Bei Ran was startled: "Duan Feixun, Gu Qingchen went out with you to search for the murderer, why didn’t you come back together? Where is he?"
Seeing Bei Ran’s pale and shocked face, Duan Feixun reminisced how this woman had always been obedient. Although she was beautiful enough to cause the downfall of cities and countries, of course, he also believed that Gu Qingchen was definitely worthy of such a woman!
He watched as her disguise gradually crumbled in his concern for Gu Qingchen, no longer graceful.
Actually, this is what love is like.
The so-called grace and probing, in the end, cannot withstand the detailed and subtle day-to-day interactions in life.
Duan Feixun said solemnly: "He got held up with something, he’ll be back later! Don’t worry, he’s my brother, would I let him face danger alone?"
After he finished speaking, he directed his gaze towards Zheng Tong.
Zheng Tong knew that he heard what she said.
She wasn’t a little girl; she understood the significance of children.
She didn’t dislike children, she just didn’t want a broken family to have another troubled youth.
She was rational, so it had to be painful.
Zheng Tong didn’t invite him over for tea, and Duan Feixun’s gaze remained on her.
The big fish and small fish had gone to play with toys; only adults were left in the living room.
Seeing that Gu Qingchen was just going to be late, Bei Ran finally relaxed, and then observed that another storm seemed to brew for the sake of the children.
"Feixun, sit down and have some tea!" Bei Ran said softly. "Also, I would like to know, who is the murderer, how is the situation?"
"Let Old Gu tell you!" Duan Feixun clearly did not want to discuss this, he sat down, took a sip of tea, and even though he still felt like there was a fire in his chest nowhere to vent, he took another big gulp.
Tian Xin also joined them, and Yang Junyi naturally followed by her side.
"Duan Feixun, tell me, who is the murderer?" Tian Xin looked at him, urgently needing an answer.
Duan Feixun still drank his tea without speaking.
Tian Xin poked Zheng Tong: "Sister Tong, please speak up! Look, your brother-in-law is ignoring us now..."
The term "brother-in-law" made Zheng Tong feel shy, she pushed Tian Xin, and then looked at Duan Feixun: "Just say something!"
At this moment, Duan Feixun stared at her: "Then come and sit next to me..."
Tian Xin quickly made room, and she and Yang Junyi moved aside, giving Duan Feixun the large sofa: "Sister Tong’s foot is injured, come sit over here!"
Duan Feixun knew her foot was injured, and so he sat next to Zheng Tong, "How’s it today? Does it still hurt?"
"Don’t ask me..." Zheng Tong glared at him, "They are all waiting for the answer..."
Seeing Duan Feixun did not seem to want to talk, Bei Ran picked up the topic, "The murderer is Qian Zhi Ling, right?"
Although this sentence was a question, it carried a tone of certainty typical of Bei Ran.
Duan Feixun was surprised, but seeing Bei Ran sitting calmly opposite them, he also figured she wasn’t just talking casually.
Tian Xin exclaimed: "Is it her? She actually had someone kidnap me? Just for dealing with Ranran? And set both of us up in a trap..."
Bei Ran analyzed: "She’s just targeting me because Baijin’s heart isn’t with her, thinking that by getting rid of me, she would have a chance with Baijin. And Xinxin just ended up an innocent victim, that also explains why Tang Baijin appeared at the scene, it was Tang Yanran who informed him, right! Tang Yanran isn’t completely evil, of course, her informing Baijin has two purposes, one is to rekindle an old flame between Baijin and me, the other is that she still hopes to be with Qingchen, if I died, Qingchen definitely wouldn’t let her go."
"Indeed it is so!" Duan Feixun nodded his head, "Bei Ran, you’re so capable, can you guess what Qingchen is doing now?"
"Is there an emergency at the hospital calling him back?" Bei Ran frowned.
But Duan Feixun playfully said, "He ran into an old love on the way back..."
At the mention of "old love," Bei Ran’s face changed.
Although she knew that a man like him couldn’t possibly be without past lovers, and she was a rational woman who wouldn’t be foolish enough to obsess over his past lovers,
still, it sounded somewhat harsh to her ears now.
Zheng Tong also noticed the change in Bei Ran’s expression, she couldn’t help but reach out to hit Duan Feixun: "Is Gu Qingchen that kind of person? Stop talking nonsense!"
"Wife, am I not just seeing her too calm and too clever..." Duan Feixun quickly took advantage of the moment to grab Zheng Tong’s hand, "I just wanted to test whether Bei Ran is always clever! Indeed, love is an intriguing thing..."
