717: Chapter 717 Duan Tang’s Thoughts (1)
Ruan Xue nodded grimly, hung up the phone, then patted her bitter gourd-like face and walked out of the restroom.
In the lobby of the coffee shop, where An Yiqing was sitting, Duan Tang was still sipping the mango pudding An Yiqing had given him, making Ruan Xue’s temples throb.
Striding forward, Ruan Xue stretched out her hand, snatched the plate from Duan Tang’s hand, and pulled it towards herself.
“Ha, hahaha!
I suddenly felt like having so pudding, Duan Tang bro, you don’t mind, do you?” Ruan Xue said, laughing awkwardly as she looked at the puzzled faces of An Yiqing, Gu Tingting, and the others.
Duan Tang, who had his mango pudding snatched away, was startled at first but then realized Ruan Xue’s intentions.
He shook his head, his gaze gentle, about to speak when the entrance of the coffee shop was pushed open, and Ruan Hao quickly strode in.
“Family Head, Elder Duan has heard that you’re with Miss An and he would like to invite Miss An over to the Duan Family Mansion for a gathering,” Ruan Hao said, compelled to bring up Duan Yuntian, Old Master Duan.
Upon hearing this, An Yiqing imdiately nodded with a smile, “That’s great, I’ve been wanting to visit Grandpa Duan these past few days.
I’ve been so busy I haven’t had the chance to go.
Head Duan, could I hitch a ride to your place later?
You wouldn’t mind, right?”
An Yiqing was going to the Duan Family Mansion, and how could Duan Tang possibly object?
Even if he was busy later, he’d have to find a way to free up his schedule.
As long as it ant being alone with An Yiqing, Duan Tang was naturally overjoyed.
Watching as Ruan Xue quickly finished off over half of the remaining mango pudding in the plate, the usually stern-faced Ruan Hao couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
He silently scorned Duan Tang in his heart, for whenever Miss An appeared, his own family head’s IQ seed to drop into negative numbers.
After the al, An Yiqing, Gu Tingting, Ruan Xue, and Tang Lin chatted for a while longer, then parted ways reluctantly.
Before leaving, Tang Lin cast a aningful glance at An Yiqing and said in a low voice, “You deserve to be happy.
If General Gu ever treats you poorly, make sure you tell .”
An Yiqing smiled and nodded, watching as Tang Lin and the others left before getting into Duan Tang’s car.
In the car, Ruan Hao sat in the passenger seat, while Duan Tang and An Yiqing took their seats in the back.
This rare mont alone made even the usually composed Duan Tang’s heartbeat accelerate.
The woman he liked was right beside him, within arm’s reach, her faint scent constantly enveloping his sense of sll.
There were a few monts of silence before Duan Tang, with a sidelong glance at An Yiqing, who was looking out the window, gently parted his lips and his deep, pleasant voice filled the space.
“You’re getting engaged to General Gu?”
An Yiqing turned from looking outside, blinked at Duan Tang, and said with a hint of confusion, “Didn’t you already get the invitation?
I sent it to you as soon as I could.”
“I did receive it, just wanted to confirm again,” Duan Tang replied with a gentle smile, “Are all the details of the engagent party settled?”
“Well, I’m not too clear on that.
I’ve been busy with dicine Sect matters lately; the engagent party has been handled by my parents and the Gu Family.”
Duan Tang sighed, shaking his head helplessly, his gentle eyes full of tenderness, “You, the person involved, really have it easy, not knowing anything.
Anyone who doesn’t know better would think it’s soone else’s engagent party.”
An Yiqing blinked her eyes, her gaze soft and tender as she quietly explained, “The engagent party is just a ceremony after all.
Even without it, the feelings between Ah Lin and
won’t change.”
Upon hearing An Yiqing’s words, seeing the determination, perseverance, and deep unwavering affection in her eyes, a trace of bitterness surfaced in Duan Tang’s heart.
Yes, she and Gu Yelin’s relationship had always been so solid; it didn’t leave room for anyone else.
Wherever they were, others seed to be re outsiders.
Even soone as detached as he couldn’t help but feel envious.
