Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself-Chapter 772 - 785 Never Underestimate Yourself
In the afternoon, after Mu Xingfeng returned to the Guard Team, An Ran strolled to the coffee shop entrance. Seeing that there weren’t many customers inside, she pushed the door open and walked in.
Barista Jiajia saw her immediately and waved a hand at her.
"Hey beauty, how come you have time to hang out here today? How’s it going recently? I heard you found yourself an ultra-handsome boyfriend?"
Jiajia winked at her as soon as she saw her.
The last time An Youcai scheduled a meeting with An Ran at the coffee shop, Jiajia was at the bar, so she saw everything, including Mu Xingfeng’s appearance later on.
An Ran smiled without saying anything, pointed to an empty seat nearby, "I’ll sit over there for a bit. Get me an Espresso, and join me when you’re not busy."
"Espresso? Feeling heartbroken?" Jiajia exclaimed.
"Go away! You’re the one who’s heartbroken. I just wanted to try the taste of Espresso." An Ran rolled her eyes at Jiajia and went to sit down.
She indeed wanted to try the taste of Espresso, knowing it’s the bitterest of coffees, but she had never tried it before.
She remembered using Espresso to play a trick on Mu Xingfeng last time, and now thinking about it, felt a sweetness in her heart.
Before long, Jiajia brought an Espresso over herself and placed it in front of An Ran.
With a rich aroma, it smelled bitter yet had a clear coffee fragrance. An Ran picked it up and took a small sip, only to feel the bitterness quickly overtaking her taste buds, making her frown involuntarily.
Jiajia smiled and handed over the ice water, "Are you trying to recall the sweet from the bitter? Not everyone can adapt to the taste of Espresso."
An Ran took the ice water, rinsed her mouth twice before she could speak, "No, back when I worked here, I used this to prank someone. Suddenly had a guilty conscience and wanted to know how Espresso tastes."
Jiajia raised an eyebrow, "Anyone who can drink Espresso naturally even when being pranked by you must truly love you. How about your guy?"
Looking at An Ran’s expression, she already knew who she was talking about.
An Ran felt a bit embarrassed from her question but nodded. They chatted for a while until more customers came in, and Jiajia went back to work. An Ran picked up sugar packets, adding them one by one into the coffee, tasting a bit each time, reminiscing about the taste when Mu Xingfeng drank the Espresso back then.
"Long time no see," A graceful and lazy voice sounded. Song Yu sat opposite her.
An Ran quickly stood up, "Manager Song."
Song Yu waved her hand, "You’re not my employee now, you’re my customer, and customers are my gods. Sit down, I hope I’m not disturbing you?"
"Not at all, I just had nothing to do and thought I’d come here and sit for a bit," An Ran sat back down.
Song Yu looked at An Ran. It had been three to four months since she last saw her. The girl seemed to have gained a bit of weight and looked healthier, suggesting that man took good care of her.
Seeing the girl’s features again, indeed made her see a shadow of that person.
Back then, she only felt that this girl looked somewhat familiar, but never thought further. Unexpectedly, the person she had been looking for over a decade had been by her side all this time. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
An Ran felt uneasy under Song Yu’s gaze. It felt similar to how Old Mr. Shen used to look at her, seemingly looking through her to see another person.
"Manager Song," An Ran called timidly.
Song Yu realized her rudeness and chuckled lightly, "It’s nothing. I heard you’re getting engaged?"
"Huh?"
Hardly anyone knew about her relationship with Mu Xingfeng, let alone the engagement. Other than Xiao Xiao, she hadn’t mentioned it to anyone else. How did Manager Song find out?
