Chapter 649: Meeting the Parents Unexpectedly?
After much deliberation, Xuan Moyuan decided to tell him the truth.
He softly called out "Ranran," then lowered his voice, genuinely finding it difficult to speak:
"There is something I wish to tell you truthfully, and I hope Ranran will not take it to heart..."
Bai Mengran was enjoying a delicious and creative dish when she suddenly noticed that the handsome man sitting opposite her was inexplicably hesitant and stammering, which was completely different from his usual confident and composed demeanor. Seeing this, she couldn't help but become very curious.
Shifting her attention from the food, Bai Mengran picked up a glass of the restaurant's special gradient-colored sparkling fruit juice, took a sip to smooth her mouth, and casually asked:
"Hmm, what's wrong? What happened all of a sudden?"
Through the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling glass beside him, Xuan Moyuan glanced again at his mother, who was currently indulging in the delicious food at the table while also stealing glances at his table, and at his father, who was busy serving his mother food and nodding in agreement.
Meeting Ranran's puzzled gaze, Xuan Moyuan helplessly shrugged and frankly told her:
"Ranran, it's my father and mother... I don't know when they came, but they're sitting in the seats behind us now..."
"puff--"
Upon hearing this, the sparkling juice that Bai Mengran had just inhaled instantly traced a colorful parabola in the air and sprayed straight onto the smooth, mirror-like marble floor beside her.
Bai Mengran had no time to care about any of that. At this moment, she was stunned by the sudden news, and all sorts of thoughts were swirling around in her mind like a turbulent sea.
Sigh! No wonder that good-looking elderly couple at the table behind me kept glancing in my direction...
They... were actually Zhaoheng's father and mother?
Oh my, aren't those the current Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager? They might even become mine in the future...
Uh, wait, wait! What are you thinking about?
Bai Mengran quickly shook her head, eager to interrupt the "evil thoughts" running rampant in her mind.
Oh my god, it's so embarrassing! For some reason, the strange thought of "even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually" actually flashed through her mind just now...
Overwhelmed by embarrassing thoughts, Bai Mengran's fair skin flushed slightly, and her cheeks felt hot as if they had been roasted by fire.
"Uh……"
She finally managed to suppress her chaotic, uncontrollable thoughts and calm her racing heart. She looked up, about to say something...
Unexpectedly, he was met with Xuan Moyuan's gaze, a smile playing on his lips and intense eyes fixed on him...
And so, the words she was about to say were instantly swallowed back down her throat.
In fact, Xuan Moyuan had been staring at Bai Mengran without blinking the entire time.
From the rich and ever-changing expressions on her face, he could roughly guess some of the subtle thoughts in her heart.
This was the first time Xuan Moyuan had ever seen Ranran's face show such a flustered and helpless expression.
To him, Ranran's appearance was lively and adorable, and he didn't find anything wrong with it at all.
However, despite her momentary panic, Bai Mengran quickly adjusted her mindset.
Now that we know the other person's identity, we must not be impolite.
So Bai Mengran politely and cheerfully returned the smile to the woman who was always smiling at her.
Immediately afterwards, she saw that the other person's face, which had always maintained a polite smile, also showed a fleeting moment of hesitation and panic, just like her own had just experienced.
Immediately, the lady nervously lowered her head and whispered something to the person next to her.
Because Xiao Lan was sitting directly opposite Bai Mengran.
As she enjoyed the delicious food, she became increasingly pleased with the beautiful young girl sitting opposite Yuan'er, secretly admiring Yuan'er's excellent taste, just like her own.
She had only thought that since she was already there, she might as well have a meal there, and had no intention of disturbing Yuan'er and the other person.
But just as she was smiling involuntarily, the pretty girl suddenly smiled at her for some reason.
After exchanging a glance with Yuan'er, Xiao Lan suddenly realized that it must have been her son, who had forgotten his mother in his beauty, who had discovered their whereabouts and told the girl...
As expected, Yuan'er stood up and walked gracefully towards their table. After stopping and respectfully bowing, she smiled and said:
"Father, Mother, I have been searching for you so hard! I sent people everywhere to look for you, but we have not been able to find any trace of you."
Ever since the high-speed rail first opened, I have been eagerly thinking of inviting Father and Mother to come and enjoy this "fairyland". I thought you two would be very satisfied with everything here, but I have never had the chance.
Since we've met here by chance, why don't you sit down with me? This is also a token of Miss Ran...Bai's kindness."
Xuan Moyuan extended this invitation because Ranran had made such a polite invitation to him after hearing their identities, which prompted him to inquire about his father and mother's wishes.
When the two elders gladly accepted the invitation, the four of them sat around a table, and this unexpected meeting began abruptly.
Bai Mengran couldn't quite remember many of the details of their first meeting.
I vaguely remember that the atmosphere was a little awkward and restrained at the beginning, but soon Empress Dowager Xiao became the one who broke the deadlock.
She excitedly grabbed Bai Mengran's hand and launched into a barrage of compliments, showering her with praise.
The two hit it off as they chatted, and the conversation naturally turned to everyday matters.
Especially when Empress Xiao learned that the charming girl in front of her was actually the fairy praised by everyone, and the behind-the-scenes manager of the "Fairyland" who had deeply attracted her since she arrived here, she was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.
Xiao Lan cast aside all thoughts of status and identity, transforming herself into a devoted fan of Ranran, and expressing her love for the fairyland with unreserved joy and excitement.
On the other hand, the Xuan father and son sitting at the opposite table seemed to have been banished to the cold palace, and were truly being completely neglected.
The two couldn't get a word in edgewise, so they could only sip their tea slowly and whisper among themselves, discussing the dramatic changes brought about by the current situation in Anshun Kingdom...
When Bai Mengran learned that Empress Xiao and the other person had arrived by sheer coincidence, just in time for the first opening of the capital's teleportation point that morning, she was deeply astonished and had to admit that they were incredibly lucky.
Great! They can now freely enter and leave the Fairy Realm and return to the palace at any time!
This alone makes things far more convenient than for those government officials who still have to take the high-speed rail back to Beijing today.
Subsequently, under the enthusiastic arrangement of the host Bai Mengran, Emperor Xuan Tai and Empress Xiao were led to the Unforgettable Mobile Phone Mall.
Once inside the mall, the two of them, like curious children, began to browse through the dazzling array of mobile phone models, and finally, they both bought their new phones to their satisfaction.
Bai Mengran thoughtfully helped them register Fetion accounts one by one, and then, on a whim, pulled these people into a separate small group, and also casually pulled Xuan Wanling from her friends list...
