Chapter 6, Ambiguous Circulation

Ye Ran is a fairly attractive single young woman. If she had been rather straightforward before, then now that Jiang Hao is showing such obvious behavior, she naturally begins to wonder if Jiang Hao has feelings for her

Yeran smiled formally and retorted, "What is your cousin's level of education? What are her plans?"

"Yaran, you are very good, very strong!" Jiang Hao struggled for a while before finally expressing this resentful summary! What does it mean to spend money to buy suffering? His current situation is exactly that! Moreover, women are indeed petty; the few words he just said were returned to him unchanged.

Jiang Hao got up, his expression pale, "It's nothing!"

"Ranran, what’s wrong? Did you run into someone you know?" Jiang Hao, initially keeping a safe distance upon seeing his blind date with Ye Ran, quickly jumped in to ease the atmosphere as he sensed something was off.

"Yeran, what is it that you made me drink?" Jiang Hao questioned through gritted teeth

After Jiang Hao finished speaking, Ye Ran followed the direction of his finger and saw several newlyweds in wedding dresses posing in various ways under the guidance of the photographer. Looking at the radiant smiles on their faces, she felt a momentary daze, wondering if she and Chen Mingxuan had not separated, would they also be taking wedding photos in such a beautiful place

Jiang Hao looked at Ye Ran, who was biting her lip tightly and staring at the petals in a daze, wanting to say something but hesitating. The ethereal and elusive world in Ye Ran's eyes was one he could not enter, nor did he have the courage to step into.

Jiang Hao wore a playful smile at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Ye Ran for a while before exclaiming, "Ye Ran, you truly deserve my utmost admiration. Just now, that Mr. Ling was so infuriated by you that his face turned green.

Cough, cough, cough... With a handful of tears and a handful of snot, she gasped for breath, her deep black eyes scanning Ye Ran without any courtesy, her sorrowful expression as if Ye Ran had murdered her husband.

Indeed, he was a previous match of mine. Yaran sweetly smiled at Jiang Hao, affectionately linking her arm with his as they approached Ling Shan. With a charming smile, she said: "Mr. Ling Shan, this is my friend. I also think he is more handsome than you, wealthier than you, and more considerate than you; in short, he is better than you in every way."

"It was just the last time that I was greatly shocked at the Old Three Teahouse." Ye Ran, filled with indignation, vented to Jiang Hao about Zhu Wen and his extraordinary mother, leaving Jiang Hao utterly horrified. He asked several times, uncertain, "Really? Is there really such a blind date and such a difficult mother-in-law?" After receiving Ye Ran's affirmative response, Jiang Hao sympathetically said, "Ye Ran, I feel that your blind date today is quite mysterious"

It seems unnecessary to go, Nightran said awkwardly

"How can you say that? At the very least, let me be a workshop director! You are a manager, and you can't even handle such a small matter? You really are wasting your position!" Xiao Qi cast a dissatisfied glance at Ye Ran.

On Ye Ran's face hung the word "innocent" as she blinked her bright starry eyes at Jiang Hao and replied softly, "It's just sweet and sour water"

"You have no idea how twisted he is!" Ye Ran shot a glare at Jiang Hao and continued, "During our blind date, we ended up arguing, and he actually said he would send me a lawyer's letter, accusing me of wasting his time and seeking compensation for emotional distress."

Of course, it is impossible! Ye Ran shook her head without hesitation; asking her to hop all the way home, she is not a rabbit!

"You are truly cunning, evading the issue." Ye Ran accused Jiang Hao of passing the buck to her, while deep down she felt a bit vain. She wanted to know if Jiang Hao truly had feelings for her. Perhaps more than that, she sought to affirm whether her intuition was indeed accurate.

"So you mean you want me to hug you?" Jiang Hao raised his elegantly arched eyebrows and continued to ask with a smile.

What was in the content, Ye Ran completely could not remember, only filled with thoughts about whether to break through this layer of gauze. Should she pretend to be ignorant in front of Jiang Hao, or simply ask for the truth? If she pretends to be ignorant, she can maintain the facade and continue to be friends. However, Ye Ran is the kind of person who cannot hold things in psychologically; if she does not clarify things, she will feel anxious in her heart.

Upon hearing about the cherry blossoms blooming all over the mountains, Ye Ran became interested and, disregarding the fact that Jiang Hao had disturbed her peaceful dreams, cheerfully replied: "Alright, I will get up right now. Let's go see the cherry blossoms"

Ye Ran replied perfunctorily, "Yes!"

I am a man and I have no interest in such gossip about matchmaking with you

Jiang Hao, with a grin on his face, teased, "Could it be that you want to hop home with your feet up? I have no objections, as long as you don't mind being the center of attention"

The next morning, the phone call from his mother woke the soundly sleeping Ye Ran. It turned out that that aunt was still persistent and had brought a white horse for Ye Ran to identify whether it was a prince. As a result, he was arranged for a blind date that evening, and due to his mother's authority, Ye Ran did not dare to refuse.

"Is that so? Are you cursing him like this?" Jiang Hao said with a smile, shaking his head: "The most venomous of hearts belong to women."

Of course not. Ye Ran chuckled, then continued to banter with Jiang Hao, engaging in lively conversation and laughter as they arrived at "Shangshan Village." The vehicle followed the winding mountain road, climbing steadily upward, with lush, verdant trees on both sides, basking in the sunlight, bringing a refreshing sense of comfort.

Yeran, what do you think of me? I am about to graduate from school... Can you arrange a job for me? I am a master's degree holder. Xiao Qi rubbed his hands together and asked earnestly.

"Then why are you asking such an unsafe question?" Jiang Hao said, shrugging his shoulders with a hint of complaint

"My skin is as thick as the Great Wall? I had no idea." Jiang Hao lowered his brows and appeared shy.

"Jiang Hao, are you alright?" Ye Ran clumsily got up using both hands and feet, casually asking Jiang Hao.

Hmm. I don't know either. Jiang Hao turned his face and looked ahead while driving

Jiang Hao was momentarily taken aback, then turned his face and smiled at Ye Ran, asking in return: "So do you like me?"

Ye Ran dragged Jiang Hao directly towards the place where they had just gotten off the car, moving away from the distance visible to Ling Shan. Ye Ran released him, took a deep breath, patted his own chest, and reassured himself: "Stay calm"

Perhaps happiness comes too suddenly, causing one to doubt its authenticity. At this moment, Ye Ran would rather believe that she and Jiang Hao are good friends than to think of anything else, fearing that she might not be able to bear the consequences of disappointment

"Having a green face is minor; it is a serious matter when his wife puts a green hat on him," said Ye Ran angrily

Ah! As Ye Ran just stood up straight, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle, causing him to involuntarily grab onto Jiang Hao to maintain his balance

With hope in her heart, Ye Ran waited eagerly, her spirit soaring all the way. Upon disembarking, she was greeted by vast expanses of cherry blossoms, leaving her in a state of joy that was beyond description. She rushed directly to the nearest cherry tree, embraced it, and exclaimed foolishly: "Haha... how beautiful, how beautiful!"

Those mythical steeds, the thousand-mile horse and the white horse, can all go to hell; being single can also allow one to enjoy such relaxed and carefree dates, and being single can also bring about an indescribable joy.

Seeing his arrogant expression just now made me quite displeased. Ye Ran took a moment to calm down and continued, "He actually complained about my age, saying that I am not gentle enough, not virtuous enough, and not good enough."

Ye Ran was momentarily taken aback, then forced a smile, saying, "Did you wait specifically for me? I am truly touched. Let's go, I will treat you to dinner."

Jiang Hao casually glanced at Ye Ran, waved to the waiter to settle the bill, and then turned to Ye Ran and said: "I am treating you to a lavish meal to lift your spirits, so tell me about your blind date."

It seems that apart from Chen Mingxuan, no other man has ever existed in Ye Ran's concept; she has never considered that she might like another man, and has never approached the issue from this perspective. Perhaps, all these years, she has been living in her own world

Jiang Hao emerged immediately, asking, "What is it, does Bo Le want to find a Qianli Horse?" Before Ye Ran could respond, he uncertainly added another question, "It wouldn't be for a blind date, would it?"

"Alright, let's leave it at that." Ye Ran didn't even want to argue in defense, "Brother, whose sincerity is truly lacking here? Are you here for a blind date, or are you looking for a backdoor to get a job?"

"Ah? We don't need to go to the hospital?" Ye Ran opened her starry eyes and looked at Jiang Hao.

Having eaten and drunk to satisfaction, it is time to go home, wash up, and sleep! Ye Ran wiped the red oil from his mouth with a tissue, rubbing his round belly with one hand, feeling content.

Who doesn't know how to form a compound sentence? Comparing the actual objects, it’s infuriating! Ye Ran secretly delighted in watching Ling Shan's face darken in an instant. With a triumphant flick of her hand, she said, "May we both find happiness, goodbye." She then left Ling Shan, who was seething with anger, behind, as she had no intention of waiting for Ling Shan's lawyer's notice.

After work, Ye Ran arrived punctually at her great-aunt's famous Lao San Teahouse, where she met her blind date, Xiao Qi. Ye Ran discreetly stole a few glances at his true appearance; he was quite fair-skinned, but his face was somewhat oily, his nose slightly flat, and while his eyes were passable on their own, when combined with his overall makeup, they appeared somewhat lifted, giving off an uncomfortable impression.

Ling Shan keenly spotted Ye Ran, lowered his head to exchange a few words with his wife, greeted the photographer, and then hurriedly ran towards Ye Ran, the large red ball flower on his chest bobbing up and down.

Jiang Hao looked conflicted as he watched Ye Ran, who was smiling while hiding a knife, serve him several pieces of vegetables floating in spicy oil. He learned to be prudent and refrained from using his chopsticks, instead picking up a smaller piece of crab meat that was not so visibly spicy in color.

Ye Ran turned her face, smiling charmingly, and innocently asked, "Do I?" In the past, when she was in a bad mood, she would invite Mei Yang or Mi Na to come over to enjoy spicy crabs together, as sweating profusely would make her feel much better

"You don't know? Then would you like to know?" Ye Ran tilted her chin slightly, nodding and smiling as she asked Jiang Hao

My name is Xiao Qi, and I am pleased to meet you

"Can you explain to me what sweet and sour water is?" Jiang Hao ground his teeth, clearly on the edge of losing his temper

Jiang Hao's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Ye Ran, who had already stood up. In a very gentlemanly manner, he took Ye Ran's bag and said lightly: "I do have a bit of interest in you. As for you, it would have been enough to know quietly; why must you make me spell it out? It puts me in such an awkward position!"

My cousin has graduated from high school and is quite beautiful. Xiao Qi took a photo out of his wallet and said straightforwardly: "Look, could you arrange for her to be a secretary next to the boss or something?"

Sweet and sour water, as the name suggests, is a combination of sugar and vinegar, you are so silly! Ye Ran blinked her innocent big eyes, continuing to act cute and pure

Jiang Hao was about to reply with a refusal, but suddenly came to his senses. If he said no, wouldn't that be shameless? So he decided to say yes and see how Ye Ran would explain it

Ye Ran thought that Jiang Hao seemed to have some feelings for her, which made her inexplicably nervous, though more so it was a contradiction that she herself could not clarify. She had previously complained about why her blind date candidates were not as normal as Jiang Hao, but when it came to truly considering Jiang Hao as a blind date candidate or a boyfriend, she felt that something was not quite right.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Hao was clearly at a loss for words! The most venomous of hearts belong to women, referring to individuals like Ye Ran.

Ye Ran calmly gestured with his fingers near his lips and whispered, "I say, it's enough for you to know secretly, just don't say it out loud, it would make me so embarrassed!"

"Given your current demeanor, it is quite difficult to associate you with gentleness and virtue," Jiang Hao said candidly, looking at Ye Ran, who was gesticulating in indignation.

"You have! You must be doing it on purpose!" Jiang Hao blinked his eyes, accusing Ye Ran with a pitiful look.

Jiang Hao rolled his eyes in silence and glanced at the ceiling, realizing that there is no point in reasoning with women, as they simply do not appreciate logic.

Auntie whispered to Ye Ran beside her, "He is a master's degree holder"

Auntie looked at Xiao Qi and Ye Ran, and began to chat with them, saying with a smile, "I will go get you something to eat, you two take your time to chat."

Nightran, filled with resentment, gritted his teeth. Damn, he was truly hurt by this series of parallel sentences from Ling Shan.

"Yeran, why do I feel like I've seen that person before?" Jiang Hao furrowed his brows and seriously pointed at the groom dressed in a bright red wedding robe. After thinking for a moment, he finally remembered that he seemed to be one of Yeran's suitors.

Ye Ran bit her lip, reluctantly leaning against Jiang Hao's back, reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck, her cheeks burning hot. In all her years, apart from her father, no other man had ever carried her. It felt strange.

Yeran's formulaic smile froze on her face, as she felt there was something fishy about the conversation! What does it mean to be exceptionally beautiful? However, Yeran still patiently replied, "I'm sorry, but our company requires that secretaries be graduates from professional colleges; it has nothing to do with appearance! Your cousin does not meet the educational requirements, so I cannot help."

Ye Ran said with a playful smile: "Sister has many stories about blind dates, you know. If you don't listen, it would be such a pity."

Before I tell you, let me ask you a question!" Ye Ran's expression rarely turned serious as she looked into Jiang Hao's dark eyes

It was another weekend, and early in the morning, Jiang Hao called Ye Ran to say that he knew of a particularly beautiful place, where cherry blossoms covered the mountains and fields, and asked her if she was interested in seeing it

Why? How could you look down on me! Xiao Qi was furious and slammed his fist on the table

I did not expect the scenery here to be so beautiful. Ye Ran opened the car window, took a deep breath, and exclaimed: The air is so fresh

The vague figure of Chen Mingxuan emerged in her mind, and for a moment, Ye Ran's expression darkened. She did not know when it had begun, but she had gradually started to forget his appearance. That face, once so dearly loved without reservation, was slowly becoming blurred with the passage of time. Would there come a day when she could suddenly no longer remember such a person? The thought of never being able to recall Chen Mingxuan, of never being able to remember that vibrant youth, made Ye Ran's heart feel constricted and anxious. She had to remember, to remember fiercely, that she had loved Chen Mingxuan so deeply, yet it was fading away with time. Would there come a day when she could suddenly no longer remember such a person? The thought of never being able to recall Chen Mingxuan, of never being able to remember that vibrant youth, made Ye Ran's heart feel constricted and anxious. She had to remember, to remember fiercely, that she had loved Chen Mingxuan so deeply, only to be discarded without warning. Love was an unreliable thing; she would never believe in men again, nor would she allow herself to fall in love so easily.

"Yeran, to be honest, I am not very satisfied with you," Xiao Qi said with a serious expression

"Jiang Hao, how did you discover this place?" Walking among the falling cherry blossoms, feeling the gentle touch of the warm breeze on my face, occasionally mixed with pink petals, Ye Ran felt truly joyful, comfortable, and content.

Ye Ran turned her face and followed the direction of Jiang Hao's indication. It was indeed an acquaintance!

"Alright, I will wait downstairs." Jiang Hao said with a smile as he hung up the phone

Ye Ran, I am not criticizing you, but at your age, you are still being so picky. Who would dare to want you in the future?" Ling Shan said earnestly to Ye Ran, "Back then, you even looked down on me. Look, my wife now is younger than you, more beautiful than you, and much more gentle and virtuous than you.

It is not just mysterious; I feel that my great-aunt could at least find me a horse that is not sickly, let alone a steed of a thousand miles. Ye Ran holds no hope at all, to avoid disappointment later.

"What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and come up!" Jiang Hao urged impatiently.

On the day Ye Ran encountered Jiang Hao, she met her blind date, the extravagant Mr. Ling Shan, who had threatened to send her a lawyer's letter after their unsuccessful match. After more than two months without seeing him, his appearance had not changed at all; he was still short, bald, with a big belly and a squashed mushroom haircut. However, he looked like that, and one could not expect any change. But could his taste not be so uniquely peculiar? Dressed in a bright red wedding robe and a traditional long gown, it was truly difficult to describe the oddity of his appearance, especially with his belly that seemed to resemble one carrying a pregnancy of four to five months. After more than two months without seeing him, his appearance had not changed at all; he was still short, bald, with a big belly and a squashed mushroom haircut. However, he looked like that, and one could not expect any change. But could his taste not be so uniquely peculiar? Dressed in a bright red wedding robe and a traditional long gown, it was truly difficult to describe the oddity of his appearance, especially with his belly that seemed to resemble one carrying a pregnancy of four to five months. Beside him stood a petite woman, who, despite her makeup, appeared quite cute, though she looked rather young. Standing together, they were dressed in formal attire, taking what was called a wedding photo. If they were to change out of that formal wear into casual clothes, it would likely resemble a father-daughter photo.

Indeed, Jiang Hao admitted with a serious demeanor

The kind of beautiful scenes seen in movies truly exist in reality

Yesterday, I heard from a friend at a photography studio. Jiang Hao reached out to pick a few pink cherry blossoms and said with an ordinary expression: "During this season, many people come here to take wedding photos. Look, over there.

Ye Ran slightly frowned; Jiang Hao's appearance here is certainly not a coincidence. However, as a friend, what does his enthusiastic visit mean? Especially since he came uninvited? It is truly perplexing.

She replied weakly, "Yes."

"What do you want to compensate for?" Jiang Hao raised his chin and asked

When words do not resonate, even a half-sentence is too much. Ye Ran's forehead and temples throbbed a few times; he shifted his mouth slightly and wisely chose to remain silent, no longer speaking

Jiang Hao blinked his dark eyes and nodded: "Alright, go ahead and ask!"

There is a grave in my heart, burying the widow! Night quietly buries Chen Mingxuan in my heart, honoring the past she has lost

Ye Ran paused, turned around, smiled in response, and politely said: "Hello, Mr. Ling Shan"

Jiang Hao's expression clearly stiffened for a moment as he suggested, "Could we perhaps have something else to eat?"

Jiang Hao bent down, half-squatting in front of Ye Ran, patted his back, and invited, "Come up, I will take you home"

Ye Ran stared blankly at Jiang Hao, contemplating whether he liked her or not, but she never expected him to respond with a question. Thus, she nodded and then shook her head, uncertainly saying: "I don't know"

It was only then that Ye Ran remembered that Jiang Hao seemed to be unable to eat spicy food. Initially, the desire to eat spicy crab was not that strong, but now it turned into a mischievous smile, "I must eat it!"

Forget it, then I won't listen anymore!" Upon hearing Ye Ran's words, Jiang Hao immediately backed down without hesitation

What harm is there in listening again

Upon hearing this authentic remark from Ye Ran, she rolled her eyes at Jiang Hao in exasperation, "Ah? You can still feel embarrassed? Your thick skin could rival the Great Wall."

Ye Ran quickly tidied herself up and cheerfully went downstairs. As she walked over, she saw Jiang Hao's car already turned around, waiting for her. The corners of Ye Ran's mouth naturally lifted into a smile as she saw Jiang Hao lean out and greet her with a smile, saying, "Hurry up and get in the car." Ever since that night when he asked her if she liked him, they had developed such a tacit understanding; there was no longer a need to ask if they liked each other. Instead, they simply made do with each other, and as long as they were happy, that was enough.

"What is wrong with you?" Jiang Hao asked with concern as he casually supported Ye Ran.

Then you must put in more effort. Ling Shan said seriously to Ye Ran: You see, I am about to get married.

"Are you deliberately messing with me?" Jiang Hao's expression had shifted from frantic to a resentful accusation

"Please take me out for a feast." Ye Ran reached out to catch a few pink cherry blossom petals, blew them away, and continued, "I want to eat heartily to cool off."

Spicy crab! Ye Ran thought without hesitation that it must be said

Jiang Hao looked at the corners of Ye Ran's eyes, which began to glisten with tears, and finally could not help but reach out to wipe away the moisture from her eyes

This minor sprain can be treated with a plaster; just straighten it out! Is it really necessary to go to the hospital?" Jiang Hao replied without even looking up.

It seems I have twisted my ankle! Ye Ran grimaced in pain and let out a few cries.

"Don't say you have a master's degree; you have a doctor's degree, and our company doesn't hire either!" Ye Ran's face was filled with frustration, her brows furrowed tightly. What on earth is this all about? She struggled to suppress her urge to explode.

"Isn't that too much? Are you also going to strike me?" Ye Ran glared at Jiang Hao in dissatisfaction and said, "You have hurt my tender heart. I demand compensation from you."

Ye Ran regained her composure, smiled gratefully at Jiang Hao, lifted her face, and gazed at the sea of pink cherry blossoms. She subtly adjusted her emotions and said with a sense of wonder: "The romantic cherry blossoms... the cherry blossoms that blanket the mountains and fields... truly beautiful"

With a smile on her face, she murmured to herself: "Big brother, from our first meeting until now, it has only been a mere two months. How could I possibly get married? Do you think everyone is like you, casually pulling in a woman to have children and then rushing into marriage?

After Auntie left, Xiao Qi asked a series of chaotic questions. Just before Ye Ran's patience ran out, he finally got to the point and asked: "Ye Ran, are you the Human Resources Manager at XX Company?"

Let's talk about it in the evening. Night was a bit embarrassed to trouble Jiang Hao and gave a vague answer

"Yeran, what a coincidence." Ling Shan called out to Yeran, who was about to change locations to view the cherry blossoms.

"I have a cousin who wants to work at your company. What position do you think could be arranged for her?" Xiao Qi asked with a serious expression.

Yeran patted her chest, still shaken, and secretly exclaimed how fortunate it was! Fortunately, the ground was not too hard, and fortunately, she had quickly pulled someone to cushion her fall; otherwise, her old bones would have truly fallen apart

After eating something haphazardly, Ye Ran and Jiang Hao went to the cinema to watch a movie before returning home

Upon entering the restaurant, Ye Ran instructed the waiter, "That pot, it must be spicy, definitely spicy! Only then will it have flavor!"

"Isn't this just to lighten the mood?" Ye Ran said with a smile, making a face at Jiang Hao. Perhaps, this is quite nice. If it really came to feelings or love with Jiang Hao, it might not be so carefree and relaxed.

"So, were you just about to ask me about the blind date?" Ye Ran pointed out Jiang Hao's intentions seriously: "You must not tell me that you are asking because you are interested in me, right?"

How did you come up with the idea of going to see the cherry blossoms?" Ye Ran asked while getting into the car and fastening her seatbelt.

"Do I not have the right?" Jiang Hao innocently retorted, "You are allowed to ask me, but I am not allowed to ask you?"

"Jiang Hao, did you come specifically to wait for me?" Ye Ran asked with a smile

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and get in the car," Jiang Hao said, turning his head slightly towards the passenger seat.

Ye Ran, quick-witted and eager to please, handed a teacup to Jiang Hao. Without suspicion, Jiang Hao accepted it and began to drink voraciously. However, as soon as he took a sip, he sensed something was amiss and, disregarding his image, promptly spat it out.

All day long, Ye Ran has been absent-minded. The last time, Zhu Wen's mother truly left Ye Ran feeling uneasy for a long time. Just think about it, what if her future husband ends up with a mother-in-law like that? How would she cope with it?

Jiang Hao, with a smile at the corners of his mouth, drove seriously and casually remarked, "You will soon see an even more beautiful scene, so get ready to scream."

A piece of skin has fallen from the sky, do you want it or not

I am more than happy to accept this compensation. Jiang Hao smiled and nodded, opened the car door, invited Ye Ran inside, and casually asked: What do you want to eat?

Jiang Hao steadily rose, wrapping his arms around and supporting Ye Ran's hips. With an array of graceful postures, under the attentive gaze of the waitstaff in the establishment, he slowly carried Ye Ran and elegantly walked out the door, heading straight for the parking lot

On such a warm and blossoming spring Saturday, with gentle winds and bright sunshine, if you don't go out to find a place to stroll, do you really want to stay at home and gather dust?" Jiang Hao said with a smile as he looked at Ye Ran

Jiang Hao's expression resembled the agony of swallowing arsenic, as he gritted his teeth in resentment while gnawing on the crab legs that were spicy enough to distort his handsome face. After just a few bites, he could no longer endure it and reached out to grab the teacup

Ye Ran shook her head, and the image of Jiang Hao holding her in his arms surfaced in her mind, causing her face to feel a sudden flush of heat

Ye Ran regained her composure and, in high spirits, picked crab meat from the pot, exclaiming with delight, "Ah, finally no one is competing with me for food."

Ye Ran thought to herself, in this day and age, a doctoral degree is abundant among returnees, what is so remarkable about a master's degree? However, she still presented a professional smile and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Ran"

Ye Ran pointed seriously at Jiang Hao and exaggeratedly said, "Since you have taken it, why are you asking me? How foolish! If you have taken it, it naturally means you have an extra layer of skin compared to usual; isn't that what a thick-skinned person is? Since you are thick-skinned, how could you blush?"

You are studying sports, with a major in badminton. Please tell us, what relevance does this have to our foreign trade clothing company? What can you do? Procurement? Orders? Even if your English is good, you still can't manage it, as we all specialize in clothing-related English

Ye Ran walked out of the Old Three Teahouse amidst his aunt's look of regret. After letting out a heavy sigh, he raised his eyes and noticed a familiar car seemingly parked at the street corner. Uncertain, he took a few steps towards the car, and through the half-rolled-down window, a familiar handsome face smiled warmly at Ye Ran.

Jiang Hao watched with a smile as Ye Ran, like a mischievous child, ran joyfully among the cherry blossom trees, hugging one tree and touching another, her cheerful expression evoking a warm flow of happiness within him. What he desired was such unpretentious laughter, ... to have a woman like her by his side for a lifetime. However, reality ... Jiang Hao furrowed his handsome brows and let out a gentle sigh, always feeling that there was something slightly unsatisfactory.

Jiang Hao's handsome face was contorted as he lowered his voice and asked Ye Ran fiercely, "Ye Ran, you must have done this on purpose, right?"

I am taking wedding photos with my wife. Ling Shan chuckled and looked at Ye Ran with concern, asking: "Are you married?"

"Should I pick you up that night?" Jiang Hao asked, then added seriously, "It's not easy to get a taxi over there."

Ye Ran proudly pouted her lips, her face beaming with a radiant smile. However, in the next moment, her joy turned to sorrow. The 8-centimeter high heels slipped on the slightly wet floor, causing her to lose her balance. Before she could finish her startled exclamation of "Ah..." she instinctively reached out for something to break her fall and fell straight back.

When I logged onto QQ, Ye Ran changed her signature to: Not all who ride white horses are princes; even Tang Seng has a little white horse. When will I, this Bo Le, encounter a thousand-mile horse

Alright, I won't say more to you. Ye Ran pouted and said, Drive safely, I don't want to be startled

I have eaten. However, I still need to have another meal. Transforming sorrow and anger into appetite

Is that so?" Jiang Hao replied incredulously.

Ah! Ye Ran stared in astonishment at Jiang Hao, who was bending down to carry her, feeling somewhat hesitant

The entire valley is filled with pink cherry blossom trees, and as far as the eye can see, there is a sea of soft pink hues. Occasionally, a breeze sweeps through the mountains, causing the pink petals to fall like a flurry of "sakura" in the air.

"Where is the blind date?" Jiang Hao asked curiously

Ye Ran shook his head and answered honestly: "No."

Ye Ran felt a sense of relief, and then heard him say: "You have no sincerity at all in your blind date! How can you be like this!"

This cannot be blamed on Ye Ran for speaking harshly, but rather on the facts. She is merely describing things more accurately.

"Jiang Hao, do you like me?" Ye Ran finally couldn't help but ask, looking at Jiang Hao who was focused on the road while holding the steering wheel.

Ye Ran glanced at Jiang Hao, her eyes rolling a couple of times, and with a cheerful smile, she pointed at the leftover broth from the spicy crab dish, saying word by word: "Do you want to hear about my blind date? No problem! First, drink up this pot of soup, and then I will slowly tell you all about it"

That night, when Yanran looked at Jiang Hao's handsome face as he gazed at the spicy crab drenched in red oil, an indescribable pleasure surged within her, making her feel exceptionally delighted. She couldn't help but eagerly invite him, "Go ahead and eat... I've prepared plenty of water for you! It's very flavorful!"

"Have you not had dinner yet?" Jiang Hao asked, furrowing his brows

Jiang Hao was left speechless by Ye Ran's unreasonable and forced explanation

Ye Ran shook his head without hesitation, resolutely defending himself, "No, absolutely not! By the heavens and the earth, with my lack of gentleness, my ungraciousness, and my unkindness, how could I possibly intend to make things difficult for you? If there were any intention, it would be deliberate."

"It seems that you have indeed twisted it. Let me take you home!" Jiang Hao half-squatted, grasped Ye Ran's ankle that was dangling there, examined it carefully for a moment before speaking
