Sister Ling burst out laughing and teased, "How can that be? It's just a kid's joke. South Bridge, you can't let your thoughts run wild, much less eat your sister's and Little Yu's jealousy!"
The South Bridge laughed repeatedly. However, its eyes were focused on the nearby Yu Cen Ran. Through the transparency of the French windows, the South Bridge saw the back of Yu Cen Ran, looking somewhat lonely amidst the pure white snow.
Sister Ling's voice seemed to float over from the distant north. It was a bit empty, as if she was reminiscing the past, "The depression in your eyes is always so powerful, as if big things can be solved easily. But to me, he is still that child, the boy who would clench his fists and let off tears when I was sent away."
No matter how many years passed, nothing changed
Just a kid
Sister Ling's description didn't match with Yu Cen Ran's mature man's temperament. When Nan Qiao raised her eyes, even standing in the snow and wind, her tall and muscular body was enough to make one's heart ache.
South Bridge lowered his eyes, his gaze falling upon the hands placed between his knees. His hands were clasped there, and as he did so, he thought that the closer he got to Yu Cen Ran, the more his heart began to ache for him.
What I like is architectural design, but I want to run wild in the mall. I'm still a child in my sister's eyes, but I have to put up with the worldly wisdom and see through the deceit behind the flattery.
Nanqiao sighed. Perhaps, one could not withstand the cold at the peak. This was precisely the situation that Yu Cen Ran was in.
The tip of his cigarette was lit, emitting a scarlet glow. Yu Cen Ran, perhaps sensing the gaze behind her, suddenly threw the cigarette at her feet and stood on her tiptoes to extinguish the cigarette. She then turned around and walked in.
The cold wind blew outside, and Yu Cen Ran walked in with bursts of cold air. The cold air turned into tiny droplets of water as soon as it touched the warm air. The droplets adhered to the surface of her clothes.
Sister Ling sat to the side and joked that Cao Cao Cao had arrived. She then stood up and got a cup of tea for Yu Cen Ran, who took it and took a sip. Sister Ling said, "Will you be coming this winter's solstice, Xiao Yu?"
"Yes." It was a simple one word.
Sister Ling smiled and then held South Bridge's hand. She patted the bridge and said, "South Bridge, come with me. It's been a while since there's been any more commotion."
South Bridge nodded and obediently said, "Of course I'm here."
After Yu Cen Ran sat down, Sister Ling chatted for a while longer. She was probably talking about her husband's life after he left and how to get used to it. There were no complaints or grievances in her tone, only relief in her life.
Nanqiao and Yu Cen Ran sat by the side, listening. Sometimes, Yu Cen Ran would nod, and sometimes, her eyes would go blank as if she was distracted by something else. From time to time, she would glance down at her phone.
On the other side, Sister Ling was still talking happily when she turned to Yu Cen Ran and asked, "Is Winter Solstice coming home, Little Yu?"
Of course, Sister Ling was referring to the old house of the Yu Family. Nanqiao understood this in her heart and turned to look at Yu Cen Ran, curious about his answer.
Yu Cen Ran smiled faintly and said to the South Bridge, "Let's go."
Sister Ling was stunned for a moment before she stood up, agitated. "I've only been here for a short while. Little Yu, play a little longer. I feel like I'm on good terms with South Bridge!"
However, Yu Cen Ran's eyes narrowed as she looked at the South Bridge and said resolutely, "It's almost time. We can't stay here any longer. Did you forget that we are going to have to attend a banquet?"
South Bridge curled his lips. He thought, "I didn't promise to participate, but due to Yu Cen Ran's obscene influence, South Bridge decided to not speak for now. In any case, if she said she couldn't win against the other party, then so be it."
After saying goodbye to Sister Ling reluctantly, South Bridge followed Yu Cen Ran out of the coffee shop. With every step he took, he turned his head to look at the exquisite shop. Suddenly, he felt reluctant to part with Sister Ling.
A woman with a story would always make people want to get close to her. Yu Cen Ran had already opened the car door, and without any hesitation, she followed her with small steps and got into the car.
Yu Cen Ran closed the car door and took a detour to the other side. He sat in the driver's seat, turned on the ignition, and started the engine. The black Rolls-Royce quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
The road was very quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The South Bridge turned its head and saw Yu Cen Ran's cold and stiff figure. It thought for a moment before opening its red lips. "You and Sister Ling have a good relationship, right?"
Yu Cen Ran raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything. South Bridge continued, "You rarely bring me to meet anyone, including your master, Mr. Nangong. Sister Ling Ling is very important to you, right?"
Yu Cen Ran slightly frowned. With a sudden turn of her hand, the steering wheel and the wheel stopped on the side of the street. Yu Cen Ran placed both hands on the South Bridge while leaning down, her gaze locked onto South Bridge's face. "Are you jealous?"
Nanqiao laughed and gave Yu Cen Ran a casual look before pushing Yu Cen Ran further away. "How is that possible? Sister Ling is only your elder sister. Why would I want her?"
"I've had feelings for her." Yu Cen Ran's voice suddenly sounded, low and hoarse.
Yu Cen Ran paused for a moment before he placed his hand on the South Bridge. A light flashed across his eyes as he said uncertainly, "I liked my sister before I met you."
South Bridge stared blankly. After a long while, he nodded his head. "Oh … …"
Yu Cen Ran suddenly turned the South Bridge over and sneered lightly, "South Bridge, you're obviously jealous."
Hearing this, the South Bridge pushed his hand away. It was a bit forceful, a bit repulsive, and also a bit irritable in his heart.
Nanqiao was a little tired. He leaned his head against the back seat and didn't say anything. Yu Cen Ran also didn't say anything at the side. He focused on steering, and the car soon stopped in front of a modern building.
Just as the car stopped, a waiter walked out of the building. He wore a black tailcoat, and he was all smiles and respect, "Mr. Yu, please give me your key to stop the car."
Yu Cen Ran nodded. She took out the key and passed it to the waiter before walking out of the room. Yu Cen Ran was wearing a pair of grey tweed suit pants.
The man's face was cold and handsome. His shirt was casually rolled up, revealing a small arm and an expensive and delicate watch. A long black coat covered his broad shoulders. His long legs moved, and every movement he made exuded the temperament and aura of a mature man.
Yu Cen Ran was the center of attention wherever he went. When Nan Qiao looked out from her seat, she saw that Yu Cen Ran had attracted a lot of women's attention. Nan Qiao pursed her lips, feeling the fire burning in her stomach burn even more vigorously.
As the president of the Yu Group, Yu Cen Ran was undoubtedly the man that all women in A City dreamed of marrying. Nan Qiao curled her lips and suddenly felt aggrieved.
Yu Cen Ran was better than him in everything. As long as he moved his fingers, most of the women in the city would be willing to submit to this man.
People like him could easily like other women. For example, Sister Ling was a knowledgeable person, so why did she have to provoke her?
Thinking about this, South Bridge felt like there was a barrier in its heart. Yu Cen Ran walked over to open the door and held it in midair, but South Bridge didn't take it. Instead, he directly ignored Yu Cen Ran as he walked out of the car.
Yu Cen Ran raised his eyebrows as he cast a glance at South Bridge's retreating back. The corner of his mouth raised in a playful smile. Yu Cen Ran threw his sunglasses into the luxury car and also sped up his pace to enter the building.
On the other side, South Bridge clattered on red high heels, their heels clattering on the smooth marble floor.
In South Bridge's heart, he silently cursed Cen Ran. He was not careful, and his footsteps slanted. His ankle became unsteady, and he fell to one side with his entire body.
South Bridge couldn't help but scream, "Ah!"
Seeing the floor getting closer and closer to him, South Bridge looked at the floor in front of him, and closed his eyes in despair, preparing to have a close contact with Earth Mother. But at this moment, a pair of big hands suddenly grabbed onto her waist, and used a little strength to lift South Bridge up.
South Bridge lied in front of Yu Cen Ran's chest, her beautiful eyes tightly shut. The hand she held in front of her chest lightly pressed against her firm and sturdy chest, and South Bridge heard the man's mocking voice ring out above her head: "There's no need to be angry, even if you want to be angry, you can't be angry with the floor, right?"
Nanqiao suddenly opened his eyes. In front of him was an enlarged, handsome face. Nanqiao snorted and pushed Yu Cen Ran away. He stubbornly walked further in and was stopped by the staff at the entrance. "Young miss, I'm sorry. You cannot enter without an invitation."
South Bridge stared blankly for a moment, then stopped moving, thinking to himself, if you don't want to enter, then so be it. In any case, she didn't really want to come and attend these banquets, so since she wasn't allowed to, then she couldn't be blamed.
After making up his mind, South Bridge decided to retreat. However, just as he took two steps back, his back bumped into a sturdy hard rock. Object.
At some point, Yu Cen Ran had appeared behind her, and with her arm wrapped around his waist, she said naturally, "My wife, South Bridge."
When they saw Yu Cen Ran and looked towards the south bridge, their attitude changed drastically. They immediately put on a warm smile and welcomed him in, "Mr. Yu, Mrs. Yu, this way, please."
Nan Qiao was feeling depressed, but she felt too embarrassed to let go of Yu Cen Ran's hand in front of everyone, so she could only follow him to the inner hall.
