Chapter 29

Twenty-nine chapters

Zhuang Jing did not continue to disturb their lives, but the influence followed them everywhere.

No one mentioned it, but it seemed that a landmine had been planted between Lu Ran and Han Moyan, which should not be crossed.

Going to and from get off work, as usual, Lu Ran has gradually handed over the simple tasks to Gu An, and brought Gu An with him during meetings, and introduced to her little by little clients who might be her future contacts, although Gu An is not considered a talent Outstanding, but Lu Ran appreciates that serious and cautious attitude.

When she did this, she didn't hide it from Han Moyan. Han Moyan knew it, and probably saw Lu Ran's reluctance, so he didn't say anything after all.

As Christmas was approaching, Xiang Yan sent Lu Ran a gift, which was beautifully packaged, but Lu Ran returned it intact without opening it.

At least when she was Han Moyan's girlfriend, she didn't want to give Xiang Yan any hint of misunderstanding.

Xiang Yan received the package she sent back and made a special call: "Lu Ran, I don't mean anything else. This is just a Christmas present. I'm really ashamed of you returning it to me intact."

Lu Ran smiled: "I don't mean anything else, but I don't need anything now, so you should give it to the person who wants it."

She made it very clear, but Xiang Yan still didn't give up: "It's my birthday at the beginning of next month, can you come to my birthday party?"

"Attorney Xiang's birthday party should be more than one, not more, one more..."

The other end of the phone was quiet for a while, and Xiang Yan's voice was tinged with loneliness: "I don't expect a response from you, it's just a birthday party, and you won't agree...Lu Ran, Han Moyan's ex-girlfriend is back, you know Is it?"

Hearing Xiang Yan mention this, Lu Ran was calmer than he thought: "Well, I know. Your birthday party... has a lot of schedule at the end of the year, so let's talk about it later."

Xiang Yan was slightly surprised by her calmness, but she didn't say anything more.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran stood in front of the company's floor-to-ceiling windows for a long time, looking at the winter scenery outside the window, until the coffee in the cup was completely cold, before walking towards his seat.

Han Moyan's insider hurriedly received Lu Ran: "Lu Ran, I want to..."

"Is there the information of Art Company? I have prepared it, do you want to take it in?"

"Ah."

He approached Han Moyan's office with the documents, put them on the corner of the table, picked up Han Moyan's black coffee cup and asked, "Is it hot or lukewarm?"

"Warm."

Three spoonfuls of coffee and two spoonfuls of partner, washed with warm water, one or two, two cubes of sugar, Han Moyan's habit.

Handed it to Han Moyan, he took it, drank his coffee, and continued to work.

Lu Ran took away the unnecessary documents from the corner of the other table and sent them to the shredder.

Some understanding between each other has almost reached the level of habit, a tacit understanding without words, but why do they always feel that something is missing.

I didn't understand it in the past, but now I know that there is a lack of unforgettable passion between them, and they even directly crossed the period of passionate love to the level of an old husband and wife.

Frustrating yet helpless.

*******************************************************************************
In the evening, Han Moyan had something to do and worked overtime alone.

Lu Ran thought about it, and decided to drag Lin Jing to the bar, but she didn't expect that it was Lin Jing who resolutely refused this time, and there was probably a shadow of last time.

Lu Ran smiled: "Our luck will not be so bad, and we will not meet Pei Han every time, and I will not stay for a long time, just sit for an hour or two."

She was puzzled by Lu Ran's idea, but Lin Jing was obliged to accompany Lu Ran.

The weather outside the bar is cold and windy, pedestrians wrap their collars tightly and walk in a hurry, but inside the bar is a different scene, with a lively atmosphere, light clothes, hot body dancers, men and women chatting up everywhere, the smell of hormones is hibernating The season is still so strong that it can't be covered at all.

Lu Ran asked the bartender for a glass of low-concentration rum, and drank it slowly, with scenes of passionate acquaintances reflected in his eyes.

Someone came to ask Lin Jing to dance, she was a little worried about Lu Ran, but Lu Ran smiled and waved her to go.

Get to know each other, know each other, and love each other.

Obviously she has done the first two perfectly, hasn't she?

It's just the last point, it's not enough for her to work hard alone...

"Miss, can I buy you a drink?"

Lu Ran shook his wine glass and shook his head: "Sorry, I have a companion."

"Then, I'm sorry to bother you."

Low-concentration wine is not intoxicating, and Lu Ran is very sober.

Since when did it become like this, not even daring to get drunk, and enduring depression has become a habit.

Another person walked up to Lu Ran: "Miss..."

"Feel sorry."

"No, the lady over there invited you over."

Lu Ran looked up and saw several men and women sitting in the booth not far away. One of the women looked quite familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

Before she could remember, the woman had already walked over by herself, with light makeup on her face and a bright smile: "Miss Lu, long time no see, I haven't had time to thank you for saving me last time."

There was some discrepancy between that face and the delicate and glamorous look in memory, Lu Ran tentatively asked, "Li Xiaoying?"

"Yeah! Why, can't you recognize it?"

One of Han Moyan's past tense girlfriends, recalling the scene of saving her in the toilet of this bar last time, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Lu Ran smiled lightly: "It's a little bit, Miss Li is much more beautiful now."

To be honest, the current appearance looks at least five years younger than when they met.

"Probably because I have found a lover again. Although he is not as good as Han Moyan, at least he loves me very much and is very considerate to me. He is almost obedient. Although he does not have the passion of love in the past, he is also Without that kind of mental and physical exhaustion, I live a peaceful and contented life, and I feel very happy now."

Lifting the ring on her hand, Li Xiaoying smiled a little shyly: "We will get married in March next year."

It can be discerned that the woman in front of her is not showing off her happiness but simply wants to convey this joy.

Lu Ran raised his glass and smiled: "Then I have to congratulate you."

"I'm sorry for Han Moyan's embarrassment to you before. At that time, it was probably... because of jealousy. Even though I was his girlfriend, he cared more about you than me."

A trace of bitterness flashed in Li Xiaoying's eyes, but was soon filled with happiness, "Actually, I think Han Moyan is quite pitiful, but if that person is you...maybe you can make him open up."

For some unknown reason, I suddenly had the urge to speak.

Lu Ran smiled lowly: "You think highly of me, Han Moyan has someone in his heart, but it's not me."

"You mean that woman? Didn't she go abroad a long time ago?"

"You know?" Lu Ran was slightly surprised, and then said calmly, "She's back."

Li Xiaoying looked away slightly: "How could I not know... It's really shameful that a woman who has been away for so many years can't win. She...is back?"

"Well. Do you know anything about them?"

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoying shook her head: "Actually, I don't know very well, I only know that it was the person Han Moyan loved deeply, and they broke up six years ago for some unknown reason, and then that woman went abroad, but..."

Someone behind her called Li Xiaoying's name, she responded, walked quickly to Lu Ran, took out a ballpoint pen from her bag, took Lu Ran's hand, quickly took out her mobile phone, and wrote a name and name in Lu Ran's palm. A string of numbers.

"My fiancé called me, and I'm leaving first. This is his best friend before, but he's very tight-lipped. I hope you can pry out something valuable."

"Thank you."

The eyes gradually slipped from the sweetly hugged man and woman to the palm of his hand, and Lu Ran wrote down the number with his mobile phone.

Mingyuan.

Why does this name sound familiar?

However, it doesn't matter if she can't remember, she only hesitated for a few seconds before making a choice.

After leaving the bar and choosing a quiet place, Lu Ran called the number directly.

It was a very gentle male voice, which sounded even more familiar to her.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Is it Mr. Mingyuan?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"Hello. I'm Han Moyan's girlfriend. I have some questions to ask you."

After a pause, he suddenly smiled and said, "Are you Miss Lu?"

"You recognize me?"

"Oh, we met at the party that day, have you forgotten?"

Lu Ran thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized, isn't it the very gentle man with glasses at that time?What a coincidence.

"Well, remember."

"I don't know what's wrong with you?"

After deliberating for a moment, Lu Ran simply said: "I really want to know what happened between Han Moyan and Zhuang Jing back then? I heard their conversation was not as simple as breaking up peacefully. But he didn't want to tell me directly, so... ..."

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you these things without Ah Yan's consent."

"Even if I'm his girlfriend?"

"……Yes."

Lu Ran changed the way of asking: "I know you want to keep his privacy. You were not in a hurry before, but now Zhuang Jing is back. Do you want to see Han Moyan indulge in Zhuang Jing's memory all his life, unable to extricate himself?"

"...In any case, I respect Ah Yan's choice."

Lu Ran almost wanted to curse, but held back.

Zhuang Jing herself is back, but her understanding of Han Moyan and Zhuang Jing is blank, is she too passive?
She could pretend not to know in front of Han Moyan, but she couldn't deceive herself.

"Well, Mr. Ming, I can't make it clear on the phone, do you have time on weekends?"

The other end pondered for a moment: "Yes, I'm free all day on Saturday."

"Okay, then I will contact you then."

Putting down the phone, Lu Ran shook his head and walked back to the hustle and bustle again.

Whatever that outcome might be, she wondered.

*******************************************************************************
However, before Lai made an agreement with Ming Yuan, one thing broke all her plans.

I rushed to the company to check in early in the morning, but before I got to my seat, Lu Ran saw Han Moyan who was supposed to be working in his office.He stood in her office, the documents beside the desk fell to the ground, he didn't seem to notice, he held a stack of photos in his hand and looked at her slowly, his expression was so indifferent and empty that he was almost a little indifferent.

The moment Lu Ran saw the stack of color photos, his scalp felt numb, his heart beat like thunder, and the temperature on his face shot up.

Except for that one mention, she had never talked with Han Moyan about anything related to Zhuang Jing.

That's a no-no.

But now that Han Moyan knew about it, then...after closing his eyes for two seconds, Lu Ran calmed down, took those photos from Han Moyan's hand and put them back on his desk, and asked calmly, "Why did you look through my drawer? "

Han Moyan did not answer Lu Ran's words, but asked coldly, "Why don't you explain?"

"What explanation do you need?" Lu Ran leaned against the desk, the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a strange arc, and then she raised her hand and slammed the stack of photos on Han Moyan: "And, don't you think what should be explained is actually you?"

A flood of photos landed on Han Moyan's body, and then slowly slid to the ground.

Photos, yes, those are the photos.

Even though it has been twisted and deformed, Lu Ran can still distinguish those two sweet and happy people.

Their happiness is so dazzling.

It was almost like a knife, piercing back and forth in her chest.

Obviously I can turn a blind eye, why do I still feel pain today?Pain that can hardly breathe.

Han Moyan bent down, picked up the scattered photos, put them back into Lu Ran's hands, and said slowly, "Private detective? Lu Ran, I'm very disappointed." His voice was cool.

"Disappointed, and then? Find a reason to get rid of me?"

Lu Ran pressed her heart, turned to look at Han Moyan, and smiled: "Han Moyan, what do you think of when you see these photos? You are actually very happy! Get rid of me, and then, you can be with her again?"

"Is that so!"

Han Lin's expression changed slightly, obviously a little angry, his thin lips lifted, and he was about to speak.

"You don't need to say anything."

However, now she doesn't want to hear even a single word Han Moyan said.

Putting his hand on his forehead, Lu Ran's voice calmed down: "Sorry, I'm too emotional."

It wasn't the first time I lost control of my emotions, but it was the first time I felt that losing control of my emotions would be so embarrassing.

"Today I ask for leave."

Pushing open the door of the office, without waiting for Han Moyan to say anything, Lu Ran turned and left without hesitation.

Walking alone in the empty streets, the wind in December is bitter and precipitous.

The momentary fever slowly subsided, Lu Ran didn't want to do this at first, really didn't want to...

Was the emotional outburst just because Han Moyan treated her coldly because of those photos?

Lu Ran rubbed her frozen hands, wrapped her windbreaker tightly, and continued walking aimlessly, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips unconsciously.

In fact, in the final analysis, it was because she was not confident, so she couldn't calm down when she saw those photos.

Maybe in their eyes, she was the supporting role who didn't know how to sabotage their reunion.

They loved and hated each other, and their hearts were broken, but they didn't do her business at all.

Such thoughts made Lu Ran almost want to give up altogether.

Her nerves were already walking on a tightrope, wandering on the verge of irrationality.
