Chapter 71: A chance encounter
Dean Lan walked out of the bar and walked slightly depressed to his car.
The breeze was cool, and the lights at night were hazy, like bubbles lit by candles, constantly changing colors but not becoming bright and not disappearing.
The cars on the road are incessant, and the lights of the car behind shine on the exhaust from the car in front, giving the whole city a filthy smell.
The stores at night seem to be tireless, with colored lights and sound on, as if to tell the young people that the night life has just begun, and this restless night needs to be young and energetic.
The hustle and bustle of the city and the quietness of Dean Lan at this moment seem to be somewhat at odds with each other, but they seem to blend in just right.
The dramatic contrast between the hustle and bustle and the quietness seems to suggest something that is difficult to describe in words, and also contrasts with Dean Lan’s stability and coolness.
At this moment, Sansa Ran saw the familiar figure from a distance, and instantly, she held her breath, she couldn’t believe that it was Dean Lan, but she couldn’t get what she wanted.
The two of them met each other, and their steps stopped, and they both looked at each other with a complicated expression.
The air at this moment was suddenly quiet, as if everything was still, as if only the breathing of the two of them could be heard, but then there was a breeze blowing constantly, bringing a hint of coolness to the people.
Sansa Ran moved her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but didn’t. She could only frown at Dean Lan.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Dean Lan also looked at the familiar woman across the room, but could not make a sound.
After a long silence, Dan Lu looked at Sansa Ran’s face with a puzzled expression, “Sansa, do you know this Mr. Dean Lan? Why are you looking at each other like this?” Finally, he couldn’t help but ask.
This was the woman he liked, and he wanted to know her heart, the people she knew, although he was very reluctant at the moment to know that she knew the man in front of him.
“No, I don’t know him, I just felt some familiarity before, like a friend of mine, I was mistaken.”
Sansa Ran denied decisively, her face looked expressionless as if she really didn’t know him, but her eyes didn’t leave Dean Lan, as if she hoped he would understand.
But Dean Lan did not understand her eyes, her expression, and lowered his head in frustration, smiling twice at them “What a coincidence, Mr. Dan, to meet you here.”
Dan sighed in relief and looked at Dean Lan with a smile, “Yes, what a coincidence, we are here for the ball, my date had a little trouble and I sent her back.” Mr. Lan, what are you doing here?
Dean Lan nodded slightly and touched his nose, “I’m here with some friends and some old friends asked me to catch up. I just ran into you guys when I got out, so I’ll leave now since I have some business to take care of at the office.”
Dan nodded and gave his standard smile: “Mr. Lan is really a busy man, he’s out with his friends and still forgot to work, so let’s not talk too much, we’ll get together again one day when you’re free.”
Dean Lan’s mind recalled Sansa Ran’s words, and he couldn’t help but feel discouraged, “Yes, she doesn’t know me, she doesn’t know the one who brought her unhappiness, Dean Lan, wake up, she doesn’t care about you.”
Dean Lan passed by them, like a stranger, not knowing her either.
Looking at Dean Lan’s forlorn back, Sansa Ran’s heart felt like it had been stabbed by a needle, and her heart felt guilty.
She wanted to tell him how much she loved him, to explain to him what had happened today, to tell him how much she had been wronged at the ball, and as she thought about it, she couldn’t help but walk towards Dean Lan.
But just as she was about to walk towards Dean Lan, she found Dan holding her hand and looking at her with a smile and eyes full of affection and concern. He
gently pulled her towards him, trying to get closer to her, and gently whispered in her ear, “Does Mr. Lan really look like your friend?”
Sansa Ran squeezed out a stiff smile and nodded, not wanting him to notice the change in her mood, while her eyes occasionally stole a glance at Dean Lan, who was walking away from them.
“Thank you for today, thank you for thinking of me so much, you’re such a kind girl, I guess I made the best choice by liking you, and the happiest thing that ever happened to me.”
Dan looked at Sansa Ran sincerely and couldn’t control the joy in his eyes. Sansa Ran smiled but didn’t say anything and kept not daring to look him in the eyes but kept secretly looking at Dean Lan until she saw him get into his car and drive away, then she withdrew her eyes.
Sansa Ran thought it was no good to explain anything now anyway, let’s talk about it when we get back, things will always be solved, and I hope he will understand himself.
I hope the two of them can sit down and have a good chat, which is much better than being at odds with each other, so she starts thinking about what she should tell Dean Lan when she goes back at night, and what Dean Lan’s attitude and thoughts will be.
At this moment, Dan couldn’t forget the way Sansa Ran looked at Dean Lan. He always felt that there was something between them, that they knew each other, although Sansa Ran said that she didn’t know each other.
But the way she looked at Dean Lan with a hint of worry and as if she had something to say, Dan could see it clearly, and he thought about what their relationship was.
He thought about why Sansa Ran knew Dean Lan but pretended not to, about what secrets they had to tell each other.
But he was afraid that what he thought was true, then he would have another opponent, and Dean Lan was not an easy man to deal with.
He couldn’t help but look at Sansa Ran, only to see her frowning, still thinking, which made Dan feel a little uncomfortable.
“Just how big a part of your heart does Dean Lan play that you keep thinking about it, or am I really overthinking it and you’re thinking about the prom today.”
Dan raised his hand and touched Sansa Ran’s brow and said with a smile, “It’s not nice for a girl to frown, smile.”
Sansa Ran looked up at his face and saw the same warm smile, so she smiled back at him in understanding.
Dan withdrew his hand and turned to look up at the sky, there were no stars in the sky, I don’t know if it was because the colored lights were too bright at night or this environment was too bad to be covered up, in any case their mood was as bad as the sky.
