Chapter 16: Just Friends
Anyway, for Lynn Mo’s appreciation of Sansa Ran, Dean Lan felt that Sansa Ran deserved it. After all, she was his woman, so naturally she had to be different from the women she saw in the world.
Dean Lan complimented Sansa Ran, but had to restrain himself a bit because Sansa Ran was right next to him.
Like a teenager, sincere and innocent to his beloved girl, Lynn Mo thought.
There are always people in this world that make your eyes shine when you mention them, and in your eyes, he is the most special being, no one.
When Sansa Ran was mentioned, Dean Lan’s words increased, and Lynn Mo listened to him on the other end of the phone and was happy for Dean Lan – he had finally met someone he liked after being single for so many years.
“You know what, Lynn Mo?” Dean Lan curled his mouth, “Jeffrey is my child!”
Lynn Mo couldn’t have imagined that the always cold Dean Lan said this in a warm tone and with an intonation auxiliary. What was even more surprising to him was that Jeffrey was actually Dean Lan’s son.
“That’s nice.” He chuckled, not knowing what to say, half-heartedly holding back only two words, after all, the news was really unexpected to everyone.
Jeffrey, who was amusing himself to the side, heard Dean Lan mention his name and looked up and smiled at Dean Lan, both innocent and beautiful.
Sansa Ran, who had been sitting in the car looking out the window, was a little surprised when she heard Dean Lan call out Lynn Mo’s name. Her eyelashes fluttered twice, and after her eyes lingered on Dean Lan’s body for two seconds, she turned her head back to look all the way out the window.
The scenery outside the window is receding rapidly, some of them are already missed before we can even see them, just like our life journey, experiencing many scenes while constantly missing them.
For example, she and Dean Lan.
Sansa Ran touched Jeffrey’s head, she always felt that Jeffrey’s cheerfulness was faked, so that she wouldn’t have to worry about it, so she always looked happy. Justin, on the other hand, wouldn’t be so introverted if it weren’t for the absence of his father in his life.
“In that case, be good to them.” Lynn Mo said again.
“Will do.” Dean Lan replied.
“I have things to do here, I’ll hang up now, we’ll talk later.” Lynn Mo’s voice came to speak, faintly, as if something was going on, and she said to Dean Lan after listening. Without waiting for Dean Lan to nod, Lynn Mo hung up the phone herself.
Dean Lan looked at the hung up phone and thought, “This woman has become bold, she actually dares to hang up his phone.
Sansa Ran received Dean Lan’s look in her eyes and felt disdainful, “Is he the only one who hangs up on others? He was the only one who hung up on others.
“Dean Lan,” Sansa Ran looked at Dean Lan, his beautiful eyes were calm and unruffled, “You and Lynn Mo have known each other for a long time, right?”
The questionable sentence and the definite tone made Dean Lan a little confused, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.
“I heard you when you called earlier.” Sansa Ran lowered her head and rubbed her hands on the corner of her coat like a shy seventeen-year-old girl. “From the tone of your conversation with him, I can tell that you’ve known each other for more than a day or two, and that you should be on good terms, right?”
Even the reason why he was so sure was stated, and Dean Lan had to admit it, and he nodded. Opening his mouth not knowing what to say, he closed it again.
Like is too strange, let us become mute in front of the person we like, not good at words. It makes us dumb and overwhelmed in front of the one we like.
“Dean Lan, I’m not the same fool I was a long time ago.” Sansa Ran said.
“Yes, Lynn Mo and I have known each other for a long time.” Dean Lan thought that since Sansa Ran’s heart was so clear, he simply admitted it: “I have known Lynn Mo for many years, not just a day or two. And we do have a good relationship as you think. She is one of the few close friends I can make friends with.”
Sansa Ran looked up and met Dean Lan’s serious eyes, and her heart skipped a beat before she looked away again, pretending not to care.
She then looked away again, pretending to be indifferent. Seeing this, Dean Lan was a bit helpless, as Sansa Ran really could not be convinced in any way now.
“So,” Sansa Ran didn’t look at Dean Lan, her voice was a bit cold, “you used your connections to get Lynn Mo to interfere with my affairs.”
“Right.” Dean Lan nodded his head without hesitation.
Sansa Ran’s already unpleasant face turned even more gloomy at Dean Lan’s unapologetic attitude. She couldn’t tell what she felt in her heart, as if someone had raised her to the top of the mountain and then pushed her from the top to the bottomless abyss.
She was a little frightened.
“Mom.” Jeffrey, keenly aware of Sansa Ran’s mood, immediately put down the toys in his hands and crawled into Sansa Ran’s arms, tilting his innocent little face and asking, “Are you upset? Tell me who messed with you, and Justin and I will beat him up.”
The child clenched his tiny fist, not at all murderous, but a little cute. It made both Dean Lan and Sansa Ran laugh.
“Isn’t that you?” Jeffrey suddenly pointed at Dean Lan’s nose and said. For Dean Lan and Sansa Ran’s conversation, Jeffrey could not understand it now, he just heard them have mentioned Auntie Lynn Mo, he just saw his mom’s face was not very good, he just hoped his mom should be happy all the time.
“No.” Sansa Ran told Jeffrey to put his hands down and said in a gentle voice, “You play by yourself first, mommy has something to say.”
Jeffrey nodded obediently and crawled to the side to entertain himself again.
Dean Lan touched his nose, he never had anyone pointing at his nose in his life, today he was actually questioned by his son pointing at his nose.
“Why do you have to interfere in my affairs?” Sansa Ran looked at Dean Lan, because of the consideration of Jeffrey aside she lowered her voice, but sounded a bit of gnashing of teeth.
“Because… because…” Dean Lan didn’t come up with a reason even after a long time. He tried to muddle through, but Sansa Ran didn’t look like she was going to let him go.
A muffled sound exploded in the distance, and Jeffrey shouted happily, “Mom, look, there are fireworks.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Dean Lan and Sansa Ran withdrew their eyes, and the other became the scenery under each other’s eyes in this moment.
The two of them became each other’s eyes in this moment. Nevertheless, Sansa Ran still did not let go of Dean Lan’s intention.
