"Alright, alright! Dad was just kidding!" Wang Sicong looked at Wang Siyuan with a doting expression and said, half-jokingly, "I know you still love Chu Ran, so I brought Chu Ran back with me!"
"Dad!" Wang Siyuan stomped her foot in annoyance. For some time now, she had been nagging Wang Sicong to bring Li Churan home, but Li Churan had refused with various excuses.
"Chu Ran, I've already told my family to prepare the meal! Let's go in together!" Wang Siyuan's eyes were full of naked, undisguised affection.
Li Churan felt goosebumps rising all over her body.
Wang Siyuan's blatant gaze made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Hmm!" Li Churan nodded expressionlessly.
Wang Siyuan pulled Li Churan's hand and dragged him out of the car.
Li Churan instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but she held back.
Under Wang Siyuan's gaze, Li Churan had no way to resist and could only let Wang Siyuan hold his hand.
The three of them arrived at the restaurant, where the Wang family's servants had already prepared a candlelight dinner. The dishes on the table were very plentiful and gleamed enticingly in the candlelight.
Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste; on the roads, the bones of those frozen to death lie.
While a simple plate of braised pork might be a luxury for ordinary people in H country, it remains an extravagant lifestyle for the wealthy.
Wang Siyuan pulled Li Churan's hand and led her to sit down at the table. Wang Sicong sat directly opposite them.
"Chu Ran, we'll be family sooner or later, no need to be so polite!" Wang Sicong greeted her warmly, while Wang Siyuan sat next to Li Chu Ran, serving her food.
"Chu Ran, eat more! Have an oyster! Oysters are good for your health!" Wang Siyuan said meaningfully.
Li Churan silently picked up an oyster and put it in her mouth, as if she couldn't understand Wang Siyuan's hint.
"Chu Ran! How is your mother's health lately?" Wang Sicong asked.
"She's been doing quite well lately! She just often complains that I'm too busy!" Li Churan replied politely and respectfully, her expression and tone of voice were impeccable.
"Chu Ran, don't worry, I'll take care of your aunt!" Wang Siyuan quickly replied, while her hands under the table were constantly fidgeting.
"Dad, you really are something! Why do you have to assign Chu Ran so much work? Why don't you give Chu Ran a less demanding job instead?" Wang Siyuan couldn't help but complain.
If she could, Li Churan really wanted to slap Wang Siyuan to death.
He agreed to get engaged to Wang Siyuan because the Wang family could help him in his career. Did Wang Siyuan really think he was a toy of the Wang family? He didn't work every day and just devoted himself to playing with Wang Siyuan.
Li Churan coldly pried Wang Siyuan's hand away, "It's okay, I can handle all these tasks!"
Wang Siyuan noticed Li Churan's displeasure and quickly stopped the conversation.
"Chu Ran, I didn't mean anything by it, I just felt sorry for you being so busy!" Wang Siyuan quickly explained.
Wang Sicong is a talkative person, and with Li Churan's high emotional intelligence, the atmosphere became very harmonious after this little episode.
They finished their meal quickly, and afterwards, Wang Siyuan instructed her servants to bring tea.
"Chu Ran, have some tea to help with your digestion! It's Pu'er!" Wang Siyuan handed the tea to Li Chu Ran.
Li Churan warmed the teacup, took a careful sip, and found the taste slightly bitter. He frowned and then put the teacup aside.
Seeing Li Churan drink the tea, Wang Siyuan felt a surge of smugness.
No matter what method she uses, she must get Li Churan today.
To be on the safe side, Wang Siyuan continued to urge him.
"Chu Ran, don't you like the taste? This tea was brewed for you by myself!"
Li Churan frowned, but since this was in front of Wang Sicong, he had to give Wang Siyuan face, so he lifted the teacup again and took two sips.
Unlike Wang Siyuan, who was ignorant and incompetent, Wang Sicong was knowledgeable and humorous. Li Churan chatted with him about astronomy and geography, and they had a pleasant time together.
"I want to go home and see my mother, so I'll be going now!" Seeing that it was almost time, Li Churan quickly stood up.
But the moment she stood up, Li Churan suddenly felt dizzy, and a strange heat spread through her body.
Is there something poisoned in the tea?
Li Churan was always cautious, but he really didn't expect Wang Siyuan to drug him in front of her father.
Li Churan made a mistake here, namely that she could not use common sense to speculate about this willful and capricious young lady.
"Chu Ran, it's already so late! Why don't you just rest here?" Wang Siyuan quickly stepped forward and grabbed Li Chu Ran's hand.
Opportunity knocks but once.
If we don't seize this opportunity to take him down now, when will we?
"No! I'd better go back first!" Li Churan felt as if his whole body was on fire. His consciousness began to blur, but he still used the last bit of his sanity to struggle to walk out.
Wang Siyuan gave a signal with her eyes, and the servants of the Wang family, who were already prepared, helped Li Churan into the room.
Li Churan lay in Wang Siyuan's boudoir with a flushed face. He felt parched, as if a volcano was about to erupt inside him, and his consciousness began to become increasingly confused.
"Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart!" Li Churan tried her best to keep her mind clear.
