That sounded reasonable.

Ye Shengge nodded and said, “Then… Go now. Dr. Song is waiting for you.”

The man chuckled and said, “Okay. Goodbye.”

He then turned around and walked to Song Ruyu’s office.

Ye Shengge felt a strong sense of loss as she watched the man leave.

This was their current relationship, the stranger they were most familiar with. Even if they met, they would just greet each other and walk in different directions.

She should’ve known, but when the truth was in front of her, she realized how cruel it was.

Ye Shengge blinked and forced back her tears. She then turned around and walked out.

…

Outside the villa, Lin Ran was reading gossip on Weibo in the car.

Suddenly, someone knocked on her window.

Lin Ran turned around and saw a bright smile.

She wound down the window and looked at him. “What’s the matter?”

“It’s Lin Ran, right?” The man smiled. “I want to ask you a favor. My car is broken, and I can’t turn on the air conditioner. Can I sit in your car for a bit?”

“Who are you?” Lin Ran looked cautious. “How do you know my name?”

The man looked like he wanted to vomit blood.

“You don’t remember me? I drove you home last time! I’m Mr. Ji’s assistant!” Sun Ye was furious. “You even called me Brother Sun!”

“Mr. Ji’s assistant?” Lin Ran was still confused. “Is that you? Why don’t I remember you at all?”

“Of course it’s me!” Sun Ye was furious. “You even ate the snacks in my car that day!”

Lin Ran was a bit embarrassed. “Sorry, I’m a bit face-blind. I can remember both the good-looking and the ugly ones.”

Sun Ye vomited another mouthful of blood.

Did that girl mean that he looked ordinary and passerby?

“Did you say your car broke down?” Lin Ran scratched her hair. “Why don’t you come up and sit for a bit? Sister Shengge isn’t out yet.”

Sun Ye forced a smile and said, “Okay, thank you. I’ve called the tow truck company. They’ll be here soon.”

He then walked to the front passenger seat and got into the car.

Lin Ran hesitated.

“What happened?” Sun Ye pretended not to know.

“Um… Nothing. Sit here,” said Lin Ran.

She wanted to say that the front passenger seat was Sister Shengge’s seat, and it wasn’t appropriate for the man to sit there, but he had already sat on it, so she had to swallow her words.

Lin Ran took out her phone again and continued to read the gossip, chuckling from time to time.

Sun Ye wanted to talk to her, but seeing how obsessed she was with her phone, he could only sit there.

Out of boredom, he couldn’t help looking at the rearview mirror. Speaking of which, he wasn’t a handsome guy, and he couldn’t compare to his boss… However, he was still a bit handsome, wasn’t he? He couldn’t be considered a passerby!

Just as he was getting into it, someone opened the car door.

Sun Ye looked up and saw Ye Shengge’s shocked face.

“Why are you here, Assistant Sun?” Ye Shengge’s eyes widened.

“I accompanied the president here,” Sun Ye said calmly. “But the car broke down and I saw Lin Ran, so I came here to get a seat.”
