Miss Truth

"Of course it’s true." Xiao Song said with a smile as he folded the paper and placed it on the table, "Let’s go."

Ran Yan hesitated for a moment but still got up to follow him.

Xiao Song said to Ran Yunsheng, "I have an important matter and would like to ask your sister to accompany me on a short trip. We will return in two hours. May we?"

Ran Yunsheng frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Xiao, I’m afraid this is not appropriate. Ran Yan and Mr. Sui Yuan have a verbal engagement, and although Mr. Sui Yuan has not yet formally come to propose, doing this now is ultimately not quite proper."

Nowadays, it was common for young men and women to meet privately, and social customs had become more open. Men and women mingling together for leisure was not unusual. Under normal circumstances, although Xiao Song’s request was abrupt, it would not be too outrageous, especially since it was for "important matters."

Xiao Song sincerely said, "Actually, the situation is such that the people responsible for kidnapping the seventeenth lady have been caught, and we would like her to identify them. I didn’t explain earlier because I didn’t want to cause you worry."

Xiao Song could be earnestly deceptive, his face unflushing and his heart not skipping a beat, making Ran Yunsheng feel as if he had perhaps overthought things.

"So that’s the case, it was I who worried too much." Ran Yunsheng said with an embarrassed expression.

Liu Qingsong now kept his presence as inconspicuous as possible, recalling how gloomy Ran Yan looked just a moment ago, he had no doubt that if he truly angered her later, the consequences would be very serious.

"I’ll accompany you as well." Ran Yunsheng said.
