The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 57 Aren't You Afraid of Embarrassing Your Father?
The wife of the Xiao family's young master was actually in Jiangcheng?
Who exactly was it? So low-profile!
Some girls were heartbroken; why was the Xiao family's young master married so early?
Chen Xiao remained calm, his eyes darting towards Song Anran.
He noticed that Song Anran's body was shaking even more violently!
Someone asked, "Young Master Xiao, who exactly is your wife? How come she's in Jiangcheng, and we don't even know about it?"
Xiao Li smiled slightly, not saying a word, but snapping his fingers.
Then, a red carpet, hundreds of meters long, was rolled out, forcibly creating a path through the crowd.
Xiao Li walked onto the red carpet, and two pure and beautiful young girls walked over, carrying flower baskets.
Xiao Li slowly stepped forward, and the two girls scattered blue petals in front of him.
With each step Xiao Li took, blue petals fell.
This was called "every step a lotus flower."
Coupled with Xiao Li's delicate and melancholic temperament, the scene was like a painting that had stepped out of an ancient drama.
At this moment, someone exclaimed loudly.
"Huh? These petals... are Blue Enchantress roses!"
"Are those the ones that cost ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine for a single flower?"
"Young Master Xiao isn't scattering petals; he's scattering money!"
Even the wealthy people present were shocked by this scene.
The two baskets of petals must have cost tens of millions!
Although tens of millions wasn't an astronomical figure to them, almost everyone present could afford it.
But if they were asked to take out so much money and scatter it on the street, no one would be able to do it.
As expected of the Xiao family's young master, extravagant and flamboyant!
Finally, the two girls stopped scattering petals.
And Xiao Li stopped in front of Song Anran.
Everyone had already realized that this sexy and fiery woman was Xiao Li's wife.
Some people knew Song Anran, and some didn't.
But even those who knew her only knew that she came from a prestigious family and now worked at Jiangcheng Hospital.
They had no idea that she was also Xiao Li's wife, Xiao Tian Ce's daughter-in-law!
Wei Ranqiu looked at this scene, his eyes filled with bitterness.
If his competitor was just Chen Xiao, it wouldn't be enough to make him give up.
But if he had to compete with a young master like Xiao Li for a woman, he wouldn't even have the courage.
Xiao Li looked at Song Anran, his eyes filled with endless affection.
"Anran, you've been outside for so long, come home with me."
His smile was as warm as a spring breeze, and his voice was as gentle as the summer sun.
However, Song Anran looked very frightened.
Her teeth were chattering uncontrollably, and after gathering all her courage, she said, "Xiao Li, please don't talk nonsense. I, Song Anran, am not your wife!"
The whole place fell silent.
Everyone felt like they were holding their breath, not daring to exhale.
They were all sweating for Song Anran. The Xiao family's young master had made such a big show, and she wasn't buying it. How could the Xiao family's young master stand for that?
But contrary to what they thought, Xiao Li wasn't angry at all.
He still had a smile on his face, coaxing her like a girlfriend:
"Honey, don't be like this. Do you know? Every day you're away from the imperial city, I miss you so much!"
"My longing for you has never stopped for a single day!"
Some girls were moved to tears.
"Wuwuwu, Young Master Xiao is so gentle, so doting on his wife, I'm in love!"
But Song Anran wasn't like them.
And they would never know how gentle Xiao Li seemed on the surface, and how perverted he was underneath.
"Xiao Li, I'll say it again, I'm not your wife!"
Song Anran gritted her teeth, each word squeezed out as if from between her teeth.
Xiao Li chuckled and slowly said:
"Our marriage was arranged by our parents, according to the matchmaker's words. The entire Song family has acknowledged me as their son-in-law. How could you not be my wife?"
Song Anran's voice trembled: "They, they were all forced by you!"
Xiao Li frowned slightly, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Whether I forced them or not, the result is the same. You must come back with me today!"
This look reminded Song Anran of the fear of being dominated by Xiao Li.
Once, Song Anran was just glanced at by a man on the street, and Xiao Li had someone dig out the man's eyes.
And Song Anran herself was locked in a dark, windowless room for three days and three nights.
Xiao Li called it love, so he wanted to possess her exclusively.
But from beginning to end, the two had never established a romantic relationship.
It was just Xiao Li unilaterally regarding Song Anran as his private property.
Forced by the power of the Xiao family, her family didn't dare to protect her.
In order to escape Xiao Li, Song Anran had no choice but to go far away, coming to Jiangcheng alone.
But she didn't expect that she still couldn't escape Xiao Li's clutches.
Song Anran said with utmost determination: "I would rather die than go back with you today."
Xiao Li snorted coldly, his mouth twitching.
He looked at Song Anran as if she were a toy.
"If you insist on dying, I will take your body away. But you should know that without my permission, you can't even die if you want to."
These words finally made everyone realize how domineering and terrifying Xiao Li was beneath that delicate exterior.
Anyone could see that Song Anran was trembling uncontrollably at this moment.
Her eyes were filled with helplessness and fear, making her pitiable.
Seeing this scene, Wei Ranqiu suddenly clenched his fists.
If he could be a hero and save the beauty at this time, he would definitely win Song Anran's heart.
But just as he was about to take a step, he was suddenly pulled back.
"What are you trying to do? Are you courting death?"
Jiang Zhenlin stared at Wei Ranqiu with wide eyes, his face full of anger.
Wei Ranqiu's life and death were not important to him; he was just worried that Xiao Li would be angered and implicate him.
Wei Ranqiu suddenly woke up, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
He had almost caused a disaster just now!
"Come with me. You know my patience is limited."
After saying this, Xiao Li coughed lightly twice.
And his cough sounded like it was hitting Song Anran's heart, making her tremble with fear.
Song Anran was on the verge of collapse.
She didn't want to die, but she was even more unwilling to go with Xiao Li.
In her mind's eye, she already saw the dark, windowless scene of being locked in a small dark room.
Xiao Li was a devil in human skin.
The cough was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Song Anran's inner world was infinitely close to collapsing.
But at this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
"Are you done yet? She already said she's not going with you, what are you still nagging about?"
"So unreasonable, aren't you afraid of embarrassing your father?"
