After leaving the party, Ran Xueyi stood at the front entrance and flashed a smile at the butler who she met earlier that day. Just in time, her phone chimed and when she looked down at it, she saw a message from Song Yu Han. He told her that he was on his way and waited for him for a few seconds.
Ran Xueyi raised an eyebrow, surprised that he had forgotten about his business meeting and turned the car around to pick her up. She was filled with warmth by his gentle and caring gesture and sent him a reply.
Not long after she sent this, the same car that she got off from just earlier stopped in front of the front entrance. Ran Xueyi had expected Song Yu Han to wait for her to get inside the car, but who could have thought that he'd instead get out of the car and walk towards her.
"Why did you come out?" ran Xueyi was shocked at his action.
Song Yu Han ignored her question and walked in front of her And carefully eyed her. He didn't answer her until he was done checking her well-being and making sure that she wasn't hurt in any way.
He had full trust and confidence in what she had planned to do at the party and he would support her every action without question. However, he still couldn't help but feel worried that something might happen to her after she was done.
Earlier, if not because he had a deep trust on her plans and on Ran Xueyi, he wouldn't let her go alone to the party no matter what she said. But seeing Ran Xueyi looking so focused and determined to do what she had to do, Song Yu Han had to let her go.
In truth, Song Yu Han had Special Assistant Guo stop the car right at the front of the Ran Family's gate and never left nor went to his business meeting. He had waited on her until she was done.
Thankfully, Special Assistant Guo mentioned that the party was on Livestream and he could watch the whole event live without any fillers.
"I watched the livestream video..." Song Yu Han began as he was finally relieved that nothing happened to her. "I saw you being pulled inside a room. I was worried that they might have done something to you and had my assistant immediately turn the car back."
No wonder he looked distressed when he stepped down the car just now. Song Yu Han always had this regal and kingly vibe in him that would always make people want to bow their heads before him. But at this very moment, the man that was so gorgeous he resembled the devil himself, no longer has that aura around him.
It wasn't that Song Yu Han didn't look kingly or regal anymore, the vibe he was giving her was one filled with unconcealed concern for her and something more sinister.
What Ran Xueyi did not know was that there was only a thin thread making up the restraints that Song Yu Han had put onto himself. If she wasn't alright, who know what he'll do to everyone who attended this party especially, to the Ran and Yang family.
Thinking that he might do something really bad without any regard to anything else because of her, Ran Xueyi put her hand on his arm and said while smiling, "I'm alright. Don't you know me already? I won't let anyone hurt me anymore so, you don't have to worry."
Song Yu Han stared at her for a long moment. When he saw that she wasn't lying, he finally pulled her into his arms for a hug.
"I know... I'm just making sure that my dear wife is alright."
Ran Xueyi was even more shocked at this moment. They already agreed to not reveal their relationship to anyone for now. At least, not until she was able to recover her past glamor and status that would be acceptable to the eyes of the public. Not that Ran Xueyi was embarrassed or unwilling to reveal her marriage with Song Yu Han to the world. It's just that she didn't want her husband to be looked down on by other people who already disdained him for what happened in his past.
Sensing that there were still people standing outside and staring at them, Ran Xueyi pulled away from his embrace and quickly took his hand and pulled him inside the backseat of the car and closed the door before anyone could recognize him.
At the same time as Ran Xueyi closed the door, more people came out of the entrance to see where the main lead of the show had gone. Unfortunately, the moment their feet stepped out of the door, they could only see a multi-million dollar car parked in front of them, they could only sigh in disappointment. They missed the goddess that descended from the heavens to bring down the hammer of justice. They all thought that Ran Xueyi had run off somewhere before anyone else could get there.
At this moment, no one associated Ran Xueyi with the expensive car in front of them. They already assumed that Ran Xueyi didn't have any involvement with that car and it must belong to someone influential and powerful.
"I don't believe she disappeared so quickly! Those people didn't deserve her love at all!"
"I never thought that something like that actually happened to her! She's so pitiful."
Most of the people were genuinely showing their concern for Ran Xueyi after seeing her cry in front of everyone.
But it was also inevitable for some people to harbor negative feelings towards someone who got the crowd's sympathy and affection.
"Why did she have to leave? I don't believe a thing she says. There must be a reason why she was cheated on by her fiance."
"That's right. She must have done something bad. The young master from the Yang Family is such a noble person. Why would he do something like that?"
Who knew that Chang Ya would come out at the time and heard what was said about her big sister. She sent a deadly glare at the person who mindlessly said this.
She scoffed and disdainfully smirked. "Hmph! What noble person? That young master you like so much is full of crap that I can even smell him from miles away!"
"Ah! This place smells like sewer! I can no longer stay here. Brother, let's go home!" Chang Ya dragged her older brother from there and also got inside their car.
Those who wanted to get connected with the twin's parents could only watch them go away and glare at the people who stupidly ran their mouths off and made their only tie to the artistic couple away.
Inside the hall, the people who were too shocked and still couldn't completely comprehend what had just happened looked at each other before awkwardly looking away. The Yang family members were also extremely humiliated at what happened and slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes, fearing that their guilt would show on their faces.
"What's happening? I thought Yang Baihua was careful when he's together with Song Qian? Shouldn't they find out that someone had a recording of them together?" Mother Yang asked, lowering her voice, scared that someone could hear her.
Father Yang also didn't know why this happened. Yang Baihua and Song Qian have been very careful when they're together. Aside from the people who already knew about their relationship, they never let anyone know about it, much less let a paparazzi take a picture or video of them together. Then, where did Ran Xueyi get the audio file she released today?
But no matter where she obtained it, there was no way of denying that one of the voices belonged to their son.
"We need to talk to Ran Mo Zheng. We need to discuss what to do about this." Father Yang told Mother Yang as they headed to meet the other party involved in this issue. Now that the cat is out of the bag, they will need to think of what to do next.
The plan to force Ran Xueyi to marry their son was also an impossible dream now. However, the Yang family cannot back down now. If they can't take the older sister... Isn't there still a younger sister?
Ran Xueyi didn't know that the Yang family was slowly changing their minds and taking an alternative plan. Ran Yue, who was also now being targeted by them, didn't know that she was slowly being pulled into a bigger mess after what happened to them.
On the way home, Ran Xueyi leaned her head against Song Yu Han's shoulder while he put his hand around her waist, half hugging her in the backseat. Their hands were interlocked as they enjoyed each other's company in silence.
