Su Ran stared at Su Han intensely for a little while before she finally said with an odd look, “Never mind, son. We’ll pass on the sunscreen.”
“What is it now?”
“Boys your age look better darker.” Having said that, Su Ran nodded at Su Han seriously and stressed again. “Really!”
No way would Su Ran admit that she was envious of how nice her son’s skin was.
“Hoho, I think we are more or less done.”
“You take the first two boxes and I’ll get the other two. Let’s bring our stuff downstairs first, okay?’ said Su Ran to Su Han.
Before she was even done talking, Su Han had already squatted down and picked up the two not-so-light boxes before he walked over, coolly, and picked up the two bags in front of her before he turned and walked out of the apartment.
Su Ran: She suddenly felt an inexplicable happiness of being looked at resentfully.
“Ah, Xiao Su.” Su Ran and Su Han ran into Grandma Da Bao when they stepped out of their apartment.
“What’s the matter? Are you guys moving so early in the morning?” asked Grandma Da Bao, surprised, when she saw the boxes and bags that Su Han was carrying.
Su Ran was embarrassed by that question.
“Uh, no, we are going on a trip.”
“Oh, a trip. Now is good time to go on a trip. You can avoid the long weekend rush.” Grandma Da Bao nodded, and asked again, “How many days are you going to be gone for?”
“Oh, just a few days.” Su Ran was too embarrassed to tell her that they would only be gone for two days.
“Oh, okay. I will keep an eye out at your apartment while you are gone, just in case,” said Grandma Da Bao passionately.
“Oh, alright. Thank you then.”
Next to her, Su Han, looking at the woman smiling with a guilty conscience, couldn’t help but thought to himself: We have pretty much emptied out the apartment, what’s there left that need to be watched over?
Su Han turned and quietly walked downstairs with the boxes.
As he walked away, Su Ran quickly parted ways with Grandma Da Bao and followed behind Su Ran.

By the time the two got downstairs, Lu Shao was already waiting in front of their building in his car.
Su Han’s eyes widened immediately when he saw the man waiting in front of the car.
“What are you doing here?” He asked with an unhappy look as he stared angrily at Lu Shao.
Hearing that, Lu Shao only responded with a cold, “I don’t need to report to you on where I go and what I do.”
Glancing over Su Han casually, Lu Shao turned and looked at Su Ran who walked out after Su Han.
Seeing that she, too, was carrying a bag with her, Lu Shao walked up to her quickly.
“Here, let me.” Lu Shao reached out to the bag that Su Ran was carrying as he talked.
“No, no, it’s fine. You don’t need me,” said Su Ran quickly as she took a step back reflexively.
She didn’t feel right to have him carry her things for her.
Besides, Su Ran wanted to tell him that it was just a bag of snack for the road. It might look very big, but it really isn’t that heavy.
Perhaps, you should take a look at your son first, Mr. Lu.
Those that Su Han was carrying were truly heavy.
“It’s fine.” After a slight pause, Lu Shao had already taken the bag over from Su Ran.
“Put in the front?” By now Lu Shao had already noticed that this seemed to be a bag of munchies.
“Mmhmm. Thank you.”
Su Ran thanked Lu Shao politely and, when she turned her head, she noticed that her son was still standing at the same spot with a disgruntled look.
“Why is he here when we are on our way to the Quality Development Outing?” asked Su Han in a deep voice as he stared at Lu Shao disgruntledly.
Su Han was no idiot. How could he not be able to tell that the only reason for Lu Shao to show up right here right now was to join them to the Quality Development Outing.
But how could he!
Who said he could go with them?
Did he say it was okay?
