Chapter 494: Treating Dinner

Bai Ran could not help but break the silence. “Um, I still have something to say…”

When Chen Chen heard this, he instantly felt his hair stand on end. He instantly became energetic and excited.

However, he still tried his best to suppress his emotions and pretended to be calm. “Ah, is that so? What’s the matter?”

Bai Ran hesitated for a long time before finally pursing her lips and saying, “Well, it’s like this. Last time, when you went to Heavenly Lake, you were injured to save me. I never expressed my gratitude and even rejected you carrying me… Since this misunderstanding has been resolved, I’m quite sorry. I think I’ll treat you to a meal if you have the time.”

She did not want to care about Chen Chen at Heavenly Lake that time because it was a misunderstanding caused by Gu Qian.

Now that she thought about it, if what Chen Chen had said about Gu Qian was true, then she had really gone too far with treating Chen Chen like that.

Heavenly Lake’s Mount Yunwu was extremely difficult and dangerous. Furthermore, it was raining heavily. Anyone who could go up the mountain to save someone in the middle of the night would ignore life and death.

Ever since she knew the truth, every time she thought of this, Bai Ran felt guilty.

Therefore, after calming down these past few days, she had always wanted to apologize to Chen Chen.

At least, she could not treat Chen Chen so coldly anymore. It was unfair to him.

When Chen Chen heard this, he was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

However, he still continued to pretend to be calm. He cleared his throat and said, “Ah, is this necessary? I just saw injustice and saved you casually.”

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be a little disappointed to hear him say this.

However, Bai Ran knew him. Chen Chen always liked to say things out of arrogance.

Bai Ran smiled knowingly and said, “I see. I thought you went there specially to save me. In that case, forget it. Coincidentally, I’m going out with President Huo…”

“Hey, no!” Chen Chen was anxious when he heard this.

Of course, he wanted to eat with Bai Ran. He wanted it desperately! Over the past few days, he had been waiting for Bai Ran to look for him. That had given him a way out!

Furthermore, she still wanted to go out with Huo Tian. What a joke. This was the last name Chen Chen wanted to hear.

“Huo Tian still has to take care of Lin Lin. I don’t think he has time. I’ll reluctantly eat with you.” Chen Chen pouted proudly.

Bai Ran smiled slightly and said, “Alright, tell me a place.”

Chen Chen thought about it. He did not mind anywhere as long as this meal was with Bai Ran.

However, when he suddenly thought of Huo Tian cooking for Bai Ran, his heart instantly felt sour.

Chen Chen’s eyes were a little gloomy as he said, “I’m not going anywhere.”

“What do you mean? You’re unwilling to eat dinner with me? Forget it!” Bai Ran’s expression was even more depressing than his.

“Wait, I’m not done talking. I risked my life to look for you on the mountain back then. You want to send me away after treating me to a meal?” Chen Chen teased.

“Then what do you want?” Bai Ran looked up and asked.

“I think in order to show your sincerity, you should cook for me personally. That way, you’ll be sincere. What do you think?” Chen Chen finally said his motive.

“In your dreams!” Bai Ran blurted out without hesitation.

“Hey, you said you wanted to repay me. Is this how you treat your great benefactor? You’re not even willing to cook me a meal?” Chen Chen frowned and said unhappily.

Then, he immediately added, “Besides, you’re still my wife. Is it too much to cook for me?”

“Shameless. We’re already divorced. Who’s your wife?” Bai Ran suddenly blushed.

“When did we get a divorce? Why don’t I know? Show me your divorce certificate!” Chen Chen began to play dumb.

“Uh…” Bai Ran murmured. For some reason, the redness on her face did not disappear for a long time.

She did not seem to resist and was even a little happy.

Ever since the balance scale began to lean toward Chen Chen, she had already found countless reasons to absolve him. Under this filter, her previous disappointment had long become a misunderstanding that had been resolved, causing her to like Chen Chen a lot now.

Could it be that she really did not want to divorce him?

At the thought of this, the redness on Bai Ran’s face instantly dissipated and turned to frustration.

No, no, no. She couldn’t be so useless!

It was just a test report, a few explanations, and a few sweet nothings. She had completely fallen for this man?

She had to wake up!

She could no longer be a substitute between him and another woman!
