Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Whispering_1

Thinking of this, she gave a symbolic smile, then, without so much as glancing at Su Ran, said to Su Wanxia, "Wanxia, are you cooking?"

"Yeah, standing in for Mom, hehe."

"Well then, I’ll come help too. I’ve recently learned a new dish."

"Really? That’s great, please come to the kitchen—"

Su Ran watched the two women chatting and laughing as they entered the kitchen, a playful smirk lifting his brow.

For the first time, there was a woman who didn’t pay him any attention. This feeling was both novel and irritating—

"Uncle Ran, Aunty Manman seems not to like you—" Shanshan sweetly stated the facts.

Su Ran looked down at the little guy, "Shanshan, you just don’t understand—she’s just embarrassed, shy..."

Shanshan blinked twice, then gestured to Su Ran with a small hand.

Su Ran raised his eyebrows—

What was this little guy up to?

He bent down and brought his ear close to listen.

Shanshan whispered into his ear, "Uncle Ran, do you know what sexual orientation means?"

Su Ran’s mouth twitched involuntarily. This little princess was so young, yet she knew the term ’sexual orientation.’

"What about it?" he asked in a low voice.

Shanshan leaned in closer to his ear, "Do you know why Aunty Manman doesn’t like you?"

Su Ran silently urged her with his eyes to continue.

"Because my mommy said Aunty Manman has a problem with her sexual orientation—"

"Cough cough—" Su Ran had a fit of coughing, startled by Shanshan’s words.

He looked incredulously at Shanshan, who was keeping a straight face, and said with a half smile, "Shanshan, are you sure your mommy said that?"

Shanshan nodded twice, then tilted her head to think for a moment and crisply said, "Mommy said Aunty Manman is a flowering iron tree that never blooms..."

Upon hearing her words, Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

He’d had a scare, thinking that the one woman he was finally interested in was, unlucky enough, a lesbian.

"Shanshan... from now on you can’t talk like that, or else be careful of your little butt—"

Immediately, Shanshan covered her little mouth, looking up at Su Ran with a face full of grievance.

Su Ran shook his head helplessly, patiently saying, "These are issues only adults should discuss; children shouldn’t say such things."

Shanshan could only blink her eyes silently, nodding without a word. She remembered her mommy saying that this was a question only adults should discuss.

After Su Wanxia and Jian Manhui got to the kitchen, they started to whisper among themselves.

"Wanxia, is that guy your new boyfriend?" Jian Manhui just couldn’t hold back and blurted out her question.

Su Wanxia’s hands trembled, and she nearly tossed the ingredients in her hands again.

What was going on today?

So many shocking questions—

"Manhui, in what way does he look like my new boyfriend?" Su Wanxia didn’t understand, baffled at how she could come up with such an absurd idea.

Seeing the expression on Su Wanxia’s face, Jian Manhui internally breathed a sigh of relief.

"He’s not?"

"He’s not—how could he be my boyfriend?"

"Oh, that’s good, it’s good that he’s not." Jian Manhui’s heart completely relaxed.

"What’s the matter, Manhui? Do you have some thoughts about him? You can’t possibly have fallen in love with him at first sight, can you?" Su Wanxia’s voice got louder as she spoke, wishing that everyone could hear their conversation.

Jian Manhui was speechless. Fall in love with him at first sight? She’d fall in love with a ghost at first sight before she’d fall for that hypocrite.

"No—I thought he was your boyfriend..."

"Then why do you look relieved that he’s not?" Su Wanxia wondered.

Jian Manhui frowned, struggling for a while before saying, "Because I think he’s not a good person—"

Su Wanxia immediately burst into laughter—

It looked like Manhui had a big prejudice against Su Ran. What on earth had that guy done to upset her ace lawyer friend? After all, lawyers are not supposed to be prejudiced. If it weren’t for Su Ran offending her, Manhui would not have made such a statement.

"What’s wrong with him? Today was the first time you two met, right?"

Jian Manhui felt awkward for a moment, "It was the first time, but I just don’t get a good feeling about him."

Su Wanxia almost laughed out loud in her mind. It seemed she’d have to ask Su Ran what he had done to annoy this fair and just lawyer.

"Manhui, actually, Su Ran is quite a nice guy, you’ll know once you get to know him better."

Jian Manhui silently criticized in her heart: Who wants to get to know him better? She didn’t even want to give him another glance.

In order to stop this topic, Jian Manhui also remembered an important issue.

"Wanxia, did you see today’s headline news—"

As soon as Jian Manhui spoke, Su Wanxia’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mhm, I saw it—"

Jian Manhui didn’t expect her to just have such an indifferent expression, and immediately said with full of doubts, "Wanxia, don’t you have any thoughts about it?"

Like going to snatch Mu Yingchen back or something—

Su Wanxia snorted coldly in her heart and then lazily said, "What can I think? He wants to get married, so let him marry. Marry as many times as he likes, what’s it got to do with me..."

Su Wanxia spoke lightly, but Jian Manhui could sense a hint of spite in her words.

It seemed that not having thoughts was false—

She was shocked when she saw it today too. She couldn’t understand if Mu Yingchen’s brain was flooded, suddenly announcing his marriage, and the bride-to-be was that big white lotus, ah—she seriously doubted Mu Yingchen’s taste had declined.

"You really don’t want to tell him—uh—the truth?"

Su Wanxia lowered her eyelashes, "Better not—he should choose his own life anew."

"What about you? Are you just going to spend your life with two kids, not dating, not getting married?" Jian Manhui became anxious.

Su Wanxia looked at her without a word, her tone light, "You don’t have to worry about me. If anyone should worry, it ought to be you. At least I’m a mother already; not dating or marrying is not a big deal for me. What about you? You haven’t even dated once, and your first kiss is still intact on your own lips. Are you planning to continue like this forever? Don’t you want to experience what it’s like to be in love?"

Jian Manhui was rendered speechless by Su Wanxia. She paused for a while before sighing softly, "Love isn’t something to be entered into lightly, carelessly fall into it and you’re stuck for life. I’m not ready to fall into it just yet—"

Su Wanxia frowned, "Manhui, dating doesn’t necessarily mean you have to get married. You could give it a try; the feeling of being in love is quite beautiful, especially your first love—"

Su Wanxia educated Jian Manhui like she was teaching a child, urging her to step into the marriage hall quickly.

But to Jian Manhui, marriage was like a grave.

Not to mention others, just look at the couples around her, which one wasn’t causing uproars, breaking up and making up?

They had to stir up loads of drama and then get married. She really wanted to know what was driving them. If they wanted to marry, they should do it cleanly and swiftly. The dilly-dallying—she was annoyed just by watching them, even if they weren’t.
