"They didn't force you to do anything, did they?" Gu Ran frowned slightly. "If you're not happy about it, you can refuse. If you're too embarrassed to say it, I'll help you say it..."
"No, they didn't force me to do anything, nor did they interfere with my freedom. I can do whatever I want, it's just..." Tang Shishi explained for a while, then suddenly blushed a little, as if she had thought of something.
"What is it?" Gu Ran asked.
"It's nothing, just a suggestion for me to consider."
"What suggestion?"
Tang Shishi didn't answer, but just pursed her lips, a shy expression on her face.
Gu Ran's attention was focused on the classroom windowsill, so he didn't notice Tang Shishi's expression.
In the classroom, Su Xiaoqiang saw a beautiful girl who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere sitting next to him, staring at him with wide eyes and a huff.
Tang Shishi did not answer, and Gu Ran did not press the matter.
After a while, Tang Shishi perked up and looked at Gu Ran earnestly with her bright eyes: "Gu Ran, I haven't formally thanked you yet. Thank you so much for being able to get rid of my old life!"
After saying that, Tang Shishi stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and gave Gu Ran a deep hug.
Because she was wearing high heels, she was almost as tall as Gu Ran, so she was able to put her arms around Gu Ran's neck and hide her face to the side so that he could not see her expression.
Gu Ran stood there motionless, a little stunned. If you're going to thank me, fine, but why did you suddenly ram into me with the ball?
Even through her winter clothes, Gu Ran could still feel the breadth and softness of her heart.
Many boys passing by were captivated by her shy expression.
Another beautiful girl, and she's hugging that handsome man again.
So being ugly really is a disadvantage, right? Does being ugly mean you deserve to be single?
Wang Mengyuan was also stunned. Where did this beautiful woman come from? So it's a world that judges people by their looks, right?
Does this mean only good-looking people deserve to hug each other, while those who are average-looking are relegated to eating dog food nearby?
But speaking of which, does Su Xiaoqiang, who is currently in class upstairs, know how popular her man is? He's only been sitting for a short while, and two top beauties have already come over to hug him. Their looks are no less than Su Xiaoqiang's, and their temperaments are equally charming.
Tang Shishi only hugged for two seconds before separating, still smiling, though her face was a little red.
Gu Ran's attention was focused upstairs. He had just glanced up and saw Su Xiaoqiang staring at them as they hugged, while simultaneously snapping a wooden pencil in one hand!
"I... I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to hug you when I wanted to express my gratitude..." Tang Shishi explained anxiously, her face flushed. "Won't your girlfriend misunderstand?"
Gu Ran thought to herself, "Is it really okay for you to make such a blatantly manipulative statement?"
But judging from her expression, she wasn't a manipulative woman; she seemed to just want a hug.
To be fair, she has a pretty good figure; no wonder she's a top-tier actress.
"Sigh, oh well, I've already hugged him, I can't pay him back anyway." Gu Ran was now overwhelmed with debts and didn't care about the burden, but she was a little embarrassed and shy...
Tang Shishi smiled as she looked at him, surprised that he could be shy. She suddenly remembered when they first met, Gu Ran had hypnotized her and asked her about her measurements...
Although this man is a smooth talker, he is actually very devoted. Tang Shishi knows that she has no place in his heart and is at most just a friend.
"I'll be going now." Tang Shishi stood up, then mustered her courage and asked, "Can I visit you sometime? I don't have many friends in Shanghai..."
“Sure,” Gu Ran smiled. “I’ll take you to the top-floor club sometime. The people there are really nice.”
"I've already been there." Tang Shishi understood Gu Ran's meaning; she didn't really want to meet with her privately alone.
However, the Zhang family's suggestion requires the two of them to spend more time together in private to cultivate their relationship.
However, the Zhang family also said that there was no need to rush this plan and that they could take their time.
People of mixed races tend to live longer than average, and their physical functions are better maintained.
After saying goodbye to Tang Shishi, Gu Ran sat back down on the bench, took out her phone and looked at it, wondering if Su Xiaoqiang's angry text message had arrived.
But after waiting for more than five minutes, no text message came.
Gu Ran glanced at her hidden expression, as if she was enduring something.
She previously said that she wouldn't be easily provoked, and it seems she really did hold back.
Wait, are there other people coming?
Gu Ran looked around to see if anyone would try to ambush him.
As a result, another familiar figure walked over from around the corner, smiling and greeting Gu Ran.
"Senior Sister Susie, what brings you here too?"
Susie, dressed in her well-fitting dark green school uniform from Kassel College, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, walked gracefully and gently toward Gu Ran.
She was also dragging a suitcase and stood in front of Gu Ran, asking with some confusion, "What do you mean by 'also'? I just got off the plane, has anyone else been here?"
"Nono came here about twenty minutes ago."
"Really?" Susie was a little puzzled. She took out her phone to call Nuonuo, but found that it was still switched off.
Chapter 352 Monogamy
Susie found that she still couldn't get through to Nono's phone, so she stopped trying.
She told Gu Ran, "I've been trying to contact her for several days, but I haven't been able to reach her. A few days ago, she said she was going to do a mission, and then she suddenly disappeared."
"Then, senior sister, what are you doing here?" Gu Ran looked at her attire. The Kassel College uniform was very form-fitting, showing off her slender and athletic figure.
This outfit is not easily damaged when exercising and is also very durable.
Gu Ran asked curiously, "Is there a mission?"
"No, I'm a senior this year, and I'm choosing an internship location," Susie said. "I chose the China branch, which is basically like paying my respects to the Zhang family's heir!"
Gu Ran smiled and waved his hand, not really wanting to acknowledge the identity of the Crown Prince. He asked Su Xi with some curiosity, "Shouldn't you be going to the French branch?"
“I originally wanted to go to the French branch, where I can order the latest products every year at fashion week.” Susie stood her suitcase to the side and sat down on the bench with Gu Ran.
Gu Ran was speechless. In less than a class period, three different women had already sat on this bench next to him.
Su Xiaoqiang, who was in the classroom upstairs, probably had already prepared a 40-meter-long sword and was going to come and chop him up like Saionji Sekai.
Susie, unaware of Gu Ran's thoughts, continued, "But after thinking it over, I still chose China. I heard the work here is easier, and I want to have an easier life."
"I understand." Gu Ran paused and said, "Senior sister is usually too timid, so she wants to relax after graduation."
"I guess so..." Susie looked around and noticed that many people's eyes were on them, both boys and girls.
"Why are they all staring at us?" Susie whispered in Gu Ran's ear.
Gu Ran said, "Because my fiancée is taking a class upstairs, they want to see a scene of carnage."
Yes, many people at the school recognized Gu Ran. After all, he's so handsome and drives a luxury car, so his identity is easy to find out.
Moreover, in less than a class period, he was surrounded by all sorts of beautiful women, which convinced everyone that he was indeed a playboy.
“Perhaps in these people’s minds, I’m just as promiscuous as Caesar’s father,” Gu Ran said with a smile.
He glanced upstairs and noticed that Su Xiaoqiang seemed to have stopped peeking at him and appeared to be concentrating on her class.
This is the calm before the storm. We're doomed.
Susie smiled gently. Of course she knew that the person in front of her was not a womanizer at all; on the contrary, he was very devoted.
The two chatted for a while about work. The Peruvian party has multiple branches in countries with large land areas, such as four or five branches in Russia.
Susie said, "I heard that Deadpools often appear in the border areas of Outer Mongolia. The Clan and the Executive Division go there every year to clean up a batch of them."
"I've heard about this." Gu Ran naturally knew that Nuwa had asked him to go when he had time, but he hadn't had the chance.
"I heard Zihang was recently discharged from the hospital. I wonder if he's at peace with it now," Susie suddenly said, making a surprising turn of events.
"Senior sister, why do you talk like that of Senior Brother Sha Pi, just saying whatever comes to mind!" Gu Ran said, both amused and exasperated. "If you want to know, why not just call and ask? Or you can fly to Beijing. He hasn't returned to school yet, and it only takes two hours to fly from here to Beijing."
Susie shook her head: "He doesn't need anyone's concern right now. He prefers to be alone, to think things through quietly, and to process all his emotions in silence."
She had already decided to let go of Chu Zihang, but she still asked a question, after all, she had liked him for so long, and it wasn't something she could just let go of so easily.
She knew before that it was unlikely that she would appear in Chu Zihang's heart, but she had always held onto the hope.
Later, she saw Xia Mi, that stunningly beautiful and cheerful girl. She often saw their interactions in the ward, one chattering away and the other racking her brains to keep up.
She noticed that Chu Zihang really enjoyed spending time with Xia Mi, even though he always had a blank expression no matter who he was facing.
Therefore, even before the public trial, Susie had already decided to let go of Chu Zihang.
Later, Xia Mi died, but Susie knew she had even less of a chance.
Because you can never win against a dead person, such a comparison is completely unfair.
Love, by its very nature, is not about fairness.
It was quite comfortable chatting with Susie. We were already quite familiar with each other and had collaborated many times, so we had a lot to talk about.
"Senior sister, did you leave the Lionheart Society's work properly?" Gu Ran said, spreading her hands. "Don't leave me with a mess when I take over the Lionheart Society next year!"
Susie knew he disliked trouble and only wanted to be a hands-off manager, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already taught Li Enshu all the management matters. She'll be a good secretary for you."
After chatting for a while, Susie had to leave. Her colleagues in the executive department had even prepared a welcome dinner for her.
"Why don't we go together?" Susie invited Gu Ran. "We're all family anyway."
"I'm not going, I have to appease my girlfriend." Gu Ran pointed upstairs.
Susie smiled gently, stood up, and stopped the suitcase.
"Are you leaving already? Aren't you going to give her a hug?" Gu Ran stood up and said, "I've already hugged the two girls before, so let's give you a hug too, otherwise it won't feel complete."
As he spoke, Gu Ran opened his arms. Su Qian was taken aback for a moment, but without thinking much of it, she smiled and stepped forward to give him a hug.
Susie's muscles were more defined than the previous two girls; you could clearly feel her back muscles and biceps.
The onlookers who were secretly watching were all numb to it. Well, being handsome means you can do whatever you want.
Wang Mengyuan was wondering if Gu Ran was a woman who could be hugged.
If so, would she also have a chance to hug him?
Gu Ran and Su Xi only gave each other a polite hug for a short while before waving goodbye.
Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
The onlookers immediately became extremely attentive, their gossip instincts instantly awakened.
