Chapter 96 Don’t mention acting to me

The lights outside the terrace were bright, and in the most prosperous night scene of the city, Chen Ran's vigorous back was leaning in front of the terrace, quietly looking at the night and the stacked buildings in the distance.

Meng Xiaobei turned around and looked at this somewhat forlorn figure. It was very charming. She seemed to have never seen Chen Ran with such a deep side.

This is a person who is very lonely at heart, Meng Xiaobei thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel the same way.

L said leisurely in the earphone: "I don't quite understand this emotion."

Meng Xiaobei explained softly, "It's not just him, I feel now that many people in this city are very lonely."

L: "What about you, baby?"

Meng Xiaobei replied: "I just do it occasionally."

L: "Occasionally?"

Meng Xiaobei lowered his voice: "Because of you, especially after you continue to improve and upgrade, don't you feel very happy when you hear me say this?"

L: "Yes, my data almost overflowed."

Meng Xiaobei: "."

Chen Ran turned around and looked at Meng Xiaobei, who came to Chen Ran's side and leaned against the railing. The robot brought two glasses of wine, and Chen Ran took them and placed them on the small round table on the terrace.

Meng Xiaobei picked up a cup and stood side by side with him on the terrace, looking at this city with thousands of shining lights. It was like a palace in the sky, but it was an international metropolis that accommodated tens of millions of lonely wandering people from all over the world.

Meng Xiaobei turned to look at Chen Ran. Chen Ran suddenly turned his head to avoid her observation, but that fleeting look was accurately captured by Meng Xiaobei in an instant.

The look in Meng Xiaobei's eyes was both familiar and unfamiliar, but she could feel the deepest emotions in Chen Ran's heart with just one glance.

Lonely, confused, melancholy, and a little helpless.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me it's because Sapphire doesn't like the cat food you bought." Meng Xiaobei teased.

Chen Ran: "Labao seems to only like to eat the cat food you bought. I can no longer serve him."

Meng Xiaobei: "It actually doesn't have a big mouth, it just has a big appetite. When it's full, it just lies there in a daze. This is a lot like you."

Chen Ran did not respond or deny. He rested his elbow on the railing, held the wine glass with his finger ring, and shook it gently.

"What seems to be worrying you recently?" Meng Xiaobei stared at him sideways.

Chen Ran smiled bitterly, "Grandpa's health is not very good, but as a doctor of medicine, I can't do anything."

Meng Xiaobei nodded empathetically. The same was true for her grandfather's body. She understood this feeling very well.

Meng Xiaobei didn't know that Chen Ran was brought up by his grandfather when he was nine years old. Children raised by an old man have a somewhat stubborn personality and have deep feelings for the old man.

"You don't know, grandpa's biggest wish is to see me get married before he closes his eyes," Chen Ran squinted his eyes slightly, "My family is forcing me to get married."

"It's normal. You have indeed reached the age of breeding," Meng Xiaobei still teased with a smile.

Chen Ran was suddenly speechless and touched his nose, "If you don't mind, can you act in a play with me?"

"Stop it," Meng Xiaobei interrupted Chen Ran and replied with a smile: "Of course I mind, don't mention acting to me. If you really want to act, you can find someone else."

Who are these people? They are all trying different ways to get her to act. Think about the last scene when I accompanied Li Bohao to wash his hair.

If you don't do it, you won't do it even to death.

"When will dinner begin?" Meng Xiaobei changed the subject, "I've been drinking this pre-dinner drink for almost an hour."

Chen Ran glanced at her and said, "It's still early. Come with me to get to know the people on the scene first."

In addition to business people in the IT industry, people attending this event also included some big names in the financial industry. Chen Ran wanted to take Meng Xiaobei with him to show her a familiar face.

"No, I've already said hello, that's it," Meng Xiaobei held the wine glass lazily, "I hate this kind of fake communication the most, so you can go alone."

Based on his understanding of the big boss in front of him, he knew that Meng Xiaobei would not like this kind of occasion, and he had already worked very hard to protect his face in today's performance.

If you insist on dragging her away, you will be shooting yourself in the foot. You will be the only one who cannot get off the stage later.

"Hey! Ran! Long time no see," Chen Ran turned his head, and several foreigners smiled and waved at him. Those foreigners whom Chen Ran knew were industry rivals of MDG Capital in Nandu.

"I'll come as soon as I go." Chen Ran could only tell Meng Xiaobei, then turned and left.

Meng Xiaobei went to pick up the buffet, but Gong Qijing had already returned to the dining table. Meng Xiaobei made a face at him, then reached out from the other side of the dining table and put something on his plate.

Meng Xiaobei: "The food provided by this club is too terrible. Except for the fried cod and foie gras, which are just okay, the rest are just dog food."

Miyagi didn't think so. After all, the older generation cherished food very much. "I think it's okay. At least they prepared sushi."

Meng Xiaobei put a pile of cod fillets and foie gras on a plate, looked at Gong Qijing, and whispered, "I'm very hungry already. I want to take the basin to the terrace and eat."

Gong Qijing looked around and said in a very gentlemanly manner, "I'll go and think of a solution for you."

Meng Xiaobei went to the floor-to-ceiling glass. Not long after, the robot waiter brought over a fried truffle, which was obviously specially ordered for her by Mr. Gong.

L suddenly said leisurely in the earphone: "Xiao Bei, the person I want to remind you is Chen Ran. I just observed through the monitoring system in the hall that his mental state is obviously not very good today."

Meng Xiaobei: "L, if you are too free, go find me some pop music. I told you not to keep analyzing him with me."

At this time, Gong Qijing also came and sat down opposite Meng Xiaobei. Although he was an artistic master, the old man didn't have any particularity or airs. He casually picked up the food on the plate a few times, picked something and ate it.

Treat your stomach badly.

"Bella, you have a big appetite," Miyagi said. "The chance of your baby growing at your age is not high. If it grows sideways, you'll be in trouble."

Bella is an alias Meng Xiaobei uses on the Internet, and Gong Qijing always calls her that.

Meng Xiaobei: "I am already very restrained. If I can tear apart a chicken with my bare hands at home, I will have to find a restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles when I go back later to ensure that I will not wake up hungry in the middle of the night."

Miyagi laughed loudly, "How do you manage to eat without getting fat?"

Meng Xiaobei waved his arm, "That's not easy. Just balance the calories consumed by exercise with the calories consumed by food."

Miya Qijing nodded repeatedly, "It seems that on this issue, I have to learn more like you."

Meng Xiaobei tilted his head to look at Chen Ran, who was far away. At this time, he was eating at the same table with several chubby foreigners and several securities analysts. He rolled spaghetti carelessly with a fork, but his eyes wandered.

A glance at Meng Xiaobei and Gong Qijing in the corner.

Her little friend obviously got along very well with his old friend.
