The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

Chapter 299 One step to reach the destination

Song Yan warmly welcomed Gu Ranle and Ci Nian into the office.

As soon as he entered the office, Song Yan asked politely, "Cinian, Miss Gu, what would you two like to drink? Tea, coffee, or something else?"

Gu Ranle spoke first and said with a smile: "Just give me a glass of boiled water, thank you."

Ci Nian also echoed: "Give me a glass of boiled water, thank you."

When Gu Ranle said "thank you", Song Yan just smiled and nodded slightly.

But when Ci Nian also said the word "thank you", Song Yan's expression froze instantly, and the change was very obvious.

Seeing such a reaction, Gu Ranle guessed that either Ci Nian and Song Yan had a very close relationship in the past and had no habit of saying thank you to each other, so Ci Nian was suddenly so polite that Song Yan was a little surprised; or the relationship between the two was not very good, and Ci Nian never said thank you to him before, so she was suddenly so polite today that Song Yan was a little uncomfortable.

But no matter which situation it is, it is enough to show that the two words just spoken from Ci Nian's mouth have a different weight to Song Yan, as if they touched a corner deep in his heart.

Song Yan was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and turned around to pour water.

While Song Yan was pouring water, Gu Ranle gently nudged Ci Nian with her shoulder, with a sly smile on her face, and whispered, "Are you interested in him? Do you want me to help you test his feelings?"

When Ci Nian heard this, her ears instantly turned red as if they were about to bleed. She lowered her head and murmured, "What if we are just being too sentimental? How awkward it will be when we meet in the future."

Gu Ranle didn't take it seriously. He patted Ci Nian's shoulder and said, "What's so embarrassing about this? If you are really being sentimental, then you should take the initiative. If you don't seize the opportunity with a younger brother like this, he will definitely be snatched away by another little goblin. By then, you won't even have anywhere to cry."

After hearing this, Ci Nian was a little shaken. She bit her lip, thought for a while and said, "Then... how about giving it a try?"

Just then, Song Yan walked in with two glasses of water.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ranle immediately made an "OK" gesture to Ci Nian, meaning that she should not worry and leave everything to her.

Ci Nian saw the gesture and nodded slightly, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.

Song Yan first handed a glass of boiled water steadily to Ci Nian, and then turned around and handed the other glass to Gu Ranle.

Just from the order of passing the water, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ci Nian holds a very special place in Song Yan's heart.

However, as Ci Nian was an insider, as the saying goes, “Those involved are often the most confused”, she did not realize the deep meaning contained in this detail.

As a bystander, Gu Ranle saw it all clearly.

Some emotions, even if the parties involved want to deliberately hide them, will still be revealed inadvertently from some subtle actions, just like Song Yan's unusual reaction to Ci Nian at this moment, and the order of giving the water to Ci Nian first, both seem to be telling of some unspeakable emotions.

"Ci Nian and I came here today just to hire four bodyguards." Gu Ranle didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly to Song Yan.

When Ci Nian heard this, she quickly pulled on Gu Ranle's clothes and said anxiously, "Baby, four bodyguards are too many. Two will be enough."

Gu Ranle turned around and looked at Ci Nian seriously, saying firmly, "No, we need at least four! I knew at first glance that Yu Chuan was not a good person. For your safety, we need at least four. Don't worry, I'll take care of the money, so you don't have to worry about it."

"But..." Ci Nian wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted by Song Yan as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Ci Nian, did someone bully you?" Song Yan looked nervous, staring at Ci Nian, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his worry and anger almost overflowing from his face. He was worried about Ci Nian's safety, and was full of anger at the person who dared to bully Ci Nian.

Gu Ranle watched from the side, and was almost certain in her heart that if Song Yan knew who the person who bullied Ci Nian was, he would definitely rush up to beat that person up without saying a word.

"No, no one bullied me." Ci Nian quickly waved her hands and explained, "Baby thought that person was not a good person and was afraid that I would be in danger, so he thought of hiring a few bodyguards for me."

"Is it really like this?" Song Yan didn't seem to believe what Ci Nian said. His eyes were full of doubt. He turned his gaze to Gu Ranle, wanting to get a definite answer from her.

Gu Ranle nodded and said, "It was a man named Yu Chuan. When I first saw him, I felt that he was not a good guy. But Ci Nian said that they had known each other since childhood. But I think people's hearts are hidden, so I still have to be careful, so I thought of hiring a few bodyguards for her."

"Yu Chuan?" Song Yan frowned when he heard the name.

Gu Ranle asked back: "Do you know him?"

"I... I've only met him once." When Song Yan said this, his voice suddenly became a little stammering, and his eyes glanced at Ci Nian, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Ci Nian asked curiously, "Have you met once?"

Song Yan scratched his head, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he took a deep breath and still mustered up the courage to speak out: "Five years ago, I was going to confess my love to you. That day, I went downstairs of your house and ran into Yu Chuan. He told me that you were his fiancée, and that you had been engaged since childhood. Both parents agreed, and even you agreed to it."

When Ci Nian heard this, she immediately flew into a rage and said angrily, “What nonsense!”

"I'm not talking nonsense, everything I said is true." Song Yan's face turned red with anxiety, and he tried his best to defend himself.

Gu Ranle hurried to smooth things over: "She didn't say you, she was talking about that guy named Yu Chuan. She doesn't like Yu Chuan, and the engagement is nonsense. When we were young, our parents did mention it as a joke, but there was no engagement."

Song Yan was stunned at first, then he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said awkwardly: "I thought you were talking about me."

"So, you like Ci Nian?" Gu Ranle didn't hide anything and asked directly.

Song Yan glanced at Ci Nian with deep affection in his eyes, then nodded heavily and said, "But she doesn't seem to like me."

Gu Ranle asked back, "You haven't even confessed to her, how do you know she doesn't like you? Maybe she has been waiting for you to speak up."

Ci Nian's face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt. She didn't expect Gu Ranle to ask so directly. She was a little at a loss for a moment.

After listening to Gu Ranle's words, Song Yan's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope. He looked at Ci Nian again and mustered up the courage to say, "Ci Nian, in fact, I have never forgotten you in the past five years. When I heard Yu Chuan's words that day, I felt very uncomfortable, but I didn't dare to ask you. I know I may not be good enough, but I really like you and want to protect you all the time. Although I am a few years younger than you, I think I have the ability to protect you. Will you marry me?"

Gu Ranle: “…”

"Brother, are you confessing your love or proposing to me?" she teased with a smile.

Song Yan scratched his head, "I don't want to get it done in one go."

He looked at Ci Nian affectionately, "Ci Nian, are you willing? Don't worry, when you marry me, if you quarrel with my sister, I will definitely not side with her."

"What did you say, you little brat?" An angry shout came from outside the door, accompanied by the sound of "tapping" of high heels.
