Quick Transmigration: After Becoming the Male Lead’s White Moonlight, I Realized
Chapter 326: Lovestruck Mermaid vs. Cruel Experimenter (22)
In a high-end restaurant, luxurious crystal chandeliers cast soft light, but the atmosphere is so eerie that it makes people feel uneasy.
The three of them sat around a table, silence like an invisible net covering them.
Fang Haoyu was caught in the middle, feeling like he had a thorn in his back and was in a dilemma.
On one side is Jiang Wan, the girl who is interested in him, and on the other side is Ye Youran, the beauty who makes his heart beat fast.
His eyes wandered, sometimes looking at Jiang Wan, sometimes looking at Ye Youran, and his hands unconsciously twisted the corners of his clothes under the table.
Ye Youran was the first to break the silence. She looked up at Jiang Wan across from her, a seemingly friendly smile plastered on her face, but it concealed a deeper meaning. "Miss Jiang, it's a coincidence that we meet today. Why don't we have a meal together?"
She was certain that Jiang Wan could not produce any evidence. After all, those key surveillance videos were in Fang Haoyu's hands. She firmly believed that Fang Haoyu would not tell Jiang Wan a single word.
But the mermaid had disappeared recently. She had been searching for her for a long time but still had no clue where she was, and she couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
Is the mermaid hiding in the vast sea of people, or has she been discovered and captured?
She knew nothing about it and couldn't help but regret it. She should have sent someone to keep a close eye on the mermaid.
If he doesn't come back to find me, then all the efforts I've made before will be wasted?
However, she comforted herself again.
There was also a woman over there. It was said that after she saved the mermaid, her life changed dramatically within a year and she even got married suddenly.
She had seen that man when she was a child. He was very handsome, but there were many different opinions about his identity.
Some people rumored that he was a rich second-generation, while others speculated that he was the mermaid that the woman had saved because the man had a scar on his neck.
But in the end, no one could be sure what was going on, but Ye Youran knew that the man's face was very similar to a mermaid.
Thinking of this, an inexplicable obsession surged in her heart, but she also wanted to snatch the person Jiang Wan liked away from her.
So, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and asked again: "What do you think, Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Wan raised her head and responded gracefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Ye, to pay for this meal."
After saying that, she picked up the menu without hesitation and ordered the expensive items, thinking that she couldn't miss this good opportunity to kill Ye Youran.
Ye Youran's face froze instantly. When did she say she wanted to treat Jiang Wan to dinner?
Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, Jiang Wan seemed to see through her thoughts and covered her mouth in surprise: "Oh, I forgot this is at Yupin. Did I say something wrong? Otherwise, put it on my account tonight."
As she spoke, she secretly observed Ye Youran's expression, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a barely perceptible smile.
She knew that the price of the imperial meals was ridiculously high, so she wanted to see if Ye Youran could continue to pretend.
Ye Youran gritted her teeth. Although her heart ached, she still said, "Miss Jiang, it's just a meal. I can afford it."
She didn't want to show weakness in front of Jiang Wan.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan's smile widened. She looked at Ye Youran and said, "I'd like to order another dessert. Miss Ye, do you mind?"
Ye Youran forced a stiff smile and said, "Of course I don't mind."
Damn Jiang Wan, this meal would probably cost her half a month's salary.
She originally just wanted to have a meal with Fang Haoyu, but unexpectedly she was tricked by Jiang Wan. But how could she admit defeat so easily?
So she looked to Fang Haoyu for help.
Seeing this, Fang Haoyu coughed awkwardly twice and quickly spoke to smooth things over:
"Jiang Wan, you're a regular here, how can you let Youran treat you? Besides, Youran is usually so frugal, wouldn't it be better if this meal was just charged to your account?"
He was so focused on helping Ye Youran that he didn't realize he had said the wrong thing.
Jiang Wan almost couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that Fang Haoyu was such a bad teammate. Everyone knew that Ye Youran hated others mentioning her family background the most.
She turned to look at Ye Youran, and sure enough, Ye Youran's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Afraid that Fang Haoyu would say something more offensive, he quickly said, "It's nothing. I also come here to eat occasionally."
Seeing this, Jiang Wan added, "Oh, then I'll add another dish."
Fang Haoyu originally wanted to say a few more good words for Ye Youran, but when he saw her ugly face, he finally became a little considerate and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Jiang Wan tried hard to suppress her smile, and she suspected that if Fang Haoyu continued talking, Ye Youran would not even be able to maintain her superficial smile.
Jiang Wan enjoyed the meal with great gusto, and would occasionally comment on the deliciousness of the food.
Fang Haoyu seemed to realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he didn't think too much about it.
He only knew that Ye Youran was angry, and it seemed that she was angry at him.
So during this meal, he was completely focused on wondering why Ye Youran was angry, and he ate absent-mindedly.
It was finally time to pay the bill. Ye Youran looked at the five-digit amount on the bill and felt dizzy and almost blacked out.
Although she could barely afford the money, it was really painful.
She couldn't help but look at Fang Haoyu, thinking that he was richer than her and might be able to help share some of the burden.
But Fang Haoyu's eyes were elsewhere and he didn't see her expression at all.
Ye Youran gritted her teeth and paid the bill with a heavy heart, her face as dark as the sky before a storm.
Jiang Wan, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She smiled at Ye Youran and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today, Miss Ye. Please continue to treat us next time we see you."
Ye Youran took a deep breath and tried to force out two dry laughs.
Jiang Wan is so shameless that she even dares to make such a request.
She suppressed the anger in her heart, turned around and left, vowing that she never wanted to see Jiang Wan again.
As soon as Fang Haoyu went out, he subconsciously chased after Ye Youran.
"Ahem." Jiang Wan spoke out to stop him.
Fang Haoyu was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Wan to have not left yet. He asked in confusion, "You haven't left yet?"
Jiang Wan snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Why else would I see you like this?"
Fang Haoyu frowned guiltily and said with forced composure:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Youran is my team member. She was in a bad mood just now. As the team leader, of course I have to care about her."
After a pause, he added, "So stop being jealous."
He felt that he had already promised Jiang Wan that he would think carefully about their relationship, so she shouldn't be so unreasonable anymore.
Jiang Wan was obviously dissatisfied with this answer: "I don't care, you are not allowed to go to her."
Fang Haoyu watched Ye Youran's disappearing figure in front of him. He looked at Jiang Wan impatiently and shook his head, "You have this little bit of a spoiled brat temper. Don't you have any tolerance at all? If anything happens to Youran, will you be able to take responsibility?"
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Wan's attempts to stop him and hurriedly chased in the direction Ye Youran left.
Jiang Wan stomped her feet in anger, feeling both angry and annoyed.
Chen Wu at home waited until very late today as usual.
