Grassroots President

Chapter 268 Preparing for the Prom

"I've been here all the time. I was too tired yesterday and fell asleep until now. I woke up and saw this scene in front of me." Qiao Zimo said with a smile.

Xiao Ran didn't understand what was going on, why Qiao Siyuan made a statement, no matter what the reason was, the result was what he wanted.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Qiao Zimo stretched his waist and asked softly.

Xiao Ran looked at Qiao Zimo and smiled, "It's nothing, I'm going back to the room." After speaking, Xiao Ran turned and went back to the room.

Looking at Xiao Ran's background, Qiao Zimo felt something was wrong, wondering if he was blaming himself for not going home in time to talk to his father about what happened yesterday.

Qiao Zimo felt that he should wash up and go home quickly. After the matter is settled, there will be a party tonight, which is the dinner I told Xiao Ran yesterday.

Because if Xiao Ran was told directly to go to the party, she would never agree to go with her, so Qiao Zimo didn't say it directly.

This dance has a special meaning to Qiao Zimo, he hopes that Xiao Ran can be his dance partner, even if it is the last time.

Qiao Zimo hurriedly washed up, went out, went straight to the parking lot and drove away. When driving alone, Qiao Zimo got used to turning on the radio to listen to some news.

Just as he was thinking about how to tell his father about his relationship with Xiao Ran, Qiao Zimo suddenly heard some news from the news.

"The Qiao Group issued a statement that the heir of the Qiao Group has contacted Xiao Ran for a marriage contract." Hearing this, Qiao Zimo was mixed with joy and sorrow, and being with Xiao Ran was exactly what he had been looking forward to.

At this time, Qiao Zimo understood why Xiao Ran danced in the room in the morning, and he must have seen the news.

Xiao Ran really wanted to separate, but he could only accept it at this time, and let things take their course in the future.

Qiao's has already released the news, and Qiao Zi thought to himself that there was no need to go home, and he still didn't want to go back anyway.

So Qiao Zimo drove back to his residence. As soon as the car arrived downstairs, Qiao Zimo thought that Xiao Ran got out of the car and bought something to eat before he had breakfast.

After a while, Qiao Zimo returned home, opened the door and saw that there was no one in the hall, then walked slowly to the door of Xiao Ran's room, and heard no movement in the room.

Qiao Zimo thought that Xiao Ran had already left, so he knocked on the door hastily.

Xiao Ran just fell asleep when she fell back into the cage, when she heard the rapid knock on the door, she thought something was wrong, so she hurriedly got up and went to open the door.

Seeing Qiao Zimo with an anxious face, "What's the matter, the knock is so loud, I'm still sleeping."

"It's nothing, you can go to sleep!"

"Oh... wait, I brought you some breakfast, you eat before going to bed." Qiao Zimo reached out and handed the things he bought to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran looked at Qiao Zimo and took the breakfast in his hand, "Thank you", Qiao Zimo turned back to the living room without saying anything.

Thinking about going to the dance, Qiao Zimo decided to prepare a set of clothes for Xiao Ran. After thinking about it, he decided that it would be more appropriate to take Xiao Ran to the mall to buy.

"Let's go shopping after you finish eating." Qiao Zimo said standing at the door of the room.

"What! Going to the mall?" Xiao Ran immediately rushed to Qiao Zimo, staring at Qiao Zimo.

Qiao Zimo nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'm fine today anyway."

"Okay, let's go now." Xiao Ran continued.

"You're sure you're leaving now, but you haven't even changed your clothes." Only then did Xiao Ran realize that she was still wearing pajamas.

Xiao Ran quickly closed the door without saying a word, and Xiao Ran came out of the room after a while.

Qiao Zimo looked at Xiao Ran, "How can you be so fast today, when you used to go to work, it took more than half an hour every day."

"Of course, you have to hurry up when you go to the mall, and I haven't been to the mall for a long time, not to mention you have this free labor today, so I must be more active."

Seeing Xiao Ran's excited expression, Qiao Zimo also burst into laughter.

Xiao Ran changed his clothes and pulled Qiao Zimo out the door, and drove straight to the mall. Xiao Ran seemed to have forgotten that he had to leave Qiao Zimo's residence before.

Because of the cancellation of the marriage contract, Xiao Ran became very relaxed. In addition, Qiao Zimo proposed to go shopping, so he naturally forgot all the previous things.

Ever since Xiao Ran and Qiao Zimo came out of Qiao's villa, Song Jingxuan's people had been observing them secretly.

Song Jingxuan naturally knew that Xiao Ran lived at Qiao Zimo's house last night, and he was very angry all the time, so he sent someone to investigate Qiao Zimo in private.

Song Jingxuan had also received an invitation to tonight's dance, but at first thought of rejecting it, but later learned that Qiao Zimo would attend, so he agreed.

If Qiao Zimo would go, he would definitely take Xiao Ran with him, Song Jingxuan thought in his heart, he also wanted to punish Qiao Zimo for tonight's dance, to vent the anger in his heart during this time.

Xiao Ran and Qiao Zimo came to the mall early, just after noon, and there were still very few people in the mall. Xiao Ran saw the layout of the mall at the entrance, and went straight to the women's clothing department on the third floor.

Qiao Zimo just followed Xiao Ran quietly behind him, and the purpose of coming today was to prepare an evening dress for Xiao Ran.

The dazzling array of clothes made Xiao Ran a little confused about where to go. After hesitating for a long time at the stairs, he turned and looked at Qiao Zimo behind him, "You won't laugh at me." Xiao Ran looked a little embarrassed at this time.

"Go and choose, today you are the protagonist." Qiao Zimo said with a smile.

When Xiao Ran heard Qiao Zimo's words, he rushed towards Qiao Zimo and gave Qiao Zimo a big hug.

Qiao Zimo felt the sudden happiness quietly, and suddenly felt that all this was enough.

Of course, Xiao Ran just gave Qiao Zimo a hug from the standpoint of a friend, which Qiao Zimo knew very well in his heart.

"Someone is here, let's go in and have a look." Qiao Zimo said softly.

"I like that one, the yellow one." Xiao Ran said loudly.

In this way, the two stayed in the mall for a whole afternoon. Of course, they also helped Xiao Ran choose the evening dress. In the end, Qiao Zimo couldn't walk, so Xiao Ran reluctantly left.

Qiao Zimo was very happy at first, after all, he went shopping with the person he liked, but he completely underestimated Xiao Ran's ability to go shopping.

Once Xiao Ran started shopping in the mall, he couldn't stop at all, even if he only wanted to look but not buy.

"Did you have fun this afternoon?" Qiao Zimo looked at Xiao Ran and said.

"It's been a long time since I've been so happy. I'm still full of energy. If you hadn't said to leave, we should be able to stroll until the mall closes." Xiao Ran looked at the tired Qiao Zimo and smiled.

"We still have something to do today. I'll go shopping with you next time I have time." Qiao Zimo continued.

Xiao Ran made a very cute expression, "You've performed pretty well this afternoon."

When Qiao Zimo heard Xiao Ran's words, he felt warm in his heart. His long-distance running all afternoon was not in vain, and he walked quickly with the clothes Xiao Ran bought in his hand.

After the two returned home, they tidied up a bit and then went out. Xiao Ran didn't know that what he went to for dinner today was not at all.

Xiao Ran changed into the dress she bought today, and kept asking Qiao Zimo if she looked good in it.

Every time Qiao Zimo answered with a slight smile, seeing Xiao Ran dancing in front of him made him feel very happy.

"It's getting late, let's go if we're ready." Qiao Zimo looked at Xiao Ran and said.

Xiao Ran looked at Qiao Zimo and smiled, "I'm ready." The joy in his heart was beyond words.

Qiao Zimo was indeed very happy, but she was also vaguely worried, thinking about Xiao Ran's reaction when she knew that she was not going to dinner but a dance.

Now Xiao Ran is anxious that Qiao Zimo is going out.

Qiao Zimo drove the car out of the parking lot quickly and was on his way to the misunderstanding. Because the location of today's dance was a little far away, the car drove for a while.

Maybe it's because I've been shopping all afternoon, so I'm a little hungry now, Xiao Ran suddenly asked, "Why have you been driving for so long, or just find a random place."

"The place was set by me before, and it will be there in a while." Qiao Zimo looked at Xiao Ran and smiled.

"Look at you making it so grand, isn't it just a meal!" Xiao Ran continued.

Qiao Zimo didn't say anything this time, but looked at Xiao Ran and smiled meaningfully.

The car immediately fell silent again, until the car drove outside a high-end hotel.

As soon as the car stopped, two waiters came up immediately, looked at Qiao Zimo who got out of the car and said, "Hello, Mr. Qiao, please go to the ninth floor."

Qiao Zimo gave a slight nod to the coming waiter, and then walked directly to the elevator entrance. Of course, Xiao Ran followed Qiao Zimo closely.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the banquet hall on the ninth floor, Qiao Zimo stopped at the door, looked at Xiao Ran and said, "There are masks on the table over there, and we need to wear masks today."

"Wear a mask? Isn't it just the two of us having dinner together today?" Xiao Ran asked coldly.

Xiao Ran felt something was wrong in his heart, he didn't know why he needed to wear a mask while eating.

Looking at Xiao Ran who was full of doubts, Qiao Zimo said, "We are not the only ones attending the banquet today, so we have to wear masks."

Only then did Xiao Ran realize that he had been tricked by Qiao Zimo, thinking that since he had already arrived at the door, he simply went in.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you are here for a banquet?" Xiao Ran said sharply.

Qiao Zimo looked at Xiao Ran helplessly and said, "If I had told you earlier, would you have come?"

The answer is yes, it will come.

"Take it as the last time I invite you. Since everyone is here, I will delay your time for a while." Qiao Zimo said softly.

Xiao Ran didn't say anything, took the mask he liked, put it on, and opened the door directly, seeing a room full of people, and everyone wearing various masks, Xiao Ran was a little excited.
