Chapter 476: 0466 Let’s start   Chapter 476: 0466 Let’s start                                   Upon hearing that.


    Chu Ling paused, looking at Su Ran somewhat helplessly.


    “I… not at all, I didn’t…”


    She bit her lip firmly, not wanting to back down, not wanting to admit defeat.


    It was just a bit unfamiliar!


    Used to years of mediocrity, suddenly the burden of one issue weighed heavily on her shoulders, leaving her clueless, helpless, tense, and scared, all emotions swarming in at once.


    She couldn’t help but wonder, what if she messed up?


    What if Su Ran gave up on her too?


    “You just need to focus on taking care of your health; leave the rest to me. If I dare to sign you at this time, naturally I can guarantee you will shine brightly like a star!”


    Chu Ling’s heart trembled fiercely, and as she watched Su Ran’s calm,posed, and steady demeanor, her uneasy heart gradually settled.


    It almost seemed like with her around, any problem could be solved effortlessly, and Chu Ling found herself full of trust in her words.


    Shining brightly like a star!


    What was once just wishful thinking was now…


    Her reality!


    She believed her words!


    “Okay, I won’t let you down!”


    Chu Ling clenched her teeth and nodded forcefully, her face beaming with confidence and determination.


    Su Ran gave a faint nod, leaning over to open the passenger door for her.


    A fresh and cool fragrance wafted towards Chu Ling, causing her to be momentarily stunned.


    “After sorting out things here, remember toe find me at Qianran International tomorrow.”


    Chu Ling blinked nervously, “Are you… really sure about this?”


    Su Ran raised an eyebrow, the corners of her lips curving upwards slightly.


    “Why? Do you want me to write you a guarantee?”


    Chu Ling shook her head repeatedly, “No, no, no, that’s not necessary!”


    She bit her lip again and added, “I’m just afraid you might regret it.”


    “Regret? That word doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”


    Upon hearing this, Chu Ling couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, her tension instantly dissipating.


    “It seems like there are quite a few words that aren’t in your dictionary!”


    Su Ran cast her a cold nce, “If there’s nothing else, get out of the car and go get some rest!”


    Chu Ling suppressed herughter, covering her mouth as she chuckled softly.


    “Oh, yes, okay!”


    She opened the car door, got out, bending over slightly and looked at Su Ran with a gentle gaze.


    “Be careful on your way back home.”


    Su Ran nodded and immediately started the car; the engine roared strongly and shot forward.


    Not until the car was out of sight did Chu Ling take a deep breath and turn to enter the house.


    In the living room, Chu Ling sat on the couch, staring nkly ahead, lost in thought.


    The darkest days were behind her, and everything was starting anew.


    –


    Elsewhere.


    After leaving the city area and getting on the suburban road, Su Ran floored the elerator, speeding all the way.


    The car was like a sh of lightning, leaving only a blurred shadow behind.


    The raging roar bellowed, the speed increased without decrease, the tires screeching shrilly against the ground, piercing the quiet of the night.


    Su Ran sped back to tinum Lanting, and as she approached the brightly lit vi, a sudden pang shot through her heart!


    As the sound of the door opening reached her, Aunt Sun immediately came forward to greet her.


    “Miss Xiaoran, you’re finally back.”


    While switching her shoes, Su Ran hesitated for a second before looking up at Aunt Sun and asking softly,


    “Aunt Sun, has Fu Qiyuan had his dinner?”


    Aunt Sun shook her head, “No, the young master has been waiting for you all this time.”


    Su Ran pursed her lips and asked again:


    “Then, how is his mood?”


    She really felt uneasy, judging from her understanding of men, after she had left him alone to go out, could he be hiding and sulking?


    Aunt Sun looked up at the sky, not looking at Su Ran.


    “It’s alright! You must also be hungry since it’s sote, Miss Xiao Ran. The young master is in the study, why don’t you go and ask him toe down for dinner?”


    “Oh, okay.”


    Su Ran, oblivious, quickly changed her shoes and went upstairs.


    Upon entering the study, she saw the man sitting in the office chair, holding a pen, eyes downcast, looking at the document on the desk.


    Because she was against the light, she couldn’t see his facial expression clearly, but whether it was an illusion or not, she felt that there was a tornado swirling around him.


    She quietly walked up beside him and asked in a low voice:


    “Are you still busy? Dinner’s ready downstairs!”


    When he saw her approaching, Fu Qiyuan lifted his head, his gaze cold as the bright moon, looking at her.


    “You finally decided toe back?”


    Su Ran: “…”


    Howe she could hear such a thick tone of resentment in his voice.


    And, this is what you call an alright mood?


    Was Aunt Sun sure she wasn’t setting her up?


    “Of course, as soon as I was done with my errands, I hurried back with no stops!”


    Su Ran took a deep breath, barely steadying her own voice, her face feigning calmness.


    “What was so important that you ran outte at night, not even eating your meal.”


    Su Ran licked her lips, her mind full of thoughts on how to exin and how to put out the fire.


    In the end, she decided to tell the truth!


    “You know, I told you about that person I like, right? She had some trouble tonight, and I was afraid she might do something rash, so I hurried over to check on her. When I got there, I realized I had been overthinking it!”


    “So, that’s why you didn’t eat?”


    “…”


    Su Ran didn’t know what to say; she thought he’d be angry that she came backte, but she discovered that what he cared about was not that at all.


    In the end, she awkwardly touched her nose and said softly:


    “Well… a life is more important than a meal. Alright, I was wrong, dinner has been ready for a while now, let’s go downstairs and eat!”


    Fu Qiyuan’s brow was tense, his demeanor still not improved, his dark eyes looking at the girl’s face. Seeing the pleasing smile on her face, his expression rxed imperceptibly, but the words he spoke–


    “Su Xiaoran, I am still angry.”


    Su Ran looked down at him, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, emanating not only a dignified and deep aura but also a faint resentment.


    She bit her lip and said softly:


    “Haven’t you also said it yourself? Being angry is bad for your health. Come on! No more anger!”


    However, as her words fell, a cold presence suddenly closed in, her waist was gripped tightly, the room spun around her, and by the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the man’sp.


    “You…”


    “Want me to stop being angry?”


    That strikingly handsome face was close at hand, his tranquil eyes gazing directly at her.


    His warm breath sprayed on her face, stimting her pores, his voice low and rich.


    Her eyshes trembled uncontrobly with his breath, and she softly affirmed, “Mm.”


    Su Ran braced one hand on the desk and the other on the man’s shoulder, trying to maintain her bnce.


    Fu Qiyuan caught her wrist, bringing the hand she had braced on the desk to his waist, gazing deeply at her.


    “Then let’s begin!”


    Su Ran blinked, not understanding.


    “Begin what?”


    “Don’t you want to appease me? Start ttering me!”


    Su Ran: “…”
