Bai Ran still said sincerely, “Ah Xuan, I’m sorry about that day.”
There were only the two of them in the house. Yu Xuan pretended to be indifferent and said, “Is that so? How could you be wrong?”
Bai Ran pursed her lips and said, “Ah Xuan, thank you for cooking for me. You’ve never cooked before. You’re really good at it now.”
Yu Xuan was clearly touched, but when she thought of how Bai Ran stood with Chen Chen that day, she was still a little angry. “I didn’t make it specially for you. I only gave it to you because I couldn’t finish it!”
Hearing Yu Xuan say this, Bai Ran knew that she was finally not angry.
Bai Ran immediately walked forward happily and shook Yu Xuan’s slender arm. “Ah Xuan, good Ah Xuan. Don’t be angry with me. I know you’re a magnanimous person and won’t fuss about it with me. Beautiful women are all very magnanimous, right?”
Yu Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry at her coquettish behavior. “Don’t. I won’t forgive you. Let Chen Chen forgive you!”
At the mention of Chen Chen, Yu Xuan felt frustrated again.
However, when Bai Ran came personally, Yu Xuan could not help but be worried. She asked, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you run out alone? It’s already so late. What if you encounter danger?”
Bai Ran looked at her proud and worried expression and smiled. “Look, you still said you wouldn’t forgive me, but in the end, you’re so concerned about me!”
Yu Xuan could not stand Bai Ran’s softness the most. She was like a certain person.
Yu Xuan’s heart instantly melted as she looked at her gently.
Bai Ran’s attitude became serious as well. “Ah Xuan, I really came especially to apologize to you. I’m serious. I hope you’ll forgive me. I… I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that when you were fighting with Chen Chen that day. I’m sorry.”
At the mention of Chen Chen, Yu Xuan was furious. Her attitude became firm again. “You don’t have to apologize. You two are husband and wife to begin with. Chen Chen is right. I interrupted your meal. I’m the one who should apologize.”
Bai Ran quickly pulled Yu Xuan’s arm tighter and replied, “Ah Xuan, it’s not what you think. We’re just ordinary friends.”
After some thought, she felt that it was not sincere enough and added, “There’s really nothing between us. He came to look for me a few days ago and apologized to me. Do you still remember what happened before I went to Mount Yunwu at the Heavenly Lake?”
Yu Xuan was a little unhappy, but when she heard Bai Ran’s sincere apology, she still felt a little better.
She said calmly, “I know. You’re unhappy because Chen Chen left.”
Bai Ran nodded in embarrassment and said, “Yes, I guess so. I can’t lie to you. To be honest, he left when he saw Gu Qian that day. I thought he was unwilling to see him because Gu Qian is his love rival for Hu Wan… So…”
Yu Xuan felt uncomfortable and her expression changed.
Bai Ran looked at her and felt a little guilty.
However, at this moment, she could not lie anymore. She could only tell the truth. She had treated Chen Chen to a meal because the truth of this matter had been revealed.
Chen Chen running to Mount Yunwu to save her could be considered loyal. Her attitude that day was really hurtful.
Seeing that Yu Xuan was unhappy, Bai Ran hurriedly pulled her back and said, “Ah Xuan, I knew that you would definitely be unhappy if I told you the truth, but I can’t lie to you. That day at Mount Yunwu, you came with him to save me. You should have seen it. He also sacrificed a lot. I couldn’t ignore it.”
Yu Xuan was a little relieved. She knew that Bai Ran had always been soft-hearted and kind. If she was still indifferent when faced with such a matter, then she was not Bai Ran.
However, Bai Ran was still so concerned about Chen Chen and Hu Wan’s relationship that Yu Xuan could not ignore it.
“And there’s one more thing…” Bai Ran stammered. “It’s… it’s also about Hu Wan.”
“What’s wrong with Hu Wan?” Yu Xuan asked, knowing the answer.
“Ah Xuan, I only found out recently. I might have really wronged him. He said he didn’t want me to be kept in the dark. Hu Wan’s matter is the first step to prove it to me. He’ll use more truth to prove that he really loves me… Oh, I’m very confused too. I don’t know if I should believe him, but I really saw the evidence.” Bai Ran bit her lips, still in a dilemma.
She did not know if she should tell Yu Xuan about this either. She did not know if Yu Xuan would understand her. After all, Yu Xuan hated her having a conflict with Chen Chen.
