Chapter 470: Chapter 470

"You went to Longteng Xinyuan to find An Ran?"

Mu Xingfeng interrupted Lin Ruonan, his gaze deep and his voice as cold as ice chips.

Lin Ruonan instinctively swallowed, but still nodded, "At that time, I just wanted to understand the relationship between you and her, and I also informed An Ran about our engagement during the Spring Festival. I’m sorry, Second Brother, I was just overwhelmed by jealousy..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Ruonan saw a blur in front of her, followed by the sound of "clang." Mu Xingfeng had already disappeared out the door.

Lin Ruonan swallowed again and looked at Lin Junyang with difficulty, only to see that he also appeared shocked.

"Brother, do you think Second Brother will forgive me?" Lin Ruonan asked.

Lin Junyang stood up and sat next to Lin Ruonan, patting her shoulder, "Don’t worry, Second Brother has already forgiven you."

Ever since their grandfather’s birthday banquet, his sister seemed to have changed completely, lacking her previous cold beauty and gaining a touch of tenderness. This new version of his sister made him feel much closer to her; he knew this was the true Lin Ruonan.

Mu Xingfeng started his car after going downstairs and headed straight for Nan’an City.

He finally understood why An Ran, who initially had no grudges against him at Longteng Xinyuan, suddenly started avoiding him and stopped living there.

That girl must have thought she was the third party interfering in his relationship with Lin Ruonan, or perhaps she considered him a playboy who was greedy. That’s why she avoided him.

Fortunately, when he made her his nominal girlfriend, he had already explained his relationship with Lin Ruonan to her. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

But now? Why is she treating him this way again? He could feel that An Ran did not reject him; sometimes, she even relied on him. But why wouldn’t she accept him?

Damn it, that stubborn girl, is she being difficult again?

After spending a night dwelling on it, he decided not to think about it anymore. Since this difficult girl kept overthinking, he would see what exactly she was thinking.

After lunch, An Ran and Xiao Xiao headed back to school.

Just as she reached the school gate, she ran into someone she did not expect—An Youcai.

It was clear that An Youcai intentionally waited for her there.

"Ran, Daddy just dropped off Sijia at school. I haven’t seen you for a long time and wanted to talk. Do you have time to sit with Daddy for a while?"

An Youcai still looked like a peacemaker in the face of any big issue.

A while ago, she and An Sicheng met in Imperial City and agreed not to mention it to their family. Now, An Youcai was looking for her, probably out of a ridiculous sense of obligation as her adoptive father.

An Ran handed her luggage to Xiao Xiao, asking her to go back to the dorm first, and said to An Youcai, "Let’s go."

An Youcai didn’t immediately start walking but instead gazed at his now elegantly grown daughter, with an inexplicable look of near-fascination in his eyes.

After An Ran had walked a distance, he sighed softly and followed her.

In the café, An Ran and An Youcai sat opposite each other, gently stirring their coffee.

An Youcai broke the somewhat awkward silence first, "Ran, I heard from your mother that you have a wealthy boyfriend. Actually, the fact that you can be happy is something we all want to see. Why did you have to sever the adoption relationship with the family?"

"Dad, tell me the truth, what exactly did Mom say to you?" An Ran had always been curious about how Sun Xuehui explained Mu Xingfeng’s use of twenty million to buy her freedom to An Youcai.
