Chapter 1340: A Short Separation is Better Than a New Marriage

Various snacks were poured out of the bags one by one and arranged in exquisite tableware; the ordinary snacks instantly became high-class!

This was a little joy in the couple's life.

The two of them could cook, but they were far from being good at it, yet they had quite high standards for the quality of their food.

They didn't require the ingredients to be high-end, but at the very least, they had to be appealing in color, aroma, and taste!

So they bought many beautiful, high-end tableware sets, and by placing the food bought from outside into high-end tableware, even snacks could be eaten with the feeling of being in a high-end restaurant.

Breakfast was set on a dining cart; there were probably not many households that prepared a dining cart for daily life, but their home counted as one!

The feeling of freedom is just good.

There was no mother-in-law at home, so Shi Ran ate breakfast in bed.

Yun Qitian pushed the dining cart into the bedroom.

"Hubby, feed me!"

Shi Ran acted like a spoiled child and refused to get up.

The couple was eating breakfast sweetly when Shi Ran's phone rang.

"My lady wife, answer the phone."

He held the phone with both hands and handed it to his wife.

The person displayed on the screen was Tang Nainai.

Who is Tang Nainai?

Shi Ran was slightly stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly.

The grandmother who had a sudden heart attack on the plane yesterday was surnamed Tang, and yesterday, when they were about to get off the plane, at her strong request, they had exchanged phone numbers.

Shi Ran tapped her fingertip lightly and pressed answer: "Tang Nainai, are you feeling better?"

"Miss Shi Ran, I am treating you to a meal at the Jiangzhou Hotel at noon, please be sure to come!"

"You don't have to be so polite, I don't have time at noon."

For some reason, Shi Ran always felt that this grandmother's intentions were not as simple as just thanking her.

Perhaps she was overthinking it, but she didn't want to see her anyway.

"It doesn't matter, then how about the evening? If you don't have time for dinner either, then tomorrow, if tomorrow doesn't work, then the day after..."

Tang Nainai was full of sincerity and vowed not to give up until she had an appointment with Shi Ran.

"Alright, then dinner it is!" She agreed, as it was hard to refuse such kindness.

"Where did this Tang Nainai come from?" Qi Tian asked.

He knew basically everyone Shi Ran knew.

It was a coincidence that among the people they both knew, there was no grandmother surnamed Tang.

Shi Ran recounted the process of meeting Tang Nainai on the plane yesterday; she didn't mention the man named Leng Feng, as she didn't know how to explain it and thought it was better not to complicate things.

"Oh ho! I didn't see that coming, my lady wife is actually so kind-hearted, truly amazing!"

Her husband gave her a thumbs up: "You have to go; you don't do good deeds often so you wouldn't know, but if you don't accept Tang Nainai's gratitude, she will feel uneasy in her heart..."

His wife's beautiful eyes glared at him sharply.

Saying she doesn't do good deeds often?

Asking for a beating.

"Hahaha... Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!" Yun Qitian ran ahead, laughing.

His wife chased after him, catching up with almost no effort, and then the two of them tumbled together in playful laughter!

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

Yun Qitian returned from work and saw that his wife still had no intention of putting on makeup, and was even still wearing loungewear.

He asked curiously: "Why haven't you put on makeup and changed your clothes yet?"

Shi Ran rested her chin on her hands, looking troubled: "Hubby, I don't really want to go, you go in my place."

Yun Qitian was speechless.

For this kind of thing, what would it look like if he went in her place?

"I can accompany you, but I can't go for you. If they see the main person didn't come and a freeloader showed up instead? No, I can't afford to lose face like that."

He pouted aggrievedly.

Shi Ran burst into laughter; it was indeed the case.

Fine, it was her lack of consideration.

Her mind had been on that guy named Leng Feng all afternoon.

If one were to talk about a savior, Leng Feng was the true savior, and it was impossible for Tang Nainai to only invite her alone.

She would definitely invite Leng Feng, and when she agreed in the morning, she had actually overlooked that.

When her husband was at work, she remembered, and then suddenly she didn't want to go; she struggled all afternoon, but still didn't want to go.

She called Tang Nainai to decline, but the phone was always in a powered-off state.

So when her husband got off work, she still hadn't put on makeup or changed her clothes.

"Go, it's not good to change your mind at the last minute after promising someone; we have to eat dinner anyway, it's just one more person."

Shi Ran thought to herself, if it were only one more person, that would be fine, she was just afraid that the extra people would be more than one!

In the end, she still decided to attend the banquet.

Tang Nainai dressed plainly and also sat in economy class.

Yet she was hosting a dinner at the Jiangzhou Hotel; the Jiangzhou Hotel was notoriously difficult to book and also charged a private room fee, so it must not have been easy for her to secure a reservation.

She had already declined once, and declining again would be too impolite.

Shi Ran discussed it with her husband: "One hour after I go in, you call me, and use a very urgent tone to make me come out."

Yun Qitian was puzzled: "That wouldn't be very good, would it? I can wait for you outside, and we can go back together when you come out."

"No!"

Shi Ran refused flatly, her face flushing bright red.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just saying you should do as I say; there's no need to wait for me outside. You've already worked all day and must be tired, so get some good rest at home. It's just that I can't join you for dinner, so please eat something nice and don't just throw something together."

"Hmm."

He agreed, still unable to understand, but he did not ask any further.

Shi Ran finished putting on makeup in five minutes, pulled a random outfit from the closet to put on, and then curled up on the sofa, lost in thought!

Yun Qitian felt his wife was acting strange.

She was not the type to be pretentious, yet this time she was completely out of character.

She seemed very afraid of meeting someone, but the person she feared was certainly not Tang Nainai, as there was no reason for that.

Could it be another man using Tang Nainai's name to ask her out?

Yun Qitian shook his head, chasing this absurd thought from his mind.

There wouldn't be another man.

No one understood his own wife better than he did!

Jiangzhou Hotel.

Shi Ran did not drive all the way to the entrance; from afar, she saw Tang Nainai standing at the door, craning her neck in anticipation.

Standing beside her was a young man; although he was handsome and dignified, he was not Leng Feng, and Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

The car stopped at the main entrance, and the young man stopped the Security Guard, opening the car door himself to invite Shi Ran to step out.

The Security Guard drove the car away.

"Hello, are you Shi Ran? My name is Kang Qingru. Thank you for saving my grandmother, thank you so much..."

Kang Qingru?

The name sounded a bit familiar, but she couldn't recall at all where she had heard it.

"You are too kind. I didn't really do anything. Is Tang Nainai alright now?"

"She's fine. The doctor said it was thanks to the timely medication and emergency treatment. If you and Doctor Leng hadn't been on the plane, I would never have been able to see my grandson again..."

Old trees have many roots, old people have many words.

Tang Nainai was very talkative, just like yesterday.

She said that originally, she had intended to invite both Shi Ran and Doctor Leng today, but unfortunately, Doctor Leng did not have time, so she made other arrangements...

Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he wasn't coming.

During the meal, Tang Nainai introduced her grandson, Kang Qingru, as the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Commerce.

She also asked if Shi Ran's family was in business.

If she ever had any difficulties, she could go to her grandson for help.
