Chapter 94: Jealousy

"He was a senior from my university days; he pursued me for a very long time!"

"Actually, I had quite a good impression of him too, and we were even almost together..."

Gu Ran tilted her head back, as if some memory had been stirred up, and said with a face full of smiles.

Seeing Gu Ran like this, Ye Feng felt a bit sour in his heart, for reasons he didn't know.

"What's wrong, are you jealous?"

Gu Ran raised an eyebrow and said with a light laugh.

"How could that be? How could I be jealous? Who hasn't had a 'white moonlight' in their youth!"

Ye Feng hurriedly argued back; as a man, he didn't want Gu Ran to think he was particularly petty.

Gu Ran raised her eyebrows, looking at him with a look that was not quite a smile, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Oh? Is that so?"

"Then how come I smell something sour?"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be serious as he rubbed his nose and said solemnly: "Maybe the cafeteria lady put too much vinegar in the food today."

Hearing this, Gu Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

She had just woken up today and received a leave-of-absence text from someone, yet he still dared to shift the blame onto the cafeteria lady—how could he be so shameless!

Following that, she continued, her tone carrying a bit more helplessness and teasing: "I think someone's vinegar jar has been knocked over!"

Hearing Gu Ran expose him, Ye Feng felt a bit embarrassed, but he quickly returned to his usual devil-may-care demeanor.

He shrugged and simply admitted it generously: "Fine, I admit it, I am jealous."

"But everyone has their own past and stories; people should look forward. As long as you are mine now, that's all that matters!"

Hearing him admit it so bluntly, Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh, a hint of triumph in her eyes: "If you're jealous, just be jealous! Just admit it openly!"

"Besides, my innocence was all taken by you..."

Saying this, Gu Ran's pretty face flushed, and she glared at Ye Feng in feigned anger.

Seeing Gu Ran like this, Ye Feng was stunned, then thought of something, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

That's right!

Since she had given him her most precious thing, what else did he have to be petty about?

It's the same saying: people should look forward; cherish the present, and only then will things be beautiful!

Just as Ye Feng was about to say something more, Gu Ran suddenly changed the subject, her tone carrying a hint of interrogation: "By the way, I heard you have a 'white moonlight' you can't forget?"

"Tell me, what's that about?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng froze instantly, the expression on his face stiffening.

Good grief, he had just said that off the cuff, and this girl actually remembered it and took it seriously!

Seeing Ye Feng not speaking, Gu Ran's gaze turned somewhat cold: "What? Lost your tongue?"

Seeing Gu Ran was a bit angry, Ye Feng instantly came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hands to explain: "No, there's no 'white moonlight' at all; I just made that up!"

Gu Ran snorted, crossed her arms over her chest, and stared at him with a sharp gaze: "Made it up?"

"Is this kind of thing something you can just make up?"

"Hurry up and tell me the truth!"

Hearing this, Ye Feng sighed, took her hand, and said with a hint of seriousness: "I did have an ex-girlfriend, but later she betrayed me and messed around with a good brother of mine. This caused me to lose faith in life for a time, but fortunately, I met you, which gave my life hope again!"

Hearing Ye Feng say this, the coldness in Gu Ran's eyes softened slightly, but she still hadn't completely let down her guard.

She stared at Ye Feng for a few seconds, then hugged him, her tone carrying a hint of remorse: "I'm sorry for making you recall such an unbearable memory."

Ye Feng looked at her earnest appearance, feeling both moved and a bit helpless.

He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, his tone carrying a bit of doting: "It's okay, as long as you can stay by my side, that's enough!"

Being pinched like that by him, Gu Ran's face felt a bit hot, but she didn't resist.

Ye Feng smiled, said nothing more, and simply reached out to pull her into his arms, holding her gently.

Gu Ran didn't struggle either; she leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and her heart gradually calmed down.

The two of them hugged quietly like this for a while, until Gu Ran suddenly looked up, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness: "By the way, didn't you say you were going to take me to Food City today? I'm hungry, let's go!"

"Alright!"

Ye Feng smiled lightly, then took her hand and walked out of the company together.

This time, Ye Feng didn't drive the car Xie Junhao had given him, but chose Gu Ran's car instead.

The night breeze was slightly cool, the neon lights outside the car window flickered, and the city night appeared exceptionally charming.

Soon, they arrived at Food City.

After parking the car, Ye Feng held Gu Ran's hand and walked into the bustling Food City.

As soon as they entered, Gu Ran's eyes lit up, and she looked around excitedly like a little child.

It seemed she really had taken a liking to this place!

Ye Feng looked at her happy appearance, and his heart felt warm too.

Along the way, they bought a lot of food, so much that Ye Feng could barely carry it all.

As they strolled along, Gu Ran's gaze was suddenly attracted by a small stall selling ice cream.

She stared at the colorful ice cream, a hint of longing flashing in her eyes, but she quickly shook her head and whispered to herself: "Forget it, I'd better not eat it."

Ye Feng noticed her expression and asked softly: "Do you want to eat some?"

Gu Ran shook her head and gave a forced smile: "Forget it."

After saying that, she pulled Ye Feng's hand and walked quickly away from that small stall.

When they walked out of Food City, Gu Ran's gaze was again involuntarily attracted by another small stall selling ice cream.

This time, Ye Feng didn't ask any more questions; he simply let go of her hand and ran over quickly to buy an ice cream.

Gu Ran looked at the ice cream Ye Feng handed over and said somewhat helplessly: "Didn't I say I wasn't going to eat it? Why did you still buy it?"

Ye Feng smiled, his tone gentle: "It's fine, your body has been nursed back to health over these past few days, eating a little won't cause any major problems."

Hearing Ye Feng say this, Gu Ran's eyes immediately lit up.

She hesitated for a moment, took the ice cream, and carefully took a small bite.

The cold, sweet taste melted in her mouth, and immediately, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Ye Feng gave an indulgent smile and asked, "Is it good?"

Gu Ran nodded, then handed the ice cream back.

Ye Feng took the ice cream and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, don't you like this flavor?"

Gu Ran shook her head, then linked her arm with Ye Feng's, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly, "Thank you for today, for accompanying me for so long and buying me so many delicious things."

Ye Feng looked down at her, his eyes full of indulgence: "As long as you are happy, that is all that matters."

The two of them snuggled together like this and slowly walked toward the parking lot.

The night breeze blew gently, carrying a hint of chill.

Gu Ran looked up at Ye Feng's profile, feeling a secret sweetness in her heart.

Ye Feng seemed to notice her gaze, turned his head, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Gu Ran shook her head, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned: "No, I just think you look especially handsome today."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and said with feigned smugness: "Of course, I've always been handsome."

Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud and gave him a light punch: "Stop being so full of yourself!"

The two of them laughed and joked as they got into the car, and Ye Feng started the engine and slowly drove out of Food City.

Outside the car window, the city's night view remained brilliant, while inside the car, the two's laughter and conversation intertwined; tonight was destined to be extraordinary!
