When she arrived at the western restaurant Yu Xuan had sent her, Bai Ran saw Yu Xuan sitting by the window.

“Ah Xuan, you’re so unreasonable. I can’t even bring a friend to eat with me.” Bai Ran pouted, her tone a little unhappy.

Actually, when she was overseas, Bai Ran had encountered similar things. As long as she was with Yu Xuan, she absolutely could not bring her other classmates and friends along. Sometimes, when Bai Ran played with others, she might even be inexplicably called away by Yu Xuan in the name of work. However, if she really rushed back, Yu Xuan would only delay her or do some unimportant work.

It seemed like Yu Xuan had been rejecting the people in Bai Ran’s circle from the beginning to the end. She did not want Bai Ran to stay in that circle either. She only wanted Bai Ran to stay in her circle.

She had thought that this situation would be a little better when she returned to the country, but the outcome was the same.

This was also why Bai Ran’s mood instantly became a little off.

“I didn’t see you getting close to anyone! I asked you to come over with me alone, but you didn’t agree either, did you?” Yu Xuan’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

She had deliberately appeared in the company yesterday with the intention of staying with Bai Ran openly at all times in the future.

In the end, Yu Xuan wanted her to take the plane with her, but she actually rejected it!

“It’s not good to be special like this! Everyone came here together, and they were all plane tickets bought by the company. If I’m special alone and follow you, what will others think of me?!” Bai Ran quickly explained. After all, Yu Xuan had good intentions.

“They can look at it however they want. I invested in this advertisement. If not for me, would they have received such a generous reward this time?! Why do they care?” Yu Xuan rolled her eyes in disdain.

“They didn’t care about you in the first place! You’re a big investor. Who dares to offend you? They’re looking at me! This isn’t like those rumors. It’ll be a fact that I followed you, it won’t be good! Besides, why don’t you stay on the same plane as us?!” Bai Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“It’s impossible for me to squeeze with those people from your company! I’d rather take the plane again alone!”

“If you say I’m in charge again, who would dare to say anything? You’re just too careful! You’ll only be bullied like this!” Yu Xuan’s eyes were filled with disapproval. When she thought of Xu Na’s words when she blocked Bai Ran, she felt very unhappy.

She had seen the entire process outside the door that day. Firstly, she was unhappy that someone dared to say such things to her face. Furthermore, it was someone who had just returned. He really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Secondly, she was unhappy about why Bai Ran was involved with so many people?!

“No, I’m fine at this company. My boss thinks highly of me, and my colleagues are quite friendly,” Bai Ran said calmly, not minding it at all.

“Is that so? No one pointed fingers at you the few times you went on the trending searches?” Yu Xuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Ran.

“Isn’t that normal? Those people are just gossiping. It’ll be over in a few days. It’s just a small matter.” Bai Ran’s tone was still calm, not taking these things seriously.

“Then what is important to you?” Yu Xuan frowned.

“Food is the god of the people! Eating is the important thing! If we don’t eat the steak soon, it’ll turn cold!” Bai Ran pouted like a little girl.

Then, she picked up a small piece and placed it by Yu Xuan’s mouth with a fork.

Yu Xuan reached out and bit that steak into her mouth. As she chewed, she smiled.

After so long, Bai Ran had finally begun to feed her again!

Yu Xuan felt very carefree. Instantly, it was as if all the unhappy things had dissipated.

“It’s good, right?!” Bai Ran smiled and gave herself a piece. She said, “Let’s not talk about random things. Let’s talk about work!”

“I heard you say that a mysterious partner will appear when we film at the Heavenly Lake? This person was not in the script for this advertisement. What on earth is going on?” Bai Ran asked curiously.

“I saw him on TV a few days ago, so I called him over. It’s that simple,” Yu Xuan said casually.

“It’s not that simple!” Bai Ran looked at Yu Xuan, not wanting to let go of this answer..
