Chapter 622 Only You Will Be There

Tong Luo quickly said, "It was Jiang Fan who suddenly wanted to call Sister Chu Wen up to serve him. He originally wanted you to call her, but when he found you weren't there, he went to the seventeenth floor himself and found that not only was Sister Chu Wen not there, but Ruan Yixuan, Xie Tianyu, Qiu Se, and Ding Ding were also not there."

"With you added to the list, six people are now missing. Jiang Fan felt something was wrong, so he asked the people on other floors and found that they were all gone. He became suspicious and led his men down to look for them."

“I thought you would have told me before you left, so I didn’t go. I’m just waiting here to let you know.”

Liu Ruyan squeezed Tong Luo's hand and said, "Thank you, Xiao Luo. I haven't left yet, but I'm leaving tomorrow."

She looked at Tong Luo, frowned slightly, and still said, "And you'd better leave with us."

"Why?"

"Xiao Luo, this is just my guess. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but my intuition tells me that you'd better leave."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan didn't say anything more.

She asked Tong Luo to leave with her because, after her two encounters with the adults, she felt that they wouldn't let Jiang Fan go.

This guess wasn't based on Ling Ran revealing anything, but rather on her impression of Ling Ran's personality after getting to know her.

Even if Ling Ran didn't care, the people who supported Ling Ran had very distinct personalities, and Liu Ruyan felt that they would definitely not let Jiang Fan go.

That's why Liu Ruyan said that to Tong Luo.

The reason she didn't explicitly state her guess was twofold: firstly, it was just a guess, and secondly, she was afraid that if Ling Ran found out about her actions, he would dislike her and might even abandon her.

If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.

Liu Ruyan felt that she had already done more than enough for Tong Luo.

As for what choice she makes, that's her fate.

...

Back in her room, Liu Ruyan didn't go to sleep, nor did she dare pack her things, fearing that Jiang Fan might suddenly return.

But in fact, Liu Ruyan didn't wait long. Jiang Fan returned in just over an hour, along with Chu Wen and the other two who had escaped.

They were indeed caught by Jiang Fan, and quite quickly at that.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, she got help from an adult; otherwise, she would have ended up like Chu Wen and the other two.

The living room on the 18th floor.

Jiang Fan sat on the sofa, while the twelve women, including Liu Ruyan, stood.

However, of these twelve women, those who didn't run away stood beside Jiang Fan, while those who did run away stood opposite him.

Jiang Fan didn't look at Chu Wen and the others, but instead looked at Liu Ruyan standing next to him: "Ruyan, where did you go just now?"

"Ninth floor."

What are you going to the ninth floor for?

Jiang Fan stared at Liu Ruyan with sharp, cold eyes, devoid of any of his usual tenderness and affection.

Liu Ruyan was very disappointed. Even though she had regained her senses, she was not entirely without feelings for this man. After all, she had been with him for so long, and the feelings she had shared in the past were still vivid in her mind.

Sure enough, she knew men couldn't be relied on.

She hasn't even escaped yet, and he's already turning his back on her. If she does escape, he'll probably want to kill her.

"I went to Miss Ling's place to put in a good word for you." Liu Ruyan didn't show what she was thinking; her face was full of grievance. "I can tell that you've been so worried about Miss Ling lately that you haven't been able to eat or sleep, so I thought I'd go over..."

Jiang Fan choked.

He had indeed neglected many women during this period because of Ling Ran's matter, and it was normal for Liu Ruyan, who is very observant, to have noticed it.

And that's the kind of thing she would do.

He immediately looked at Qiu Se and Ding Ding: "Qiu Se, Ding Ding, where did you go just now?"

"We bumped into Sister Ruyan when she went downstairs, and we secretly followed her. We thought she was going to do something to betray her brother, but we didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding."

That makes sense too.

Jiang Fan paused for a moment, then let them go. He then looked at Chu Wen, Yi Xuan, and Tian Yu and asked, "Chu Wen, Yi Xuan, and Tian Yu, tell me, why did you run away today?"

They were carrying large and small bags, clearly not going out to enjoy the snow or anything like that.

"There's nothing more to say now," Chu Wen said, and said no more.

Neither Ruan Yixuan nor Xie Tianyu spoke.

Clearly, Chu Wen is the leader among the three of them.

Seeing that the three showed no remorse, Jiang Fan immediately lost his temper and roared, "Why did you run away? I just want a reason. You can't possibly not even have a reason, can you?"

"I've been so good to you, when have I ever wronged you? Besides, I've never imprisoned you, so where have I wronged you?"

Ruan Yixuan thought for a moment and said, "We're actually a little jealous because we've seen how much you care about Ling Ran lately. Besides, you promised us you wouldn't take any more women, but you're still taking them now. I don't know how many women you'll have in the future. Rather than waiting to be abandoned, you might as well leave on your own."

pretty!

Upon hearing Ruan Yixuan's excuses, Liu Ruyan immediately gave her a thumbs up.

Little did she know that Ruan Yixuan's excuse was something she had only thought of after hearing her words.

Jiang Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this reason.

He was naturally suspicious, and Ruan Yixuan's reason was very credible, but he still had some doubts.

"Then why don't you ask me?"

"What's the point of asking?" Ruan Yixuan cried out in grievance, "It's your decision. How can the people here influence you?"

Chu Wen and Xie Tianyu also had tears in their eyes.

Especially Chu Wen, who has always been a proud young lady in Jiang Fan's eyes and has never been willing to lower her noble head, now her eyes are red, she must be extremely aggrieved.

Jiang Fan felt a pang of heartache seeing the beautiful woman shed tears.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong about that, but I have to tell you, I did have some feelings for Ling Ran before, but because of you, I never thought of letting her join us. In my life, you will be the only ones I have, understand?"

Ruan Yixuan sobbed, "Really?"

"Of course, it seems you guys are just too idle, so you're thinking about all sorts of things. From now on, let's not use protection and have a baby."

This was the best solution Jiang Fan could think of.

He still had his doubts, but the fact that the woman had a child undoubtedly tied her down.

That way he can rest assured.

Ruan Yixuan and the others didn't dare to say anything more, secretly hating Jiang Fan.

Sure enough, Jiang Fan was no different from the men they used to hate. He never tried to improve himself; instead, he thought about using children to ensnare women.

It's utterly shameless and disgusting.

"Wenwen, Yixuan, and Tiantian, the three of you come to my room in a little while. Everyone else, go about your business. One last thing, don't worry about Lingran. I won't let her join us. You can rest assured."

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

At the same time, I'm even more glad that I escaped.

But Tong Luo, standing beside her, thought differently. Instead, she said with a hint of happiness, "Sister Ruyan, if Jiang Fan, my brother, and I have a child in the future, then I'll consider it... for the sake of the child..."

Liu Ruyan could tell that Tong Luo wanted to use her son to gain status, and shook her head helplessly.

I've watched too many palace dramas.

It's hopeless.
