, she looked at him shyly, not daring to look at him.

Tao Ran was naturally frightened by Ye Ning Tian's bold move. He subconsciously touched his face and slowly let Ye Ning Tian out of his embrace.

"Eldest Miss, you have a body of gold. Why would you like someone like me?" Tao Ran asked with a serious expression.

"I don't know why." Ye Ning Tian gave a serious look as she replied, "I keep having the feeling that you're not simple. You must be hiding a shocking story behind your back."

"You really think so?" Tao Ran asked in surprise.

"Right." Ye Ningtian seriously nodded her head.

"Alright." Tao Ran sat on the beach as he watched the sun set. He slowly raised his eyes and said, "Then I'll tell you a story. After you finish listening to the story, you can decide whether or not you like me!" Tao Ran had a serious expression.

Ye Ning Tian nodded her head deeply as she sat down beside Tao Ran on the beach.

"There was a little boy. When he had memories, he was a little older than An An." Tao Ran gestured with his hand.

Ye Ning Tian looked at him with a smile as she nodded her head.

"When the little boy was only this old, his mother married him to someone else, and not long after, his stepfather died in a car accident." When the little boy was only this old, his mother married him to someone else, and not long after, his stepfather died in a car accident. After Tao Ran finished speaking, he paused for a moment before looking at Ye Ning Tian.

"You're the little boy, aren't you?" Ye Ning Tian raised her head and asked, "That girl should be your sister."

Tao Ran nodded and continued, "As a result, not long after his stepfather passed away, his mother disappeared. At that time, the little boy was still young and didn't have the ability to earn a living, so he took his sister to beg in the Rich District. Tao Ran's gaze was deep and profound, as if he had fallen into the memories of a difficult time.

"One day, an old man came to me. He was a famous philanthropist in that city, and seeing that the two children were lively and cute, he adopted them. From then on, the two of them went from beggars to young masters and young ladies."

"That's good. The two children will be able to live happily ever after." Ye Ning Tian said with a bit of gratification.

"Wrong. I had thought that it would be like that as well. However, it turns out that it is not the case." Tao Ran hurriedly said, "That old man is actually a schemer."
