Ji Xuan smiled and suddenly reached out to grab Liang Ran’s waist, pulling her into his arms.

Liang Ran exclaimed in surprise and quickly reached out to wrap her arms around Ji Xuan’s neck.

Ji Xuan pressed the back of her head and moved closer. Their faces were almost touching each other.

He looked straight into Liang Ran’s eyes. “Liang Ran, I can’t just give without receiving anything in return.”

Liang Ran smiled slightly and press her lips against Ji Xuan’s. She mimicked Ji Xuan’s movements and carefully rubbed his warm lips.

However, she was still inexperienced and couldn’t get the gist of it. Ji Xuan couldn’t hold it anymore and took over, rolling his lips against hers and pursuing her tongue in her mouth.

…

Liang Ran panted slightly and rested her head on Ji Xuan’s shoulder to calm her disordered breathing.

“Can we wait until tonight?” Liang Ran requested in a pleasing tone.

Ji Xuan’s hand slowly slid on her back. Hearing this, he said in a deep and cold voice, “You don’t have the right to negotiate yet.”

Liang Ran was speechless, and since Ji Xuan had agreed, she wanted to rush back to the company to hold a short meeting and get someone to start working on the plan.

However, it was obviously impossible now. Liang Ran compromised and placed her hand on Ji Xuan’s chest. She loosened his tie first and then unbuttoned his shirt one by one.

Ji Xuan didn’t move. Seeing that Liang Ran was taking her time, he said in a low voice, “Too slow.”

With that, he unbuttoned all the buttons himself.

His muscular build was exposed, and Liang Ran’s face turned slightly red. Although it was not the first time she had seen it, she still couldn’t help blushing. Ji Xuan’s figure was really good. He belonged to the type that looked thin with clothes but had muscle without.

“You…”

The sharp ringtone interrupted Ji Xuan’s words.

Ji Xuan’s face turned sallow and Liang Ran looked embarrassed. She felt as if someone had been watching them. She took out her phone in embarrassment.

It was an unfamiliar number. Liang Ran picked it up.

A smiling voice came from the other end. “Ranran, is everything done? Would you do me the honor to join me for dinner tonight?”

Liang Ran subconsciously glanced at Ji Xuan and saw that Ji Xuan’s expression was very bad. She thought to herself, “I haven’t finished yet. I’m just about to do it.”

“Mr. Fan, there’s no need for dinner. I…”

Fan Ze interrupted her, “Ranran, don’t be so ruthless. I know that the Fan Family has gone too far this time, but I didn’t know it. If I were here, I definitely wouldn’t let things develop to this point. Let’s meet and have a talk.”

Liang Ran did not speak.

Fan Ze said again, “Just do me a favor. We still have some friendship left, right?”

Liang Ran was in a dilemma. She couldn’t directly refuse Fan Ze, but even without looking, she could feel Ji Xuan’s cold gaze on her, as if he wanted to bore a hole through her.

Fan Ze waited for a moment but didn’t get an answer. He continued, “How about your favorite sushi restaurant?”

Liang Ran said, “That shop has closed down.”

Fan Ze hesitated, which was rare. Then he smiled and said, “Then you can have whatever you want.”

Suddenly, a light sound came from beside her. Liang Ran looked over in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Ji Xuan fiddling with a chair.

Liang Ran dared to say no more, “Mr. Fan, I don’t have time right now. If you have something to discuss, we can talk later.”

Fan Ze was silent for a moment before he said, “Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Liang Ran looked over to see Ji Xuan holding a cigarette between his slender fingers and blowing out smoke.

Liang Ran tidied up the documents on the table and looked at Ji Xuan. “I’m not going back for dinner tonight.”

Ji Xuan put out the cigarette and his gaze shot over like a cold light. His expression was as cold as ice. “Liang Ran, I remember telling you not to have any relationships with any man for a year.”

Liang Ran was stunned for a moment before she realized that Ji Xuan had probably misunderstood. She smiled as if she was not afraid of Ji Xuan’s terrifying gaze at all. She walked up to Ji Xuan and said, “Of course I didn’t forget. Were you jealous just now?”

Ji Xuan snorted. “Do you think that’s possible?”

Of course not. Liang Ran was just joking. However, Ji Xuan’s reaction just now made her think of the most impossible possibility.

“Since you’ve accepted the money, you should abide by the agreement.” Ji Xuan said coldly.

Liang Ran nodded and confessed. “The person called just now was Fan Ze, Fan Jin’s elder brother. He asked me to introduce him to you. He wants to meet you.”
