Rong Lan blinked her eyes and said without hesitation, "Even if I don't praise him, my brother is good-looking. But from my perspective, the glasses are just ordinary, but they look great on my brother's face."
She had watched quite a few cheesy TV dramas out of boredom recently, so cheesy lines just came to her lips.
Chu Hengyuan held back his laughter. If his little girl's fox ears weren't drooping when she said this, he would have believed her more.
Obviously, the little girl herself found the words embarrassing, and her fox ears drooped.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lan Lan." He ruffled his little girl's hair.
Since he could see her fox ears now, he deliberately avoided touching them so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
Rong Lan hugged the sofa pillow and leaned against Chu Hengyuan. Her fox ears twitched. "So, brother, did you come to wait for me at the community entrance today just to show off your new glasses?"
Chu Hengyuan looked at her deeply. "I couldn't wait to see you."
He couldn't wait to see his little girl and her fox ears. After he finished cooking, he strolled to the community entrance to wait for Rong Lan to come home from work.
It turned out that it was definitely worth spending a million on these glasses that might only cost a few hundred yuan to make.
He saw the little girl with a pair of fluffy white animal ears walking towards him. He was so charmed that he almost lost his composure. At that time, the little girl was obviously immersed in the joy of getting off work, and her fox ears were standing upright. It made people itch to reach out and pinch them.
It was a pity that he couldn't find a proper reason to touch her fox ears, so he had to hold back.
"Did something happen today? Why couldn't you wait to see me?" The little fox, who usually got off work on time, was confused.
Chu Hengyuan smiled and his eyes still fell on her fox ears. "Nothing happened today. I just suddenly missed you."
Rong Lan tried hard to control her heart rate so as not to show her shyness too obviously. However, she didn't know that her fox ears had betrayed her true state.
Seeing that the little girl was too shy to look at him, Chu Hengyuan reached out to tidy up the messy hair around her ears. He glanced at the real-time on the TV. "Watch TV for another hour, and then it's time for you to take a shower, Lan Lan."
"Okay, I got it!"
"Good girl."
In the following days, Chu Hengyuan wore his glasses most of the time when he was with Rong Lan, just to see Rong Lan's most real state.
Rong Lan didn't find anything strange. She just thought that Chu Hengyuan wanted to change his image. She didn't know that Si Mo had sold her out for a million. Now when she twitched her ears in front of Chu Hengyuan, he could see it clearly.
Half a month passed. The little ghosts, who hadn't visited the fortune-telling house for two weeks, came to the fortune-telling house with their fruits of labor.
"Master, we actually took many sets of photos, but this set is the most special in the past half month. Take a look and see if it's suitable?" The little ghosts spread out the special photos on the wooden table and waited for Rong Lan's comment.
Si Mo tapped the table with his folding fan. The originally virtual photos became real and were neatly arranged on the table.
Only then did Rong Lan concentrate on looking at them.
One minute later, she silently stacked up the spread photos. "When did you take these?"
The little ghosts looked at each other. After thinking for a while, they came up with the answer. "It was probably last Saturday."
Rong Lan took a deep breath to suppress her rising anger. "This set of photos is great, but it may not be able to get enough money. Do you have any other relatively special photos?"
The little ghosts discussed for a while and then showed another set of photos. "This should be relatively special, but not as special as the previous set. We saw this gentleman appear here twice in the past half month."
"Hey - this place looks familiar." Rong Lan looked at the name of the place in the photo and stroked her chin. "Isn't this the mental hospital where Chen Hong stays?"
Could it be that Chu Chuan and Chen Hong were acquainted? Did Chu Chuan go to visit Chen Hong on purpose?
Si Mo was attracted by the surprised little fox. He leaned over to take a few glances at the new set of photos and thought thoughtfully, "I probably know what he went to the mental hospital for. His biological mother seems to live there."
"Really?" Rong Lan, who didn't pay much attention to gossip, asked the little ghosts curiously, "Did you see who Chu Chuan met in the mental hospital?"
One of the little ghosts nodded. "He met a woman who looked only in her thirties. We were also surprised. The woman seemed to be in good mental state. She didn't look like a patient in the mental hospital. We secretly took a look at her medical record. She had been in the mental hospital for several years."
"Interesting." Rong Lan sorted out this set of photos. "This set of photos is good. I'll send the photos to the customer later. I won't know how much money the customer will transfer to my account until later. I'll tell you immediately after I know."
The little ghosts nodded hurriedly. "Then we'll continue to follow that gentleman. Thank you, master."
Rong Lan nodded and took out her phone to take pictures of the second set of photos.
After the little ghosts left, Si Mo picked up the first set of photos and flipped through them. There was a mocking coldness between his eyebrows. "I really admire Chu Chuan. He's been followed by ghosts for so long. He should be sick by now. But he still has the energy to take a... woman in her forties to a hotel to get a room?"
Rong Lan selected some photos from the second set she took. She chose a few that clearly showed it was Chu Chuan and sent them to Bai Rongran. "I heard from the little ghosts that the woman Chu Chuan met in the mental hospital was in her thirties, which means his mother should be only in her thirties. But the woman in the photo is obviously in her forties. Chu Chuan really has no standards."
The angrier she got, the more her fox ears fluffed up.
She wasn't angry that Chu Chuan got a room with a much older woman. She was angry that Bai Rongran was blind to fall in love with Chu Chuan.
She could have sent this set of photos to Bai Rongran to make her give up on Chu Chuan. But thinking about the five or six - month - old baby in Bai Rongran's belly, she had to pretend not to know about it. After all, the baby was already so big. If the pregnant woman's emotions fluctuated too much, not only might the baby not be saved, but the pregnant woman might also be in danger of losing her life.
Bai Rongran was alone abroad and there was no one to take care of her. If something really happened to Bai Rongran, they wouldn't be able to rush there in time to save her.
"I'm really impressed. I don't know for what reason, but Chu Chuan can really lower his standards." He thought he knew Chu Chuan's character quite well. If Chu Chuan took a girl of his own age to a hotel, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
However, this set of photos he was looking at now redefined his lower limit of understanding of Chu Chuan.
