“I’ve always been confident!” She stood up straight, puffed out her chest, and her breasts trembled slightly.
Gu Ran turned his head and whispered in her ear, "I have a purely academic question... Your size must be at least a C, right?"
Su Xiaoqiang blushed when she heard his question, and then said with a mix of pride and shyness, "You underestimate me."
Her face turned even redder after she said it.
How did she become so... outspoken!
They were all corrupted by this man!
Gu Ran opened his mouth, nodded slightly, and whispered, "It seems a bit difficult to master."
Su Xiaoqiang didn't understand the pun at first, but after walking more than ten meters, he suddenly realized it.
"Stinking rogue!"
She pinched Gu Ran's waist again as punishment.
Chapter 72 Gifts and Sentiments
His girlfriend pinched the flesh around his waist, but Gu Ran just smiled; it didn't hurt much.
She never used her strength.
Seeing his wicked grin, Su Xiaoqiang thought to herself, "Men really are all lustful creatures; their minds are always filled with those kinds of thoughts."
He gently pinched the flesh on Gu Ran's waist for a while.
Su Xiaoqiang thought that the flesh around his waist was very firm.
She had seen him work out before; he had six-pack abs and incredibly well-developed pecs!
She suddenly wanted to touch it and see what it felt like.
But in a shopping mall, a public place, after thinking about it, I decided against it.
Go back and find another opportunity.
So far, the part she's touched the most is his biceps.
You can touch them freely on the street.
Su Xiaoqiang's lips curled into a smile as she gently stroked the muscles on Gu Ran's arms.
His muscles didn't look very big; they weren't the kind of muscles that bodybuilders develop to the point of bulging out. They looked like lumps of flesh, which was disgusting.
Gu Ran's arms are very good. They look like white, straight arms, but they feel very strong to the touch.
She recalled that when they were on Tian Ding Mountain, it was these same hands that picked her up and carried her as they ran.
Lying in his arms, I felt incredibly safe.
Su Xiaoqiang hugged Gu Ran's arm, held it in her arms, smiled sweetly and happily, and even laughed out loud.
Gu Ran felt the softness on his arm and asked her with a wicked smile, "Woman, why are you laughing and taking advantage of me in the street?"
"Who took advantage of you? You shameless person."
I'm the one giving you this benefit!
Su Xiaoqiang let go of his arm. After being told that, she felt too embarrassed to continue hugging him.
But then Gu Ran grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.
"You think you can just leave after taking advantage of me? Did I say you could leave?"
His hand rested on her soft, slender waist, his arms encircling her in his embrace, and then he lowered his head slightly, staring at her small mouth.
"I have to get my money back, otherwise it's not fair."
Su Xiaoqiang is tall and slender. Today she was wearing a pair of heeled leather shoes, and she is about 1.75 meters tall.
She leaned against Gu Ran's chest, her face very close to his, and naturally felt his gaze.
She looked around. It wasn't the weekend, so there weren't many people in the mall, but... there were still people there, and quite a few shop assistants. Many people were looking over.
She felt a little embarrassed, turned her head away abruptly, and pushed him away.
"You big bad guy! You wish!" she said haughtily.
Gu Ran smiled, walked up, and continued to hold her fair little hand.
Where else would you like to go?
Seeing that he had skipped the previous topic and had not taken any further action, Su Xiaoqiang felt a little relieved, but also a little disappointed.
She looked around and suddenly said, "Let's go look at some jewelry!"
Su Xiaoqiang remembered something: they had been together for so long, but he had never given her a gift.
Moreover, she celebrated her birthday a few days ago.
My nineteenth birthday.
But he hasn't wished her a happy birthday yet.
I didn't give her a birthday present, and it seems like I have no intention of celebrating her birthday again.
Previously, because he was injured, she hadn't mentioned birthdays or anything like that.
Although he had promised to celebrate my birthday.
But she felt sorry for him because he was injured, so she didn't blame him.
But... can't this man be a little more proactive and self-aware?
You can celebrate the birthday afterwards!
She didn't necessarily want any gifts; after all, her family was rich, and she could buy whatever she wanted.
She just wanted a little bit of his attitude.
Although he accompanied her shopping as a gesture, she felt that shopping wasn't enough as compensation for her birthday.
It's a little lacking... in terms of sentiment.
So she took Gu Ran to the jewelry store, intending to give him a heads-up.
But Gu Ran seemed completely oblivious.
He casually asked Su Xiaoqiang, "Are you going to buy some small gifts for your girlfriends?"
"Let's buy it for Liu Miaomiao, and forget about the others." Su Xiaoqiang looked around and pulled Gu Ran to a boutique. "You and I will choose together."
"I'm not familiar with Liu Miaomiao, so you can choose for yourself."
“No, we’ll choose together. It means we’re giving the gift together.” Su Xiaoqiang’s words were loaded with meaning, subtly admonishing her boyfriend. “A gift represents a sentiment. It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not. The most important thing is that it’s heartfelt. It represents affection and proves that even though she’s far away, I still remember her.”
Gu Ran said something cheesy: "So it's not enough that you only have eyes for me, you also have other people on your mind..."
"You big idiot!" Su Xiaoqiang glared at him angrily.
"Just kidding!" Gu Ran ruffled her hair. "Then let's pick out a gift for Lu Mingfei too."
"Give it to him?" Su Xiaoqiang had suspected their relationship for a long time.
Gu Ran said, "He is one of my few remaining friends."
Su Xiaoqiang nodded without saying anything, but thought to herself that she should treat Lu Mingfei better in the future.
They browsed around the jewelry section for a while, bought Liu Miaomiao a cute sterling silver hair clip, and Lu Mingfei a brand-name solar-powered electronic watch.
Su Xiaoqiang glanced at his expression and asked casually, "Besides Lu Mingfei, who else do you want to buy a gift for?"
Gu Ran shook her head: "That's all."
"Have you forgotten someone?"
"I haven't forgotten," Gu Ran said decisively.
It seems he really did forget.
Su Xiaoqiang felt a little disappointed.
She knew that as soon as she brought it up, he would immediately accompany her to browse the entire mall and choose a gift she liked.
But if he only remembers something when she brings it up, it's really too boring and lacks any surprise.
"Is there anything else you need to buy?" Gu Ran asked her. "You haven't bought anything for yourself yet!"
You big idiot, if I don't buy it for myself, won't you buy it for me?
I haven't bought anything for myself, I've been waiting for you!
How can you not understand this, you idiot, you big idiot!
Su Xiaoqiang cursed inwardly, but her face remained expressionless as she handed the things in her hand to Gu Ran.
"I need to go to the restroom."
She walked ahead of Gu Ran, then her expression changed. She pouted with a wronged look, and tears were about to fall.
After falling in love with him, she often felt like crying.
She was such a proud person!
Gu Ran followed Su Xiaoqiang with a smile until they reached the restroom. After she went inside, he sat down on a nearby bench.
At that moment, a boy of about eighteen years old walked out of the men's restroom; it turned out to be Xin Zhican.
Gu Ran stared straight ahead at the ground, thinking to himself that South Korea was a really small place.
It does seem quite small, only slightly larger than Yuzhou, a municipality directly under the central government of my country.
He then remembered that the shopping mall seemed to belong to the Tianle Group.
It seems normal for Xin Zhican, the heir of Tianle Group, to be here.
When Xin Zhican saw Gu Ran, he immediately glared at her subconsciously, then stared at her for a long time, becoming more and more puzzled.
Chapter 73 Why is President Lucian here?
Xin Zhican walked to Gu Ran's side and tentatively asked in Korean, "Jin Shiyu?"
