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

While having breakfast, Nie Ranran was sitting at the opposite table. She was still in a daze, her eyes lowered, holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other. She was eating a cheese pork chop bun from her plate. She gently cut the honey-glazed pork chop inside the bun with her fingers, picked it up with her knife and fork, and was about to put it in her mouth when, in the next second, a cold glint flashed from the man's eyes as he looked sharply at Nie Ranran at the opposite table.

Nie Ranran was startled. She felt a cold glint in her eyes, and her delicate face wrinkled slightly. Gu Tingchen's thin lips moved slightly as he spoke: "Why are you eating so fast? Is it easy to digest? Doesn't the pork chop bun come with some milk? You're just eating it dry..."

Nie Ranran was completely stunned. She looked up in disbelief, her clear, sparkling eyes fixed on the man with a slightly bewildered expression. She blinked her bright, crescent-shaped eyes and said blankly, "Ah, Brother Chen, this... I didn't know about this. Do we need to bring milk?"

Gu Tingchen casually put down his knife and fork. He raised his dark eyes, which were as deep as an abyss, and looked coldly at Nie Ranran. He nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, what else?" His voice was extremely cold, making Nie Ranran's heart skip a beat.

Why is his voice so cold, without any warmth at all? He… Nie Ranran’s clear eyes quickly welled up with tears. She blinked hard and forced a smile, saying, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Brother Chen. I’ll drink the milk, I’ll drink it.”

The man pursed his lips and remained silent. He lowered his head, while Nie Ranran bit her lip tightly. She frowned, her straight eyebrows furrowing into a deep crease. Her eyes darted around, and she saw the butler standing at the restaurant entrance. She looked over and said softly, "Butler Mu, could you please get me a cup of hot milk with melon from the kitchen?"

The butler, who was standing at the restaurant entrance, turned around and strode over. Nie Ranran turned around, and the butler bowed and said, "You want hot milk, right?" "Yes, Miss, please wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."

Nie Ranran's clear eyes flickered slightly, her red lips curved into a smile. The butler straightened up, glanced at Nie Ranran, and turned away. Nie Ranran's eyes then turned to Gu Tingchen, who was eating red wine and steak while scrolling through his phone with his fingers.

As long as it's something you say, Ranran will listen. Please don't speak to me coldly. Nie Ranran's clear eyes slowly welled up with tears, her eyes slightly moist. She quickly raised her chin and blinked repeatedly.

A moment later, the butler brought over honeydew melon and hot milk. Nie Ranran ate her pork chop bun while drinking the honeydew melon and hot milk. The honeydew melon wasn't very sweet, but it was very fragrant and made her throat feel smooth. She looked down at the dining table, where there were some other breakfast items.

Paper-wrapped shumai buns, corn sausages, barley and red bean milk porridge, and a bowl of meat sauce tomato noodles. Nie Ranran slowly drank the honeydew melon and hot milk in her cup. With her right hand, she cut a small half of the remaining pork chop bun and put it in her mouth with a fork.

The honey-glazed pork chop was juicy and sweet, the bun was soft, hot, and sweet, and there was also a rich raspberry sauce. Nie Ranran swallowed it in one gulp. She stood up, looked directly at the man, and smiled with her red lips: "Brother, I'm finished eating. You can eat slowly. I'm going to the company now."

After Nie Ranran finished speaking, she stepped out of the dining chair. Gu Tingchen then raised his head, his dark eyes looking at her with a calm gaze, his sharp, abyss-like eyes fixed on Nie Ranran. Nie Ranran obediently nodded slightly. He moved his thin lips slightly and said softly, "Mm. Be careful on the road, Ranran."

Nie Ranran smiled sweetly. She had to leave quickly. She felt an awkward feeling with Gu Tingchen right now and needed to escape. She felt nervous even breathing. Nie Ranran turned around without looking at him. Then, she pulled over a chair and took off her handbag, hanging it on her wrist.

Nie Ranran sped to the Nan Group. She opened the car door, got out, picked up her handbag, closed the door, and turned around. She saw Leng Senjun standing at the company entrance. Her clear eyes widened in surprise. She raised her hand. It was only a little past 8:20 in the morning. He was here so quickly...

Leng Senjun, dressed in a blue and white suit, stood at the entrance of the Nan Group company, carrying a breakfast bag in his right hand. His tie was pure black, and his slender eyes looked to the side opposite, where an ice cream pink Maserati was parked, with Nie Ranran standing in front of the car door.

Leng Senjun's narrow, clear eyes instantly brightened. He raised his hand to greet Nie Ranran. Nie Ranran took a step forward, and Leng Senjun immediately raised his hand to straighten his tie, checking if it was tied crooked, and then looked up.

Nie Ranran walked towards him, and Leng Senjun immediately stood up straight. She walked up the steps and stood in front of Leng Senjun. Her clear eyes looked at Leng Senjun calmly, and his narrow eyes slowly smiled into a thin line. He smiled and said, "It's so early, Director Nie. You've come so early!"

Nie Ranran looked at him calmly with her clear eyes. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she softly hummed in agreement. Leng Senjun's smile froze slightly. He raised the breakfast bag in his right hand, his bright, clear eyes looking at Nie Ranran. He smiled gently and said, "I didn't have time to make breakfast at my apartment. I bought some at a breakfast shop in the subway station on my way here. I have a few flavors of scallion pancakes. Would you like some?"

Nie Ranran's clear eyes widened slightly. Her bright, clear eyes were like transparent glass mirrors. Her cherry-red lips were half-open. She nodded, and her cold, slender eyes smiled even more. His sword-like eyebrows also rose. He lowered his head, placed the breakfast bag in his palm, and opened the breakfast bag.

The thin, wheat-colored paper bag contained five different flavors of scallion pancakes, all triangular in shape and slightly steaming. Leng Senjun looked up at Nie Ranran and chuckled, "One is wheat flavor, one is oat flavor, one is yogurt flavor, the last one is corn and cheese flavor, and there's also a multigrain flavor. Director Nie, which flavor would you like?"

Nie Ranran blinked her clear eyes slightly, her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttering gently. Leng Senjun looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and only upon closer inspection did he realize that her lips were cherry-colored and her eyelashes were very long, curled, and thick. His heart skipped a beat.

After a moment of silence, Nie Ranran pursed her cherry-red lips, blinked her clear, watery eyes, pointed her milky-white finger at the breakfast bag, and said softly: "I want the corn and cheese flavor."

Leng Senjun exclaimed with delight, "Hey!" He carefully handed the corn and cheese scallion pancake from the breakfast bag to Nie Ranran. Nie Ranran held the triangular edge of the scallion pancake, raised her head, and slowly put the scallion pancake into her mouth.

The pancake was bursting with flavor from corn, cheese, and scallion oil. It was slightly hot, and each bite was juicy. Nie Ranran lowered her head and looked directly at Leng Senjun. She chewed on the scallion pancake, swallowing it whole and squinting as she said, "Hmm, I must say, it's really quite delicious. It's a mix of corn, cheese, and scallion oil flavors."

Leng Senjun's narrow eyes twitched again. He grinned and said, "I often buy scallion pancakes from this place. The owner is very good at researching different flavors. The breakfast shop opens at seven o'clock and is located inside the subway station. Do you want any other breakfast options?"

As Leng Senjun spoke, he lowered his head and took out a barley cake, a corn pancake, and a cup of red bean and taro bubble tea from the breakfast bag. Nie Ranran slowly swallowed the scallion pancake in her mouth. Her eyes widened, and she kept waving her hands and shaking her head, saying, "No, no, no, it's not necessary. I was just trying the scallion pancake you mentioned. You haven't even had breakfast yet. If you give it all to me, then you won't have anything to eat..."

Leng Senjun's clear black and white eyes widened in surprise. He stared blankly for a moment, his pupils dilating in astonishment. Nie Ranran's sweet "Ai Le" brought Leng Senjun back to his senses. He stared intently at Nie Ranran, his gaze filled with a soft light.

Leng Senjun felt a warmth in his heart. She had even remembered that he hadn't had breakfast yet. He smiled gently and said, "Do you really think so?" "Director Nie, I haven't eaten yet. Well then, if you like this kind of scallion pancake, I can buy you a bag from that breakfast shop tomorrow, Director Nie."

Nie Ranran was stunned. She opened her eyes wide and smiled helplessly, saying, "No need, Leng Senjun. I was just this morning... It's nothing. Anyway, you don't need to buy it. I don't really like scallion pancakes."

Nie Ranran's expression changed, and her eyes darkened slightly. Leng Senjun noticed this and quickly smiled and said, "Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. I, I'll go in first. I've had breakfast and I'm working, Director Nie."

As Leng Senjun spoke, he turned his head and pointed towards the company entrance. Nie Ranran nodded, and he nodded back. He turned to the side, and Leng Senjun strode into the company lobby. Nie Ranran rolled her eyes. She had already said all that, and he still wanted to buy her scallion pancakes. She was speechless.

Finally, Nie Ranran arrived at her office. Just as she was about to put down her head and work on the folder, her phone on the table rang. She looked down, glanced at the phone next to the keyboard, reached out and picked it up, then swiped to unlock the screen.

The caller was Gu Tingchen. Her clear eyes widened nervously, and she held the phone as if it were a hot potato. Her face slowly flushed, and her breath caught in her throat. Nie Ranran exhaled and said in her sweet voice, "Um, Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Tingchen sat on the sofa in the conference room. He glanced at his watch, then looked up at the conference room with cold, dark eyes. The employees who had entered bowed when they saw President Gu.

Then he walked to the table in the conference room, pulled out a chair and sat down. Gu Tingchen withdrew his gaze, glanced at the window of the conference room with his dark eyes, and said in a low voice: "I may have an invitation to dinner at the Jinyangwan Hotel tonight. I will be back a little later. You don't need to wait for me for dinner, Ranran."

Nie Ranran's clear eyes widened in shock. Jinyang Bay Hotel—wasn't that a hotel under the Nan Group? She frowned slightly. Was he telling the truth or not? Gu Tingchen's deep voice came again, and Nie Ranran kept making "ah oh oh oh" sounds.

She smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I understand, Brother Chen. Then please drink less, I have to work now, Brother Chen. Okay, I know, I'll eat lunch. Good." Nie Ranran put down her phone on the desk, lowered her head, and opened the folder.

While typing, Nie Ranran suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. Her typing speed slowed down. Her eyes were on the computer screen, but her thoughts were wandering. Her fingers touched the keyboard, and Nie Ranran sighed. Gu Tingchen has already started to influence you.

At noon, Nie Ranran was eating her boxed lunch in the company cafeteria—broccoli and beef rolls with an omelet. She picked up a purple sweet potato-flavored hot milkshake, eating absentmindedly. There was a knock at the door. Nie Ranran turned her head and saw Bai Xun standing at the door. Nie Ranran sat up straight and cleared her throat: "Come in, Assistant Bai."

When Nie Ranran returned to the Gu family villa that evening, she found only the butler, Mu, and a few servants inside. She didn't see Gu Tingchen, and her eyes slowly dimmed. She picked up her handbag and walked to the sofa, placing it there.

At 6:53 PM, Butler Mu came out of the kitchen and walked into the living room. He saw that Miss had returned and felt a little disappointed. Standing at the top of the stairs, Butler Mu walked over, and Nie Ranran immediately recognized him. She turned around, and Butler Mu bowed and said, "You're back, Miss. The young master called at noon and said he would be back later tonight."

Nie Ranran's clear eyes darkened slightly. She nodded and said, "Yes, Butler Mu." Nie Ranran followed Butler Mu to the dining room. The table was set with fragrant dishes. She stepped forward and saw cheese shrimp, salted duck, beef slices with tomatoes and scallions, sweet and sour fish slices, and a bowl of Cordyceps flower and small-batch chicken soup.

There were only three dishes. Nie Ranran didn't say anything, pulled out a chair and sat down, eating dinner alone again. She always felt that Gu Tingchen was avoiding her, and it wasn't the first or second time. She smiled bitterly, thinking that she could eat by herself and have some peace and quiet.

Jinyangwan Hotel -

Gu Tingchen, dressed in a dark gray suit, sat in a high-end private room. His indifferent dark eyes looked at the business partner sitting next to him on the sofa. She was a woman in her twenties, wearing a bright red dress and burgundy stilettos. She had an extremely pure and innocent look. Her makeup was quite glamorous, but she still retained the innocence of a young woman in her twenties.
