The bidding prices were leaked, and although Jun Mochan stepped in to explain, it once again put Ye Ranran into the spotlight.
Despite this, Ye Ranran seemed unfazed, happily going to work and happily coming back, just like usual.
That day, after Ye Ranran finished work, she took a car home as usual.
Since she had bodyguards with her, she didn’t need a driver and let the bodyguards drive instead.
Sitting in the car, she sent a WeChat message to Jun Mochan and was about to browse some fashion web pages.
Suddenly, the car lurched, and due to inertia, Ye Ranran was thrown forward.
If she had not been wearing a seatbelt, she would have certainly hit the chair in front.
"Madam, there’s a car blocking our way ahead." The bodyguard who was driving promptly informed her just as she was about to ask what happened.
"Go check it out. Who is it?" Ye Ranran frowned.
The bodyguard got out of the car, and the one on the passenger side stayed put to protect Ye Ranran.
Unexpectedly, the bodyguard had only taken two steps when four or five men rushed out from the car in front. Two of them stopped the bodyguard, while the other two stopped the one on the passenger side.
Another one opened the back door of her car.
"What are you doing?" Frightened, Ye Ranran managed to maintain her composure.
The bodyguard held the door open without doing anything. From the other car, a man stepped out slowly. He was handsome, his features distinctive, and moved unhurriedly towards Ye Ranran.
"Gao Han, what are you up to now?" Ye Ranran asked in annoyance.
He was like a lingering spectre, utterly detestable.
"I missed you, wanted to see you, wanted to touch you," Gao Han said, looking at her affectionately.
Ye Ranran was thankful she hadn’t eaten, otherwise she would have thrown it all up.
"Sorry, but I don’t want to see you. Whenever I see you, I lose my appetite," Ye Ranran retorted scornfully.
Gao Han’s forced smile immediately vanished. "Do you really detest me that much?"
Ye Ranran nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I do."
Having said it all, he should leave, right? But to her surprise, Gao Han stunned her once again.
"That’s okay, I’ll work hard to make you fall for and love me again," he brazenly said.
Ye Ranran thought, ’...Is this really Gao Han? How could I have fallen for such a weirdo in the past?’
Just when Ye Ranran wanted to leave without paying him any attention, Gao Han suddenly grabbed her hand. "Come with me."
The unpleasant memory of their last meeting immediately flashed in Ye Ranran’s mind. "What are you doing? Let me go."
"There’s no need to be afraid, I just have something to tell you, I won’t do anything to you," Gao Han tried to soothe Ye Ranran.
Ye Ranran lashed out, kicking him. "Like hell I’d believe you. Let me go."
Gao Han promptly lifted her off the ground. "Whether you like it or not, you have to come with me today."
"What are you doing? Put me down! Help, help!" Ye Ranran screamed.
"Madam, madam," the two bodyguards tried to come forward to save her, but they were outnumbered and couldn’t get close to Ye Ranran.
They could only watch helplessly as Ye Ranran was carried away by Gao Han.
Gao Han stuffed Ye Ranran into his car and ordered the driver to start moving.
"Gao Han, what the hell are you trying to do?" Ye Ranran glared at him.
"I just want you to witness something—I don’t want to do anything to you. Why are you so resistant?" Gao Han said quietly.
She used to cling to him all day and night. Now, no matter how many years passed, she had grown to loathe him.
