As soon as Xing Chen finished speaking, Ping’an silently placed the agreement and a pen in front of Ran Xiangsi.
Facing the suddenly appeared agreement, Ran Xiangsi felt a strong sense of rejection in her heart.
She had fantasized about her marriage, but she never thought she would be forced into it...
"Why me?" she asked, lifting her eyes to look at Xing Chen.
Her clear eyes were full of confusion.
A man like Xing Chen could easily have thousands of women flinging themselves at him with just a crook of his finger, couldn’t he?
Not to mention, he had a childhood sweetheart who was the school beauty...
From what Ping’an had just said about her, and based on what she had observed, Xing Chen had clearly put some effort into her, even if it was just to investigate her background.
She was as ordinary as could be, so why was she chosen?
"Besides you, who else could so naturally play the role of my wife? Besides... the Lou Family already knows of your existence." The deciding factor, after all, was still unclear to Xing Chen.
Things kept happening day by day, everything came so fast, yet everything seemed so natural.
It was as if everything was meant to develop in this direction from the beginning.
Initially, it was just a joke.
Lou Zhaonian had done Xing Chen a favor, and Xing Chen couldn’t refuse him, so he found an excuse to brush him off.
Who knew Lou Zhaonian would act so quickly and go inquire in the Southern Federation?
Now the entire Wilson family knew that Xing Chen was married. If he didn’t bring a woman back to them, wouldn’t that be a slap in his own face?
He was riding a tiger and couldn’t get off, so he had to go along with the plan.
Perhaps, from the moment Xing Chen first jokingly called her his wife in front of Li Guoliang as a way to deal with the unruly little girl who didn’t know her place, the wheels of fate had quietly begun to turn.
After listening to Xing Chen, Ran Xiangsi fell into deep thought again.
She had somewhat understood why Xing Chen chose her.
And she herself wasn’t any better off...
Betrayed by her own father, and then there was the patient Gu Beichuan.
If she had to marry, of course, she would choose Xing Chen.
However, wouldn’t that make her marriage seem too pitiful?
Before she could say the words of refusal, Ran Xiangsi was suddenly startled by an alarm on her phone.
She hurriedly took out her phone and saw it was an alert from the Princess!
Ran Xiangsi had installed a surveillance system at home; whenever the door was opened, the Princess would automatically recognize the height, weight, voice, and breathing frequency of the person inside. If it didn’t match Ran Xiangsi’s, the surveillance video would be sent immediately to her phone!
This was why Ran Xiangsi had previously instructed the Princess to keep a good watch over the house.
At that moment, the screen on her phone was displaying a live feed of the situation at home. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
In the high-definition video, a group of people forcibly broke into her home, led by none other than Ran Zhonghai.
Seeing this, Ran Xiangsi’s face turned pale.
It seemed that Xing Chen was right. If the Ran Family allied with the Gu Family, they really would stop at nothing to deal with her...
Even though she was a top-notch hacker, without a computer, she was as weak as a lamb... If Ran Zhonghai really took her away, she couldn’t predict what would happen.
It felt as if her destiny was being strangled by an iron grip.
While Ran Xiangsi was fully focused on the surveillance video, Ping’an also received a message. He stepped to Xing Chen’s side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Immediately, Xing Chen’s face turned grim!
