Bei Ran stared at him, "Thank you for coming to play along with my act. It’s okay, I’ll go in and explain things to him!"
When she entered, Tang Baijin couldn’t help but speak sarcastically, "Haven’t seen you in six years, and now your taste has changed!"
"Of course, occasionally indulging in some fresh young meat is indeed very delicious!" Bei Ran replied to him nonchalantly.
At this moment, Tang Baijin threw a photo onto the table. It was a picture of Bei Ran affectionately draping her arm around Gu Qingchen’s neck, seeing him out the door, her smile blooming in the night.
"Bei Ran, how could you degrade yourself ?" Tang Baijin slammed the table, "You have a fresh young meat for a husband, and a doctor for a lover. Gu Qingchen has what I have; do you want money? I have plenty of money. Why did you follow her? Why did you leave me without saying a word?"
Bei Ran took a slight sniff, her face a bit pale, as she locked eyes with him in his fierce anger.
She hadn’t expected this strict, by-the-book architect to have taken up detective work.
"Bei Ran—" Tang Baijin walked around the table and came up beside her, towering over her as he looked down at her, "Come back to me!"
"Impossible!" Bei Ran refused outright.
"Because of the young hunk?" Tang Baijin grabbed her wrist, "Or because of Gu Qingchen?"
"Neither!" Bei Ran met his gaze, "Because of myself! Young Master Tang, please let go!"
"Let go?" Tang Baijin instead leaned down and kissed her lips...
Bei Ran’s mind went blank, and she raised her hand delivering a slap across Tang Baijin’s face!
She turned around and strode out!
Even Zong Zheng, who had been chasing after her, couldn’t make her stop!
She ran out of the company and while walking on the road, she faintly remembered her past with Tang Baijin.
The extent of the hurt he had caused her back then was reflected in the ferocity of the slap she had just delivered.
She could go on to forget that harm, but she wouldn’t allow him to continue hurting her!
Because of love, she was etched into her very bones.
Because of the lack of love, she was as untroubled as a light cloud or a gentle breeze.
Bei Ran roamed outside until dark, only then remembering she hadn’t taken her handbag from the office; her mobile phone and keys were all inside, but by that point, the company had already closed for the day.
When she arrived at Lakefront Villa, she saw the house lights were on.
Oh no! Today was the day Gu Qingchen was returning from his business trip, and she had completely forgotten!
She rang the doorbell, and Gu Qingchen opened the door to see her.
"Husband, you’re back!"
"I’ve missed you so much..."
Gu Qingchen was such a perceptive man; he simply hooked her small chin with one finger, his sharp eyes intensely focusing on the woman in his arms!
When he noticed her lips were slightly cracked, his hawk-like gaze fell onto her red lips, "Did he touch you here?"
Bei Ran knew she couldn’t hide anything from this man, his gaze was too piercing, slicing through her skin like a surgical knife, inch by inch, leaving her trembling with an unsettling chill.
