Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

"Who's there!"

Lu Jing grabbed the open and looked outside the corridor. No one was there. It was as if the silhouette that she saw between the gaps of the door was just a glimpse of her imagination.

"Was there someone standing outside our room?" Ran Mo Zheng came from behind her and also looked around. However, like his wife, he saw an empty corridor.

"I definitely saw someone standing outside the door... But why is there no one?" Lu Jing wondered. Was it all truly her imaginations?

Ran Mo Zheng put his hands on her shoulder and reassuringly said, "You didn't sleep well last night because you're too excited for Yue'er's birthday. Maybe that's why you're seeing things."

"But I really did see something!" She glared at him.

Ran Mo Zheng sighed. "There's no way there's anyone here. No one can enter the door leading to our private rooms without permission. Besides, if there is, where could they have disappeared? All these rooms are locked and only our family can open them. Come on, don't worry too much. We still have to give our gift to our daughter."

Hearing his words, Lu Jing also thought that he was right. The servants guarding the door downstairs wouldn't just let anyone in and besides, there really was a special lock that only a few trusted servants and their family knew. How could a person suddenly disappear without a trace?

And what if what she saw was a ghost? Lu Jing shook her head and no longer thought of it. Ghost was better than a person. All the words they discussed inside their room was definitely not something anyone should hear.

The two finally headed downstairs to greet and chat with the guests.

Hearing the footfalls belonging to her parents gradually growing faint, Ran Xueyi couldn't even release a sigh. She wasn't even relieved that they left and didn't find her. Fortunately, the locks of the doors in their house weren't changed after she left so she could easily enter any one of these doors.

Slowly letting her whole body slip down to the floor, Ran Xueyi covered her mouth as she held down a gasp or scream.

Ran Xueyi expected that she was already prepared to hear everything, but isn't that too much? For her parents to plan her demise only because they couldn't accept the fact that she would receive all her grandparents' wealth and company, they would rather have her life ruined.

Could any children even accept everything that they heard from the people they once thought loved them and they loved back saying such hurtful words as if they weren't related at all.

Ran Xueyi held back the tears that were pooling her eyes. It hurts to know that your parents spun their web of lies only for you, their child, to fall and wait for them to eat you whole. It completely soured her mood, but the good thing was... Ran Xueyi already expected the worst and the dull pain she would have suffered from this blow decreased so much that she only felt numbed by their words.

Her parents wanted to destroy her and use every means they could do to take what was given to her by her grandparents... Then, so be it.

'The thing they wanted from me... I'll take it right in front of their eyes and burn it to ashes until nothing is left.' Ran Xueyi thought to herself.

...

"Where have you been, Xueyi jie?"

"I went to the restroom to wash my hands." Ran Xueyi replied as she stood beside their table. "Why? Did something happen?"

Her eyes landed on Chang Ya who looked as if she swallowed a whole lemon. It really seemed that something bad happened to them.

"It's nothing... Ya'er went looking for you but she saw Ran Yue instead." Chang Xin answered as he observed Ran Xueyi's expression.

Ran Xueyi raised her eyebrows. Chang Ya wasn't the type to be bullied, instead she was the type who would bully others until their faces bleed with anger. But right now, this fearless and valiant little sister was not acting herself.

"What happened? Did Ran Yue do something to her?" Ran Xueyi was worried that Ran Yue finally couldn't take it and strike her hands on Chang Ya.

Chang Ya took a moment as though she was considering whether she should say it. Two seconds later, she shook her, and softly said, "Nothing, Xueyi <anno data-annotation-id="589a67e8-e4e1-e695-c2b9-a487bbcd6b00">jie</anno>. I just don't feel good after eating too much." She pushed the small plate to her and said, "I only saw you drink... Here, I got this for you."

Ran Xueyi stared at Chang Ya for a few seconds. She knew that this child was hiding something from and from how bitter she looked right now, it must be something bad. However, since Chang Ya didn't want to say anything, Ran Xueyi also didn't force her.

Chang Xin knowingly stared at his twin sister. Chang Ya did not know how to lie and she wears her heart on her sleeve, allowing other people to see what she really feels.

Earlier, when Ran Xueyi left, Chang Ya said that she was worried that their older sister would meet some people who bully her. And so, he allowed her to leave her side. But who could have known that when she came back, she was grey and it looked as if she saw a ghost somewhere, hurrying to his side to hide.

The two of them never kept any secrets from each other and one look was enough for one of them to spill whatever secret they have to the other.

And that was exactly what happened. Chang Xin was worried about her sudden change of behavior and expression and it only took him to stare at her for several seconds and she finally gave up.

Chang Xin was expecting her to do something bad or fight with somebody again. But what she told him shook him to the core.

"Oh, Miss Ran Yue is here!"

They didn't know who screamed, but because of that voice, everyone who was chatting and smiling at their tables simultaneously turned their heads and saw Ran Yue entering the hall. Her black hair bounced as she took her step and a smile perfect for a toothpaste commercial was pasted on her lips as she greeted those who were standing close to her.

She looked like a little princess in a fairytale story, walking in front of a crowd who slowly backed away and made a path for her to walk on. A couple stopped by her side, kissed Ran Xueyi's cheeks.

"Auntie and Uncle really love Ran Yue." Chang Xin whispered as he glared at the trio. His eyes were cold and was looking at them as if they were a bunch of clowns performing in front of him.

He never saw them this happy on any other occasion. Even when it was his older cousin, Ran Xueyi's birthday, this old couple was not as happy as they are right now. Chang Xin slowly moved his gaze slightly and it perfectly landed on the birthday girl.

If looks could kill, Ran Yue would probably be dead twenty times now. Too bad, it didn't happen. Chang Xin was feeling disappointed that he couldn't wipe that smile on her face away.

On the other hand, Chang Ya was also feeling extraordinarily upset upon seeing them. Her face suddenly turned darker as she saw a man approaching the trio and happily greeted them.

"Xueyi jie... Are you still planning on marrying him?" Suddenly, Chang Ya turned her attention to Ran Xueyi and asked.

The question caught Ran Xueyi off guard as she wondered why this little girl was asking her this now. But upon thinking of it again, it must have some connection to why Chang Ya was averse and indisposed since she arrived.

Did Chang Ya see something earlier? Ran Xueyi wondered.

Because she was occupied in her thoughts, her delay and lack of response, agitated not only Chng Ya, but Chang Xin, who was silently watching her. They thought that she was hesitating to answer the question because her decision was still leaning towards marrying Yang Baihua.

This incensed Chang Ya and she grabbed Ran Xueyi's arm and pleadingly said, "Xueyi jie... my beloved sister... please don't marry that scu- that man... I don't approve of it and I will cry at your wedding! You said you don't want to see me cry, right? So, please don't marry him!"

Chang Xin also followed and seriously said, "There's a lot of men you can pick... What's so good with him? If you like this type, wait for me so I can search the country and find a better man for you!"

Chang Ya earnestly nodded and a sudden idea entered her mind. "That's right! There are still many bachelors in the country! There's the young master from the Lu family... No, that one is a Casanova The one from the Xie family is also no good."

Ran Xueyi: "..."

Ran Xueyi didn't think that their reaction was too exaggerated that they would even worry about her future and pick who will be her husband for as long as it was not Yang Baihua. She didn't know if she should laugh or cry.

Finally, Ran Xueyi couldn't take it any longer and wanted to stop them from speaking anymore. But what Chang Xin said after almost made her choke to death.

Chang Xin: "Ya'er, all these men you mentioned are no good. I don't approve of them. I will only approve if it's that man called Song Yu Han from the Song family became our sister's husband."
