Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2096 - 2085: Family Banquet Invitation

"Even if that's the case."At the end, Lan Kexin shook her head. "I still won't be with him. I don't want to ruin his family. Unless…"

"Unless what?"

Lan Kexin said shyly, "Unless his wife doesn't want him anymore."

"You're hopeless."

Xu Ruolan secretly pouted, then asked, "What if the reason his wife wants a divorce is because of you?"

"Then I would go to their home and apologize, and ask for his wife's forgiveness."

"And if she doesn't accept it?"

"Then I'll beg her, until she forgives me."

Xu Ruolan shook her head. "Your way of thinking honestly leaves me speechless, it's just too stupid."

"It's fine, as long as he's happy."

Looking at Lan Kexin's sincere smile, Xu Ruolan really didn't know what to say. Just as she was about to find someone to discuss it with, she realized Su Meiniang was already crying her eyes out.

"What a headache. I knew that guy's ability to cause trouble was impressive. Even without flirting around he can still have people wrapped around his finger. And if he really does get involved, it's always with someone this devoted."

Xu Ruolan rubbed her temples; at this point she truly had a bit of a headache.

If Lan Kexin were some vanity-obsessed girl, things would actually be easier—at worst it's just a matter of money. But the key point is, she isn't.

Of course. If Lan Kexin were that kind of person, Ning Fan wouldn't have gotten entangled with her.

"Should I be complimenting my own taste right now?"

Thinking of this all of a sudden, Xu Ruolan couldn't help feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Manager Lan, are you free tonight?"

Lan Kexin was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I'm free."

Xu Ruolan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Come to my place for a simple dinner."

"President Xu, that doesn't seem very appropriate."

"What's inappropriate about it? Aren't we friends? It's settled then."

"Thank you, President Xu. Then I'll be imposing on you tonight."

Not very good at refusing others, Lan Kexin had no choice but to accept the invitation.

"President Xu, I'll take my leave then."

"Mm. We'll talk about the resignation later, you go back to work first. I'll come pick you up after work."

Watching Lan Kexin's departing figure, Xu Ruolan let out a soft sigh and said to herself, "Who told me to be just like you, hopelessly in love with him."

Now that things had come to this, Xu Ruolan had decided to give up, and she no longer planned to be the villain who breaks up a couple.

Just like how Lan Kexin chose to leave of her own accord so Ning Fan wouldn't be put in a difficult spot.

How was Xu Ruolan any different? If Lan Kexin had to leave because of her, it would only plunge Ning Fan into pain, and that was something she couldn't bear to see.

"Silly girl, stop crying already."

Wiping her tears, Su Meiniang choked, "Sister, I'm just too moved."

In Lan Kexin, she seemed to see her own shadow.

Rushing all the way to Zhonghai—wasn't it exactly to stay by that man's side, willing to pay any price for it.

"You're sure that Spell has no problem?"

"No problem at all, I can guarantee Miss Lan's words were absolutely from the bottom of her heart."

Although she was confident her judgment of people wasn't wrong, to be safe, Xu Ruolan still went along with Su Meiniang's suggestion.

"Like a Dream, Like an Illusion," a small Heartbewitching Technique, can unconsciously make people spill the truth.

Precisely because of this, Lan Kexin had spoken her mind without holding anything back.

Only then did Xu Ruolan make up her mind—if the girl was truly a good one, she didn't mind.

"Xiao Qing, we just finished talking. She'll be coming over to eat at our place tonight, don't you dare make a scene."

Thanks to the perfect impression Lan Kexin had left, Xu Ruolan made a special call to remind her.

"He's really getting off cheap. I've seen that Miss Lan before, she's indeed a very gentle person."

"Or else how could things end up like this."

"Sis, do you think if brother-in-law finds out we're doing all this behind his back, he'll get mad?"

"He wouldn't dare!"

Xu Ruolan's willow brows arched upward. "I'd say he'll be too happy to even know what to do with himself."

"What if Lan Kexin can't accept it?"

"Then that has nothing to do with us."

After hanging up, Xu Ruolan muttered to herself, "Hubby, I've given you your chance, everything now depends on you."

For this day, it's not like Xu Ruolan hadn't seen it coming. She knew she'd never get away from Ning Fan in this life. Rather than sinking deeper into pain, she might as well accept it openly.

Otherwise she wouldn't have tacitly allowed Xiao Qing's ridiculous numbering system.

"Silly girl, hurry up and work. We're going home early tonight."

"As you command, Sister."

Looking at the obedient, well-behaved expression on Su Meiniang's face, Xu Ruolan couldn't help but feel amused, and felt that maybe it wasn't so bad this way.

"Father, is this what you call the wisdom of someone who's been through it all?"

Lying on the lawn doing Photosynthesis, Ning Fan had no idea that, back at the company, a melodramatic drama long enough for at least twenty episodes was unfolding.

He had even less idea that come evening, this show was about to get at least ten more episodes piled on.

"Hubby, make the dishes a bit more lavish tonight, we've got an honored guest coming over."

"What honored guest?"

"You'll find out when the time comes. I promise you'll be shocked."

"Now I really want to see who it is."

Ning Fan curled his lip. He'd been through all kinds of battles; what grand scene hadn't he seen?

Even if an Immortal came, he wouldn't flinch, let alone Mortals. No matter how high their status, could they be higher than an Immortal God?

Since his wife had given the order, Ning Fan naturally had to bring out all eighteen of his Martial Skills.

Pretty much the entire afternoon, Ning Fan was holed up in the kitchen, busy non-stop.

Looking at the table full of fragrant dishes, Ning Fan frowned. "Look at the time, why aren't they home yet?"

The sky was almost dark. Not only were Xiao Qing and Xiao Four still not back, even Nannan, who was at school, hadn't come home.

He made a call and only then learned that Nannan was staying over at the old man's place tonight.

"Wifey, why aren't you home yet? The dishes are almost cold."

"I'll be there soon."

After hanging up, Xu Ruolan smiled at Lan Kexin. "That was my husband just now."

"President Xu, I'm really troubling you and your husband too much."

Lan Kexin was both flattered and uneasy. She really hadn't expected that President Xu's husband would be the one cooking tonight, and even more unexpectedly, that President Xu was secretly already married.

"It's no trouble. My husband's cooking is pretty good, you'll definitely like it."

Xu Ruolan's words carried a double meaning. She even felt a kind of gleeful, wicked anticipation inside, almost impatient to see what would happen next.

"It's my honor."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lan Kexin turned her gaze to Su Meiniang. She hadn't expected this newly arrived Secretary Su to be this trusted.

"Sister, is this spot okay?"

Hearing Su Meiniang call her "Sister," Lan Kexin's eyes flickered, as if she understood the reason behind Su Meiniang parachuting into the job.

"Miss Lan, you'll find out in a bit."

Xu Ruolan's out-of-the-blue remark left Lan Kexin stunned. She had no idea what it was she was supposed to be understanding.

Only now did Lan Kexin notice that the car was actually parked by the roadside.

Just as she was wondering, a red sedan drove over and stopped behind President Xu's car.

"Sister, we're here."

As the words fell, two young and beautiful girls stepped out of the red sedan.
