CHAPTER 290: CHAPTER 290: SENDING YOU HOME DIRECTLY (1)

Over the ten years, she had spent too much time with him. To maintain this relationship, she had put in a lot of effort. She, who had always been principled, kept compromising and breaking her bottom line, not for anything else, but because she loved him. So now that they had broken up, to say she wasn’t sad or upset would be a lie. She just wanted to lick her wounds alone. With time, maybe it would get better.

Ruan Pianran followed Mi Zhihong and Fang Qingru downstairs with a somewhat complicated mood. As they reached the staircase entrance, she suddenly looked up and her eyes fell on the Lamborghini blocking the exit!

The flamboyant blue color and that unique model made a deep impression at first glance. So the moment she saw the car, Ruan Pianran immediately thought of Chu Chen. Instantly surprised and a bit annoyed, she thought to herself, could that pervert Chu Chen have tracked her down here?

Just as this thought flashed in her mind, she immediately thought again that he shouldn’t be so bored, right?

At that moment, there was a "click," and the car door opened a crack. Somehow, all the nerves in Ruan Pianran’s body tensed up involuntarily. Her eyes stared fixedly at the car door, watching the long legs and the shiny black leather shoes emerging from the car. Suddenly, even her walking posture seemed stiff.

"Ruanruan." Chu Chen got out of the car handsomely, his smiling eyes fell on Ruan Pianran’s expressionless face, and he smiled, showing a few white teeth as he called out.

"..." Ruan Pianran didn’t respond. She lowered her head, intending to pretend she didn’t know him.

But Chu Chen had spent some time finding this place, so how could he leave right after meeting her? With a gentlemanly smile, he turned to greet Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong, "Uncle, Auntie, hello."

"Who are you?" Seeing that Ruanruan didn’t respond to Chu Chen, Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong had only glanced at him without paying much attention. But now, seeing him greet them, the couple stopped in unison, asking with confusion and curiosity.

"I am Shen Lingxing’s good buddy, Chu Chen," Chu Chen introduced himself politely.

So he was Ling Xing’s friend!

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong’s attitude immediately became much warmer. "Since you are Ling Xing’s good friend, you are our friend too. Xiao Chu, why don’t you come upstairs and sit for a while?"

As soon as Mi Zhihong finished speaking, Fang Qingru’s voice followed, "Xiao Chu, are you here to pick up Ruanruan?"

"Yes," Chu Chen nodded earnestly, then continued, "I want to take Ruanruan home. I’ll come by for tea next time."

What’s wrong with this pervert?

Who asked him to take her home?

Ruan Pianran couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted, "Chu Chen, what are you joking about!"

"I’m not joking!" Chu Chen looked at Ruan Pianran earnestly and said.

"You..." Ruan Pianran was infuriated. Facing Chu Chen, there was always an unexplainable anger inside her, making it impossible for her to remain calm.

"Uncle, Auntie, I’m not familiar with him. I don’t want to trouble him. Why don’t you go upstairs first? I’ll take a taxi to the station," Ruan Pianran turned to Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong, hoping they could help her out.

"I don’t mind the trouble. I like you, and I like being troubled by you," Chu Chen said earnestly without a blush or a breath.

He really is a pervert!

Such a cheesy line, and he dared to say it in front of Uncle and Auntie! And yet, he put on this infatuated look, it’s truly disgusting!

Feeling repulsed, Ruan Pianran glared at Chu Chen and said, "Did you forget to take your medication today? Are you clear-headed?"

"Of course I’m clear-headed. I’ve been waiting here since six o’clock, and with no breakfast, my mind naturally stays clear," Chu Chen replied.

"..." Ruan Pianran was at a loss for words, feeling an overwhelming sense of powerlessness in facing this lunatic.

In stark contrast to Ruan Pianran’s rejection, Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong, despite meeting Chu Chen for the first time and knowing nothing about him, admired his dedication and perseverance for waiting downstairs for nearly an hour on an empty stomach without complaining or rushing them. This sincerity and perseverance deserved respect!

"Ruanruan, just let Xiao Chu take you," Fang Qingru looked at Chu Chen with appreciation, then turned and smiled at Ruan Pianran.

"Auntie, I..." Ruan Pianran stammered, "I’m really not familiar with him!"

"We are all friends. The more you meet, the more familiar you get. Besides, you young people should make more friends," Fang Qingru said as she walked to Ruan Pianran’s side, then wrapped her arm around her, pulling her aside and continued, "Ruanruan, don’t blame Auntie for meddling. I think Xiao Chu is quite good. You should get to know him better. It’s always good to have more friends."

What’s good about this pervert?

She just didn’t see it.

Ruan Pianran silently complained in her heart, then she remembered the last time Mi Jing mentioned that Fang Qingru wanted to introduce her to someone. Realizing that if she didn’t agree, Auntie would certainly persuade her earnestly, she forced a smile and nodded at Fang Qingru.

Seeing this, Fang Qingru immediately beamed and said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chu, then please take Ruanruan home."

"Sure, I will definitely get her home safely," Chu Chen readily agreed.

After saying goodbye to Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong, Ruan Pianran followed Chu Chen to the car. She originally wanted to sit in the back, but Chu Chen opened the passenger door first. Under the eager eyes of Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong, she couldn’t show anger and forced herself to sit in the passenger seat unwillingly.

"Please take me to the station," Ruan Pianran said coldly as the car started.

"Where is the station?" Chu Chen asked nonchalantly.

Does he really not know Jin City or is he trying to mess with her?

With a stern face, Ruan Pianran snapped, "Isn’t there a navigation system?" She couldn’t believe that such an advanced car wouldn’t have a navigation system.

"No need for that, I’ll take you home directly," Chu Chen glanced at Ruan Pianran and said.

Take her home directly?

When Chu Chen first mentioned taking her home, Ruan Pianran didn’t take it seriously, thinking that he wouldn’t be bored enough to waste so much time taking her back to Cili. But now that he mentioned it again, she had to believe it and face this matter seriously.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t want to trouble you!" Ruan Pianran said through clenched teeth.

"It’s no trouble. I already told Uncle and Auntie that I would get you home safely."

"But I don’t want to trouble you. I have a lot to deal with and no time to repay the favor, nor do I want to owe you a favor!" Ruan Pianran took a deep breath, gathered her emotions, and then let out all the words that she had been holding back.
