Chapter 1385 - 1399: A Gaze
Young Master Huo knew An Ran was off today, so he invited her out to report on the company’s recent developments.
Since last time the main company of the Mu Family expressed that Jin Weiliang intended for An Ran to attend some important company meetings without affecting her studies, Mu Xingfeng rejected the idea.
He didn’t oppose An Ran learning these things— the more she learns, the greater her self-protection ability. However, he felt it was too tiring for her to balance academics and company work simultaneously.
He didn’t care about how much profit the Wenshan Group could gain; without Wenshan and Mu Family, he could still support his wife.
In the end, after considering the situation, it was decided that Young Master Huo would report to An Ran on Wenshan Group’s affairs from time to time.
An Ran got up, took a shower, changed her clothes, and went out. She hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, so she conveniently arranged to meet Young Master Huo at a café not far from the school.
Since it wasn’t far, she didn’t inform Zhang Liang or Fang Hui; she just walked at a leisurely pace towards their meeting place.
By the end of October, Nan’an had completely cooled down. More than half a month ago in the Imperial City, she was shivering in the mornings and evenings, but more than half a month later in Nan’an, An Ran found the weather refreshingly pleasant.
She secretly thought to herself, the southern weather truly suits her more.
In the north, winters are dry and cold. During the six days she spent in the Imperial City, the most annoying thing for her was having to apply layers of lotions and creams morning and night to avoid the painful dryness of her skin.
She began contemplating whether she should remain in a long-distance relationship with Mu Xingfeng after graduation or simply work at Shengde Hospital.
However, thinking about Mu Xingfeng’s authoritarianism, she estimated that her plan wouldn’t be feasible.
While walking and letting her thoughts wander, An Ran felt a constant gaze on her from behind, just like the feeling she had last time when leaving the Saintly Charity Nursing Home.
But when she turned around, there was nothing unusual except the bustling street with hurried pedestrians and vehicles passing by.
If it was a coincidence once, feeling it again didn’t seem like a coincidence to her anymore.
Remembering that Mu Xingfeng had already moved away from Nan’an, could it be the lurking enemies Mu Xingfeng once mentioned?
An Ran didn’t dare to linger and quickened her pace. Although it was broad daylight, she started to feel scared. Had she known, she would have asked Zhang Liang and Fang Hui to accompany her.
Fortunately, nothing happened until she reached the designated café. From afar, she saw Young Master Huo’s car parked at the café’s entrance. Seeing her, Young Master Huo got out of the car, and An Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. An," Young Master Huo politely called out, noticing An Ran slightly out of breath and with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, he couldn’t help but frown, "Why are you sweating so much? Did you run here?"
An Ran nodded, fanning herself with her hand.
Young Master Huo chuckled helplessly, "I’ve told you many times, you’re my superior. Even if you’re late, it’s my duty to wait for you; even if you don’t want to walk yourself, you could call me to pick you up."
Young Master Huo is more than ten years older than An Ran. He is a friend of Guo Wenshan and watched Guo Xinyi grow up, and An Ran was Guo Xinyi’s classmate. In his eyes, she was also a child.
He knew An Ran was always self-disciplined, unlike Guo Xinyi, who was a spoiled young lady with a domineering nature. Instead, An Ran was sometimes so considerate it made people feel for her.
The few times they interacted, his opinion of this girl gradually changed.
