Chapter 251: Chapter 249: Communicating with Eyes_1

Su Father and Su Mother hugged Shanshan and kissed her before asking with a hint of confusion, "Shanshan, where’s your daddy? Why didn’t he come with you?"

Shanshan replied with the same sentence she had given Su Ran earlier, "Daddy and Mommy are together."

Upon hearing this, Su Mother asked in surprise, "You found your mommy?"

Shanshan nodded, "Mhm, we found her, not far from here."

"Oh, haha, that’s good, that’s good," Su Mother said before casually asking, "Then why didn’t they come back? Where did they go?"

Jian Manhui was about to say they would be back soon, but Shanshan had already spoken, "Aunty Manman said they are exchanging sweet nothings, so we came back first."

As soon as she finished, the room fell into a somewhat awkward silence, except for Su Ran, who, upon hearing Shanshan’s words, shook his head with a laugh. This little girl was just too adorable.

Su Father and Su Mother laughed unnaturally for a moment and didn’t press further.

Having heard that much, they could put two and two together even with their fingertips.

Jian Manhui felt like crying without tears at this point. If Wanxia found out it was her who had told her precious daughter such things, she would definitely have a bone to pick with her.

As soon as Shanshan returned, Su Father and Su Mother were full of questions, asking her where she had been these past two days, whom she had seen, and whether they had been kind to her.

Shanshan finally felt a sense of presence once again and, happy with her mood, energetically answered everything Su Father and Su Mother asked because she indeed had had a lot of fun in the past two days.

"I met grandma and another great-grandpa," Shanshan said with a delighted face.

The others in the room felt a bit uneasy upon hearing her words, and Su Ran couldn’t help but ask, "Were your grandma and great-grandpa nice to you? Did they like you?"

Upon hearing this, Shanshan immediately raised her little chin with pride and said, "Of course, I’m so adorable, they definitely liked me."

Her little demeanor instantly brought laughter to everyone.

By 6 in the evening, there was still no sign of Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen, so Su Mother suggested they have dinner first.

After all, both Su Ran and Manhui were present. They couldn’t just keep waiting indefinitely.

Jian Manhui had wanted to leave for a while, but she couldn’t decline the persistent invitations of Su Father, Su Mother, and Shanshan, so she decided to stay. As for the insistent words Su Ran had said, she chose to ignore them.

In fact, the more she did this, the more interested Su Ran became in her. It seemed men were flawed in that way, the less you cared for them, the less you wanted to glance their way, the more they sought to pursue you and win you over.

After dinner, which was nearing eight o’clock, there was still no sign of Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen. Everyone knew the couple was together, and after being apart for such a time, they probably wanted more time to themselves, so no one sought to call and hurry them.

It was instead Shanshan who kept wanting to call her Daddy and Mommy, but every time she mentioned it, everyone else rejected the idea, which made the little one’s mood drop again. After a good deal of coaxing and teasing from everyone, she perked up.

Jian Manhui sat for a while longer before standing up to say goodbye.

Su Ran immediately rose from the sofa, a smile crossing his handsome face as he played the host and escorted Jian Manhui out the door.

Jian Manhui thought he would only see her to the doorway, but to her surprise, he followed her out as soon as they reached the door.

She immediately turned her head to look at him, and irate expression flashing in her eyes as she said with ill temper, "What are you following me for?"

Su Ran curved his lips. "To escort you."

"Thanks, but you’ve already escorted me out, so you can go back now."

Jian Manhui finished speaking, unwilling to look at his handsome face any longer, and turned to leave.

"It’s so late now, I’d worry if I didn’t see you home," Su Ran continued to follow behind her, his tone calm and natural, as if saying he would take her home meant he had to.

Jian Manhui heard what he said, halted abruptly, then looked at him with disbelief.

"Are you mistaken? We’re hardly acquainted, and Mr. Su, even later than this, I’ve always made my own way home. So thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it--"

Having said that, Jian Manhui turned and continued walking forward.

Su Ran kept following her, and amid this stop-and-go, they had already reached the Su Family’s front gate, where Jian Manhui’s car was parked.

Jian Manhui, hearing the man still behind her, became annoyed, seemingly feeling that having reached the Su Family’s gate, she abruptly turned and said irritatedly to Su Ran, "I said I don’t need it, can’t you understand human speech?"

Jian Manhui’s temper was actually quite good. In the past, when men pursued her, even if she was bothered, she always politely told them she wasn’t interested.

Moreover, most of the men who chased her were also quite accomplished, and when told off to their faces like that, they chose to give up, which Jian Manhui found satisfactory.

But now, the man standing in front of her, with his handsome face, had in her eyes upgraded to the level of shameless.

It was really hard not to lose her temper!

Su Ran looked at the woman across from him, her face full of annoyance, and although he doubted his own charm for a moment, he soon put on his sardonic smile again, "No, it’s not that I don’t understand human speech, just that I don’t understand animal language."

Jian Manhui was instantly furious, her whole body trembling with rage. This man was truly despicable, shameless!

Just as she was about to curse out loud, the man across from her gave a casual smile and leaned back against her car with his arms folded.

"But you’re different, you’re like a cute little wild cat. I’ve been rather fond of cats since I was young, so I can manage to communicate with a cat with a glance or two. You can try to communicate with me with your eyes; that way, I’ll be able to understand what you’re saying--"

"Hypocrite, shameless!" Jian Manhui could no longer hold back the anger in her heart and bellowed at Su Ran’s handsome face. To think, she, a renowned lawyer, eloquent and articulate, had never been driven to swear like this! This man wasn’t behaving like a real man at all!

Su Ran suddenly stood up from the car, then dropped his folded arms and slipped his hands into his pockets, teasingly watching Jian Manhui.

"So this is how you see me?" he asked as he slowly approached, causing Jian Manhui to instinctively back away toward the car door.

"That’s exactly what you are!"

"Then go on and tell me what exactly I am in your eyes," Su Ran said, his interest piqued. He genuinely wanted to know what this woman thought of him.

Jian Manhui, hearing his words, couldn’t help but huff, "A lunatic!"

Then she ignored him, pulled out her car keys, and pressed to unlock. With a click, she was about to pull open the car door when the keys in her hand were suddenly yanked away by Su Ran, who had approached unnoticed.
