Chapter 6: 06 Unexpectedly meeting you in this place

“Dry your hair or you might catch a cold p>

For some reason, Su Ran felt a sudden softness in her heart, and her eyes unexpectedly began to sting slightly.

“Thank you p>

Taking the handkerchief and gently wiping her hair, Su Ran could never have imagined that a man she just met by chance would warm her long-cold heart with such a trace of warmth and care.

Fu Qiyuan observed the girl’s reaction closely, the corners of his lips imperceptibly curving up into a slight arc, his eyes deepening.

The old lady had been watching the two of them, her shrewd gaze measuring them both before showing a deeper smile on her face.

It seemed that there was hope for a granddaughter-in-law.

“Child, what is your name p>

“Su Ran p>

“Su Ran? That’s a nice name. Can I call you Ranran in the future p>

Facing the old lady’s undiminished enthusiasm, Su Ran nodded, “Yes, you can p>

“Ranran, with such heavy rain, why are you here all by yourself? Why didn’t you bring an umbrella when you went out p>

There was a slight flicker in Su Ran’s eyes, and a subtle change crossed her usually cool gaze.

The old lady and the man beside her caught it easily, and the old lady instantly felt a pang of heartache.

“I was in a hurry when I left and forgot it p>

“Don’t be so careless next time. Girls should take care of themselves p>

Su Ran nodded, looking down.

This was the second time she felt warmth today.

The old lady glanced at her grandson beside her, a sly twinkle in her eyes, and took Fu Qiyuan’s hand, placing it on the back of Su Ran’s hand.

“Oh, Ranran, let me introduce you. This is my grandson, Fu Qiyuan, 27 years old, single p>

The instant their hands touched, both of them paused, and Su Ran looked up, inevitably colliding with the man’s dark, Chen Ze-like eyes.

The flickering street light poured through the car window onto his sharp and handsome features. His eyebrows and eyes were delicate, his expression aloof and cool, with his long legs casually crossed. Just sitting still, he exuded an air of natural elegance and nobility that he couldn’t hide.

His strong presence made him all the more impossible to ignore.

Just from his appearance and demeanor, it was clear he was no ordinary person.

Fu Qiyuan?

She seemed to have heard the name somewhere before but couldn’t remember where at the moment.

Right now, though, she wasn’t in the mood to think too much about it.

In the cramped space, they were incredibly close, their breaths seemingly intertwined and lingering. Su Ran held her breath, daring not to move.

And with the old lady’s action, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of being forced into a blind date.

Like prey being watched by a wild beast.

Fu Qiyuan seemed to notice Su Ran’s discomfort. His lips curled up slightly, a swift smile flashing in his eyes before he withdrew his hand and extended it politely, saying:

“Hello, I am Fu Qiyuan p>

“Hello, I am Su Ran p>

Regaining her composure, Su Ran showed a sincere smile and likewise extended her hand.

Their handshake was warm, almost scalding, like a fiery, celestial liquor.

The moment the girl smiled, Fu Qiyuan imperceptibly lost his composure.

Acting naturally, Su Ran released their hands and turned to look out the window, her heart racing.

The car fell silent once again.

Soon, the car arrived smoothly at the bottom of Pleasant Courtyard.

“Granny, thank you for today p>

The old lady waved her hand dismissively, “Don’t mention it, don’t mention it. Ranran, let’s exchange phone numbers. Granny is often alone too. If you have time, come and chat with me p>

Having said that, she didn’t give Su Ran a chance to react.
