Chapter 17: Chapter 17 I Want to Help Ranran Marry into a Wealthy Family Soon
Tang Siqi turned back to look in Ye Ranran's direction and nodded with a smile, "Yeah, but I shouldn't go back now. Would it be okay for me to join your table?"
Given the current state of relations between their families, Xiao Mochi would not refuse Tang Siqi, so before Xiao Sichen could speak, he already nodded and said, "Sure, it's our honor to share a table with a beauty."
After the three of them sat down, Tang Siqi looked at Xiao Sichen and saw that his gaze seemed to linger in Ye Ranran's direction for a few seconds. He then smiled gently and explained, "That's my best friend, Ye Ranran. She's here for a blind date again today, always hoping to marry someone wealthy. She keeps pestering me to help arrange it."
While speaking, Tang Siqi frowned slightly, letting out a somewhat melancholic sigh, "I've arranged more than fifty blind dates for her, and not one has met her standards. She always says they aren't wealthy enough."
As she talked, she observed Xiao Sichen's reaction. Seeing that the man remained expressionless, she joked to Xiao Mochi, "Mochi, do you have any suitable single gentlemen over there? I want to help Ranran marry into a wealthy family soon so she doesn't waste herself on just any man."
Hearing this, Xiao Mochi stroked his chin and laughed, "My young friends wouldn't be a good match for her; they're choosy and they like gold-diggers the least."
"I see... Well, it's actually not so bad. Apart from being materialistic and having a somewhat messy personal life, Ranran doesn't have any bad habits. She's very lively. Please keep an eye out for me, okay? Consider it a favor," Tang Siqi pleaded, bringing her hands together and gently batting her eyelashes.
Xiao Mochi, who rarely refused requests from beautiful girls, laughed and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."
Xiao Sichen listened to their conversation without saying a word, but his gaze had already locked onto Ye Ranran's location.
Ye Ranran, without Tang Siqi, was like a little witch whose seals had been broken; her face no longer held the earlier sham of compliance, and she was very direct in her speech.
"Mr. Han, you're not my type," she said in a tone that was still relatively polite.
Tang Siqi was not far away, and she didn't want to embarrass her, so she tried not to lay a hand on this man.
"Why? Did I not perform well today? Miss Ye, you can't tell a man's true nature at the dining table. You need to get to know me deeper to see if I'm good enough." Han Nuo flashed a wicked smile.
Ye Ranran furrowed her brows, her face displaying an expression as if she had swallowed a fly.
She detested most those married men who still pretended to be single to deceive girls, and Han Nuo was clearly the type she loathed.
"Are you not feeling well? Should we go somewhere else?" Han Nuo hadn't noticed Ye Ranran's anger and, presumptuously, reached out to touch the tip of her nose.
Ye Ranran instinctively stepped back, standing up with displeasure, "Sorry, Mr. Han, but I need to go home and put my child to sleep."
"You have a child?" Han Nuo wore a face of disbelief.
Ye Ranran nodded, "Yes, so I'll be leaving first."
With those words, she turned to leave, while simultaneously composing a message on her phone to Tang Siqi.
And Tang Siqi, in turn, was sending a message to Han Nuo, encouraging him to pursue her.
Interested in Ye Ranran, Han Nuo wouldn't give up tonight for anything, so after paying the bill, he followed her all the way to the entrance.
"Miss Ye, please wait..." Han Nuo stopped Ye Ranran.
Outside, there weren't many people, so he was bolder, and his hand directly touched Ye Ranran's wrist.
Ye Ranran's eyes darkened as she stared at the man's hand, "Mr. Han, please let go!"
But Han Nuo gripped even tighter, recalling Tang Siqi's words and interpreting Ye Ranran's reaction as playing hard to get.
"Miss Ye, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I'll give you a good price tonight; you won't be at a loss," Han Nuo smirked, his face full of ill-intent.
And these words directly touched Ye Ranran's bottom line. She didn't get angry but laughed instead, "Mr. Han wants to give me money?"
Han Nuo thought she was giving in and nodded with a smile, "Of course, as long as you satisfy me, you can have as much as you want, I can even... keep you."
"Aren't you afraid your wife will find out?" Ye Ranran asked.
The man was taken aback but then he thought since Tang Siqi knew about his situation, he probably already told Ye Ranran, he said, "Why would I be afraid of that old hag? Baby, don't worry, I'm the one who makes the calls at home."
Ye Ranran gave the man a deep look, slowly pulled out her hand, and smiled lightly, "I see, so is Mr. Han planning to take me to his villa or a hotel?"
Seeing Ye Ranran had agreed, Han Nuo got a little excited and moved closer to Ye Ranran, "You decide, I'll listen to you."
"Then let's do something exciting." Ye Ranran pointed at the car.
"I like that too, let's go!" Han Nuo, pulling Ye Ranran's arm, strode toward the parking lot.
After the car started, Han Nuo began planning the route, intending to go to a hilltop park he frequented before.
Ye Ranran didn't say a word, her fingers gliding back and forth over the screen of her cell phone.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the destination. Han Nuo turned off the engine, then opened the convertible top and professionally reclined the car seat, asking eagerly, "You like this, don't you?"
Ye Ranran shook her head and pushed the car door open, "It's more spacious outside."
Excited, Han Nuo followed her out and stood in front of Ye Ranran, licking his lips, "You little elf, you really know how to have fun."
While they were talking, another car stopped behind some bushes.
The driver, Xiao Sichen, quietly watched Ye Ranran's side. His icy face was covered with a thick layer of frost, as if he was about to erupt at any moment.
He didn't believe Ye Ranran was the kind of girl Tang Siqi described, so he found a reason to follow her, only to find they'd come to this place.
Had he been wrong? Was this girl, with her clear eyes, really that complex?
Xiao Sichen's fingers were tightly gripping the steering wheel, veins bulging on the back of his hand, and as he saw Ye Ranran's hand rest on the man's shoulder, his foot had already moved to the accelerator...
But before he could press down, he witnessed another scene.
Ye Ranran suddenly grabbed Han Nuo's collar and gave him a standard shoulder throw.
After that, she moved swiftly to strike harshly several times between the man's legs.
Han Nuo let out a bloodcurdling scream, even frantically threatening Ye Ranran, spewing venom, but Ye Ranran turned a deaf ear and struck him harder and harder with each hit.
Moreover, she was especially professional, avoiding the man's face and any visible areas with every strike.
Finally, Han Nuo couldn't take it anymore and began to beg for mercy, covering the area between his legs, "Spare me! I beg you, spare me!"
Ye Ranran smiled faintly, stepped on his chest, and undid the hair elastic from her head, then she tousled her hair, smudged her lipstick, and tore her neckline and dress to create a disheveled look.
The bewildered Han Nuo on the ground asked, "What... what are you trying to do?"
Rubbing her eyes to gather tears, Ye Ranran pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
