Chapter 155 Already Sold Out

Shangguan Ranran blushed and defended herself, "I didn't..."

Huangfu Shenqing was filled with joy inside. This was the first time the young lady had ever felt jealous for him. He turned her face toward him so their foreheads rested against each other, his warm breath mingling between them. "There is only Ranran in my heart, and no one else could ever fit inside."

"So Ranran doesn't need to be jealous. I love no one except Ranran."

Even after returning home, Shangguan Ranran would still recall those heart-fluttering words that made her ears burn. That sweetness, like smeared honey, rippled at the tip of her heart, impossible to wash away or erase.

The next day, she went to the department she had been away from for a long time.

"Director."
"Good morning, Director."
"Good morning, Director."
……

Hu Jun and Molina walked in carrying recent documents.

"Director, this is the work report from November to December 15th. This is the recent schedule and planning. This is the latest cooperation project. This is the new product launch proposal for November and December. This is the two-month sales summary. This is each person's sales volume. This is the department's total sales. This is the past few months'..."

Looking at the desk full of files and documents, Shangguan Ranran was stunned for a moment. Were there really this many?

She propped her head up with her hand, feeling somewhat troubled. The coming days would probably...

"Is there any recent cooperation regarding Country M?"

Hearing the young miss ask this, Yexin behind her couldn't help but perk up her ears.

Hu Jun thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, it's related to the men's clothing and pocket watch series designed for the upcoming launch of the Qingran Studio by the KN Group."

"Then hand over this contract negotiation to me."

Yexin couldn't help but speak up, her face full of worry. "Young Miss? What are you planning to do? Could it be..."

She paused and didn't continue.

"Director?"

Shangguan Ranran shook her head. "It's fine. Hand the negotiation over to me."

Hu Jun: "Understood. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Molina: "Then I'll head out first. Just call me if you need anything, Director."

"Mhm."

Yexin: "Is the Young Miss planning to go to Country M after all? How can you do that? It's so dangerous! Isn't..."

"Yexin, you know that I always have to pay it back."

"But Young Miss, if anything happens to you again, I really..."

She might as well just resign in disgrace. Every single time, the Young Miss ended up getting hurt. She truly... truly failed to live up to Ye Zuo's expectations, and she was also afraid...

"Yexin, I won't let myself get hurt this time."

Over the next five days, Shangguan Ranran finished processing the accumulated affairs of the department and casually browsed through the studio's upcoming brand line.

By the time everything was finally wrapped up, her phone had almost been blown up by the man with countless calls and messages.

If Huangfu Shenqing hadn't checked her real-time location and seen that she was constantly staying within the Shangguan Corporation, he would have thought the young lady had gone missing. For five whole days, there was no trace of her and not a single message.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shangguan Ranran took Yexin and rushed over to the Lianran Corporation. However, before going there, she made a stop at a dessert shop first.

"What would the Young Miss like?"

"I'd like Mousse cake, Black Forest cake, syrup sponge pudding, praline cake, Portuguese egg tarts, Opera cake, Sabayon, and Sachertorte—ten portions of each. Also, give me ten portions each of cappuccino, latte, mocha, and Blue Mountain coffee, plus three cups of pearl milk tea. You don't need to pack the milk tea to go. Thank you for the trouble."

Shangguan Ranran spoke so quickly that even the clerk couldn't keep up with taking notes, as if she had a whole menu of various desserts memorized in her mind.

The clerk beamed with a happy smile. "Alright, Young Miss. Please wait a moment."

Altogether, it came to over 120 packaged items plus three cups of milk tea. Because of the large quantity, more than ten clerks divided the labor to prepare and pack everything.

Shangguan Ranran and Yexin found a quiet corner to sit down. The clerk first brought over the three cups of milk tea that didn't need to be boxed up.

She handed one cup to Yexin, while holding two cups herself to drink. Her expression was so happy and carefree that she was practically on the verge of humming a tune.

At the entrance of the dessert shop, an extremely luxurious dark blue Maserati came to a halt.

Huangfu Qing'an walked around to the passenger side like a gentleman and opened the door.

Tina's proud and curvaceous figure came into view, making Huangfu Qing'an stare fixedly.

"Didn't you invite me to a high-end restaurant? What kind of good food could there be in a place like this?"

Tina gave a proud smile. "I think the desserts at this place are quite good. What? Is the Second Young Master Huangfu regretting it already?"

"How could that be? When have I ever regretted anything said by a beauty?"

As they spoke, they had already entered the dessert shop. Huangfu Qing'an generously said to the clerk, "I'll take all the desserts here."

Tina: "Would this be too much? How can I..."

"What's the big deal? I could even buy this shop and gift it to a beauty."

Tina offered a sexy smile, and even her colored-contact-lensed eyes seemed like a fox, seducing one and making the heart itch.

Only then did the clerk manage to chime in, "I'm so sorry, sir, miss. Our desserts for today are already sold out. Would you mind waiting another two hours? I can have the pastry chef make a fresh batch."

Tina's smile froze, and she asked in disbelief, "Sold out? All the desserts are sold out?"

The clerk smiled apologetically. "Yes, that young lady over there bought more than 120 desserts and coffees. Originally, there were still raspberry cakes, Sachertorte, soufflés, and some egg tarts left, but later customers bought them all up. I am truly very sorry."

Following the clerk's gaze, Tina and Huangfu Qing'an looked over and saw the young lady holding two cups of milk tea, drinking with her eyes squinted in joyful contentment.

Unable to maintain her usual elegant and poised facade outside any longer, she walked toward the corner looking rather angry. Huangfu Qing'an followed closely behind.

"Miss Shangguan, we meet again. This really is quite a surprise!"

Hearing Tina's sarcastic remark, Shangguan Ranran raised her head, her gaze filled with mockery.

"It's also quite a surprise to me that Miss Tina learned my name so quickly!"

Shangguan Ranran made no effort to hide her dislike for Tina, especially those eyes with the same eye color as her own, which always looked down on others with a sense of self-proclaimed superiority.

Tina detested Shangguan Ranran just as much. Aside from the unpleasantness of their previous meeting, she loathed Shangguan Ranran's clear, water-like blue eyes even more because they were so pure and genuine, whereas she herself could only rely on colored contact lenses to enhance her beauty.

"Shangguan Ranran? To think it's you, you stinky woman!"

If it hadn't been for this girl ruining her good plan, that little bastard might have already died in that association!

Shangguan Ranran stood up, her blue eyes shimmering with coldness. Although she couldn't match the height of the two people standing before her, her aura completely crushed them.

"Huangfu Qing'an, if you dare talk nonsense again, see if I don't beat you up once more!"

Huangfu Qing'an's face instantly turned ashen, clearly recalling the beating he took at the bar last time. Who would have thought that this stinky woman actually knew martial arts?
