She glanced around and felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat. She dared not stay any longer, grabbed her bag, and quickly fled.
Returning from class, she saw that Fan Li was no longer in the office. Fan Rou wasn’t surprised and tidied up a bit before taking the bus back to her rented small apartnt.
She stayed there when she had no classes during the day, returning only at night, and occasionally visiting Lan Shao.
However, today Lan Shao needed to go for a follow-up appointnt, and she had to accompany him.
She pulled out her phone, intending to call Lan Shao, only to find several missed calls from Ye Ranran.
Thinking sothing might have happened, she quickly called back.
"Ranran, dear, what happened to you?" Fan Rou asked concernedly as soon as the call connected.
"Haha, you still rember ?" Ye Ranran scoffed coldly.
"How could you say that? If I don’t rember you, who would I rember? From your tone, are you missing ?" Fan Rou asked playfully.
"You’re overthinking. I barely have enough energy to miss my husband and kids, would I really think about you?" She refused the idea of sentintal fantasy.
"Your tone suggests you are missing . I miss you too. Are you coming back today?" Fan Rou’s voice dripped with sweetness.
She had no other close family, and now she regarded Ye Ranran as her only family, so naturally, she cherished her.
Fan Rou felt that even if Ye Ranran asked for her life, she would willingly give it.
"I’m on the bus, won’t be there till five or six in the afternoon. What were you doing last night? Why didn’t you answer my calls?" She was worried she might have gotten into trouble.
"Sothing happened last night, but I’m okay now. I’m planning to go with Lan Shao for his follow-up later." This was Fan Rou’s way of indicating she was fine, with no issues.
"Alright, let know if anything cos up." Being able to accompany Lan Shao for a check-up suggested she was okay.
However, Ye Ranran was still uneasy. After hanging up, she called Lan Shao.
Upon learning that Fan Rou indeed planned to accompany him for the follow-up today, Ye Ranran finally felt her restless heart settle.
"You are really cautious." Shen Yuzhe looked at her unexpectedly, "But doesn’t this suggest you distrust Fan Rou?"
"No, you’re mistaken. It’s not distrust. I’m just afraid sothing might happen to her. She’s stubborn and wouldn’t ntion problems even if there are any. I worry about her."
Recently, the Fan Family has been chaotic, and she wanted to keep Fan Rou safe.
Without her, she truly had no friends, just her husband and his circle of buddies all day.
Life was tough.
The car finally arrived in City B at five in the afternoon, passing by the governnt building, which was under construction.
Listening to the machinery noise, Ye Ranran asked the driver to stop.
She pushed open the car door and stood in front of the construction site, staring.
It wouldn’t be long before there was a new building here, and by then, everything that had happened—good or bad—would be covered up.
At that mont, her phone rang; it was Jun Mochan calling.
Upon hearing the rumbling noise on her end, his hand paused for a mont, "Where are you?"
"On the street. I’ve returned." So he could rest assured.
"Which street? Why is there so much noise?"
"The old office building," Ye Ranran’s voice was slightly lancholic.
No matter what, this was all because of her. Building this new structure would definitely cost a lot.
Ye Ranran felt a pang.
"It’s all dust and noise; why are you standing there? If there’s nothing pressing, hurry back, or co over to . You can keep company."
