A few moments later, Xu Jiao Ran put her clothes back on before she reentered in front of Li Nan.
At this moment, her face was still lingering with that scarlet red from before.
This gave her a different look to her unearthly beautiful face, which was so clear and beautiful!
She was standing in front of Li Nan with her lips pursed and head bowed, causing Li Nan to look a little dumbfounded.
This was the girl he had loved so much!
The room was incomparably quiet for a while, and neither side spoke, there was an ambiguous mood that spread through the air.
“Cough cough, that, it’s still early, didn’t you say you were going to treat me to dinner, you shouldn’t back out, right?”
Li Nan coughed dryly twice to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Just now, Xu Jiao Ran and Li Nan were standing face to face, and her thoughts could not help but drift off into a chaotic direction.
At this moment, hearing Li Nan’s words, she finally snapped out of the trance she had just been in.
“Oh, when …… of course not, thanks to you today, of course I have to treat you to dinner!”
Xu Jiao Ran hurriedly said in a panic.
“Good then, let’s go then!”
Li Nan smiled faintly.
Afterwards, the two of them went straight downstairs.
On the way, Xu Jiao Ran’s mind couldn’t help but recall the scene she had just had when she and Li Nan had been frank and honest with each other, and the scarlet on her pretty face hadn’t subsided.
She kept her head down, not daring to say even a word more.
All the way until after she had left the hotel.
“Yah!”
Xu Jiao Ran suddenly exclaimed.
“What’s wrong?”
Li Nan asked suspiciously.
“My phone and wallet, I think I forgot them both at the hotel!”
Xu Jiao Ran had a confused look on her face.
She had been a bit distracted on this journey just now, and had forgotten all these things at the back of her mind, and it was only until this moment that she finally remembered.
“Wait for me, I’ll go back and get it.”
Xu Jiao Ran said, and was about to turn back again.
But he was pulled back by Li Nan.
“Alright, consider this time as my treat, big deal, you can just invite back next time.”
Li Nan said with a smile.
“How can this work ……”
Xu Jiao Ran had an apologetic face.
“Well, it’s okay, boys treating girls to dinner, isn’t that what you should do, haha ……”
Li Nan said with a smile.
Hearing this, the redness on Xu Jiao Ran’s face couldn’t help but thicken a few more points.
She suddenly realized how she was getting along with Li Nan nowadays, and how she was becoming more and more like a couple ……
In the end, Xu Jiao Ran did not insist, and only had to nod.
Looking at Xu Jiao Ran in front of her with a distracted look, the corner of Li Nan’s mouth was a bitter smile.
This was the first time he had seen this girl, who had such a cute and dumb side.
A few moments later, Li Nan and Xu Jiao Ran found a restaurant and walked in.
Not long after they were seated, Li Nan’s phone rang again.
When he looked at the phone and saw that it was Xue Ting’s name, Li Nan was stunned.
He knew that Xue Ting would not call him when there was nothing to do.
“I’ll go out to take a call first.”
Li Nan said to Xu Jiao Ran.
“Mm, okay!”
Xu Jiao Ran nodded her head.
However, when looking at the back of Li Nan’s back as he went out with the phone, a complicated look surfaced on Xu Jiao Ran’s face.
She guessed that this call could be from that girlfriend of the other party.
For a moment, Xu Jiao Ran’s heart, which had been throbbing before, was slightly quiet at the moment.
Over there, after Li Nan left the hotel, he directly picked up the phone.
“Hello, Xue Ting, what’s the matter?”
Li Nan asked.
“Young Master Nan, according to the information you provided for us this afternoon, we have conducted an investigation and now we have been able to come up with a result.”
Xue Ting said.
Hearing these words, Li Nan’s eyebrows rose slightly.
On the way back from the Orange Channel’s studio hall today, Li Nan had already sent a message to Xue Ting’s side, asking Xue Ting’s side to check if the incident involving Xu Jiao Ran’s parents last time was related to that Annie Wang.
Now, it seemed that there should already be an answer.
“You tell me.”
Li Nan said indifferently.
“Young Master Nan, your guess is correct, the last incident was indeed related to Annie Wang!”
Xue Ting replied.
“Indeed!”
Li Nan’s voice was deep and cold.
It seemed that this Wang Annie was not a good thing at all, to the extent that she had targeted Xu Jiao Ran one after another.
However, there was still something in Li Nan’s mind that he could not figure out.
Could it be that the other party was just worried that Xu Jiao Ran had stolen her thunder?
But there were so many people participating in the competition, so why did she single out Xu Jiao Ran?
What’s more, last time, Xu Jiao Ran had only made it to the Top 100, so she didn’t seem to be a threat to her.
At that moment, she heard Xue Ting continue, “Besides, we have some other findings ……”
“Oh? What kind of discovery?”
Li Nan asked in confusion.
“This, something I’ve sent to your phone, Young Master Nan, you’ll know it when you take a look.”
Xue Ting was a little less than forthcoming.
“Okay, I know!”
After hanging up the phone, Li Nan then directly opened his WeChat, and indeed saw that there was an unread message from Xue Ting.
When Li Nan clicked on it, his brows immediately furrowed.
It was a surveillance video.
In this surveillance video, there was Wang Annie.
And together with Annie Wang, there was another familiar figure.
Luo Wanqiong!
Without even thinking much, Li Nan already had a guess.
To be honest, he didn’t want his guess to be right either.
A few moments later, Li Nan went back to the hotel again.
Li Nan did not mention anything about Luo Wanqiong’s side of the story to Xu Jiao Ran.
When Xu Jiao Ran saw that Li Nan did not say much, she did not ask more questions.
However, in her heart, she was even more certain about the source of that phone call just now.
“You’re going to take part in the ten-in-five competition tomorrow, aren’t you?”
Li Nan asked.
“Oh, that’s right.”
Xu Jiao Ran nodded her head.
“I’ll be there tomorrow to cheer you on, so you have to do well!”
Li Nan said with a smile.
“Yes, definitely!”
Xu Jiao Ran smiled and nodded her head.
The next night, the Super Singer 10-in-5 competition went on as scheduled.
The entire studio hall was decorated with brilliant lights.
The auditorium was filled to capacity with 5,000 live seats.
The Super Singer is a very influential competition with high ratings, and the audience was naturally very enthusiastic to be able to watch it in person.
They had just been informed by the programme team that the original mentor, Cheng Hua, had been replaced and that one of the top 10 contestants, Annie Wang, had withdrawn from the competition early for personal reasons.
Only no one among these viewers knew that just this morning, both Cheng Hua and Annie Wang, their voices had been completely ruined, and they had knelt here for the whole night and were directly admitted to the hospital.
Tonight’s competition was broadcast nationally.
At this moment, backstage, the top ten contestants were already all getting ready, and Annie Wang’s previous place in line had been replaced.
In front of the dressing table, Xu Jiao Ran and the others were making their final preparations.
At this moment, an officer in overalls came to them.
“Water, please!”
“Water, please!”
The staff member placed a cup of hot water, in front of those contestants.
When that staff member raised her head, a delicate face was displayed.
Luo Wanqiong!
