Chapter 30 - Children's Temples
Huo Ting grimaced in pain. He was no longer as graceful as he used to be. His eyes were wide open as he shouted at Yu Cen Ran, "South Bridge is my girlfriend! If it wasn't for you, Yu Cen Ran, we wouldn't have separated! "
"Is that so?"
Yu Cen Ran's voice was gloomy and his face was ashen. He was so dark that he could squeeze water out of his mouth. He raised his eyebrows and made a disdainful smile. His thin lips moved as he said, "In the end, you are still useless."
"What makes you say that!"
Huo Ting was thoroughly enraged. If it weren't for the fact that he was dragged along by someone else, he would have rushed forward and punched Yu Cen Ran to the ground!
At this moment, Zhou Yu Chen and the others rushed out as well. He and his friend were having a good time in the private room, and someone rushed out to inform him that Young Master Yu had fought with someone else.
When Zhou Yu Chen walked over, he happened to hear Huo Ting's words. Upon hearing Huo Ting's words, he retorted disdainfully, "Tell me how capable you are. If it wasn't for our Young Master Yu being lenient towards the Huo Group's previous bid, you wouldn't have been able to obtain that piece of barren land in the suburbs!"
When Huo Ting heard this, he didn't feel grateful. Instead, he became even more excited and said, "Yu Cen Ran, stop pretending to be a good person. If you didn't interfere halfway, would I even need to fight over that piece of land in the western suburbs?"
The two of them chatted for a while. Not only were they quarreling, they were also sparring. Nanqiao only felt her head hurt when she heard this. She did not know much about what had happened in the mall, nor did she know about those open and covert fights!
Pausing, he thought of something and Huo Ting's expression became even uglier. "And that woman, she was obviously your lover, yet she was ordered by you to frame me! "Yu Cen Ran, what good will you do?!"
Originally, everyone had a tacit understanding of the past and never brought it up again, but today, Huo Ting was bringing it up again in public. Yu Cen Ran glared at him. Even Nanqiao's face was deathly pale.
He pointed at Huo Ting's nose and was about to scold him, but Yu Cen Ran waved his hand and opened his mouth, his voice sounded like a cold winter in an icehouse. "I still haven't asked you why you met Gu Qiao and why you went to meet Xue Yuwei."
Did you have some ulterior motive, or did you have a bad one?
Yu Cen Ran didn't say this out loud, but the crowd understood what he meant and they all turned to look at Huo Ting. The latter knew he was in the wrong and hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.
Nanqiao had been watching this dispute. She had already completely seen Huo Ting's true nature. The image of that refined man collapsed in her heart in an instant.
"Enough, don't say anymore."
It was said that when women quarreled, it was like singing a play. The two men's quarrels were really not that exciting, and all of the conflicts would eventually be pointed at themselves.
South Bridge pursed her lips. In order to stop the two of them, she pulled at Yu Cen Ran's sleeve and no longer looked at Huo Ting. She heard Huo Ting's heart-wrenching cries behind her, but there was no more pity in her heart.
This farce exposed everyone's shortcomings.
South Bridge walked in front with one hand holding Yu Cen Ran's sleeve. He didn't say anything, and only after walking for a while did he let go of the South Bridge.
Nanqiao frowned and did not resist, allowing him to hold her hand. Turning her head, she saw that Yu Cen Ran was smiling like an idiot.
"What are you laughing at?" Glancing at Yu Cen Ran, he realized that Nan Qiao's tone wasn't very good.
However, Yu Cen Ran was in an extremely good mood. In his opinion, the reason why the South Bridge took him away from Huo Ting was because it took him, Yu Cen Ran, instead of Huo Ting.
The previous suspicions and jealousy that Huo Ting felt had turned into jokes of the past. They had turned into smoke and disappeared with the events of the past.
Thinking of this, Yu Cen Ran became even happier. She stretched out her hand and lovingly stroked the South Bridge's head. Her tone was exceptionally gentle as she said, "Are you still angry? Should we go out and relax?"
South Bridge thought that since he had no intention of continuing to play anyway, he might as well not return to the room. Thus, he nodded in agreement.
As the two walked, they arrived at the outer edge of the island. The south bridge held onto the fence as they gazed at the scenery in the distance. It was as if the world had been cut off from the world by this island.
"Does it look good?" Yu Cen Ran asked.
"Yes."
Nanqiao came back to her senses and thought about it carefully. This was the first time she and Yu Cen Ran spoke so calmly and peacefully. Although she was not used to it, it did not feel bad.
The atmosphere was just right, but South Bridge's stomach let out an untimely growl. Its face was slightly red, and South Bridge smiled embarrassedly. "I didn't eat much. I'm a little hungry."
Yu Cen Ran held onto South Bridge's hand and said, "It's fine, I'll take you to have supper."
When South Bridge turned around, Yu Cen Ran was somewhat puzzled. She asked where she was going, while South Bridge tilted her head and innocently said, "Aren't we going to eat supper?"
Yu Cen Ran smiled and shook her head with a mysterious look on her face.
A few minutes later, the South Bridge followed Yu Cen Ran to the lakeside. It seemed to be the place where they took the yacht during the day. When Yu Cen Ran arrived, he had already instructed the butler to go back first.
He respectfully greeted, "Mr. Yu."
Yu Cen Ran nodded. At this time, someone recognized the South Bridge and greeted it.
Yu Cen Ran got straight to the point. "Prepare a yacht for me, I'm going out."
"Yes."
After the security guards and staff had left, South Bridge came over and asked, "It's so late at night, where are we going? Isn't it dangerous to sail a yacht at night?"
However, Yu Cen Ran smiled calmly, "Don't worry, I know a tasty restaurant is at the back of the island. It will be fine."
The night wind was a little cold, and South Bridge was wearing very little. He could not help but hug his shoulders. Seeing this, Yu Cen Ran took off her coat and draped it over South Bridge. Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the small restaurant.
The South Bridge looked up. It was a very ordinary looking restaurant. It was only able to accommodate a few tables with the appearance of several tens of square meters. When South Bridge and Yu Cen Ran arrived, there were no more seats in the restaurant.
"Ah, it's Mr Yu!" Aunt Cha was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She came out to greet him with a warm smile.
"Good evening, Aunt Chan."
At this moment, Aunt Chan noticed the South Bridge beside Yu Cen Ran. She pointed at it and said, "This is …"
Just as Yu Cen Ran was about to answer, Nanqiao spoke first, "Hi Aunt, I'm his girlfriend. My name is Nanqiao."
"Oh, it's Miss South Bridge! "Sit down, what would you like to eat?"
As there were no other places inside, Aunt Chan had someone set up a table outside the small building and brought two wooden stools over. She sat down and looked around, and found that although the building was small, it looked very clean.
Aunt Chan bent over and smiled. "What do you two want to eat?"
Yu Cen Ran said, "Old habit? Give me a bowl of beef noodles, a small bowl, a big bowl for my girlfriend."
"Alright!"
Nanqiao sat on a stool and looked at Yu Cen Ran and Aunt Cha. The difference in her heart was huge, especially after seeing the luxury of a private island. She thought that a man like Yu Cen Ran would never come to such a small restaurant!
Unexpectedly …
Yu Cen Ran saw through the thoughts of the South Bridge. She wiped the chopsticks clean and passed it in front of the South Bridge, then got up and took two cups of water and placed them on the table, "This small restaurant is my grandmother's favorite place. She really likes the beef noodles here, the taste is pretty good."
Nanqiao nodded. He didn't expect that Yu Cen Ran would have such a grumpy grandmother. "Where is your grandmother now?"
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Yu Cen Ran paused for a moment and then said with a slight smile, "He passed away a few years ago."
Ah? Nan Qiao rubbed her nose, a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I caused you so much grief."
Yu Cen Ran didn't answer and the atmosphere turned cold once again. South Bridge looked up into the sky and saw a flock of crows flying over their heads. This feeling was really strange. She felt that tonight's Yu Cen Ran was very different!
Fortunately, Aunt Chan quickly prepared the supper, set the noodles on the table, and looked at the South Bridge. She smiled and said, "Miss South Bridge, you're so beautiful. You know, this is the first time Mr. Yu has brought a woman here!"
"Is that so?" Nanqiao glanced at Yu Cen Ran. The latter was a bit unnatural and said, "Alright, Aunty Cha, you can go back to your work!"
"Alright, alright, alright. I won't disturb you!" Aunt Chan was smiling as she walked.
Nanqiao was already starving. She looked down at the beef noodles in front of her. The minced beef sauce scattered on top of the noodles made her appetite go up. Without caring about Yu Cen Ran, she picked up her chopsticks and took a big gulp.
As soon as the noodles entered his mouth, it felt full of elasticity and energy. The South Bridge cried out in surprise, "Oh my god, it's so delicious!"
Yu Cen Ran sat to the side and watched as the South Bridge ate. An indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart as she fed the woman she loved. It seemed that feeding the woman was a form of pleasure.
With the delicious food in hand and the starry sky above his head, the South Bridge felt that it was already complete. At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the lake opposite, followed by fireworks blossoming above the lake, one after another, illuminating the mirror-like lake.
"Every year at this time, the people on the island put out fireworks. It's more like a holiday." Yu Cen Ran glanced at the fireworks and turned her head to look at the South Bridge's side profile. The flickering light didn't seem real either.
"So beautiful, just like a dream." Nanqiao looked at the fireworks in admiration, but the chopsticks in his hand calmly went towards the beef in Yu Cen Ran's bowl.
"What are you doing?"
When Yu Cen Ran realized that she was in time and grabbed her hand, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and smile when she was caught. Why does it feel like this Yu Cen Ran has a childish personality?
"If you want to eat so much, then I'll give it all to you." Yu Cen Ran pushed her bowl of noodles in front of the South Bridge.
