"Of course."
Shi Ran nodded heavily and stepped forward, placing her hand on his shoulder. Her slender, pale fingers gently squeezed his shoulder. "When my child is born, I'll need my uncle to take care of them too."
"Okay, okay. Ranran, having you is truly my blessing."
Yuan Wei raised his hand and grasped Shi Ran's hand. "Thank you, truly."
The cemetery was on the mountain. The wind blew, seeping into their necks with a chilling touch, but Yuan Wei's hands were unusually warm, making Shi Ran a little uncomfortable.
She struggled slightly with a hint of resistance and pulled her hand back.
Instantly, Yuan Wei's palm felt empty. A look of pain clouded his gaze as he watched Shi Ran, disappointment almost spilling from his eyes.
Shi Ran's heart skipped a beat and she immediately clasped Yuan Wei's hand again. "I said, we don't need to be so polite between us."
Her eyes flickered, fearful that Yuan Wei might detect her discomfort with his overly intimate actions, so she changed the subject. "We should head down the mountain. Don't catch a cold again."
"Yes, okay."
Yuan Wei felt a warmth spread through his heart at Shi Ran's concern. "Sorry, I forgot you haven't eaten yet."
The two of them descended the mountain together.
They grabbed a casual bite at a restaurant near Yuan Wei's hometown before returning home to rest.
After Shi Ran had rested, Yuan Wei took out his phone and 'released' Tang Si from his WeChat blacklist.
Opening Tang Si's WeChat, Yuan Wei sent a message: [Ranran is being taken care of very well, you don't need to worry or look for us.]
After sending the message, it took less than thirty seconds for Tang Si's WeChat call to come through.
Looking at the incoming voice call from Tang Si, Yuan Wei's face no longer showed the agony of heartbreak from earlier. Instead, it was replaced by the smug satisfaction of a successful scheme.
He walked to the door, locked it, and then answered the call.
"Didn't I explain everything clearly? There's no need for you to call again. Ranran is in my good care, Mr. Tang, please rest assured."
Yuan Wei provocatively challenged Tang Si with an arrogant tone.
On the other end of the line, Tang Si suppressed his anger. "Yuan Wei, you'd better not be courting death. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"What do you mean by that, Mr. Tang? I am Ranran's brother, it's only natural for me to take care of her." Yuan Wei smiled, a sharp glint crossing his eyes.
"Oh, right."
As if just remembering something, he added, "Ranran said today that I am her brother, and after her child is born, they will call me uncle and have me look after the children."
At that moment, Tang Si truly wished he could tear Yuan Wei apart.
"Then take good care of her." After speaking, Tang Si added, "Don't do anything you shouldn't, or I will make sure you have a very unpleasant end."
With that, Tang Si hung up the phone directly.
Yuan Wei raised an eyebrow at his phone, even whistling a cheerful tune.
Meanwhile, at Bo Ren Group.
After returning from Jiangnan, Tang Si learned about Qing Mu Ye's situation and had been trying to help him, becoming overwhelmed with worry.
With a dark expression, he dialed his assistant. "Find out Yuan Wei's hometown."
After hanging up the phone, he leaned back in his executive chair, rubbing the bridge of his nose, feeling utterly exhausted.
Recently, he had been dealing with Zhao Wu Yan and Huo Xiao Hua, helping Qing Mu Ye, and managing company affairs, to the point of being constantly on the go.
Tang Si cared deeply about Shi Ran's situation, but he dared not approach her rashly at this moment.
Although Zhao Wu Yan had stabilized her emotions, her brother Huo Xiao Hua was not someone to be trifled with, and he was secretly investigating Shi Ran. Therefore, Tang Si dared not act impulsively.
