Xuan Mohan's eyes churned with intense emotion. If it weren't for the little woman behind him, how could he have allowed this man to stand before him, holding his woman!
"I'd heard about my fiancée's senior before. I wanted to thank you, but today was too rushed. I'll 'host' you properly another day!"
They both understood the hidden meaning behind his words. In the blink of an eye, the two men had engaged in a silent battle.
But… Qin Haojie knew that the moment Xuan Mohan mentioned his fiancée, he had already lost his right to be here…
Just now, he had asked Qian Qian if she was willing to go with him. When she didn't speak, he knew he had lost. She had, at some point, fallen for someone else…
Even if that person had hurt her, she still didn't want to leave!
He had only been gone for a short while, yet he could still clearly remember the little girl with stars in her eyes that day. Did she even know how to smile now?
In his opinion, Xuan Mohan was not suitable for her at all!
Therefore, he would find a way to take her away and restore her to her former self!
Qin Haojie didn't look at Xuan Mohan. He turned his head to look at Lan Qian Qian, who was staring downwards, lost in thought. "Qian Qian, my words are always true. You rest well. I'll come to see you again another day."
Then he walked out.
Xuan Mohan clenched his fists. He was Lan Qian Qian's man, but at this moment, he felt like a clown.
Turning around, he looked at the small woman on the bed with unusual calmness. His voice was devoid of any inflection, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Lan Qian Qian suddenly looked up and smiled. "Heh heh! What does President Xuan want to hear?"
Although her smiling face was beautiful and enchanting, Xuan Mohan found it incredibly displeasing!
He paced to her side, only a breath away. Sometime ago, she had grown further and further away from him, and he could only force himself to keep her by his side.
"Why is he here?"
If she hadn't mentioned it, how would that man have found his way here!
Lan Qian Qian said casually, "President Xuan is so smart, figure it out yourself!"
She wasn't even hiding it now? Was she directly admitting that she was the one who called him here?!
Xuan Mohan leaned down and pressed her fiercely beneath him. Disregarding her protests, his large hands moved, and he buried his face in her neck…
"Ah! It hurts! Xuan Mohan, get off me!"
Hearing her cry out in pain, Xuan Mohan finally regained a shred of reason, but he still didn't lift his head.
She hadn't allowed anyone in for days, yet now she allowed him to come find her. What was it? Was she missing her senior? Or did she want to leave with him?
He would never let her go, unless he was dead!
"Didn't he say he'd come to see you again? When he sees these marks, he'll know whose person you are!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Qian Qian stopped resisting. Instead, her smile became even brighter. "Is President Xuan jealous?"
Xuan Mohan looked up, his gaze complex as he stared directly at her. "Yes, I am jealous. My fiancée never acknowledges me in public. If I don't make a move, what if she's snatched away by some wild man? What do you think, Qian Qian?"
Lan Qian Qian glanced at him carelessly. "President Xuan wants me to say it? I just like seniors like him, so sunny and handsome…"
Before she could finish, Xuan Mohan aggressively covered her mouth and roughly caressed her body.
He had been suppressing his emotions because she had met that senior. Hearing her say she liked him now, he couldn't control the mad jealousy within him!
After a long, long time, so long that Lan Qian Qian was left utterly exhausted on the bed, he suddenly got up, scooped her into his arms, and walked out.
As they reached the doorway, Lan Qian Qian's expression finally changed. Her voice, though soft and weak, carried a sharp edge. "Where are you taking me?"
Xuan Mohan, his face cold, did not stop his steps. "To get our marriage certificate."
"Put me down!"
But Xuan Mohan was also angry, and more than that, he was uneasy. He urgently needed to give her a status!
Seeing that he was still doing as he pleased, Lan Qian Qian suddenly softened her body and said gently, "Does President Xuan like a ghost bride?"
With that one sentence, Xuan Mohan froze in his tracks, as if frozen by ice, showing no reaction.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "You promised me you'd get the certificate once you recovered a bit."
Had she changed her mind just from seeing that senior once? Was their agreement a joke?
Lan Qian Qian suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek, then whispered into his ear, "That was before. But I don't love President Xuan anymore!"
Her intimate gesture spoke the cruelest words!
At least, Xuan Mohan felt as if his heart had been fiercely squeezed, making it difficult to even breathe. Yet, he still held the woman in his arms tightly, his knuckles turning white…
You… can only be my wife, Xuan Mohan, whether you love me or not.
…
"Meow~"
A weak meow echoed in the dim room…
"I heard you haven't been eating much these past few days. Have you changed your ways?" The man lounged on the sofa, exuding a rebellious air.
The black cat, however, was listlessly curled up on the soft sofa, unable to even meow.
"Why is a cat being so fussy? You can't even eat the high-quality food. This is just your fate."
What was the use of being in a good home if you were picky about everything you ate? You'd starve to death eventually. It was just an animal, more pampered than a human!
"Click~"
The door opened, and a bodyguard hurried in before kneeling on the ground, his expression filled with panic.
"Young Master… it seems one of our hideouts has been discovered. What should we do now?"
They had been discovered a couple of days ago. A few people were sacrificed, and now it was said that the Lu family's young master had led people to track them, apparently discovering a hiding place.
He didn't dare to investigate further, fearing he'd leave more traces!
"What to do…"
The bodyguard trembled at the young master's drawn-out tone, terrified that the man still lying down might appear before him the next second.
"Then abandon it."
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the young master had decided on a course of action, he wouldn't be punished.
"Yes." He didn't think anything was wrong. If one didn't do their job well, this was what should happen. If they didn't quell the young master's anger, then he would be the one to suffer.
"Tell them, if they're this stupid again, I'll deal with them first."
The bodyguard lowered his head so low it almost touched the ground, repeatedly agreeing and not daring to be the slightest bit slow. If he wasn't sharp at this critical juncture, his fate would be worse than theirs!
"Also… is it that difficult for me to ask you to find a little girl, hmm?"
The young master's heightened voice made the bodyguard's hair stand on end. He wouldn't dare say no, but it truly wasn't an easy task!
Due to their peculiar circumstances, the young master had started his investigation when they were still in hiding. But so many years had passed, and there was nothing left.
Every time they returned empty-handed, they had to endure the young master's endless rage.
Because of this, they all deeply resented that so-called woman!
