He Is Warmer Than Time Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Crescent Moon Eyes

Song Ran put on a fake smile and replied, “I went out to play.”

“Where did you go? You are carrying so much food with you.”

Song Ran muttered, “Oh, I went to the Damuqiao Bird and Flower Market. I’m going there with Jinghang tomorrow at ten in the morning. I went to check out the location today.”

Wen Huihui’s eyes lit up as she said, “Oh, is that right? Let me go with you.”

Song Ran glared at her and said, “You can come to my house at nine in the morning tomorrow. I won’t wait for you if you are late.”

Wen Huihui smiled and said, “Okay, got it.”

She believed that Song Ran was still the naive girl who was not well-versed with the affairs of the world. She wanted to take the chance to clarify things with Gu Jinghang before Song Ran caught on about it. Her family had already arranged a blind marriage for her. They obviously despised the poor Jinghang.

Wen Huihui stayed for dinner. She was chatting with Song Ran about things that happened in the past and all the nice things she had done for her, hoping to wake up her conscience.

Song Ran did not say anything. Wen Huihui would only work with her mouth when it came to helping others. Yet, she treated Song Ran’s kindness towards her like dirt.

In her past life, Song Ran had been too silly to realize the hypocritical show of affection from others. Since she was given the chance to relive her life, she would not be tricked by others again.

After seeing Wen Huihui off, Song Ran dragged Mother Wu into the kitchen to make green bean tarts and mint cake for her to bring along tomorrow. She also instructed Mother Wu to wake up earlier the following morning to cook a big pot of green bean soup for her too.

Mother Wu laughed and said, “Our Ran is indeed very interested in Team Leader Gu.”

Song Ran chuckled and said, “Try not to make the pastries too sticky. The weather is too hot. I do not have the appet.i.te for sticky desserts.”

“Alright.”

The next day, Song Ran woke up really early. She intentionally put on a white dress with red floral prints and matched it with white leather shoes. She let down her long hair behind her back and put on a pink headband. This outfit was fas.h.i.+onable and going out in such a style was the latest trend.

Mother Wu had already packed the food for Song Ran. The green bean tarts and mint cake were kept in a hand-carry bag while a big jar of barley tea had been cooled and packed using a pocket net.

She swallowed her breakfast quickly and started rus.h.i.+ng out while carrying the bags. Song Xuan came down from the second floor. When she saw Song Ran, she looked unhappy and said, “Song Ran, must you do all this?”

Song Ran swayed and smiled at her sister before she said, “Definitely.”

Song Xuan rolled her eyes and said, “Is it heavy? Do you need any help carrying it?”

“Aiya, there’s no need for that. Erm, Sister. If Wen Huihui comes later, just tell her that I went off already. Don’t let her know the details, alright?”

Song Xuan was confused as she said, “I really don’t know what you are up to recently. Why? Didn’t you bring Wen Huihui along everywhere you went previously? I thought you brought her along for your dates with Team Leader Gu too. Why aren’t you letting her tag along now?”

Precisely because she had been letting Wen Huihui tag along, Wen Huihui had developed wrongful feelings for Gu Jinghang.

How can an outsider be allowed to sleep beside her bed?

If Wen Huihui was sensitive, she would have the awareness to give up on Gu Jinghang on her own. If Wen Huihui did not adapt to the current circ.u.mstances and continued playing dirty tricks, Song Ran would not hesitate to return the favor.

“How can a date have three people?” Song Ran smiled as she bid goodbye to her sister. She carried all the bags and was on her way out of the house.

After pa.s.sing through the bungalow district, there was a narrow road. The roads in Haicheng were mostly narrow double-lane streets. They were curved and bent and none of the roads were straight.
