After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

The next day, Lu Ranran opened her eyes in a daze.

Half asleep, she suddenly remembered something, her eyes widened, and she jumped up.

Did she have a fight with Shen Xiling last night? !

Maybe it was a dream...she thought hopefully.

With such a mood, she washed up tremblingly, opened the door, and deliberately lightened her steps when going downstairs. At this time, she could faintly hear the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.

Lu Ranran took a deep breath, his heart beating like a war drum.

I hope it's Li Ma who's busy——

"Ma'am, what are you looking at here—"

“Ah!” “Ouch!”

Lu Ranran was startled by the sudden appearance of Li Ma.

But Li's mother was obviously not in good condition either.

She was stroking her chest with one hand to calm her heartbeat, and holding dog food in the other hand, probably because she had just come back from feeding Ah Huang.

"Auntie Li," Lu Ranran looked guilty and stepped forward to gently stroke her back, "I'm sorry, I..."

Li Ma recovered her breath and did not ask any more questions. She just smiled kindly and said:

"I'm fine. I'm fine."

Lu Ranran breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject somewhat dryly.

"You just went to feed Ah Huang..."

"Oh, Huang is too thin, just skin and bones. I need to study what is...what is that word? Oh, right, scientific feeding!"

Lu Ranran was just about to say that Ah Huang was thin but not malnourished.

Mother Li suddenly changed the subject and pushed Lu Ranran towards the restaurant.

"Go eat now, or the food will get cold."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his own business.

The rapid-fire conversation left Lu Ranran no chance to interrupt, and pushed her into a desperate situation.

Lu Ranran could only pretend nothing had happened and walked into the restaurant.

Sure enough, the slight sound of the dishes and chopsticks colliding just now was made by Shen Xiling.

Shen Xiling, who was sipping porridge from a bowl, raised her eyelids and unexpectedly bumped into Lu Ranran who walked in.

They both subconsciously looked away.

Lu Ranran's heart moved, and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

It’s over. Last night was definitely not a dream.

She really had an argument with Shen Xiling... No, Shen Xiling clearly said those words with good intentions, and she was unilaterally angry at Shen Xiling.

Lu Ranran, how dare you? !

At this moment, she just wanted to look up to the sky and let out three long roars.

But on the surface, she sat calmly opposite Shen Xiling, and said lightly while picking up the bowl and chopsticks.

"Morning."

Shen Xiling also curled up the corners of his mouth to show his respect.

"Good morning."

After that, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet except for the occasional sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.

Lu Ranran was eating breakfast in silence. There has never been a moment in her heart like today. She was hoping that Aunt Li would stop working and come to have breakfast with them.

The perception of time is stretched, and one minute feels as long as a century.

"last night......"

"cough--!"

Shen Xiling suddenly spoke, causing Lu Ranran, who was drinking porridge, to choke.

"Are you okay?"

He quickly took out a napkin from the table and handed it to Lu Ranran.

Lu Ranran took the tissue and covered her mouth, then waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.

Only then did Shen Xiling withdraw his hand and return to his usual gentle expression.

"Last night," he said sincerely, "I was inconsiderate. I apologize."

"!" Lu Ranran covered her mouth, widened her eyes, and looked at Shen Xiling in surprise.

"I thought about it last night, and I think you're right..."

Is she right?!

Lu Ranran was about to retort, but was choked by saliva as soon as she opened her mouth.

Shen Xiling continued:

"But I want to make it clear first, I'm not second-guessing you, I really want to help you."

"But I really didn't do well enough. Since you pointed it out, I should correct it."

wrong!

Lu Ranran kept wailing in her heart, she really didn’t mean that!

But Shen Xiling did not give her a chance to "defend herself".

"In that case, let's start with small things."

Shen Xiling stood up slightly, took the empty bowl from Lu Ranran, and asked caringly:

"Another bowl?"

Before Lu Ranran could react, the bowl in her hand was snatched away by Shen Xiling.

After a few seconds, the bowl full of porridge was brought back.

Shen Xiling continued:

"After you're done eating, I'll take you to the set."

"?"

Ever since Lu Ranran started to get busy with Chang Hong, Lu Ranran hasn't gone out with Shen Xiling for a long time because the buildings of Nancheng Media and Shen's construction are not in the same direction.

"...It's not on the way, right? And there's a traffic jam on the road..." Lu Ranran retorted in a low voice, but the more he spoke, the less confident he became.

Shen Xiling's few words made Lu Ranran feel embarrassed about what she had said.

If Lu Ranran refused again at this time, it would seem very hypocritical.

You scolded others when they didn't help, and now that they have started to help, you are disgusted again.

Caught in such a dilemma, Lu Ranran had no choice but to try to convince Shen Xiling with objective reasons.

But this move was like a light sweep of a kitten's claws in front of Shen Xiling.

His smile deepened, and he said gently:

"It does not matter, I do not mind."

See it.

Lu Ranran finally gave up resisting.

I’ll block you to death! She thought fiercely.

But then I realized that there was no such thing as the president being "late".

Lu Ranran instantly became listless again, and just responded sullenly without saying anything else.

When getting in the car, Lu Ranran opened the back door as usual.

But suddenly Shen Xiling held his hand.

"Sit in the front," he said.

"?"

The warmth on the back of my hand suddenly disappeared.

Shen Xiling walked around the front of the car to the other side and opened the driver's door.

"Walk?"

Shen Xiling turned his head and gestured to Lu Ranran.

Lu Ranran finally came back to her senses from her shock, turned around and opened the passenger door.

"Does Xiao Li need anything else?"

Shen Xiling turned sideways and fastened his seat belt.

"No."

"?"

"I said I wanted to help, so I can't let someone else do it for me."

"..."

After the car started, Shen Xiling held the steering wheel and said something seemingly casually.

"Look at your phone."

Lu Ranran felt confused, but still did as he was told.

As soon as she turned on the phone screen, Lu Ranran received a news alert.

“Lishui Temple is booked out? Citizens are dissatisfied and angrily denounce: Cultural heritage belongs to the public!”

Lu Ranran widened her eyes and looked at Shen Xiling in shock.

Shen Xiling was looking intently at the road ahead, as if he didn't notice Lu Ranran's gaze.

Lu Ranran withdrew her gaze and clicked on the news push.

As expected, it was about Chu Yue's worship at the Lishui Temple at the start of the filming.

The comments were filled with outrage.

"Just start filming, what's so great about you guys in 208? Why did you book the temple and not let people in?"

"I don't mean to offend you, but don't you think this kind of worship is very feudal?"

"I heard they are going to shoot at South City University! This is the Lu family's investment, so we must resolutely resist the invasion of capital into the campus!"

Such public opinions are rampant.

After a while, while waiting for the traffic light, Shen Xiling turned to Lu Ranran and explained:

"There was no time to fix this beforehand, so we can only fix it afterwards."

"Now, do you think this is ok?"
