As she spoke, she slightly spread her arms, smiling brightly.
Bai Rongran frowned and glanced at Rong Lan. She tapped Rong Lan's arm and said, "No thanks. Our relationship isn't that close."
Being rejected didn't discourage Rong Lan at all. While Bai Rongran wasn't paying attention, she quickly took a step forward, gently hugged her for just a second, and then stepped back two paces to prevent Bai Rongran from hitting her.
Bai Rongran was startled by Rong Lan. If it weren't for the people coming and going, she would have pounced on Rong Lan and fought with her. She glared at Rong Lan with gritted teeth. "What are you doing?! I've already said our relationship isn't that close!"
Rong Lan shook her head helplessly. Standing with her hands behind her back, she looked serious. "Ranran, this is your last chance to choose. It's either love or family. Even now, I still think getting rid of the baby is the best solution."
"Think about it. You've just returned to the Bai family. Mom and Dad cherish every moment with you. In the Bai family, you're the carefree young miss of the Bai family. You can have whatever you want. All you need to do is act coquettishly with Mom, and she'd even try to pick the stars in the sky for you. Moreover, in this circle, there are plenty of people who are willing to befriend you and make you happy. You won't feel lonely. But if you go abroad, there won't be anyone you know or your parents. You'll have to take care of yourself. Chu Chuan is in charge of the Chu Group now. Do you think he'll have the time to accompany you abroad?"
Before Rong Lan could continue her speech, Bai Rongran simply said "Goodbye" and turned around, striding away gracefully.
Watching the stubborn back of the young girl, Rong Lan, who hadn't finished speaking, let out a sigh. She murmured softly, "How unreasonable. I even gave up my sleep to come and see her off. I was going to say that if we told Mom and Dad the truth, they'd probably accept the baby, and she wouldn't have to go abroad. It's really..."
Rong Lan watched Bai Rongran pass through the security checkpoint. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Bai Rongran, who had never looked back, suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at her. Although there was no smile on her face, she still waved at Rong Lan.
Rong Lan looked around. Not seeing anyone she knew, she was sure Bai Rongran was looking at her. She raised her eyebrows and waved back at Bai Rongran, feeling flattered.
Bai Rongran wasn't that bad after all. The blow she gave her just now wasn't even that hard, and now she even turned back to wave goodbye?
This was a kind of treatment the original owner had never received in her memory.
She even had an illusion that if Bai Rongran was properly guided, they could truly get along amicably.
It wasn't until Bai Rongran's figure disappeared from sight that Rong Lan turned around and walked out of the airport.
The parking lot outside the airport was almost full. Even so, Rong Lan immediately spotted the handsome man in a khaki windbreaker, leaning against the car door and playing with his phone.
All in all, Chu Hengyuan was really good - looking.
Moreover, among all the people in the world, the many causal lines around Chu Hengyuan were relatively clean.
Chu Hengyuan was so engrossed in his phone that even when Rong Lan stood beside him, only an arm's length away, he still didn't look up.
Rong Lan almost thought that her magic had worked and she was using the invisibility spell.
She coughed lightly and reminded Chu Hengyuan helplessly, "Young Master Chu..."
The voice was familiar. Only then did Chu Hengyuan turn his head. Seeing it was Rong Lan, he smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, there were a few people trying to flirt with me just now..."
"So Young Master Chu thought I was one of those flirters and didn't want to talk to me," Rong Lan pretended to sigh sadly.
The young girl's acting was rather clumsy. But even though he knew Rong Lan was acting, Chu Hengyuan could only apologize. "Sorry, sorry. To make it up to Miss Bai, I'll take you for milk tea."
"Well, that sounds sincere," Rong Lan said with a smile.
"Then please do me the honor of getting in the car, Miss Bai," Chu Hengyuan said as he walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and made an elegant "please" gesture.
When Chu Hengyuan made this gesture, all Rong Lan could see was the man's inherent nobility.
She wasn't polite and bent down to get into the passenger seat.
After Chu Hengyuan closed the passenger - side door, he walked back to the driver's seat, opened the door, and got in.
"Why did Miss Bai come to see Bai Rongran off?" This was the question that had been bugging Chu Hengyuan the most. When he received the message from Rong Lan asking him to pick her up at the airport, he almost thought someone was setting him up.
Rong Lan turned to look at Chu Hengyuan. "You could say it's sisterly affection?"
Anyway, she currently felt that her relationship with Bai Rongran seemed to have improved a little, although this wasn't the result she wanted.
Chu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows, took out his phone, opened the chat box of a group with more than fifty people, and handed the phone to Rong Lan.
Rong Lan was confused but still took the phone.
Chu Hengyuan smiled. "Maybe Miss Bai can scroll up and take a look at the previous chat records in this group."
As he spoke, he started the car.
Rong Lan didn't understand what he meant but still followed his advice and looked down at the chat records.
Ten minutes later, Rong Lan's face darkened.
The improvement in her relationship with Bai Rongran she felt just now was indeed an illusion.
Bai Rongran was really a headache. She even hinted to other people of the same age in this circle that she was going abroad because she was forced by her sister.
It was making the fox so angry!
She shouldn't have been soft - hearted and come to the airport to see Bai Rongran off today!
This ungrateful girl! She had started spreading rumors last night about how domineering she was and couldn't tolerate her sister, so Bai Rongran had to go abroad out of desperation. And today, she even had the nerve to ask her to see her off at the airport! How shameless!
Rong Lan returned the phone to Chu Hengyuan. "There won't be a next time for this so - called sisterly affection!"
She was so angry that she wanted to puff up her fur, but now she had neither fur nor a tail.
Chu Hengyuan laughed. "Since I've been following this drama, I've been curious why Miss Bai was so magnanimous as to see her off at the airport."
Rong Lan angrily counted on her fingers. "No next time!"
"By the way, Miss Bai said she'd arrange the dinner place. Where is it? I might as well drive to the mall near the dinner place and park there. That way, we won't waste any time," Chu Hengyuan said.
Rong Lan took out her phone and entered the location of the dinner place. "Linjiang Teahouse."
She had stayed up all night planning where to have dinner to make it easier for her to cause some trouble. This place she finally chose was the lucky one out of countless options.
"Linjiang Teahouse?" Chu Hengyuan knew where this teahouse was. Because he knew, he couldn't help but smile. "Then Miss Bai really lost out by coming to see Bai Rongran off."
