The cold-hearted president falls in love with the vengeful princess

Chapter 496 I went to call Yan Yan over, and I told her...

When Nie Ranran woke up the next day, her head was slightly dizzy. She slowly sat up in bed, her eyebrows and eyes twitching slightly. She opened her eyes, her eyeballs rolling around. Then, she threw off the blanket, put her feet on the carpet, and stood up. What had she done yesterday? She raised her hands to cover her head, trying to recall what had happened last night.

As she was thinking, the bedroom door opened. Nie Ranran quickly bent down and put on slippers around her ankles. She straightened up, walked to the bedroom door, opened it, and stepped out. Nie Ranran reached the bedroom door and pulled the doorknob with her right hand.

The butler came into view, and he smiled gently: Good morning, Miss Ranran. Would you like breakfast now? It's almost nine o'clock. The young master asked me to tell you that if you don't have time, you can bring breakfast to the company. I've made it for you, so you can take it to the company to eat.

Nie Ranran was slightly taken aback. Her clear, crescent-shaped eyes suddenly widened. Butler Mu bowed deeply. Then, she blinked her bright, crescent-shaped eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? Did the young master order you to do this? Butler Mu, has he already left? Did he go to the company?"

Butler Mu nodded slightly. Nie Ranran parted her red lips slightly and said "Oh, oh, oh" a few times. She turned around and quickly walked towards the bathroom. Butler Mu bowed behind her and said: "Then I will wait for you at the door, Miss. Breakfast has been prepared for you and is in the living room, Miss Ranran."

A moment later, Nie Ranran followed the butler downstairs. She glanced around, then turned her head slightly to look at the dining room. The dining room door was closed. She snapped out of her thoughts and followed the butler to the villa's living room. The butler quickly picked up the lunchbox from the coffee table, and Nie Ranran looked at him.

Nie Ranran blinked her bright eyes, looked down at the lunchbox, placed one hand on her left palm, and opened the lid of the lunchbox with the other. Inside were three compartments: wonton soup dumplings, glutinous rice, egg, and cheese cake, and a little bit of lettuce, beef slices, and tomato porridge. She raised her eyes and looked calmly at Butler Mu.

Butler Mu straightened up, and Nie Ranran smiled warmly, "Okay, thank you, Butler Mu. I'll take it to the company to eat. Do you know what I did last night, Butler Mu?"

Butler Mu was taken aback. He chuckled and said, "Last night? Miss Ranran, what happened to you last night?" "I don't know, Miss. I was in the kitchen all night and didn't leave until almost midnight."

Nie Ranran shook her head and chuckled, "Ah? No, nothing. Butler Mu, I'll be going now to the company. Thank you for breakfast." Nie Ranran smiled, her eyes crinkling. She lowered her head slightly, straightened her back, and waved the lunchbox with her right hand.

The butler nodded and bowed, saying, "Okay, Miss. Please drive carefully on your way to work." Nie Ranran nodded, walked over the butler's shoulder, and started walking towards the door with a handbag on one hand and a steaming lunchbox in the other.

The Maserati was traveling at 25 miles per hour on the roads of Ancheng. She skillfully turned the steering wheel with both hands, her right hand on the brake, and her free hand pulled the engine.

At 9:30 a.m., Nie Ranran's Maserati arrived at the entrance of the Nan Group. She opened the car door, took her handbag, got out of the car, and walked towards the company entrance.

Entering her office, Nie Ranran placed the lunchbox on her desk. She picked it up, walked to the sofa, and sat down with her legs stretched out flat on the ground. She opened the lunchbox, and a rich aroma wafted out, especially the smell of wonton soup dumplings.

That evening, Gu Tingchen started his Lamborghini and pulled it to the side of the road. At that moment, the phone on the steering wheel lit up. His deep, dark eyes swept over the phone and, seeing that it was Song Yuyan, Gu Tingchen instinctively slammed on the brakes, causing the Lamborghini to lurch forward.

Immediately, Gu Tingchen picked up his phone from the steering wheel, stretched out his long arm, swiped the screen, and saw the name Song Yuyan. His deep, dark eyes softened, his thin lips curved slightly, and he pressed the answer button, placing the phone to his ear.

The voice on the phone was that of Song Yuyan, who had just woken up, sounding slightly drowsy. Gu Tingchen's handsome face showed a faint smile, and his hawk-like dark eyes softened. He parted his thin lips slightly and said in a low, gentle voice, "What's wrong? Yuyan, it's almost seven o'clock. I just got off work. Did you just wake up?"

On the phone, Song Yuyan sneezed. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she wrinkled her nose. Her watery eyes slowly opened, and she sat up slowly, her right hand supporting her pregnant belly. Her red lips moved slightly as she said, "Yes, I just woke up. I was so sleepy today. I only ate breakfast this morning, and I didn't eat lunch or dinner. I just slept until now."

Gu Tingchen narrowed his dark eyes, which seemed to hold a deep, unfathomable look. He raised his head slightly and turned to look out the car window. Outside, the cars were bustling about, and the sky was slightly gloomy. He turned his head back and looked straight ahead.

Song Yuyan opened her eyes wide as she slowly woke up from her drowsiness. She smiled sweetly and said, "By the way, at one o'clock in the morning, I ate the strawberry ice cream that your assistant brought me. It tasted so good! There were so many strawberries, and it wasn't too sweet. My stomach didn't feel uncomfortable or anything after I ate it, hehe."

Gu Tingchen smiled, his dark eyes softening. He pursed his lips slightly and said softly, "Oh, is that so? If it's not enough, remember to call me and I'll have Qin Mo bring some more over, Yan Yan."

Song Yuyan's watery eyes widened in surprise. Her red lips parted slightly, and she smiled sweetly, saying, "Okay, okay, hahaha, Tingchen, thank you. Nan Zeyu won't let me eat any of these. The day before yesterday, I wanted to order takeout, but he found out and confiscated my phone for half an hour. He only gave it back to me when I was almost asleep."

Just by listening to Song Yuyan's slightly angry voice on the phone, Gu Tingchen could imagine what her face looked like: a snow-white face puffed up with anger, red lips pursed, clear and bright eyes brimming with rage, and her arched eyebrows.

Song Yuyan frowned, blinked her big eyes, and tilted her head in confusion, asking, "What's wrong? Tingchen, why aren't you saying anything? I'm telling the truth. He's been lecturing me for half an hour, and I can't keep my eyes open anymore. I'm sitting on the sofa, feeling incredibly sleepy, and he's just rambling on and on in front of me."

Gu Tingchen's dark eyes remained calm. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and after a moment of silence, Gu Tingchen's thin lips parted slightly and he said: "Zeyu is doing this for your own good, isn't he? Yan Yan, you're not wrong to listen to him. I've checked this strawberry ice cream myself. It's all low in sugar and made by hand. You can eat it without worry."

Song Yuyan nodded happily, holding her phone in her left hand and stroking her swollen pregnant belly with her right. She smiled slightly and said, "Mmm, I know. How's Ranran? How's she doing? Are you all alright?"

Gu Tingchen's dark eyes narrowed, his handsome face darkened slightly, and a cold light flashed in his dark eyes. He moved his thin lips and said, "This girl didn't eat dinner last night. She was drinking some kind of fruit wine in the bedroom. I saw her when I went in. I don't know what's wrong with Ranran?" Song Yuyan stared wide-eyed in surprise, her round eyes widening and bulging.

Song Yuyan frowned and said, "What happened? What's wrong with Ranran? Why is she drinking? Did you two have a fight? Should I call Ranran and ask, Tingchen?" Gu Tingchen quickly replied, "No, no, no need. Yuyan, it's probably something to do with her work. It's nothing."

Finally, Song Yuyan felt an urgent need to urinate and had to hang up the phone. Gu Tingchen listened to the dial tone, put down his phone, tossed it onto the passenger seat, turned the steering wheel with his left hand, started the car, and with his right hand on the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and the Lamborghini sped away.

Nie Ranran was starving after get off work. She had assisted her assistant Bai Xun with some of President Nan's work at noon and hadn't eaten anything all day. It was almost 4 p.m. when she finished. She looked at her watch; it was already 6:15 p.m. She walked to the subway entrance.

There were snack shops, milk tea shops, and dessert shops inside the subway station. This was the subway station of the Nan Group. The subway station was magnificent and even the walkways were full of gold. The walls were also decorated with carvings of famous foreign brands. Nie Ranran walked into the subway.

At this moment, the subway station was crowded with people rushing towards the card reader. She glanced back at the subway station and strode towards a dessert shop at the back. The dessert shop was neither too big nor too small, and its decoration style was very Japanese and Korean. She opened the lace-trimmed half-closed glass door and walked into the dessert shop.

Heavy metal Korean songs were playing in the dessert shop. Nie Ranran's bright eyes widened in surprise. What kind of song was that? She knew a little Korean, but this kind of Korean song was heavy metal. She didn't think she had ever heard it before. She walked forward and casually found a seat to sit down.

She ordered a cream puff pineapple bun, a plate of seafood meat sauce spaghetti, and a small bowl of taro ball cheese mochi milk ice. Nie Ranran put her handbag on the table, looked down at the desserts she had ordered, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and her bright eyes blinked, looking very appetizing. She raised her hands and picked up the beautiful crystal spoon.

Half an hour later, Nie Ranran walked out of the dessert shop. Although the dessert shop was not big, the food was just enough to fill her up. She wouldn't need to eat much when she got back to the Gu family home that night. She walked to the card reader, where a few people were queuing behind her. She locked her Maserati in the company's underground parking lot, so she planned to take the subway home today.

After a while, Nie Ranran entered the subway station. She got off the escalator and walked straight ahead. The subway train was heading towards the Gu family villa, but after exiting the subway, it would take another half an hour by taxi to get there. Nie Ranran stood on the safety line in the subway station.

A few minutes later, the subway came from behind with a rumbling sound. Nie Ranran turned her head and saw the gray-black subway coming. Immediately, the people ran back like crazy. Nie Ranran was stunned at first, then she was confused and also lifted her leg and ran back.

The subway was packed with people, so many that Nie Ranran frowned. "So many people? Should I wait for the next one?" Just as the subway started to beep, Nie Ranran ran forward and squeezed her petite body into the subway. The doors closed, and Nie Ranran was pushed against the elbow of a man in front of her. She looked up.

Embarrassed, she blushed. Her eyes widened, her pupils dilating as she saw the man's face darken. Nie Ranran tried to straighten up, but someone was still pressing against her waist from behind, causing her to hiss in pain. She instinctively reached up to touch her lower back.

Just then, the dark-faced man moved closer to Nie Ranran. He raised his right hand and pulled her towards him, causing her to fall into his arms. Nie Ranran bumped into an embrace that smelled of sea salt and lemon. She quickly looked up and met the man's deep, unfathomable black and white eyes, which were clear and distinct.

Nie Ranran blinked her clear eyes slightly, her delicate face blushing slightly. He was wearing a mask, pulled down to below his nose, only covering his lips, revealing his eyes, high nose, and dark, sword-like eyebrows. Judging by the man's height, Nie Ranran raised her eyes, and the man's clear black and white eyes looked at her.

Nie Ranran looked up at the man's head. He was over 187 cm tall, quite tall. His hair was slightly chestnut brown with choppy bangs. Nie Ranran had a little difficulty breathing. She wanted to open her mouth, but when the man saw that she was having trouble breathing, he bent down.

He looked at Nie Ranran, whose right hand was on her chest. The man leaned closer and asked in a louder voice, "Are you alright, miss?" Nie Ranran heard a gust of wind. She looked up, and the man's sudden closeness startled her, making her face flush. She widened her eyes, and the man glared fiercely at the group of female college students behind him.

The female college students, seeing the man's cold and piercing gaze, were so frightened that they quickly stopped pushing Nie Ranran. They turned around and moved forward. The man then helped Nie Ranran up, who couldn't straighten her back. Nie Ranran felt a sharp pain in her lower back. She straightened up and looked at the man with her watery eyes in a panic.

The man released her waist from behind, and Nie Ranran stared blankly at him. The man had the kind of ugly-handsome face. He pulled down half of his black and white mask, revealing slightly thick lips, which were far less than Gu Tingchen's thin lips. She blinked her clear, watery eyes, and the man smiled slightly and said: "Hello, Miss, my name is Leng Senjun."
