Chapter 113 You're Not My Husband?! (24) More than 300 years later...

Fu Li hadn't seen Luo Ran for many days since the wedding.

No, or rather, the two haven't seen each other since he left alone a year ago.

Now that we've met again, so much has happened in between. Looking back, it feels like everything has changed.

Fu Li pushed open the balcony door, and there was a spacious open-air terrace outside the master bedroom, about four or five meters away from the nearest window.

A gentle breeze brushed against my temples, bringing a cool, damp feeling.

Beta stared blankly at the person not far away, a hint of doubt still lingering in her expression. Until the person opened their mouth, a gentle voice softly calling out:

"Ah Li, it's me. I'm late."

That familiar, gentle, and tender tone, along with the joy in his eyes, perfectly matched the Luo Ran I remembered.

Fu Li opened her mouth, but choked up and tears streamed down her face.

After a long while, he finally managed to open his throat and say in a choked, barely audible voice, "Why are you only arriving now..."

Seeing his aggrieved and choked-up appearance, Luo Ran felt overwhelmed with guilt.

He had sworn never to let Ali be hurt in his life, but his own avoidance dragged him into these troubles, leaving him in pain and sorrow.

But now is not the time to talk about these things. Luo Ran lowered his voice and said urgently, "Ah Li, I'm here to take you away! I've already made arrangements for an exit outside. Let's leave quickly while Luo Ze is away!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Li forced herself to calm down, took a breath, and asked, "Where to?"

Luo Ran said, "Abroad. Don't worry, I'm not unprepared. This is also my parents' wish. He Neng is also willing to help. I escaped from Luo Ze's surveillance thanks to them. Now, as long as we leave the Luo family, we'll be safe! Come with me!"

As they spoke, Luo Ran had already opened the window, leaving almost half of his body hanging outside, his clothes fluttering in the air as if he might fall at any moment. However, his eyes remained fixed on Fu Li, his expression anxious and eager, as if afraid that Fu Li would not want to go with him.

The young man took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his expression became resolute.

"I'll go with you!"

A surprised smile appeared on Luo Ran's face. He immediately opened the window completely and extended a retractable ladder, one end of which was placed under the window frame, and the other end slowly unfolded, eventually spanning the distance between the two windows and extending to Fu Li's feet.

“There are surveillance cameras in the corridor, and there are also people that Luo Ze arranged to monitor us. So we had no choice but to make things difficult for Ali by coming here.”

“But as long as I get there, we can escape from here together, right?” Fu Li’s eyes hardened.

He took off his fluffy slippers and stepped barefoot onto the terrace, which was about ten meters above the ground. A gentle breeze was blowing in the air, and there were no safety measures below.

Fu Li has always been afraid of heights, but in front of Luo Ran, he finally overcame his fear and forced himself not to look down.

Luo Ran held the ladder with both hands, constantly encouraging Fu Li.

“Ah Li is very brave, we’re almost there. Yes, don’t look down, we’ll be out soon…”

Two minutes later, Fu Li finally crossed the "sky bridge" built in mid-air and arrived at Luo Ran's side.

When the young man stepped onto his knees from the suspended ladder, Luo Ran hugged his lover tightly.

More than 300 days later, he finally embraced the person he had been longing for again, holding her tightly in front of him as if she were a lost treasure, and carried her steadily through the window.

"You've lost weight." Fu Li stepped back onto the safe ground from the high ladder, and in a daze, she seemed to hear the man's murmured words, filled with heartache.

In fact, Luo Ze took very good care of Fu Li. Apart from initially resisting him, he later gave him almost everything he wanted, ensuring he had the best of everything.

However, in Luo Ran's opinion, Fu Li must have suffered a lot in the Luo family, and he was depressed and thin.

But there was no time to accuse Luo Ze of being inhumane; they had limited time and had to leave the Luo family immediately.

Luo Ran was dressed as a driver, a smart black uniform with a wide-brimmed hat, looking quite professional. The room they were in was a storage room; only places like this were free of surveillance cameras.

"Ah Li, quickly change your clothes. All the servants in the house are Luo Ze's spies. I'll take you to the underground garage later. Mother has already arranged a car there to take us out of the city."

As Luo Ran helped Fu Li put on the prepared maid's clothes, she quickly explained the plan.

"The plane tickets are already bought. Although there's no one to meet us on the way, we have to take the gamble. Once we get to Country E, Luo Ze will be too far away to reach us, and there's no way he'll be able to find us."

"Do you believe me, Ali?" The Alpha's burning eyes reflected the young man's calm demeanor, as if a fire was burning within them.

Fu Li nodded firmly and said resolutely, "Yes, I believe you."

"let's go!"

Hearing his words, Luo Ran finally relaxed. He gazed deeply at Fu Li, a look of guilt welling up in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Li, it's all my fault that you've made your situation so difficult... My original intention in leaving was to prevent you from getting involved in the Luo family's affairs. I only found out after returning to the country that my older brother had tricked you into marrying him. But luckily, we made it in time..."

Fu Li put on her mask and gently shook her head: "Let's talk about this outside."

Luo Ran let out a soft breath: "Okay, let's talk about it outside."

At the far end of the corridor, the door to the storage room slowly opened. A head peeked out, looked around, and then led another figure out, rushing towards the emergency stairwell at breakneck speed.

The atmosphere in the emergency passage was heavy and suffocating. After walking for a short while, they reached the ground floor. Luo Ran took out his key and opened the door to the garage. As soon as the heavy door was pushed open, he was met with a dignified and resolute face.

A tall, athletic figure, dressed in a sharp black outfit, stood with a silent, handsome face, bearing a familiar air of coldness. His gaze swept indifferently toward the person behind Luo Ran.

Fu Li raised her head and met Lin Xi's gaze. A hint of panic finally flashed in her eyes.

He knew that the other person was Luo Ze's personal bodyguard and was the one who obeyed Luo Ze's orders the most.

Luo Ran recognized him and knew Lin Xi's skills, so she didn't act rashly but immediately stood in front of Fu Li.

His sword-like eyebrows were sharp and fierce, and his pheromones spread out in the small space, subconsciously trying to intimidate the other party.

But Lin Xi, being an Alpha who had undergone rigorous training since childhood, remained unmoved by the intimidation emanating from Luo Ran, standing like a city wall blocking the entrance.

Two sharp gazes met in mid-air. After a brief standoff, Lin Xi heard the inquiries from the rest of his security team:

"Captain, what happened in the garage?"

Lin Xi paused for half a second, then said in his usual deep and solemn voice:

"No."

Both of them were taken aback.

Then they saw the black-clad bodyguards who had just been blocking the doorway step aside and stride away in another direction as if they hadn't seen them.

Seeing this, Luo Ran didn't have time to say anything. He quickly led Fu Li towards the prepared car, only whispering "thank you" as he passed him.

Luo's mother arranged a black minivan for them. This type of vehicle is often used by staff and will not attract attention.

Luo Ze got into the driver's seat and told Fu Li to hide in the back seat.

As the driver passed through the gate, the security guard asked him a routine question. The driver lowered his hat brim and answered calmly, giving nothing away.

The van smoothly drove out of the Luo family's territory and onto the main road. Fu Li finally sat up, no longer needing to lie down. Looking through the window at the magnificent building on the mountain, she could hardly believe they had succeeded.

Luo Ran drove at top speed toward the airport.

Seeing that Fu Li still looked worried and dazed, he comforted her in a clear voice:

"We'll be at the airport in just half an hour. Ali, we're out now. As long as Luo Ze hasn't found us yet, we'll be able to leave Country C smoothly."

Looking at the trees and street signs passing by outside the window, Fu Li suddenly asked, "When you left before, did you also go abroad?"

Luo Ran's voice faltered for a moment, then he paused, his voice slightly low: "Yes."

"At that time, my mother and eldest brother sent people to arrest me, trying to forcibly take me back to the Luo family. I had no choice but to..."

He sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I hid my background from you. If Ali wants to blame me for what happened before, I have nothing to say. Of course, my brother deliberately deceived and kidnapped you, he's the one who's even more of a bastard."

"Once we leave Country C, I will tell you everything, no matter what Ali wants to ask. I will not hide anything from you like before."

His tone carried a hint of guilt and a touch of ingratiation.

It's impossible to say he's entirely without fault for things turning out this way. Even so, Luo Ran still doesn't want to give up.

Even if Fu Li blames or resents him for this, as long as he is still willing to stay with him, he is willing to give up anything.

After listening, Fu Li only sighed softly and said, "You should have told me this sooner, and you shouldn't have left without saying a word."

The remorse in Luo Ran's heart burned even more fiercely. Although Fu Li's tone did not contain any resentment, this faint reproach was even more chilling.

His voice trembled: "Ah Li..."

"I'm so sorry..."

A silence fell over the car. Not wanting to dampen Fu Li's spirits, Luo Ran quickly shifted the conversation to the scenery of foreign countries. She said that while the mountains and forests of Country E were rugged and steep, the scenery was beautiful, and the surrounding countries and their unique cultures were particularly appealing; Fu Li would surely love it.

He deliberately avoided mentioning Fu Li's experiences in the Luo family over the past six months.

Fu Li was deceived by Luo Ze, and everything happened between them. Luo Ran didn't mind that, but he didn't want Fu Li to relive the time she was imprisoned by deception and lies. It's best to look forward.

As he spoke, the young man's expression gradually relaxed. He seemed to be looking forward to leaving this place in the future.

However, at the intersection not far ahead, a black sedan was parked quietly by the roadside like a ghost. In the center of the back seat was a tall, handsome man with a cold and icy expression, listening quietly to the voice coming from the walkie-talkie.

"Mr. Luo, they'll be here in half a minute."

Luo Ze's lips curled into a cold, shallow smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; his gaze was as cold and icy as if frozen.

He said coldly, "Hit it."
