The Tycoon Has A Secret Crush On Me
Chapter 877 - 874: Lacking Courage

Chapter 877: Chapter 874: Lacking Courage

"You don’t need to worry about Grandpa; if you really don’t like it, I’ll handle it for you," Jun Mochan held her in his arms.

Ye Ranran snuggled up to him, a smile playing on her lips, "I do like it, I do."

She didn’t want him to get too tired either.

"Don’t force yourself," Jun Mochan still hoped she would consider it carefully, knowing once she started, there was no turning back.

"It’s not forced."

Seeing her mind was made up, Jun Mochan didn’t say much, but resolved to leave the trivial matters to her while he’d handle the major decisions.

Ye Ranran, unaware of the twists and turns in Jun Mochan’s mind, happily picked up her phone and called Chu Ji.

"Designer Ye still remembers me? That’s rare, indeed."

Listening to his slightly plaintive voice, a smile reached Ye Ranran’s eyes, "Hey, I should be the one saying that. Mayor Chu still remembers little me."

"Who is it, so late at night?" A woman’s petulant voice came from the other end, and Ye Ranran furrowed her brow, "Where are you now?"

Chu Ji’s voice was a bit weak, "Just out, looking for some fun."

"Be a bit cautious about the impact, don’t let anyone catch you red-handed," Ye Ranran said sternly.

Being an official, being seen frequenting brothels could badly affect his image, and more seriously, his career.

"If you really can’t handle it, find a girlfriend, or keep someone around to pretend to be your girlfriend. It’s better than randomly finding someone at the last minute," Ye Ranran lectured, frustrated.

Chu Ji was a mature man with strong desires, which was normal, but he shouldn’t jeopardize his future because of this, right?

"That’s all the ambition you have," Ye Ranran scolded angrily.

"What are you thinking? I just went out for a foot bath," Chu Ji almost choked on his own frustration.

Listening to her rattle off a bunch of nonsensical things, he was initially confused but eventually grasped the situation.

How could her thoughts get any dirtier?

"A foot bath? That woman’s voice didn’t sound like it," that soft voice, even through the phone, was enough to make her bones melt.

Chu Ji felt utterly bewildered and quickly shared his location with her, "Look at it yourself."

The geographic location showed he was at Wisteria Yard, a place known for foot baths, reputed to have good service. Luo Qi had even mentioned going there with her, but they’d been too busy, and she ended up spending time with Jun Mochan instead.

"Then what were you feeling guilty about earlier?" Ye Ranran was speechless.

He hadn’t done anything wrong; couldn’t he stay a bit calmer?

"In the future, you’re meant to handle big things; such low courage won’t do," Ye Ranran lectured.

"I know, but I was in the middle of charming a young lady when suddenly I saw your call and got startled, losing all my composure," Chu Ji complained.

"Alright, once you climb up the ranks and make your fortune, wouldn’t you have any girl you want? Is that all the taste you have?" Ye Ranran said disdainfully.

Chu Ji caught the key point in Ye Ranran’s words, "So you’re telling me you have good news for me tonight?"

"Of course, there’s good news. Do you want a promotion?"

Chu Ji sent everyone away from the room and looked out the window, a mysterious glint in his eyes, and after a while, he said, "Who wouldn’t? But I figured chances were slim lately."

"Why?"

"Well, you haven’t summoned me lately," Chu Ji reverted to his casual manner.

"Enough with the slick talk, I called you for a serious matter. I plan to transfer you to City B, to take up the position of Mayor of City B. Do you have any issues with that?"
