Just then, Jiang Yiran opened her eyes and saw Huo Beixiao's gloomy face. A shy blush rose on her face.

She looked at Huo Beixiao sweetly, "Good morning, Brother Beixiao!"

Huo Beixiao lifted the quilt and glanced at his body, which was only covered by a piece of bitter tea, and his face grew even darker.

Looking at his expression, Jiang Yiran's eyes quickly welled up with tears. She bit her lip, her face full of forbearance and grievance.

"Brother Beixiao, I know you don't like me. Last night was just an accident because you were drunk."

Don't worry, I'll act as if nothing happened, and... I won't make you take responsibility.

After all, I... I'm not exactly a pure, innocent young woman anymore..."

As Jiang Yiran spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.

She was originally the kind of girl with a cute and innocent appearance. Although her figure and face changed during her pregnancy, and later when she was with Zhang Wei, she was so thin that she was skin and bones and didn't look good because she was doing that kind of business and couldn't even get enough to eat.

But later, she followed Qin Dadong, who treated her well.

After following Huo Beixiao, they became even more materially well-off.

After this period of rest, both her figure and face have recovered to a perfect state.

At this moment, with tears on her little face and a pair of innocent and aggrieved round almond eyes, she really looked quite pitiful.

Huo Beixiao ignored Jiang Yiran for the time being, and instead stretched out his arm to reach the clothes that had been thrown under the bed. After putting them on, he got out of bed.

What do you want?

After getting out of bed, he asked Jiang Yiran with his back to her.

A fleeting glint of greed crossed Jiang Yiran's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

The tears flowed even more fiercely.

She suddenly grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at Huo Beixiao's back. "Huo Beixiao, you can dislike me, you can look down on me, and you can despise me!"

But what right do you have to humiliate me like this?

Yes, it's true, it wasn't the first time, but last night, it wasn't that I wanted to sleep with you. You were the one who held me and wouldn't let me leave, and even..."

As she spoke, she sobbed uncontrollably.

She seemed unable to continue speaking, and only managed to squeeze out a few words through her teeth as she cried, "Huo Beixiao, I hate you!"

If you brought me back just to humiliate me, then what's the point of helping me? You might as well let me rot in Hong Kong, or hand me over to the police, let me go to jail, or let me be executed!

After crying and yelling, Jiang Yiran got out of bed and ran out of the room while still crying.

Huo Beixiao stared at the door she had slammed shut, his eyes darkening with even more gloom.

He rubbed his temples in frustration.

He only remembered that he invited Yan Heqing to drink at a KTV last night, and then he got drunk. He also remembered that Yan Heqing called Yang Qiaoqiao over.

After that, Yang Qiaoqiao left him alone on the street, and Jiang Yiran came and brought him back.

He didn't remember anything after he came back.

Why did he and Jiang Yiran end up together...?

He couldn't understand it, but his memory was fragmented once again.

Remembering what Yan Heqing had said last night that he should see a doctor, he thought about it and decided to go to the hospital first.

After Jiang Yiran ran out of the old house, she looked back and saw that Huo Beixiao was not chasing after her.

She gritted her teeth and took a taxi back to the hotel.

Although she only wanted to play hard to get, she had to make it look convincing in order to evoke Huo Beixiao's guilt.

Not long after Jiang Yiran returned to her hotel room, she received a call from the hotel reception saying that someone had come to visit her.

A fleeting look of triumph crossed her eyes.

She thought Huo Beixiao was different from ordinary men and wouldn't fall for her act, but she didn't expect him to come so quickly.

She quickly pinched her thigh again, and her eyes visibly reddened, with tears welling up in them.

When the knocking sounded, she took a deep breath, wiped away her tears in front of the mirror, but maintained an expression that made it obvious she had been crying, and went to open the door.

"If you hate me so much, why did you come to see me..." Jiang Yiran said angrily as she opened the door.

However, before she could finish speaking, her voice stopped abruptly when she saw Jiang Yongxian and He Nian standing outside the door.

Jiang Yiran instinctively wanted to close the door.

But Jiang Yongxian blocked the door, "Ranran, now that you're back, why didn't you tell your older brother?"

Jiang Yiran glared at Jiang Yongxian with resentment. "Jiang Yongxian, I have nothing to do with your family. Don't try to associate with me!"

When her kidnapping of Yang Qiaoqiao's two little brats was exposed, and she and Zhang Wei were chased like stray dogs, she did consider asking Jiang Yongxian and the Jiang family for help.

But how did they treat her?

Jiang Yongxian said she was a member of the Jiang family and had no relation to their Jiang family.

The Jiang family is even pressuring her to turn herself in, and they've threatened her that if her actions implicate the Jiang family, not only will the police not let her off the hook, but neither will her family.

If she hadn't been truly desperate, why would she have jumped into the sea and swam to the port city in hopes of a chance to survive?

Now that she's back and has Huo Beixiao as her backer, she can guess pretty much what Jiang Yongxian is up to when he comes to her.

He Nian walked out from behind Jiang Yongxian and said, "Ranran, your older brother and I both know that Huo Beixiao brought you back this time and even gave you a new identity."

"But you don't really think that Huo Beixiao can protect you just because we don't want you to live a peaceful life, do you?"
