37. Intimate, you say how deep?

  Under Chen Chen's gaze, Kong Xiran slowly walked up to the tombstone and gently stroked the words on it.

  Looking at her familiar appearance, Chen Chen knew that the person buried here must be very important to her, and the text on the tombstone did not have the surname Luo, there was only one explanation.

  As expected, Qiao Xiran let out a soft sigh: "Mom, I've come to see you again."

  Chen Chen only then remembered that he had been to Luo's villa several times before, but had never seen Luo Xinyan's mother. It turned out that she was resting in peace here all along. Looking at it this way, although Luo Xinyan was a rich family's daughter, her life wasn't as carefree and happy as one would expect.

  "Mom, I'm so lonely..." Ruo Xinran said with her head down, Chen Chen couldn't see her expression: "After you left, I've been very lonely. Dad is busy with his career and doesn't have much time to spend with me. I'm always alone..."

  It was only after hearing this outpouring that Chen Chen had his first glimpse into the girl's inner world.

  Yes, she was indeed very lonely. After her mother's death, she closed off her heart and didn't want to open up to anyone. She usually looked so cold and unapproachable that people didn't dare get close to her.

  It's not that she is this kind of person, it's just that no one has ever really cared about her, no one has ever truly touched her heart.

  "You don't have to be lonely." Chen Chen stood behind her and calmly said, "Don't shut yourself off, accept the life that's to come, and you won't be lonely. The choice is yours."

  "Isn't it strange? I actually don't have any friends, is that very pathetic?" Ruo Xinran shook her head lightly with her back to Chen Chen: "The people around me, either have ulterior motives towards me, or think I'm arrogant and play the role of a spoiled miss, unwilling to get close to me."

  "That's because they don't understand you. It's biased to judge someone without truly understanding them." Chen Chen smiled: "At least from my understanding, you're not that kind of person."

  "You seem to know me well?" Luo Xinyan slowly stood up and turned around, a faint smile floating at the corner of her mouth: "We've only known each other for a few days, how dare you say you understand me?"

  "Does understanding someone have anything to do with time?" Chen Chen spread out his hands and countered, "Shouldn't it be related to the depth of interaction between both parties?"

  "Are we very close then?" Rong Xiran also couldn't help but reveal a smile, with an extremely playful expression.

  "Close to you, is it deep or not?" Chen Chen shrugged lightly: "Only boyfriends and bodyguards can get close to this step."

  "Poverty...". Ruo Xinran stretched out her hand to gently brush away her hair, her elegant posture causing Chen Chen's gaze to pause: "Let's go, I want to take a look at the sunset, send me up the mountain."

  "I know a place, but it takes some walking." Chen Chen thought for a moment and made his own suggestion: "For someone like me who is not well-off, you may ask where the good places to spend money are, I don't necessarily know, but look at the sunset, I do know about that."

  "With five million in hand, are you still a small fry?" Lu Xinyan couldn't help but roll her eyes.

  "Did Lao Kuo tell you?" Chen Chen was slightly taken aback: "But compared to your Kuo family, he's just a small fry."

  "Don't belittle yourself." Hong Xinyu smiled faintly: "Don't underestimate yourself, if you do, you're just a small person. Give yourself a little more confidence and you'll be a big shot. The choice is yours."

  "Is this the format of our conversation?" Chen Chen glared at his opponent, looking very dissatisfied: "Using my own words to counterattack me?"

  "That's a fact!" Xiao Xingran glanced at her and walked away towards the outside of the cemetery.

  The two of them got on the car together, and Chen Chen drove towards Nanshan in the suburbs of Rongcheng.

  Drove on the main road for twenty minutes, then got on the mountain highway, along the winding road towards the top of the mountain, drove for more than ten minutes, and stopped at a vacant lot by the side of the road.

  "Next we need to walk on foot, the road is not easy to walk, hope you are mentally prepared." Chen Chen raised his hand and reminded him.

  In response, Kong Xinyan seemed to have no worries at all and got off the car by herself: "Lead the way."

  Jian saw Chen Zhen and didn't say anything else, and led the way forward with a peaceful mind. The two of them walked one in front of the other along the rugged mountain path, the golden light of the sunset shining through the gaps between the branches, making everything seem calm and serene.

  Fortunately, the journey was not too long, and Ruo Xinran persisted, but by the time she arrived at her destination, she was already drenched in sweat.

  As I walked out of the woods, the scene before me suddenly opened up. This was a mountain top cliff, with an extremely broad view. Not only could I see the sunset sinking below the horizon, but the entire city of Rong was also within my sight.

  At the sight of this magnificent view, Lu Xing suddenly became intoxicated and all his fatigue disappeared.

  "I didn't have much money, and leisure activities were limited when I was studying." Chen Chen said casually while gazing out: "On weekends when I was bored, I would climb mountains, but unexpectedly discovered this great place."

  "When people are too comfortable, they lose the motivation to pursue good things." Lu Xinyan nodded and her gaze became extremely distant: "And good things often don't exist in bustling places, but hide in unknown places like this one."

  "This remark of yours will invite a lot of opposition." Chen Chen smiled: "Isn't it said that one would rather cry in a BMW than ride a bike to watch the sunset?"

  "What's wrong?" Hong Xiner smiled and shook her head: "We're taking a luxury car to watch the sunset, we've got all the good things in life, what more could you be dissatisfied with?"

  "This is indeed..." Chen Chen responded with a sound, and at this moment, his ears suddenly caught a faint unusual movement.

  Just as Luo Xinyan was about to say something else, Chen Chen waved his hand and interrupted her.

  She was stunned for a moment, and then saw Chen Chen put his index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture, while tilting his ear to listen, as if he had discovered some unusual movement.

  Just as she was secretly wondering, Chen Chen finally came back to his senses and looked at her with a serious expression: "We are being followed and monitored. I had this feeling since we went up the mountain, but at that time I thought it was an illusion."

  "What should we do now?" Luo Xinyan was shocked and suddenly didn't know what to do.

  "In short, let's leave this place first and talk about the rest later." Chen Chen made up his mind in an instant, grabbed Ruo Xinran's hand and turned to leave.

  Suddenly her hand was caught, and Rou Xi's pretty face turned red in an instant.

  It was originally a delightful thing to hold a girl's hand, but at this moment Chen Chen had no mind to savor it carefully. His gaze was heavy as he looked towards the path they came from, where a sturdy man with a buzz cut slowly walked towards them.

  As he approached the two people, a sinister glint appeared in Banjin's eyes, like that of a bloodthirsty beast.
