Upstairs, Ye Zixun saw Lan Baobao sitting in Mu Jiangfeng's car, and his anger reached its peak. Ye Zixun felt like he could kill Mu Jiangfeng; it was truly shameless. Instead of chasing after them, Ye Zixun sat angrily in his study. He couldn't figure out what could have caused such a drastic change in Lan Baobao in such a short time; it was as if she had gained the courage of a lion.
"Wow, an amusement park!" Once Mu Jiangfeng's car came to a stop, Lan Baobao immediately exclaimed with excitement upon seeing their destination. It had been a long time since she had visited an amusement park.
"How about it, Baby? Do you like this?" Seeing Lan Baobao's joyful expression, Mu Jiangfeng felt happy as well. However, he still maintained a gentle smile as he asked her.
Lan Baobao was momentarily lost in Mu Jiangfeng's tenderness, feeling as if Brother Mu had always treated her as an equal. He always embraced her wholeheartedly and helped her without ever complaining.
"Baby, Baby?" When Mu Jiangfeng noticed that Lan Baobao had been silent for a long time, he thought she might be unwell and quickly asked her.
Lan Baobao snapped back to reality at the sound of Mu Jiangfeng's voice and felt a bit embarrassed. Recently, she seemed to have been daydreaming a lot; perhaps she was just thinking too much.
"Ah? I'm fine, I'm just really happy," Lan Baobao said, sticking out her tongue playfully.
Mu Jiangfeng reached out to ruffle Lan Baobao's hair with a warm smile. "Then let's have fun today! Come on, let's go."
Lan Baobao nodded vigorously and bounced alongside Mu Jiangfeng, her face radiating joy. Seeing her smile made Mu Jiangfeng feel captivated. What a wonderful girl she was, yet she was married to someone else. His heart was filled with resentment; even now, he had not given up on pursuing Lan Baobao. Even if she was married, Mu Jiangfeng could wait—he would wait until Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao divorced.
Yes, Mu Jiangfeng knew that Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao were in a contractual marriage. Although hiring a private investigator to look into Ye Zixun felt wrong to him, he thought it was worth bending his conscience for the chance to be with Lan Baobao. He had devoted his entire heart to her; even though she didn't know his feelings now, Mu Jiangfeng was truly willing to wait.
Lan Baobao and Mu Jiangfeng began enjoying their time at the amusement park, both of them smiling brightly and looking exceptionally compatible. However, they were so engrossed in their fun that they overlooked the occasional flashes from cameras capturing their moments.
"Hey, hey, hey, Gu Feng, you really lack grace," at the same time, Li Xiaoran had invited Gu Feng out for a date at—an amusement park. Fortunately for them, they were at a different amusement park.
"Sister Li, we really don't know each other well. What's the point of two strangers going to an amusement park together?" Gu Feng bluntly criticized Li Xiaoran without holding back. As a gang leader, he had little patience for women. Aside from Lan Baobao, all other women seemed the same to him.
"You... hum." Li Xiaoran was so infuriated by Gu Feng's words that she couldn't find anything to retort with; he was like a stubborn rock—so difficult to deal with. She frantically tugged at her hair in frustration.
Seeing that Li Xiaoran hadn't spoken for a long time piqued Gu Feng's curiosity. When he glanced over at her direction, he couldn't help but find it amusing. Li Xiaoran was pouting and muttering to herself while occasionally ruffling her hair. Suddenly, Gu Feng thought this girl named Li Xiaoran was quite interesting; if it weren't for his prior impression of Lan Baobao, perhaps he would have developed feelings for Li Xiaoran.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to thank me for helping you fend off those drinks? Why are you just standing there?" Gu Feng softened slightly upon seeing Li Xiaoran's demeanor and spoke up.
Upon hearing Gu Feng's words, Li Xiaoran's eyes lit up; it seemed that this gang leader wasn't as hard-hearted as he appeared after all—when he showed gentleness, he looked quite handsome. Li Xiaoran couldn't help but start to develop a crush on him.
"Alright, let's get going." Li Xiaoran's expression changed remarkably fast; one moment she was clouded with gloom, and the next, she was beaming with joy. Even Gu Feng, who had been in the underworld for many years, was taken aback by Li Xiaoran's rapid change of demeanor. This woman was indeed quite peculiar. That was the conclusion Gu Feng reached.
"I want to make one thing clear: I won't be going to the amusement park." Gu Feng's statement was a classic case of giving a sweet date followed by a slap. As expected, when Li Xiaoran heard this, her previously excited smile immediately fell.
Gu Feng pretended not to notice anything. It was already quite difficult for him to accompany this woman. In fact, if Li Xiaoran weren't a good friend of Lan Baobao, Gu Feng wouldn't even have bothered to acknowledge her. In Gu Feng's mind, the amusement park was a place meant only for him and his beloved; he wouldn't even consider bringing any other woman there.
Li Xiaoran felt quite restless. How could Gu Feng refuse? It was really disheartening. But then she thought again; after all, she wasn't particularly familiar with Gu Feng yet, so it wasn't surprising that he would decline an outing to the amusement park. Perhaps it would be better to take things slowly, step by step. With this thought, Li Xiaoran calmed down and regained her previous cheerful demeanor.
Gu Feng's expression remained indifferent, showing no signs of fluctuation.
"Then I'll treat you to a meal," Li Xiaoran suggested again.
Gu Feng didn't oppose; he merely nodded silently. In truth, someone like Li Xiaoran, who came from a middle-class background, wouldn't really understand the lifestyle habits of someone like Gu Feng who had always lived in luxury. This time, Gu Feng chose not to criticize Li Xiaoran; he knew her financial situation well enough that remaining silent was his best option.
"Then let me take you to Starlight Restaurant. Although the food is cheap, it's super delicious," Li Xiaoran excitedly recommended to Gu Feng. Of course, she had no idea that Gu Feng usually had meals prepared by personal chefs and wouldn't touch ordinary food.
"Okay, lead the way," Gu Feng surprisingly did not refuse Li Xiaoran's suggestion; perhaps he didn't want to see her radiant smile fade away. That thought crossed his mind.
"Great, no problem!" Li Xiaoran readily agreed.
Excitedly pulling on Gu Feng's sleeve as they walked ahead, Li Xiaoran was unaware that Gu Feng had severe cleanliness issues that were quite extreme. However, for some unknown reason, when he felt her tugging at his sleeve, he surprisingly showed no resistance.
Starlight Restaurant wasn't particularly far from the amusement park; the two walked there together. What should have taken ten minutes turned into half an hour due to Li Xiaoran's chatter and excitement. She thought to herself that as long as she spent more time with Gu Feng and communicated more often, surely he would develop feelings for her.
Gu Feng watched this woman scheming in front of him; although he could see through her intentions clearly, he chose not to expose them. It was actually the first time he encountered such naive antics and naturally didn’t stop her.
"Alright, we're here! This is it," Li Xiaoran exclaimed as she finally arrived at the entrance of Starlight Restaurant while pulling Gu Feng along.
"Yes, we finally made it," Gu Feng nodded in agreement, stretching out the word "finally." Li Xiaoran's face flushed slightly as she felt a bit flustered. Was Gu Feng doing this on purpose? He must have seen through her thoughts.
"Okay, let's hurry inside," Gu Feng said quickly as he couldn't stand seeing Li Xiaoran zoning out anymore.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh." Li Xiaoran nodded repeatedly.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, Li Xiaoran spotted Lan Baobao. Excitedly, she pulled Gu Feng over to Lan Baobao's table and her eyes lit up when she saw Mu Jiangfeng sitting across from Lan Baobao.
Meanwhile, Mu Jiangfeng, who was following behind, frowned slightly in surprise. He found it strange to see Lan Baobao and Mu Jiangfeng together here; logically, she should be with Ye Zixun. Gu Feng was momentarily puzzled as well but simply followed Li Xiaoran to sit at Lan Baobao's table.
"Master Gu, how did you come back here?" Mu Jiangfeng asked in surprise. In his memory, Gu Feng would never appear in a place like this; his status didn't allow him to live freely like ordinary people.
"Master Mu is joking. This is a public place; why can't I come?" Gu Feng replied calmly, his words carrying hidden meanings. Seeing Mu Jiangfeng and Lan Baobao enjoying their meal together ignited a fierce anger within Gu Feng.
Mu Jiangfeng smiled slightly but did not continue the conversation. Lan Baobao's heart skipped a beat; she wondered if Gu Feng would go to Ye Zixun to complain about her being here with Mu Jiangfeng. But then she thought that since Ye Zixun had already slept with Yan Momo, what did it matter if she had a meal with Mu Jiangfeng? With that thought, Lan Baobao finally relaxed.
"Gu Feng, what do you want to eat? I'm telling you, the food here is really delicious." Among the four of them, Li Xiaoran was the least burdened; her only thought was to win over the perfect man that was Gu Feng.
"Just order whatever you want; I'll eat whatever you choose." Gu Feng had never been to a restaurant like this before and knew nothing about the menu, so he decided to leave the decision to Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran was deeply impressed by Gu Feng's behavior and couldn't help but misinterpret his intentions. "So it turns out Gu Feng is such a considerate person," she thought to herself with a secret smile.
Seeing her best friend so enamored with love, Lan Baobao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This silly Li Xiaoran didn't realize that Gu Feng probably didn't want to eat in a place like this. Even if one were to assume otherwise, men of Gu Feng's status wouldn't typically enjoy dining in such establishments. However, Lan Baobao didn't want to point this out in front of everyone; she also didn't want to see Li Xiaoran unhappy.
