Wen Ran didn’t look at Cheng Jia. She fixed her gaze at Mo Xiuchen. He said it indifferently, but she was shocked when she heard it. Inexplicably, she remembered the dream she had always had since she was a child.
There was also a boy in her dream. She didn’t know how old, and she couldn’t see how he looked. In her dream, she told the boy to run, and the boy promised that he would come back to find her.
“Did something happen when you were a kid?”
Mo Xiuchen’s lips moved, but thought it best not to answer the topic. “Eat first. If you want to know, I’ll tell you later,” he promised Wen Ran.
Silence ensued for a few minutes. Then Gu Kai smiled as he spoke to Wen Ran, chewing, “Wen Ran, I know all about Xiuchen. What do you want to know? I will tell you later.”
Wen Ran didn’t want to know. She simply asked out of concern. She didn’t want to embarrass Gu Kai, so she just smiled and nodded. As she was about to speak, from the table not that far away, she heard Xiao Yuting’s voice was ringing in the hall, “Even if I stay single forever, I won’t choose you, Bai Xiaoxiao.”
She turned her head in astonishment and saw Xiao Yuting leaving his seat angrily. The beauty who was dining with him was already at the door.
At that table, Bai Xiaoxiao bit her lips. Her face paled, and her eyes were fixed at Xiao Yuting’s direction.
Wen Ran felt something in her chest. Withdrawing her gaze, she told Mo Xiuchen, who was beside her, “You eat first. I’ll go see Xiaoxiao.”
“Miss Wen, is that lady your friend? What’s wrong with her?” Cheng Jia asked. She was surprised and confused at the same time.
Wen Ran was getting up, but when she heard her words, Wen Ran’s eyebrows furrowed. Her eyes were cold when they met Cheng Jia’s,. She didn’t respond to her.
Not only the people from their table, but everyone in the entire hall probably heard Xiao Yuting say that even if he stayed a bachelor for the rest of his life, he wouldn’t accept Bai Xiaoxiao. Cheng Jia, no matter how simple-minded she depicted herself, clearly knew what had transpired.
Thus, in Wen Ran’s ears, her question was more hateful than mocking.
“Go. I will settle the bill at that table in a moment,” Mo Xiuchen declared.
Xiao Yuting left angrily and probably didn’t even pay the bill.
Wen Ran gratefully said, “Thank you,” and quickly walked to Bai Xiaoxiao’s table. Seeing her staring at the door blankly, she frowned and whispered to her, “Xiaoxiao.”
Hearing her voice, Bai Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head. In her eyes, aside from sadness and sorrow, there was a certain kind of determination. She tugged the corners of her mouth and forced a smile at Wen Ran. However, Xiaoxiao was too defeated that she began to sob.
“Xiao Xiao, let’s leave here first.”
Wen Ran reached out and pulled Bai Xiaoxiao up from the chair. Her facial expression changed, and she lowered her head to open her bag. “I haven’t paid the bill yet.”
“No need to pay. Mo Xiuchen will pay it later.”
When Wen Ran said this, she turned her head and looked at Mo Xiuchen’s table. He was saying something to the wait staff beside him. He sensed that she was looking at him. A small smile formed on his lips. He nodded, which implied that he had already settled the bill.

In the parking lot, when she got into the car, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t control her tears. She sobbed uncontrollably. She threw herself into Wen Ran’s arms and cried, “Xiao Xiao, am I very cheap? I know Xiao Yuting doesn’t like me, yet I insist on throwing myself at him. I should have let go of him long ago…”
Wen Ran didn’t immediately respond. She considered her words before saying them aloud.
She had known Bai Xiaoxiao for 12 years, and, in total, she saw her cry three times. Each time was because of Xiao Yuting.
Wen Ran didn’t understand what it felt like to love someone deeply. When she dated Mo Zixuan before, Mo Zixuan had already pursued her for more than a year beforehand. She had a good impression of him and was a little tempted, but it wasn’t like Bai Xiaoxiao’s infatuation with Xiao Yuting.
When compared to the pain of losing her parents and relatives, Mo Zixuan’s “betrayal” wasn’t worth mentioning. At this moment, listening to Bai Xiaoxiao’s confessions, she didn’t know how to comfort her. She just gently patted her back to express her concern.
Bai Xiaoxiao cried for a while and vented. She wiped her eyes with her hand, then said, “Ran Ran, I’m fine. Go back to the restaurant and find Mo Xiuchen.”
