After dealing with Seth, Rong Lan nudged Bai Rongran's shoulder and looked at her with a big smile. "Rongran, you'll stay here. Seth will protect you. Will you be scared?"
Bai Rongran hesitated for only a second before shaking her head. "No, I'm not." She was scared when she first saw Seth because he looked so fierce. But now she wasn't scared anymore. The more she looked at him, the more he seemed like a big dog wagging its tail, begging for a head - pat. He gave her an especially harmless feeling.
"That's good. Then just sit here quietly and wait to watch a good show!"
Rong Lan turned around and took Chu Hengyuan's hand.
Chu Hengyuan smiled and held the little girl's slender fingers in return. "Shall we go?"
"Let's go!"
The two walked towards the bar.
Seth sat down across from Bai Rongran, quietly curling up into a ball. His eyes would fall on Bai Rongran from time to time, truly taking on the responsibility of taking care of her.
Bai Rongran mostly focused on the direction of the bar, only paying attention to Seth occasionally. Maybe influenced by her first impression, she thought Seth looked like a dog no matter how she looked at him. Right now, he looked like a dog lying on the ground, quietly guarding its toy.
What she didn't know was that Seth thought she and his sister - in - law were both delicate and weak. He was trying very hard to restrain his aura, afraid of scaring her. He was worried that if he scared her to tears, his sister - in - law would be angry. God knows how fierce he was in the company. He was the kind of person who could scare his employees to tears.
At the bar of the bar, Rong Lan and Chu Hengyuan sat on the high stools. There was a cocktail in front of each of them.
The cocktail in front of Rong Lan was a gradient pink, while the one in front of Chu Hengyuan was a gradient blue - and - white. The drinks were extremely good - looking, but neither of them touched their glasses.
Rong Lan didn't dare to touch it. After the last incident of getting drunk and having memory loss, she didn't dare to drink anymore. Chu Hengyuan wasn't very interested in alcohol either, so he didn't touch it.
"What do you want to do, Lanlan?" Chu Hengyuan pinched the soft pad of the little fox's finger.
"I want to solve it with brute force directly. I can beat everyone in this bar!" Rong Lan shook her fox ears.
Chu Hengyuan laughed helplessly. The little girl was extremely proud when she said this. "Can you guarantee that you won't get hurt at all?"
"Of course!" She had magic now. The people in this small bar were of mixed quality. Maybe they weren't as good at fighting as the black - clothed men she met in the abandoned factory. Moreover, after her observation, if a fight really broke out, half of them would probably leave instead of helping.
Chu Hengyuan took out a hair tie from his windbreaker pocket. "Then go ahead."
Since she said she could do it, he believed she could.
Rong Lan turned around, showing her back to him. "Brother, help me tie my hair."
Chu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows. "The way I tie it may not be very nice."
"It doesn't matter. Just tie a high ponytail casually." Rong Lan waved her hand.
Chu Hengyuan didn't decline anymore. He first put the hair tie on his wrist and then gently smoothed her long, black and silky hair. "Lanlan, you can be a bit rougher when you fight later. As long as they're still alive, Seth can use his money to fix everything for us." Although he didn't know exactly what had happened to Bai Rongran, he could see that Bai Rongran had lost her baby. No matter what they had done to Bai Rongran, they were targeting a pregnant woman. Scumbags like them might not learn their lesson even if they were put in jail. It would be better to teach them a lesson with unconventional means.
"Yeah, I won't hold back." Rong Lan flexed her wrists. "But if a fight really breaks out later, will they realize that you're on my side and come after you?"
Chu Hengyuan gathered all her long hair that was scattered on her back, using his fingers as a comb to smooth it out one by one. "With Seth's wealth, he would never come to the bar alone. So there must be bodyguards brought by Seth in the bar. They will protect me."
Rong Lan nodded thoughtfully. "You're right."
Tying up the gathered hair with the hair tie, Chu Hengyuan casually touched the tip of the fox ears. "Okay, go, Lanlan."
The fox ears drooped. Rong Lan turned around. Looking at the gentle smile on the man's face, she couldn't help but hug him. "I know you must be worried about me! Don't worry. Your Lanlan is really amazing!"
Chu Hengyuan laughed. He gently patted her shoulder. "Yes, yes, yes. Your Lanlan is really amazing! I'll just sit here and wait for you. I won't go anywhere. If you need my help, just give me a look and I'll understand."
The music in the bar was really too loud. He might not even hear her if she shouted at him from a meter away. So when things got chaotic later, he probably wouldn't be able to hear what she said. But as long as his eyes didn't leave her, he wouldn't miss the change in her expression.
"Got it! Don't worry!"
Bai Rongran saw the two people sitting at the bar hugging each other. She turned her head away with a dark face. She now reasonably suspected that after leaving her in Seth's care, they went to be lovey - dovey. Since they sat at the bar, they had been holding hands, tying hair and hugging. She seriously suspected that the next step would be a kiss.
This scene was really unfriendly to someone like her who had been hurt in love.
Shifting her gaze to Seth, Bai Rongran found that Seth's eyes also seemed to be looking in the direction of the bar. But Seth's eyes were just like those of someone watching gossip, with a mysterious and sweet smile on his face. The smile was so unrestrained that even his beard couldn't hide it.
She thought for a moment. Just as she was about to talk to Seth and ask him why he called Chu Hengyuan "brother", she saw the expression on his face change.
She followed Seth's gaze and looked in the direction of the bar again. Only Chu Hengyuan was sitting there. Rong Lan was nowhere to be seen.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her hand clutching the corner of her clothes tightened unconsciously.
After leaving her seat at the bar, Rong Lan walked straight towards the booth where the five scumbags were. She stopped in front of their table and greeted them with a beaming smile. "Hello, everyone."
The six or seven people sitting in an eight - person booth all couldn't help but look Rong Lan up and down when they saw her. A thin man with a lewd smile said, "Little beauty, you've been looking at us when you were at the bar. Do you have a crush on one of us?"
Rong Lan's smile grew wider. "Yes—"
Of course she had a "crush". She was just confirming which of them she should beat up more severely. Besides the five direct murderers who had killed her little nephew, if a fight broke out, she might be a bit more lenient with the others.
"Little beauty is really pretty. She must look even better in bed."
"Hahaha, just in bed is not enough. Little beauty, come to me. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Come and give brother a hug. Brother will drink with you."
Rong Lan secretly remembered these people who had spoken and looked at the empty wine bottles beside their table.
"Get out of the way! I talked to the little beauty first!" The thin man pushed the person who spoke after him. "Come on, little beauty, sit down. Let's have a few drinks together." As he said this, he reached out his hand to grab Rong Lan's hand.
