The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Finally Understand What Love Is!

“Uncle Chu is amazing, huh?”

Jian Dan turned to look at Chu Liyuan, who wore an expression of calm indifference.

“Jian~ we’re here~” Xia Mengjiao’s voice rang out.

It was only then that Jian Dan remembered the purpose of their visit that day.

“Well then, congratulations to you both, you’ve just gotten together, you must want to spend some alone time in your own little world! Let’s all eat separately then!” Jian Dan said somewhat unnaturally.

Molly and Meng Ran both noticed Jian Dan’s odd behavior. “Sis, you wouldn’t be hiding something from us that you don’t want us to know, would you?”

“Why would I?” Jian Dan glanced at Molly, continuously signaling her “right, Uncle?”

“Is it about Mo Mo?” Meng Ran spoke up.

“You…” This feeling of being caught was very uncomfortable.

“Looking at the two of you, if I couldn’t figure it out, I’d have to be really dense!

You don’t have to worry about me, I’m fine!” Meng Ran spoke calmly.

Just then, Mo Mo arrived. “You~ how could you?”

From Mo Mo’s expression, it was clear she was feeling uncomfortable.

“Talk?” Meng Ran asked calmly.

“Okay!”

“Wait for me here!” Meng Ran said, squeezing Molly’s hand.

Molly obediently nodded her head.

After Mo Mo and Meng Ran left, Jian Dan leaned close to Molly and whispered, “Aren’t you jealous?”

“A little! But~ I trust him!”

Seeing Molly so confident, Jian Dan couldn’t help but be curious about what exactly happened between them.

“I just saw Mo Mo and Meng Ran together outside just now, what exactly is going on now?”

Yuanyuan and Sizhe also arrived, Sizhe sitting next to Chu Liyuan, while Yuanyuan approached Jian Dan and asked.

“Don’t ask me, I have no idea!”

“Ah? You don’t know?”

“Yuanyuan, you make it sound like I’m so nosy!”

“Aren’t you?” Yuanyuan’s instinctive reaction made Jian Dan helplessly shut her mouth.

“Oh! I accidentally told the truth!” Yuanyuan said, covering her mouth.

“I think you’ve been with Sizhe for too long, you’ve started picking up his bad habits!” Jian Dan said with arms crossed and in annoyance.

“Truths are usually unpleasant to hear!” Sizhe teased as well.

“Sizhe, you’ve gotten pretty bold, haven’t you? Even daring to tease me? Aren’t you afraid Uncle Chu will deal with you?” Jian Dan said, looking towards Chu Liyuan.

But Chu Liyuan continued sipping his tea with an expressionless face, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

“Uncle, why aren’t you saying anything? He’s bullying me!”

“I was thinking about something else just now and didn’t hear anything!”

“Huh?” Chu Liyuan is someone capable of multitasking, who’d believe that he didn’t hear!

Sizhe looked at Jian Dan and stuck out his tongue in a sort of schadenfreude.

Jian Dan now wore a face full of grievance and confusion. “Uncle~”

Chu Liyuan just smiled and said nothing~

Because of Jian Jian’s gossipy nature, their alone time had diminished significantly. If only Jian Jian could be less nosy, that would be nice!

“Mengjiao~” Jian Dan turned to Mengjiao for help.

“Um, honey, haven’t you been here before? The food here is really good, take a look!” Mengjiao handed the menu to Li Jing, without paying any heed to Jian Dan.

If Chu Liyuan tacitly agreed, who would dare to object!

Jian Dan turned away in a huff.

Seeing Jian Jian puffed up in anger, Chu Liyuan’s lips curled up into a smile; even her angry look was adorable.

“Meng Ran, I’m sorry!” The first thing Mo Mo said to Meng Ran.

“You don’t need to apologize to me in matters of the heart, there’s never any right or wrong!”

“You~” Mo Mo felt that the Meng Ran before her seemed like a different person from the one she knew.

“Two days ago, I wouldn’t have known I could say such things either!” Meng Ran said with a self-deprecating smile. “But then, someone showed me what love is.”

“You’re talking about Molly?”

“Yes! I’ve only known her for a few days, but for some reason, I’ve come to like her a great deal.

If someone had told me a few days ago that I would fall for someone this much, I would never have believed it! But now, reality has proven it to me.”

Mo Mo truly couldn’t believe these were words coming out of Meng Ran’s mouth.

When she was with Meng Ran before, their relationship had been very comfortable and relaxed, without arguments, and of course, without palpitations.

Looking back, their interactions seemed more like those between friends.

“Looks like you’ve fallen for her?” Mo Mo said with a smile.

“I think~ yes!

It wasn’t until I met Molly that I realized our being together was just because we were suitable!”

“You’re right!”

“So you haven’t wronged me, because I’m fully aware that when you wanted to marry me, you were serious!”

Seeing Meng Ran’s relaxed expression, the guilt in Mo Mo’s heart finally eased a bit. “Thank you, Meng Ran!”

“Still friends?”

“Of course!”

The two exchanged a smile~
