After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Lu Ranran was not too surprised.

She had known about Lu Keke and Shen Beiyu's engagement for a long time, and it was only a matter of time before they got engaged.

However, Lu Ranran was a little surprised that they were going to get engaged at the Shen’s annual meeting.

This is somewhat like an announcement to shareholders that Shen and Lu have joined forces, and it has some connotations of a political marriage.

Lu Ranran has lived in the Lu family for so many years. Although she lives a frustrating and low-key life, she has also been exposed to some of the feuds among the wealthy families.

To them, marriage is nothing more than a tool for exchanging and binding interests.

Although it cannot be said that there is no emotion at all, there is not much either.

Lu Ranran couldn't help but think of her union with Shen Xiling.

It's probably all about interests between them, right?

An inexplicable bitterness gradually spread in her heart. Lu Ranran smiled bitterly. She was obviously pursuing profit at first, but now she was secretly sad. What was going on?

Could it be that I am...

Lu Ranran took a few mouthfuls of rice, trying to use the stimulation of her taste buds to drive away the terrible thoughts that had just appeared in her mind.

At this moment, the cell phone in my pocket started vibrating.

Lu Ranran bit the chopsticks, took out her cell phone and looked at it, and suddenly she exerted force between her teeth unconsciously.

It’s Shen Xiling.

"Looking at the weather forecast, it might rain."

"Did you bring an umbrella?"

Although it was an extremely common inquiry, Lu Ranran felt a sudden pain in her teeth for no reason. Only then did she realize that she was actually biting the chopsticks.

Lu Keke caught a glimpse of Lu Ranran's dazed face after receiving the invitation letter. She thought Lu Ranran was too sad, and a sense of victory rose in her heart.

She pressed on to win:

"Although I have no choice but to announce it at the Shen's annual meeting..."

"But my fiancé and I have been childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship."

"So we don't want the situation to be too stiff, so we made an exception and invited many friends to the annual meeting. It would be great if everyone could come."

As she spoke, she had that shy and sweet smile on her face.

It is a happy smile that belongs exclusively to the bride.

People around me are naturally very supportive. Besides, we are all screenwriters, and what we like most is to see the world and collect materials.

Lu Ranran was stunned when she heard the words "the relationship is very good".

Others don’t know, but she suddenly remembered that Shen Beiyu didn’t like Lu Keke when he was a child, but Lu Keke just liked to pester Shen Beiyu.

He even took his anger out on Lu Ranran, just because Shen Beiyu and Lu Ranran were still talkable.

If this can be said to be a "good relationship", it is enough for two people to get married.

Then she and Shen Xiling got married after just meeting each other once, doesn't that mean their love is "stronger than gold"?

Lu Ranran suddenly stood up.

Looking at the question in the dialog box, Lu Ranran's mind sank and he responded:

"I don't have an umbrella, can you come pick me up?"

After sending it, Lu Ranran stared blankly at the phone screen for a long time.

Until Xu Yuan called her:

"What's wrong? Are you full already?"

Lu Ranran just woke up from her emotions in a trance.

Seeing that there was no reply to the message, Lu Ranran felt empty inside and felt that she was asking for trouble.

So he added another sentence.

"Just send a car to pick me up, like when I go to work. I feel like it's hard to get a taxi on a rainy day."

After saying that, he put the phone back into his pocket and started to concentrate on eating.

After Shen Xiling sent the message asking about "bringing an umbrella", he considered how to propose "picking her up from get off work" in a more reasonable way.

Unexpectedly, the other party said something so bluntly, which rarely caused Shen Xiling's brain to freeze for a few minutes.

After finally calming his crazy heartbeat, Shen Xiling's fingertips were about to type the word "OK".

As a result, news came from the other side again.

It was obvious that he had said these extra words to prevent Shen Xiling from misunderstanding.

The little flame that had just ignited in Shen Xiling's heart was suddenly extinguished by a basin of water.

He suddenly didn't know what to do.

Since getting married, Shen Xiling has been tormented by a sense of inferiority.

He felt that he was just taking advantage of the situation and using the so-called "exchange of interests" to force Lu Ranran to his side.

But on the other hand, he found himself unable to resist this "despicable" temptation.

He wanted Lu Ranran to open her heart to him, wanted to occupy a unique place in her heart, he wanted... he wanted...

Shen Xiling pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

He had never felt so helpless and scared when he was working hard on his doctoral thesis or standing alone in front of the board of directors to face questioning.

At this moment, a phone call interrupted Shen Xiling's thoughts.

When he glanced at the caller ID, Shen Xiling frowned.

Finally, I pressed the connect button.

A pleasant male voice came from the receiver.

"How is it? Did my dish today receive any positive reviews?"

"Or do you have any suggestions for improvement? You know, I specially chose -"

The person who called was Shen Xiling's good friend from college, and the owner and chef behind Jianye - Gu Nianzhi.

Shen Xiling was feeling annoyed and only replied with two words.

"good."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few minutes. He didn't get angry because of the indifference, but just asked:

"What's bothering you?"

Shen Xiling was somewhat surprised by Gu Nianzhi's sharpness.

I hesitated for a while between hanging up the phone and asking for help.

Finally, Shen Xiling said:

"I have a question."

"You said."

"If...if you want to do something but are afraid that the other person won't like it..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

For a moment, Shen Xiling thought that there might be something wrong with his brain, otherwise why would he ask Gu Nianzhi for help.

Just when he decided to hang up the phone in a hurry, Gu Nianzhi said:

"I don't understand any big principles, but didn't you tell me this problem at the beginning?"

“If you don’t move forward, you don’t know the outcome.”

“Many difficulties are imagined.”

At this moment, a roar resounded through the sky, carrying the power to shatter the world.

The sky was covered with thick clouds, and the day was as dark as night.

It looks like it's going to rain heavily.

I don’t know if it’s because I ate too much during lunch break, or if this weather is just suitable for sleeping.

Lu Ranran felt groggy the whole afternoon.

The crackling sound of the keyboard has a hypnotic effect comparable to that of a powerful sleeping pill.

On the screen are the "learning materials" recommended by Wu Zhi.

The men and women on the screen laughed, cried, ran, and hugged each other.

Lu Ranran sat in front of the screen and nodded. The progress bar was halfway through, and she had no idea what had just happened.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom".

Lu Ranran woke up suddenly and turned her head to look.

The glass windows were already covered with raindrops.
