Chapter 5: Wildcat
Tu Ran smiled faintly, "Everyone has always been very kind to me, otherwise they wouldn't have given me such a good opportunity to marry Mr. Xie. I'm very grateful in my heart."
Tu Ran's answer was perfect, but it also embarrassed the Lin family.
Because they all knew that the reason Tu Ran was allowed to marry Xie Nancheng was because Lin Siyao didn't want to at all.
When Miss Lin heard that Xie Nancheng had lost his sight in a car accident, she acted desperately and even went to seduce Peng Yuan, the son of a real estate tycoon, for a one-night stand and then had someone film them and announced it. Her speed was as fast as riding a rocket.
Because Miss Lin disliked it, it was finally Tu Ran's turn.
But they couldn't openly break up with each other, and they couldn't tell whether Tu Ran's words were true or false, and what he meant.
Xie Nancheng smiled and said, "I do have to thank you. It was because of Ranran coming to our house that my eyes were healed."
"Nancheng..." Lin Siyao became more and more angry the more she thought about it. Such a good opportunity was missed.
If she had known that Xie Nancheng's eyesight was so quick, she would never have married that scumbag Peng Yuan.
"Lin Siyao, it's inappropriate for you to call me that." Xie Nancheng glanced at her face coldly.
"Come, eat, everyone."
In order to conceal his daughter's little thoughts, Lin's father quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Ranran, why don't you stay with Mr. Xie tonight? We have prepared a room for you at home." Mother Lin's enthusiasm naturally had her own little thoughts.
"Mother Lin, no..." Tu Ran was about to refuse.
"Okay, no problem, then stay for one night." Xie Nancheng agreed readily.
Tu Ran glanced at the man in disbelief, but he couldn't see any expression on his face.
To be honest, after finally leaving this home, she really wanted to stay in the Xie family.
But Xie Nancheng had already made up his mind and there was no way to change it.
After dinner, Mrs. Lin asked the nanny to clean up a guest room and specially changed the bed sheets and quilt covers before letting them go back to their room. After Xie Nancheng went in, he took a quick look around.
"Isn't this your room?"
"no."
"I guess so. They won't give you such a nice room."
"I'm used to it. It doesn't matter where I live." Tu Ran was calm.
Xie Nancheng sat on the big bed, staring at Tu Ran's delicate face. "You were so sharp-tongued when you were arguing with me, and you don't seem like someone who would willingly suffer injustice. So, is there a side of Miss Tu that I don't know about? Or a side that is unknown to others?"
"Xie Nancheng, stop being so sarcastic. Just be direct with what you want to say."
"Haha, you're as well behaved as a little rabbit in front of the Lin family, but you become a little wild cat in front of me. But I like little wild cats more."
The words were so ambiguous that Tu Ran blushed again.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Do you want to use the bathroom? I need to take a shower."
Xie Nancheng didn't say anything, but made a gesture of invitation.
Tu Ran turned and went into the bathroom and began to remove her makeup. She was really not used to dressing up like this.
Sitting in front of the cloakroom connected to the bathroom, Tu Ran took off her earrings while thinking.
After four years at the Lin family, the whereabouts of the pearl were still not found.
I wonder if Xie Nancheng will help her?
At least I cured his eyes this time, so I can be considered a lifesaver, right?
But this man is extremely suspicious. Compared to Lin Chen, Xie Nancheng is obviously more difficult to deal with.
How should I start talking so that he won't get suspicious and won't reject me?
After Tu Ran finished taking a shower, she was embarrassed to remember that there were no clothes of hers here.
I could only wear my bathrobe and carefully go back to my old room to look for old clothes.
But unexpectedly, he was blocked by Lin Chen at the door.
"What are you doing?" A familiar voice sounded behind him.
"I'm...looking for a piece of my clothing." He pointed to the room he used to live in.
Lin Chen didn't say anything and looked Tu Ran up and down.
Wearing a bathrobe and removing her makeup, she seems even more stunning.
It’s strange to say, Tu Ran has been in the Lin family for four years, right under his nose.
But today, he discovered that she was so beautiful?
She is even better than the girls he has dated in recent years.
Especially now, Tu Ran in front of me, wearing a white bathrobe, with long wet hair that hasn’t dried yet.
And that pretty face without any makeup makes you unable to look away.
In an instant, Lin Chen came to a conclusion.
So, during these four years, Tu Ran has been deliberately making a fool of himself, avoiding him, and even being on guard against him?
Thinking of this, he took two tentative steps forward.
Sure enough, Tu Ran immediately stepped back cautiously.
"Ranran, are you afraid of me?" Lin Chen's voice was charming.
Her voice also became very magnetic, which was completely different from the attitude Lin Chen had used when talking to her before.
To be exact, Lin Chen has never called her Ranran in these four years.
"No, you're overthinking it."
"Then why are you hiding?"
"I think it's not appropriate for men and women to be intimate with each other. Besides, I'm already Xie Nancheng's wife. It's better for Mr. Lin to have some sense of boundaries."
"Of course, the person you are engaged to is me." He leaned forward and lowered his voice deliberately.
"So what?" Tu Ran almost sneered.
"I have always been against you marrying Xie Nancheng. Our Lin family can cancel the engagement. But you also know my parents. They dare not offend the Xie family. So you understand my difficulties, right?"
"I totally understand." Tu Ran smiled as he watched the man's hypocritical acting.
"I was reluctant to let you get married in the first place, and now that I see you, it really hurts even more... Of course... You were supposed to be my fiancée, and I really want to protect you."
"Mr. Lin, please stop saying these things. It's extremely inappropriate. What were you doing three days ago?"
Hearing Tu Ran's retorting attitude, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sure enough, this woman's timid and cautious appearance in their house for the past four years was all fake.
"Do you think that if Xie Nancheng marries you, you'll have someone to rely on?"
"But you're a woman with no education, no background, and no family background. Do you think Xie Nancheng will care about you? Or will the Xie family care about you? You don't think that if you marry him you'll be able to fly up to the branches and become a phoenix, do you?"
"It's funny. What does it have to do with you whether my husband cares about me or not? If Mr. Lin has delusions, he can go see a doctor." Tu Ran simply retorted, "Performing here really doesn't make any sense. I don't like watching dramas."
"Huh?" Lin Chen was scolded, but he became even more excited.
"Let me put it this way, if I want to do anything to you now, Xie Nancheng won't care, because you are worthless in his eyes."
As he spoke, Lin Chen reached out to grab Tu Ran's shoulder.
Tu Ran was debating whether to fight back when suddenly a cold voice came from behind them.
"Really? Who said I wouldn't care?"
The next second, Lin Chen was grabbed by a pair of big hands, turned around and punched, hitting his handsome face hard.
Tu Ran was shocked. It was Xie Nancheng?
When did he stand behind her, and how long had he been listening to the conversation between her and Lin Chen?
