Faced with their “siege,” Chen Chen turned and left.

Bai Ran was left behind to comfort them. It took a lot of effort to comfort them.

She wanted to go back to her original house to tidy up, so she did not stay any longer and hurried out the door. As she walked, she criticized Chen Chen for being heartless. Why did he choose to run after exposing things?

Unexpectedly, when she reached the door, she saw that Chen Chen’s car was still parked outside. When she looked again, Chen Chen was smiling at her from the corner of his eyes.

Was he waiting for her?

Bai Ran did not understand what Chen Chen meant.

Just as she was hesitating about whether to go forward, Chen Chen opened the door to the front passenger seat and motioned for her to go over.

“Why haven’t you left? Shouldn’t you be accompanying Sister Hu Wan at a time like this?” Bai Ran stopped in front of the car door and hesitated.

“Do you really want me to go?” Chen Chen’s smile instantly disappeared as his eyes drooped.

Was this something she could hope for? Bai Ran complained silently.

“Let’s go. I’ll send you off.” Chen Chen patted the passenger seat impatiently and asked her to hurry up.

“Send me off?” Bai Ran was a little puzzled. Since when was Chen Chen so proactive with her? However, she still got into the car obediently.

“Shouldn’t a husband send his wife?” Chen Chen smiled when he saw her coming into the car.

Uh… Bai Ran was getting more and more confused. What was wrong with Chen Chen? What kind of husband and wife were they now? Were his words sarcastic?

Or did Chen Chen not want a divorce at all? After all, he had not signed it yet.

Moreover, he had even made this matter clear in front of the elders. He even said that she had requested it. Did he want the elders to persuade her not to get a divorce?

But he did not love her at all. If he did, how could he let her be wronged and only treat another woman well?

When she thought of Hu Wan, Bai Ran’s thoughts became even more chaotic.

At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly leaned close to Bai Ran. Their faces were only a few centimeters apart.

Bai Ran was shocked. Her mind went blank as her eyes widened. “What are you doing?”

“What do you think?” Chen Chen teased. He suddenly pressed down on Bai Ran. Now, the two of them were so close that even their hair could be seen clearly.

“You… you…” Bai Ran was so frightened that she suddenly shrank back, her hands clutching the corner of her shirt tightly.

Chen Chen only smiled even more.

“Don’t tell me you want to do something to me in the car?” Bai Ran’s breathing became hurried. She looked at Chen Chen’s smile and felt flustered.

“You’re overthinking. Do you think I’ll be interested in you?” Chen Chen laughed directly.

“Then you’re…” Hearing Chen Chen’s words, Bai Ran was a little embarrassed. Her face turned red.

“I’m buckling your seatbelt for you!” Chen Chen said as he pulled the seatbelt beside him over and buckled it. Then, he quickly pulled away from Bai Ran.

Only then did Bai Ran notice that she had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she had not noticed the seatbelt.

“I see.” Bai Ran was even more embarrassed. She pretended to be calm but simply wanted the ground to engulf her.

But her heart was in turmoil. Chen Chen was definitely doing this on purpose! He just wanted to see her embarrassed!

“Send me back to my old house,” Bai Ran said quickly, trying to hide the awkwardness from earlier.

Chen Chen held back his smile and only replied with one word, “Okay.”

The journey was silent. Bai Ran looked out of the window and thought about Chen Chen’s behavior over the past few days. She really did not understand what he was trying to do.

As she thought about this, her vision became more and more blurry…

When Bai Ran woke up again, she realized that she was lying on the sofa in their new room.

“Why am I here? Didn’t you say you would send me to my original home?” Bai Ran looked at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen walked out of the kitchen and explained, “You haven’t been in good spirits these past few days. You’re too tired. You even fell asleep in my car. Do you still want to go over there and clean up with this spirit? Are you sure you can do it?”

“Wait, how did I get home from the car?” Bai Ran suddenly thought of this question and looked surprised. Could it be…

“I saw that you were sleeping well, so I didn’t wake you up. I carried you back.” Chen Chen’s tone was very normal.

“Carried me…” As she had expected, Bai Ran’s face turned red.

“Stay here tonight.” Chen Chen did not notice Bai Ran’s change and made the decision for her.

Bai Ran then saw that Chen Chen was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand. Was this made for her?

“What are you doing?” Bai Ran asked timidly. After the seatbelt incident, she did not dare to guess anything.

“Stop looking. Come and eat.” Chen Chen put down the porridge.

“Why didn’t I know you knew how to cook porridge?” Bai Ran stood up and walked over.

“There are many things you don’t know,” Chen Chen complained.

“Then why did you remember to cook porridge for me?” Bai Ran was a little touched.
