Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Satire and Targeting

Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xiuyun were talking, and although Wen Ran did not lower her head, her eyes were cast downwards the entire time.

Even so, she still caught sight of Fu Chenlie’s gaze on her face from the corner of her eye. It was clearly detached, yet it gave her the illusion that she was about to be tortured.

Amidst her panic, Wen Ran heard Mr. Zhao say goodbye to Fu Chenlie, "Mr. Fu, we’ll be taking our leave now."

"President Zhao, please, feel free to go," Fu Chenlie maintained his usual social tone.

After Mr. Zhao left, Zhao Xiuyun stared at her and said, "Let’s go, Ranran, I’ll drive you home."

"Actually, I can take the subway home by myself."

"It’s fine, you’ve helped me out so much today. It would be really rude of me to let you go back on your own, I’ll take you."

Just as Wen Ran was about to reply to Zhao Xiuyun, she saw Fu Chenlie open the passenger car door for Xu Tong. Xu Tong happily bent down to get in, and after sitting down, she gave Fu Chenlie a look that was filled with affection.

Fu Chenlie returned her a gentle smile before closing the car door. Then, he walked around the front of the car, got into the driver’s seat, and drove off.

Throughout the entire process, he did not give Wen Ran a single glance.

After they left, Zhao Xiuyun spoke up, puzzled, "Ranran, why didn’t you greet your boss just now?"

"He doesn’t like it when I talk to him in private."

"Your boss seems quite aloof, but I saw he was quite attentive to his girlfriend just now."

Wen Ran chose not to comment, "Weren’t you going to take me home? Let’s go."

"Yeah, get in," Zhao Xiuyun said as he opened the car door.

Wen Ran gave Zhao Xiuyun an address to a neighborhood very close to the Huan Island Villa.

On the way, she couldn’t help but think about what Fu Chenlie and Xu Tong might have been talking about over dinner tonight. Jiang Wan Ning, perhaps?

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Xiuyun’s car stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood Wen Ran had directed.

As she unbuckled her seat belt, Zhao Xiuyun spoke, "Shall I walk you in?"

Wen Ran was startled and quickly refused, "No need, it’s getting late. You should head home quickly."

"It’s no problem, what is there for a grown man to be afraid of?"

"Really, there’s no need."

With that, she got out of the car and, before closing the door, she said to Zhao Xiuyun, "I’ll watch you leave, then I’ll head home after you’re gone."

"I’d like to see you go inside."

"Why are you making such a fuss? It’s so cold outside, I want to get inside early and go home. Please go on your way."

With that, she closed the car door.

Zhao Xiuyun sensed that she genuinely did not want him to walk her home, so he did not insist. After the car door closed, he rolled down the window, "Ranran, thanks for today. So, I’ll go now?"

Wen Ran smiled and waved at him.

She watched Zhao Xiuyun drive away, the smile on her face fading as she turned and walked toward the Huan Island Villa.

Before today, Wen Ran always thought of Fu Chenlie as a cold person who wouldn’t show tenderness to anyone, until she saw his gentle eyes while dining with Xu Tong and how he considerately opened the car door for her.

Xu Tong was merely Jiang Wan Ning’s friend, yet she enjoyed such special treatment from Fu Chenlie.

Yet she, Fu Chenlie’s wife, received only sarcasm and hostility.

How ridiculous it all was.

Wen Ran returned to the Huan Island Villa in a daze.

She had thought she would definitely get back before Fu Chenlie, but upon entering, she found his car already parked in the yard.

Did he drop off Xu Tong so quickly?

Oh, it seemed they were on the way anyway.

With her spirits low, Wen Ran entered the house and, after changing shoes in the foyer, was about to walk to the living room when she saw Fu Chenlie standing on the upstairs corridor with a glass of red wine, looking down...
