Chapter 265: Chapter 263: That’s How Superficial They Are_1

Upon entering, the black and white decor made it clear that the owner of the house was quite capable and efficient.

"Do you live here alone?" Su Ran asked rudely as he circled around the room.

Jian Manhui sat down on the couch with Shanshan, pretending not to hear Su Ran’s behavior and questions.

Just as Su Ran was about to open the master bedroom door, Jian Manhui suddenly stood up from the couch, "That’s my room!"

Was it appropriate for a grown man to casually enter a lady’s room?

Jian Manhui glared at him fiercely.

Su Ran paused his hand movements, then casually cocked his head, "Alright, alright--if you say not to look, I won’t."

Jian Manhui’s heart finally settled. If it were any other time, she wouldn’t mind him looking. But she had changed clothes in a rush earlier, and her bed was a mess. If this man saw it, he would surely mock her endlessly.

"Your place is quite Spartan. There aren’t many superfluous things here, like an aquarium or plants."

Jian Manhui was speechless; she was almost dead from the daily grind at work, with no time to care for such frivolities.

"I’m not someone who appreciates fineries, why would I bother with those?" Jian Manhui rolled her eyes at him.

"Perfect, I’m not someone who appreciates fineries either," Su Ran replied shamelessly.

"Then you two are a great match," Shanshan suddenly chimed in, head held high.

Jian Manhui nearly passed out. What was this little girl saying? A great match? Good heavens!

"Shanshan, you’re spot on with that comment," Su Ran couldn’t help praising Shanshan.

Shanshan chuckled, "Right?"

Jian Manhui was speechless, and she really couldn’t tell if this guy was insane or simply beyond help!

"Shanshan, where did mommy and daddy go for their date?" Not wanting to engage with Su Ran any further, Jian Manhui turned to ask Shanshan about Su Wanxia’s whereabouts.

Shanshan hummed, "I’m not sure, but Uncle Ran and I saw them on the roadside when we were coming here."

Jian Manhui curled her lip, "How romantic..."

"If you want, we could also..."

At Su Ran’s words, Jian Manhui instantly felt like going crazy...

She was about to explode when her phone suddenly rang. She gave Su Ran a warning look, then picked up her phone from the table. Her gaze sharpened when she saw the caller ID—Kang Xiaolan, that heartless woman.

"Xiaolan?" Her tone was one of surprise, wondering what prompted this busy mom to call her.

"Hehe... Manhui, you’re at home, right?" It sounded like a question, but it was more of a certainty.

"Yeah... Qingqing’s mom..." She liked to call her that because her little girl was named Qingqing.

"Then... come over to my place? We can have lunch together," Kang Xiaolan’s tone was unusually polite.

"Xiaolan, why do I feel like you’re up to no good..." Jian Manhui sensed a plot brewing.

"What are you talking about? It’s just that Wanxia and her other half are here, and I thought, let’s have you over, er... no, let’s invite you too... For a get-together among good sisters, Yirou has already been notified, now it’s just you. Oh, and remember to bring that so-and-so as well as Wanxia’s little lady, alright? That’s it, bye..."

Kang Xiaolan rambled on like pouring beans out of a basket, then, without giving Jian Manhui a chance to think or respond, she hung up...

Looking at the disconnected phone screen, Jian Manhui’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. What kind of people were these, deciding things without asking her opinion...

Well, now it’s settled, I have to go... and I have to bring two burdens with me. Jian Manhui felt like crying but had no tears. You see, taking Shanshan is absolutely fine, but having that man follow along? Is that really okay?

"Aunty Manman, what’s wrong?" Shanshan, seeing Jian Manhui’s speechless expression, couldn’t help but ask with confusion.

Jian Manhui snapped back to reality: "Hehe, it’s nothing, just that your mommy asked me to take you to another aunty’s house to play..."

The moment Shanshan heard this, she immediately jumped up excitedly, "Really? Where are we going...?" She loved running around and playing the most.

Jian Manhui saw her excited expression, and couldn’t help but smile helplessly. Children are children after all, loving excitement and fun...

She couldn’t resist reaching out to tap her little nose, "You’ll know when we get there..."

"Hehe."

"And what about me? If I heard correctly, there should be a spot for me too, right?" Su Ran asked nonchalantly.

At the corners of Jian Manhui’s forehead, the muscles twitched uncontrollably. This man was truly shameless, actually eavesdropping on her phone conversation! But Xiaolan was to blame too, her voice was just too loud, it was grating on her ears!

"Let’s go!" Jian Manhui spat out through gritted teeth at Su Ran, then pulled Shanshan up from the couch to stand.

A flicker of surprise passed through Su Ran’s eyes. He hadn’t expected his casual guess to be correct...

All he did was overhear Wanxia’s name, then heard Jian Manhui tell Shanshan that they were going to visit another aunty’s house. So he casually threw out a comment, not expecting that he really had to go with her...

That was fine, it was a good opportunity to foster some feelings...

Thinking this, he got up and walked toward the door.

After the three took the elevator downstairs, Jian Manhui automatically headed towards the parking garage, but was stopped by Su Ran.

"Why drive so many cars? Showing off?" Su Ran stood by the car, speaking unpleasantly with a calm face.

"Aunty Manman, let’s just take one car," Shanshan said, running up to Jian Manhui and pulling her over with her small legs.

Jian Manhui had no choice but to open the rear car door.

She sat in the back, and naturally, Shanshan also followed and sat in the back.

From the driver’s seat, Su Ran looked at the large and small figures seated behind him through the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but smile ruefully.

Sitting in the back, Jian Manhui again started directing Su Ran, just like the scene from last night. Except when giving directions, she barely spoke to Su Ran, ignoring him the rest of the time.

Shanshan found this strange. In her memory, Uncle Ran was always popular with a variety of beautiful women wherever he went. But for some reason, Aunty Manman seemed to always dislike Uncle Ran. Why was that?

Shanshan’s heart couldn’t bear any questions. As long as there was something she didn’t understand, she would persistently seek clarity.

"Aunty Manman... why don’t you like Uncle Ran?"

Shanshan’s crisp question broke the silent atmosphere in the car.

Jian Manhui felt overwhelmed, why did this little tyke have to ask such a question...

When Su Ran heard Shanshan’s question, he inwardly praised the little girl’s wit.

Jian Manhui frowned and thought hard before finally giving the most sincere answer: "Dislike means dislike, I don’t even know why..."

Now it was Shanshan’s turn to frown, "Then why do so many other beautiful women like Uncle Ran?" This was what baffled Shanshan the most.

When Jian Manhui heard Shanshan’s words, she suddenly scoffed with utmost disdain: "That’s because they’re shallow..."
