"Can't you say something?"

Seated in a high class dining room, Su Anran looked at the graceful man chewing his food and couldn't help but ask.

Thinking about Nan Yi who was still waiting for her, she became extremely anxious.

As if he hadn't heard her at all, Shen Geng didn't even raise his head to look at her.

"If you don't say it now, I'm leaving!" Su Anran was about to get up from her seat, but in the next second, a strong hand pushed her back to her original position.

"Eat."

"…"

This man really made her feel like her head was being roasted!

All of a sudden, she lost her temper, leaving behind endless helplessness.

She looked at the table full of tasty dishes. Normally, she would have been drooling in her heart. But now, she had no appetite at all.

The current Nan Yi, should still be anxiously waiting under the fierce sun right?

Su Anran began to regret why she did not bring her phone with him before she went downstairs.

"Um, Boss Shen, can you lend me your phone to make a call?" she asked tentatively.

The man was still as calm as ever, like a perfect sculpture, eating his own food and treating her as air.

Su Anran curled her lips, angrily picked up her chopsticks, and began stuffing meat into her mouth, as if borrowing on food to vent her dissatisfaction.

It would be a waste if he did not eat this kind of free and luxurious lunch!

Shen Geng glanced at Su Anran, who was about to attack the food in front of him, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly. A ray of light shot out from her shattered eyes, but it was unlike her usual sharp gaze, which was instead an unusual calm and gentleness, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Shen Geng ate very quickly, after carefully wiping his mouth, he strode towards the counter, giving some instructions to the waiter.

"Hey hey, where are you going? You still haven't talked about it! " Seeing that, Su Anran stood up and quickly caught up with him.

Seeing that tall and straight figure about to approach, the attendant beside her suddenly stopped her.

"Miss, here's your ice cube." The waiter smiled as he took a small bag of ice cubes.

Su Anran was a little confused, "Did we get it wrong? I didn't ask for ice? "

"Miss, that gentleman asked me to give it to you. He said that your face is injured and needs to be covered with ice." The waiter looked outside the shop.

Su Anran followed her gaze and looked over, but Shen Geng did not leave, he was only smoking outside.

The sunlight shone on her handsome and resolute face, shining on her fingers that were clearly defined on the joints. She couldn't help but be a little dazed from watching it.

"Thank you." She only regained her senses after a long time had passed. She took the ice bag and stuck it to An Ruoyun's blushing face.

"Miss, you really make people jealous. A boyfriend is so handsome and considerate. Where can we find such a boyfriend?" The waiter's eyes were filled with envy.

With a 'shua' sound, Su Anran's face couldn't help but turn red, and she quickly explained. "No, he isn't my boyfriend."

The waiter said nothing, only gave her a meaningful smile.

The stinging pain on her face eased up by quite a bit. Su Anran put down the ice bag and walked out.

"Get in!" His tone was not heavy, but it still carried the tone of an order.

"Where are you going this time?" Su Anran had just taken a step forward, when she retracted her leg.

If not, where would he take her?

Shen Geng did not speak, his indifferent gaze sweeping past her and reaching out to grab her, directly throwing her into the front passenger seat.

A series of actions were executed in one go.

Su Anran froze for a few seconds before realizing that the man was already starting the car.

For some inexplicable reason, she felt as if she had boarded a pirate ship.

"I said, look at the food, aren't you going to say something?"

she asked again, looking at the thousand-year-old face beside her as they sped back to the city.

Right now, the tides were on the tip of the iceberg and the rumors were flying everywhere. If it wasn't for him saying that he had something to do, she would have definitely walked fifty meters away from him.

Shen Geng opened his mouth slightly, and his eyebrows raised, as if he was mulling over something, and also thinking about what to say.

"Boss Shen, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, I'm worried." It was rare for him to look so hesitant and unsettled. In addition to being startled, Su Anran was even more curious.

"The gossip should be resolved in three days. Bear with it."

He spoke coldly, his usual air gone, his voice so gentle it seemed to comfort her.

"Puchi!" Su Anran could not hold back her laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Geng frowned, he had already been slapped on the face due to this scandal, how could she still laugh?

"I'm sorry, I really couldn't hold it back. I didn't think that Boss Shen went around in such a big circle just to talk about this, it's not like you normally do!"

"…"

Shen Geng's expression had obviously darkened by several degrees.

Sensing the change in pressure around his body, Su Anran realised that she said something wrong and quickly tried to fix it.

"No, I didn't mean to offend you. Because of the rumors, the pressure of public opinion and so on, I've already gotten used to it, because I know, I didn't do anything wrong, it's fair and square, why should I be afraid of others spreading rumors? On the contrary, Boss Shen, you should think about yourself more. With your status, even the tiniest movement could cause you to become a big shot … "

With the help of the Lin siblings and Nan Yi's concern, she knew that the rumors would eventually pass and things would get better.

If she knew that Shen Geng was the mastermind behind this storm, she would not have said it like this.

But now, not only did she not know of this, she had even replied Shen Geng with a relieved smile, simple and sincere.

For some reason, Shen Geng thought of the peach blossoms that had bloomed in the past three months.

Shen Geng's eyes dimmed, his expression still as calm as before, and not a single flaw could be found. "Three days, in three days I will settle this matter properly."

"Thank you!"

If Shen Geng could calm this disturbance, it would be beneficial to himself, but it would also be a form of protection for her.

She gave him a grateful look.

This woman was so stupid that she would help others count their money even if they sold her. He could not bear to see her in such a state.

However, this was the only method that could fool the stubborn old man.

The car finally stopped in front of the office.

Just as he imagined, under the blazing sun high up in the sky, Nan Yi narrowed his eyes against the sun, his brows tightly knitted as he anxiously made a phone call.

"Nan Yi, I'm really sorry, I had something to take care of so I went out and made you wait for so long!" Once she got out of the car, Su Anran hurried forward.

"An Ran, it's fine …"

The moment he saw Su Anran, a glint flashed across Nan Yi's eyes, and just as he was about to loosen his brows and loosen his grip on the "Chuan" word, his brows knitted even tighter when he saw the Porsche behind her.

That was Shen Geng's car, he recognized it.

Shen Geng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, clearly saw Nan Yi as well. He lightly raised his eyebrows, but did not intend to go forward to greet him.

"Nan Yi, wipe your sweat!" Seeing the thin layer of sweat on Nan Yi's forehead, Su Anran handed over a tissue.

"Thank you." Nan Yi received it and casually wiped it away.

Under the fierce sun, his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Ah, I accidentally stuck it on my forehead!" Su Anran instinctively reached out her hand, wanting to take off the tissue crumbs on his forehead.

Feeling the cool temperature from her fingers, Nan Yi smiled slightly, but it did not quell the anger in his chest.

Seeing Su Anran getting off Shen Geng's car, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart.

Shen Geng who was about to start the engine saw the scene in front of him and could not help but frown and stop his movements.

In the next second, Nan Yi started walking in the direction of the car, comparing notes outside the window.

"Open the window!"

Shen Geng still maintained his cold expression and ignored them.

Seeing that, Su Anran had a bad premonition.

"Nan Yi, Shen Geng did indeed have something to talk to me about. Sorry, I forgot to bring my phone, that's why I made you wait so long." As she spoke nervously, she could faintly feel that the smell of gunpowder between the two of them was a bit thick.

"An Ran, wait for me at the company first. Shen Geng and I have something to discuss."

Nan Yi said with gentleness in his eyes.

Shen Geng saw all of these, it was extremely dazzling.

Su Anran uneasily stood in place, although she did not know what conflict existed between them, she felt that she should not leave just like that.

"An Ran, I have something to discuss with Shen Geng, can you give me some time?" Nan Yi laughed again.

"Alright." Hearing him say this, she actually dared not disturb them, as if her scruples had become unnecessary. "Then I'll wait for you in the hall."

After Su Anran was left, Shen Geng opened the window.

"What is it?" He said with an expressionless face as he cast a cold glance at the opposite party.

Just this glance made the anger in Nan Yi's heart grow even stronger. He suppressed his temper and then said, "Move away from An Ran. She's currently in a difficult situation because of her lousy story with you. You actually came to look for her? You're not afraid of causing trouble, that's your problem, but An Ran can't continue to be affected by the rumors. This will harm her, do you understand? "

The anger that Nan Yi had been trying hard to suppress exploded in the end.
