Chapter 117: Gu Ran's Secret Base

Walking out of the company, the two found their Porsche.

As soon as they got in the car, Gu Ran suddenly said, "Ye Feng, we aren't going home tonight; let's go to my secret base!"

Hearing this, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of curiosity: "Secret base?"

"What kind of place is that?"

Gu Ran smiled, her tone carrying a hint of mystery: "It's a small apartment I have in Tianhai, where I keep some good wine stored away."

"Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I go there to drink a bit and stay for a while."

Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile.

This girl really knows how to live!

After setting the navigation, Ye Feng stepped on the gas and shot off.

On the way, the two first found a supermarket to buy some groceries, and only then did they head toward Gu Ran's secret base.

After driving for over an hour, the two parked the car at a high-end residential complex in the Dongcheng District.

The location here was quite remote, and compared to the Gu Family Villa in the Xicheng District, it was a world apart!

It seems this girl has been loathing the Gu Family for more than just a day or two!

Otherwise, why would she buy a house in such a far-off place?

Aside from avoiding her original family, Ye Feng truly couldn't think of any other reason!

After getting out of the car, Ye Feng followed Gu Ran into the elevator.

Her secret base was located on the top floor, the twenty-first floor.

After unlocking the door, Gu Ran stretched out her hand and made a "please enter" gesture.

Ye Feng smiled, walked inside, set down the things they had bought, and scanned the room.

This apartment was decorated mainly in pink, looking extremely cozy.

Several art paintings hung on the walls, a few cute throw pillows were placed on the sofa, and a faint fragrance permeated the air.

After closing the door, Gu Ran asked with a smile: "How is it? Not bad, right?"

Ye Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of appreciation: "It's indeed not bad, very much your style!"

Afterwards, he said again: "Where is the kitchen? I'll go cook."

Hearing this, Gu Ran pointed to the side door nearby and said: "That's it right there!"

Seeing this, Ye Feng picked up the ingredients again and walked into the kitchen.

Before long, he had served four dishes and one soup on the table.

The aroma hit their noses directly; seeing these dishes, Gu Ran couldn't help but exclaim: "Ye Feng, your skills are truly getting better and better!"

Afterwards, she lowered her head and rummaged around, finding a candle from somewhere, which she lit and placed in the middle of the table.

Immediately following that, she took out a bottle of red wine, poured it into a decanter, and said with a smile: "This is Romanée-Conti; we'll drink this tonight!"

Hearing this, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of surprise: "Romanée-Conti? This wine isn't cheap!"

Gu Ran smiled, her tone carrying a hint of pride: "That goes without saying; this is a fine wine I've treasured, I usually can't bear to drink it!"

Ye Feng picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then frowned as he said: "It feels not as good as Erguotou."

Gu Ran rolled her eyes at him, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "You, you really have no taste!"

Ye Feng laughed out loud, then said: "Alright, let's eat."

The two sat beside the dining table, the candlelight flickering, the atmosphere cozy and romantic.

Gu Ran raised her glass, her tone carrying a hint of emotion: "Ye Feng, thank you for being able to stay by my side all this time!"

Ye Feng smiled, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness: "No need to say thank you; after all, love is mutual, and besides, you are also redeeming me!"

Hearing this, Gu Ran's pretty face flushed slightly; she lowered her head to take a sip of red wine, then said softly: "Ye Feng, do you know?"

"Sometimes I really feel that if it weren't for you, I might have given up long ago!"

Ye Feng held Gu Ran's hand, his tone carrying a hint of firmness: "Gu Ran, don't worry; no matter how difficult the future is, I will stay by your side. The Three-Year Agreement—I will definitely be able to help you complete it!"

Gu Ran nodded, a flash of determination in her eyes: "Mm, let's work hard together!"

The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

And on Gu Ran's face, there was also a bit more of a smile at this moment...

……

The night gradually deepened, and the moonlight spilled through the curtains into the room, bringing a touch of warmth to the space.

Gu Ran lay in Ye Feng's arms, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Ye Feng looked down at Gu Ran's shy little expression and smiled inwardly: "This girl, why is her skin so thin?"

"We've been together for so long, and we've even done that... why is she still so shy!"

Afterwards, he gently pulled Gu Ran closer into his arms and said softly: "It's getting late, let's get some rest early!"

Gu Ran gave a soft "mm," her voice carrying a hint of shyness: "Goodnight!"

As the words fell, both closed their eyes, and the room became quiet.

I don't know how much time passed, but Gu Ran turned over slightly, lying face-to-face with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was woken up by her movement.

He slowly opened his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of concern: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Gu Ran's pretty face was somewhat flushed, and she stammered: "You... you're pressing against me, it's a bit uncomfortable..."

Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned right where he was.

What the hell, what is all this!

This thing isn't something he can control, and besides, anyone lying with a great beauty would be unable to help themselves, right!

Afterwards, he seemed to think of something, the corners of his mouth lifting in a wicked smile: "Then what should we do? How about I go take care of it?"

Gu Ran's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and she asked in confusion, "You... how are you going to resolve it?"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Ye Feng gave a mysterious smile, then stood up and walked out of the room.

Closing the room door, Ye Feng sat cross-legged directly, attempting to mobilize the Qi Strength within his body to suppress the evil fire in his heart.

As his Qi Strength circulated, he actually slowly entered a state of cultivation.

After a while, Gu Ran walked out of the room, saw Ye Feng sitting cross-legged on the floor, patted his shoulder lightly, and asked with a hint of concern in her tone, "Ye Feng, what are you doing?"

Ye Feng's thoughts stirred, he stopped his cultivation, then stood up and said with a smile, "Nothing much, go back and rest quickly."

As he spoke, he gently pushed Gu Ran back into the room.

After getting back into bed, Ye Feng held Gu Ran in his arms and asked softly, "How do you feel now?"

Gu Ran felt it carefully, her tone carrying a hint of shyness: "Much better."

Ye Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of gentleness: "Then get some rest early."

Once the words were spoken, the two closed their eyes again.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the sounds of each other's breathing and heartbeats remaining.

The next day, Ye Feng and Gu Ran opened their eyes at the same time.

Ye Feng turned his head, looked at Gu Ran, and smiled: "How was your rest?"

Gu Ran also smiled, her tone carrying a hint of satisfaction: "Quite good!"

After finishing, the two got out of bed, washed up and tidied themselves, then went downstairs to have breakfast.

After eating, they headed straight to the company.

As soon as she stepped through the company gates, Gu Ran seemed like a different person, her eyes filled only with work.

She walked quickly into the office and began to process the mountain of accumulated documents.

Ye Feng looked at this workaholic, smiled helplessly, and sighed inwardly: "This girl is really driven!"

Afterwards, he turned and walked toward the sofa nearby to sit down.

Just at this moment, Ye Feng's phone rang twice.

He took out his phone to look, and it was a message sent by Lei Qianqian; the content was a location—Tianhai Assembly Hall—and underneath it was a text message: "See you at the assembly hall entrance at five o'clock this afternoon!"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, his heart stirring: "I hope I can find some good goods tonight!"
