Midnight Cinderella

Chapter 28

In front of Starlight Department Store, Jiang Ran sent He Zhiyuan a message and asked him where he was.

He Zhiyuan: I'm standing at the entrance. You'll see me when you come over.

Jiang Ran: Okay.

She walked through Starlight Plaza and saw He Zhiyuan standing there like a pole.

To be honest, He Zhiyuan was a good person. He had a stable job and a good personality. He was also good-looking. However, she didn't have feelings for him.

Jiang Ran used to think that she didn't want to be in a relationship, so she wasn't attracted to anyone. However, after meeting Mr. Feng, she realized that wasn't the case.

She still wanted to be in a relationship.

"He Zhiyuan." Jiang Ran greeted him and walked up to him.

He Zhiyuan greeted her with a smile and said, "I've already booked a table at the restaurant upstairs. Let's go up together."

"Okay."

They walked to an Italian restaurant upstairs. After sitting down, Jiang Ran couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

He Zhiyuan pursed his lips slightly and smiled at her, "Let's eat first. We can talk after eating."

Jiang Ran nodded, "Okay."

The portions of western food were small. Besides, both of them had something on their minds, so they didn't eat much.

He Zhiyuan saw that Jiang Ran had been waiting for him. He finally sighed, "Jiang Ran."

"Yes?" Jiang Ran put down the fork in her hand and straightened her back.

"I asked you out today mainly to ask you if you have a boyfriend now."

"… No." Jiang Ran clutched the tissue on the table and seemed a little nervous.

He Zhiyuan was even more nervous than her. He couldn't even breathe properly when he spoke, "Then will you consider me?"

Although Jiang Ran was already mentally prepared, she was still a little shocked at this moment.

She clenched her fists a little more and said, "I'm sorry. I don't have that kind of feeling for you."

Hearing Jiang Ran's rejection, He Zhiyuan's heart suddenly sank.

He knew that the success rate of confessing to Jiang Ran at this time was not high. However, because of Mr. Feng's appearance, he still chose to take a gamble.

In the end, he lost the gamble.

Jiang Ran saw his expression and apologized to him again, "I'm really sorry."

He Zhiyuan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at her, "You don't need to apologize. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing.

Jiang slightly lowered her head slightly and didn't say anything.. but they could still be friends.

"Do you want to eat anything else?" He Zhiyuan suddenly.

Jiang Ran shook shook her head, "No, thank you..

"Then I'll send you home."

Don't worry.......

. of course.

. "He Zhiyuan called the waiter to pay the bill. After leaving the restaurant, He Zhiyuan took the elevator to the underground parking lot to pick up his car. Jiang Ran directly walked out of the elevator on the first floor. They didn't speak along the way.

After walking out of Xingguang Department Store, Jiang Ran took a deep breath.

In fact, it was not very good to reject someone.

She went directly to the subway station and took the subway home. Er Huang had been waiting for her by the door. When he heard the sound of her opening the door, he barked.

"Er Huang."

Jiang Ran rubbed Er Huang's head. Pets needed their owners' company, not to mention that Er Huang was injured now.

Jiang Ran was very glad that she could stay at home all the time because of her work. She could spend more time with Er Huang.

"You have to go to the hospital tomorrow to change your bandages. Are you feeling better?"

"Woof, woof."

Jiang Ran smiled and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for herself.

She really wasn't full just now.

Er Huang smelled the fragrance of the noodles and went to the dining table to act like a spoiled child to Jiang Ran. Normally, Jiang Ran would be soft-hearted and feed Er Huang some food. But now that Er Huang was injured, she didn't dare to feed him anything.

Er Huang acted cute for a long time, but still didn't get any food. He lay on the ground listlessly and looked at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran thought that Er Huang looked a little funny, so she took a picture of Er Huang's appearance with her phone.

This time, she didn't send it to her WeChat Moments. Instead, she sent it directly to Yan Huanhuan.

Jiang Ran: [Picture]

Yan Huanhuan: [Smile]

Jiang Ran: He Zhiyuan confessed to me today.

Yan Huanhuan:!!!!

Yan Huanhuan: [So you sent this picture to laugh at single people???]

Jiang Ran: I refused [Lifeless eyes.jpg]

Yan Huanhuan: [Pick nose] So why is He Zhiyuan so impatient? I thought he would hold on for a while longer.]

Jiang Ran: [Lifeless eyes.jpg]

Yan Huanhuan: [What are you going to do next?

Will it be awkward?]

Jiang Ran: [Yes. We probably won't see each other again.]

Yan Huanhuan: [Forget it. Don't think about it. Time heals everything!

Pupkin's concert is next Friday. I have a colleague who's going too. Do you want to come?]

Jiang Ran: [No need. Hehe. I've got someone.]

Yan Huanhuan: […]

Yan Huanhuan: [Your mood change is too fast!

Tell me the truth. Did you meet someone?!

Doesn't your conscience hurt?!]

Jiang Ran: [Guess.]

Yan Huanhuan: [I guess you don't have a conscience.]

Jiang Ran didn't want to be like this. But when she thought about going to Pupkin's concert with Mr. Feng, she couldn't help but feel happy.

When Pupkin became popular, she was still in elementary school. When she fell in love with their music, they announced that they were going to break up.

This had always been one of Jiang Ran's regrets. This revival concert was very meaningful to her.

She spent this week looking forward to it. Er Huang's wound was recovering well, which made her even happier.

However, Feng Jing didn't have such a good week.

Qin Fan came to his house every day to care about his life and communicate with him.

"Qin Dong, I'm your artist, not your prisoner." Feng Jing couldn't take it anymore and protested.

Qin Fan looked at him and said, "Actually, I don't need to watch over you like this. But you have too many criminal records. You don't trust me anymore."

"I really won't go back to Zhenshui Village. Trust me."

"I only trust myself."

Feng Jing: "…"

He looked at the time. It was already past four o 'clock. Qin Fan didn't seem to want to leave. If this went on, he might not be able to make it for the concert.

He used the bathroom as an excuse and secretly went to the bathroom with his phone.

After scrolling through his contacts, he sent a message to his good friend, Meng Xingchuan, asking for help.

Feng Jing: [Bro, help me think of a way to get Qin Fan away.]

Meng Xingchuan: [Bro, what are you up to this time?]

Feng Jing: [Nothing. I just want to go to Pupkin's concert.]

Meng Xingchuan: [Then just tell him!

He won't restrict your freedom.]

Feng Jing: [I'm afraid that he'll go with me.]

Meng Xingchuan: [Be honest. You really just want to go to the concert.]

Feng Jing: [Yes. You know that I've always liked Pupkin.]

Meng Xingchuan: [Okay then. Don't trick me.]

Feng Jing suddenly felt a little guilty.

But when he thought about it, it wasn't the first time that he had tricked Meng Xingchuan.

Not long after he came out of the bathroom, Qin Fan received a call from Meng Xingchuan's assistant. "Qin Dong!

Brother Meng suddenly had a stomachache on set.

It seems to be very serious. "

Qin Fan frowned. "What did he eat?"

"No, nothing special. Ouch. Brother Meng, why did you fall down?"

Qin Fan picked up his jacket and walked out. "I'll be right there."

Feng Jing was delighted. Meng Xingchuan was indeed reliable.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Feng Jing used his acting skills to prove that he won the Best Actor Award with his own abilities.

Qin Fan said, "Something happened to Meng Xingchuan. I have to go. You stay put."

Feng Jing said in surprise, "Something happened to Old Meng?

What happened? Is it serious? "

"I don't know yet. Let me take a look."

Qin Fan opened the door and left. Feng Jing watched his car drive away. He quickly went back to his room to change his clothes and called Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran was picking out clothes for the night when he saw Feng Jing's call. He quickly picked it up. "Mr. Feng, hello."

"Hello."

Hearing Jiang Ran's voice, Feng Jing couldn't help but smile. "I'm going to pick you up now. Do you want to eat something first?"

"I just ate some leftovers from lunch." Jiang Ran was a little excited. "Ah, I'm so excited now. I don't feel hungry at all."

Feng Jing laughed and said, "Then I'll buy some bread and water and put it in the car. You can eat it later when you're hungry."

"Okay."

"Woof, woof." Er Huang saw that Jiang Ran was going out, so he followed him out.

Jiang Ran touched his head and said to him, "I'm going to see my favorite band's concert. I'm so happy."

"Woof, woof."

"I can't take you there. You stay at home. I'll be back soon."

"Woof!"

Jiang Ran and Er Huang chatted for a while. Feng Jing's car drove downstairs.

She trotted out of the building and saw the familiar Cayenne.

"Mr. Feng, long time no see."

After saying this, Jiang Ran felt a little strange. In fact, it hadn't been long. It had only been a week.

"Long time no see."

Feng Jing smiled and took a bag of snacks from the back seat. "See if there's anything you like."

"Wow, you bought so many." Jiang Ran held the shopping bag he handed over and was a little surprised.

Feng Jing said, "I bought too many unknowingly."

Jiang Ran laughed and chose a box of biscuits to open.

Tonight's concert was held in the City Stadium. There was still an hour before the start, but the outside was already crowded with people.

Feng Jing took Jiang Ran to a lounge according to the internal VIP ticket.

When the staff led the way for them, they kept wondering if the man wearing the mask was Feng Jing.

The internal tickets were only available to people with connections. Their tickets were the best among them. It was very likely that he was an insider.

But even if they were curious, they didn't dare to ask. After all, they couldn't afford to offend people with such tickets.

The lounge had a poster for tonight's concert. Jiang Ran saw it and went over. "Oh my God, Ray is so handsome."

Ray was the lead singer of Pupkin, a rock band in the 1990s. If he didn't have long hair, he would be embarrassed to say that he was in rock and roll.

At that time, the "punk" style couldn't hide Ray's beautiful and sexy facial features. Now, after ten years of precipitation, his handsomeness had reached a new height.

Although Ray was also his idol, Feng Jing couldn't help but ask, "Who do you think is more handsome, him or Feng Jing?"

"The two of them have completely different styles. They are both handsome in their own ways."

Feng Jing's tail was raised again. Jiang Ran admired the poster for a while. The concert was about to begin.

The audience began to enter the venue, and it became noisy outside. Feng Jing and Jiang Ran also walked out of the lounge and followed the staff to their seats.

The VIP seats were separated by something on both sides, and there was even a small sofa inside.

This treatment surprised Jiang Ran. In her impression, the concert was about standing up and having fun.

Not far from their seats, there were a few girls chatting away. One of the girls inadvertently saw Feng Jing's side profile and took a picture with the camera in her hand.

"Waiting for the start of # Pupkin's revival concert #, it seems that we met Feng Jing????"
