《The Tycoon Has A Secret Crush On Me》 Chapter 1 - 1 001 Little Sister Comes to Rob a Marriage_1 ?1: Chapter 001: Little Sister Comes to Rob a Marriage_1 1: Chapter 001: Little Sister Comes to Rob a Marriage_1 ¡°Mr. Gao Han, are you certain that this marriage is a union ordained by God, and do you accept Ye Ranran as your wife?¡± The somber and solemn voice of the priest echoed throughout the church. ¡°I...¡± ¡°He is not willing.¡± A female voice erupted from the entrance of the church, dropping like a bombshell. Everyone turned in surprise, looking at the beautiful woman who had appeared at the entrance. Every attention was focused on her, no one noticed an individual quietly leaving their seat in the corner. ¡°Tianjiao.¡± Madam Ye stood up. Ye Tianjiao held a bouquet of flowers and walked forward, dressed in a wedding gown. She was already pretty, but with the wedding dress and the refined makeup, she was absolutely breathtaking. ¡°Tianjiao.¡± Ye Ranran uttered softly. The person who had come to interrupt the wedding...turned out to be her half-sister, Ye Tianjiao. Ever since they were little, Ye Tianjiao enjoyed taking her possessions, and now she had even stolen her fiance?. A cold smile appeared on Ye Ranran¡¯s face as she adamantly looked at Gao Han: ¡°I need an explanation.¡± She did not go crazy, she did not scream, she didn¡¯t even question him, she just looked at Gao Han calmly. Gao Han¡¯s face was fraught with panic; he looked at her in a fluster. ¡°The truth is... I am pregnant.¡± Ye Tianjiao declared smugly to Ye Ranran. There was nothing Ye Tianjiao wanted that she couldn¡¯t acquire. ¡°When did this start?¡± Ye Ranran glanced at Ye Tianjiao¡¯s slightly protruded belly. It looked like it had been about three months and she didn¡¯t even know about it. Just like a fool, she¡¯d been deceived by them for so long. Ye Ranran¡¯s heart felt as if it was being squeezed out, like someone was gripping her heart. Even breathing was painful. ¡°Actually, Han knew me first, and he loves me.¡± Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes were gentle, with a hint of apology: ¡°I really wanted to give him to you, but I just couldn¡¯t do it.¡± Quiet whispers broke out among the guests. They originally thought their younger sister was the third party, but their elder sister turned out to be the one. Stealing her sister¡¯s boyfriend, she could actually do such a thing. Blaming everything on her, Ye Ranran was shaking with anger: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say anything? Why did you not tell me about this in the past three years?¡± During the long three years, they had plenty of time to tell her about their love, about their desire to be together. Why didn¡¯t they speak up? Why did they have to wait until today to reveal it? ¡°I actually thought about giving up in the past, but I found out that I couldn¡¯t. Besides, I¡¯m carrying his child now. I know it¡¯s hard for you to accept, but we truly love each other, we beg for your understanding.¡± With these words, Ye Tianjiao bent at her knee and knelt down. ¡°Tianjiao.¡± Madam Ye rushed over from below. She pleaded with Ye Ranran: ¡°Ranran, Tianjiao didn¡¯t mean to embarrass you, you know the truth now, just step back.¡± ¡°What does dad think?¡± Ye Ranran gripped the bouquet in her hand tightly. ¡°Tianjiao is indeed in the wrong here, but there¡¯s a reason behind it, she didn¡¯t do it intentionally. You, can you forgive her this once? I will find a better man for you later.¡± At that moment, Ye Ranran felt a cold rush in her heart. She looked around, the church was decorated by her personally, the roses she had arranged herself. Even the invitations, they were all handwritten by her. Don¡¯t cry, be graceful, even while feeling utter despair, even while enduring the heartache. ¡°Bless you.¡± Ye Ranran tossed the bouquet that was in her hand, straightened her back, and headed towards the doorway. When she exited the church, not a single person followed her out, the voice of Madam Ye rang faintly in her ear. ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t leave, the wedding continues, continues.¡± How ironic... Ye Ranran walked faster, not wanting to hear those harsh voices anymore. Chapter 2 - 2 002 Turned Around and Received a Red Book_1 ?2: Chapter 002: Turned Around and Received a Red Book_1 2: Chapter 002: Turned Around and Received a Red Book_1 Ye Tianjing chased after her: ¡°Ranran, wait.¡± What else does he want to say now? She has already done as they wished ¨C withdrawn, sacrificed herself, isn¡¯t that enough? A car conveniently came to a halt in front of her. Without a second thought, Ye Ranran opened the door and climbed in: ¡°Drive.¡± The car sped off, leaving Ye Tianjing behind quickly, and that vexatious voice finally disappeared. ¡°Where to go?¡± A magnetic voice echoed within the car. Where to go? Where can she go now? Ye Ranran felt a headache coming on. ¡°Seeing how you¡¯re dressed, you¡¯re meant to get married, right?¡± Seeing her silence, the man continued the conversation. Ye Ranran let out a sarcastic laugh: ¡°Just left the church.¡± ¡°I was dumped.¡± Before the man could ask, Ye Ranran quickly spoke. The car came to stop, and the man turned around from the front to look at Ye Ranran. He had a flawless face, a faint smile residing in his eyes, gentle and dignified, as warm and polished as jade. ¡°How about marrying me?¡± The man suggested. Looking at his unbearably handsome face, Ye Ranran went silent for a moment. ¡°I won¡¯t betray you.¡± The man¡¯s gaze became stern as he spoke in a grave tone. Ye Ranran found it extremely amusing: ¡°Why me?¡± He proposed to her at the very first meeting, why? A man like him should have no lack of girlfriends. Or does he think she looks naive and easy to fool? ¡°Because I¡¯ve been betrayed, too. We share the same fate, plus, I need a wife now.¡± Great reason, and just in time, she needs a husband too. ¡°Let¡¯s go. The civil affairs bureau is about to close.¡± Her household registration book was at home, just so, she needs to change her clothes as well. Half an hour later, Ye Ranran appeared at the doors of the civil affairs bureau. She looked up at the large characters overhead. ¡°Any regrets?¡± ¡°You can still back out now if you want to.¡± The man next to her spoke solemnly. Ye Ranran stepped in: ¡°I fear you may be the one who regrets in the end.¡± Marrying was simple, filling out some forms, paying the fees, taking photos, and receiving the certificate. Looking at the red certificate in hand, Ye Ranran was a bit dazed. She just got married? To a man whose name she doesn¡¯t even know? ¡°Acceptable, I suppose.¡± The man looked at the photo on the certificate and nodded slightly. Ye Ranran leaned in and saw the name beneath: Jun Mochan. This name was well known to Ye Ranran. The emerging power in A City, arrived here four years ago, and founded J.C Group. Three years later, J.C went public, and by now, it had become a globally renowned corporation. It owns property, clothing, film and television, and many other industries, with properties scattered across the world. And he became the most famous diamond bachelor in A City. Just recently, the J.C Group was in a competition with Gao Han¡¯s W.M Group over a piece of new development land, and became competitors. Who would have thought, she picked up a treasure by chance. Ye Ranran felt a subtle sense of pleasure inside. Gao Han married her sister, huh? She just married his competitor, let¡¯s see who irritates who now. ¡°Wife, let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Mochan naturally reached out to hold her hand, as though it was something he had done countless times before. Ye Ranran felt a bit ill at ease, but she didn¡¯t pull away. ¡°Our marriage is just a piece of paper, you don¡¯t need to feel burdened. The day you find a woman you fancy, we¡¯ll divorce.¡± Jun Mochan paused, the laughter in his deep black eyes faded, replaced by a wave of seriousness. Chapter 3 - 3 003 One Night_1 ?3: Chapter 003: One Night_1 3: Chapter 003: One Night_1 ¡°I take our marriage very seriously.¡± Ye Ranran pursed her lips, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just to take a swing at Gao Han?¡± ¡°Miss Ye, I don¡¯t find it necessary to sacrifice my marriage just to take a shot at someone who isn¡¯t worthy to be my opponent,¡± Jun Mochan said unhurriedly. ¡°Then why would you...¡± ¡°As I said, I need a wife, and you, just so happen to meet my requirements,¡± Jun Mochan evaluated her as he spoke. The way he examined her with a gaze akin to picking satisfying vegetables at a market annoyed Ye Ranran a bit, ¡°How do you know I¡¯m okay with you?¡± ¡°Oh, are there parts of me that Mrs. Jun is unsatisfied with?¡± Jun Mochan approached the car, opening the door, ¡°Let¡¯s go, home.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s attention was swiftly diverted, subconsciously asking, ¡°Which home?¡± ¡°Mrs. Jun, I don¡¯t think I need to remind you of your current status,¡± the smile on Jun Mochan¡¯s face disappeared, replaced with a ripple of displeasure. Ye Ranran went silent and slid into the car. It¡¯s true that she had nowhere else to go; she married him because she wanted a safe harbor. Jun Mochan remained silent, the interior of the car quieted down. The latest model of Maybach slowly drove into the Riverside Villa. The next day. The summer sun always seemed eager to shine into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows early in the day. As the sunlight hit the bed, Ye Ranran slowly opened her eyes. Her body ached all over, she couldn¡¯t help but stretch and yawn. ¡°Awake?¡± A voice that was half familiar and half strange came from behind her. Ye Ranran turned her head stiffly, and the face she saw was the almost perfect face of Jun Mochan. Slightly pale skin, straight and tall nose, thick black eyebrows, and in his deep serene gaze, there was a hint of concern. Following his face downwards, she saw the quilt casually draped over his body, with more than half of his chest exposed. There were scratch marks all over it. Ye Ranran shivered and pulled back the quilt. She already had a sneaking suspicion, but there was still a sliver of hope. Looking down and seeing herself completely exposed, she took several deep breaths, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart. ¡°What happened here?¡± She was feeling slightly hungover; her head was still aching and she couldn¡¯t put together what had happened. ¡°Last night, you offered yourself willingly, and you were very enthusiastic,¡± Jun Mochan lifted the quilt to stand up. Ye Ranran quickly turned her face away. The clear sound of Jun Mo Han¡¯s voice sobered her up a little. Last night, she returned to the villa with Jun Mochan, had dinner, drank some alcohol, and had little memory of what happened after that. Damn it, alcohol really does get you into trouble. ¡°Our agreement still stands, don¡¯t worry about what happened today. I don¡¯t need you to take responsibility,¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s dark eyes were filled with a calm resolution. Ready to head to the bathroom after getting dressed, Jun Mochan paused in his tracks. He slowly turned around and walked towards Ye Ranran. He propped his hands on the bed, effectively trapping Ye Ranran in his embrace. ¡°I remember telling you that I take our marriage seriously,¡± and he was serious, which is why he couldn¡¯t restrain himself last night. ¡°I¡¯m not the kind of man who plays with women. Since I married you, I will take responsibility for you,¡± Jun Mochan lifted Ye Ranran¡¯s chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. In her still calm, deep gaze, Ye Ranran saw a trace of seriousness. He meant what he said. ¡°But we...¡± ¡°I never agreed to that.¡± Under Jun Mochan¡¯s overbearing aura, Ye Ranran found it hard to breathe, but she still muttered out her last thought, ¡°We¡¯ve just met, we barely know each other.¡± Chapter 4 - 4 004 Encounter with Scum Man and Woman Again_1 ?4: Chapter 004: Encounter with Scum Man and Woman Again_1 4: Chapter 004: Encounter with Scum Man and Woman Again_1 ¡°Oh, so you think our acquaintance is still in its infancy? Should we deepen our understanding then?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes were twinkling with an enigmatic light. As an adult, Ye Ranran naturally understood his innuendos. She blushed in embarassment and anger, grabbing the sheets with one hand and flinging a pillow at him with the other. ¡°Jun Mochan, you¡¯re a pervert,¡± she accused. ¡°Hehe.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes softened as he chuckled lightly. Furious, Ye Ranran turned her head away, refusing to look at him. Seeing her shy reaction, Jun Mochan stopped teasing her and rose to his feet, heading towards the bathroom. As the footsteps gradually receded, Ye Ranran turned her head back. When the bathroom door finally closed, she hopped up from the bed. The clothes she needed were already laid out on the bedside table. She picked up the latest J.C. model dress. In stark black and white, the dress had a shirt design that exuded an office lady style, perfectly suitable for Ye Ranran. Her long curly hair framed her face, and her large eyes, petite, palm-sized face, and flawless skin radiated a faint and natural blush. If not for her sophisticated demeanor, one would believe her to be a recent college graduate. As Ye Ranran was zipping up her dress, the bathroom door swung open. Jun Mochan emerged in a fresh bathrobe, hanging loosely over his figure. His innate elegance gave him the serene air of the first morning breeze on a summer day. Refreshingly cool, yet gentle. Upon seeing Ye Ranran, his eyes filled with satisfaction. ¡°I need to go fetch something later. You don¡¯t have to wait for me.¡± Ye Ranran refused to meet Jun Mochan¡¯s gaze, averting her eyes awkwardly. This man had a strong presence. Even if she tried, she couldn¡¯t ignore him. ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll drive you.¡± He turned and walked towards the wardrobe, not giving Ye Ranran the option to refuse his offer. The car parked smoothly in front of the luxurious residential complex. This place was located in the city center, a prime location where only the rich resided. Initially, Ye Ranran had acquired this house at a high price, outbidding others, and now it was being enjoyed by that unfaithful couple. Jun Mochan, from her expression, knew who she was about to meet, and this place was not unfamiliar to him either. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go, then don¡¯t. You can always buy new things,¡± he suggested- ¡°No, I need to go.¡± Ye Ranran lifted her head arrogantly. ¡°I can go by myself.¡± She slammed the car door shut. She did not want others to see her in such a sorry state. The Thirteenth floor. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Ye Ranran heard Ye Tianjiao¡¯s voice. ¡°Move all these things in and throw those out.¡± Ye Ranran quickened her steps, turning the corner just in time to see Ye Tianjiao come into view. She was directing two women to throw out some clothes and other items. Ye Ranran could tell whose these things were without even looking. She bent down to pick up one of the shirts that had been thrown out, ¡°I didn¡¯t realize you were in such a hurry to get rid of me.¡± She was so eager to rid everything of Ye Ranran¡¯s presence. Without the cameras, Ye Tianjiao dropped her disguise of gentility: ¡°I thought my sister would no longer need these old items, so I had someone clean them up for you.¡± Ye Tianjiao was wearing a low-cut dress, with visible hickeys on her neck and body. It was as if she was silently challenging Ye Ranran. Ye Ranran couldn¡¯t help wondering whether she was purposely tilting her head back while speaking to her, as if wanting to make sure Ye Ranran saw everything clearly. Ye Ranran looked at her with mockery: ¡°Well, thank you, little sister. But, allow me to remind you, with a baby on the way, even newlyweds have to be careful. After all, the pregnancy is not yet stable.¡± Chapter 5 - 5 005 Scumbag Man Made the Female Supporting Role Look Bad_1 ?5: Chapter 005: Scumbag Man Made the Female Supporting Role Look Bad_1 5: Chapter 005: Scumbag Man Made the Female Supporting Role Look Bad_1 ¡°Thank you for your concern, sister. Gao Han knows his limits. After all, this is our first child,¡± Ye Tianjiao caressed her stomach, her face full of motherly love. Ye Ranran couldn¡¯t bear to see her this way. She pushed the person next to her aside, picked up the box off the floor, and prepared to leave. ¡°I had intended to let you have him originally, but after three years together, he still loves me. What can we do about that?¡± Ye Tianjiao spoke somberly, blocking Ye Ranran¡¯s path. A tree without skin must surely die, a person without shame is invincible. Ye Ranran could now fully comprehend those words. The frustration she was-silently bearing could no longer be swallowed: ¡°Ye Tianjiao, aren¡¯t you disgusted with yourself? It was you who climbed into Gao Han¡¯s bed, you who seduced him, and now you¡¯re playing the victim.¡± Since she and Gao Han made their relationship official and brought him home, Ye Tianjiao intentionally and unintentionally began to seduce him. It¡¯s not that Ye Ranran hadn¡¯t been wary of it. However, even with a thousand precautions, a thief within the household was hard to guard against. She had still held a glimmer of hope in her heart that Gao Han could resist the temptation and not be seduced by Ye Tianjiao. Unfortunately, in the end, she had been blind. This shameless couple had ended up together after all. ¡°At least I see your true colors sooner rather than later. That¡¯s better than divorcing after marriage,¡± Ye Ranran murmured, a thin smile playing on her lips. ¡°Tianjiao speaks the truth; she did not lie to you.¡± A familiar voice sounded from behind Ye Tianjiao. Ye Ranran felt as if she was frozen in place. ¡°I met Tianjiao first, but you said that you liked me, and Tianjiao didn¡¯t want to compete with you so...¡± With an apologetic look and innocent eyes, Ye Ranran was so angry that she wanted to slap her. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She didn¡¯t know if it was because her sorrow had peaked, but she no longer felt much of anything. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but this house is in my name. You two need to move out immediately, or I¡¯ll charge you with trespassing,¡± she warned. Ye Ranran¡¯s words made the faces of Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han change slightly. ¡°Ye Ranran, don¡¯t be unreasonable. Even though the house is in your name, Gao Han is the one who bought it,¡± Ye Tianjiao retorted, her face showing her anxiety. This over hundred-square-meter residence cost more than five million just to buy. Including the cost of renovation, it was over ten million. How could Ye Tianjiao willingly let Ye Ranran take it? Furthermore, houses in this area were hard to come by. Once given away, buying another one would be difficult. They were a hot commodity, hard to find on the market. ¡°Ye Ranran, I can¡¯t believe this is how you ¡®love¡¯ me,¡± said Gao Han, his eyes turning icy. ¡°Indeed, that¡¯s how much I ¡®love¡¯ you. Do I need to call security?¡± Ye Ranran raised her mobile phone, suggesting the threat. ¡°No need, I¡¯ve brought them for you,¡± came a cool voice from one side. The sound was not loud, but each word felt like it pierced the heart. Jun Mochan walked over with four bodyguards. Standing tall, in a neat white shirt with rolled-up sleeves. Strolling over at a leisurely pace, his tempo was nothing short of extraordinary. Upon seeing Jun Mochan, a glint appeared in Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes. She immediately pretended to be harmless and weak: ¡°Sister, I know you¡¯re livid now, and you said those things. So, I¡¯ll give up and leave.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Jun Mochan stood next to Ye Ranran, taking her hand. ¡°Wife, let¡¯s go. I promise you, you won¡¯t have to see these annoying people again.¡± Ye Ranran left with Jun Mochan, not looking back once. Chapter 6 - 6 006 Jun Mochans Dominance_1 ?6: Chapter 006: Jun Mochan¡¯s Dominance_1 6: Chapter 006: Jun Mochan¡¯s Dominance_1 From inside the car, Ye Ranran spoke with a trace of bitterness in her voice, ¡°Thanks for earlier.¡± If not for his timely arrival, she wouldn¡¯t know how to extricate herself from that situation. She hadn¡¯t intended to want the house at all, but she hadn¡¯t expected that despicable pair to be so nauseating. That being the case, she was no longer going to hold back. Before Jun Mochan had a chance to say anything, Ye Ranran¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Director, oh, okay, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± When Ye Ranran finished her call and looked up, she noticed that Jun Mochan had already made a U-turn in the direction of her office. He was a surprisingly considerate man. ¡°How did you know where I work?¡± Ye Ranran asked, coming to a belated realization. She began to suspect, since he seemed to know so much about her, her husband to be, was he perhaps plotting something? ¡°As I said, you¡¯ve satisfied my criteria.¡± He didn¡¯t elaborate, but Ye Ranran understood that he must know who she was. Otherwise how could this exceedingly busy man just conveniently appear when she needed him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have no other intentions. I just need a marriage, and it seems that you do too. I¡¯m quite satisfied with you, that¡¯s all.¡± Indeed, she had nothing to lose at this point, and he, with his towering influence and power, had nothing to take from her. With that thought, Ye Ranran felt somewhat reassured. Seeing her visibly relax, Jun Mochan continued, ¡°Also, Mrs. Jun, does a husband really need to be thanked for helping his wife?¡± Did she know, her gratitude irritated him as if she was trying to create a boundary between them. His eyes overflowed with warmth and concern, like a placid lake into which one could easily sink. Ye Ranran thought, for whatever reason he had sought her out, as long as he did not betray her, she would be content with him. Upon her return to the office, she noticed a slight change in her colleagues¡¯ expressions as they looked at her. Ignoring that, she walked back to her workstation with her head held high and chest puffed out. After placing her belongings down, Ye Ranran headed towards the director¡¯s office. ¡°Knock, knock.¡± She politely knocked on the door. ¡°Come in.¡± In the office, besides the director, there was another person ¡ª Zhao Yue Li. Both of them had an unusual flush in their faces. Pretending to not to notice, Ye Ranran stood at attention, ¡°Director.¡± ¡°Ranran, you must be aware of our impending collaboration with S.Z Magazine?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Ranran nodded. As a fashion designer employed with a medium-sized apparel enterprise, she knew that the company was planning a collaboration with the top domestic S.Z Magazine. With her wedding around the corner, she had planned to postpone it, but now something like this had come up. So, there goes her break. Back to work directly. ¡°Alright. S.Z Magazine wants us to present ten fashion designs. This task falls on you and Yue Li. You two will share the workload.¡± Amongst the designers in the company, only she and Zhao Yue Li were official designers, the others were more like assistants. Thus, this result didn¡¯t surprise Ye Ranran. ¡°Is there anything else, Director?¡± ¡°Submit your designs within half a month. That¡¯ll be all for now, you may leave.¡± Half a month? For five designs? Ye Ranran felt the urge to strangle the director. It must be really easy for him since he¡¯s not the one doing the work, right?. On top of having a good grasp of the trends, the designs needed to cater to the taste of the magazine¡¯s readers. As Ye Ranran flipped through the magazine in her hand, her mind went blank. The phone on her desk rang, out of the blue. Without glancing at the caller ID, she picked up and said, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Where are you?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s tender voice echoed through the line. ¡°I¡¯m at the office.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll come pick you up.¡± Staring at the disconnected call on her hand, Ye Ranran felt a headache coming on. She hadn¡¯t even had a chance to reject his offer. Why did this man have to be so domineering? Chapter 7 - 7 007 Force Her into a Marriage Union_1 ?7: Chapter 007: Force Her into a Marriage Union_1 7: Chapter 007: Force Her into a Marriage Union_1 Just as Ye Ranran was holding the phone in a daze, it rang again. This time, it was not Jun Mochan who was calling, but a call from the Ye Family¡¯s old house. ¡°Ranran, come home tonight,¡± Ye¡¯s father¡¯s authoritative voice filled Ye Ranran¡¯s ears. As Ye Ranran was about to refuse, her father¡¯s voice came again: ¡°I have already sent someone to pick you up.¡± Well, she had to go back now. Sooner or later she had to confront it. Ye Ranran sent a text message to Jun Mochan and then went downstairs. The car slowly drove into the Ye Family¡¯s old house. Ye Ranran pushed open the door. Her father, mother, Gao Han, Ye Tianjiao, besides her grandmother and Ye Tianjing, everyone was there. ¡°Sister.¡± In front of others, Ye Tianjiao put on her helpless face again. Ye Ranran felt nauseous with disgust. She just stood at the door: ¡°What do you want from me?¡± ¡°Child, don¡¯t you come home anymore? Where were you last night? Do you know how worried your dad and I were?¡± Ye¡¯s mother made a move towards Ye Ranran. ¡°I¡¯m not dead, so you don¡¯t need to worry. I wouldn¡¯t commit suicide for you,¡± Ye Ranran shoved her back, avoiding her touch. ¡°What kind of language is that? Leaving home for the night and still feel justified?¡± Ye¡¯s father looked visibly upset. ¡°Home? Is this still my home?¡± Ye Ranran chuckled coldly: ¡°If you have anything to say, say it. I¡¯m very busy.¡± ¡°Who was the man you were with today?¡± Her father didn¡¯t beat around the bush and asked directly. Ye Ranran knew they were asking about this. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t care even if she died out there. ¡°Sister, I know you¡¯re heartbroken, but you can¡¯t just grab any man to fill the void,¡± Ye Tianjiao seemed to be advising her kindly, but was actually adding fuel to the fire. ¡°I didn¡¯t realize you cared about me so much. I understand. If it¡¯s about this, I know my boundaries,¡± Ye Ranran turned to leave. ¡°Stand right there,¡± Ye¡¯s father looked at her disappointedly: ¡°When did you become so reckless?¡± ¡°Excuse me, father, how have I been reckless? Did I steal someone¡¯s boyfriend or husband? No matter how reckless I am, I will not be a mistress.¡± ¡°And I definitely will not become a mistress and then slander the original spouse. But, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, a mistress¡¯s daughter will still be a mistress.¡± ¡°Ranran, I know that you¡¯ve always blamed me, but you really can¡¯t blame me for what happened back then,¡± Ye¡¯s mother seemed filled with self-pity, her voice trembling slightly. Look at her, men can never resist this kind of act. Ye Ranran, why can¡¯t you learn to be smart? ¡°If you have any grievances, you can vent them at me. I also know about this situation. From now on, you will stay at home and not go anywhere. I¡¯ll find someone else for you,¡± Ye¡¯s father commanded in an unquestionable tone. ¡°Yes, sister, just stay at home for these few days. Father has found Young Master Xie for you. I hear he¡¯s very handsome, wealthy, and the dream man of many wealthy young ladies,¡± Ye Tianjiao chimed in helpfully. Ye Ranran, as if she hadn¡¯t heard Ye Tianjiao, listened indifferently. ¡°I know that your sister¡¯s affair with Gao Han has hurt you, but I¡¯ve already used money to shut the media up. Because of this, there¡¯s a bit of a financial issue in the company,¡± Ye¡¯s father¡¯s voice softened considerably. ¡°This time, the Xie Family¡¯s willingness to invest is good news for us. As long as we can get it, the company¡¯s crisis would be over,¡± said Ye¡¯s father in a much calmer voice. ¡°So, after all this talking, what does it have to do with me?¡± ¡°The Xie Family¡¯s investment prerequisite is to get 30% of the shares, and you just so happen to hold 30% of the shares. As long as you marry him, the 30% of the shares will still be in the hands of our Ye Family,¡± Ye¡¯s father tried to convince her earnestly. Chapter 8 - 8 008 Top-Quality Relatives_1 ?8: Chapter 008: Top-Quality Relatives_1 8: Chapter 008: Top-Quality Relatives_1 Ye Ranran looked at them incredulously: ¡°This is your idea of helping me find someone?¡± Ye Ranran felt a chill running down her spine: ¡°Let me tell you, in your dreams! Why should I marry to solve the problems you have created?¡± ¡°What are you talking about, don¡¯t you have a stake in the company?¡± Ye¡¯s father frowned. Ye Ranran lifted her proud head: ¡°What does the company have to do with me? Did you give me money or make me the boss?¡± ¡°Ranran, don¡¯t be so stubborn. If it weren¡¯t for the funds from the company, who knows how the media would portray us. The company is having some trouble now; we need you to make a small sacrifice.¡± Ye¡¯s mother softly pleaded. ¡°Then let Ye Tianjiao marry! Isn¡¯t she capable of attracting one man after another? Maybe Mr. Xie is willing to be her lover?¡± ¡°Also, don¡¯t make it sound like I owe the company money. No matter how badly the media writes about me, it won¡¯t change the fact that she slept with my brother-in-law.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s words were unusually sharp and harsh. She was usually kind towards everyone, she never thought she would say such vicious words one day. Ye Ranran felt if she continued to argue with them, she would die of frustration. ¡°Ye Ranran, Tianjiao is your sister, how could you speak about her in that way?¡± Ye¡¯s father was furiously glaring at her, rage etched on his face. Ye Ranran met his gaze defiantly, a rebellious expression on her face: ¡°Sister? Sorry, my mom only gave birth to me.¡± Ye Ranran walked away. Seeing the situation take a turn, Ye¡¯s mother tried to stop her. ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going at this hour?¡± ¡°None of your business¡± Ye Ranran pushed her off and continued to walk away. ¡°Sister.¡± Ye Tianjiao also tried to stop her. ¡°Stay away, don¡¯t touch me.¡± Ye Ranran hurriedly walked away, on the way pushing a vase near the entrance. The vase shattered and blocked everyone else¡¯s path. Ye was rushing towards the exit. In her hurry, she sprained her ankle. Hearing footsteps behind her, Ye Ranran gritted her teeth and continued walking forward. She needed to leave this place as soon as possible. Judging by the way things were going, if she stayed here, she might be bundled off to Mr. Xie tomorrow night. Feeling as if she was being chased by ghosts, Ye Ranran ran out of the Ye Residence¡¯s grand main entrance. The pain in her foot was becoming increasingly unbearable, yet Ye Ranran didn¡¯t dare to slow down. While looking behind her to see if anyone was chasing her, she accidentally ran into a car. ¡°Sorry,¡± Ye Ranran instinctively apologized. ¡°Get in the car.¡± The car window slowly rolled down, and the uniquely cool voice of Jun Mochan came from inside. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t have time to question why he was there, so she just opened the car door and got in. Before she could even get seated properly, she fell over onto Mochan. Ah Chuan quickly got out of the car and shut the door, then got back into the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Go, leave this place,¡± Ye Ranran tightly gripped Jun Mochan¡¯s arm. ¡°Ah Chuan, drive.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± Ah Chuan stepped on the gas, and the car shot off into the distance. Ye Ranran gritted her teeth, the pain so severe that she couldn¡¯t utter a word¡ªas cold sweat dripped down from her forehead. ¡°Do you not think you need to tell me something?¡± Mochan lifted her face. Ye Ranran¡¯s face was hauntingly pale, paper-like. Noticing her discomfort, Mochan¡¯s piercing gaze darted to her foot. ¡°Ah Chuan, go to the hospital.¡± ¡°Yes, president.¡± Ah Chuan immediately turned the car around and headed towards the nearest hospital. Chapter 9 - 9 009 Being a Hooligan_1 ?9: Chapter 009: Being a Hooligan_1 9: Chapter 009: Being a Hooligan_1 ¡°The swelling is severe, I¡¯m afraid the bone might be injured, we¡¯ll need to get an X-ray,¡± the doctor commented after a glance. Ye Ranran felt somewhat dizzy, not fully comprehending what the doctor was saying. ¡°I will have someone dress her wound first. For safety, I recommend she stays in the hospital for a day or two. It¡¯s not going to be easy for her to walk like this,¡± the doctor suggested professionally. Ranran clearly heard this time and frustratingly lifted her head from Jun Mochan¡¯s arms, ¡°I don¡¯t want to stay in the hospital.¡± ¡°Do as needed.¡± Mochan¡¯s eyes turned gloomy. Something must have happened at the Ye Residence earlier, or Ranran wouldn¡¯t end up like this. ¡°Let¡¯s see how it is first, if it¡¯s not serious, she may not necessarily need to be hospitalized. But given her current situation, it does not look good. I¡¯ll arrange for an X-ray right away,¡± the doctor stated as he wrote in Ranran¡¯s medical record. ¡°President, I¡¯m going to go handle the hospital admission process,¡± Ah Chuan said. The doctor, recognizing Mochan¡¯s prominent status, quickly arranged everything. The X-ray showed that the bone was indeed injured; she would need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days. ¡°Just dressing it is fine, I won¡¯t get it wet and I¡¯ll change the dressing on time, I¡¯ll be fine.¡± Ranran pleaded with Mochan. Mochan was engrossed in his documents and didn¡¯t bother to respond to her. Ranran, exasperated after attempting to persuade him without success, decided to get out of bed. Mochan, seemingly aware of her movements, looked up from his documents. His icy cold eyes were filled with an ominous chill. Ranran immediately froze in place. Mochan glanced at her for a moment, then put aside the documents he was holding and walked towards her. His imposing figure, exuding an intimidating aura, towered over Ranran. Without her consent, Ranran instinctively recoiled, tilting her head back to gaze at the approaching Mochan. She swallowed hard, ¡°What... what are you trying to do?¡± Mochan braced his hands on either side of her, trapping her between him and the hospital bed, ¡°If you don¡¯t want anything to happen, you should stay still.¡± ¡°This is a hospital.¡± Ranran bravely met Mochan¡¯s gaze. Mochan demonstrated with his actions that regardless of where they were, he could always subdue her. ¡°Jun Mochan, you¡¯re a rogue!¡± Ranran wiped her lips. Mochan sat at the edge of the bed, leaning slightly towards her, one hand holding her waist, his face bearing a faint smile, ¡°I can be even more of a rogue, Mrs. Jun, care to try?¡± ¡°President,¡± Ah Chuan walked in after completing the paperwork. Ranran hastily pulled the bedsheet up to cover herself. Mochan stood up nonchalantly as if nothing had happened, signaling Ah Chuan with a glance. Ah Chuan placed the medication beside them and followed Mochan out of the room. ¡°Thoroughly investigate. What happened tonight, I need to know the results by tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay, and about tomorrow...¡± ¡°I¡¯ll head in later tomorrow. Bring me the important documents. Also, don¡¯t tell anyone I¡¯m here.¡± He didn¡¯t want to disturb Ranran. After instructing Ah Chuan on some important matters, Mochan went back to Ranran. Ranran had already fallen asleep. After an exhausting day and a quarrel with the Ye family, she was physically and mentally exhausted. Now relaxing, she fell asleep quickly. Mochan sat beside her working on his documents. Only after changing Ranran¡¯s dressing in the middle of the night did he lie down on the adjacent bed. The next day, Ranran woke up to find Mochan¡¯s absence and reached for her crutch, intending to get out of bed. Chapter 10 - 10 010 His Gentleness_1 ?10: Chapter 010: His Gentleness_1 10: Chapter 010: His Gentleness_1 ¡°Where are you planning to go?¡± A man walked in from outside, who else could it be but Jun Mochan? ¡°And where have you been?¡± Ye Ranran asked in the same tone. For some reason, the unease and panic in her heart disappeared the moment she saw him. ¡°I went out to make a call and asked Mrs. Wu to bring some breakfast over.¡± Jun Mochan went to her side, helping to tidy her slightly disheveled hair. ¡°Your foot is injured, try not to move around unnecessarily.¡± Unlike his overbearing demeanor last night, his tone was now gentle, as if coaxing a petulant child. Ye Ranran¡¯s momentum weakened instantly. This man seemed to always be able to pinpoint her weaknesses, leaving her defenseless. ¡°I just wanted to wash my face.¡± Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to admit that she intended to find him, so she dodged his gaze as she spoke. ¡°I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Jun Mochan didn¡¯t expose her little trick, instead he took her hand and spoke in a decisive tone. After washing her face, Mrs. Wu arrived just in time, and Ah Chuan also arrived with a pile of documents. As soon as they reached the door, Jun Mochan headed out, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s talk outside.¡± Ah Chuan immediately retreated. Ye Ranran watched Jun Mochan¡¯s retreating figure and frowned, but ultimately said nothing. As Jun Mochan looked at the results of the investigation in his hand, his gaze remained gentle, but the air around him gradually cooled, giving off an unexpected sense of danger. ¡°The Xie Family, they¡¯re in the catering business, right?¡± ¡°Yes, President,¡± Ah Chuan answered. Jun Mochan murmured a few instructions to Ah Chuan, who nodded repeatedly. By the time Jun Mochan returned, Ye Ranran had finished eating. ¡°The remainder is yours,¡± Ye Ranran pointed to the porridge in Mrs. Wu¡¯s hand. Mrs. Wu was a little frightened, ¡°Young Master, should I make some fresh porridge for you?¡± She didn¡¯t know he was still staying here and had only prepared enough for one person. ¡°No need,¡± Jun Mochan smoothly took the bowl of porridge from Mrs. Wu¡¯s hand. He ate elegantly, like a Central European nobleman. Ye Ranran watched him in a daze. From their initial encounter, hurried marriage, intimacy, and ongoing mutual support. Having reached this point, she no longer had a way out. Moreover, after what happened last night, she couldn¡¯t possibly back down. After breakfast, Ye Ranran thought Jun Mochan would leave, but he unexpectedly sat down on the other side and started reading documents. ¡°If you¡¯re busy, you don¡¯t have to stay here to look after me. The doctor said I could walk by tomorrow,¡± Ye Ranran glanced at the documents in his hand and said. Jun Mochan lifted his gaze from the documents, his eyes boring into Ye Ranran, ¡°Mrs. Jun, we¡¯re married, legally. It¡¯s my duty to take care of you when you¡¯re injured and hospitalized.¡± ¡°But...¡± ¡°Even if I could hire someone, they wouldn¡¯t be as good as me being by your side.¡± His gentle voice, steadfast gaze, seemed to penetrate her facade, striking at the softest part of her heart. ¡°Why are you being so domineering,¡± Ye Ranran quietly rebutted, using it as a cover for her inner turmoil. She constantly reminded herself that Jun Mochan was being good to her out of responsibility, not love. He said it himself, by marrying her, he had to take responsibility for her. It was certainly not out of love. ¡°You can rest. If you need anything, let me know,¡± Jun Mochan returned his attention to the documents in his hand. Having slept through the night, Ye Ranran was quite refreshed. It was just that moving around was inconvenient for her now, and from the looks of it, Jun Mochan wouldn¡¯t allow her to wander around freely. She pursed her lips and resignedly lay down on the bed. Chapter 11 - 11 011 Young Master Juns Consideration_1 ?11: Chapter 011: Young Master Jun¡¯s Consideration_1 11: Chapter 011: Young Master Jun¡¯s Consideration_1 In the room, the only sound left was Jun Mochan flipping through files. Bored to death, Ye Ranran could only focus on the only thing in the room that pleased her eyes¡ª Jun Mochan. His distinguished and handsome face, was half covered due to him bowing his head down. The sunlight spilled in from the window, sprinkling over him. It made him look even more radiant and grandeur, truly noble and refined. As they say, a serious man looks best. Turns out it¡¯s true. Perhaps the content of the document displeased him, as the smile slowly disappeared from his lips. All he was doing was writing on the paper. During a break from flipping pages, Jun Mochan lifted his head. Ye Ranran stiffened and hastily averted her gaze. The day passed with Jun Mochan handling files and Ye Ranran watching Jun Mochan. At one point, Jun Mochan left for a while but returned after two hours. Ye Ranran did not ask where he had gone. The next morning, when Ye Ranran woke up, Jun Mochan was already standing by the bed. ¡°Why are you up so early?¡± Seeing him, Ye Ranran instantly lost her sleepiness. Jun Mochan held her with one hand and helped her tidy her hair with the other, tenderly and naturally saying, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going home? Just change your clothes and you can go.¡± He did keep his word. ¡°If your injury afflicts your bones, you must rest extensively and not walk around. If anything comes up, immediately come to the hospital,¡± the doctor earnestly advised her. Ye Ranran kept nodding, her eyes full of begging, fearing he would suddenly suggest her to stay in the hospital for a few more days. ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s nothing else,¡± perhaps the doctor saw Ye Ranran¡¯s hope because he finally said what she had been longing to hear. Just as Ye Ranran was about to express her gratitude, Jun Mochan suddenly picked her up. ¡°What are you doing?¡± exclaimed Ye Ranran. ¡°Didn¡¯t the doctor say you can¡¯t walk around arbitrarily?¡± Ye Ranran ¡°...¡± silently buried her face into Jun Mochan¡¯s chest. Fortunately, a car arrived as soon as they left the hospital. The excellent vehicle quickly drove towards Riverside Villa. At the villa, Mother Wu had already prepared breakfast on Jun Mochan¡¯s order. When the car stopped, Ah Chuan, the first to get out, opened the car door: ¡°Mr. President, Madame.¡± Like in the hospital, Jun Mochan carried Ye Ranran out of the car. The way he carried her like a treasure indicated to the servants that the president¡¯s wife was not to be underestimated or neglected. ¡°Do you want to freshen up?¡± Jun Mochan subtly dropped his gaze. His eyes were as deep as the sea, when he watched her, it was like a dense web of love wrapped around her, leaving her nowhere to hide. Ye Ranran, compelled to meet his gaze, her flushed face revealing her thoughts: ¡°Yes.¡± Just then, in the hospital, she had only done a hasty wash, which was clearly not enough for someone slightly obsessed with cleanliness like Ye Ranran. In the bathroom, Ye Ranran looks at herself in the mirror, her skin was white with a rosy glow, her eyes clear and bright. She seemed healthier than she did before she fell ill. ¡°I¡¯ve had someone arrange your clothes. They¡¯re in the dressing room,¡± said Jun Mochan as he opened the door and stood by it. Ye Ranran quickly averted her gaze in surprise, ¡°I see, but is it appropriate for you to open the door so casually while I am washing my face?¡± Jun Mochan studied her from top to bottom before slowly nodding: ¡°You¡¯re right, I should have opened the door while you were taking a bath.¡± Ye Ranran ¡°...¡± There¡¯s just no arguing with a rascal. While going downstairs, Jun Mochan still carried her in his arms. Chapter 12 - 12 012 Young Master Juns Methods_1 ?12: Chapter 012: Young Master Jun¡¯s Methods_1 12: Chapter 012: Young Master Jun¡¯s Methods_1 ¡°Mr. Jun, you didn¡¯t go to work yesterday, and you¡¯re not going today either, is this really fine?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go soon, but don¡¯t worry, even if I don¡¯t work that hard, I can still afford to keep you.¡± After placing Ye Ranran in the chair, Jun Mochan also patted Ye Ranran¡¯s head. She is not a puppy, why did he pat her head like that, Ye Ranran thought with displeasure. After breakfast, Jun Mochan carried Ye Ranran to the balcony, where two maids stood behind him. ¡°I¡¯ll have to attend a meeting soon, so I am leaving early. If you need anything, just tell them. I¡¯ll come back earlier tonight.¡± ¡°Hmm, don¡¯t worry, I can take care of myself. It¡¯s fine if you come back late.¡± Ye Ranran spoke indifferently, her expression just as detached. Her indifference towards him irritated Jun Mochan, nonetheless, he didn¡¯t say much. Anyway, he has already gotten her, it was just a matter of time until she fell in love with him. In the car, Ah Chuan glanced at Jun Mochan sitting at the back. Only when he finished reading a document did he speak: ¡°President, should we deal with the Ye Family...?¡± ¡°No need to act hastily, how are things going with the Xie family?¡± ¡°Everything¡¯s settled, the report has been released.¡± ¡°Hmm, bring the newspaper to me once we reach the office.¡± With Ye Ranran not around, Jun Mochan lost his previous gentleness, although still appearing gentle and refined, a layer of indifference cloaked him. You could feel the chill even before getting close. In fact, there wasn¡¯t any difference between him and a cold-hearted person. ¡°Should the lady really not know all this?¡± Jun Mochan finally looked at him directly. ¡°You have something to say, say it.¡± ¡°I just think that the lady should know about all the things the President has done for her.¡± Ah Chuan sheepishly said. The intimidating aura of Jun Mochan was so formidable that Ah Chuan always felt like he was suffocating in his presence. ¡°What¡¯s the point of her knowing? As my wife, she only needs to stay under my protection.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s tone carried a note of warning. Ah Chuan pursed his lips and dared not say another word. Back at the villa, a computer sat in front of Ye Ranran, with papers spread out beside her. She was engrossed in sketching and writing. Fifteen designs in half a month, the timeline was quite cramped. She essentially had to finish one design a day. Now that two days had been wasted, she had to finish one design a day. Ye Ranran immersed herself in her own world, busily sketching and making notes on a design. It was not until 7 o¡¯clock that she set her pen down. Looking up at the time on her computer, she was about to store away her papers when a news pop-up appeared: The food at a chain restaurant owned by the Xie Family was found to be unsanitary, causing many customers to suffer from food poisoning. Ye Ranran quickly opened the news. The Xie family had intended to collaborate with the Ye family in recent days. Such a strong alliance and capital integration would have further cemented their strength. But this scandal caused the Xie Family¡¯s stocks to plummet, leading potential investors to back out. How could the Xie Family, now struggling to save themselves, still invest in the Ye Family? Ye Ranran stared blankly at the news until a hand rested on her shoulder and a gentle voice came from above her: ¡°What are you looking at so intently?¡± ¡°Did you do this?¡± An inquiry that was said in an assured tone. She was curious as to why he never asked about what happened earlier. Turns out he had known all along. Well, of course, a mere movement of his finger would bring him any news he desired. ¡°So what if I did? And what if I didn¡¯t?¡± ¡°That¡¯s great, it feels good.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes shone brightly. Chapter 13 - 13 013 Gossipy Colleague_1 ?13: Chapter 013: Gossipy Colleague_1 13: Chapter 013: Gossipy Colleague_1 ¡°It¡¯s just a small lesson, she¡¯ll catch her breath in no time.¡± Jun Mochan glanced at the news on the computer, his tone slightly cold. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s late, haven¡¯t eaten yet?¡± Jun Mochan bent down, intending to pick her up again. ¡°Mr. Jun, my foot is just sprained, not broken, okay?¡± As if Jun Mochan hadn¡¯t heard her, he picked her up: ¡°But I want to hold you.¡± The servant beside them silently moved away, and Ye Ranran blushed with embarrassment. This man, he says sweet things without thinking. After staying at home for five days, Ye Ranran could finally walk, albeit with a limp. Half of her design draft was completed, and the rest had to be finished at the company, after all, she had been resting for so long. Moreover, the editor-in-chief of S.Z Magazine was coming today, so she had to go. ¡°Stop, stop here.¡± Seeing that they were about to reach the company, Ye Ranran became anxious. Without a word, Jun Mochan let Ah Chuan continue to drive forward, and the tall Range Rover gradually stopped in front of Ye Ranran¡¯s company. It was now office hours, and the people coming and going were all familiar faces. Ye Ranran looked at the occasionally curious colleagues outside and silently accused Jun Mochan with her eyes. ¡°Madam, is that look a request for me to carry you?¡± Jun Mochan elegantly rolled up his sleeves. ¡°I can do it myself.¡± Ye Ranran unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out of the car as if escaping. She completed a series of actions in one breath. ¡°Hehe.¡± Before closing the door, Ye Ranran heard Jun Mochan¡¯s laughter. ¡°Ranran.¡± A colleague spotted her and walked over. ¡°Good morning.¡± Ye Ranran squeezed out an impeccable smile. Colleague Xiao Zhang glanced in the direction the car was leaving, ¡°Ranran, not bad, you found a new man so quickly?¡± ¡°He seems quite well-off. That car is the latest model, the basic price is at least 2 million.¡± Xiao Liu said. ¡°It¡¯s my brother¡¯s, the car is his friend¡¯s.¡± Ye Ranran firmly lied. ¡°Really?¡± Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu¡¯s faces showed disbelief. Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes were clear and calm, the corner of her lips slightly raised, ¡°I injured my foot and it¡¯s inconvenient to go to work, so my brother gave me a ride. Believe it or not is up to you.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s low-profile style dispelled the jealousy in Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu¡¯s eyes. The understated Ye Ranran had never publicized her identity. On the one hand, she didn¡¯t want to cause trouble, and on the other hand, she didn¡¯t think it was something to be proud of. Ye Mansion was just her nominal home. As for marrying Jun Mochan, it was a choice made out of desperation. She herself didn¡¯t know how long this marriage would last. So, there was really nothing to show off about. She could only rely on herself. ¡°Oh, finally the great designer Ye has come to work.¡± As soon as she stood at the office door, the sarcastic voice sounded. Zhao Yue Li, a designer the company hired a year ago, was mentored by Ye Ranran for a month. During that period, Zhao held a grudge against Ye for criticizing her design, and since then, she had been picking fights with Ye Ranran. Ye Ranran, as if she hadn¡¯t heard, pushed open the door and went in on her own. Seeing Ye Ranran ignore her, Zhao Yue Li felt bored and went to the pantry with her cup. Not long after she sat down, Ye Ranran was called by the director. ¡°Our company has reached a collaboration with S.Z Magazine, but they have a few requirements to make clear to us. Whether your design drafts can pass depends mainly on them.¡± The director spoke sternly. Chapter 14 - 14 014 Ye Ranrans Capabilities_1 ?14: Chapter 014: Ye Ranran¡¯s Capabilities_1 14: Chapter 014: Ye Ranran¡¯s Capabilities_1 Zhao Yue Li dismissively said, ¡°We¡¯re the only two designers in the company, who else are they going to use if not us?¡± Idiotic, Ye Ranran sneered inwardly, yet she managed to maintain her politeness on the surface. ¡°There are countless designers hoping to be featured in S.Z Magazine. If we can¡¯t deliver the design, they will select themselves, then we¡¯ll need to buy their design.¡± The director¡¯s words left Zhao Yue Li unable to keep her composure; a faint urgency passed over her eyes. She wanted to say something, but after looking at Ye Ranran, she closed her mouth again. ¡°Alright, get ready. The editor-in-chief of S.Z Magazine has arranged a meeting with you both this afternoon.¡± Ye Ranran slightly nodded and stepped out of the director¡¯s office, her bright eyes radiating confidence. This was a rare opportunity. If her design were to be featured in S.Z Magazine, she would become a renowned designer. This could take her career to the next level. Therefore, no matter what, she had to seize this opportunity. The editor-in-chief of S.Z Magazine had chosen to meet at a cafe?. The elegant atmosphere and soothing music eased Ye Ranran¡¯s tense nerves a bit. In contrast, Zhao Yue Li held her chin up, her eyes showing arrogance, radiating an air of certitude. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t know where her confidence came from but didn¡¯t bother to ask. Ye Ranran assumed the magazine editor would be a woman, she was completely taken aback when a man with painted nails, heavy makeup, short hair, wearing a suit and pants appeared in front of her. She had a good scare. Fortunately, she was used to hiding her genuine emotions. Even though she was inwardly shocked, what showed on her face was just a slight stiffening of her smile. On the other hand, Zhao Yue Li couldn¡¯t hide her surprise. Her mouth gasped open wide enough to stick an egg in, and her face wore an expression of pure disdain, almost as if the words ¡®effeminate man¡¯ were written across her forehead. ¡°I apologize for my lateness¡±. The man took off his sunglasses and casually put them on the table. Although he was apologizing, there wasn¡¯t a hint of remorse in his tone. Apparently, he was used to making people wait, or perhaps he enjoyed doing so. ¡°No worries, we just arrived ourselves¡±, Ye Ranran responded equitable and calm. Shi Yang couldn¡¯t help but take another look at her. ¡°Your design drafts, please present them to me.¡± Ye Ranran handed over her design, Zhao Yue Li hesitated for a moment, then did the same eventually. Shi Yang casually flipped through, ¡°Both of you should be aware of our magazine¡¯s positioning, right?¡± ¡°Yes, women aged 26 to 30, professional style, catering to white-collar workers¡±, Ye Ranran replied with a confident smile. Zhao Yue Li looked annoyed, but knew this wasn¡¯t the place for a heated discussion. ¡°Hmm, these few designs can make do, but the accessories are too childish, I suggest modifying or removing them.¡± Shi Yang picked up Ye Ranran¡¯s design drafts. ¡°Who says mature women can¡¯t be cute? Who says the professional world has to be stiff?¡± Ye Ranran countered gently. Shi Yang fixed her with a piercing gaze, ¡°Too much cuteness lacks seriousness, professionalism demands rigor, your clothing should reflect that. You wouldn¡¯t wear a holiday dress to work, would you, Designer Ye?¡± ¡°But too much seriousness is just dull, a touch of playfulness doesn¡¯t compromise professionalism, it adds a pleasant surprise.¡± ¡°From what I understand, S.Z Magazine¡¯s subscriptions have been steadily decreasing over the past couple of years. Hasn¡¯t the editor-in-chief considered the cause of this?¡± Ye Ranran met Shi Yang¡¯s stare. Shi Yang¡¯s complexion turned slightly unsightly, his gaze somewhat cold. That¡¯s right, if it hadn¡¯t been for this situation, he wouldn¡¯t have approached Ye Ranran¡¯s company. But how did she know about this secret? Chapter 15 - 15 015 Timely Appearance of Jun Mochan_1 ?15: Chapter 015: Timely Appearance of Jun Mochan_1 15: Chapter 015: Timely Appearance of Jun Mochan_1 ¡°In recent years, S.Z Magazine¡¯s competitor, Young, has risen rapidly. Hasn¡¯t our editor-in-chief ever wondered why?¡± Compared with S.Z¡¯s old-fashioned conservatism, Young is much more progressive and international, so it naturally appeals to the current mindset. ¡°The majority of the old generation of professionals have stepped back, and now the stage is taken by a new dynamic group of young people. With time, they have become more mature and stable, yet, compared to the older generation, they still possess youthful hearts.¡± Ye Ranran picked up her design draft: ¡°So in my designs, I adopt a professional style to show that they have grown up and can stand on their own. However, for accessories, I choose playful ones, representing their youthfulness, vitality, and their up-to-date fashion sense.¡± Just because you are older, doesn¡¯t mean you have to wear black, gray or navy blue. You can still look fabulous. ¡°Well said,¡± Shi Yang praised her, ¡°But your accessories really don¡¯t hold up to the standard. I suggest you revise them. As for these other pieces...¡± Shi Yang picked them up and flung them onto the table: ¡°Unacceptable. Redraw them. If you still produce this level of work, I suggest not coming back.¡± After saying this, Shi Yang picked up the sunglasses on the table: ¡°I have other matters to attend to, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± Zhao Yue Li¡¯s face turned a mix of green and red. She glared hard at Ye Ranran before indignantly grabbed her design drafts and left. Ye Ranran felt good, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to dwell on it. She picked up the drafts from the table and considering that it was nearly time to clock out, she gave up on the idea of returning to the office. She pulled out a notebook from her bag, intending to research current accessory trends, when a familiar voice came from behind her: ¡°Han, let¡¯s sit over there.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s hand couldn¡¯t move at all, even her back involuntarily stiffened. After all, she was no stone; despite accepting reality and reminding herself to move on, she still couldn¡¯t face him calmly. After calming her emotions, Ye Ranran continued to take out her notebook. ¡°Sis.¡± When Ye Tianjio turned around and saw Ye Ranran sitting nearby, he immediately ran toward her. Just as Ye Ranran was about to open her laptop, Ye Tianjio¡¯s call made her silently pack it up again. ¡°Madam.¡± Ah Chuan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded behind them. ¡°The president is over there, he asked me to bring you to him.¡± Never had she felt Ah Chuan¡¯s timing was so perfect. Ye Ranran got up with Ah Chuan¡¯s help and picked up her bag: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Han, did I hear something wrong just now?¡± Ye Tianjio looked at Ye Ranran¡¯s retreating figure with a strange expression. Gao Han also looked troubled; the person who just called Ye Ranran wasn¡¯t a stranger to him. It was Jun Mochan¡¯s right-hand man: Ah Chuan. He had clashed with Jun Mochan a few times, and he was tough. Why was Ye Ranran with him? Outside the cafe, a Mercedes was parked. While Ye Ranran was looking for the car, Ah Chuan was already leading her to it. In the car, Jun Mochan was on the phone, talking about stocks and financing or something. He hung up after Ah Chuan started the car. ¡°Did you run into any trouble?¡± Concern flashed in Jun Mochan¡¯s deep eyes. Ye Ranran knew that he must have seen Ye Tianjio, which was why he deliberately sent Ah Chuan to her. ¡°No, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°I was passing by and saw you.¡± Ye Ranran obviously did not believe Jun Mochan¡¯s words. Coincidentally, Gao Han and Ye Tianjiao also happened to be there. She knew he must have had a reason to be there, but if he didn¡¯t talk about it, she wouldn¡¯t ask. Chapter 16 - 16 016 Wedding Ring_1 ?16: Chapter 016: Wedding Ring_1 16: Chapter 016: Wedding Ring_1 ¡°This doesn¡¯t seem like the way home, does it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m taking you to a place.¡± Ye Ranran immediately quieted down, Jun Mochan thought she would ask, but he didn¡¯t expect her to be so patient. ¡°Did anything happen today?¡± ¡°Nothing happened, I just ran into two people I didn¡¯t want to see. It¡¯s better not to talk about it.¡± A dark light flashed deep in Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes. Jun Mochan lowered his head and signed the last document, ¡°Today is the final day of bidding for that piece of land. There was a problem with the Xie family, and Ye family lacked funds. Solely relying on the Gao Group, we couldn¡¯t secure it.¡± Is this why the Ye family needed to ally with the Xie family? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, for some time now, you probably won¡¯t have to see them again.¡± Jun Mochan said, his tone unfazed. ¡°What have you done?¡± Ye Ranran looked at the smirk at the corner of his mouth. This man is always so gentle and elegant, yet it gives people a profoundness that is beyond comprehension. ¡°Is the madam going to blame me, or reward me?¡± Jun Mochan lowered his brow, and his aura instantly enveloped Ye Ranran. Ye Ranran¡¯s heart pounded heavily, she was unsure whether it was due to affection or fear. ¡°Just asking.¡± Ye Ranran moved back, sitting upright and proper. The car, just happened to stop at that moment. ¡°Boss, we¡¯re here.¡± Ah Chuan got out of the car and proficiently opened the door. Jun Mochan walked around to the other side and extended his hand to Ye Ranran inside the car. Looking at the large hand in front of her, Ye Ranran hesitated for a while, but eventually laid her hand on his. Although she doesn¡¯t understand him right now, and she¡¯s not even used to him, he treats her well, so she has to learn to adapt to him, and be a good wife. ¡°Can you walk?¡± Jun Mochan gazed at Ye Ranran¡¯s feet, his tone gentle. His tone would make anyone involuntarily indulge in it. Ye Ranran half leaned into his arms, raised her head, and smiled brightly, ¡°Of course I can walk. I would never let you carry me in the middle of the street, how embarrassing.¡± Her tone was half serious, half coquettish, which made Jun Mochan grin and lightly touched her nose, ¡°Others would be envious.¡± ¡°Yes, envious of me for having a handsome and rich husband.¡± Hand in hand, the pair went into the store. Ye Ranran was 165 cm tall, not considered short, but standing in front of the 180 cm tall Jun Mochan she still appeared petite. The vibrant and beautiful woman, and the noble and gracious man, the two standing together made a pleasing picture. As soon as they walked in, the store manager came forward to greet them, ¡°President, Madam.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Jun Mochan gave a light response, his demeanor was not as gentle as when he faced Ye Ranran. He helped Ye Ranran to sit down on the sofa, ¡°Did they prepare the stuff I asked?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s all here.¡± The store manager brought a thick book over. Jun Mochan reached out and received it, sat next to Ye Ranran, and opened the first page, ¡°Check it out, whatever you like, I can order a custom-made one for you.¡± ¡°I thought you would make the choice and put them on me directly.¡± Ye Ranran leaned over to look. To say that she was not looking forward to it would be a lie. Women are always vulnerable to these things, let alone Jun Mochan¡¯s sincerity. It was enough to make any woman delighted. ¡°I thought about it, but considering the superior taste of Designer Ye, I think you should choose on your own.¡± She knew it, this man was indeed overbearing, Ye Ranran glanced at him. ¡°Do you stock all of these in your store?¡± Ye Ranran asked. The store manager quickly replied, ¡°These are the private designs of Master Bai Lisha, ordinary people can¡¯t see them. The styles mentioned here aren¡¯t available on the market. After ordering, we can arrange for a custom-made piece for you.¡± Chapter 17 - 17 017 Bound to Satisfy Her_1 ?17: Chapter 017: Bound to Satisfy Her_1 17: Chapter 017: Bound to Satisfy Her_1 ¡°Don¡¯t the samples exist?¡± Ye Ranran was a bit disappointed. She naturally knew of Master Bai Lisha, an internationally acclaimed wedding ring designer. The ones privileged to wear the rings she designed were either wealthy or noble. Even so, one had to place a custom order half a year in advance. Now this store surprisingly contains her private designs; just what credentials did it have? ¡°This is a luxury jewelry store under my name. I¡¯ve hired Bai Lisha as a special designer at a high salary,¡± Jun Mochan explained, seeing through Ye Ranran¡¯s confusion. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know this?¡± Ye Ranran was shocked at the news. What irritated her even more was that she was also part of this circle. Why was she totally unaware of this news? ¡°That¡¯s because we only inform some special customers about it.¡± The implication was ¨C she didn¡¯t quite qualify. Well, if anyone could place a custom order, it wouldn¡¯t be treasured anymore. ¡°You¡¯d never visited here before.¡± If she had come to ask, and truly needed something, the store clerk would certainly recommend it to her. True, she had been with Gao Han before, and Gao Han was a rival to Mo Han. How could she step into a shop under his name? Ye Ranran felt disheartened for a moment, but quickly perked up: ¡°Let¡¯s not discuss this. Let me look first. I must pick one, the most expensive, most unique one.¡± Looking at Ye Ranran¡¯s determined radiant smile, Jun Mochan pinched her face, ¡°Take your time. If you¡¯re not satisfied, you can tell her your requirements, get her to communicate with Bai Lisha, even meet her if necessary.¡± Either way, he would ensure her satisfaction. Ye Ranran lowered her head to select. Jun Mochan watched her unblinkingly, humor evident in his eyes ¨C it looked as if he was genuinely head over heels in love with her. Ye Ranran spent quite a while choosing, and finally settled on one. After measuring the size, Jun Mochan discussed some cautionary points with the store manager before they left. Back home, Ye Ranran sat in front of her computer, looking up various kinds of accessories. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Jun Mochan stood behind her. Ye Ranran scrolling with the mouse: ¡°The chief editor of S.Z Magazine said there¡¯s an issue with my design, mainly with the accessories. I am checking to see what accessory would suit best.¡± ¡°Snap.¡± Jun Mochan closed the laptop. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Ye Ranran lifted her head abruptly, glaring at him. Jun Mochan pointed at the wall clock: ¡°It¡¯s too late, go to sleep.¡± ¡°But...¡± ¡°J.C is hosting an internal product showcase tomorrow. If you¡¯re free, I can take you to see it.¡± Internal product showcases were confidential because they were usually for showing new products to shareholders and agents before the actual launch. After deciding on the best-selling and major items, only then would a new product launch be held to schedule the market launch. And was Jun Mochan saying that he would take her? ¡°You¡¯re my wife. What¡¯s wrong with taking you?¡± Seeing her disbelief, Jun Mochan couldn¡¯t help but laugh a bit. Before Ye Ranran had the chance to regain her senses, Jun Mochan scooped her up and onto the bed, ¡°But first, you have to take leave.¡± ¡°Okay, I will call now to take the day off.¡± Ye Ranran enthusiastically reached for her phone. She suddenly realized that she was in Jun Mochan¡¯s arms, and he was smirking at her. ¡°You jerk, put me down.¡± Junchan earnestly put her down. Ye Ranran seized the chance to bolt to the side of the bed and grabbed her phone. Just as she was about to dial, a hand swiftly snatched her phone away. Chapter 18 - 18 018 Touched Everywhere_1 ?18: Chapter 018: Touched Everywhere_1 18: Chapter 018: Touched Everywhere_1 ¡°What do you think you are doing?¡± Ye Ranran hugged Jun Mochan¡¯s waist with one arm and tried to snatch his phone from his hand with the other. She did not realize just how naturally she had moved. With a carefree flick of the wrist, Jun Mochan tossed the phone onto a nearby lounge chair. He took advantage of the motion and embraced Ye Ranran, ¡°Like I said before, feel free to ask for a day off work tomorrow.¡± Just as Ye Ranran was about to protest, Jun Mochan silenced her with a kiss. Once their lips parted, Ye Ranran had completely forgotten what she wanted to say. The next day, upon waking up and seeing an unbothered Jun Mochan, she abruptly threw a pillow at him. ¡°Morning grumps?¡± Jun Mochan caught the pillow and set it aside. Given her foot injury, he naturally wouldn¡¯t do anything further. However, the jerk practically swept his hands all over her body while kissing her last night. Once the kiss came to an end, she felt light-headed and dozed off shortly after. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault,¡± accused Ye Ranran. Jun Mochan nodded, accepting Ye Ranran¡¯s accusation, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s all my fault. But, my dear, it¡¯s getting late. Shouldn¡¯t you ask for a leave now?¡± ¡°Right.¡± Ye Ranran hurriedly tried to get out of bed and fetch her cell phone. Seeing this, Jun Mochan promptly steadied her, ¡°What¡¯s the rush?¡± Shooting him a glare, Ye Ranran grabbed her phone and switched it on without replying. ¡°Nobody is answering the phone.¡± Ye Ranran muttered, and dialed another number. ¡°Ranran?¡± ¡°Xiao Zhang, I have something to do today so I can¡¯t come to work. Could you please request a day off for me?¡± After hanging up, Ye Ranran waved her phone triumphantly at Jun Mochan, raising a cocky eyebrow: ¡°Done.¡± ¡°Hmm. You still have half an hour. If you are late, you¡¯ll miss it.¡± ¡°You bastard, tricking me again.¡± ... She came out wearing a thigh-length blue dress with lotus leaf trims, and a white V-neck blouse, which accentuated her femininity. Jun Mochan fixated on her exposed creamy skin, furrowing his brows so tightly that he looked like he could crush a fly. ¡°You have two minutes to go change.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my outfit?¡± Ye Ranran objected. He was actually criticizing her clothes now. How bossy! ¡°If you don¡¯t change, you¡¯re not leaving.¡± Jun Mochan answered with a faint smile, a finality in his tone that wasn¡¯t to be mistaken. He meant it. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll change right now.¡± Ye Ranran hurriedly swapped her outfit. This time, she was dressed in a skirt slightly above her thighs and a large white T-shirt. Jun Mochan gave her a once-over and nodded approvingly. He went to the closet, got a pair of white loafers, and presented them to her, ¡°Put these on.¡± ¡°Jun Mochan, you¡¯re doing this on purpose!¡± Ye Ranran scorned through grit teeth. ¡°You have thirty seconds left.¡± Ye Ranran hastily put on her clothes, then clung onto him, ¡°Done, I am dressed. Let¡¯s hurry down.¡± She was not putting on airs, but her injured foot hadn¡¯t fully healed, and she knew she would move faster in Jun Mochan¡¯s arms than on her own feet. After breakfast, just like the previous day, Jun Mochan carried Ye Ranran to the car, ¡°Go-to the hospital once you¡¯re done, for a check-up.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s almost healed.¡± Ye Ranran gently moved her foot. Jun Mochan remained silent, just gently tucking a stray lock of her hair behind her ear. His tender gesture made Ye Ranran feel a bit uncomfortable, yet she did not resist. ¡°Where is Ah Chuan?¡± Seeing an unfamiliar person driving, Ye Ranran instinctively asked. To cover her embarrassment, she used this topic as a pretext. Chapter 19 - 19 019 Theres Still A Wedding_1 ?19: Chapter 019: There¡¯s Still A Wedding_1 19: Chapter 019: There¡¯s Still A Wedding_1 Jun Mochan noticed that this petite woman would always instinctively find a topic to converse about when embarrassed. ¡°Waiting at the company.¡± As expected, just as the car arrived at the company, Ah Chuan came to open the car door: ¡°Mr. President, and madam.¡± ¡°Hmm, postpone the presentation, I don¡¯t want to be disturbed.¡± She didn¡¯t want to make it public. Ye Ranran stepped down from the car following Jun Mochan¡¯s hand and heard his instructions to Ah Chuan, which led her to purse her lips. ¡°After meeting them, you will have no peaceful days. If you want, I can arrange it.¡± Is this an explanation? Ye Ranran was a bit stunned, but she still shook her head: ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Hmm, you can enjoy some peace for a while until the wedding is over. After that, you can¡¯t avoid it.¡± Wedding? Ye Ranran was slightly surprised, ¡°There is still a wedding?¡± ¡°Does the madam think that just getting a certificate is enough?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s face immediately darkened. Ye Ranran¡¯s lips moved a bit, but in the end, she said nothing. ¡°Let¡¯s go, the presentation has started.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s big hand rested on her waist, leading her forward. Ye Ranran leaned into his embrace. Feeling her movement, the gloom on Jun Mochan¡¯s face faded a lot. Ye Ranran imagined the showroom with merchandise displayed on shelves and in window displays for people to browse. However, when she arrived at the scene, she found that it was not the case at all. This is not a presentation, it¡¯s a complete show. In the showroom, which could accommodate a thousand people, only Jun Mochan and Ye Ranran were present. Ah Chuan guarded the entrance against any unwelcome interruptions to Jun Mochan¡¯s plan. As soon as they sat down, the music started, and the models came out from inside, with text descriptions and large product images appearing on the big screen. Ye Ranran watched intently, occasionally taking out her own design to make modifications. She sat like that for the morning. ¡°All right, finally finished.¡± Ye Ranran collected her design draft, smiling from ear to ear. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be so prompt. Thank you.¡± ¡°A simple thank you isn¡¯t enough.¡± Jun Mochan eyed her full, rosy lips, his tone filled with deep implications. Ye Ranran met his gaze, slowly leaned in, and kissed him on the cheek, ¡°There, thank you, my dear.¡± Jun Mochan scooped her into his arms, Ye Ranran shrieking in surprise: ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Taking you out for lunch, what else could it be?¡± Jun Mochan looked at her teasingly. Ye Ranran blushed, jumping out from his arms: ¡°Well, of course, we¡¯re going for lunch! What else could it be?¡± After lunch, Jun Mochan took Ye Ranran to his office. As it was lunchtime, their quiet figures went unnoticed by many. ¡°I have a meeting in a while, wait for me in my office. If you want to go somewhere, let the secretary take you.¡± ¡°Or should I go home...?¡± Jun Mochan interrupted her: ¡°Best if you wait here. I worry when you¡¯re alone at home.¡± Before he left, Jun Mochan kissed Ye Ranran. Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± He was so domineering. Out of desperation, Ye Ranran could only sit at Jun Mochan¡¯s office desk and draw up design drafts. Just as she finished drawing the hemline, the phone beside her rang. Without hesitation, Ye Ranran picked up the call. ¡°I¡¯ve found out some interesting stuff, do you want to hear?¡± Before Ye Ranran could even speak, the person on the other end of the line blurted out eagerly. Chapter 20 - 20 020 Jun Mochans Methods_1 ?20: Chapter 020: Jun Mochan¡¯s Methods_1 20: Chapter 020: Jun Mochan¡¯s Methods_1 ¡°The procurement department in Xie¡¯s Corporation has always been managed by Xie Yuan¡¯s uncle, who is notorious for his lascivious and gambling habits. He often accepts kickbacks and especially uses un-fresh ingredients, sometimes even expired ones. With Xie Yuan recently entangled in an affair with a minor celebrity, if this is exposed, Xie¡¯s shares will undoubtedly plunge once more.¡± ¡°Xie¡¯s Corporation is planning on public funding and listing on the stock market next year. If this scandal breaks out, I doubt anyone would still be willing to invest.¡± ¡°Next, we need to figure out how to get the original shareholders to withdraw their capital.¡± ¡°Hey, I¡¯ve done all this hard work, doing such a big favor for you. How are you going to thank me?¡± On the other end of the line, a barrage of words were being spilled out. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t even have a chance to interject. Although she knew about the situation at Xie¡¯s being orchestrated by Jun Mochan, when she heard it firsthand, her heart was still greatly shaken. ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Ranran asked, her face showing confusion but her tone was extraordinarily calm. ¡°What the hell, who are you? How did you get into Jun Mochan¡¯s office?¡± The voice yelled from the other side. Ye Ranran slightly moved the phone away from her ear, ¡°I¡¯m Ye Ranran, Jun Mochan is out.¡± ¡°Ye Ranran? He actually got you? He didn¡¯t even tell me about such a big thing. That¡¯s not cool. I¡¯m Zhou Xian, Jun Mochan¡¯s good friend. Since he¡¯s not here, I¡¯ll just call back next time.¡± Ye Ranran was about to ask something, but the call had already been hung up on the other end. He got her? What did that mean? Could it be that Jun Mochan had already met her? Was he in love with her? Soon, Ye Ranran dismissed this thought, how would that be possible? He was on a pedestal, and she was just an ordinary person. She couldn¡¯t possibly make him fall in love early on. Marrying her, on one hand, could be out of pity, but it was more because he needed a wife. Didn¡¯t he say that himself? When Jun Mochan returned from his meeting, he found Ye Ranran lost in thought. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± At his sudden voice, Ye Ranran lifted her head, witness to Jun Mochan¡¯s handsome face enlarged before her. ¡°A self-proclaimed friend of yours called. He said his name is Zhou Xian and he shared with me some things that you asked him to do.¡± Slight ripples appeared in Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes, ¡°What did he say?¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t need to do all this for my sake, I...¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the Ye Family want to use you to climb higher? All I¡¯m doing now is showing them how wrong they were,¡± Jun Mochan replied, his tone frosty. Despite his gentle demeanor, he couldn¡¯t hide his increasingly icy aura. Just as Ye Ranran felt crushed by the overwhelming pressure, Jun Mochan returned to his usual gentlemanly demeanor, ¡°Hungry? Let me take you to dinner.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry, I still have some designs to draw. It¡¯s still early, you should continue with your work,¡± Ye Ranran glanced at the files in his hand. Looking at the time, Jun Mochan noted it was time to leave, but it would be inconvenient to do so now. The office was soon filled with the sound of rustling papers. After some time spent drawing, Ye Ranran lifted her head to see Jun Mochan absorbed in the files in his hand, his expression focused. Thinking of his deep, yet tender gaze, Ye Ranran felt her face heat up. Whoever was targeted by such a gaze would find it hard to resist, eventually giving in. As Jun Mochan finished reviewing a file and was about to look up, Ye Ranran swiftly lowered her head. Watching Ye Ranran engrossed in her design, a smile lurked underneath Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes. His originally tightened features softened. When the clock struck six, Jun Mochan left the office with Ye Ranran. Chapter 21 - 21 021 Cannot _1 ?21: Chapter 021: Cannot _1 21: Chapter 021: Cannot _1 ¡°Going home?¡± Ye Ranran asked, looking outside. ¡°Let¡¯s eat outside, and after that, I¡¯ll take you to a place.¡± After dinner, Jun Mochan took Ye Ranran to a bridal shop. Choosing wedding rings just the night before had been a surprise. She did not expect that shortly after mentioning they would hold a wedding ceremony this morning, he would take her to choose a wedding dress. Isn¡¯t this moving too fast? ¡°Bridal dresses also need to be tailored, which requires a six-month period.¡± As if seeing through Ye Ranran¡¯s apprehensions, Jun Mochan casually responded. Was he saying this to give her time to adjust? ¡°Yes, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Ye Ranran tightly held Jun Mochan¡¯s hand. Seeing her smile, Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes filled with tenderness. ¡°I¡¯m also looking forward to it.¡± An elegant gentleman and a bright young girl had just appeared, and the store manager and clerk were already standing at the entrance to welcome them. ¡°Mr. President, Madam,¡± The store manager welcomed them. Before closing the door, they hung a ¡®Closed for Business¡¯ sign. ¡°Madam has a great figure, any wedding dress will look good on her.¡± Before handing the catalog to Ye Ranran, the store manager didn¡¯t forget to flatter her. Jun Mochan nodded. ¡°Yes, she indeed does.¡± Ye Ranran, who was initially happy, felt a bit annoyed. ¡°Jun Mochan, what are you talking about?¡± ¡°Did I say something wrong, Madam?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s words were suggestive. Ye Ranran blushed and buried her head in the catalog. Seeing the playful smile on Jun Mochan¡¯s face, the tenderness in his eyes, the clerk by the side looked infatuated. Who said it was unapproachable to be with the president? Who said it was difficult to deal with the president? ¡°How about this one?¡± Ye Ranran quickly picked out a white wedding dress with layers of cascading skirts that looked very elegant. Strapless dress, Jun Mochan immediately refused, ¡°Don¡¯t we have any dresses that don¡¯t reveal the chest or shoulders?¡± ¡°Jun Mochan, all wedding dresses are strapless.¡± ¡°Some expose the legs.¡± The store manager smiled and flipped the catalog. The dresses on the page had lace tops and short skirts that covered a bit below the buttocks, Jun Mochan immediately refused, ¡°No, the skirt is too short, and it¡¯s ugly.¡± ¡°There are v-neck options.¡± The store manager¡¯s smile became a bit strained. Looking at the neckline that opened to the waist, Jun Mochan¡¯s face turned colder. ¡°I think this one is quite nice, didn¡¯t you say I have a good figure?¡± ¡°I know it already.¡± Jun Mochan glanced at her, ¡°Only I can look at you.¡± ¡°But...¡± ¡°No buts, there¡¯s nothing good here, let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Mochan closed the catalog and directly carried Ye Ranran. Ye Ranran instinctively hooked his neck, ¡°I can walk by myself. Also, didn¡¯t you say we¡¯re going to see the doctor tonight?¡± ¡°We are going now.¡± It turned out that Jun Mochan had booked an orthopedic specialist for her. The specialist had a surgery in the afternoon and would only be free in the evening. Not being able to choose a wedding dress left Ye Ranran a bit disappointed. However, hearing the specialist say that her leg was almost healed and she would be able to walk normally in a few days made her instantly happy again. ¡°Just remember, you can¡¯t wear high heels or walk for too long,¡± warned the specialist. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll prescribe you some more medicine, apply it for a couple more days. If something comes up, come back again.¡± The specialist stopped writing, tore off the paper, and handed it over. Ah Chuan took the prescription and followed the nurse to the pharmacy. ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Ye Ranran was very obedient. The specialist pocketed the booklet and left after glancing at Ye Ranran a few more times. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go,¡± Jun Mochan helped Ye Ranran up. The specialist¡¯s medicine was very effective. Ye Ranran rested for two more days, and as expected, she was fully recovered, just as the deadline for submitting her draft arrived. Ye Ranran hadn¡¯t even arrived at the company before the director called her. Chapter 22 - 22 022 Being Framed_1 ?22: Chapter 022: Being Framed_1 22: Chapter 022: Being Framed_1 ¡°I¡¯m on my way,¡± Ye Ranran said obediently. Seeing her trying to please him, Jun Mochan was a bit annoyed, ¡°Whose call was that?¡± She had never behaved like this with him before. ¡°It¡¯s the director¡¯s,¡± Ye Ranran moistened her lips, ¡°I had taken some time off these past two days and it seems to have upset him.¡± ¡°If he¡¯s giving you a hard time, you can quit.¡± ¡°Are you going to support me?¡± Ye Ranran rolled her eyes. Jun Mochan thought this idea was excellent. He nodded and said earnestly: ¡°I can do that, my arms are always open to embrace my wife.¡± What did this have to do with his embrace, and why would she throw herself into his arms? ¡°Okay, I¡¯m here,¡± Ye Ranran grabbed her bag, unfastened her seatbelt, and quickly exited the car. It was not clear if she was shy or trying to escape. Watching Ye Ranran¡¯s retreating figure, a charming smile hung on Jun Mochan¡¯s lips. His elegant confidence spoke of certainty in success. Sooner or later, he would make Ye Ranran fall in love with him. As soon as she reached the office, Ye Ranran¡¯s phone rang. Before she could even speak, the director had already sent someone to pass on a message to her. He wanted her to come to his office. ¡°I¡¯m here,¡± Ye Ranran put her phone in her pocket and knocked on the director¡¯s office door. Of course, not forgetting to bring the design drafts with her. ¡°Director, I¡¯ve completed the design draft, please take a look,¡± Ye Ranran said, putting the design draft on the desk and pushing it towards the director. The director glanced at it, placed the draft under his arm, and said sternly: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you inform me about your leave? If it were not for Xiao Zhang, I wouldn¡¯t have known you were on leave.¡± Hadn¡¯t she asked Xiao Zhang to apply for her leave? Before Ye Ranran had a chance to retort, the director continued, ¡°Also, I asked you to communicate with the chief editor of S.Z Magazine, not to argue with them.¡± ¡°No, I....¡± ¡°So, you have the audacity to argue? Anyway, they¡¯ve already called to complain about you. You need to write up a self-reflection report right away.¡± After this scolding, Ye Ranran hardly had a chance to speak. Fortunately, she had experienced such incidents before and didn¡¯t take it to heart. A self-reflection report is nothing, she thought. She could just find one online, change the name and date, and be done with it. Jun Mochan, holding his phone, his eyes devoid of a smile, was, seemingly, lost in drifting snowflakes. Ah Chuan, who had been standing by his side for quite a while, knew he was on the verge of anger. ¡°Investigate the background of all the staff in my wife¡¯s company,¡± Jun Mochan stepped out of the car. The icy Jun Mochan pushed people away, so as he entered the office, everyone greeted him from a distance, no one daring to approach him. Ah Chuan quietly trailed behind, rubbing his nose, the boss really did care about his wife. When Ye Ranran returned to her office and finished writing her self-reflection, she suddenly remembered the phone call she had not answered. She quickly took out her phone and when she saw the caller ID showing ¡°Husband¡±. She almost dropped her phone in surprise. ¡°Jun Mochan?¡± Ye Ranran tentatively called out. ¡°Finished with your self-reflection?¡± He had obviously heard everything. Frustrated, Ye Ranran had the urge to bang her head against the wall, but since the wall was too far, she bumped her head on the table instead. ¡°Stop banging your head, you¡¯re already dumb enough. If you hit your head any more, you¡¯ll become completely stupid.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the stupid one; your entire family is stupid!¡± ¡°Ha ha.¡± Even though she couldn¡¯t see him, Ye Ranran could imagine how infuriatingly smug Jun Mochan¡¯s smile must be. ¡°You are part of ¡®my entire family¡¯ too,¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s voice came over the phone, just as Ye Ranran was about to hang up. Chapter 23 - 23 023 Leave Work Together_1 ?23: Chapter 023: Leave Work Together_1 23: Chapter 023: Leave Work Together_1 ¡°My entire family includes you too.¡± Just as Ye Ranran was about to hang up the phone, Jun Mochan¡¯s voice again came through the line. Ye Ranran felt like she had shot herself in the foot. She irritably asked, ¡°What do you want to talk about on the phone?¡± They had just parted; he couldn¡¯t be wanting to say he missed her already. ¡°Can¡¯t I call you even if I have nothing important to say, Madam?¡± Jun Mochan emphasized the word ¡®Madam¡¯. He reminded her not to forget who she was. ¡°You left your wallet at my place, I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡± Before Ye Ranran could yell at him, Jun Mochan quickly said. ¡°I have reached my office now.¡± Listening to the dial tone, Ye Ranran lifted her lips. How could her wallet be in the car? After thinking about it, when she was in the car, her phone rang once. She must have dropped her wallet while answering the call. ¡°Really...¡± Ye Ranran covered her face. The most embarrassing moments always seemed to happen in front of Jun Mochan. ¡°Ranran.¡± Ye Ranran immediately lowered her hand. Looking at Xiao Zhang, who quietly entered her office without her noticing, she asked coldly, ¡°What can I do for you?¡± She won¡¯t go blaming her for not helping her ask for leave, but she couldn¡¯t be pleasent about it either. If someone hit her left cheek, she couldn¡¯t possibly offer up her right one as well, right? ¡°Did the director admonish you?¡± Xiao Zhang asked cautiously. ¡°Just say what you want to say.¡± ¡°You were on leave during the meeting. After the meeting, Zhao Yue Li asked why you weren¡¯t there. Then the director went to your office, found it empty, and asked about it, so I told him.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t look very happy at the time, so I knew you¡¯d be scolded.¡± After knowing the full story, Ye Ranran didn¡¯t feel so aggrieved. ¡°Ranran, be careful. These are all petty tactics. I¡¯m worried that she might tamper with your design draft.¡± Xiao Zhang got closer to Ye Ranran, and whispered a reminder. ¡°Mhm, I will be careful, thank you.¡± Ye Ranran nodded, but her tone was quite indifferent. In her view, although Zhao Yue Li liked to play mind games, she was someone with pride and wouldn¡¯t stoop to copying someone else¡¯s work. Seeing Ye Ranran acting so obtuse, Xiao Zhang sighed, shook her head and walked away. After handing in her self-reflection, Ye Ranran felt relaxed and was about to check some fashion news, when Wang Zhebin from the Visual Department walked over hesitantly. The Design Department often worked closely with the Visual Department, so Ye Ranran often interacted with Wang Zhebin. ¡°Wang, what¡¯s up?¡± Ye Ranran initiated the conversation. ¡°Today is my birthday, I¡¯d like to invite my colleagues for a meal and some singing, would you like to come Ranran?¡± Wang Zhebin asked nervously. Just as Ye Ranran was about to refuse, Wang Zhebin said again: ¡°You also didn¡¯t come last time, you cannot refuse again this time.¡± The words that were on her lips were stopped, and Ye Ranran could only nod her head: ¡°Alright.¡± Seeing her nod, Wang Zhebin finally smiled: ¡°Then let¡¯s go together after work.¡± Watching Wang Zhebin¡¯s retreating figure, Ye Ranran turned around to call Jun Mochan. Jun Mochan was looking at the structure of Ye Ranran¡¯s company. Seeing her call, he raises an eyebrow and picked up the phone without hesitation. ¡°Wife, do you miss me?¡± He said the word ¡®wife¡¯ so naturally, Ye Ranran¡¯s ears turned a little red. ¡°It¡¯s a colleague¡¯s birthday tonight, you don¡¯t have to pick me up.¡± ¡°Whose birthday?¡± Jun Mochan looked at a name on the paper. Beside it, there was a little note: Secretly in love with Ye Ranran. ¡°A colleague from the Visual Department, I didn¡¯t go last time, I can¡¯t refuse again this time.¡± It seemed like she was afraid Jun Mochan would be angry, so Ye Ranran quickly explained. Chapter 24 - 24 024 Accidental Encounter with Ye Tianjiao_1 ?24: Chapter 024: Accidental Encounter with Ye Tianjiao_1 24: Chapter 024: Accidental Encounter with Ye Tianjiao_1 ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Not sure yet, why do you ask?¡± ¡°Send me the address tonight. I happen to have an appointment too. I¡¯ll choose a restaurant close to you, so we can go home together afterwards.¡± The consideration of Jun Mochan made Ye Ranran feel warm inside. This man was keeping his promises. He was serious about their marriage, and about her. This feeling of happiness lasted until they had dinner after work. Wang Zhebin had booked a music-themed restaurant, with melodious music, a clean and comfortable environment, which coupled with her good mood, kept a gentle smile on Ye Ranran¡¯s face. However, this smile froze when she saw the man and woman walking in hand in hand. ¡°Sister.¡± Seeing Ye Ranran, Ye Tianjiao immediately came over. Not many colleagues attended the wedding, but it was enough to spread the news throughout the company. The power of gossip was always strong. The crowd quieted down instantly, their eyes lingered on Ye Ranran and Ye Tianjiao, some excited for the drama, others worried. Ye Ranran¡¯s smile faded a little, but her face remained calm. Her heart still ached, but it was no longer the heart-wrenching pain of before. ¡°Mm.¡± Ye Ranran replied indifferently, conceding. ¡°What¡¯s the occasion? So many people gathered here for a celebration?¡± Ye Tianjiao ignored Ye Ranran¡¯s cold attitude, and asked with a sweet smile on her face. Unlike Ye Ranran¡¯s bright beauty, Ye Tianjiao had an oval face, large eyes, light makeup, and had a doll-like complexion. Dressed in a white strapless mermaid dress, she looked like a fairy. In Ye Tianjiao, there was no trace of assertiveness, she was gentle and weak, stirring feelings of affection towards her. Probably every man would like her type. Everyone present knew about the grievances between Ye Ranran and Ye Tianjiao. When Ye Ranran didn¡¯t speak, naturally no one else paid attention to Ye Tianjiao. Ye Tianjiao bit her lip cap, looking at Ye Ranran with a sense of grievance. ¡°Ranran, Tianjiao is trying to talk to you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I need to go to the bathroom.¡± Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to argue with Ye Tianjiao, nor did she want to deal with her, so she made an excuse to leave. Ye Tianjiao followed swiftly, her high heels tapping against the floor, making a tattering noise. ¡°Sister.¡± Ye Tianjiao took two steps forward, obstructing Ye Ranran¡¯s path. ¡°Move.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s face went cold. Ye Tianjiao seemed oblivious to Ye Ranran¡¯s anger. She reached out to hold her hand and asked, ¡°Where have you been staying these past few days? Are you still mad at me?¡± Ye Ranran shook off her hand to avoid Ye Tianjiao¡¯s touch. Ye Tianjiao lost her balance and fell back. She stumbled against a table before finally sitting down on the ground. Ye Tianjiao covered her belly and her face immediately turned pale. Ye Ranran was stunned, and before she could react, a man pushed her aside and picked up Ye Tianjiao from the ground. ¡°Ye Ranran, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so cruel.¡± Gao Han stared at her with a fierce glare, more ferocious than a beast, as if he could tear her apart at any moment. Colleagues who heard the commotion ran over and pointed at Ye Ranran. ¡°I didn¡¯t even touch her, I didn¡¯t push her.¡± Ye Ranran instinctively defended herself. ¡°Are you saying I¡¯m blind?¡± Gao Han lifted Ye Tianjiao from the ground. Just as he was about to leave, a cool voice passed through the crowd, ¡°Yes, you¡¯re indeed blind.¡± One man pushed through the crowd, came to Ye Ranran¡¯s side, and pulled her into his arms. If it wasn¡¯t Jun Mochan, then who could it be? Seeing him, Ye Ranran felt like she had found a source of support and unconsciously cuddled into his arms. Chapter 25 - 25 025 Everything Has Him_1 ?25: Chapter 025: Everything Has Him_1 25: Chapter 025: Everything Has Him_1 Gao Han¡¯s gaze was icily murderous. ¡°Ye Ranran, I never would have guessed that you were so scheming.¡± ¡°I was the one who pursued her,¡± Jun Mochan said, holding Ye Ranran tightly. ¡°I¡¯m not like some, blind to the truth, mistaking gravel for pearls.¡± ¡°Han, don¡¯t say anymore. My sister didn¡¯t mean to do it... I... I tripped and fell by accident.¡± Ye Tianjiao¡¯s attempt at peace only poured oil on the flames. Ye Ranran couldn¡¯t believe how malicious this woman was. The saying ¡®even a tiger does not eat its own,¡¯ yet she dared to joke about her own child. Was it all just to make Gao Han despise her? To hate her? Why go to such extents? Gao Han was already hers, wasn¡¯t he? ¡°Ye Ranran, if anything happens to Tianjiao, I will not let you off,¡± Gao Han said, carrying Ye Tianjiao off in a hurry. Ye Ranran was at a loss. She had made it a point to stay away from them, so why were they still haunting her, unwilling to let her be? ¡°It¡¯s not your fault,¡± Jun Mochan reassured her, roughing up her hair, oblivious to the others in the room. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t feel like eating anymore. Seeing her under the weather, Jun Mochan took her hand, ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Ye Ranran replied, not caring how others might see her, and simply nodded. Upon returning to Riverside Villa, Ye Ranran noticed that the place was deserted. Facing her curious gaze, Jun Mochan explained, ¡°We were both out tonight so I gave Mrs. Wu a day off.¡± ¡°Why are you here?¡± Ye Ranran finally sensed something off. She didn¡¯t remember giving him her address. ¡°Let¡¯s just say our minds are in sync,¡± Jun Mochan replied, rolling up his sleeves. ¡°What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll cook.¡± Sure enough, Ye Ranran¡¯s attention was quickly diverted. ¡°You can cook?¡± she asked, intrigued. A top-tier CEO could cook? ¡°Why don¡¯t you give it a try?¡± Jun Mochan said, putting on his apron. Him wearing an apron over his dress shirt and pants seemed odd, but it in no way reduced his handsomeness. ¡°Hot and Sour Potato Strips, Mapo Tofu,¡± Ye Ranran said, ordering two dishes. Taking out a potato from the fridge, Jun Mochan remarked, ¡°I never would have guessed, but you have strong tastes.¡± You either prefer sour or spicy. ¡°...¡± Something about his statement didn¡¯t sit right with her, it didn¡¯t sound like a compliment. Besides the dishes ordered by Ye Ranran, Jun Mochan also sauteed some water spinach, cooked some braised spare ribs, and prepared corn and kelp soup. A whole four dishes and one soup. ¡°There are only two of us, can we finish all this?¡± Yeran asked even as she quickly picked up some potato strips with her chopsticks. The food looked appealing and tasted even better. Ye Ranran squinted her eyes in delight, ¡°Mr. Jun, I never would have thought you had a talent for cooking.¡± ¡°So in your eyes, I¡¯m only capable of being a chef?¡± Noticing the dangerous undertone in his voice, Ye Ranran quickly shook her head, ¡°No, in my eyes, you¡¯re the perfect husband.¡± She was glowing with happiness, and her eyes were brimming with laughter. It was as if the earlier incident hadn¡¯t happened. Seeing this version of Ye Ranran, Jun Mochan was even more determined. No matter who it was, he wouldn¡¯t allow them to harm Ye Ranran. This was his only hard line. ¡°So, is there a reward?¡± Picking up on the hidden message in his words, Ye Ranran gave him a coquettish look, but a sense of desolation swelled within her. Images of Gao Han¡¯s murderous gaze and malicious words flashed through her mind. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much, I¡¯m here,¡± Seeing the sadness in Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes, a cold glint flashed in Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes. Ye Ranran shook her head with a wry smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they can¡¯t hurt me.¡± Chapter 26 - 26 026 Who is the Second Hand Good_1 ?26: Chapter 026: Who is the Second Hand Good_1 26: Chapter 026: Who is the Second Hand Good_1 No matter how many tricks Ye Tianjiao uses, as long as she no longer cares about Gao Han, how could she get hurt? Tonight, Ye Ranran took the initiative to get close, passionate as fire, not knowing if she was trying to prove her determination or trying to drag Jun Mochan down with her. Naturally, Jun Mochan wouldn¡¯t refuse. When Ye Ranran, exhausted, snuggles in his arms, Jun Mochan¡¯s hands encircle her waist. Their bodies pressed against each other, without any gap at all. ¡°Do you care a lot about him?¡± In the haze, Ye Ranran heard this question. ¡°No, what I care about is you.¡± Ye Ranran actively hugs Jun Mochan. His embrace was warm, just like him. After missing out on Gao Han, she still had the chance to meet Jun Mochan. But if she missed out on Jun Mochan, she doubted she¡¯d meet anyone like him again. After Ye Ranran fell asleep, Jun Mochan¡¯s phone rang. Jun Mochan quietly gets out of bed, picks up the phone, and walks out to the balcony to answer it. ¡°Jun Mochan, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Gao Han¡¯s roar clearly came through the phone into Jun Mochan¡¯s ear. ¡°Better keep your distance from Ye Ranran. If you continue to let your woman make a fuss, the outcome won¡¯t be as simple as a bad rumor.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s intention was simple and straightforward, said with his usual calm composure, only without the gentleness and softness he¡¯d show when facing Ye Ranran. ¡°Never thought you, Jun Mochan, would one day pick up someone else¡¯s discarded secondhand woman.¡± ¡°Whether she¡¯s secondhand, you¡¯re clearer than I am. I just don¡¯t know if the woman by your side is as clean as you think.¡± Hearing the sound of the other person hanging up, Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes sharpened. Looking at the photos Ah Chuan sent to him in his phone, a cold smile appeared on Jun Mochan¡¯s lips. He wouldn¡¯t let go of anyone who wronged Ye Ranran. ¡°Ah Chuan, send that videotape to President Gao tomorrow, and also send a copy to the news station.¡± ... After the whole ordeal the day before, Ye Ranran thought she would surely be questioned by everyone the next day. At the very least, she was prepared to receive various contemptuous, dismissive glances, standing tall and unflinching. But what was going on now? Why was everyone looking at her as if she were a pitiful creature? This didn¡¯t make any sense. ¡°Ranran, you¡¯re here.¡± Xiao Zhang came over. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t speak, just blinking her big eyes at her. ¡°Come on, I have something to show you.¡± Xiao Zhang pulled her over to the computer. There was a news report playing, the headline read in bold, black letters: Sisters compete for husband, scheming younger sister frames elder sister. Further down, there was a picture of her reaching out, and Ye Tianjiao falling to the ground, with a video below. Various media outlets were interviewing Gao Han. ¡°Mr. Gao, what would you like to say to your wrongfully accused sister?¡± ¡°Mr. Gao, is this how you usually handle things, blaming others without getting the full story?¡± ¡°Mr. Gao,...¡± The media¡¯s questions were sharper one after another, while Gao Han kept a cold face, not responding. Ye Ranran watched in shock. Xiao Zhang was about to say something, but Ye Ranran took out her phone and started dialing a number while heading towards her office. The call connected quickly. ¡°Honey, missing me?¡± ¡°Did you orchestrate the incident with Gao Han?¡± After a moment of silence on the other end, he replied: ¡°Every time you call, it¡¯s to discuss these things.¡± ¡°I feel happy about it, but don¡¯t see the necessity. ¡± Chapter 27 - 27 027 Shameless_1 ?27: Chapter 027: Shameless_1 27: Chapter 027: Shameless_1 Ye Tianjiao has used such tactics countless times, but using a child this time was especially ruthless. ¡°Accusing someone falsely comes at a price.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s words hit Ye Ranran¡¯s heart like a stone, causing ripples to form one after another. The feeling was sweet. ¡°Ranran.¡± Xiao Zhang rushed in from outside. Ye Ranran had to hang up the phone: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°S.Z Magazine has adopted our company¡¯s design draft.¡± The corners of Ye Ranran¡¯s lips couldn¡¯t help but lift, the joy spreading from her eyes to her brows. Just as she was about to share her joy with Jun Mochan, Xiao Zhang bit his lip, looking at her as if wanting to say something but hesitating. A feeling of unease rose in Ye Ranran¡¯s heart: ¡°Isn¡¯t this something to be happy about?¡± ¡°For the company yes, but not for you, because the design draft is by Zhao Yue Li.¡± Xiao Zhang threw the latest issue of the magazine in front of Ye Ranran. The design draft on it was familiar, the clothes were familiar, and the name was familiar, but it wasn¡¯t hers. ¡°This is clearly my design draft.¡± Ye Ranran, always calm, finally snapped, not even noticing when her phone fell to the ground. Hearing Ye Ranran¡¯s cry from the phone, Jun Mochan frowned. It seemed the little lady was in trouble again. ¡°Ah Chuan, I¡¯m going out for a bit.¡± Ye Ranran, trembling with anger, picked up the magazine and stormed into the director¡¯s office. The director was in an embrace with Zhao Yue Li, and their forced separation due to Ye Ranran¡¯s sudden entrance surprised them both. Zhao Yue Li, her blouse unbuttoned to reveal her full, fair cleavage, calmly buttoned up under Ye Ranran¡¯s look of disdain. The director, however, looked unhappy: ¡°Don¡¯t you know how to knock before entering?¡± Ye Ranran threw the magazine hard on the table: ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± ¡°What do you mean, ¡®what¡¯s going on¡¯? Who do you think you¡¯re talking to?¡± Ye Ranran sneered, ¡°What do I think? You plagiarized me and then expected me to speak nicely?¡± At this moment, Ye Ranran wished she could slap the adulterous pair right in their faces. Plagiarized you? Who stole from you?¡± said the director, sounding somewhat nervous. ¡°Still deny it? The design draft in S.Z Magazine is clearly mine, so why is her name on it?¡± Ye Ranran pointed at Zhao Yue Li. ¡°You dare to say that when the two of you handed in identical drafts? She beat you to it, so who stole from whom is yet to be established.¡± Ye Ranran couldn¡¯t believe they could be so shameless, they were literally distorting the facts. She laughed out of sheer anger: ¡°So you committed plagiarism after all?¡± The director frowned: ¡°Ye Ranran, watch your words, or we can sue you for defamation.¡± ¡°Indeed, you need evidence to accuse me of copying your design.¡± said Zhao Yue Li, who had tidied herself up and was now speaking defiantly. Ye Ranran¡¯s lips quivered with the outrageousness of these two people, she was so angry she couldn¡¯t even utter a word. ¡°I quit.¡± She dropped these words and ran out. She ran out of the company without even taking her purse, ran until she was tired, then stopped, squatting on the ground and started crying. ¡°Sob, sob.¡± She buried her head in her arms and cried bitterly. Jun Mochan had been calling her, but got no answer. He was worried something might have happened when he spotted her on the side of the road, crying pitifully. He sighed in relief, hung up his phone, and walked toward her gracefully. The footsteps stopped in front of her, Ye Ranran wiped her tears: ¡°What are you looking at? Haven¡¯t you ever seen a girl cry?¡± ¡°Indeed, I haven¡¯t, especially not one who¡¯s crying so pitifully.¡± Chapter 28 - 28 028 Divine Turnaround_1 ?28: Chapter 028: Divine Turnaround_1 28: Chapter 028: Divine Turnaround_1 Recognizing the familiar voice, Ye Ranran looked up in surprise and jumped to her feet as she saw Jun Mochan. ¡°You, how could you be here?¡± she stuttered. Jun Mochan pulled her into his arms, brushing away her tears with a gentle hand. ¡°Why are you crying? Don¡¯t you know you can come to me with anything?¡± he asked. ¡°What use is it to find you? That shameless pair are sure they¡¯ve got me boxed in,¡± Ye Ranran responded, a deeply frustrated tone in her voice. The magazine was already published, it was impossible to change it now. No wonder Zhao Yue Li was so confident from the start. She must have planned this all along. ¡°Mrs. Jun, remember your husband is capable of anything. Plus, I won¡¯t let anyone who bullies you get away with it,¡± he said. Jun Mochan¡¯s tone was as gentle as ever, yet his face held an icy seriousness. Ye Ranran knew how dominating and dangerous this man could be. ¡°What... what are you planning?¡± she asked. Seeing her look of concern, Jun Mochan couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything illegal. They just need to know that taking your work without permission is not acceptable.¡± ¡°Do you have a plan?¡± she asked, looking hopefully at him. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I have a meeting to attend soon.¡± ¡°But my stuff is still at the office.¡± Jun Mochan sighed and looked at Ye Ranran, instructing his driver, ¡°Go get my wife¡¯s belongings.¡± ... Jun Mochan brought Ye Ranran to his office. It was her second time there, yet unlike her more inconspicuous first visit, this time many people were waiting for Jun Mochan. Seeing him accompanied by a woman, they all assessed Ye Ranran with measured glances. Ye Ranran wished she could bury herself in a hole. She clung onto Jun Mochan¡¯s sleeve, ¡°Did you do this on purpose?¡± Jun Mochan held onto her, ¡°No, it¡¯s just time for the meeting.¡± He was always punctual for meetings, so everyone arrived a bit earlier as well. But why were they all standing outside the room now? ¡°Mr. Jun, the deputy manager was just using the conference room. It¡¯s being cleaned now,¡± Ah Chuan quickly reported, arriving with a stack of files. Jun Mochan took the files and opened the door to his office, ¡°Just wait for me here, I¡¯ll be done with the meeting soon.¡± His soft-spoken manner floored the senior officers, who all watched Ye Ranran with admiration. She had kept her head down, and Jun Mochan had held her close, so nobody got a clear look at her. Such a pity. ¡°Mr. Jun, the conference room has been cleaned.¡± ¡°All right, let¡¯s start the meeting then,¡± Jun Mochan said, striding into the room. Today¡¯s meeting was about a new financing plan, suggesting a further expansion for the J.C Group. The proposal was swiftly approved by the executive officers, sparing little time for debate. ¡°I¡¯d like to acquire S.Z Magazine,¡± Jun Mochan suddenly dropped a bombshell just as the meeting seemed to be wrapping up amicably. ¡°Why?¡± Someone raised a question, ¡°We¡¯ve never dabbled in the entertainment industry. As for fashion and jewelry, we already have designated media and internet promotion channels. We don¡¯t need a magazine.¡± ¡°Yeah, very few people read magazines nowadays, it¡¯s totally unnecessary.¡± ... ¡°In our new financing plan, we¡¯ll be establishing a film company, investing in movies and television shows, and inevitably fostering our own talent. If we were to acquire S.Z Magazine, it would undoubtedly add luster to our projects,¡± Ah Chuan stood up amidst the commotion. In the office, Ye Ranran was unaware that Jun Mochan was planning to acquire S.Z Magazine. She was absorbed in browsing the internet news. Suddenly, she saw a headline: ¡°Twist of Fate, There¡¯s a New Woman Emerging After the Mistress.¡± Chapter 29 - 29 029 Showing Off Affection_1 ?29: Chapter 029: Showing Off Affection_1 29: Chapter 029: Showing Off Affection_1 What the hell? Unable to contain her curiosity, Ye Ranran clicked on it, revealing a picture of a man and a woman embracing each other. She recognized the man instantly¡ªit was none other than Gao Han. The woman, however, was not Ye Tianjiao. Just then her phone conveniently rang. Looking at the call ID, it was Ye Tianjiao calling. ¡°Hello.¡± Ye Ranran answered. ¡°Ye Ranran, did you do this? Can¡¯t you stand to see me happy?¡± The immediate barrage of accusations from Ye Tianjiao made Ye Ranran burst into ironic laughter: ¡°Yeah, sure, I can¡¯t stand to see you happy. So what? You¡¯ve gone to great lengths to snatch up a scumbag. I¡¯m genuinely worried for the kid inside you.¡± ¡°Oops, my bad. Maybe he was hers in the first place. Maybe you accidentally stole someone¡¯s husband.¡± Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to be this harsh, but the questioning from Ye Tianjiao and the day¡¯s events had her simmering with anger. She desperately needed to vent. Unfortunately for Ye Tianjiao, she chose the wrong time to confront Ye Ranran. Don¡¯t blame her for not holding back. ¡°Ye Ranran, you won¡¯t ruin my happiness. I won¡¯t let you succeed.¡± Ye Tianjiao hung up the phone in rage. ¡°If it¡¯s true happiness, who can ruin it?¡± Ye Ranran retorted disdainfully. Jun Mochan, having just walked in and heard her response, nodded in agreement: ¡°Exactly, true happiness can never be ruined by anyone.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes, although still red from recent tears, shone brightly: ¡°Mr. Jun, let¡¯s go show off our love.¡± Hell with that couple. ¡°I never thought Mrs. Jun would take the initiative. In that case, I respectfully obey. Let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Mochan reached out his hand. Ye Ranran grabbed it and together they went to visit Ye Tianjiao. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to confront Ye Tianjiao and had originally planned to let her off the hook. But that changed when she received that phone call. Ye Ranran found her utterly disgusting. If she could be so shameless, there was no need for Ye Ranran to show her any courtesy. When Ye Ranran and Jun Mochan appeared together in front of Ye Tianjiao¡¯s hospital bed, her face alternated between pale and flushed¡ªit was quite a spectacle. Gao Han, who was taking care of her, looked as chilly as ice and snow. ¡°Ye Ranran, don¡¯t go too far.¡± After shooting a glance at Jun Mochan, Gao Han glared at Ye Ranran. Seeing his cold face, Ye Ranran wondered how she ever found this man attractive. The resentment and reluctance in her heart faded quickly. ¡°Me, going too far? You blame me wrongly and don¡¯t even apologize, and you call me excessive?¡± ¡°I fell by myself. Han didn¡¯t know the whole story and spoke unfavorably about you. We are really sorry about that.¡± Ye Tianjiao bit her lip, looking pitiful and resigned. Ye Ranran couldn¡¯t stand her playing the victim. She wished she could slap her across the face and say ¡®Sorry, my hand slipped¡¯. ¡°Tianjiao is already in this state due to you, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s time to back off? If you have any grievances or anger, direct it towards me. Don¡¯t involve Tianjiao.¡± Such a deep affection was truly touching. ¡°I¡¯m here today to tell you to stop trying to throw your dirt on me. I don¡¯t have time for your drama. Have some decency, please!¡± Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes immediately reddened: ¡°Sister, I know you hate me, but Han and I truly love each other. Can¡¯t you just wish us well? If... if you really can¡¯t accept it, I¡¯ll let him go back to you.¡± Chapter 30 - 30 030 Protecting Her_1 ?30: Chapter 030: Protecting Her_1 30: Chapter 030: Protecting Her_1 Hearing this made Ye Ranran feel nauseous, almost vomitting up everything she ate yesterday: ¡°Ye Tianjiao, do you have any shame left?¡± ¡°I think I need to clarify a few things: First, I sincerely wish you both a lifelong companionship, so you won¡¯t hurt anyone else ever again. Second, I¡¯m already married.¡± Ye Ranran pointed to Jun Mochan who was standing beside her: ¡°My husband, you all know him.¡± Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han did not believe it at all. How could Ye Ranran be married so soon? ¡°Mr. Gao, Miss Ye, your personal matters have disturbed my wife, I hope you will not bother her in the future.¡± Jun Mochan spoke calmly and distantly. Did these two come here to warn them today? Ye Tianjiao tearfully looked at Ye Ranran: ¡°Sister, I know you¡¯re angry at me, but you can¡¯t joke about something as serious as marriage.¡± ¡°You should be focusing on yourself rather than me.¡± Ye Ranran glanced at a figure coming from the hallway. A woman in a red skirt walked past them, swaying her hips. Seeing Ye Ranran and Jun Mochan at the entrance, she said coldly: ¡°Make way, please.¡± Ye Ranran pulled Jun Mochan aside, and the woman walked in sideways. Ye Tianjiao was taken aback by the sudden appearance of this woman. The woman picked up a glass of water from the table and splashed it at Ye Tianjiao¡¯s face. ¡°Ah.¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°What am I doing? This bitch stole my boyfriend, dumped him, and now she¡¯s hooked up with a rich guy. Oh, so you want to clear your name? It won¡¯t be that easy.¡± The woman went forward, grabbed Ye Tianjiao¡¯s hair, and began to scratch and bite. Ye Ranran was shocked by the news. She thought Ye Tianjiao¡¯s hobby was only stealing from her. She never expected that she would also steal from others. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jun Mochan took Ye Ranran¡¯s hand. Ye Ranran mechanically followed him: ¡°I thought...¡± ¡°Ye Tianjiao once approached me.¡± Ye Ranran was immediately intrigued. ¡°Why did she approach you? Was she asking for your phone number? Trying to flirt with you? How did you reject her?¡± They heard screams, doctors berating, and voices of conciliation faintly coming from the end of the hallway. Ye Ranran felt calm, with no guilt whatsoever. If you always walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? ¡°Madam asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?¡± ¡°Naturally, you should answer them one by one. Tell me everything.¡± Jun Mochan smiled meaningfully. ¡°Is there a reward for this?¡± Ye Ranran was stunned for a moment. Her face turned red: ¡°Jun Mochan, why are you so lewd?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything, where is your mind wandering?¡± A mischievous smile lit up Jun Mochan¡¯s face, he was irresistible, very different from his usual gentle demeanor. Ye Ranran turned her head away, choosing to remain silent. Smart as she was, she already knew she couldn¡¯t out-argue Jun Mochan. If they continued the discussion, she would definitely be the one at a disadvantage. ¡°Alright, no need to worry, even if I wanted to, I couldn¡¯t do anything to you now. And about the Ye Family, what are your thoughts?¡± The first part of his sentence was flirtatious, but the latter was pure business. It took Ye Ranran a bit of time to catch up with his pace. ¡°If Ye Tianjiao gets the hint and stops now, I won¡¯t do anything. But if she still doesn¡¯t learn her lesson, she can¡¯t blame me.¡± She had stepped back as far as she could, if she doesn¡¯t show some restraint... ¡°Hmm, don¡¯t worry. I will protect you.¡± Chapter 31 - 31 031 Those who bully her will pay the price_1 ?31: Chapter 031: Those who bully her will pay the price_1 31: Chapter 031: Those who bully her will pay the price_1 A single sentence smoothed over all the unease in Ye Ranran¡¯s heart. ¡°I¡¯m not as fragile as you think.¡± This statement allowed Ye Ranran to hold on through three rounds of insistent probing. Afterward, she called for a halt, panting heavily. ¡°Weren¡¯t you not frail?¡± Jun Mochan asked, sporting a smug, devilish grin. Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± The next morning, Ye Ranran was rudely woken up by a phone call. ¡°Hello.¡± She answered the phone without bothering to glance at the screen. ¡°Ye Ranran, I didn¡¯t think you could be so cruel. Do you even have a shred of humanity left?¡± Being cursed at so early in the morning by someone who plagiarized her work left her livid. Feeling agitated, Ye Ranran retorted, ¡°Zhao Yue Li, what are you raving about this early in the morning? If you forgot to take your medicine, I suggest you take it now, or I won¡¯t hesitate to sic a mad dog on you.¡± Frustrated, Zhao Yue Li replied, ¡°Ye Ranran, don¡¯t get cocky just because you¡¯ve latched onto Jun Mochan. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall when pushed too far. If you don¡¯t leave room for me to survive, I won¡¯t leave any room for you either.¡± Just as Ye Ranran was about to respond, the line went dead. ¡°Nutcase,¡± Ye Ranran mumbled to herself. ¡°What happened?¡± Jun Mochan emerged from the bathroom, refreshed. His bathrobe hung loosely over his body, his robust chest partially exposed and his torso littered with suspicious scratches. Ye Ranran¡¯s face immediately turned pink. Last night Jun Mochan had pounced on her as soon as he got out of the shower, not stopping until midnight. The memories from last night flashed through her mind, causing Ye Ranran¡¯s face to turn beet red. Taking one look at her evasive gaze and flushed face, Jun Mochan knew what she was thinking. About to tease her a bit, her phone suddenly rang again. ¡°Who keeps calling you this early?¡± Ye Ranran digit at the screen and saw the word ¡®Director,¡¯ her expression souring. Without a word, Jun Mochan took the phone from her and held it up to his ear. ¡°Ranran, I know we did wrong, but shouldn¡¯t we discuss matters in a civil manner? Isn¡¯t what you¡¯re doing a little too overboard?¡± ¡°The things I did were done without my wife¡¯s knowledge. Also, jump to conclusions? Wait till the contract termination arrives then we¡¯ll talk about conclusions.¡± Jun Mochan ended the call after his curt reply. Finally sensing something awry, Ye Ranran asked, ¡°What did you do?¡± ¡°I promised that whoever bullies you would pay the price.¡± His domineering declaration was typical of Jun Mochan. Ye Ranran, however, didn¡¯t find this disagreeable, instead, it stirred sweetness in her heart. ¡°At least let me know what you did to them?¡± Jun Mochan glanced at her, saying mysteriously, ¡°Perhaps you should get dressed first.¡± Finally realizing her predicament, Ye Ranran clutched at the sheets desperately. She had been naked all along, and her hands had unwittingly slipped, revealing a lot more than she had intended. ¡°Jerk, taking advantage of me again.¡± She threw a pillow at him, quickly snagging the blanket to cover herself. ¡°Hehe, is there any part of your body that I haven¡¯t touched?¡± Jun Mochan caught the pillow, chuckling as he headed for the dressing room. Ye Ranran picked up a set of clothes off the floor and rushed into the bathroom. Once she was decently dressed, she logged into her QQ account on her computer. Her company¡¯s group chat on QQ was in chaos. But before she could read the messages, several people had already started private chats with her. ¡°Aiyah, oh my, Ranran, you¡¯re finally online. Have you seen the video yet?¡± As soon as Xiao Zhang noticed Ye Ranran online, he buzzed her screen, pouring out a stream of words. Just as Ye Ranran was about to open the video, her mouse was shaken out of position by the incessant buzzing. Chapter 32 - 32 032 About Dealing with _1 ?32: Chapter 032: About Dealing with _1 32: Chapter 032: About Dealing with _1 ¡°Haven¡¯t gotten a chance to see it, what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°The director and Zhao Yue Li are infamous now. Hurry up and watch the video.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯m watching it now.¡± Ye Ranran replied, clicking on the video. The video was shot from a point-blank angle, capturing every contour of the man and woman clearly! I don¡¯t know if it was deliberate or not, but towards the end, a close-up shot was included. The scene shifted to the two of them secretly switching things out. In the video, Ye Ranran handed over the design drafts and left shortly thereafter. Then Zhao Yue Li came in and she and the director changed the name from Ye Ranran to hers. As if afraid people wouldn¡¯t see clearly, the footage was magnified and slowed down. ¡°Now the internet is flooded with this news, readers are complaining to S.Z Magazine in droves. S.Z Magazine is putting pressure on our company, which led to the immediate dismissal of the disgraceful pair.¡± ¡°Everyone knows now that you were wronged.¡± Looking at the words on the screen, then at the video, and finally thinking about what Jun Mochan said, Ye Ranran chuckled. This man, he really can¡¯t bear to see her suffer even a little bit. ¡°What are you laughing at? Have you had breakfast?¡± Jun Mochan asked, worried since she hadn¡¯t come down in a while. As soon as he walked in, he saw her laughing at the computer screen and gave her a worried look. Damn, what¡¯s the deal with that look he¡¯s giving her? ¡°Ruining their reputation is enough; I¡¯m not planning to stay with that company anymore.¡± Considering he helped her once again, Ye Ranran decided not to pick on him this time. ¡°You¡¯re not going to blacklist them?¡± ¡°No need. Public opinion is about to drown them. Even if you don¡¯t blacklist them, I doubt they¡¯ll have anywhere to go.¡± ¡°Alright, since it¡¯s a request from my wife, I must comply. It¡¯s just that you¡¯re so kind-hearted, it¡¯s no wonder you always end up getting taken advantage of.¡± Ye Ranran disagreed, ¡°Even a cornered dog will jump over the wall. I¡¯m teaching them a lesson without causing trouble for myself.¡± Jun Mochan looked at her approvingly. This was what he liked the most about her, neither too soft-hearted nor too aggressive. Right after breakfast, Shi Yang called, inviting Ye Ranran to visit S.Z. Without thinking too much, Ye Ranran agreed. ¡°I¡¯ll have Ah Chuan take you there,¡± offered Jun Mochan before she left. ¡°No need, there¡¯s a driver at home, right? Just let him take me there,¡± Ye Ranran picked up her bag and headed for the door. Only after Ye Ranran had left did Jun Mochan get into his car. ¡°Chairman, I¡¯ve prepared the acquisition plan for S.Z. Taking advantage of this scandal, it¡¯s a good time to make a move,¡± Ah Chuan said, driving. Jun Mochan glanced at the plan in his hand, ¡°Mmm, I know, let me take a look.¡± When Ye Ranran arrived at S.Z, she was warmly welcomed, with Shi Yang personally greeting her. This reception simultaneously flattered and alarmed her. If it was just to correct the name, there was no need for such a fuss. With this in mind, Ye Ranran became more cautious. Shi Yang didn¡¯t invite Ye Ranran to the office, but to the conference room instead. Ye Ranran looked around, noting that this place was far from the office area, which made her even more vigilant. ¡°Designer Ye, don¡¯t be nervous. Today, I asked you here to discuss the copyright issue of the design drafts.¡± ¡°What is there to discuss?¡± The designs are known to be hers, aren¡¯t they? Chapter 33 - 33 033 Coercion_1 ?33: Chapter 033: Coercion_1 33: Chapter 033: Coercion_1 Shi Yang seemed to ignore Ye Ranran¡¯s tense face, continued, ¡°I know you¡¯ve been wronged in this matter, Ms. Ye. But we had no knowledge of it. Would it be fair for us to bear the loss?¡± So, it wasn¡¯t about clearing her name after all. Ye Ranran mockingly replied, ¡°So, what?¡± ¡°So, we hope you could make a statement, clarifying that we were implicated unknowingly. The design copyright issue was a voluntary change on your part,¡± Shi Yang explained. ¡°As long as we can pacify the readers¡¯ anger, we will compensate you afterward.¡± The disbelief in Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes gradually changed to indifference, then to a slow, cold gaze, like a December wind, cutting through Shi Yang: ¡°Compensate? And how exactly do you plan to compensate me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you to decide, as long as it is within our means,¡± Shi Yang responded cautiously. ¡°It¡¯s up to me? Okay, my only condition is for you to issue a statement admitting that you guys published the designs without even asking me, and to formally apologize to me here and now.¡± Shi Yang¡¯s face noticeably darkened, ¡°Designer Ye, that would embarrass us all.¡± ¡°Embarrassed? I initially just wanted an apology. But now it seems you will have to compensate me for my losses. You¡¯ve violated my copyright, I wonder how much are you liable for. If this results in scandalous allegations, I wonder if you¡¯ll still have your position as chief editor?¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s tone turned icy cold, sending shivers down their spines. Anger flashed across Shi Yang¡¯s face, ¡°It seems that Designer Ye is unwilling to compromise.¡± ¡°Do you think I would slap my own face?¡± Ye Ranran retorted, her face frosty with anger. ¡°Very well, since this is the case, please enjoy your tea here at your leisure, Designer Ye, and come out when you have figured out how you want to proceed,¡± As soon as Shi Yang finished speaking, several men in black entered from the door and forcefully took Ye Ranran¡¯s bag away. Ye Ranran struggled hard, clutching her bag tightly, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± ¡°We won¡¯t do anything, we merely want Ms. Ye to cool down and think about what she should do.¡± Ye Ranran never imagined they would dare to confine her. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, this is illegal.¡± The man in black ignored Ye Ranran¡¯s screams and snatched away her bag forcefully. ¡°Bang.¡± The door was shut, and Ye Ranran was locked in the room. It was a room with three walls, with a single window by the door. Even if she broke the window with her high heels, she wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. Ye Ranran began to smash tables, cups, chairs. She only stopped when everything in the room was shattered. ¡°Call your head boss here, I have something to say,¡± Ye Ranran shouted at the door. Shi Yang quickly arrived to find the room looking like a car wreck, causing his mouth to twitch harshly. Ye Ranran pushed back her messy hair, ¡°Give me my bag, I need to touch up.¡± Shi Yang gestured to the man at the door, who then handed Ye Ranran her bag. ¡°Is there a restroom?¡± Looking at Ye Ranran¡¯s face covered in smudged make-up and her false eyelashes on the verge of falling off, Shi Yang nodded, ¡°Straight ahead and turn right.¡± One of the men in black followed behind Ye Ranran, standing by the restroom door. After fixing her appearance in the restroom, Ye Ranran reentered the room. ¡°If you had been sensible earlier, you wouldn¡¯t have had to go through all this,¡± Shi Yang smirked. Chapter 34 - 34 034 Timely Appearance_1 ?34: Chapter 034: Timely Appearance_1 34: Chapter 034: Timely Appearance_1 Ye Ranran sat across from him, ¡°This is forced, isn¡¯t it? You must have drafted the kind of statement you want me to release.¡± Shi Yang handed her a piece of paper, ¡°We will hold a press conference, and you can just read from it.¡± Ye Ranran read the text on the paper. It essentially stated that she willingly allowed Zhao Yue Li to sign off the design drafts on her behalf. Recently, she had gone back to her hometown and hadn¡¯t kept up with the news online. She had never expected it to cause such an uproar. She apologized for the trouble caused to the company and S.Z Magazine, and thanked her readers who cared about her. ¡°If I do as you say, about the compensation you mentioned?¡± ¡°That goes without saying.¡± Ye Ranran put away the paper, ¡°Alright, when is this press conference?¡± ¡°It¡¯s about to start, let¡¯s go.¡± Good, they certainly were well prepared! Almost simultaneously, Jun Mochan¡¯s car was parked below S.Z Magazine¡¯s building. Everyone was anxiously following Jun Mochan, not understanding why the President would personally show up to merely acquire a small magazine company. Everyone did not dare to ask Jun Mochan, and could only silently question Ah Chuan with their eyes. Ah Chuan, who followed behind Jun Mochan unwaveringly, seemed to have not received the silent queries from everyone. He absolutely would not tell them that it was because his wife was here. The moment Jun Mochan reached the entrance, Ye Ranran had already begun to speak at the press conference: ¡°Ladies and Gentlemen, we have gathered here today because S.Z Magazine wanted me to issue a statement, oh, let me clarify, they hope that I can issue a statement according to their wishes.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s words made Shi Yang stand up. He wanted to interrupt her, but under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, he couldn¡¯t do anything to Ye Ranran. ¡°At first, I would rather die than yield. But then, I felt it was unjust to die like that. So, I¡¯m sitting here, facing all of you. As I can¡¯t bear to lie, I decided it¡¯s better to tell the truth.¡± ¡°The design drafts are mine, the name was changed without my consent, regarding the video, it was my husband who had enough and exposed it in public.¡± ¡°I never thought about what I wanted, I just wanted to get justice for myself... ¡± ¡°Shut up, she¡¯s talking nonsense, don¡¯t believe her.¡± Shi Yang finally couldn¡¯t resist interrupting her. Ye Ranran took out a phone from her bag, ¡°Who exactly is talking nonsense? Just by listening, we can know.¡± In the phone, the last conversation between Shi Yang and Ye Ranran started playing... ¡°As long as you recite what¡¯s on it, to calm down this controversy, we will compensate you afterward.¡± Shi Yang lunged at her, trying to snatch the phone that was held against the microphone. Ye Ranran was one step ahead and pushed Shi Yang away. However, Shi Yang was well prepared and clutched onto Ye Ranran tightly. Ye Ranran, despite the pain in her arm from being grabbed, forcibly turned up the volume of her phone to maximum. ¡°Ye Ranran, you¡¯re too shameless.¡± Shi Yang gripping Ye Ranran¡¯s hair in one hand and her arm in the other, was pulling viciously. Ye Ranran raised her arm high, trying to hold the phone close to the microphone so that everyone could hear clearly, also trying to shake off Shi Yang. ¡°Shameless? I wonder who is shameless. If you want me to be humiliated, you should see whether I am willing first.¡± Unable to shake off Shi Yang, Ye Ranran simply lowered her head and bit at Shi Yang¡¯s arm. ¡°Ah.¡± Shi Yang screamed. The scene suddenly turned chaotic. ¡°My god, what the hell is happening?¡± Some of the media personnel were stunned, and momentarily flabbergasted. Ah Chuan and Jun Mochan arrived to witness this scene and were flabbergasted. The quicker responding media personnel were already snapping pictures with their cameras. Chapter 35 - 35 035 Post-Operation_1 ?35: Chapter 035: Post-Operation_1 35: Chapter 035: Post-Operation_1 Jun Mochan gave Ah Chuan a look, Ah Chuan nodded and waved at the bodyguard behind him. The bodyguard stepped forward, parting the crowd, ¡°Excuse me, make way, please.¡± The sudden appearance of the bodyguard quieted the boisterous venue instantly. A man in a suit and leather shoes, cool and ethereal, walked slowly from behind the bodyguard. Like a god descending from the sky. Everyone forgot to move, all staring blankly at Jun Mochan. Jun Mochan removed Shi Yang¡¯s hand, rescued Ye Ranran, lifted her onto his shoulder, and ordered Ah Chuan, ¡°Handle the aftermath.¡± ¡°Yes, President.¡± ¡°Jun Mochan, what are you doing? Let me go.¡± Ye Ranran was not willing to be carried away by him like this, and she slapped his back hard. Jun Mochan put her down from his shoulder and held her in his arms. Due to the fight with Shi Yang, Ye Ranran¡¯s hair was in disarray. Her originally well-done make-up had completely worn off, her right eyelashes had fallen off, and the other one was on the verge of falling. Seeing her in such a disheveled state, Jun Mochan was unable to express his reproachful words, but his face wasn¡¯t pleasant either. ¡°If you continue to struggle, I won¡¯t mind silencing you.¡± Jun Mochan leaned in close to her, just a bend away from kissing her lips. Ye Ranran promptly gave up struggling. Sitting in the car, Ye Ranran adjusted the hair blocking her face, looking out of the window without uttering a word. Jun Mochan fastened her seatbelt for her, ¡°You¡¯re at fault and yet you¡¯re creating a scene, is that right?¡± Ye Ranran huffed, ¡°I¡¯m causing a scene? Mr. Jun, whose husband are you exactly?¡± ¡°Would I have saved you if I weren¡¯t your husband?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s words were cold, but his indifferent eyes betrayed his thoughts. He was angry. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t understand why he was angry. She should be the one who was angry, right? ¡°Who asked for your help? I can handle it on my own.¡± ¡°Swoosh.¡± The sudden sharp braking sound rang out, and Ye Ranran instinctively leaned forward. Without the safety belt, she would probably have been tossed out by now. ¡°Could you repeat what you just said?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s gaze was cold and dangerous, like a leopard ready to pounce. Ye Ranran defiantly lifted her head, meeting his gaze, ¡°You came and didn¡¯t bother punishing those scumbags, but you¡¯re actually angry at me? What did I do wrong? Shi Yang imprisoned me and demanded that I only say what he wanted.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this an outright insult to both of us? I could only pretend to obey, secretly collecting evidence. If he dared to hit me, I would not hesitate to fight him till the end in front of everyone.¡± ¡°What did I do wrong? Tell me, what did I do wrong?¡± Looking at the unyielding Ye Ranran, Jun Mochan¡¯s heart softened and the icy light in his eyes disappeared. ¡°The only thing you did wrong was not calling me immediately.¡± ¡°I mentioned he had me locked up earlier, would he ever give me the chance to call?¡± Imprisoned her? Jun Mochan¡¯s face became cold in an instant. The usual hint of a smile was gone from his face, replaced by absolute coldness, as if he was carved from ice at the peak of a tall snowy mountain. Never melting, cold to the bone. ¡°I¡¯ll take revenge for you on this.¡± Jun Mochan, eyes sharp, pulled out his phone, and dialed Ah Chuan¡¯s number. ¡°Make a big deal out of this. Tomorrow, I want to read about it on the news headlines. Also, get me all of Shi Yang¡¯s information.¡± The icy voice was like a breeze blowing over Ye Ranran¡¯s heart, scattering much of her resentment and indignation. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m here.¡± A single sentence smoothed over all of Ye Ranran¡¯s resentment. Chapter 36 - 36 036 How about compensation in kind_1 ?36: Chapter 036: How about compensation in kind_1 36: Chapter 036: How about compensation in kind_1 ¡°Are you planning to ruin his reputation again? Aren¡¯t you afraid that people will band together to take revenge on you?¡± Ye Ranran pulled off the other false eyelash. Jun Mochan sneered: ¡°His reputation is already bad, do I still need to ruin it?¡± ¡°So, what do you plan to do?¡± Under Ye Ranran¡¯s curious gaze, Jun Mochan raised his hand, ruffling her hair: ¡°You¡¯ll know tomorrow.¡± Ye Ranran swatted his hand away: ¡°Stop, it¡¯s a mess.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s a bird¡¯s nest.¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± Is there a difference? The next day, the internet, the newspapers, and all the major news headlines reported this news extensively, and in the afternoon, Shi Yang exposed another scandal. Things like keeping a boy toy, homosexuality, maliciously targeting competitors, using unfair means to compete, and so on. At the same time, Jun Mochan announced his intention to acquire S.Z! ¡°Ah.¡± Ye Tianjiao screamed upon reading the newspaper in her hand. Gao Han hurried over: ¡°Tianjiao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Is this person in the picture my sister?¡± Ye Tianjiao pointed at the person in the newspaper and asked. Due to Jun Mochan¡¯s orders, the media dared not publish a full-face photo of Ye Ranran or even print her name. They only dared to mention the designer whose copyrights were infringed upon by S.Z before. But even from a side profile, Ye Tianjiao could recognize that it was Ye Ranran. ¡°It¡¯s very blurry, I can¡¯t make it out.¡± After closely inspecting it, Gao Han shook his head. Recalling Ye Ranran¡¯s warning last time, he took the newspaper out of Ye Tianjiao¡¯s hand: ¡°Alright, she has her own life. We can¡¯t interfere. You should focus on getting better.¡± As soon as he said this, Ye Tianjiao looked unhappy: ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was careless last time. I caused a misunderstanding about sis, causing others to lash out at her. But she¡¯s still my sister, and we are the ones at fault here, shouldn¡¯t we be more concerned about her?¡± ¡°This matter has nothing to do with you, if there¡¯s anyone to blame, it¡¯s me. If she wants to blame, she should blame me. Tianjiao, she¡¯s married now, and if anyone¡¯s supposed to look after her, it should be her husband.¡± Gao Han sighed heavily. He felt a bit choked up, not knowing why. Ye Tianjiao looked worried and remorseful: ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible that sis married Jun Mochan? I feel like she¡¯s just trying to rile us up.¡± How could Ye Ranran marry Jun Mochan? It¡¯s definitely impossible. ¡°Our parents don¡¯t know about this. If they found out, who knows what would happen. I think we should keep this from them for now and try to set sis up with Mr. Xie. Even if our parents find out later, they won¡¯t criticise sis anymore.¡± Pair up Ye Ranran and Mr. Xie? Gao Han hesitated: ¡°Are you sure this is okay?¡± ¡°Nothing will happen, she¡¯s my sister. Do you think I would harm her? You know what kind of person Jun Mochan is, he¡¯s just playing with sis¡¯s feelings.¡± Gao Han sighed and held Ye Tianjiao in his arms: ¡°Tianjiao, you¡¯re always so kind-hearted.¡± Poor Ye Ranran, unaware that she had escaped one emotional manipulation only to fall into another, was currently cooking for Jun Mochan. After Jun Mochan once again helped her out of her troubles, Ye Ranran expressed her utmost gratitude. ¡°Thank yous are just empty words, let¡¯s see some actual action.¡± Jun Mochan tugged at his tie, his sharp eyes piercing Ye Ranran. That look made Ye Ranran feel as though she were naked, standing before him without a stitch on. ¡°Wha-what kind of compensation do you want?¡± Ye Ranran lowered her head, her fingers idly twisting her dress. ¡°How about... compensation in kind?¡± Jun Mochan began unbuttoning his shirt. Chapter 37 - 37 037 Disgust_1 ?37: Chapter 037: Disgust_1 37: Chapter 037: Disgust_1 Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± ¡°How about I make you a meal instead?¡± ¡°Sounds good.¡± Like that, Ye Ranran put on an apron. Jun Mochan stood at the entrance, watching Ye Ranran bustling about in the kitchen. ¡°Move aside, don¡¯t block the way.¡± Ye Ranran pushed Jun Mochan aside and took a carrot out of the refrigerator. Ye Ranran cut the carrot into several pieces and threw them into the pot. Finally, she made scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Although her parents didn¡¯t like it, Ye Ranran was not good at cooking either, she generally resorted to junk food when there was no one to cater to her. If that didn¡¯t work, she would eat outside, which clearly showed in the presentation of this meal... Looking at the overcooked carrots, and the eggs fried rice so dark one couldn¡¯t discern its color, Jun Mochan didn¡¯t touch his chopsticks for a long while. ¡°Let me tell you, it¡¯s too late for you to be picky now.¡± Ye Ranran saw him staring deeply, feeling not a bit embarrassed, she provocatively said to Jun Mochan. Jun Mochan¡¯s gaze was playful, ¡°Is this how you treat your life savior?¡± ¡°Life savior? Don¡¯t put yourself on a pedestal.¡± Ye Ranran retorted coldly. ¡°So, you just used me and then tossed me aside? What a pity, I, Jun Mochan, never do business at a loss.¡± Jun Mochan said as he picked up a piece of tomato and put it in his mouth. Ye Ranran looked at him expectantly, ¡°How is it? Isn¡¯t the taste alright? This is the first meal I¡¯ve made, you¡¯re not at a loss.¡± Jun Mochan ate very slowly, as if savoring the food, ¡°Mmm, not bad, the taste is alright.¡± ¡°I told you it¡¯s not bad.¡± Ye Ranran sat down. Just as she was about to eat, Jun Mochan pulled the plate away, leaving Ye Ranran¡¯s chopsticks clamping the air. ¡°This is what you made for me. How could you eat it?¡± What did he mean? Ye Ranran frowned prettily, ¡°Are you telling me to starve?¡± No way, isn¡¯t that too cruel? ¡°If you¡¯re hungry, you can ask someone to cook. This is mine, you can¡¯t touch it.¡± Jun Mochan said domineeringly. What a cheapskate. Ye Ranran stood up and tossed her chopsticks as she moved towards the kitchen. Because she was angry, Ye Ranran quickly finished eating. Jun Mochan went upstairs. As he opened the bedroom door, Ye Ranran was taking a shower. Looking at the enchanting silhouette reflected on the bathroom door, Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes darkened. He tossed his coat to the side and headed towards the bathroom. Ye Ranran was rubbing body wash onto her body when, without any warning, the bathroom door was pushed open. ¡°Ah.¡± Just as she was about to scream, her mouth was covered. ¡°Madam, do you want others to know what we¡¯re up to?¡± Ye Ranran was completely naked, her body covered in foam, and Jun Mochan¡¯s hand was slowly sliding down from her collarbone. ¡°Pervert.¡± Ye Ranran grumbled lowly as Jun Mochan released his hand. Jun Mochan¡¯s hand had already reached her middle, Ye Ranran¡¯s face was blood-red, ¡°Where are you touching?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t touch there...¡± ¡°I¡¯m not finished bathing.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s bathe together.¡± Soon, a perfectly normal bath took on a different tone. After several rounds of passionate battle, just before Ye Ranran collapsed from exhaustion, she faintly heard a sentence, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be better to repay me with your body earlier, why all the fuss?¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± The next morning when she woke up, Jun Mochan was no longer by her side. When Ye Ranran was ready to go downstairs, her phone rang. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Ranran.¡± Ye Tianjing¡¯s voice came through the phone. Ye Ranran¡¯s tone was soft, not as cold as when she dealt with Ye Tianjio, ¡°Brother, is something wrong?¡± Facing this half-brother by the same father but different mother, Ye Ranran could not put on a cold facade. Even though Ye Tianjio had done so many hateful things to her, she couldn¡¯t turn cold towards him. Because Ye Tianjing had helped her a lot and had always taken great care of her. Chapter 38 - 38 038 Hongmen Banquet_1 ?38: Chapter 038: Hongmen Banquet_1 38: Chapter 038: Hongmen Banquet_1 ¡°Where have you been lately? Are you getting used to living outside?¡± The voice of Ye Tianjing was full of concern. ¡°I¡¯ve been on a business trip recently, just got back. I tried to call you earlier but your phone was off, I guess you needed some peace. How are you now? Doing okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m doing great, recently quit my job, now looking for a new one, I¡¯ll stop here.¡± Ye Ranran was about to hang up, but Ye Tianjing quickly stopped her: ¡°Wait, I have a favor to ask.¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a dinner party tonight, I just got back and I¡¯m in need of a female companion, what do you think...¡± This wasn¡¯t the first time such a thing had happened, Ye Tianjing didn¡¯t have a girlfriend, and Ye Tianjiao was often not at home, so... ¡°Alright, text me the address later.¡± The minute she hung up, Jun Mochan¡¯s call came in. ¡°Awake?¡± With a soft voice like a breeze, Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes curved: ¡°Yeah, just woke up, about to head out.¡± ¡°Did you remember that your husband hadn¡¯t had his lunch and plan to treat me to a loving lunch or something?¡± ¡°In your dreams, didn¡¯t I already paid my dues last night?¡± Ye Ranran straightens her shirt collar, careful not to reveal any traces from inside. ¡°Hehe.¡± Upon hearing the triumph in his chuckle, Ye Ranran couldn¡¯t help but retort: ¡°Aren¡¯t you very busy? How come you have free time now to make a call?¡± ¡°Always have time when missing my wife, curious about your plans for this afternoon.¡± Ye Ranran ignored his previous half sentence: ¡°What plans could I have? I lost my job, naturally have to look for a new one, or should I wait for you to support me?¡± ¡°I¡¯d be delighted. You just wait everyday for me to come home from work, isn¡¯t that perfect?¡± ¡°Perfect my foot, do you think you¡¯re an emperor from ancient times? I am hanging up.¡± Ye Ranran hung up arrogantly. ¡°Let the driver take you home, come find me at the company after your interview.¡± ¡°No, I have a dinner party tonight.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s breath changed, and over the phone, Ye Ranran could feel the sense of danger: ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand, it¡¯s my brother, I¡¯m purely there to help.¡± Ye Tianjing? ¡°Ah Chuan, quickly look up Ye Tianjing¡¯s whereabouts tonight. Also, see what Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han are up to.¡± Upon hanging up, Jun Mochan immediately ordered. ¡°Yes sir, but isn¡¯t there someone already watching Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han?¡± Seeing Jun Mochan¡¯s indifferent expression, Ah Chuan immediately shut up: ¡°I¡¯ll go right away.¡± The CEO really worries about his wife, and even after winning her heart, he continued to worry. When Ye Ranran quit her job, she had already started posting resumes online and had arranged an interview time yesterday. By the time she went in today, they said they¡¯ve already hired someone. The same was true when she went to another company. Ye Ranran was a bit annoyed, was her bad luck still not over? Just as she was about to return, Ye Tianjing¡¯s text message arrived, sending her the address of the dinner. Ye Ranran looked at the time, it was already three o¡¯clock, the dinner party started at six, she could just go home to put on makeup and change into a dress. Just as she got into the car, Ye Ranran suddenly remembered that she had thrown all her dinner dresses, so she had to ask the driver to turn around to the nearby mall. Just as she finished changing into the dress and was about to go out, a familiar voice came to her ears: ¡°Han, I want that dress.¡± What the heck, why do I bump into Ye Tianjiao everywhere? That¡¯s so annoying. Ye Tianjiao also noticed Ye Ranran standing at the dressing room door and ran over enthusiastically: ¡°Sister.¡± Ye Ranran gave her a cold look and replied sarcastically: ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Such a bad fate. Chapter 39 - 39 039 Sisters Have the Same Taste_1 ?39: Chapter 039: Sisters Have the Same Taste_1 39: Chapter 039: Sisters Have the Same Taste_1 ¡°What a coincidence, you also chose this one. It¡¯s the one I just mentioned earlier. Our sisterly taste is indeed alike.¡± Ye Tianjiao said, laden with deeper meaning. Initially, Ye Ranran wanted to see how this dress would look on her. But upon hearing this, she decisively turned around, went back, and took off the dress. ¡°I don¡¯t want it anymore.¡± Ye Ranran returned the dress to the attendant standing nearby. Tears welled up in Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes: ¡°Sis.¡± ¡°Ye Ranran, what has Tianjiao upset you about this time?¡± The voice of Gao Han was like a wind from the arctic, piercingly cold. This was what he looked like when he was extremely angry. Ye Ranran sneered lightly, ¡°She didn¡¯t upset me. Did I say anything wrong just now? I¡¯m just expressing that I don¡¯t want to wear the same clothes as someone else.¡± ¡°Oh yes, I forgot, my sister is so generous. Not only can you share clothes, you can even share men. But rest assured, I have a phobia for used goods, I definitely won¡¯t use anything anyone else has.¡± These words, filled with innuendos and intended meanings, could easily be the plot of a blockbuster drama, with a little mental embellishment. Off to the side, the attendant¡¯s eyes blazed with glorious gossip, forgetting even the customers who were entering the shop. Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes were full of resentment, as though she had suffered a great injustice. Gao Han¡¯s face changed to an extremly dark shade. Knowing him as Ye Ranran did, if not for the presence of others, he might have slapped her. ¡°You guys continue, I¡¯ll step away first.¡± Ye Ranran, having read the expressions on everyone¡¯s faces, left with a brilliant smile. Watching Ye Ranran¡¯s retreating figure, a glint of resentment passed through Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes. She would like to see how long Ye Ranran could remain self-satisfied. After leaving the shop where Ye Tianjiao was, a cheerful Ye Ranran entered an entirely different shop, selecting a beige, off shoulder dress that cinched her waist. While preparing to leave, she spotted a silver-grey suit. ¡°Please bring that suit over for me to see,¡± Ye Ranran ordered, pointing at the suit on a model. ¡°Miss, you¡¯ve got great taste. This is our newest arrival,¡± an assistant praised. Jun Mochan always wore tailormade suits, so Ye Ranran hesitated, wondering if he would like this pre-made one. ¡°Madam, this suit is our latest offering, company-wide, only a few hundred have been produced. I¡¯m sure your boyfriend would love it,¡± the assistant promoted fervently. Upon hearing that a few hundred of these suits were produced, Ye Ranran immediately lost interest. Imagining Jun Mochan meeting someone who was wearing the same suit... ¡°Nevermind.¡± Having applied her make-up and changed into the dress, Ye Ranran called Ye Tianjing to pick her up. Ye Tianjing had driven her to work before, in a car worth over a hundred thousand yuan. Attending a high society event, he naturally couldn¡¯t drive that modest car. A Jaguar stopped in front of Ye Ranran. The window rolled down, revealing Ye Tianjing¡¯s face. ¡°Bro,¡± Ye Ranran greeted as she climbed into the car. Ye Tianjing looked at her for a while, noticing the slight smile that brightened her face, ¡°Hmmm, you feeling better?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine now.¡± Ye Ranran looked out the window. Ye Tianjing started the car, ¡°Yeah. This banquet is organized by Mr. Xie, held in a mansion that belongs to him.¡± ¡°Bro, you wouldn¡¯t have sold out your sister, would you?¡± The mention of Mr. Xie brought to mind a potential marital alliance. Ye Tianjing asked in confusion, ¡°Why would you say that? What happened?¡± From his response, it seemed he didn¡¯t know about the Ye Family¡¯s intended marriage alliance with the Xie Family. Maybe the Xie family had given up on the idea of a marital alliance, given that they had been dealing with their own troubles recently? Chapter 40 - 40 040 Trapped_1 ?40: Chapter 040: Trapped_1 40: Chapter 040: Trapped_1 With such thoughts, Ye Ranran¡¯s heart was slightly at ease: ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s just a joke.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, no matter what, your elder brother will never harm you, I couldn¡¯t help last time because...¡± ¡°I know, you don¡¯t have to say more.¡± When Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to bring it up, Ye Tianjing didn¡¯t push the matter further. The high society¡¯s banquet was filled with beautiful ladies, fine wines, exquisite foods, and dances. After dancing with Ye Tianjing, Ye Ranran sat in a corner and ate. Except for a couple of egg tarts she had for lunch, she hadn¡¯t eaten anything else and was already hungry. Just when she was enjoying her meal, she suddenly felt a burning gaze centered on her. Ye Ranran suspected she was imagining things. She lifted her head and searched around, finally spotting a man who was even more graceful than a peach tree flower, his narrow, peach blossom eyes were looking at her with great interest. His gaze was uncomfortable, as if he was eyeing his prey. Seeing Ye Ranran lifting her head, the man walked towards her: ¡°Ranran.¡± ¡°How did you know my name?¡± Ye Ranran looked at him cautiously. ¡°Xie Yuan.¡± So, he is Mr. Xie? Ye Ranran¡¯s caution didn¡¯t lessen but instead grew. Ye Ranran looked at Xie Yuan as if looking at a ferocious tiger, which made Xie Yuan laugh: ¡°You¡¯re scared of me?¡± He casually picked up a drink and clinked glasses with Ye Ranran: ¡°Come, have a drink.¡± ¡°Sister.¡± Ye Tianjiao suddenly emerged from a corner. Ye Ranran picked up a juice from the table and drank a gulp hastily, before putting it down heavily: ¡°Okay, you guys chat.¡± ¡°Sister, why are you in such a hurry, where are you planning to go?¡± Ye Tianjiao blocked Ye Ranran¡¯s way. Gao Han followed behind Ye Tianjiao, acting faithfully as a bodyguard, his gaze slightly warning Ye Ranran. Fearing that she would say anything to provoke Ye Tianjiao. ¡°What does it have to do with you where I go?¡± Ye Ranran retorted. Ye Tianjiao turned pale, apparently shocked: ¡°I, I was just worried about you.¡± ¡°Am I interrupting your good times with Mr. Xie? I, I didn¡¯t mean to, you did mention before that you don¡¯t like Mr. Xie.¡± He is trying to incite hate towards her, isn¡¯t he! Ye Ranran snorted coldly, pushing him aside and moving forward. Ye Tianjiao came over again: ¡°If sister doesn¡¯t want to see me, I¡¯ll go away, I really didn¡¯t mean to do it.¡± Asking for a beating, right? Ye Ranran looked at Ye Tianjiao sarcastically: ¡°There¡¯s such a large banquet here, why do you have to stick around me, Ye Tianjiao, you just want to sow discord and make my life miserable.¡± ¡°I just saw you here, was happy and wanted to say hi, besides, ever since that incident, you have not forgiven me, I...¡± Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to see Ye Tianjiao¡¯s feigning innocence. She pushed Ye Tianjiao hard to the side: ¡°You¡¯re right, I won¡¯t forgive you, Ye Tianjiao, from childhood till now, how many things you have snatched from me, did I ever rebuke you once?¡± ¡°I would forgive you every time, telling myself that you didn¡¯t mean it, but this time...¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s gaze shifted from Ye Tianjiao to Gao Han¡¯s handsome face: ¡°I will never forgive you both, even if I die.¡± How dare those adulterous couple hope for her forgiveness! From childhood till now, she had been making concessions, enough was enough. After such a big fall, shouldn¡¯t she wise up? Not wanting to stay in the same space with these people any longer, Ye Ranran began to stride away. Suddenly, she felt dizzy, an abnormal source of heat rising from her belly. Her whole body quickly warmed up and became weak. That glass of juice, Ye Ranran felt a sudden chill in her heart. Chapter 41 - 41 041 Mr ?41: Chapter 041: Mr. Jun Saves the Day_1 41: Chapter 041: Mr. Jun Saves the Day_1 But how could that be possible? She saw with her own eyes that Xie Yuan had taken it. ¡°Sister, what¡¯s the matter? Your face is so red.¡± Ye Tianjiao noticed something was wrong with her and stepped forward worriedly. One man, however, was quicker and reached out to support Ye Ranran: ¡°I think she¡¯s drunk, I¡¯ll take her to rest first.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch me.¡± Ye Ranran tried to push him away, but found herself unable to muster any strength. The drug was incredibly strong. Ye Ranran bit her lip hard and the metallic taste of blood in her mouth seemed to give her a bit of her sanity back. She wanted to shout for Ye Tianjing, but when she opened her mouth, all that came out was a whimper. Xie Yuan took her out of the room and brought her into another room. Ye Ranran closed her eyes pretending to be unconscious. Xie Yuan laid her on the bed, pinched her chin and examined her for a moment: ¡°I didn¡¯t want to at first, but playing around is fine too.¡± Go to hell! ¡°Stop pretending, I know you¡¯re conscious.¡± Ye Ranran, forced to open her eyes, glared coldly at Xie Yuan: ¡°Dare to touch me, and my husband Jun Mochan will make you pay.¡± Jun Mochan. Hearing this name, a chill ran down Xie Yuan¡¯s spine, his expression darkening: ¡°Jun Mochan¡¯s woman.¡± Xie Yuan sits on Ye Ranran, Ye Ranran gathers all the strength she¡¯s managed to muster and kicks Xie Yuan. ¡°Uh.¡± Xie Yuan grunts, falling onto the bed. Ye Ranran doesn¡¯t dare to look at him, slides off the bed and, as her legs give way, kneels on the floor. She crawls towards the door with arms and knees, manages to stand up with great effort and opens the door. Footsteps can be heard in the room. Ye Ranran doesn¡¯t dare to linger and runs off as fast as she can manage. Suddenly, she bumps into someone. As she¡¯s about to fall, a pair of strong arms catches her, followed by a familiar scent. Jun Mochan! ¡°You¡¯re finally here.¡± Ye Ranran snuggles safely into his arms. Seeing Ye Ranran¡¯s unusually flushed face and feeling the intense heat radiating from her, Jun Mochan looks grim. ¡°Ah Chuan, find out who is responsible.¡± Leaving those words, Jun Mochan carries Ye Ranran away. As she relaxes, Ye Ranran¡¯s consciousness becomes hazy. ¡°This feels so good.¡± Ye Ranran wraps her arms around Jun Mochan¡¯s neck, nuzzling against him dearly. When her face brushes against his shirt, she feels discomfort and clings tighter to Jun Mochan¡¯s neck, He gently soothes her: ¡°Good girl, we¡¯ll be home soon.¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to go back, those people are not good.¡± ¡°Hmm, they¡¯re not good, shall I teach them a lesson for you?¡± Jun Mochan carries her into the car. The driver discreetly pulls up a soundproof divider and focuses on driving. ¡°It¡¯s so hot.¡± Ye Ranran leans her head against Jun Mochan¡¯s chest, ¡°Hang in there, we¡¯ll be home soon.¡± Jun Mochan grabs her wiggling hand. Chapter 42 - 42 042 Trap_1 ?42: Chapter 042: Trap_1 42: Chapter 042: Trap_1 ¡°It¡¯s so loud.¡± She, unable to move her hand, instinctively used her mouth to silence it. It was refreshing, and Ye Ranran unintentionally deepened the kiss. The gaze of Jun Mochan deepened, one hand placed her hand on his waist, the other clasping the back of her head, making it easier for him to take control. Only when Ye Ranran felt short of breath did Jun Mochan stop. ¡°Mr. President, we¡¯ve arrived.¡± The driver timidly knocked on the window. ¡°So comfortable.¡± Ye Ranran had fully undressed Jun Mochan¡¯s upper body. Unmindful of his image, Jun Mochan picked up Ye Ranran and walked into the house. As soon as he closed the door, Jun Mochan turned around and pushed Ye Ranran against it. ¡°Do you want it?¡± Jun Mochan whispered in Ye Ranran¡¯s ear. Ye Ranran had already melted into a puddle, not knowing what Jun Mochan was saying and instinctively nodding. ¡°You said it.¡± Jun Mochan could not hold back any longer and lowered his head to kiss her. Unbeknownst to them, the drawn curtains concealed the erotic scene within. When she woke up the next day, Ye Ranran was a little dazed. She stared blankly at the ceiling, trying hard to remember what exactly had happened before. ¡°Awake?¡± A lazy voice sounded in her ear. Ye Ranran was so startled she sat up instantly, instinctively covering herself with the blanket. ¡°What? You don¡¯t recognise me after one night?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s expression was unpredictable. The signature grin had disappeared from his face. His enigmatic expression made him look particularly dangerous, yet irresistibly charming. Ye Ranran was unsure of what Jun Mochan was thinking, and weakly defended herself, ¡°Last night, nothing happened between him and me.¡± ¡°I know.¡± And then what? Shouldn¡¯t he comfort her now? Soothe her wounded heart? Why was he acting like a storm was coming? ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the lady explain why she ended up in another man¡¯s bed?¡± His words nearly choked Ye Ranran. ¡°I didn¡¯t. There was something wrong with that juice.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know not to accept drinks from strange men?¡± Was he angry about that? Ye Ranran bit her lip, ¡°Ye Tianjiao came at that time, didn¡¯t I just want to get away quickly?¡± ¡°This whole affair was orchestrated by the Ye Family. They even want you to marry Xie Yuan, and Ye Tianjing was also involved.¡± In other words, this was all a conspiracy, a trap? They all teamed up to deceive her? Chills ran down Ye Ranran¡¯s spine, her eyes filled with frost. This score, must be settled. Ye Ranran got up from the bed, picked up the bathrobe on the floor, put it on and headed for the bathroom. After getting herself together, she stormed out angrily. She ran into Ah Chuan at the door. ¡°Madam.¡± Ye Ranran, seething with anger, walked past him without a second glance. ¡°Mr. President, this...¡± Seeing Jun Mochan, still in his pajamas, standing on the staircase, Ah Chuan cast a worried glance at Ye Ranran. ¡°Let her be. If she doesn¡¯t vent her anger, she might get sick.¡± Jun Mochan looked at the files in his hand, ¡°Did you get what I asked you to do?¡± ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± The Ye¡¯s office building was situated in the busiest area of the city. Ye Tianjiao, the public relations manager of Ye¡¯s, should be at work now. As soon as she left the villa, Ye Ranran headed straight to the Ye¡¯s. ¡°Miss, who are you looking for, do you have an appointment?¡± The receptionist politely asked. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t answer and hurriedly walked ahead. At this moment, the general manager¡¯s office and the PR office of Ye¡¯s were in complete chaos. For some unknown reason, early in the morning, rumors about Ye¡¯s financial shortage were everywhere. Chapter 43 - 43 043 Give Her Two Slaps_1 ?43: Chapter 043: Give Her Two Slaps_1 43: Chapter 043: Give Her Two Slaps_1 Shareholders are demanding to withdraw their investments, clients are demanding to cancel orders, return deposits, or else deliver immediately. ¡°These are all rumors, just rumors.¡± Ye Tianjiao tried hard to explain. But before she had finished speaking, the call was abruptly ended on the other end. ¡°Manager, we have a big problem.¡± The assistant rushed in from outside. Ye Tianjiao yelled angrily, ¡°What else could go wrong? Could it possibly get any worse than it already is?¡± ¡°Just check your computer.¡± The assistant was too scared by Ye Tianjiao¡¯s outburst to continue. ¡°Instead of wasting time browsing the internet, you should be helping me by contacting our customers and convincing them not to cancel orders.¡± ¡°At least those were minor orders. It¡¯s good that the government hasn¡¯t been alerted.¡± Ye Tianjiao rubbed her temples. The assistant quietly pulled out her phone and opened a blog post, placing it in front of Ye Tianjiao: ¡°Manager, take your time to read this.¡± The title of the post read: Exposing the Unrestrained, Immoral Luxuries of The Rich Girl. Below there was a high-resolution photo of her. Underneath the photo were a list of her supposed wrongdoings. She pretended to be well-behaved to win her father¡¯s favor, stole Ye Ranran¡¯s boyfriend, and framed Ye Ranran. The time and place of each event were listed out, with high-definition scandalous photos included. The most explosive revelation was the process and photos of Ye Tianjiao sleeping with Gao Han. This was like a palace drama. ¡°She actually climbed into her brother-in-law¡¯s bed.¡± ¡°And she did it while he was drunk, her tactics, her IQ, they are quite something.¡± ¡°Well, a rich girl needs her tricks to survive, look at her sister, she¡¯s quite pretty but not smart, her position was stolen by a mistress¡¯s daughter.¡± ... Ye Ranran arrived at the tenth floor amidst such discussions. Seeing the sudden presence of the victim, everyone fell instantly silent, all looking at Ye Ranran with strange eyes. Ye Ranran ignored everyone and walked forward, oblivious to their stares. Ye Tianjiao looked at the post, then glanced at the sharp and disparaging comments below. Finally, she screamed, holding her head and yelling: ¡°Ahh.¡± Ye Ranran, who was outside the door, naturally heard it. She didn¡¯t care if Ye Tianjiao was going crazy or not, and pushed the door to go in. ¡°Slap.¡± ¡°This slap is for stealing my boyfriend.¡± Ye Ranran grabbed Ye Tianjiao¡¯s hair, forcing her to raise her face. After hitting her left cheek, she slapped her right cheek: ¡°This slap is for last night.¡± ¡°Ye Ranran,¡± Ye Tianjiao choked Ye Ranran¡¯s neck with both hands, ¡°Why are you always haunting me? Haven¡¯t you gained enough? Can¡¯t you leave me anything?¡± Ye Ranran tugged hard at her hair, oblivious to the pain in her neck: ¡°From childhood to adulthood, what have you not tried to take from me? Even a keychain that I liked, you had to take it. And taking it wasn¡¯t enough¡ªyou had to play innocent.¡± ¡°Ye Tianjiao, don¡¯t you ever feel exhausted living like this?¡± People crowded at the door, watching the two women scuffling, none daring to step forward to intervene. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Ye¡¯s mother pushed through the crowd, saw the entangled two, and hurriedly tried to pull them apart. ¡°Get away.¡± Ye Tianjiao pushed hard, and Ye¡¯s mother hit the corner of the table and fainted. ¡°She fainted.¡± ¡°She¡¯s bleeding.¡± The crowd was in chaos. Ye Tianjiao just stood there, staring blankly, until the paramedics came and lifted her mother onto a stretcher, she still hadn¡¯t reacted. Ye Ranran¡¯s neck was bruised and she had nearly been strangled by Ye Tianjiao, but she was satisfied with the result. Fixing her clothes, Ye Ranran was about to leave when Ye Tianjiao accused her in a fit of frenzy: ¡°Ye Ranran, it¡¯s you! It¡¯s all because of you! You just can¡¯t stand to see me doing well, can you?¡± Chapter 44 - 44 044 The Fierce Ye Ranran_1 ?44: Chapter 044: The Fierce Ye Ranran_1 44: Chapter 044: The Fierce Ye Ranran_1 Looking at the resentment in Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes, Ye Ranran raised her head high like a proud rooster that had won a battle: ¡°That¡¯s right, I can¡¯t stand to see you happy, Ye Tianjiao. When you tried to push me into the fire pit last night, I didn¡¯t plan on letting you off.¡± ¡°You think I¡¯d be scared of your underhanded tactics? Do you really think you can destroy me, or the Ye family? I won¡¯t let you succeed.¡± Ye Ranran enjoyed Ye Tianjiao¡¯s twisted and grotesque expression: ¡°Instead of declaring your intentions here, why don¡¯t you go and see how your mom is doing? Also, if you¡¯ve acted above board and managed things well, my tactics wouldn¡¯t matter, would they?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that there¡¯s nothing inside, and when a storm comes, everything will collapse.¡± Ye Ranran mimicked a crumbling gesture. Without looking at Ye Tianjiao¡¯s face, black as ink, Ye Ranran left with a myriad of grace and charm. Just as she stepped out of the Ye family¡¯s gate, Ye Ranran saw a familiar car. She walked over, opened the car door, and saw the cool and handsome Jun Mochan. The car door¡¯s sound made Jun Mochan look up from inside the car. Seeing Ye Ranran bruised and battered, his eyes became dangerous: ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Just a little fight.¡± Ye Ranran pushed him aside, sitting down next to him. ¡°You¡¯ve quite got guts now, even learning to fight.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s face was unusually cold. ¡°Didn¡¯t you know when I left the house this morning? Surely you didn¡¯t think I was out having tea with Ye Tianjiao?¡± Facing Jun Mochan¡¯s increasingly chilly gaze, Ye Ranran met his eyes without fear. ¡°Despite telling her that I¡¯m married, she still won¡¯t leave me alone. She really thinks I¡¯m afraid of her. If she annoys me, I could cut her down with a single stroke.¡± ¡°I hadn¡¯t realised Madame had such a fierce side.¡± The darkness slowly left Jun Mochan¡¯s face, returning to its usual warmth. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m fierce. Just figuring it out now? Too late.¡± Looking at the bruises on her neck, Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes revealed his pain: ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to the hospital.¡± Ye Ranran protested fiercely. Jun Mochan¡¯s face immediately darkened: ¡°What are you playing at?¡± Ye Ranran covered her neck with both hands: ¡°I¡¯m not going to the hospital. Do you want everyone to know I¡¯ve just been in a fight? Don¡¯t you care about your reputation?¡± Knowing her concerns, Jun Mochan smiled helplessly: ¡°Ye Ranran, after the fighting, isn¡¯t it a bit late for you to worry about saving face?¡± ¡°I¡¯m trying to save your face right now.¡± ¡°Fine, let¡¯s go home. I¡¯ll get the family doctor to take a look at you.¡± As a scion of a powerful family, Jun Mochan naturally had his own private doctor, who was currently on a few days leave. Now, it seemed necessary to call him back ahead of time. Private doctors are people too. Ye Ranran was about to refuse again, but facing Jun Mochan¡¯s calm yet dangerous gaze, she knew better than to voice her objection. ¡°What happened that it¡¯s this serious?¡± The family doctor asked, continuously gauging Jun Mochan. Jun Mochan¡¯s face darkened at seeing the doctor¡¯s surprising, almost terrified expression. Before he could say anything, Ye Ranran interrupted: ¡°Why are you looking at him? I did this to myself. My wrist hurts too, oh, and also my knee.¡± Her wrist injury was from before and the knee was from just now. If he¡¯s come all the way here, he might as well treat everything. ¡°I really don¡¯t understand you people. Can¡¯t you live a normal life? Why do you like torturing yourselves?¡± The doctor shook his head whilst applying medication to Ye Ranran¡¯s wounds. Chapter 45 - 45 045 Told You Youre Clumsy_1 ?45: Chapter 045: Told You You¡¯re Clumsy_1 45: Chapter 045: Told You You¡¯re Clumsy_1 ¡°Do you think I want to do this? Wouldn¡¯t I be uncomfortable if I didn¡¯t?¡± Ye Ranran was talking about disciplining some jerk, unaware of how suggestive her words sounded. Seeing the doctor looking at her as if she were a major freak, Jun Mochan feared that the next second the doctor would suggest sending her to a mental hospital, he quickly interrupted: ¡°Alright, hurry up and check her. Can¡¯t you see her neck is swollen?¡± Ye Ranran gave Jun Mochan a very resentful look. He was heartless, unkind, and unreasonable! After the doctor checked Ye Ranran thoroughly, he found that other than some minor external injuries, there was nothing seriously wrong. ¡°Apply some blood-cooling and bruise-dissipating ointment, and you¡¯ll be fine in two or three days.¡± The doctor took out a bottle of ointment from the medical box. Ye Ranran took it, her pretty eyebrows frowning at the smell of the Chinese medicine. ¡°By the way, don¡¯t use a rope to bind yourself in the next few days, and don¡¯t use it anymore in the future. The herbal ingredients needed for my ointment are numerous, and it¡¯s quite problematic to make, so... ¡± ¡°Ah Chuan, take him out.¡± Ah Chuan, following Jun Mochan¡¯s orders, covered the doctor¡¯s mouth and forcefully dragged him out. Ye Ranran was confused: ¡°What did he mean by his last sentence? Binding myself with a rope? I¡¯m not sick.¡± How innocent his wife was! Jun Mochan nodded, patting her head: ¡°Don¡¯t think too much, he¡¯s the one who¡¯s sick.¡± ¡°Oh, I know a good psychologist. I¡¯ll introduce him to the doctor later. I heard that doctors usually have a lot of stress. I can understand that, but if it¡¯s more severe, he might have to be sent to a mental hospital. You should be careful and pay more attention.¡± ¡°You talk too much, let me help you apply the medicine first.¡± Jun Mochan took the ointment from her hand. Ye Ranran was annoyed by his casual attitude: ¡°He¡¯s your employee after all, can¡¯t you show some concern?¡± ¡°Mrs. Jun, I have so many employees, how can I care about all of them? Caring about you is enough.¡± Jun Mochan lifted her chin and looked into her eyes deeply. His face slowly moved closer to hers. ¡°What... what are you trying to do?¡± Ye Ranran glanced at the servants and Ah Chuan nearby. Everyone is watching, be mindful. ¡°Apply medicine for you, what else?¡± Jun Mochan released his hand and his gaze shifted to Ye Ranran¡¯s neck. Seeing the bruise there, a storm brewed slowly in Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes. He pursed his lips before gently applying the medicine to Ye Ranran¡¯s neck. ¡°Don¡¯t take such risks in the future. Those clowns aren¡¯t worth it, I won¡¯t let them jump around for long.¡± He somewhat blamed her in his words, subtly mixed with anger, but his actions were gentle, as if afraid of hurting Ye Ranran. Knowing that she was in the wrong, Ye Ranran remained silent. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Realized your mistake? Will you still be so reckless in the future? Aren¡¯t you scared of being strangled?¡± Ye Ranran looked at him resentfully once more. ¡°Enough, let¡¯s not talk about this. Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han are not loyal people. To deal with them, can¡¯t you just send beautiful women and men to their beds?¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s a great idea! Why didn¡¯t I think of that?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you believe it when I say you¡¯re a blockhead?¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± After applying the medicine, Jun Mochan put a laptop in front of Ye Ranran: ¡°Okay, look for suitable candidates.¡± ¡°Are all these people recruited by you?¡± Ye Ranran admired him. Her husband was indeed versatile, even owning such a distinctive workforce. Chapter 46 - 46 046 Rebellion Within _1 ?46: Chapter 046: Rebellion Within _1 46: Chapter 046: Rebellion Within _1 ¡°I can¡¯t spend so much money to maintain them. These are sent by special business contacts, as long as the job is done, they get paid.¡± As Ye Ranran¡¯s mouse swiftly moved across, she asked: ¡°Is any of it illegal?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not ****, what¡¯s illegal about it? It¡¯s a normal transaction.¡± Jun Mochan grabbed Ye Ranran¡¯s hand, stopping the mouse; ¡°This one, she¡¯s pretty attractive.¡± With her fair skin and stunning beauty, Ye Ranran applauded: ¡°Not bad, she¡¯s the one. Who would have thought, Mr. Jun has a good eye.¡± ¡°How else could I have found you and made you my wife?¡± Conceited, shameless. Ye Ranran gave him a derisive glance, yet her face subtly reddened. ¡°Don¡¯t blush just yet, we need to choose a handsome guy for Ye Tianjiao.¡± Looking at the screen full of handsome men, Ye Ranran felt a little overwhelmed, her lips slightly lifted: ¡°How long do you think it will take for them to realize the other one is cheating?¡± ¡°As long as I think about dogs biting dogs, I¡¯m extremely happy.¡± ¡°This is called in-fighting!¡± Pedantic, pretending to be cultured! Ye Ranran gave him a contemptuous glance, pointing a finger at the central image on the computer screen:¡± This one, Ye Tianjiao likes this type.¡± This girl is getting bolder and bolder. Jun Mochan arched his eyebrows, didn¡¯t say anything, but felt a bit pleased at heart. Ye Ranran has been more and more open in front of him, could this mean she¡¯s slowly accepting him? After finalizing the choices, the meal was also ready. After eating and taking a shower, Ye Ranran sat on her bed reading a fashion magazine. ¡°By the way, how is Xie Yuan? ¡°Ye Ranran put down the magazine and looked at Jun Mochan who came out of the bathroom. Jun Mochan sat down next to her: ¡°My dear, should you be concerned about another man this late in the evening?¡± ¡°Why...¡± Just as Ye Ranran was about to retort, she was unable to utter another word as Jun Mochan was looking at her quietly, his gaze as deep as the sea, capable of drowning anyone with just a glance. ¡°I kicked him in that place last night. Even though his life is not threatened, it will still be painful for a few days.¡± ¡°No wonder Xie Yuan was rushing off to see a doctor last night. Turns out it was my wife¡¯s misdeed.¡± Mochan¡¯s eyes darkened, a wisp of anger seeping out. Anyone who messes with his people should not expect him to be polite. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to sleep, it¡¯s late.¡± Jun Mochan pinched Ye Ranran¡¯s cheek. Feels nice to the touch. She¡¯s full of injuries. Even if he wanted to get intimate, Jun Mochan didn¡¯t dare to. Of course, Ye Ranran knew this. Also, her neck was sore, crippling her movements, she nodded and laid down. Jun Mochan still had some files to deal with. After an unknown amount of time, Ye Ranran felt a dip in the bed next to her, followed by a source of warmth nearing her. When she woke up the next day, Jun Mochan was already gone. After having breakfast, Ye Ranran continued to apply for jobs online. Although Jun Mochan said he could support her, she didn¡¯t want to rely on him. After applying to several companies, there weren¡¯t any good ones left. Hence, Ye Ranran decided to go shopping. Having received such help from Jun Mochan for so long, she ought to thank him properly, right? She couldn¡¯t afford anything too expensive and felt too embarrassed to gift anything too cheap. Therefore, she decided to crochet a sweater. The only problem was, she didn¡¯t know Jun Mochan¡¯s height, weight or measurements. Embarrassed, Ye Ranran could only send a text message to Ah Chuan. Ah Chuan was reporting work to Jun Mochan; only after Jun Mochan finished replying, did he pick up his phone. Chapter 47 - 47 047 The Little Joys Between Husband and Wife_1 ?47: Chapter 047: The Little Joys Between Husband and Wife_1 47: Chapter 047: The Little Joys Between Husband and Wife_1 ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Upon seeing Ah Chuan, who turned around after taking a few steps, Jun Mochan¡¯s smile faded. ¡°Is there something you didn¡¯t understand from what I just said?¡± ¡°Not that, the mistress asked for your height, weight and three measurements.¡± Ah Chuan quickly raised his mobile and confessed. Jun Mochan¡¯s last hint of smile disappeared: ¡°You know how to respond, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°The mistress should rather ask the president.¡± Ah Chuan typed quickly, after sending, he let Jun Mochan check it. Jun Mochan nodded contently: ¡°That¡¯s all. You can leave. If the mistress needs you, inform me immediately.¡± Thinking for a moment, Jun Mochan added the last sentence. Ye Ranran, looking at her mobile, widened her eyes in shock; he, as Jun Mochan¡¯s special assistant, actually did not know. ¡°So incompetent.¡± Looking at the text message, Ah Chuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was not that he did not know, he could not reveal it. This husband and wife could play their little secrets, just don¡¯t drag him into it. ¡°Ah Chuan doesn¡¯t know, I can only figure it out myself, let¡¯s buy the fabric first.¡± Ye Ranran picked up her mobile. Regular stores did not sell fabrics, only custom-made tailor shops had them. It so happened that Ye Ranran knew of a good shop. The only risk was that members of the Ye Residence often got their clothes tailored there. She surely wouldn¡¯t be that unlucky, would she? After some thought, Ye Ranran decided to go. The shop was located in the city center, right behind Ye Corporation. It was not large, but it was lavishly decorated. Meticulously tailored suits and dresses filled the shop. ¡°Welcome.¡± As soon as Ye Ranran entered, the shop assistant greeted her. ¡°May I assist you with anything?¡± Ye Ranran scanned the shop: ¡°I want to buy fabric, bring me the best and most expensive one.¡± ¡°Buy fabric?¡± The assistant thought she heard wrong and asked again. ¡°Yes, fabric. I need a lot, something long, a bit more expensive is fine.¡± Ye Ranran emphasized. Although she found this customer peculiar, for buying fabric instead of tailoring clothes, the assistant did not ask more and brought out all the fabrics. Ye Ranran picked out a silver-white one, figuring it would suit Jun Mochan. She paid for the fabric and was just about to leave when she heard her father¡¯s voice behind her: ¡°Ye Ranran.¡± What she feared had come to pass. ¡°Father.¡± Before turning around, Ye Ranran had already put on her brightest smile. ¡°So, you still consider me your father? Tell me, what on earth have you been up to?¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s father slammed the table next to him in anger. Hearing the dull thud, Ye Ranran knew he was putting his all into this ¨C his anger must be at its peak. Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes filled with resentment: ¡°Father, we¡¯re both your daughters, but your favoritism is just too blatant.¡± ¡°Come out with me.¡± Seeing the resentment in Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes made her father even more furious. So she did, Ye Ranran followed her father out. ¡°Get in the car.¡± Knowing he did not want to quarrel in public, Ye Ranran obediently got in the car. The moment Ye Ranran opened the car door, the driver had dialed Jun Mochan¡¯s number. Upon receiving the call, Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes were immediately filled with anger. These people actually still had the audacity to cause trouble for Ye Ranran, that was just splendid. ¡°Ah Chuan, send the previous investigation to the government, along with the names of the suppliers. Also, send the quotation to Ye Corporation.¡± Chapter 48 - 48 048 Revenge_1 ?48: Chapter 048: Revenge_1 48: Chapter 048: Revenge_1 ¡°As for Xie Yuan¡¯s side, release the photos we took earlier to the media, and as per our previous plan, secretly acquire a portion of their shares.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s leave it at that for now. Oh yes, didn¡¯t Xie Yuan just hire an image spokesperson? Take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from that angle.¡± Jun Mochan was pumping out commands one after the other, all of them related to Ye Ranran. Ah Chuan had started to break out in cold sweat. Starting from today, he¡¯d rather offend the boss than the lady boss herself. ¡°Get these done first. I need to go out for a while, you don¡¯t need to follow me.¡± Jun Mochan picked up his clothes from the table and strode away. Ye Tianjiao and Ye Ranran entered the Ye Residence. Despite it being a place Ye Ranran had grown up in, she couldn¡¯t help but shudder upon reentering. Who could have thought, one day, she would dread setting foot in the place she grew up in. ¡°Are you satisfied only when you¡¯ve left our home and everyone in ruins?¡± Ye Tianjiao broke the silence, his words leaving Ye Ranran in a bewildered state. Finding this absolutely hilarious, an added sense of resentment glinted in Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes: ¡°Are you satisfied only when you¡¯ve destroyed me?¡± ¡°What do you mean by that? When have I ever neglected you? Haven¡¯t you always had your way in everything? Can¡¯t you forgive your sister just once?¡± Ye Ranran smirked cynically, ¡°Dad, haven¡¯t you been keeping up with the news recently? Leave alone distant events, take the recent one for instance, despite the fact that she made her way to Gao Han¡¯s bed, they blame it on me. I can still forgive her for that, but using a child to frame me? ¡°She shouldn¡¯t have, she shouldn¡¯t have planned and schemed only to trick me into Xie Yuan¡¯s bed.¡± At this point, she took a deep breath, quickly calming her raging emotions, to keep herself from shouting out: ¡°I can forgive all that, but she should have never plotted against me to land me in Xie Yuan¡¯s bed.¡± ¡°You should have researched about him, you knew what kind of man he is, didn¡¯t you? Or did you just sell me to the highest bidder without bothering to know anything about him?¡± At this moment, the fury in Ye Ranran had reached its climax: ¡°If y¡¯all are so ruthless, don¡¯t blame me for behaving heartlessly in return. You pushed me to a dead end, I owe you no compassion. I¡¯m going to make you pay, one by one, till your lives crumble.¡± The panther-like gaze, the distorted face, at that moment, Ye Ranran resembled a demon straight out of hell. ¡°You, you...you are trying to make me die of anger!¡± Ye Tianjiao clutched his chest, looking as if he had been seriously infuriated. ¡°Stop pretending. You don¡¯t have a heart condition,¡± Ye Ranran said coldly, not moved in the slightest by his antics. Ye Tianjiao¡¯s face turned pale, ¡°Tianjiao¡¯s child is gone, your mother is still in the hospital, we are having problems with the company, and instead of helping, you¡¯re just standing by and watching. The Ye Family doesn¡¯t need a daughter like you.¡± Ye Ranran nodding her head in acceptance, seeming completely indifferent, ¡°Well, I don¡¯t want to have relatives like you either.¡± ¡°Thinks she¡¯s all grown-up! Planning to fly the coop, aren¡¯t you?¡± Ye Tianjiao slammed the table and attempted to stand, however barely could, and flopped back into the sofa. Ye Ranran glanced at him upon hearing his words, clearly having no intention of helping him up, ¡°Be careful, if you die here, I won¡¯t save you.¡± Ye Tianjiao was so furious he was lost for words. ¡°Oh, by the way, hearing about Tianjiao¡¯s child brought me so much joy. Now if you¡¯ll excuse me, I have to go.¡± ¡°Oh, and don¡¯t come begging for my help when the Ye Family is in trouble, I definitely will stand by and let it crumble!¡± Having said that, Ye Ranran turned to leave. ¡°You think that marrying Jun Mochan makes you superior? Do you think that coz you managed to tie the knot with him you are forever safe and sound? Do you even know where he comes from? Do you know his background?¡± Chapter 49 - 49 049 Let her take the measurements up close_1 ?49: Chapter 049: Let her take the measurements up close_1 49: Chapter 049: Let her take the measurements up close_1 ¡°Nobody in A City knows where he came from, who his parents are. Have you never thought of doubting him?¡± Ye Ranran was firm and calm, ¡°So what? All I need to know is that he is good to me.¡± ¡°Just wait for the day he kicks you out.¡± Ye Ranran scoffed, ¡°We¡¯ll see when the time comes. I bet you won¡¯t live to see that day.¡± Her father¡¯s lips trembled, his face ashen as he watched Ye Ranran walk out the door. Just outside the Ye Residence, a familiar Range Rover pulled up in front of Ye Ranran. Jun Mochan hurriedly got out of the car. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Seeing his worried look, Ye Ranran threw herself into his arms with such force that he had to take several steps back. ¡°Did someone bully you?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s tone was icy, with an underlying hint of murderous intent. It seems he had been too lenient with them. ¡°Not at all.¡± Ye Ranran pulled away from him. Jun Mochan narrowed his eyes, ¡°What¡¯s going on then?¡± ¡°I missed you. By the way, why are you here?¡± Ye Ranran tried to change the subject. She couldn¡¯t help but rush into his arms when she saw his worried expression and caring tone earlier. ¡°Is this what you bought today?¡± Jun Mochan ignored her question. Upon noticing the piece of cloth in her hand, his mood seemed to brighten. ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Ranran hid the cloth behind her back. Jun Mochan didn¡¯t expose her little play. They got in the car and headed back to the villa. ¡°So, what size clothes do you normally wear?¡± Ye Ranran asked casually, standing at the doorway to his study. ¡°Don¡¯t you already know what size I wear?¡± Jun Mochan didn¡¯t look up as he responded. Ye Ranran turned and started to walk away, causing Jun Mochan to halt his movements, his eyes flickering with panic. Just as he was about to get up, Ye Ranran rushed back in. Jun Mochan casually lowered his head again, returning to his computer. ¡°Come, stand up, I need to take your measurements.¡± Ye Ranran brought out a measuring tape, gesturing it towards Jun Mochan. Jun Mochan obediently stood up. His towering figure instantly overshadowed Ye Ranran, exerting an overwhelming presence. Ye Ranran instinctively took two steps back. Jun Mochan advanced two steps, cornering her between himself and the desk. In the small space and quiet environment, Ye Ranran could hear her own rapid heartbeat. Thumping, thumping¡ªit was about to burst out of her chest. ¡°Just taking your measurement...¡± ¡°I know that. You wanted me to stand up, didn¡¯t you? I¡¯m just doing as you asked, am I not?¡± Jun Mochan looked at her innocently. ¡°Then stand still.¡± Ye Ranran looked up at him. Jun Mochan leaned forward with his hands on the desk, almost face to face with Ye Ranran ¡°I just think you¡¯re measuring it wrong.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it? Everyone measures this way. Besides, I have checked it out, and...¡± Before Ye Ranran could finish her sentence, Jun Mochan silenced her by covering her mouth, his hand sneaking under her clothes. Ye Ranran propped her hands against his chest, trying to create distance between them, ¡°What are you doing? I haven¡¯t taken your measurements yet.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this making it easier for you to measure?¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± She felt like she had been tricked again. When she woke up the next day, Jun Mochan was gone again. He seemed to be busy these days. Ye Ranran lay on the bed for a while before sitting upright, an idea striking her. God, she was such an idiot! There are clothes in the closet. Couldn¡¯t she just have measured those? Chapter 50 - 50 050 Consumed to Death _1 ?50: Chapter 050: Consumed to Death _1 50: Chapter 050: Consumed to Death _1 ¡°So stupid, no wonder you¡¯re being fooled by the others.¡± Ye Ranran covered her face. After some self-blaming, Ye Ranran finally got up from the bed and habitually checked her phone, but there were no incoming calls. She was dispirited. Why hadn¡¯t anyone called her? That just didn¡¯t make sense. ¡°Mr. President, the new acquisition proposal of S.Z Magazine has been revised. Please review it.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Jun Mochan took the proposal from Ah Chuan. ¡°By the way, Xie Yuan is being discharged from the hospital today.¡± Jun Mochan paused while flipping through the proposal: ¡°That¡¯s something to be happy about. Send him the gift I¡¯ve prepared. Also, keep an eye on Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The unemployed Ye Ranran left her bedroom after eating and dived right into the vacant room next door. She temporarily used this room as her studio. When Jun Mochan returned, he saw Ye Ranran busily working. She was wearing a long white dress, half squatting amid a pile of scraps of fabric, her skirt spread out like a blooming flower. She made a few cuts, then measured a couple times. The warm light shone on her, adding a gentle glow to her figure. The fuzziness added a touch of unreal beauty. Jun Mochan felt a soft feeling in his heart. Tired from squatting, Ye Ranran stretched her neck, then was surprised to see Jun Mochan at the door. ¡°When did you come back?¡± In a flurry, she quickly tidied up the materials on the floor, wrapped them in cloth and pushed them aside. Pretending that he hadn¡¯t seen it, Jun Mochan pulled her up, moved the stray threads of her hair behind her ear: ¡°Clean up a bit, we¡¯re going out.¡± ¡°Is it a social engagement? Do I need to attend?¡± ¡°No, you¡¯ll know when we get there.¡± Ye Ranran stopped the question on the tip of her tongue. If it wasn¡¯t a social engagement, she wouldn¡¯t need to dress up too formally, right? The car stopped in front of a spectacular bridal shop, which was even more beautifully decorated than the one they¡¯d been to before. A huge crystal chandelier made the wedding dresses below it sparkle. Ye Ranran touched the scarf around her neck: ¡°Jun Mochan, you did this on purpose, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Madam, mind your address, and also, your bruises are almost healed. Even if there are some, others won¡¯t associate them with your fight.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± After hearing this, Ye Ranran felt relieved. This bridal shop was different from the previous one, or perhaps Jun Mochan had given instructions in advance. Otherwise, why were all the wedding dresses they presented so modestly designed? The most revealing ones only exposed the collarbone. ¡°This... is this really a wedding dress?¡± Ye Ranran looked at Jun Mochan with a distressed look in her eyes. ¡°Yes, it is. I had them prepared for you, dozens of them. Pick whichever you like. Also, I had them make these dresses. Try them on once you¡¯ve made your choice. If they don¡¯t fit well, we¡¯ll have them adjusted.¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡±, there¡¯s no respect for human rights, is there? In the end, Ye Ranran chose a sleeveless dress that exposed her collarbones. It was a bit sexy with a long skirt. On the back were petals embroidered by hand. At a glance, it seemed as if flowers were spread all over the floor. ¡°If a breeze blew, the petals would sway. It would surely look beautiful,¡± said the shop assistant, unable to hide her jealousy. Ye Ranran looked at herself in the mirror. Her big eyes sparkled with anticipation of her new life. Her small, radiant face, as white as jade, was delicate and exquisite. Ye Ranran¡¯s lips curved up in a smile as she spun around, facing Jun Mochan: ¡°Do I look good?¡± Chapter 51 - 51 051 Trying on the Wedding Dress_1 ?51: Chapter 051: Trying on the Wedding Dress_1 51: Chapter 051: Trying on the Wedding Dress_1 ¡°Beautiful.¡± Jun Mochan stood across from her, with a gentle gaze and an attentive expression. His eyes reflected two tiny images of Ye Ranran. No other person existed in that moment. Ye Ranran blushed and quickly turned to look into the mirror. ¡°Miss, you¡¯re so pretty, and your husband is very handsome.¡± The shop assistant cast a knowing glance at the marks on Ye Ranran¡¯s neck, her voice brimming with envy. Even though Ye Ranran was beautiful, Jun Mochan was truly handsome¡ªelegant and noble. Even television stars couldn¡¯t compare with him. Not to mention his wealth and talents. One would have to save the galaxy several times over to marry such a man. ¡°Mr. Jun, earlier the shop assistant was staring at you without blinking, and the people around were also sneaking glances at you. What do you feel about that?¡± After trying on the wedding dress, Ye Ranran and Jun Mochan got in the car to go back to the villa. Ah Chuan, who was driving, put on his earphones and listened to music quietly. Seeing Ye Ranran¡¯s stern expression, Jun Mochan pinched her cheek: ¡°Is the Mrs. jealous? Rest assured, your husband belongs to you, both in body and in heart.¡± Shameless, Ye Ranran thought, her face reddening in silence. ¡°The rings and wedding dress will take some time. Once we have them, we¡¯ll pick a good day and hold our wedding.¡± The moment she heard the word ¡®wedding,¡¯ Ye Ranran thought of her father¡¯s words. They had been married for so long, but Jun Mochan hadn¡¯t mentioned taking her to meet his parents. ¡°Jun Mochan, you told me before that you needed a wife, why is that?¡± Ye Ranran finally gathered the courage to ask the question that had been on her mind. His family must be pushing him to get married and he didn¡¯t want to marry for connections, so he needed a wife, right? But after all this time she still hadn¡¯t met his parents, let alone faced any familial pressure, blind dates, and the like. ¡°What if I say, I needed a wife like you, would you believe me?¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t.¡± A little helpless, Jun Mochan said, ¡°See, don¡¯t overthink. I promised I wouldn¡¯t betray you. As for some things, you¡¯ll know in time.¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t want to say more, Ye Ranran didn¡¯t ask. His parents might be as worthless as her own for all she knew. Having or not having such parents hardly made a difference. She didn¡¯t bother about this little hitch. Jun Mochan saw that she didn¡¯t really blame him and was relieved. He focused on punishing the undesirables instead. ¡°President, are we really not telling the old residence about this? They¡¯re going to know sooner or later. And as for the madam¡¯s side...¡± ¡°What¡¯s my marriage got to do with them? I won¡¯t let Ranran get hurt. How are things with the Ye family?¡± Knowing that Jun Mochan had made up his mind to keep Ye Ranran in the dark, Ah Chuan wisely dropped the subject. ¡°The Ye family received the quotation list and they¡¯re in contact with the other party. As soon as they start using those materials, the aftermath...¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they will certainly use them.¡± Jun Mochan reassured. Meanwhile, Ye Ranran looked at her finished product very satisfied. As a designer, she naturally knew how to make clothes, but this was the first time she was making clothes for a man. Checking the time and finding it was still early, Ye Ranran decided to deliver the clothes to Jun Mochan herself. No matter how true his feelings for her were, since he was good to her, she would also be good to him. When Ye Ranran arrived, Jun Mochan was in a meeting. Not wanting to bother Jun Mochan, Ye Ranran could only wait inside his office. Having surveyed Jun Mochan¡¯s office before, Ye Ranran was no longer interested in exploring further. Bored, she turned on Jun Mochan¡¯s computer intending to check the news. However, when she saw the screen saver on it, she was stunned. Chapter 52 - 52 052 Do You Miss Him_1 ?52: Chapter 052: Do You Miss Him_1 52: Chapter 052: Do You Miss Him_1 A woman dressed in a white cotton and linen dress, stood under a tree, laughing brilliantly. Her appearances and manner, were naive and gentle. A head of black hair, like satin, cascaded over her shoulders, beautiful and serene. This was clearly herself, during her college years. How did Jun Mochan get her photograph? And from several years ago? The front door opened at that moment, and the man outside, upon seeing Ye Ranran within, paused for two seconds before enthusiastically greeting her, ¡°Sister-in-law.¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± she asked. ¡°I am Zhou Xian, I spoke with you over the phone last time.¡± Zhou Xian was handsome and sunny, like the boy next door, radiating confidence throughout his entire being, different from Jun Mochan¡¯s warm and elegant demeanour. Although Jun Mochan also presented a sense of gentleness, when you tried to get closer to him, you¡¯d feel a sense of cold detachment seeping from his bones. The Zhou Xian standing in front of her, however, was genuinely warm, making people drop their guard involuntarily. ¡°Jun Mochan is really not sincere. He didn¡¯t tell us brothers that he chased you until now, after so many years, he finally sees the moon after the clouds clear.¡± Zhou Xian casually sat down on a nearby sofa. ¡°What nonsense are you spouting now?¡± Just as Ye Ranran was about to speak, an icy voice came from the doorway ¨C who else could it be if not Jun Mochan? ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve spoken out of turn.¡± Zhou Xian quickly apologized and zipped his lips. Jun Mochan ignored him and looked at Ye Ranran: ¡°How long have you been here? Did you miss me?¡± Ye Ranran didn¡¯t expect him to ask so bluntly. If she said she didn¡¯t miss him, she would definitely be punished at night. If she said she did, there were others present, how could she say it out loud? Her small face flushed bright red. ¡°You can ignore me.¡± Seeing Ye Ranran¡¯s embarrassed expression, Zhou Xian promptly declared. Jun Mochan¡¯s piercing gaze shot over: ¡°You had something for me?¡± ¡°Err, you guys talk it out, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Ye Ranran had been trying to escape, but Jun Mochan grabbed her hand: ¡°There¡¯s nothing here you can¡¯t hear.¡± ¡°I know. You guys are discussing business and I can¡¯t contribute to the conversation anyway, so is it alright for me to go out and look around? As the boss¡¯s wife, I can do an inspection of the company, right?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t force you. I¡¯ll have Ah Chuan show you around.¡± Ye Ranran nodded and hurried out of the room as soon as Jun Mochan let go of her hand. Ah Chuan closely followed, fearing that he might lose her. In the office... Jun Mochan¡¯s expression hardened: ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear you say those words in front of Ranran again.¡± ¡°What? You still haven¡¯t told her? You...¡± ¡°She has just begun to accept me. I don¡¯t want to burden her.¡± Jun Mochan interrupted Zhou Xian mid-sentence, anticipating what he wanted to say. Zhou Xian shrugged, ¡°Alright, as you wish. By the way, the folks at the old house have been asking about you, you must know, right? If they found out...¡± ¡°Let them know. I¡¯ve already married her, why should I fear them knowing? If anyone dares to touch her, I¡¯ll fight with them.¡± Seeing the somber expression on Jun Mochan¡¯s face, Zhou Xian sighed. They all knew of Jun Mochan¡¯s devotion to Ye Ranran. While he had been able to restrain himself when he couldn¡¯t have her, now that he had her, his surging emotions were beyond control. If those folks actually tried to stop him, Jun Mochan would probably do anything. ¡°No matter what, we brothers always stand by your side hoping you find happiness. I¡¯ll help you hold off the old house, but I can¡¯t say for how long.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s expression returned to its usual serene self, the picture of an elegant gentleman. Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Ranran was walking and talking with Ah Chuan. Chapter 53 - 53 053 The Proud and Arrogant Jun Mochan_1 ?53: Chapter 053: The Proud and Arrogant Jun Mochan_1 53: Chapter 053: The Proud and Arrogant Jun Mochan_1 ¡°Ah Chuan, where did Jun Mochan go to university?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Has he ever met me before?¡± ¡°You should ask Mr. Jun about that, ma¡¯am.¡± Ye Ranran glared at him, Ah Chuan remained impassive with his poker-faced expression. ¡°I really want to kick you.¡± ¡°Mr. Jun said that you can do whatever you want, ma¡¯am. So, feel free to kick if you want.¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± ¡°If the madam wants to know something, just ask Mr. Jun, he will tell you.¡± Seeing Ye Ranran¡¯s frustrated face, Ah Chuan added. Ask him? Jun Mochan would deflect the conversation in a few words, as if he would tell her the truth. ¡°Mr. Jun will tell you sooner or later, don¡¯t overthink it, ma¡¯am.¡± ¡°Forget it, it doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t know.¡± In the end, Ye Ranran chose to trust Jun Mochan, if he didn¡¯t tell her, it must be for her own good. After a casual stroll, Ye Ranran headed back. Looking around, she didn¡¯t see Zhou Xian anywhere. Ye Ranran blinked, ¡°Did Zhou Xian leave?¡± ¡°Yes, he left not too long ago. How was the inspection? Were you satisfied, ma¡¯am?¡± Was this a veiled plea for praise? Ye Ranran nodded, ¡°Yes, I am very satisfied.¡± ¡°What is this?¡± Jun Mochan pointed to the bag Ye Ranran had placed to one side and he was about to reach for it. Ye Ranran quickly lunges to cradle it in her arms, ¡°This is a gift for you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re holding onto a gift for me so tightly?¡± There was a playful twinkle in Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes. He really was flirting with her all the time. Ye Ranran avoided looking into his penetrating gaze. ¡°Take a look, do you like it?¡± Ye Ranran pulled out the clothes and passed them to Jun Mochan. Jun Mochan didn¡¯t take them, ¡°You¡¯re not going to help me change into them? What a lack of sincerity in this gift.¡± Ye Ranran spread out the clothes, ¡°Mr. Jun, you¡¯re becoming quite the tsundere.¡± Jun Mochan spread his arms out, obediently letting Ye Ranran help him change. ¡°What does tsundere mean?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Ye Ranran helped Jun Mochan put on the clothes. It had to be said, Jun Mochan was truly a natural clothes horse. Everything he wore looked good, the silver-grey suit combined with his sophisticated texture and his warm yet chilly temperament made him look more attractive and handsome. Such a man was devastatingly attractive to a woman. ¡°It¡¯s quite nice, it looks good.¡± Ye Ranran nodded continuously, looking very satisfied. Jun Mochan stared at her, ¡°Is the outfit good or am I good?¡± ¡°Both are quite good, handsome man, good-looking cloth.¡± Ye Ranran smiled playfully. Jun Mochan also smiled, picked up Ye Ranran in his arms, ¡°Let¡¯s go, my hardworking wife, let¡¯s go have a nice meal.¡± ¡°Hey, what are you doing? We¡¯re at the office.¡± Jun Mochan didn¡¯t care where they were, he carried Ye Ranran straight to the car. If she wasn¡¯t too shy, he would¡¯ve given her a passionate kiss. ¡°We have a chef at home, we can just eat at home, no need to go out.¡± Ye Ranran spoke as she strapped in her seatbelt. She still preferred eating at home. Though it would just be the two of them, it still gave the feeling of home. Ever since her mother passed away, she rarely experienced that feeling. Originally, Jun Mochan planned to take Ye Ranran to the most expensive restaurant, but upon hearing her words, he turned the car around and drove her home. ¡°Should we go to the supermarket?¡± ¡°We have everything at home, no need.¡± Ye Ranran thought for a moment and replied. Jun Mochan chuckled, ¡°My wife really knows how to save money.¡± Chapter 54 - 54 054 Holding Her in the Palm of His Hand_1 ?54: Chapter 054: Holding Her in the Palm of His Hand_1 54: Chapter 054: Holding Her in the Palm of His Hand_1 ¡°Alright then, why don¡¯t you hand over your bank cards, passbooks, property deeds, and the like?¡± ¡°So the lady wants to take control of the finances?¡± While waiting for the traffic light, Jun Mochan pulls out a card from his wallet: ¡°I¡¯ve been ready for a while, just waiting for you to say so.¡± ¡°This card holds all the money I could use. All I carry is one subsidiary card now. You can see all my expenses and feel free to inquire anytime.¡± Ye Ranran was stunned. She was just joking around, but he took her seriously? ¡°Here you go.¡± Jun Mochan handed the card to Ye Ranran and started the car when the green light came on. A small, light card, but Ye Ranran felt it was very heavy, like a hot potato. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Does Mrs. Jun not want to accept?¡± Seeing Ye Ranran¡¯s dazed expression, Jun Mochan¡¯s tone was laced with danger. If she dared to return it to him, he would... ¡°Who said I don¡¯t dare?¡± Ye Ranran quickly stashed the card in her bag: ¡°Once it¡¯s given to me, it¡¯s mine. Even if we divorce someday, don¡¯t think about getting it back.¡± ¡°Sure, even if we divorce, I am still yours, and everything I have is yours.¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± When they returned to the villa, the servants had just finished cooking, and it was all Ye Ranran¡¯s favorite food. Ye Ranran looked at Jun Mochan in surprise: ¡°When did you tell them to make all this?¡± Seeing Ye Ranran¡¯s touched expression, Jun Mochan was a bit helpless: ¡°It¡¯s just a meal.¡± Yes, it¡¯s just a meal, but he didn¡¯t know that ever since her mother passed away, the family dining table had been devoid of her favorite food. Her mother was a northerner, who liked salty and spicy food. Her father was a southerner, who preferred light and sweet tastes, and her stepmother and sister were from the same place as her father. So, on many occasions, she felt like she was an odd one out in that family. In fact, she was indeed an extra. ¡°Jun Mochan, thank you.¡± Ye Ranran hugged him voluntarily. Thankful to him for being so thoughtful, for holding her so precious. ¡°What¡¯s the thanks for? Silly.¡± Jun Mochan pat her on the head: ¡°I told you, I will be good to you.¡± ¡°Ye Ranran will also be good to Jun Mochan. Very good, indeed.¡± Ye Ranran spoke as if taking an oath, very seriously. A hint of anticipation flashed in Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Yes, for real.¡± Ye Ranran nodded emphatically. Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes instantly brightened, like a child who just got candy: ¡°Mrs. Jun, remember what you just said.¡± ¡°Okay, I will remember. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Ye Ranran let go of Jun Mochan, pulling him towards the dining table. Her gestures were very natural. The meal was warm. After eating, Ye Ranran, who had nothing to do, took a leisurely stroll in the garden at the back of the villa. She thought that Jun Mochan wouldn¡¯t go because he¡¯s always busy and he had come home early that day. ¡°I still have time to accompany my wife, let¡¯s go.¡± In this way, they began to stroll in the garden. This was Ye Ranran¡¯s first time walking in the garden after living there for over two months. The garden was full of fragrant roses, their scent filling her nose and mouth without any need for the wind to carry it. Ye Ranran and Jun Mochan strolled, hand in hand. ¡°Mr. Jun, living in such a big place all by yourself seems quite extravagant.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s lips tightened: ¡°By myself?¡± Ye Ranran hadn¡¯t realized that she had misspoken: ¡°Yes, weren¡¯t you living here by yourself before? Weren¡¯t you scared?¡± Chapter 55 - 55 055 Car Accident_1 ?55: Chapter 055: Car Accident_1 55: Chapter 055: Car Accident_1 ¡°Hmm, so I thought, that¡¯s why I brought back a mistress for it,¡± said Jun Mochan with a meaningful tone. Ye Ranran¡¯s face reddened once again. This man was always flirting with her. ¡°I still haven¡¯t found a job. My old company called me again today, asking me to come back.¡± Before turning as red as a ripe apple, Ye Ranran hastily changed the subject. ¡°And then?¡± Jun Mochan casually picked a flower and tucked it into Ye Ranran¡¯s hair. Ye Ranran bowed her head to conceal the shyness on her face, ¡°I declined, I¡¯m not sure why no companies are recruiting me, but that¡¯s alright. Some studios have offered me some freelance work. Before I find a job, I can accept some.¡± ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to work, I can support you. The acquisition proposal for S.Z Magazine has been launched. I¡¯m also planning to start a film and television company soon. At that time, you can choose any one you want.¡± Ye Ranran shook her head: ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to go.¡± Indeed, whether it was the magazine or the film and TV company, both were great, but the thought of Jun Mochan becoming her boss made her feel uncomfortable. ¡°How come? Are you afraid that I will sell you off?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re setting a trap for me.¡± ... ¡°Manager Liu has already gone to negotiate with the people at S.Z Magazine. It should yield results in a couple of days. The Ye and Xie families have recently been investigated by the government, and are thus in a precarious position.¡± Ah Chuan was reporting the progress of their plans to Jun Mochan. ¡°Also, as for Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han, the people we sent have successfully gotten close to them. It should be successful in about a month.¡± Jun Mochan listened quietly without speaking. Ah Chuan had no idea if he was satisfied or not, and could only continue: ¡°Also, on madam¡¯s side ...¡± ¡°Keep telling them not to hire.¡± Ah Chuan nodded: ¡°Alright, I will continue to inform them. But, if the madam finds out ...¡± If Ye Ranran knew that the reason she couldn¡¯t find a job was because Jun Mochan had secretly instructed these companies, she would definitely blow up. Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes darkened, ¡°Are you going to blab?¡± ¡°Absolutely not.¡± Ah Chuan immediately covered his mouth. On the other hand, Ye Ranran had no idea that Jun Mochan was again sabotaging her job offers. She was happily meeting with a freelance employer. Some details had to be discussed in person since emails were not quite convenient. Two hours later, after understanding everything she needed to, Ye Ranran planned to head back. The driver had taken the day off due to personal business, so Ye Ranran drove herself. Upon leaving the cafe, she got directly into her car. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of hateful eyes watched her from the dark. ¡°Order accepted.¡± While waiting for the green light, Ye Ranran texted Jun Mochan. Even though he couldn¡¯t see Ye Ranran¡¯s expression or hear her voice, Jun Mochan could imagine her happy look. ¡°Congratulations, do you want to celebrate tonight?¡± Jun Mochan texted back. The light turned green, Ye Ranran put down her phone. The intersection ahead was busy with plenty of cars and people. Ye Ranran drove carefully until she reached the traffic lights at the intersection, where she took a small sigh of relief. The red light was on, she had to wait. Ye Ranran glanced at her phone, and suddenly heard a cry of alarm. She looked up, only to see a car rushing towards her at a breakneck speed. Her pupils dilated, she forgot to react. ¡°Bang.¡± The tremendous crash, the screams of the bystanders, and the cries for help blended together to create a less than delightful symphony. Chapter 56 - 56 056 Car Accident2_1 ?56: Chapter 056: Car Accident2_1 56: Chapter 056: Car Accident2_1 Jun Mochan would occasionally glance at his cell phone, waiting for a reply from Ye Ranran. Suddenly, he felt a pang in his heart, a sensation of suffocation. What has happened? As he muddled in panic, his cellphone rang. ¡°Ranran, what happened?¡± Jun Mochan asked anxiously as soon as he answered the phone. Intuition told him, something happened to her. ¡°Hello, are you a relative of Ye Ranran?¡± A serious and cold voice came from the other end of the line. ¡°I am her husband, what happened to my wife?¡± Jun Mochan had already stood up. ¡°I am a traffic policeman from the city road management department, Ye Ranran has had a car accident at the intersection of Mingzhou Road and Yin Feng Road. She was just put on the ambulance and is on her way to A City Hospital.¡± Jun Mochan felt a chill run through his body, there was a moment where he couldn¡¯t make out what the other person was saying. ¡°I¡¯ll go there right away, as for the accident site, I will send my assistant over,¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s voice was low. Over the phone, the other person couldn¡¯t see his slightly trembling body. In the hospital, Jun Mochan stood outside the operating room door, standing tall as a pine tree, blankly staring at the ¡°In Surgery¡± sign. Ah Chuan rushed over from the site of the accident and saw Jun Mochan in this state. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°Who did it?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s voice was calm, so calm that it was no different than usual. Ah Chuan who stood with his back to him, couldn¡¯t see the murderous rage in Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes, but having been with him for many years, he knew that he was on the verge of rage. Of all people, why mess with Ye Ranran? Was this not seeking death? ¡°Zhao Yue Li.¡± ¡°Very well,¡± Jun Mochan clenched his fists. It seemed he¡¯d been too lenient. ¡°Send the compensation bill to them. If they can¡¯t pay, they can rot in jail, as for what might happen to them in there, who cares,¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s tone was cold. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent it. Zhao Yue Li flew out from the car and landed in the flower bed next to it. She¡¯s now being rescued in the nearby attached hospital,¡± Ah Chuan reported. ¡°Indeed a big life, but then again, sometimes death is also a kind of happiness,¡± Ah Chuan wiped his sweat. ¡°You can go if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll just wait here,¡± Jun Mochan stared fixatedly at the door of the operating room without blinking. Ah Chuan continued dealing with the aftermath, he still had to explain to the police that the accident was deliberately caused by Zhao Yue Li. She was suspected of attempted murder, and according to Mr. Jun¡¯s wishes, she should not be let off lightly. She must receive a sentence befitting the gravity of her crime. At midnight, the door of the operating room finally opened. ¡°Doctor, how is my wife?¡± Jun Mochan stepped forward to ask. ¡°Two of her ribs are broken, and eight stitches have been sewn in her head. She was in a life-threatening condition when she was brought in. Luckily, we were quick to act; otherwise it would have been too late,¡± the doctor also seemed to have a lingering fear. As soon as the hospital director was informed that the patient was Jun Mochan¡¯s wife, he immediately arranged for the best doctor. He feared that if they were slow, Jun Mochan would tear the hospital down. Jun Mochan¡¯s legs weakened, luckily he quickly held onto the bed, or he would have fallen to the ground. ¡°When will she wake up?¡± Jun Mochan asked with difficulty. ¡°She will wake up after the anesthesia wears off, but the patient has been seriously injured, even if she wakes up, she should not talk too much,¡± the doctor instructed conscientiously. ¡°I understand.¡± The hospital director had already prepared the VIP ward for Ye Ranran, and as soon as the surgery ended, Ye Ranran was transferred there. And the director personally rushed over as soon as the surgery ended. ¡°Mr. Jun, if there¡¯s anything that does not meet your satisfaction, please feel free to tell us.¡± Chapter 57 - 57 057 Tenderness_1 ?57: Chapter 057: Tenderness_1 57: Chapter 057: Tenderness_1 Jun Mochan focused his full attention on Ye Ranran: ¡°You should leave, my wife needs quiet and peace. Don¡¯t disturb her.¡± A brief flicker of embarrassment crossed the dean¡¯s face, but it quickly faded: ¡°Well then, I won¡¯t disturb you any further. I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± The effects of the anesthesia wore off the next day, but Ye Ranran didn¡¯t wake up until noon. ¡°Are you awake? How are you feeling?¡± ¡°Jun Mochan?¡± Ye Ranran strained to turn her head, saw him, and her eyes immediately reddened. She thought she would never see him again in this lifetime. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll recover soon,¡± Jun Mochan brushed away the hair that fell on her face due to her movements. ¡°Did you stay awake all night?¡± As soon as she spoke, Ye Ranran realized her voice was hoarse and her chest hurt terribly. Jun Mochan smoothed her furrowed brow: ¡°The doctor said you¡¯ve fractured two ribs. You¡¯re not allowed to speak.¡± No wonder it hurt so much, Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes moved, looking at Jun Mochan. ¡°The one who hit you was Zhao Yue Li. I¡¯ve asked Ah Chuan to handle it. Don¡¯t worry, she will never be able to hurt you again.¡± Trust flowed in Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes, indicating her belief in him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you stay up all night? You should go rest, I¡¯m fine.¡± Ye Ranran closed her eyes. Jun Mochan tucked her in: ¡°Mmm, I¡¯ll lie next to you. Call me if you need anything.¡± The VIP ward had a small companion bed that couldn¡¯t accommodate Jun Mochan¡¯s tall body. His entire lower leg was exposed outside the bed, and Ye Ranran felt uncomfortable seeing him like this. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go back home? We can hire a caregiver.¡± Ye Ranran finally persuaded him on the third day. These three days, Jun Mochan took care of her meticulously, much like a personal nanny, and while Ye Ranran was moved, she also felt distressed for him. Mostly, she felt guilty. Jun Mochan had several meetings a day, due to taking care of her, he had been conducting video conferences lately and Ah Chuan brought urgent files to the hospital. He had to work until midnight every day and take care of her during the day, he became visibly thinner. ¡°Wherever you are, that¡¯s where I am.¡± Jun Mochan said without question. Ye Ranran closed her mouth quietly. After a week of staying, Ye Ranran could sit in a wheelchair and move around, so she sent Jun Mochan back to the company. Jun Mochan, unable to convince Ye Ranran, agreed to work during the day and come to accompany her at night. ¡°Mei Zi, push me out to sunbathe.¡± Ye Ranran looked at the bright sunlight outside the window and spoke. Mei Zi was the caregiver recruited by Jun Mochan to take care of her when he wasn¡¯t around. Her real name was Fang Mei, but Ye Ranran called her Mei Zi. ¡°Okay, shall we walk around in the garden?¡± Mei Zi asked while pushing Ye Ranran outside. ¡°That¡¯s fine, I mostly just want to get out of this stuffy room and take a breath of fresh air.¡± A smile surfaced on the corners of Ye Ranran¡¯s lips, lighting up her face. Feeling her happiness, Mei Zi was also in a good mood. Just as the mood was right, an alluring figure came toward them. A red dress, a tall stature, and an exceedingly beautiful face, she walked towards them bathed in light, looking like an angel. Who else could it be except Ye Tianjiao? Ye Ranran, who didn¡¯t expect to encounter Ye Tianjiao here, metaphorically gave her the middle finger in her heart. She was really unlucky. Ye Tianjiao also didn¡¯t expect to encounter Ye Ranran there. She hadn¡¯t seen her since the last time Ye Ranran slapped her twice. It was not that she hadn¡¯t planned to confront her; it was just that she had too much on her plate recently. Additionally, she had lost her baby and was recovering from the emotional and physical trauma. Naturally, she didn¡¯t have the leisure to deal with her. Chapter 58 - 58 058 Evil Begets Evil_1 ?58: Chapter 058: Evil Begets Evil_1 58: Chapter 058: Evil Begets Evil_1 ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this my sister? What happened? Injured your foot?¡± Ye Tianjiao said sardonically. Her eyes were filled with suppressed hatred, appearing as if she could not wait to throw herself onto Ye Ranran like a rabid dog at any second. ¡°You¡¯ll probably be disappointed. I¡¯m merely too lazy to walk, that¡¯s why I¡¯m in a wheelchair.¡± She spoke the truth. Now, even a slight movement made her chest hurt, the pain feeling as if she was unable to speak loudly. Unfortunately, Ye Tianjiao didn¡¯t take this seriously at all. She simply thought Ye Ranran was being stubborn. ¡°This is what they called retribution. What goes around comes around. At least, Jun Mochan is so concerned about you, he wouldn¡¯t abandon you.¡±, Ye Tianjiao said mockingly. ¡°Mei Zi, let¡¯s move on. We can just ignore those disgusting flies.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Mei Zi, fearful, glanced at Ye Tianjiao. Ye Ranran¡¯s indifference couldn¡¯t maintain the smile on Ye Tianjiao¡¯s face. She stormed up to Ye Ranran and grasped her arm. Her eyes were filled with hatred: ¡°Ye Ranran, your good days won¡¯t last long!¡± Ye Ranran felt the pain from her grip. Just as she was about to shake her off, Mei Zi rushed up and pushed Ye Tianjiao away with all her strength: ¡°What are you doing? I warn you, don¡¯t mess around!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything. There are so many people around. What do you think, that I am going to devour her?¡± Ye Tianjiao flicked her hair, puffed up her chest and walked away majestically. ¡°Madam, who is she?¡± Mei Zi fearfully asked. If something happens, Jun Mochan will definitely lash out at her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear? She called me sister.¡± ¡°Is she really your sister? I mean, your close kin?¡± Mei Zi widened her eyes in disbelief. What kind of sister is like this in the world? Looking at the astonishment on her face, Ye Ranran casually smiled and said, ¡°She¡¯s my half-sister.¡± Mei Zi wanted to gossip some more, but seeing Ye Ranran¡¯s uninterested expression, she stuck her tongue out, not daring to speak more. That evening, upon hearing about Ye Ranran¡¯s encounter with Ye Tianjiao, Jun Mochan¡¯s expression grew stern. ¡°Change the hospital immediately,¡± he declared. ¡°Why should I change? You¡¯re making it sound like I¡¯m afraid of her.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes sparked with distinct fury, ¡°You just need to focus on healing. Leave the rest to me.¡± ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m not moving. These cheating dogs, they should be the ones changing the hospital.¡± Jun Mochan grasped Ye Ranran¡¯s chin, forcing her to look at him: ¡°Ye Ranran, unexpectedly, you still care about him.¡± ¡°Who cares about him? Don¡¯t make baseless claims,¡± Ye Ranran retorted, her face turning red in anger. Seeing her reaction, she did not seem to care. Jun Mochan¡¯s tone softened: ¡°Then tell me, why are you unwilling to change?¡± ¡°Why should I? You¡¯re making it sound like I¡¯m guilty. Besides, the circle is small. Do you want me to hide all the time?¡± Ye Ranran raised her voice, her chest heaving and her face pale. Seeing her state, Jun Mochan started to panic: ¡°Fine, we won¡¯t move then. We¡¯ll do as you like.¡± ¡°I have a headache.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s expression was of weakness. ¡°Rest now.¡± Jun Mochan helped her lie down. Looking at his worried state, Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes softened. She held his hand: ¡°Husband, I know you¡¯re worried about me, but I¡¯m not a china doll. I¡¯m not that fragile.¡± ¡°When a dog is driven to desperation, it will leap over a wall. Ever since you caused that scene, everything in Ye family has gone down hill, even Ye Tianjiao is having a hard time. Plus, today I heard from Mei Zi that she attacked you. I¡¯m really afraid she might continue to trouble you.¡± Chapter 59 - 59 059 A Foot Of Virtue and A Yard Of Evil_1 ?59: Chapter 059: A Foot Of Virtue and A Yard Of Evil_1 59: Chapter 059: A Foot Of Virtue and A Yard Of Evil_1 What a bigmouth Mei Zi is, revealing everything to Jun Mochan. ¡°She didn¡¯t pinch me, just grabbed my arm. Nowadays, I¡¯m not afraid of her.¡± Jun Mochan grabbed her arm, rolled up her sleeve, revealing her fair as a lotus root arm. There were two purplish bruises on it that were particularly noticeable. ¡°My skin is sensitive; it flushes at the slightest touch, you know that.¡± Upon being caught by Jun Mochan, even before he asked, she defended herself. ¡°Such a degree of redness, you¡¯ve truly opened my eyes,¡± Jun Mochan joked ¡°Ouch.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s face turned as black as ink, ¡°You still know pain.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get angry, I¡¯ll be careful next time. You promised me not to transfer me to another hospital; you can¡¯t go back on your word,¡± Ranran cooed. Jun Mochan sighed, ¡°If I were planning on reneging, you wouldn¡¯t be lying here now.¡± Knowing that he¡¯d agreed, Ranran grinned from ear to ear, ¡°I knew my husband is the best.¡± However, the next day, when she saw the five bodyguards standing neatly in front of her, she regretted her words from the night before. ¡°Jun Mochan, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Ranran asked angrily. Jun Mochan gave her a worried glance, his tone gentle, ¡°Don¡¯t get upset. If you don¡¯t want to be transferred, I had no choice but to arrange more people to watch over you.¡± ¡°This is surveillance!¡± Ranran retorted. Jun Mochan gently poked her puffed-out cheeks, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. If something happens to you again, I will have to keep you tied to my side all the time.¡± Ranran: ¡°.....¡± A wise man is always a step above the devil. Every day, Jun Mochan would wait until Ranran woke up, have breakfast with her before going to work. Ranran was a late sleeper, but she couldn¡¯t bear to keep Jun Mochan waiting, so she hurriedly got up as soon as she woke up at seven. Back and forth like this, she eventually broke her habit of lying in bed. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m heading to the company now. Call me if anything happens,¡± Jun Mochan reminded Ranran before leaving. He repeats this every single day. Ranran has heard it so many times it nearly bore a hole in her ear. ¡°Okay, I will. You should get going, it¡¯s getting late.¡± Seeing Ranran¡¯s impatient face, Jun Mochan felt a little upset. Did she dislike being with him that much? ¡°Madam, your husband is so good to you,¡± Mei Zi said enviously. A smile spread across Ranran¡¯s face, ¡°Go and get my notebook, let¡¯s go sit in the garden.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Mei Zi brought Ranran¡¯s design notebook from the drawer and was about to push her wheelchair, but Ranran stood up, ¡°I can walk.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mei Zi quickly supported her, being even more cautious than Jun Mochan. ¡°Madam, be careful. If something happens to you, Young Master Jun will surely kill me,¡± Mei Zi said earnestly. Ranran chuckled, ¡°Is it really that extreme?¡± ¡°Definitely,¡± Mei Zi nodded earnestly. Ranran¡¯s heart was as sweet as if she¡¯d eaten candy. It almost felt surreal. Jun Mochan was too kind to her, so overwhelmingly kind that it felt like she was dreaming. Sitting on a swing in the garden, Ranran lowered her head and focused on her drawing. The shadow of the trees danced around her while specks of sunlight shone on her through the leaves. Quiet, peaceful, and serene. When she got tired of drawing, Ranran lifted her head and moved her neck a little, careful not to strain too much. Chapter 60 - 60 060 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road _1 ?60: Chapter 060: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road _1 60: Chapter 060: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road _1 ¡°Pour me some water.¡± Mei Zi stood not far from Ye Ranran and immediately ran out when she heard the command, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going now. Please, wait a moment.¡± Ye Ranran sighed, with so many bodyguards around, were they still worried that something would happen to her? She lowered her head, intending to continue sketching, when sudden voices came from the flower bed opposite her. ¡°When was the last time you visited me?¡± ¡°Busy? Even if you¡¯re busy, you can spare an hour or two, right? I know the company has a lot to handle recently, but this isn¡¯t an excuse.¡± Ye Tianjiao? Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to see her. As soon as she heard her voice, she stood up to leave. But suddenly someone came rushing from behind her, ¡°Mrs. Jun, please, spare my daughter.¡± A woman in her forties, with disheveled hair, fell in front of Ye Ranran. She sprinted from the side of the swing chair, avoiding the bodyguards¡¯ gaze until they heard the noise and came rushing over, the woman was already hugging Ye Ranran¡¯s leg. ¡°Who is your daughter?¡± Ye Ranran asked, puzzled. ¡°Zhao Yue Li, my daughter is Zhao Yue Li. It wasn¡¯t intentional, please, can you spare her?¡± Zhao Yue Li? Ye Ranran¡¯s mind immediately flashed back to the scene before she passed out: Zhao Yue Li had driven her car at her madly. A look full of viciousness in her eyes, wishing Ye Ranran immediate death. Ye Ranran laughed coldly: ¡°Spare her? Do you know she almost killed me?¡± ¡°But aren¡¯t you alright now? She just finished surgery, we¡¯re out of money. Her hospital stay is going to cost a lot, we... we really can¡¯t afford to compensate.¡± ¡°Such a small amount of money doesn¡¯t mean anything to you, but it could ruin us. Please, can you spare us?¡± Ye Ranran couldn¡¯t believe they could stoop so low. She was so furious that her chest was shaking violently, and her wound throbbed with pain. ¡°I broke two of my ribs, the doctors said I will have scars. I had eight stitches on my head, if the wound was a fraction deeper, I would have died. You want me to spare her now?¡± Ye Ranran looked incredulous: ¡°Let me tell you, if I don¡¯t make her pay, it¡¯s already giving her a break. If you continue to harass me, the compensation may be more than you expect.¡± Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, the woman¡¯s face turned mad: ¡°You¡¯re asking for our lives, I swear I¡¯ll kill you. I will kill you.¡± Seeing the situation, the watchful bodyguards rushed forward to pull the woman away. One of them stood behind Ye Ranran, acting as a buffer. ¡°Throw her out.¡± Ye Ranran ordered coldly. ¡°Yes.¡± The bodyguard lifted the woman. The woman couldn¡¯t break free and screamed: ¡°I curse you! You won¡¯t die a good death and you¡¯ll pay for this.¡± The bodyguard dragged her away while she kept cursing. Even from outside, her shouting could still be heard. During the commotion, Ye Tianjiao had noticed Ye Ranran. Seeing the situation was resolved, she elegantly and calmly walked over. She glanced at the sketchbook in Ye Ranran¡¯s hand, ¡°Sister, you seem in high spirits.¡± ¡°Your spirits seem high too, younger sister.¡± Ye Ranran glanced at her phone and said with faint irony. Ye Tianjiao¡¯s countenance fluctuated rapidly before retrieving her calm. She held her head high like a proud peacock: ¡°I¡¯ll tell you, no matter what tricks you play, I¡¯m not afraid. Han Ai is mine, don¡¯t think you can steal him.¡± Chapter 61 - 61 061 Splash on Her - 1 ?61: Chapter 061: Splash on Her ¨C 1 61: Chapter 061: Splash on Her ¨C 1 Ye Ranran laughed amusedly at her, as if looking at a clown: ¡°Rest assured, sister, I have no interest in vying with you, I¡¯m already married, I have no interest in being a mistress.¡± ¡°After all, I am not the same as you, am I?¡± ¡°You...¡± Ye Tianjiao raised her hand, about to slap Ye Ranran¡¯s face, but the bodyguard immediately stepped in front of Ye Ranran. ¡°What¡¯s going on? What happened?¡± Mei Zi walked over with a glass of water. Ye Tianjiao noticed her water, abruptly snatch it and dumped it onto Ye Ranran¡¯s face. Ye Ranran instinctively shielded her design draft. ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± Mei Zi pushes her. ¡°Slap!¡± Ye Tianjiao slapped across: ¡°Who gave you permission to touch me?¡± She¡¯s got a temper, Ye Ranran wiped the water off her face: ¡°Grab her.¡± The bodyguard immediately twisted Ye Tianjiao in front of Ye Ranran. ¡°Go, bring several buckets of water here.¡± Ye Ranran instructed the bodyguard beside her. Soon, the bodyguard brought three buckets of water, with the bucket height reaching up to their knees. ¡°Pour it.¡± ¡°Splash, splash.¡± The bodyguards dumped all the water on Ye Tianjiao. In an instant, Ye Tianjiao went from a proud peacock to a wet and bedraggled chicken. ¡°All right, you can go now.¡± Ye Ranran only said after she had taught her a lesson. Ye Tianjiao was only wearing a chiffon skirt, which was originally elegant, after getting wet, it completely stuck to her body, revealing what her underwear couldn¡¯t cover. ********¡¯s figure is faintly visible, making people¡¯s blood boil. Looking at the changed eyes of the surrounding bodyguards, Ye Ranran sighed. Ye Tianjiao¡¯s figure was indeed good. Such a beauty, every man would like, wouldn¡¯t they? ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to stay any longer. ¡°Yes, Madam, I¡¯ll take you to change your clothes.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s neckline was all wet, and there were still drops of water left on her neck. Mei Zi was glad, thankfully Jun Mochan was not here, otherwise, who knows what would have happened. However, she didn¡¯t know, as soon as the woman was thrown out, the bodyguards promptly informed Jun Mochan about the situation here. Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes were cold, quite good, daring to seek out Ye Ranran. ¡°Ah Chuan, come in.¡± Jun Mochan pressed the direct line telephone. Five minutes later, Ah Chuan pushed the door in: ¡°President.¡± ¡°Here are the evidence of Zhao Yue Li being a mistress and how she suppressed the original wife, send them to the media.¡± ¡°Also, send a copy to the original wife¡¯s family.¡± Ah Chuan glanced at Jun Mochan¡¯s gloomy face, didn¡¯t dare to ask more, could only take the materials: ¡°Yes.¡± After the car crash, Zhao Yue Li¡¯s information had already been dug up, everyone knew she came from the countryside, so they understood her difficulties. But when a video of her suppressing the original wife came out, the netizens boiled over, digging up her address, planning to throw eggs at her. Hospital. Ye Tianjiao watched Ye Ranran¡¯s departing figure with hatred, shook the water droplets off her hair, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and followed Ye Ranran in a disgraced state. A City Hospital is a key hospital in A City, equipped with good medical facilities and highly skilled doctors, naturally drawing in many patients. Patients, nurses, and doctors walked by in the hallway from time to time, on seeing Ye Tianjiao in her pitiful state, they couldn¡¯t help but give her a second look. Those with guts had even stopped and pointed at Ye Tianjiao. Even bolder ones took out their phones to take pictures. Ye Tianjiao turned around and glared at them: ¡°What are you taking pictures of? No pictures, stop it.¡± Chapter 62 - 62 062 Embarrassment_1 ?62: Chapter 062: Embarrassment_1 62: Chapter 062: Embarrassment_1 ¡°I¡¯m going to take photos of you like this, you must be a mistress. I¡¯ll expose you on Weibo.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Ye Tianjio screamed. Watching the scene behind, Mei Zi turned her head and said, ¡°Madam, aren¡¯t you going to see it?¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to watch? Whether or not she lives or dies has nothing to do with me.¡± Ye Ranran spoke calmly. ¡°Oh.¡± Mei Zi stuck out her tongue. ¡°You can enjoy the spectacle, but keep your distance. I don¡¯t want any dirt splashing on you.¡± After changing her clothes in the room and seeing Mei Zi¡¯s eagerness to join, Ye Ranran kindly let her go. ¡°All right, I promise to just have a peep and come back.¡± Mei Zi raised her hand in oath. Ye Ranran lowered her head and resumed her sketching. Mei Zi knew she¡¯d been given permission and ran outside happily. Outside. Ye Tianjio was surrounded, pointed at, photographed. She tried to stop them, but they pushed and insulted her. Just when she felt helpless, a pair of strong hands rescued her. She thought it was Gao Han. She looked up and the surprise in her eyes faded when she saw who it was: ¡°Brother, why is it you?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t it be me? Who else did you expect?¡± Ye Tianjing grumbled, ¡°How did you get yourself into such a mess?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because of that witch Ye Ranran? Brother, you have to teach her a lesson.¡± Ye Tianjio clenched her teeth and spat out. Ye Tianjing frowned: ¡°Why are you provoking her again?¡± ¡°What did I do to provoke her? Now that I¡¯m in trouble, she must be really pleased.¡± Ye Tianjio expressed her dissatisfaction with Ye Tianjing¡¯s words. ¡°All right, I¡¯ll handle this. Go home and change your clothes.¡± Ye Tianjing sighed. Not wanting to wear her wet clothes anymore, Ye Tianjio nodded, ¡°Got it, I¡¯ll go right away.¡± After changing, Ye Tianjio immediately called Gao Han to complain. ¡°You need to stop provoking Ranran. If you hadn¡¯t angered her, she wouldn¡¯t have laid her hands on you.¡± Gao Han rubbed his forehead. Gao Han¡¯s words made Ye Tianjio raise her voice: ¡°Gao Han, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I was the one looking for trouble?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to imply that. I was just asking you to behave yourself. If there¡¯s nothing else, just accompany your mother. You know how busy things are at the company right now, so why do you need to go find Ranran?¡± ¡°Ranran? Why are you calling her that? Are you still thinking about her? Are you thinking of rekindling your old flame?¡± Ye Tianjio kept asking. Gao Han, feeling a headache, tried to comfort her softly, ¡°It¡¯s not what you think.¡± ¡°Then tell me, what is it?¡± Ye Tianjio was relentless. Gao Han felt suddenly weary, and hung up the phone. Ye Tianjio was still expecting Gao Han to soothe her, but all she got was the dial tone. Her face twisted in an instant. ¡°Gao Han, are you ignoring me? Do you think no one else wants me?¡± Ye Tianjio angrily tossed her phone into her bag. Gazing at his dark screen, Gao Han sighed as the door to his office was pushed open. ¡°President Gao, your coffee.¡± The voluptuous secretary, dressed in a tight skirt and deeply plunging neckline, walked in. ¡°Thank you, just put it here.¡± Gao Han shifted his gaze back to his desk and continued his work. ¡°I¡¯ve already informed the government side and the Industry and Commerce Bureau. The tax reports have been processed as well. We can say that the matter is temporarily resolved.¡± The secretary said with a smile. Chapter 63 - 63 063 Dove Occupies the Magpies Nest_1 ?63: Chapter 063: Dove Occupies the Magpie¡¯s Nest_1 63: Chapter 063: Dove Occupies the Magpie¡¯s Nest_1 Gao Han put down the pen in his hand, lifted his head, and rubbed his temples wearily, ¡°Thank you.¡± This secretary was his most recent hire and was extraordinarily capable, having helped him solve many tricky issues in just a few days. ¡°This is what I should do. You haven¡¯t had a proper rest in a long time. Now that things are mostly handled, why not go home and get some sleep?¡± The secretary asked with concern. Listening to the caring voice and worrisome expression, Gao Han inexplicably thought of Ye Tianjiao¡¯s face, twisted in exasperation. Ye Tianjiao wasn¡¯t like this before. What changed recently? ¡°President Gao? President Gao?¡± The secretary¡¯s anxious call brought Gao Han back to reality, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Are you okay? If you are not feeling well, why don¡¯t you go back and rest? I can drive you home.¡± The secretary walked over to him. Gao Han picked up his jacket from the chair, ¡°No need, I can manage by myself.¡± Watching his departing figure, the secretary¡¯s lips curled into a playful smile. ... Ye Ranran looked at the suddenly visiting Ye Tianjing, her face showing no surprise. ¡°Did Ranran guess that I would come?¡± Ye Tianjing looked at Ye Ranran¡¯s pale face. She seemed to have lost some weight, her frailty evident from head to toe. Her head was wrapped in a bandage, but those eyes, they were still as lively, subtly emitting a sparkle. ¡°When it involves Ye Tianjiao, who wouldn¡¯t come? I just thought that Dad would be the first one to show up,¡± Ye Ranran remarked nonchalantly. Ye Tianjing sighed, ¡°I know what happened last time was our fault, but Tianjiao...after all, she¡¯s your sister. Can¡¯t you let her off?¡± ¡°Last time? Which incident are you referring to? The one where you plotted against me, drugged me, or the one where she climbed into Gao Han¡¯s bed to embarrass me?¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s face darkened with a chilling air. ¡°I didn¡¯t know about what happened at the banquet. When I noticed that you had disappeared, I went looking for you. Tianjiao said you weren¡¯t feeling well and went home. I only found out later... I¡¯m truly sorry.¡± ¡°Sorry? You think you can wipe everything away with a simple apology? You¡¯re too naive.¡± Ye Ranran snorted coldly. The smile on Ye Tianjing¡¯s face faded: ¡°Then what do you want?¡± ¡°Hand over the management rights of the company, move out of Ye Residence, and as for corporate ownership, let me think...¡± Ye Tianjing¡¯s face turned dark: ¡°Ranran, you can¡¯t manage or do business, what do you want with the company? As for the shares, don¡¯t you already have thirty percent?¡± ¡°Whether I can manage it or not is not your concern. You want me to forgive Ye Tianjiao, don¡¯t you? As long as you do these things, I may be able to forgive and forget.¡± Ye Ranran spoke without a hint of negotiation in her tone. ¡°The company is Dad¡¯s lifetime effort, are you trying to kill him?¡± Ye Tianjing tried to keep his tone steady. Ye Ranran¡¯s lip curled into a smirk,¡±Dad¡¯s? I think my brother still doesn¡¯t get one thing. The company was from my grandfather to my mother. After my mother died, Dad took over.¡± ¡°Then it came to our generation, and the company became yours. ¡®Usurping the nest¡¯¡ªI can¡¯t think of a better phrase to describe you.¡± ¡°You...¡± Ye Tianjing stood up abruptly. Ye Ranran expected him to lash out, but he just glared at her for a moment before saying evenly, ¡°This isn¡¯t something I can decide. If you want something, go find Dad.¡± Chapter 64 - 64 064 Accompany Her a Little Bit _1 ?64: Chapter 064: Accompany Her a Little Bit _1 64: Chapter 064: Accompany Her a Little Bit _1 After saying this, Ye Tianjing left. Upon his return, he heard Ye Tianjiao on the phone: ¡°I¡¯m not in a good mood right now, you must accompany me.¡± ¡°Sure, who could say no when Miss Ye calls?¡± Came a magnetic voice from the other end of the line, tinged with a slight frivolity. It was not Gao Han¡¯s voice. ¡°Well, come pick me up in a bit, and remember, you asked me out.¡± ¡°Naturally.¡± Ye Tianjiao hung up the phone in satisfaction, turned around, and saw Ye Tianjing standing behind her. ¡°Bro, why are you standing behind me? You can scare people like that!¡± ¡°Who was that just now?¡± Ye Tianjing asked instead of answering. Ye Tianjing¡¯s question made Ye Tianjiao a bit unhappy: ¡°Why so many questions? Am I not allowed to find someone to keep me company when I¡¯m down?¡± ¡°Keep you company? Don¡¯t you remember you¡¯re married? You have a family now, yet there are a ton of things at the company no one is taking care of. If you don¡¯t want to handle it, at least go care for Gao Han instead of always messing around with unruly men.¡± ¡°Unruly men? Do you see me as an unruly woman then? Caring for Gao Han? Am I not showing concern for him? He¡¯s ignoring me, so I¡¯m going to find another man, I...¡± Her words abruptly stopped because Ye Tianjiao saw Gao Han, who had quietly appeared at the doorway. He was still holding the door open, looking at her in shock... Panic appeared on Ye Tianjiao¡¯s face: ¡°Han, it¡¯s not what you think, listen to me.¡± Gao Han didn¡¯t say a word, just turned around and left. Ye Tianjiao quickly followed him. Ye Tianjing shook his head, this was all too much. Compared to the chaos here, things were quiet on Ye Ranran¡¯s end. After finishing her design sketch, she went to rest. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jun Mochan sitting by her bed. He was typing on his laptop. As Ye Ranran attempted to lean in to see, Jun Mochan, sensing her, turned to face her. ¡°Awake already.¡± Jun Mochan covered his laptop and reached out to help her up. ¡°Why are you here so early today?¡± Ye Ranran looked out the window. It was midsummer, the days were long, and there was still daylight outside. It must be around four or five o¡¯clock. ¡°How long have you been here?¡± ¡°Not long, just about half an hour.¡± Jun Mochan pressed the bell at the head of the bed. Soon, a nurse and doctor came over. It was time for her follow-up and medication change. ¡°All good. You can have the stitches removed in half a month,¡± said the doctor. Another half a month, Ye Ranran was about to say something when Jun Mochan spoke up: ¡°Yes, got it, thank you, doctor.¡± Hearing his decisive tone, Ye Ranran wisely kept quiet. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re not happy to see me?¡± After the doctor left, Jun Mochan had a bouquet in his hand. Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Is this for me?¡± ¡°I just didn¡¯t like the emptiness of the vase in the room, so I specifically brought a bouquet to fill it up.¡± With that, Jun Mochan did indeed put the flower into the vase. Ye Ranran: ¡°.....¡± ¡°My lady, is there anything you would like to tell me?¡± His question caught Ye Ranran off guard: ¡°Tell you what?¡± Seeing her puzzled look, Jun Mochan raised an eyebrow: ¡°Did you meet anyone today? Did something happen?¡± His question sounded somewhat gritted. He had rushed over as soon as he had dealt with the situation, thinking she was upset. But it turned out she was sleeping. All he could do was wait for her to wake up. But now that she was awake, she didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of telling him about it. Chapter 65 - 65 065 What Are You Imagining_1 ?65: Chapter 065: What Are You Imagining_1 65: Chapter 065: What Are You Imagining_1 If it wasn¡¯t for the bodyguards reporting to him early on, was she planning to keep it from him all along? ¡°I¡¯m at the hospital every day, and besides running into patients, what else could I run into... Oh, you mean Ye Tianjiao? I¡¯ve already given her a piece of my mind.¡± ¡°Besides that, and you only splashed a few buckets of water on her, and you call that punishing? Mrs. Jun, your methods are quite childish.¡± Just listen to his contemptuous tone and look at his proud and aloof attitude! ¡°I¡¯m childish? You didn¡¯t see her messy state. Besides, I¡¯m not like you, an outright big bad wolf.¡± Ye Ranran retorted defiantly. ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m the big bad wolf, and you are little red riding hood. Aside from that, have you encountered anything else?¡± Jun Mochan said with a mischievous smile. His face which changes quicker than June weather left Ye Ranran unable to fathom his mind, she grumbled: ¡°What else could there be... are you referring to Zhao Yue Li¡¯s mother?¡± Finally remembering, Jun Mo Cold nodded, ¡°My lady is indeed magnanimous, cursed in the morning and forgotten by the afternoon.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take that as a compliment.¡± Jun Mochan suddenly leaned towards Ye Ranran. Seeing his handsome face looming closer, Ye Ranran thought he was about to kiss her suddenly and reflexively closed her eyes. Unexpectedly, Jun Mochan was just wiping her face. ¡°Mrs. Jun, what were you imagining?¡± Realising she had been duped, Ye Ranran blushed deep red, filled with embarrassment and annoyance, ¡°The sun outside is too dazzling, can¡¯t I close my eyes?¡± Jun Mochan chuckled, ¡°Of course you can.¡± His hand moved downwards, unbuttoning Ye Ranran¡¯s clothes. Forced to tilt her head up, Ye Ranran¡¯s face, which was already red, now looked as if blood was rushing into it. ¡°Mr. Jun, this is a hospital.¡± He wouldn¡¯t be thinking of doing something here, would he? Ye Ranran¡¯s heart fluttered. ¡°Mrs. Jun seems quite excited about something happening.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s lips brushed against Ye Ranran¡¯s cheek, finally stopping by her ear. His hot breath against her face made not only Ye Ranran¡¯s cheek, but even her ears turn red. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if I had such intentions, I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s hand rested on her wound, ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± He was getting more skilled at teasing her, Ye Ranran didn¡¯t want to reply, but seeing the concern on his face, she gave in, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt much now, the doctor said I¡¯ll be fine after a few more dressings.¡± Her resilience gave rise to guilt in Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I couldn¡¯t protect you.¡± ¡°Jun Mochan, you¡¯ve been wonderful.¡± Ye Ranran took the initiative to hug his waist, ¡°I don¡¯t know what I would¡¯ve done without you by my side these past few days.¡± Feeling Ye Ranran¡¯s reliance on him, Jun Mochan, like always, wanted to pat her head, but seeing the wound on her head, he stopped. ¡°Okay, you haven¡¯t taken a bath in a few days. Shouldn¡¯t you wash now that your wound hurts less?¡± Ye Ranran gave him a pitiful look, ¡°Are you disgusted with me?¡± ¡°No, I was just telling you good news. But it seems that Mrs. Jun rather prefers that I help her with her bath myself.¡± Indeed, during the days she couldn¡¯t bathe, it was Jun Mochan who wiped her body for her. Ye Ranran did resist, but each time, Jun Mochan dismissed her with ¡®How can I let others see my wife¡¯s body?¡¯ as his reason. His fingers gliding over her skin, as if by magic, ignited the flame in her heart. Provoking her to no end. Yet denying her satisfaction. Chapter 66 - 66 066 _1 ?66: Chapter 066: _1 66: Chapter 066: _1 The taste was far more complex than merely a contrasting case of fire and ice. ¡°That¡¯s not what I mean.¡± Ye Ranran denied hastily. Jun Mochan lifted her chin. An ordinary person making such a move might seem frivolous, but he made it seem noble and elegant. Indeed, heaven had been particularly generous to Jun Mochan. Just as Ye Ranran drifted off into her thoughts, a sudden sting on her lips pulled her back to reality. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Ye Ranran glared at him. ¡°Madam, you dare zone out in front of me.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s fingers traced her lips. His overly intimate and flirtatious behaviour made Ye Ranran uncomfortable. She pushed him away: ¡°I need a bath, hurry up and get the water running.¡± Jun Mochan decided to stop teasing her; even the gentlest cat would claw if pushed too far. After a bath and a meal, Ye Ranran laid back down. She slept soundly until dawn. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of Jun Mochan¡¯s incomparably handsome face. ¡°Don¡¯t you have work today?¡± Startled, Ye Ranran sat up quickly from the bed. The sudden movement pulled on her wound, causing her to draw a sharp breath from the piercing pain. Immediately dropping his laptop, Jun Mochan frowned deeply at her, ¡°Are you a dog or something?¡± Ye Ranran wanted to retort, but the pain forced her to keep silent. Her head tilted back slightly, her lips tightly pressed, as if she was desperately trying to bear something, Jun Mochan¡¯s head was close to her neck. It was a scene that could easily be misconstrued. The moment Mei Zi opened the door and saw them, her eyes widened in shock, before she quickly shut the door: ¡°I, I didn¡¯t see anything.¡± Ye Ranran had no idea what she meant as Jun Mochan¡¯s wandering hand distracted her. ¡°There¡¯s no bleeding, so it shouldn¡¯t be too serious, but we should still have a doctor check on it.¡± Jun Mochan straightened and began buttoning Ye Ranran¡¯s shirt. ¡°Surely it doesn¡¯t take you this long just to check!¡± Ye Ranran rolled her eyes. He did it on purpose, right? Trying to take advantage of her, wasn¡¯t he? Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes darkened, as a cold smirk curled up the corner of his lips.¡± Only then did Ye Ranran realize what he meant. Furious, she grabbed a pillow and threw it at him: ¡°Jun Mochan, you pervert!¡± Jun Mochan caught the pillow, put it aside, and walked out: ¡°I¡¯m going to get a doctor. Just stay put and don¡¯t move.¡± On his way out, he saw Mei Zi and instructed her to care for Ye Ranran. ¡°Madam.¡± Mei Zi entered from outside, giving her a strange look. Feeling wronged, Ye Ranran looked back at her. Unbeknownst to her, this expression made a typical impression on Mei Zi. Being slow to catch on, Ye Ranran didn¡¯t notice anything unusual. Glancing at the thermal flask in Mei Zi¡¯s hand, she said: ¡°Just put it there. I¡¯m not hungry yet.¡± ¡°Oh, did Young Master Jun already feed you?¡± Mei Zi looked at Ye Ranran¡¯s slightly red lips. Ye Ranran failed to grasp the deeper meaning in Mei Zi¡¯s words: ¡°He has not gone out at all. I just got up and I¡¯m not hungry yet.¡± Explanation is disguise, disguise is truth, she knew. It wasn¡¯t long before Jun Mochan returned, with two doctors trailing behind him. Chapter 67 - 67 067 Cunning Mr ?67: Chapter 067: Cunning Mr. Jun_1 67: Chapter 067: Cunning Mr. Jun_1 The doctor checked and said, ¡°No worries, a few drips will do just fine. Just be careful in the future, the wound is starting to form a scab now. If it¡¯s torn open, it will be a bigger issue.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Ye Ranran obediently answered. After seeing the doctor out, Jun Mochan picked Ye Ranran up, ¡°Tidy up and eat something.¡± There were still others in the room, and Ye Ranran didn¡¯t expect Jun Mochan to just lift her up like that. She blushed, ¡°There are other people here, can you not draw so much attention?¡± ¡°Who told you to constantly get yourself into such embarassing situations? Mrs. Jun, if you don¡¯t want this to happen, you should behave better in the future.¡± Jun Mochan put Ye Ranran down by the washstand. After Jun Mochan left, Ye Ranran looked at the person in the mirror. Her cheeks were puffed slightly from her irritation, but the laughter in her eyes remained unstoppable. Jun Mochan¡¯s care and indulgence gave her a sense of happiness. This was a feeling she had never had when she was with Gao Han. ¡°Mr. Jun, are you giving yourself a day off again today?¡± Jun Mochan divided the porridge from the thermos into two bowls, one for himself, and the other one for Ye Ranran. ¡°Mrs. Jun, it¡¯s Saturday today. Can¡¯t I have a day off?¡± Jun Mochan sat down beside Ye Ranran¡¯s bed. ¡°Mei Zi can feed me.¡± Seeing Jun Mochan getting ready to feed her, Ye Ranran quickly spoke up. Jun Mochan turned his head, casting a dangerous glance at Mei Zi. Receiving the signal, Mei Zi waved and walked out, ¡°Well, I have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet. Sorry.¡± ¡°No one is here now.¡± ¡°I can do it myself.¡± Just as Ye Ranran was about to lift her hand, Jun Mochan held it down. ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to feed you in a different way, you¡¯d better stay still.¡± Another way? Trying to scare me? Ye Ranran struggled to retract her hand. Jun Mochan took a big gulp of porridge into his mouth. Under Ye Ranran¡¯s curious gaze, he kissed her. It was only after he had fed Ye Ranran all the porridge in his mouth that he let go of her. ¡°So, my lady likes this way. You should have told me earlier.¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± Damn, he can¡¯t be more cunning. In contrast to the sweetness between Ye Ranran and Jun Mochan, Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han were not as fortunate. Ye Tianjiao chased Gao Han out and stopped him at the hospital entrance, ¡°Han, listen to me.¡± ¡°What is there to say? About you not being able to cope with loneliness? Or about your change of heart?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t cope with loneliness? I called and told you that I was unhappy, and you ignored me. Now, is it wrong for me to call a friend to keep me company? Or are all men like this, eating in the bowl but looking at the pot?¡± Listening to Ye Tianjiao¡¯s increasingly sharp questioning, Gao Han no longer wanted to argue. ¡°Tianjiao, let¡¯s just take a breather.¡± ¡°Taking a break? You want to take a break or leave me?¡± Ye Tianjiao sneers. The argument attracted more and more people. Seeing that Ye Tianjiao was not willing to back down, Gao Han could only plead in a low voice, ¡°Tianjiao, I came specifically to see you. As soon as I finished with the company¡¯s business, I came to find you. But as soon as I got here, I heard you say those words. What am I supposed to think?¡± ¡°What am I supposed to think? You hung up my call, defended Ye Ranran, what does that make me think?¡± Gao Han¡¯s temples throbbed with pain. Finally, he lost all patience and walked away. Ye Tianjiao followed him. Impatience appeared on Gao Han¡¯s face. He got into the car and closed the door. Ye Tianjiao tried to open the door, but Gao Han locked it from the inside. Chapter 68 - 68 068 A Good Match_1 ?68: Chapter 068: A Good Match_1 68: Chapter 068: A Good Match_1 ¡°Gao Han, open this door for me right now.¡± Watching Ye Tianjiao acting like a shrew, Gao Han slammed on the gas, and the car sped away like an arrow, leaving Ye Tianjiao sitting on the ground. Tears began to flow slowly from her eyes, sliding down her beautiful face. Even when crying, a beauty still looks good. But having seen Ye Tianjiao¡¯s unreasonable tantrum moments ago, no one dared to approach her casually. Seeing that the show was over, the crowd dispersed. A pair of leather shoes appeared in Ye Tianjiao¡¯s line of sight, followed by a pair of slender, jade-like hands, with a tissue in between the fingers. When Ye Tianjiao looked up, what she saw was a handsome face with a hint of mischief. ¡°Why do you look so miserable?¡± Seeing that she didn¡¯t take the tissue, the man simply leaned over and wiped her tears away for her. His actions were gentle, like he was handling a fragile treasure, and Ye Tianjiao didn¡¯t stop him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, shocked?¡± When he was done wiping away her tears, he flicked her forehead. Ye Tianjiao stammered, ¡°Why... why are you here?¡± The man¡¯s churning eyes cleared at her words, revealing a playful smile with a faint trace of concern. ¡°Didn¡¯t you call me to pick you up?¡± Right, after Gao Han hung up, she did call him, asking him to pick her up and accompany her for a day out. ¡°Still want to go?¡± The man reached out his hand to her, invitingly. Looking at the generous palm in front of her and thinking about its tender touch on her face earlier, Ye Tianjiao¡¯s heart thumped hard as she felt a tinge of guilt. After a good cry, her tumultuous emotions had calmed down. She realized she had been acting out. Gao Han had given her an out, but she hadn¡¯t taken it. ¡°It seems like you¡¯re not in a good mood, we can do it some other day.¡± The man withdrew his hand. ¡°My leg¡¯s numb, aren¡¯t you going to help me up?¡± Ye Tianjiao grumbled. The man who was about to leave came back to Ye Tianjiao¡¯s side, placed his hands around her waist, and helped her up with a slight effort. ¡°Can you stand?¡± He embraced her from behind, asking softly into her ear. Ye Tianjiao quickly disentangled herself from his arms, her ears turning a bit red. ¡°I¡¯m a married woman.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t mean anything by it, just checking on you. It seems like you¡¯re fine now, so I¡¯ll be off. And by the way, a beauty like you deserves to be cherished.¡± The man shrugged, hands in his pockets, maintaining a serious demeanour. As he was about to turn around, Ye Tianjiao rushed to his side, faced him, and looked at him in a daze. The man¡¯s thin lips curled into a beautiful arc, his face adorned with an enchanting smile and clear eyes. When such a man looks at you so intently, you might get the illusion that his heart and eyes are filled with only you. Ye Tianjiao shifted her gaze away, ¡°I...I¡¯m a mess right now, can you spend some time with me?¡± ¡°How can I decline an invitation from a beauty?¡± With all her attention on the man in front of her, Ye Tianjiao did not notice the car behind her. As she and the man chatted and laughed away, the car in her rear quickly departed. The man watched the departing tracks of the car, a deep haze passing through his eyes. Jun Mochan looked at the photo on his phone, his face impassive and a cold aura growing stronger around him. Ye Ranran, who was drawing by his side, felt his resentment and looked up from her sketchbook, ¡°Who¡¯s pissed you off again?¡± Jun Mochan handed her his phone, and seeing the two people in the car, Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes squinted in laughter, ¡°Not bad, they make a good pair.¡± Chapter 69 - 69 069 Charming_1 ?69: Chapter 069: Charming_1 69: Chapter 069: Charming_1 Jun Mochan stroked his chin with two fingers: ¡°That¡¯s faster than I expected.¡± ¡°At this rate, it wouldn¡¯t be long before Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han get divorced,¡± Ye Ranran clapped her hands together. Should she celebrate by setting off a firecracker when the time comes? Jun Mochan¡¯s expression turned somewhat dangerous: ¡°Are you that eager to see them divorced?¡± ¡°Of course. I dream of seeing Ye Tianjiao divorce Gao Han, the Ye family going bankrupt, and kicking them out,¡± Ye Ranran sounded unaffected by her husband¡¯s words and was speaking her mind. ¡°Ye Ranran, I am surprised to see you so persistent. Are you still clinging to the past with him?¡± Ye Ranran stared wide-eyed in disbelief: ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Which one of your eyes sees me still clinging to the past?¡± ¡°Then why are you hoping for their divorce?¡± Within Jun Mochan¡¯s dark pupils shimmered ripples that were like sunshine casting on a lake, scattering multiple colors, mesmerizing people. Ye Ranran was caught off guard and fell deep into his eyes, catching a glimpse of his panic and discontent. ¡°Are you jealous?¡± Ye Ranran grinned, her eyes bright with mirth. ¡°Your Mr. Jun has never been jealous of anyone before. Don¡¯t think you can change the subject that easily.¡± A smile spread from her eyes to the corners of her mouth until her entire face was full of mirth: ¡°Mr. Jun, I am your wife now. Even if I wanted to, I don¡¯t have the courage to abandon you, do I?¡± ¡°You¡¯re actually thinking of abandoning me?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s expression turned chilling. What? Was that the main point of the conversation here? Ye Ranran reached out, encircled Jun Mochan¡¯s neck, and rested her head on his chest. With a pout, she cooed, ¡°As long as Mr. Jun does not abandon me, I will not abandon you.¡± ¡°So, you¡¯ve learned to bargain.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s voice was devoid of any emotion. Ye Ranran frowns in dissatisfaction, ¡°Isn¡¯t this the time you¡¯re supposed to tell me you¡¯d never leave me?¡± What the hell was that threatening comment? ¡°Seeing as you already belong to me, do you think you can still abandon me?¡± Suddenly, all the sweetness was gone. ... After parting from the hospital, Gao Han drove for ten minutes, feeling more and more guilty towards Ye Tianjiao. She had done so much for him, and now that she had married him, it was only natural that she would be upset with the recent events. As her husband, he should comfort her and live a good life with her. With that thought, Gao Han turned the car around and headed back. Unexpectedly, he witnessed that scene earlier, which felt extremely ironic to him. He put the pedal to the metal, even ignoring multiple red lights. He opened the car window fully, letting the wind rush in from outside. After his head cleared up a bit, Gao Han finally stopped the car. He lifted his gaze slightly and saw the word ¡®Enchantment¡¯. The largest bar in the city¡ªEnchantment. Gao Han opened the car door and walked in. ¡°Oh, look who¡¯s here ¨C the younger Mr. Gao. What a rare guest.¡± ¡°Come on, sit here, let¡¯s have a drink.¡± Seeing Gao Han, the young and wealthy regulars at the bar crowded around him. Although the Gao Group was recently in trouble, there was still a chance for a turnaround as long as it hadn¡¯t fallen yet. So naturally, they approached him to exchange pleasantries. Gao Han sat down without uttering a word, just pouring drink after drink. ¡°Mr. Gao, why are you sitting here drinking all by yourself?¡± A man walked over. ¡°Get lost.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave. It¡¯s not like I was eager to engage with you anyway.¡± The man murmured and left with his drink. Chapter 70 - 70 070 Rift_1 ?70: Chapter 070: Rift_1 70: Chapter 070: Rift_1 Gao Han continued to drink glass after glass, the loud music blaring continuously. ¡°Handsome, why alone?¡± A beauty holding a drink sat next to Gao Han. Gao Han didn¡¯t even glance at her. The beauty boldly put her hand on his shoulder. Gao Han turned his head, his gaze sharp as a dagger, and the beauty quickly withdrew her hand in fright. Gao Han slowly stood up, his footsteps wavering from too much drink. He stumbled forward, but when he saw the people on the stage, his expression froze. He widened his eyes as if he were seeing a hallucination. On the stage, a seductive woman was dancing enthusiastically, standing out like a crane in a flock of chickens despite the many people around her. Next to her stood a handsome man. Their bodies intertwined occasionally, their movements synchronized in dance. Gao Han¡¯s face turned black as he returned to his seat and continued to drown his sorrows in alcohol. His phone, at this very moment, rang. ¡°Hello.¡± Without even looking, Gao Han picked up the call. ¡°President Gao, the presentation for tomorrow¡¯s tender has been sent to your mailbox. Please check if there are any changes needed.¡± Spoke an energetic and pleasant voice from the phone. Gao Han pictured a charming face in his mind. ¡°I¡¯m at Charm Bar. Come over.¡± Gao Han changed the subject and then hung up the phone. He drank while staring fixedly at the man and woman on the stage. After the dance, Ye Tianjiao felt much of her frustration had dissipated. She descended from the stage with the man. ¡°Thanks for today. I feel a lot better now.¡± Flicking her hair flirtatiously, Ye Tianjiao thanked the man. ¡°Stop saying thank you. You¡¯ve already said it too many times tonight.¡± The man feigned annoyance. Ye Tianjiao stuck her tongue out, ¡°Sorry, force of habit.¡± The secretary arrived shortly. She searched around Charm Bar until she finally found a heavily drunk Gao Han. ¡°President Gao.¡± The secretary went over and nudged Gao Han. Gao Han lifted his head from his arm, opened his half-closed eyes, ¡°There you are. That was quick.¡± ¡°President Gao, you¡¯ve had too much. Let me help you home.¡± The secretary put his arm across her shoulder, her other hand supporting his waist, so he could lean on her for support. The towering masculine body enveloped her, his unfamiliar male scent creeping into her nostrils. The secretary¡¯s face instantly flushed red. ¡°Your face is red.¡± Like he¡¯d discovered a new continent, Gao Han prodded the secretary¡¯s face. ¡°President Gao, you¡¯re drunk. I¡¯ll take you home.¡± The familiar honorific made Ye Tianjiao turn her head, and then she saw a familiar figure. The smile on her face quickly vanished. ¡°Gao Han.¡± She stood in front of Gao Han, seething. Gao Han looked up at her and snickered, ¡°You have the nerve to stand in front of me?¡± ¡°And you dare to question me, who is she?¡± Ye Tianjiao pointed at the secretary. ¡°Mrs. Gao, I¡¯m President Gao¡¯s secretary.¡± Out of fear that Ye Tianjiao would misunderstand, the woman hurriedly explained. Far from calming down, Ye Tianjiao¡¯s expression grew even darker, ¡°Secretary? Dressed like this, it¡¯s clear what you¡¯re after.¡± ¡°She¡¯s my secretary, when is it your turn to criticise? Ye Tianjiao, I haven¡¯t even started on you, and you¡¯re already blaming me.¡± Gao Han pointed at her. When had Ye Tianjiao ever faced such accusations? She charged forward angrily, ¡°Blaming me? Gao Han, who gave you the right to blame me?¡± She aggressively pushed the secretary aside in an attempt to get her out of the way. Chapter 71 - 71 071 Parting on Bad Terms_1 ?71: Chapter 071: Parting on Bad Terms_1 71: Chapter 071: Parting on Bad Terms_1 The secretary staggered, Gao Han, who was leaning entirely on the secretary, stepped back twice, and nearly fell over as the secretary stopped supporting him. ¡°Slap.¡± He slapped Ye Tianjiao hard across the face. Ye Tianjiao¡¯s face instantly swelled on one side; she covered her face and stumbled, falling into the arms of the man behind her. The encounter at Charm Bar could be described as ending on a sour note. After Ye Tianjiao left the bar, Ye Tianjing immediately called, saying their mother had woken up. As soon as Ye Tianjiao heard the news, she hurried over. Outside the hospital room, Ye Tianjing saw Ye Tianjiao rush in hastily. When he saw the red, swollen half of her face, the look in his eyes turned horrifying: ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Ye Tianjiao turned her face away, not letting him see. ¡°How¡¯s mom?¡± Ye Tianjing blocked her way: ¡°Dad¡¯s inside. Are you planning to see mom looking like this? Do you want her to faint from shock right after waking up?¡± Ye Tianjiao had a slightly tense expression on her face: ¡°Well brother, what should I do?¡± Ye Tianjing really wanted to scold her, but seeing how pitiful she looked, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to do it: ¡°I¡¯ll have someone bring some ice, you can use it to soothe the swelling.¡± Ye Tianjiao sat with her head hanging low on a chair, her figure lonely. ¡°Where¡¯s Gao Han?¡± Ye Tianjing walked over briskly and sat next to her. Ye Tianjiao pulled the corner of her mouth into a forced smile: ¡°He is busy with company matters.¡± ¡°Really? Then how did you get that injury on your face?¡± Ye Tianjing¡¯s gaze was as sharp as a torch, insightful as if he could see through everything. Ye Tianjiao turned her head, refusing to meet Ye Tianjing¡¯s probing eyes: ¡°Brother, don¡¯t ask anymore.¡± ¡°You think I want to ask? We¡¯re in dire circumstances, do you want to stir up more trouble?¡± Ye Tianjing involuntarily raised his voice, sounding accusing. ¡°Do you think I want this? Am I not distressed when the company is in trouble? When have I ever come to you guys for solace?¡± Tears welled up in Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes. Seeing Ye Tianjiao¡¯s teary eyes, Ye Tianjing couldn¡¯t get angry anymore. He heaved a sigh and said earnestly: ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened between you and Gao Han, but as a man, no one likes his wife to be too capricious, especially now when company matters are causing headaches. No one has the energy to coax you. If you quarrel with him at this time, you are pushing him towards other women.¡± Ye Tianjing¡¯s words woke Ye Tianjiao up. ¡°Then brother, what should I do now? I just had an argument with him.¡± Ye Tianjiao buried her face in her hands. Ye Tianjing patted her back: ¡°It was just an argument, it¡¯s fine. If he dares to leave you, I¡¯ll help teach him a lesson.¡± Ye Tianjiao finally burst into tears in Ye Tianjing¡¯s arms, as if venting all her suppressed grievances of the past days. After the crying was over, their father came out of the room. Seeing Ye Tianjiao with red and swollen eyes from crying, he frowned: ¡°What are you crying about?¡± Ye Tianjiao turned her face, the swollen half hidden in darkness, so her father didn¡¯t see it: ¡°I¡¯m happy that mom woke up.¡± ¡°Wipe away your tears, go home and rest if you¡¯re tired. The hospital has people watching over her, it doesn¡¯t look good for a married daughter to keep running back to her parents¡¯ house.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll accompany mom for one night, then leave tomorrow. Han is busy with company matters these days, and I can¡¯t help much, so I¡¯ll take care of mom in the hospital.¡± Ye Tianjiao wiped away her tears. Their father didn¡¯t say anything more and left with his entourage. Chapter 72 - 72 072 Flower Maniac_1 ?72: Chapter 072: Flower Maniac_1 72: Chapter 072: Flower Maniac_1 ¡°Alright, Dad¡¯s gone now. No need to be nervous anymore.¡± Ye Tianjing patted Ye Tianjiao¡¯s shoulder. Ye Tianjiao grabbed the ice in his hand: ¡°I¡¯m going to apply this again, once the swelling has gone down, I¡¯ll go in.¡± Ye Tianjing nodded and walked towards the ward. With their mother awakened, and the company¡¯s supply chain and finances sorted, things seemed temporarily stable. Their father finally had time to handle matters pertaining to their mother. Early in the morning, their father had called Ye Tianjiao and Ye Tianjing to his office. ¡°What exactly happened to your mother?¡± Ye Mansion hit the table, demanding to know. His wife was his first love, and the only woman he had ever loved. On top of their decades long relationship, it would be a lie if he said he had not been worried all this while. It was this worry that had kept him from dealing with the perpetrator. Now that he knew his wife was alright, his rage came pouring out. ¡°Dad, are you really clueless or just pretending to be? If it weren¡¯t for Ye Ranran causing a scene that day, why would mom be pushed down by her?¡± Again, it was Ye Ranran. ¡°Dad, she won¡¯t rest until she tears our family apart.¡± Ye Tianjiao¡¯s lips tightened, his tone bleak, splintered with faint anger. A flash of coldness passed through their father¡¯s murky eyes. Observing their father¡¯s fury, the clever Ye Tianjiao instantly shut up. ¡°Dad, I think before making any accusations, we should first investigate this matter accurately to avoid blaming the wrong person.¡± Ye Tianjing made a timely appearance, playing the peacemaker. ¡°Brother, there were so many witnesses. Could I have falsely accused her?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. I¡¯ve got a clear grasp of things. There¡¯s no need for more chatter.¡± With that, their father rose to his feet. Knowing that he was sure to go and confront Ye Ranran, a sense of satisfaction surfaced in Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes. Ye Ranran, he waited eagerly to see how long she could remain so smug. ... In the ward. Ye Ranran opened her eyes to see Jun Mochan not far away. She blinked her eyes vigorously, suspecting she was hallucinating. ¡°Mrs. Jun, are you feeling drowsy this early in the morning?¡± Jun Mochan put away his laptop and came over, quickly helping to lift her. Observing his natural movements, Ye Ranran¡¯s lips curled up into a smile, ¡°Am I not allowed to become bashful on seeing handsome Mr. Jun?¡± Jun Mochan paused for a moment and then flashed a charming smile, ¡°You can look at me as long as you want, Mrs Jun. I¡¯ll only let you look.¡± A blush rapidly crept to Ye Ranran¡¯s face. This man was becoming increasingly shameless. Ye Ranran thought that, as usual, he would leave for work after breakfast. But today, he remained seated there, relaxed and composed. Perhaps Ye Ranran¡¯s gaze was too intense, Jun Mochan placed this laptop aside. Ye Ranran thought he wanted to push something away, only to find herself suddenly pulled into a close-up of his handsome face and their lips locked together. ¡°Um... You...¡± As Ye Ranran tried to ask what he was doing, she unwittingly gave Jun Mochan the perfect opportunity to deepen the kiss. It was only when Ye Ranran was gasping for air that Jun Mochan released her. ¡°Jun Mochan, what in the world are you doing so early in the morning?¡± Ye Ranran wiped her mouth. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you were looking at me with such desire, I just thought to satisfy you a bit.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes were as black as night, flickered with various emotions¡ªdazzling like a shooting star, yet intoxicatingly alluring. There¡¯s no denying it, this man was truly too good looking¡ªit was a crime to be this handsome. ¡°Seems like I haven¡¯t satisfied you enough, Mrs. Jun.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes were full of mirth. He was teasing, charming, yet subtly tender. A man like this was like a poppy flower; once you¡¯re addicted, you could never quit. Chapter 73 - 73 073 No Matter How Important Nothing is More Important than Accompanying My Wife_1 ?73: Chapter 073: No Matter How Important, Nothing is More Important than Accompanying My Wife_1 73: Chapter 073: No Matter How Important, Nothing is More Important than Accompanying My Wife_1 Ye Ranran was staring blankly at him as if she wanted to see into his heart through his eyes. His eyes, always so clouded, were slowly lighting up with a beautiful color. Just like the spring wind of March making peach blossoms bloom. ¡°So that¡¯s the case...¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s hand moved from Ye Ranran¡¯s lips to her face. ¡°No need.¡± Ye Ranran turned her face away. ¡°Hehe.¡± Jun Mochan chuckled in a low voice. Feeling again like he was messing with her, Ye Ranran shot him a glare. ¡°Mrs. Jun, you¡¯re injured now.¡± His implication was that he couldn¡¯t even do anything inappropriate if he wanted. ¡°Hold on till you recover, then I¡¯ll naturally satisfy you.¡± Jun Mochan pinched her face, comforting her. Ye Ranran: ¡°... ¡± She had been teased again. Ye Ranran thought this was the most embarrassing moment she had, but after hearing a cough from the doorway, she felt like finding a hole to crawl into. ¡°I didn¡¯t hear anything.¡± Ah Chuan insisted, pretending to be clueless. ¡°If there¡¯s anything, say it outside.¡± Jun Mochan began walking out. Knowing he didn¡¯t want to discuss serious matters in front of her, Ye Ranran didn¡¯t mind and sat on the bed, patting her face. The phone on the bedside table rang. Ye Ranran was about to pick it up, but just then, Mei Zi came in from outside. ¡°Madam, let me.¡± Mei Zi picked up the phone, slid the unlock key, and put it next to Ye Ranran¡¯s ear after answering. It was Ye Ranran¡¯s client who had called. The deadline for submission was tomorrow and they had not been able to reach her online, so they called to check in. ¡°I¡¯ve had some accidents these few days and am currently in the hospital. But the draft is done, it¡¯s just that it¡¯ll trouble you to come to the hospital.¡± Ye Ranran said gently, her voice sweet. ¡°Today? Okay, sure, see you later.¡± Just as she hung up, Jun Mochan returned. ¡°Who were you talking to?¡± His tone seemed a bit dangerous, as if he¡¯d heard something. Ye Ranran didn¡¯t understand why he had suddenly changed face. She gave him a doubtful look and said, ¡°My client, they are coming to pick up the design draft. What are you upset about?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just worried that you¡¯ll be running around before you¡¯ve fully recovered.¡± The shadows in Jun Mochan¡¯s eyes dissipated quickly. Ah Chuan, standing behind him, pretended he didn¡¯t hear anything. The president was halfway through signing documents when he heard the lady¡¯s voice and quickly walked in. He had never seen the president so eager before, as if Ranran would be snatched away by some wild man if he was one step behind. ¡°By the way, don¡¯t you need to go to work today?¡± Ye Ranran cast a look at Ah Chuan behind him. ¡°Ah Chuan, wait for me outside.¡± Jun Mochan shot him a glance. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Ah Chuan took Mei Zi with him as he left. ¡°I¡¯m off today. Why? Does my wife not want me around her?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s voice was deep, mesmerizing. ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to neglect your work.¡± Ye Ranran turned to look out the window. ¡°No matter how important the work is, it can¡¯t be more important than being with my wife.¡± Jun Mochan said lightly. His words were like a stone falling into Ye Ranran¡¯s heart, creating ripples. This man always gave her a false impression, as if he couldn¡¯t live without her. Blush spread from Ye Ranran¡¯s cheeks to her ears, her delicate skin radiating an enticing glow under the rosy hue. Jun Mochan indeed wanted to taste her. This time, he just gave her a light peck and quickly let her go. Because his phone beeped in his pocket. Watching Jun Mochan¡¯s retreating figure, Ye Ranran composed herself, got up from the bed since she had arranged to meet her client in the hospital garden at eleven. It was ten now. She washed her face and then wandered in the garden. That should be just about right. Chapter 74 - 74 074 Questioning_1 ?74: Chapter 074: Questioning_1 74: Chapter 074: Questioning_1 She thought that Jun Mochan wouldn¡¯t be home so soon, but to her surprise, he came back just as she had stepped out of the door. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Seeing Ye Ranran leaving, Jun Mochan¡¯s eyebrows frowned in displeasure. Mei Zi was frightened by his demeanor and forgot to reply. It was Ye Ranran who said, ¡°I just wanted to go sit in the garden, is there a problem with that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t, but the garden is crowded, and I¡¯m worried something might happen to you.¡± Jun Mochan pushed Mei Zi aside and wrapped his arm around Ye Ranran¡¯s waist. A sweltering heat seeped through her thin clothes and onto her skin, leaving Ye Ranran flushed all over. She wanted to push Jun Mochan away, but his grip was too tight, not giving her any chance to escape. What a jealous man, Ye Ranran thought as she pressed her lips together, leaning all her weight on him. Hand in hand, they strolled through the garden. ¡°Tired? Want to take a break?¡± After just a couple of steps, Jun Mochan asked this. They had only walked about a hundred steps, but he had asked this question at least ten times. ¡°Mr. Jun, I¡¯m not that weak,¡± Ye Ranran said, looking straight ahead. There was a young couple playing under a tree, the young woman lying on the young man¡¯s back, her face lit up with laughter. ¡°You want that?¡± Jun Mochan followed her gaze, a bright smile on his lips. Having caught his insinuation, Ye Ranran quickly shook her head: ¡°No, just looking.¡± Are all men like this? Do they think women like anything they look at for more than three seconds? ¡°Women are known to hide their true feelings. However, you may only dream about it now.¡± Jun Mochan said with a meaningful glance at her injured shoulder, ¡°You can think about it when your injuries are healed.¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± When Ye Ranran felt tired and sat down to rest, a client arrived. Jun Mochan, who was originally sitting beside Ye Ranran, left to take a phone call. ¡°Is that your husband?¡± The client glanced at Jun Mochan¡¯s retreating figure. Ye Ranran nodded: ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°How thoughtful of him. You¡¯re very lucky.¡± The client packed up the design draft, ¡°The design is excellent. I¡¯m very happy with it. Now, I must leave as I have other matters to attend.¡± When praised, Ye Ranran¡¯s face lit up, her already beautiful face radiant with delight, dazzling everyone present. The client left only after taking a few more glances, mesmerized by her beauty. The client had approved the draft, which meant that the remaining payment was secured. Ye Ranran felt elated. Just as she was about to move away from the now more intense sun, a man stormed out and stood in front of her. Who else could it be if not Ye Ranran¡¯s father? ¡°Dad.¡± Upon seeing him, Ye Ranran called out in a soft tone. Ye Ranran¡¯s father¡¯s eyes twitched, veins bulging: ¡°You didn¡¯t answer my calls, and I thought you were out fooling around with some guy, but to my surprise, you were hiding here.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s good mood was swept away by those words. Her eyes hardened into icy daggers, as if encased in a thick layer of armor, effectively blocking him out. ¡°Hiding? I am living here openly.¡± She never did anything she was ashamed of, why would she need to hide? ¡°What a righteous statement, you pushed your mother down, she¡¯s still in the hospital, have you visited her even once? Have you inquired about her condition?¡± So he had come to blame her. Ye Ranran looked at him scornfully, ¡°Mother? Dad, are you forgetting due to old age? My mother has been dead for twelve years.¡± ¡°How dare you curse her...¡± In anger, her father raised his hand to slap her. Chapter 75 - 75 075 The Weight of Jun Mochan_1 ?75: Chapter 075: The Weight of Jun Mochan_1 75: Chapter 075: The Weight of Jun Mochan_1 ¡°Mr. Ye, she is my wife. If you lay a hand on her, expect my lawyers at your doorstep tomorrow.¡± A neither salty nor bland voice echoed from not far away. Jun Mochan held a cellphone in one hand, and the other hand in his pocket. The sunlight showered on him, making his figure seem even taller. He elegantly strolled over to Ye Ranran¡¯s side. His extraordinary demeanor resonated with an aura so powerful that even a seasoned businessman like Mr. Ye found it suffocating. Jun Mochan¡¯s large hand encompassed Ye Ranran¡¯s waist, like a solid wall protecting her from all adversities, ¡°Dare to accuse my wife, and vilify my wife, Mr. Ye, have you thought about the consequences?¡± He treasured the woman he held dear and wouldn¡¯t cause her even the slightest discomfort. Yet Mr. Ye dared to audaciously accuse. Where did he get this courage? This right? Jun Mochan¡¯s face still held a gentle smile, however, a sense of coldness seeped out from his body, engulfing Mr. Ye in an intimidating aura. His dark eyes were as sharp as a hawk. Even without saying a word, he had the power to instill fear. ¡°I am her father. If she does something wrong, why can¡¯t I correct her?¡± Mr. Ye answered with a strained calmness, slightly lacking confidence. ¡°She did something wrong? Oh, I want to know exactly what my wife has done wrong.¡± Jun Mochan pulled Ye Ranran back onto the seat: ¡°You have fifteen minutes. Speak.¡± ¡°This is a matter between my daughter and me. As an outsider, don¡¯t you think you should step back, Mr. Jun?¡± Jun Mochan sneered, as if he had heard a ridiculous joke. ¡°Mr. Ye, you still don¡¯t understand. She is my wife, my person, do you think I should sit here?¡± Mr. Ye¡¯s face turned ashen: ¡°I cannot manage my daughter well, I am truly unable to shoulder the responsibility of Mrs. Jun... ¡°Whether you can or not, I decide. I am the one who married her, not you, right?¡± Jun Mochan interrupted Mr. Ye impatiently. His eyes, deep as a well, were brewing an impending storm. His lips were curved in a gentle smile, which was nowhere near reaching his eyes. ¡°You don¡¯t need to teach her. Ranran is perfect, I am satisfied. But you, as a father, didn¡¯t perform your responsibilities, as a guardian, you didn¡¯t fulfill your duties, so on what grounds are you blaming her?¡± ¡°As Ranran¡¯s husband, if Ranran is wrong, I can take the punishment for her. But if she isn¡¯t to blame for this ¨C you better be ready to face the consequences of slandering Mrs. Jun.¡± His casual words were spoken like discussing what to eat for the day, but the threat was loud and clear for anyone mindful to hear. ¡°Everyone saw it with their own eyes. How could it be wrong? Even if that woman wasn¡¯t her biological mother, she was never treated unfairly. How could she be so cruel?¡± Mr. Ye bellowed with a furious voice. Coldness surfaced in Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes, ¡°Cruel? Daddy, are you sure you saw me push her?¡± When faced with the question, Mr. Ye appeared doubtful. But he believed that Ye Tianjiao wouldn¡¯t lie to him so he affirmed, ¡°Tianjiao witnessed you push her. Can there still be a mistake?¡± Ye Ranran furrowed her brows, ¡°What if I say I didn¡¯t?¡± She bit her lower lip lightly, looking wronged. Mr. Ye remained unmoved: ¡°Your sister wouldn¡¯t falsely accuse you. When you created a scene, your mother tried to separate you two and you...¡± Chapter 76 - 76 076 The Truth_1 ?76: Chapter 076: The Truth_1 76: Chapter 076: The Truth_1 Ye Ranran suddenly realized, ¡°Actually, the truth of the matter isn¡¯t really important, is it? My father only believes what my sister says. If my sister says I pushed her, then naturally I did. As for my denial, he naturally assumes that I¡¯m lying, doesn¡¯t he?¡± Ye Ranran clenched her fist, telling herself not to be sad, not to be heartbroken. But her eyes still turned red. Jun Mochan unclenched her hand and tightly clasped her fingers, ¡°If Mr. Ye has come to talk about this matter, I understand. As for whether the matter is truly as Mr. Ye says, I will investigate that myself clearly.¡± ¡°As previously agreed, if the fault lies with Ranran, I will pay for the medical expenses and apologize. However, if it is not, then Mr. Ye must prepare himself for the serious consequences of wrongly accusing Mrs. Jun.¡± After finishing speaking, he did not give Ye Ranran¡¯s father time to respond. Jun Mochan immediately picked up Ye Ranran and left. Back in the hospital room, Jun Mochan lifted Ye Ranran¡¯s chin, staring at her reddened eyes, ¡°If I wasn¡¯t here today, were you prepared to be slapped?¡± Hearing the annoyance in his words, Ye Ranran was fearlessly happy, instead of fearful like in the past. She clung to his waist, resting her head on his shoulder, ¡°Aren¡¯t you here though? Isn¡¯t it good to give you a chance to show yourself?¡± Seeing her relying on him like a little kitten, the hard lines of Jun Mochan¡¯s face immediately became softer. He sighed, holding her tightly, ¡°If I¡¯m not here, and if they come, just let the bodyguards throw them out, okay?¡± ¡°Your relatives are no good, all of them are bone-crushing, I¡¯m afraid they will gnaw you down to nothing.¡± Ye Ranran puckered her lips slightly, ¡°It¡¯s not that exaggerated, besides, I¡¯m not easy to bully.¡± With that, she waved her fist, ¡°You didn¡¯t see last time when I disciplined Ye Tianjiao, I beat her so she couldn¡¯t fight back.¡± ¡°Yes, and got yourself all bruised. The doctor even thought you have some masochistic tendencies, playing with pain for fun.¡± Hearing this, Ye Ranran became angry. When the doctor said it, she didn¡¯t react immediately, but the more she thought about it afterwards, the more it seemed wrong. The words, how could they be so strange? She decided to ask Jun Mochan about it. Upon learning the truth, she wished she could die of embarrassment. ¡°How could you laugh.¡± Looking up, seeing the warm smile on Jun Mochan¡¯s face, Ye Ranran¡¯s anger ignited. ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t laugh.¡± Jun Mochan reined in his laughter, and said seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I definitely won¡¯t despise you for being clumsy.¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± Why does that sentence sound like blatant contempt? ... After everything that happened in the morning, Ye Ranran felt a bit tired. After lunch, she decided to rest. Listening to her steady breathing, Jun Mochan tucked her in, then walked out of the room. ¡°Ah Chuan, sell all the Ye Family shares in my hands. Don¡¯t ask why, just do it.¡± ¡°Also, find some witnesses from when Du Lin was injured.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bring them to the hospital. Arrange a meeting elsewhere. Anyway, I want to find out how Du Lin was injured, I need the results by tomorrow.¡± Hearing Jun Mochan¡¯s instructions, Ah Chuan¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°But, sir...¡± Before he could finish, Jun Mochan hung up the phone. Ah Chuan: ¡°...¡± In the evening, the doctor, as usual, came for a check-up. After inspecting Ye Ranran¡¯s wound, he said, ¡°Not bad, we can remove the stitches tomorrow.¡± A smile lingered on Jun Mochan¡¯s lips, but his face didn¡¯t reveal much emotion. Chapter 77 - 77 077 Meeting_1 ?77: Chapter 077: Meeting_1 77: Chapter 077: Meeting_1 The doctor couldn¡¯t tell if he was happy or upset, but sensing the low pressure atmosphere, hastily left after the examination. ¡°I can have the stitches removed soon, aren¡¯t you happy?¡± Ye Ranran picked up a mirror from the side. Because of the injury on her head, the hair on both sides of the wound had been cut off. Now she looked like she was balding in the middle, missing a chunk of hair. It was hideous. Ye Ranran put down the mirror after a while. ¡°Want to hear about the culprit?¡± Jun Mochan sat next to her. Ye Ranran shook her head: ¡°I don¡¯t want to know. Regardless, you won¡¯t let her off easily.¡± Indeed, Zhao Yue Li was in a dire situation, a large crowd came to make trouble right after her surgery. The criticism towards her was harsh. If it weren¡¯t for the doctors and nurses holding them back, they might have been throwing eggs at her. That was not the worst. The charges of intentional injury, the fine for not being able to compensate in time, and finally, the vengeance from the director¡¯s original family. It would be enough for her to spend the rest of her life in prison. The next day, Ye Ranran was pushed to the medical room just as she woke up, and the stitches were removed while she was still drowsy. ¡°Don¡¯t get it wet within three days, and we will check the healing of the wound after three days.¡± The doctor carefully instructed. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± After memorizing all the things she couldn¡¯t eat and touch, Jun Mochan supported Ye Ranran back to the ward. ¡°I can walk by myself.¡± ¡°Madam, are you inviting me to carry you?¡± Ye Ranran: ¡°...¡± This man was becoming increasingly sly. Halfway there, his phone rang, and Jun Mochan decisively hung it up. When the phone rang again, Jun Mochan hung up again. When the phone rang a third time, Jun Mochan was about to hang up again. Ye Ranran spoke, ¡°You might as well answer it. I have Mei Zi here.¡± Looking at the flashing name ¡°Ah Chuan¡± on the screen, Jun Mochan nodded. ¡°You take Madam back.¡± Jun Mochan handed Ye Ranran to Mei Zi and then answered the phone. They had only walked a few steps when they ran into a man. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Ye Ranran¡¯s face froze for a few seconds, but quickly returned to normal. She walked past him as if she hadn¡¯t seen him. Just as they were about to pass each other, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. ¡°Ranran...¡± The low and magnetic voice, when he called her name, it was filled with soft caress. Once, she loved to hear her name from his mouth, but now... Heh, thinking about it was incredibly ironic. ¡°Mr. Gao, if you have something to say, say it properly. Don¡¯t touch me. You¡¯re married, and I am too. If we create unnecessary misunderstandings and attract unnecessary troubles, it won¡¯t be good.¡± Ye Ranran was distant, her face expressionless, as if the man standing in front of her was a stranger she had just met. ¡°I know I wronged you before. I shouldn¡¯t have lied to you. Actually I feel guilty too, I...¡± He didn¡¯t know what was going on. Ye Ranran¡¯s face came to mind after he got drunk last night. He thought of her gentleness, thought of her smile. ¡°The past is the past, there¡¯s no need to say more. If Mr. Gao came today to reminisce, then there¡¯s really nothing for us to talk about.¡± As Ye Ranran was about to shake off Gao Han¡¯s hand, a sharp voice came from behind: ¡°What are you two doing?¡± Ye Tianjiao rushed over, seeing their intertwined hands, he broke down and yelled: ¡°Ah.¡± Strident voice piercing through the ear, Ye Ranran immediately frowned: ¡°Let go quickly.¡± Chapter 78 - 78 078 Shameless_1 ?78: Chapter 078: Shameless_1 78: Chapter 078: Shameless_1 Gao Han let go of her hand, but he didn¡¯t coddle Ye Tianjiao as he usually did. Ye Ranran was sophisticated and gentle, just like a daisy. She was neither competitive nor disruptive and didn¡¯t need his coddling or sweet words. Yet, when he faced difficulty, she would always stay by his side. She comforted him, encouraged him, and helped him. On the other hand, Ye Tianjiao was quite the opposite. She was like a rose, passionate and fiery, always needing care, unable to withstand the slightest bit of hardship. Now that she was free, Ye Ranran ignored the two and continued to make her way to the patient¡¯s room. ¡°Stop right there. Don¡¯t think you can leave without explaining what happened today.¡± Ye Tianjiao blocked Ye Ranran¡¯s way. Mockingly, Ye Ranran looked at her. ¡°Isn¡¯t it clear? Your husband wants to rekindle his relationship with me.¡± Ye Tianjiao was taken aback by Ye Ranran¡¯s bold declaration, pointing at her face accusingly, ¡°Ye Ranran, you¡¯re shameless!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need dignity when dealing with someone like you, shameless, sordid and only knows how to sleep with other people¡¯s men.¡± Ye Ranran retorted calmly. Compared to Ye Tianjiao seething with anger, Ye Ranran displayed much more composure. The two of them side by side emphasized the differences between them. ¡°Ye Ranran, you¡¯re despicable!¡± Ye Tianjiao rushed forward, trying to grab Ye Ranran. Mei Zi spread her arms in front of Ye Ranran, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Just as Ye Tianjiao was about to reach Mei Zi, Gao Han stepped in and pulled her back, ¡°Tianjio, things aren¡¯t what you think they are.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen it with my own eyes, yet you still want to lie to me, Gao Han, are you regretting it?¡± ¡°Enough.¡± Gao Han¡¯s face hardened. Ye Tianjiao stopped questioning, just looking at him through tear-filled eyes, as if she had suffered the greatest injustice. With a lack of interest, Ye Ranran responded, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Gao Han called for her. Isn¡¯t it over yet? Ye Ranran¡¯s face was filled with irritation, ¡°I¡¯ve put up with you both for long enough. If you have something to say, say it, if not, then get out. I don¡¯t want to see either of you.¡± Gao Han was not accustomed to this curt side of Ye Ranran. Even on the day of the forced marriage, she had never spoken like this. ¡°Ranran, how did you become like this?¡± ¡°Enough, I have nothing more to say.¡± Ye Ranran signaled the bodyguard. The bodyguard immediately stepped forward, ¡°Make way.¡± ¡°I have something to say.¡± Ye Tianjiao suddenly remembered the real issue at hand. Ye Ranran glanced at her, arrogantly responding, ¡°Speak.¡± That look made it clear that she didn¡¯t place Ye Tianjiao in any high regard. ¡°Today, the company¡¯s stocks plummeted dramatically. Upon investigation, someone has been sabotaging it from behind the scenes. Was that person you?¡± Ye Tianjiao took a deep breath, trying to sound as calm as possible. ¡°If you have already found out that someone has been causing trouble in secret, why don¡¯t you confront that person directly? What does this have to do with me?¡± Ye Ranran looked at her with ridicule. ¡°Do you all think I¡¯m easy to bully? Accusing me every time something goes wrong?¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s sarcastic tone made Gao Han uncomfortable, his brows furrowed in a frown, ¡°Ranran, Tianjio is just asking you a question, she doesn¡¯t mean anything else.¡± ¡°Shut up, what does it have to do with you when I speak to her? And how does it matter to you what tone I use?¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s eyes shot a sharp glance at Gao Han. ¡°So, you¡¯re admitting that you did it?¡± Ye Tianjiao twisted her words. Instead of getting angry, Ye Ranran laughed, ¡°So what if I did? What if I didn¡¯t?¡± ¡°Ye Ranran, you also have a share in the family company. What benefit does destroying it bring you?¡± Ye Tianjiao raised her voice. Chapter 79 - 79 079 Instigation and Counter Instigation_1 ?79: Chapter 079: Instigation and Counter Instigation_1 79: Chapter 079: Instigation and Counter Instigation_1 ¡°What I do has nothing to do with my wife.¡± His icy tone echoed like a splash of cold water, rapidly lowering the surrounding temperature. Jun Mochan gracefully stepped in from the side, standing next to Ye Ranran, his countenance cold as he stared at Gao Han and Ye Tianjiao. ¡°What are you two here for?¡± he asked. The formidable aura, the fierce momentum, caused Ye Tianjiao¡¯s face to pale and her breathing to falter. ¡°Jun Mochan.¡± Gao Han muttered through gritted teeth. Ever since running into him, nothing good had happened. This told Gao Han just how much he despised Jun Mochan. ¡°Mr. Gao, using my call as an opportunity to harass my wife, what a great tactic. And your good wife, slinging mud before the facts have been established, utter nonsense. The two of you truly are a perfect match.¡± Without a single swear word, he insulted Gao Han and Ye Tianjiao entirely. Ye Tianjiao looked uncertain, her gaze wavering between Ye Ranran and Jun Mochan. ¡°Sister, you really got married? Why didn¡¯t you discuss such a big decision with the family first? This is not a matter to be trifled with!¡± Ye Tianjiao expressed her concern. Ye Ranran was thoroughly sick of her sister¡¯s hypocritical face. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you discuss it with me when you came to crash our wedding?¡± Ye Tianjiao reeled, her eyes filled with sorrow. ¡°I...I didn¡¯t mean to...if you really won¡¯t forgive me, then I¡¯ll leave...I¡¯ll give him back to you.¡± Again this play, again this tactic. It seemed that Ye Tianjiao only knew how to play the victim and pretend to be generous. ¡°Excellent, then divorce immediately.¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s expression instantly turned dangerous; he really didn¡¯t anticipate that Ye Ranran was still so attached to Gao Han. Joy flickered in the depths of Ye Tianjiao¡¯s eyes. She glanced cautiously at Jun Mochan. ¡°If I leave, will you immediately return to Han¡¯s side?¡± ¡°That¡¯s none of your business. Didn¡¯t you say you want me to forgive you? If you would just divorce and get out of my sight, never to appear again, then I¡¯ll forgive you. How about it?¡± ¡°But...¡± Before Ye Tianjiao could finish, Ye Ranran immediately cut her off. ¡°No buts. Just tell me, will you divorce or not?¡± Facing the pressing Ye Ranran, Ye Tianjiao began to cry. ¡°If you really want me to divorce that much, then I will. But aren¡¯t you letting Mr. Jun down by doing this?¡± Ye Ranran looked at her with disgust. ¡°Don¡¯t try to look pitiful in front of me. And to be clear, I¡¯m not forcing you to divorce. It was you who said you¡¯d give him up to me. Everyone here is a witness. It¡¯s not me forcing her.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t always make me the scapegoat. But Ye Tianjiao, your love is indeed different from others¡¯. People are independent individuals, and love and affection are usually involuntary. You, on the other hand, can push and discard it. If we didn¡¯t know better, we might think you¡¯re in love with a thoughtless object.¡± She said everything clearly and unassailably. Ye Tianjiao looked innocently at Ye Ranran. ¡°Sister, I just want you to be happy. I¡¯m willing to divorce if it can calm you down.¡± ¡°Ye Tianjiao, you¡¯re always so selfish. I don¡¯t care if you¡¯re truly willing, but have you asked the person beside you? Does he agree? Have you considered his feelings?¡± Ye Ranran looked at Gao Han, who was visibly upset. Ye Tianjiao glanced over and noticed Gao Han¡¯s unstable emotions. She panicked a little. ¡°Han, I didn¡¯t mean it that way.¡± ¡°Then what did you mean? Ye Tianjiao, what do you think of me?¡± Gao Han dodged her outstretched hand. Chapter 80 - 80 080 What Did I Say Wrong_1 ?80: Chapter 080: What Did I Say Wrong_1 80: Chapter 080: What Did I Say Wrong_1 ¡°If you two want to exchange feelings, we won¡¯t disturb you, but I don¡¯t like you bothering my wife for no reasons. If I see it again, it won¡¯t be as simple as a stock market crash.¡± After finishing his words, Jun Mochan lifted Ye Ranran in his arms. ¡°Jun Mochan, what are you doing? This is a hospital.¡± Ye Ranran blurted out in a coquettish tone. ¡°Walk faster this way, do you want to see these people?¡± ¡°No, let¡¯s hurry up.¡± Ye Ranran voluntarily wrapped herself around his neck. Ignorant to Gao Han and Ye Tianjiao, Jun Mochan and Ye Ranran walked out in their lovey-dovey mood. The sight made Gao Han and Ye Tianjiao forget their squabble. When they were gone and out of sight, they stood there still maintaining a stiff expression, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Once out of their sights, Jun Mochan¡¯s face lost its warmth, becoming cold, and extremely dangerous. ¡°Are you angry?¡± Ye Ranran gently asked. Everything was fine just now, why has he suddenly changed? ¡°Ye Ranran, did you say something wrong earlier?¡± Jun Mochan¡¯s gaze was deep, like a haunted forest in a chilling wind. Ye Ranran shrunk her neck, ¡°I, what did I say?¡± Jun Mochan pursed his lips, his expression becoming even more dangerous. By now, they had reached his room. Ye Ranran quietly feared if Jun Mochan would carelessly dump her onto the bed. Reaching the bedside, Jun Mochan halted. Frightened, Ye Ranran shut her eyes, preparing herself for another incident. The anticipated pain did not arrive. Instead, Jun Mochan gently placed her on the bed with delicate movements, treating her as if she were a fragile treasure. His perfect facial features outlined a flawless face, his deep eyes resembled a timeless well, hard to fathom. His lips were slightly pursed, indicating his current dissatisfaction. ¡°What did I say wrong? You¡¯re being vague, how am I supposed to guess?¡± As Jun Mochan tried to stand up, Ye Ranran clung onto him, like a koala on a tree. ¡°Get down.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Ye Ranran tightened her grip. Fearing she may fall, Jun Mochan held her hip, gently shifting her upwards. As their eyes met, Ye Ranran clearly saw the unhappiness and... possessiveness in his gaze. She watched him, startled. Jun Mochan awkwardly turned his head, ¡°Do you really want Ye Tianjiao and Gao Han to divorce?¡± ¡°Yes, having Ye Tianjao lose both his wife and wealth is quite satisfying right? But even if Gao Han gets divorced, I won¡¯t leave. Having Mr. Jun alone is enough.¡± Ye Ranran¡¯s face was pressed against Jun Mochan¡¯s. Her reliance softened Jun Mochan¡¯s stern expression significantly, ¡°Remember what you said today. Even if someday Gao Han regrets and wants to return, you should ignore him.¡± ¡°Mr. Jun, do I seem like a person who would go back on my words? When did you become so unconfident? And, were you just jealous?¡± Ye Ranran stared at him searching for answers. ¡°Can Gao Han compare to me? Why would I be jealous of him?¡± Ye Ranran:¡±...¡± He clearly was jealous, yet wouldn¡¯t admit it! Sliding down from Jun Mochan, Ye Ranran sat on the bed again. Jun Mochan stood at the side of the bed, looking down at her from a height. After the thread was removed, her not fully healed wound tore slightly, looking more intimidating and horrible. Looking at Ye Ranran¡¯s blood-stained head, Jun Mochan felt he was too lenient with Ye Tianjiao.
