Liu Anran entered the office and saw Qin Ruixu and Chu Yunxiao looking surprised. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you two surprised to see me?"
Chu Yunxiao suddenly stood up, looking at Liu Anran with surprise, "Anran, why are you back?"
"Can't I come back?" Liu Anran asked expressionlessly.
When Chu Yunxiao saw the displeasure on Liu Anran's face, his heart skipped a beat, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face. Oh no! She had just overheard him complaining about Liu Anran.
"No, I just didn't expect you to come back," Chu Yunxiao hurriedly explained.
Liu Anran recalled Chu Yunxiao's evaluation of her, and said with a slightly dark expression, "Oh! I thought you didn't want me to come back, afraid that I would hinder your good fortune in love and disturb your deep communication with your confidante."
"I don't have any female confidantes, so please don't get the wrong idea," Chu Yunxiao hurriedly said.
Liu Anran looked at Chu Yunxiao with a cold face. "Chu Yunxiao, from beginning to end, I have never forced you to do anything. If you think I am not a good wife or a good daughter-in-law, you can find another woman who suits your taste. You don't have to make do with me. I have lived very well without you for the past two years, and my four children have also lived very well."
Qin Ruixu glanced at Zeng Yufan standing at the office door, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in his deep eyes, which disappeared in an instant before returning to normal.
"An Ran, let me explain. I was just venting to my uncle, I didn't mean anything by it." Chu Yunxiao looked at Liu An Ran nervously and tried his best to explain.
Liu Anran stared at Chu Yunxiao, feeling a pang of sadness. She hadn't realized how bad she was in Chu Yunxiao's eyes.
"You must think I'm ungrateful and you're holding a grudge!" Liu Anran said, looking at Qin Ruixuanxu. "Bai Lu is leading a horde of zombies to besiege the Beijing base. She should be here soon. Make the arrangements quickly."
Upon hearing Liu Anran's words, Qin Ruixu's expression turned serious. He looked at Zeng Yufan, who was standing at the office door, and succinctly instructed, "Notify Wang Ping and the others to come to the conference room as soon as possible to prepare for the meeting."
Zeng Yufan also heard Liu Anran's words. A zombie siege was a major event. His face was filled with horror. As soon as he received Qin Ruixu's order, he did not dare to delay and immediately left in a hurry.
Chu Yunxiao's face was filled with regret; he should have killed Bai Lu instead.
Qin Ruixu looked at Liu Anran and said, "Anran, sit down and tell me what happened."
Liu Anran recounted the strange events that occurred in the mountains and how, after leaving, she happened to encounter Bai Lu gathering a horde of zombies, preparing to massacre the capital.
"Bai Lu has quite the ambition; she actually wants to become the zombie queen and unify the world," Qin Rui said sarcastically.
“Uncle, we should contact other bases and tell them about Bai Lu’s situation so they can take precautions,” Che Chuyunxiao suggested.
Qin Ruixu said, "We should inform the other bases, but the most urgent task right now is to resolve our crisis first."
Liu Anran told Qin Ruixu the news, and left the rest to Qin Ruixu and the others.
"Uncle, please arrange a quiet place for me to stay. I have four children with me and don't want to be disturbed."
Qin Ruixu and Chu Yunxiao looked at Liu Anran at the same time, their faces showing confusion and surprise.
Chu Yunxiao looked at Liu Anran, frowned, and asked, "Anran, aren't you going back to the Chu family?"
“The Chu family’s threshold is too high. I’m an orphan and can’t cross it. I also don’t want my child to be scolded. I’d better not enter the Chu family’s door. If Grandma Chu and Aunt Qin want to see their grandson, I welcome them anytime,” Liu Anran said, lowering her eyes.
Qin Ruixu was surprised when he heard Liu Anran address Grandma Chu and Qin Yuhan. It seemed that Anran was no longer planning to live with Chu Yunxiao!
Chu Yunxiao's expression immediately changed, and his gaze was fixed on Liu Anran. "Anran, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Liu Anran looked calmly at Chu Yunxiao and said bluntly, "I don't want to enter your Chu family, I don't want to be a Chu family woman, and I don't want to be your daughter-in-law. I can live a good life raising four children on my own. What would I need a man I can't see all year round?"
"Are you blaming me?" Chu Yunxiao asked.
Liu Anran said frankly, "I don't resent it."
"Time has made me gradually forget you, from being reluctant to part to being indifferent. You probably don't have much affection for me and the child anymore, otherwise you wouldn't not have visited us for half a year."
"I have something to do and can't get away," Chu Yunxiao said.
Liu Anran gave a bitter smile and sighed, "Being unable to get away is just an excuse you're making for yourself."
Qin Ruixu looked at Chu Yunxiao. Chu Yunxiao's arrogance had caused his relationship with Liu Anran to become so strained. He had never considered whether Liu Anran was willing to wait for him in the same place.
Just as Chu Yunxiao was about to say something, he saw Zeng Yufan standing at the gate, so he could only swallow his words.
Zeng Yufan sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Boss, everyone's here." Then he hurried away.
Qin Ruixu stood up and looked at Chu Yunxiao, "Yunxiao, we can talk about this later. Let's go to the meeting now."
Chu Yunxiao nodded. Liu Anran was still angry. It wouldn't be too late to talk to her after she calmed down.
"Anran, until we find a suitable place to stay, you can stay at my place for now," Qin Ruixu said to Liu Anran.
“Besides the doorman, I don’t like anyone else in the house,” Liu Anran said.
"Does that include me?" Qin Ruixu asked.
“There can be no one else but you,” Liu Anran replied.
Qin Ruixu is the host, how could I, a guest, possibly send him away, especially since he is someone Qin Ruixu trusts?
"Our meeting might take a long time. Do you want to wait for me, or go back first?" Qin Ruixu asked.
Liu Anran rubbed her sore leg and frowned, saying, "I want to rest for a bit. Let's go back together!"
