Liu Ran stared at her, picked up her cup of black coffee and took a sip. Because he hadn't blown the steam coming off it and it was freshly brewed, his tongue was immediately caught on fire.
However, instead of reacting to his senses where he would dance in a strange way after scalding his tongue, Liu Ran remained indifferent and even licked his lips as though nothing happened.
Ran Xueyi was worried that the heat scalded him so much that his brain was not working. "Are you alright?" she asked him.
Liu Ran: "You... You are married?"
Ran Xueyi nodded her head.
Suddenly, Liu Ran leaned forward and said in a hurry and whispered, "Xueyi... blink twice if you're being threatened. Thrice if your life is in danger."
"Liu Ran..." Ran Xueyi helplessly looked at him.
Liu Ran stopped her with a palm: "Don't say it. I know you are desperate to get out of your engagement with that Yang Scumbag, but why did you marry someone so suddenly? Who is it? Is he an old man with a perverted kink? Tell me so I can report him!"
Ran Xueyi wanted to laugh but didn't think that it was time for her to laugh. After all, Liu Ran was having a hard time absorbing all the events that took place in that coffee shop. Moreover, it was great that he somehow understood some things but assumed ahead of time.
"Song Yu Han, the third Young Master of the Song family."
Liu Ran experienced another bout of error. Initially, he thought that he wouldn't receive anymore shocking news from her, well aside from her sudden surprise marriage news, Liu Ran thought that nothing could be more shocking than that.
But no...
He was damn wrong.
"You... Be serious. Are you so muddle headed that you imagined your ugly and old husband to be someone else? And that someone is Song Yu Han?" Liu Ran didn't wait for her to respond and Ran Xueyi let him continue. "What happens if someone from the Song family hears you talking about this? They will surely report it to him and have you sacked in another country."
Ran Xueyi imagined being sacked and thrown to another country before scoffing. Would they dare? Even if they did dare to do it... Will she just stay mum and let them do it to her?
Liu Ran knew that he had spoken nonsense but the more he thought of it, the more probable it was!
Ran Xueyi watched him gasp for air after shooting his mouth off. She glanced at Liu Ran and said, "Well, you are right about something. I was desperate, but not stupid. I didn't aimlessly get married to someone just because of Yang Baihua. I am not that lovelorn."
Liu Ran felt uneasy seeing the mocking smile on her lips and wanted to comfort her. However, he also knew that Ran Xueyi didn't need comforting. She was someone who has been strong and independent since they were in their college.
Liu Ran stared at her in disbelief. " You mean..."
She nodded at him: "He asked me to be his girlfriend first. Then, suddenly said that we should just get married to each other since the civil bureau was nearby."
"So easy?" Liu Ran said in surprise. However, both of them knew that it wasn't that easy. There should be some things that weren't mentioned.
If it was so easy for him to marry, then why Ran Xueyi? There were countless women who wanted to hug his golden thigh and be Young Madam Song. However, no one succeeded even though they tried so hard.
Moreover, he was surrounded by rumors such as him being celibate as a monk or someone who swung the other way. The former was hard to believe, and the latter was the most possible answer to everyone's question.
Then, why did he propose it first and agreed to marry?
Ran Xueyi sighed in her heart and said, "I also don't know. I don't want to know either. Whatever his reasons for wanting to marry me doesn't matter. I just want to hug someone's big thigh and smoothly destroy the Ran and Yang family."
Liu Ran hesitated a bit and finally asked, "Are you sure about this?"
Estranging one's family and fiance was easy if one's heart was subdued by roaring waves of hatred. However, the feeling and emotion that one invested towards the people they once loved was hard to erase. This kind of situation was especially applied to Ran Xueyi.
However, Ran Xueyi was someone who had been treating the entertainment industry as her home. The wind and waves that swayed the industry was something she was used to witnessing and she was constantly involved in some of it. Even her characters in the movies and dramas were nothing like what she was experiencing right at that moment.
So, why would she sulk over spilled milk?
"Very sure."
---
After some time, Ran Xueyi left the coffee shop with Liu Ran. They went straight to the parking lot when they stopped to say their farewells.
"I'm gonna go now, Xueyi." Liu Ran opened his car door. "Make sure to call me if something happens. My apartment is empty and you can stay there if Song Yu Han does something to you."
"En, I'll be careful."
Ran Xueyi waved her hand at him and watched his car gradually being swallowed by the horizon. She then turned around and went straight to go to another place. She really had no time to rest.
By this time, Yang Baihua and her family will plan to block her way. Ran Xueyi can't let them go anymore.
After arriving at the Star Studios, Ran Xueyi went to the private elevator. She hadn't visited this place for five years now. Looking at the renovations that were done, she felt uncomfortable knowing that all the money they spent to make the building look so beautiful and formal all belonged to her and her hard work.
This time, she won't let them use her name anymore by ending her collaboration with Star Studios.
