Chapter 145 105: A Bright Moon Rises with the Tide
Dad?
Role-playing?
Eww...
'I'm not calling Su Ran "Dad."'
At the door, Su Ran caressed her cheek and said, "I'll be in Shanghai for the next two days, so I can continue your treatment. After I leave, you should come to this beauty salon. I just checked it out, and it's very professional. I also put 100,000 yuan on a VIP membership for you. From now on, come here and have a good female technician give you your massages, understand? This place is great, so you can bring Jinyu and the others for treatments when you have time. It'll be fine."
Xiao Wanqing nodded. "I know. But... about you continuing my treatment for the next two days... maybe we should just skip it? They're all coming back today. It would be so embarrassing."
Su Ran said, "What's there to be afraid of? It's a proper medical treatment. I already told Sister Jinyu you were sick."
"You're the one who's sick! Wait... you told her that you were...?"
"Yeah. Is there some reason I shouldn't have?"
'Unbelievable.'
'Xiao Wanqing wished she could find a hole to crawl into. He was such a straight-shooter. He really told them everything—the man couldn't keep his mouth shut for a second. With his tendency to blab about everything, Xiao Wanqing felt lucky that they hadn't done anything physical yet. Otherwise, the moment they finished, he'd probably go and tell the other three women, "I slept with Xiao Wanqing." That's what he'd do, right?'
'She didn't dare ask.'
Xiao Wanqing asked sheepishly, "So, you told them. What was their reaction?"
Su Ran propped his chin on his hand and thought for a moment. "Hmm... Aina was scared. She asked if they'd have to amputate it if it got serious."
"Well, I'll be sure to thank her."
Su Ran patted her on the shoulder. "Dr. Wang also said the chances of mastitis turning into breast cancer are very low. Of course, low chance doesn't mean no chance. So don't worry. I won't let anything happen to your beautiful... ahem."
"Oh, I'll be sure to thank you too."
'As if you aren't just trying to get in my pants so you can play with them,' she thought.
In reality, the five of them were very open with each other in private. Besides, Su Ran had given the other four beauty spa treatments before; they'd seen it all. So, the fact that Su Ran was "treating" Xiao Wanqing wasn't something the other three found particularly awkward. They were more concerned about her health. Of course, that was on one condition... all three women had asked Su Ran the same question: "Did you use this as an opportunity to sleep with Xiao Wanqing?"
Su Ran swore he hadn't. It was purely for treatment. If they didn't want him to treat her, fine, she could be left to her fate.
Only then were the three women reassured. Of course, did they just take his word for it? After they got back, they were going to "inspect" Xiao Wanqing. *Pfft...*
"Even though you're in Shanghai for the next two days, I don't want you to treat me."
"Is my technique not good enough?"
"It's not a problem with your technique. It's your attitude. There's not a shred of feeling in it."
'I'm about to pass out from sensory overload, and she wants me to be more emotional?'
Su Ran was speechless.
"Thank you for the feedback. I'll keep it in mind. Tonight, I'll add a little more 'emotional color.' I hope Ms. Xiao will be satisfied."
"Fine, I'll let you have at it one more time. If it's still the same, I'm not letting you do it again."
"Alright. Let's go. We need to pick up Jinyu from the airport."
"I can't go. My aunt is coming over for dinner, and my mom wants me back early. You go ahead. I'll come find you guys this afternoon."
"I'll give you a ride first, then."
"Okay."
Su Ran drove Xiao Wanqing to the entrance of her residential complex. Before she got out, Xiao Wanqing leaned in to give him a kiss, but Su Ran did a tactical lean-back and dodged it.
Xiao Wanqing asked, "What are you dodging for?"
Su Ran said, "Jinyu will get the wrong idea."
Xiao Wanqing scoffed, "To hell with her getting the wrong idea. Get over here!" After saying her piece, she assertively pulled Su Ran toward her, kissed him, and then pulled away.
Su Ran chuckled. 'Life sure is tough. A guy really needs to know how to protect himself.'
He then drove to the airport.
Xiao Wanqing didn't go straight back to her apartment. Instead, she stopped at a lingerie shop near the complex entrance and picked out two sets of underwear. The main reason was that her bras had been feeling a bit tight recently. After trying on a few, she discovered she'd gone up half a cup size.
'Oh my god, do Su Ran's hands have some kind of Magic?'
...
At the airport, after parking the car, Su Ran ran into an acquaintance: Reba.
Reba saw him too and stood up ahead, waiting for him to jog over. "Sister Reba, are you leaving?"
"Yeah, I'm heading to the Imperial Capital first for a promotional event, then I'm off to Hengdian tonight for a shoot. I'm in a rush to catch my flight, so I'm heading in. We'll talk on the phone."
"Okay."
After seeing Reba off, Su Ran waited in the arrivals hall for a little while before Liu Jinyu emerged, pulling her suitcase behind her.
She was wearing a pair of tight jeans. The moment she saw Su Ran, she let go of her suitcase, rushed forward, and leaped right onto him. *Mwah!* She gave him a kiss and, with her arms wrapped around his neck, asked, "Did you miss me?"
Su Ran cupped her full bottom, clad in denim.
'Long legs in stockings were tempting, but tight jeans weren't half bad either.'
"Of course I did."
"Good boy. *Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah...*"
She planted several more kisses on him in a frenzy, making the nearby passersby look on with envy.
'Sigh... more kissing.'
'Two different women kissing me like this, and it's still early in the morning. I'm so tired.'
"Come on, let's find a place to sit down and wait for Aina."
Aina's flight was scheduled to land in Shanghai at ten o'clock. It was just after eight now, so the two of them went to a beverage shop in the airport and ordered two drinks.
"Oh, right. This is a present for you," Su Ran said, taking a small gift box out of his bag and handing it to Liu Jinyu.
Liu Jinyu excitedly opened it to find a DR necklace. She was deeply moved. After all, their slogan was "You can only love one person in a lifetime." 'So... does that mean I'm the only one in his heart?'
"Do you like it?"
"Mhm, I love it. Put it on for me."
"Okay."
Su Ran put it on for her and admired it for a moment. It was very beautiful.
"Are the gifts in those other two small boxes for me too?"
"No, those are for Yiren and Aina. It's nothing special. I just bought four DR necklaces for you guys all at once at the International Finance Center."
"..." Liu Jinyu's affection points dropped by 100. "So you bought them in bulk?"
