Chapter 260: Chapter 140: Su Ran: Both Are My Girlfriends

Xiao Gui Yeyan Wanqing.

A woman’s hatred is as deep as her love.

As for the saying, "you should be able to let go of what you hold on to," Xiao Wanqing thought it was complete bullshit. She, Xiao Wanqing, had always been a woman who could pick things up but never put them down.

What she picked up was a hatchet; what she put down was a severed head.

Of course, that was all a matter of last resorts. For now, Xiao Wanqing was still very sweet and gentle.

Su Ran chuckled.

’No need to go that far,’ he thought. ’If that day ever comes, there’ll be no need for Xiao Wanqing to even pick up a hatchet.’

’That Shan Weizi from Hangzhou would have already slit my throat with one strike of her sword. As for the leftover corpse, they could chop it up with the hatchet, use it for Gu sorcery, or even make it into human-flesh raisins for all I care.’

Sweetness and crisis coexisted.

After all this, Su Ran didn’t want to die.

Really.

He had finally become a Divine Rich.

’Even though he hadn’t intentionally created this whole mess, he was the man, so it was his fault.’

Being a man isn’t easy.

He had just wanted to be a Divine Rich in peace. Who would have thought that in just half a year, he’d be completely ensnared by five women? He figured he’d just have to muddle through the days ahead.

He turned off his phone screen, placed it on the bedside table, and sank back onto the pillow. Xiao Wanqing instinctively wiggled closer, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Hiss..." Su Ran winced. "Ow, it still hurts."

"Sorry, sorry..." Xiao Wanqing pulled her hand back. She had just habitually reached down to grab it.

...

「The next morning.」

Su Ran walked out of the guest bedroom just as Xiao Wanqing was coming out of her small bedroom.

"Morning."

"Morning."

After washing up together, they went to the dining room.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao busy with breakfast, Su Ran rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen. "Mrs. Xiao, is there anything I can help with?"

Mrs. Xiao said with a beaming smile, "No need. I’m just frying a few eggs. Go have a seat, it’ll be ready in a moment."

"Alright." Su Ran brought a few bowls back to the dining table. "Mrs. Xiao, where’s Mr. Xiao?"

"He left for work early this morning."

"Oh... What does he do for work?"

"A driving school."

"Is he an instructor?"

"He opened it with a friend."

Su Ran turned to Xiao Wanqing, who was slumped over the table looking very sleepy, and said, "No wonder you’re such a good driver."

Xiao Wanqing said sleepily, "I don’t want to talk to you. You bullied me last night."

Su Ran just said, "Oh." ’Nothing even happened last night,’ he thought. ’We just played with the Finger Technique Fragrance for a little while, that’s all.’

...

During breakfast, Mrs. Xiao asked, "Su Ran, what would you like to eat for lunch? I can go buy the groceries."

Su Ran replied, "Thank you, Mrs. Xiao, but you don’t have to worry about lunch for me. I have to go see my uncle and aunt later."

Previously, Su Ran’s uncle had caught him and given him a lecture: "You come to Shanghai and don’t even visit home? Do you really think you’re an orphan? Or is your uncle dead to you?"

Su Ran had taken that to heart, so now he had to check in at his uncle’s house whenever he came to Shanghai.

"I’ll call him first to see if he’s home, so I don’t make a trip for nothing in case they’ve gone on vacation."

Su Ran went to the balcony to call his uncle.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...

The call connected.

"Hey, Uncle, it’s Su Ran."

"Hahaha, Uncle knew it was you! What’s up? Calling your old uncle for something?"

"I’m in Shanghai, Uncle. I’ll come see you around noon."

"Great! Uncle will go get groceries right now. Are you bringing your girlfriend?"

"Bringing my girlfriend?"

Su Ran turned his head and glanced at Xiao Wanqing, who had appeared beside him at some point without him noticing.

"Bailin said you have a girlfriend, and I told you last time too. When you come, bring her along for your uncle to meet."

"Okay, I’ll bring one."

"Alrighty then, hanging up now. Come early! Oh, and we’re not at home. We’re at your Grandpa Zhou’s place."

"Okay."

He hung up the phone and looked at Xiao Wanqing.

Xiao Wanqing said, "What are you looking at me for? Go get your dear Sister Jinyu."

Su Ran didn’t dare say, ’Sister Jinyu isn’t here, so you should come with me.’ ’If I said that,’ he thought, ’it wouldn’t be half an hour before the news reported: ’Man in Shanghai residential complex accidentally falls to his death from the 28th floor.’’

Su Ran said, "Sister Wanqing, you’re so beautiful. If I don’t take you, who else would I take?"

"Hmph... Stop playing innocent. Say something sweet, and maybe I’ll consider going with you."

"Alright, I’ll talk..." Su Ran whispered a few words into her ear. Xiao Wanqing’s face turned bashful, and she playfully smacked him. "Whether or not your tongue can blossom into a three-petaled lotus has nothing to do with me! Fine, I’ll go with you."

She was blushing.

’Uncle said to bring my girlfriend next time.’

’Girlfriend... he didn’t specify whether it had to be Shan Weizi, Liu Jinyu, or Xiao Wanqing.’

’They all are.’

’I’ll take Xiao Wanqing first.’

’Next time, if Shan Weizi wants to see my uncle, I’ll just take her.’

’Besides, Uncle has his own private stash of cash. As long as he gives out a few more big red envelopes, it shouldn’t be a problem.’

"Sister Wanqing, you’re the best."

"If I’m good to you, you have to be even better to me."

"Deal. After breakfast, I’ll take you shopping for clothes."

"Okay! Mwah~"

Xiao Wanqing stood on her tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss, completely ignoring her mother at the dining table.

Sigh...

Su Ran sighed. ’Other guys just mess with the girl, but how did I end up messing with the whole family? A family should be kept together, nice and neat, right?’

’I really don’t want to be like this.’

...

After breakfast, Xiao Wanqing went back to her room to do her makeup. Su Ran sat on her little bed, watching her draw her eyebrows in the mirror.

"Want me to help?"

"No. You used to do makeup for the dead. If I die one day, you can do it for me then."

"Pah! Don’t say such unlucky things."

...

Half an hour later, they left and took a taxi to the International Finance Center.

When VIP Client Manager Wang Xiaoxiao heard Su Ran had arrived, she hurried over and received him and Xiao Wanqing in the first-floor lobby. Su Ran asked Wang Xiaoxiao to help Xiao Wanqing find some designer clothes that would suit her.

"Of course. This way, please, Miss Xiao."

They followed Wang Xiaoxiao to a high-end luxury store. It was a brand Su Ran had never heard of, but judging from the prices, it was definitely high-end.

Xiao Wanqing had excellent taste and saw a few dresses that suited her, but she didn’t reach for them. In private with Su Ran, she wouldn’t care, but in a public place like this, if she picked out clothes—and all of them luxury items—people would start gossiping after they paid and left.
