Ye Ranran sneered, "It seems like you two are really in the thick of things, aren’t you? Can’t stand someone speaking ill of you, right? I will give you an opportunity. Explain to me everything that happened, and I may consider letting you both off the hook. How about it?"
Just as Qingli was about to say something, she was interrupted by Ah Chuan.
"She’s my friend who recently fell into some trouble. I just lent her a helping hand. That’s all there is to it," explained Ah Chuan as if he was reporting to work.
He was speaking so earnestly, it was almost as if he was prepared to issue a written guarantee.
At this moment, Qingli gripped Ah Chuan’s large hand, an incredulous look in her eyes. "What did you say? What did you say I am to you?"
"Exactly, what is she to you? I would love to know too!" A voice, striking like thunder, chimed in.
Surprised, Ye Ranran and Ah Chuan both looked up.
Ye Ranran had never imagined what Luo Qi’s reaction would be upon facing such a scene, and she dared not guess either.
Having been subjected to betrayal before, she knew all too well the heart-wrenching pain that comes with it.
Once was unforgettable enough, let alone twice...
Ye Ranran thought of her previous self when she discovered that Huo Yi and Xu Zi were romantically involved...
Luo Qi’s gaze swept lightly over Ye Ranran, finally coming to rest on Ah Chuan.
"Is this the reason why you’ve been distant these days?" Luo Qi asked with eerie calmness.
She was asking as casually as if inquiring what they should eat for the day, which was completely different from Ye Ranran’s imposing pressure.
"Xiao Qi..." Ye Ranran reached out to hold her.
She raised her hand to block Luo Qi’s view, not wanting her to see, to know certain things she should never know.
Because it was unbearable. Too unbearable...
"Ranran." Luo Qi held her hand but kept her gaze fixated on Ah Chuan with an unusually stubborn determination.
Things she didn’t want to see, but out of concern for Ranran, she couldn’t help but turn back halfway...
And as a result... the show was inevitable.
"No, it’s just that I’ve been tired recently," Ah Chuan replied, indeed, he was tired because of having to deal with Jun Mochan and Ye Ranran’s predicament.
Running back and forth between his company and the countryside, he naturally neglected her a bit.
"Because you’ve been busy with her matters, correct?" Luo Qi pressed further.
"No, I’ve said it before, she and I are just ordinary friends..."
"Even now, you’re still unwilling to reveal the truth?" Luo Qi looked at him disappointingly.
All she wanted was the truth, even if it meant death, she wanted to die knowing what was really going on. Was that too much to ask for?
"Never mind, if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. Since you’re just ordinary friends, then send her away and never let her appear before us again!"
Ah Chuan looked at Luo Qi incredulously, seemingly suprised at her words.
"Chuan!" Qingli clung tightly to Ah Chuan, looking quite terrified.
Luo Qi could not bear to see her , she took two steps forward, grabbed Qingli, and tried to pull her away from Ah Chuan.
When had Ah Chuan ever seen Luo Qi act this way, like a shrew?
Seeing Qingli wince from her grip, he wanted to rescue Qingli from Luo Qi.
But how could Luo Qi be willing to let go? She tightened her grip.
"Enough!" Ah Chuan, who had remained silent the whole time, coldly uttered, quickly reaching out and forcefully pushing Luo Qi away.
No matter how strong Luo Qi was, she was no match for a man.
Luo Qi stumbled backward from Ah Chuan’s push. Ye Ranran just happened to be standing behind her.
Just as she was about to unfortunately become the cushion, bodyguards stepped in and shielded Ye Ranran.

Luo Qi’s back crashed into the chest of a bodyguard, causing a faint pain.
