Sang Ran was just being polite to Shen Jinshan, but she didn't expect him to ask for dinner tonight so directly.

To be honest, she was not an ungrateful person, but she really didn't want to eat alone with this man.

Yan Qi's instructions were still echoing in her ears.

If possible, she would rather give Shen Jinshan money and let him eat by himself. But this is obviously not polite.

She thought for a long time, but before she could find a suitable reason, she heard the school bell ringing.

Sang Ning is out of school.

Sang Ran's attention was briefly diverted, and he looked towards the school gate. The two little kids came out very quickly, still walking out together, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

"Mom!" Sang Ning trotted forward and hugged Sang Ran.

Sang Ran also squatted down to greet them. Compared to them, the relationship between the father and son next to them seemed a little cold.

Shen Jinshan simply took the boy's schoolbag and then looked at Sang Ning with a smile: "Ning Ning, how about having dinner with Ze Ze tonight?"

He sensed Sang Ran's reluctance and threw the question directly to Sang Ning.

Shen Ze was wearing a pair of overalls, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Really, Dad?"

Sang Ning also raised his head to confirm with Sang Ran.

Sang Ran: “…”

She had no choice but to force a smile: "Your name is Shen Ze? Yes, come and have dinner with us tonight. Your father helped me, and Auntie will treat you to a delicious meal."

"Good!"

Shen Jinshan always had a faint smile on his face, but the smile was only on the surface and it was impossible to see his true thoughts.

Sang Ran asked for their opinions and finally chose a children's theme restaurant.

Although it is called a children's theme, there is actually nothing particularly outstanding about the food. It just adds desserts and fried foods that children like.

The important thing is that while waiting for the meal, children can go to the restaurant's play area, which has many special play equipment.

The four of them took Shen Jinshan's car and soon arrived at their destination.

They chose a seat by the window on the second floor, and the waiter came over with menus and asked them to order.

He glanced at the four people and recommended considerately: "We have a family meal here, you can also take a look, it's just right for a family of four or five."

Sang Ran pursed her lips and handed the menu to Shen Jinshan awkwardly: "Take a look at what you want to eat."

Shen Jinshan's glasses always reflected light. He lowered his head and glanced casually before handing the menu back to the waiter: "Let's have the family set."

He didn't feel awkward about the name, and Sang Ran automatically ignored the surprise.

"Okay, I'll prepare your meal right away. Go straight ahead from here and turn right to the amusement facilities. You can let the children play there for a while." The waiter smiled and said, "Do you need me to take you there?"

The two children excitedly followed the waiter and left.

Only Sang Ran and Shen Jinshan were left at the table, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Sang Ran pretended to look around, her eyes never falling on Shen Jinshan. She was just looking around casually, but she actually discovered a magical phenomenon.

She asked Shen Jinshan curiously, "Isn't this a family restaurant? Why are there so many young couples here?"

Sang Ran was not very familiar with this restaurant, so he could only ask the local aborigines who had lived there for many years.

Shen Jinshan glanced at it casually: "Oh, it seems that there is a double package launched recently, which seems to be quite interesting. It will give away photos and photo frames, so many young people come to check in."

"I see." Sang Ran nodded.

Shen Jinshan took the initiative to add water to her cup. In fact, Sang Ran hadn't drunk any water just now, but the waiter was not satisfied.

She took it with both hands and said unnaturally: "I'll do it myself, you're too polite."

Shen Jinshan's hand accidentally touched Sang Ran. He silently withdrew it and looked at Sang Ran: "Why do I feel like you are afraid of me?"

"Is there?" Sang Ran took a sip of water. "I feel a little awkward with people I don't know well."

Shen Jinshan didn't comment: "Then...how can I get to know you better? Maybe I can call you Ranran?"

Sang Ran was stunned and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

"Haha, I was just joking." Shen Jinshan chuckled, "I just want to tell you that you don't have to be so restrained when you're with me. I don't have any bad intentions."

"Ah."

Maybe, he is just a nice guy who is nice to everyone.

Shen Jinshan took the initiative to change the subject: "How is your relationship with your husband?"

Sang Ran finally understood why the man in front of her made her feel uncomfortable. He was polite in his behavior, but every time he opened his mouth, he was prying into her personal privacy.

No one wants to expose their personal privacy to a stranger.

"It's okay." Sang Ran replied indifferently.

It seemed that time was passing unusually slowly. Sang Ran used the excuse of going to the bathroom and got a brief chance to catch his breath.

She was trying hard to recall Shen Jinshan's previous behavior, considering whether she should try to avoid having too much contact with him in the future.

He just gave Sang Ran an invitation letter, which obviously could not be a reason for Sang Ran to dislike him. It was just that compared with ordinary people, his attitude was too enthusiastic.

Well-meaning, a little too much.

She stood in front of the sink for a while, and went back when she felt less depressed.

Sang Ran subconsciously glanced at the cup. Shen Jinshan added more water to her cup while she was away.

"By the way, I have a friend who opened a design class in the next province. He is very professional. I plan to go there before the competition. Are you interested?" Shen Jinshan suddenly mentioned it. He emphasized, "He may be able to estimate the topic of the design competition. He has always been very accurate in his estimation."

Sang Ran became interested: "How many days?"

"Three days. Calculating the time, we have to set off tomorrow, otherwise we will miss the competition." Shen Jinshan said.

Three days means staying in the neighboring province for three days and three nights.

Sang Ran saw Shen Jinshan take off his glasses and wipe them with the cloth from his suit's breast pocket.

She finally looked into Shen Jinshan's eyes without any obstruction.

He had a pair of single eyelids with slightly upturned corners. Undisguised, aggressive eyes, as if everything around him was his prey, an NPC in his world of play.

She rejected Shen Jinshan's kindness without any hesitation and silently withdrew her hand that was about to pick up the water cup.

Shen Jinshan saw all of this with his peripheral vision.

"Sang Ran?" Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

Sang Ran looked up and saw Li Chuchu and Ning Xiaogu.

They came out, and it was almost time, so Sang Ran had forgotten about this matter.

The waiter who was guiding the two people in front of them was very considerate: "Do you know each other? Then sit at the next table."

Li Chuchu walked straight over. She looked much thinner and had obviously suffered a lot during this period.

She looked at Sang Ran and Shen Jinshan, and all her thoughts were revealed.

Shen Jinshan stood up with a smile: "Do you know each other? Hello, my name is Shen Jinshan."

"Yes, hello, I am Sang Ran's sister, Li Chuchu." Li Chuchu had obviously learned her lesson and did not rush to settle the score with Sang Ran like a bomb.

Ning Xiaogu's face didn't look very good, and he obviously felt it was unlucky to meet Sang Ran here.

She lost her job and even had a criminal record, which made it difficult for her to do anything in the future. And the instigator of all this was Sang Ran.

She is still sitting here safe and sound.
