《My Lowkey Husband Pampers Me》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Yiran looked out of the window in a daze. At this time, she should be in class. Xie Yiran was about to graduate from graduate school, but a large number of unsightly photos suddenly appeared. The main character in the photos was her, Xie Yiran! For a moment, everyone in the school looked at Xie Yiran with a hint of mockery and disdain. Rumors started to spread, and the school leader could not sit still anymore. He found Xie Yiran and told her to prepare to quit school. Xie Yiran was unwilling because she was framed. However, would the leader listen? How could the people in the school listen? Xie Yiran¡¯s heart was filled with despair. She sat by the bed in a daze and packed her things. Buzz, buzz, buzz¡­. Her phone vibrated. Xie Yiran picked up her phone and glanced at it. Her face instantly turned extremely pale. Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes were filled with news. Xie Honghou, the boss of the Xie Corporation, had died on the construction site due to corruption. Hence, he was sent to prison. The witnesses and evidence were all there. The court sentenced him to death! How could this be?! Xie Yiran knew very well what kind of person her father was. He was an honest person. How could he do something corrupt? He had even caused the death of someone. This was simply impossible! Xie Yiran could not accept it. She wanted to call her big brother and ask him about it! However, before Xie Yiran could make the call, she heard the sound of footsteps. When she raised her head, she saw Xie Xianyue, the adopted daughter of the Xie family. Xie Yiran had always treated her as her biological younger sister. Xie Yiran quickly went forward and held Xie Xianyue¡¯s hand. She said anxiously, ¡°Xianyue, you¡¯re here. Quickly follow me back to see father. Father is¡­¡± However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xie Xianyue. At this moment, Xie Xianyue no longer looked innocent. She fiercely shook off Xie Yiran¡¯s hand and then looked at Xie Yiran with ridicule. Xie Xianyue¡¯s change made Xie Yiran unable to react for a moment. ¡°Xianyue¡­¡± ¡°Look at you now. You don¡¯t have the bearing of the eldest daughter of the Xie family anymore! You¡¯re really pitiful,¡± Xie Xianyue sneered and said mockingly to Xie Yiran. Looking at Xie Xianyue, Xie Yiran¡¯s face was full of disbelief, and her voice gradually became hoarse. ¡°You, what¡¯s wrong with you¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me?¡± The mockery in Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes became even more intense. She said with a smile, ¡°I came here just to tell you something. I believe that you¡¯ve seen the news.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°What do you mean? Aren¡¯t you curious how your father got such a reputation for corruption and was even sentenced to death?¡± Xie Xianyue sneered and she continued, ¡°Oh, also, your brother met with a car accident on the way to find a lawyer and died on the spot.¡± Plop! Hearing that, Xie Yiran¡¯s legs went weak and she instantly collapsed on the ground. ¡°I always thought that you were very smart, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so stupid. Brother Guanyu should be coming to tell you about breaking off the engagement with you soon.¡± Xie Xianyue stretched out her hand and admired her newly made nails. She sneered and said, ¡°A girl like you is actually dreaming of marrying my brother, Guanyu. It¡¯s really ridiculous!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± No matter how stupid Xie Yiran was, she understood what had happened. She had treated Xie Xianyue so sincerely, but she did not expect that everything Xie Xianyue did before was an act! Xie Xianyue even liked Luo Guanyu?! ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you. Do you still think that Brother Guanyu has you in his heart? How is that possible? Brother Guanyu just used you to pave the way for himself.¡± Xie Xianyue smiled innocently and said, ¡°Brother Guanyu was also involved in your father¡¯s current situation. Oh right, I was the one who released those photos of you, but I think Brother Guanyu knew about it too.¡± Buzz¡­ Xie Yiran felt like her brain was about to explode. She could not accept the fact that the two people she treated so sincerely had actually schemed against her and her family! ¡°Now that you have such a reputation, if you are smart, you should go down and reunite with your father and your brother. After all, if I were you, I wouldn¡¯t be able to live on!¡± As Xie Xianyue spoke, she threw a fruit knife out of her pocket and threw it in front of Xie Yiran. Then, she went to leave. However, before she left, Xie Xianyue left a message. ¡°Before you die, I think you should think about why your mother had a difficult labor.¡± Xie Yiran sat on the spot alone, her eyes red. She even wanted to take the knife and stab Xie Xianyue to death, but she had no strength. Xie Yiran clenched her nails into her flesh. She did not understand why Xie Xianyue and Luo Guanyu would treat her like this! Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Her father and brother had both died because of this. Xie Yiran was still unwilling to accept this. Could it be that all the things that Luo Guanyu had done to her before were all fake?! Could it be that Luo Guanyu only wanted to use her as a stepping stone?! Xie Yiran felt her eyes turn black. She even found it difficult to breathe. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up. Looking at the knife that Xie Xianyue threw down in front of her, Xie Yiran¡¯s heart was filled with hatred. She hated the betrayal of Xie Xianyue and Luo Guanyu. She hated how Xie Xianyue had treated her. She hated how Luo Guanyu had set her father up and even made her brother pay with his life! However, she hated herself even more! Why did she not discover the true colors of Luo Guanyu and Xie Xianyue? Why did she not realize that Luo Guanyu and Xie Xianyue had already hooked up?! Creak¡­. The door was opened by someone. Looking at the man in front of her, Xie Yiran¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile. ¡°Is young master Luo here to ask me to break off the engagement?¡± Luo Guanyu looked at the disheveled Xie Yiran in front of him. His brows were tightly knitted, and a hint of unknown meaning surfaced in his eyes. To be honest, Luo Guanyu did not expect Xie Yiran to be in such a disheveled state. Seeing Xie Yiran like this, Luo Guanyu¡¯s heart softened a little. However, he did not regret what he had done before. ¡°Luo Guanyu, have you forgotten the promise you made in front of me?¡± Xie Yiran took a deep breath and looked at Luo Guanyu who was slowly walking toward her and said softly. ¡°You told me that you would always be with me and stand behind me no matter what. You will marry me and you will love me forever. You said that you wouldn¡¯t hurt me!¡± When Luo Guanyu walked to Xie Yiran, Xie Yiran suddenly picked up the knife Xie Xiayue left on the ground and stabbed Luo Guanyu. Luo Guanyu¡¯s face changed slightly. He turned to the side, but his arm was still cut by the knife, and his clothes were instantly dyed red with blood. Luo Guanyu frowned and knocked the knife out of Xie Yiran¡¯s hand. Then he said in a low voice, ¡°Xie Yiran, are you done messing around?¡± ¡°Messing around?¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes were red and looked like she was about to cry blood. Luo Guanyu was shocked. ¡°How could I not know what kind of person my father is? If he really wanted to be corrupt, he would have done it years ago. Why would he wait until now? ¡°My brother got into a car accident because of this and is dead. Do you know that?¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s red eyes made Luo Guanyu a little scared. ¡°If it has nothing to do with you, then tell me that!¡± Looking at Xie Yiran, Luo Guanyu was a little speechless. He was the one who caused this situation, but he could not say such cruel words in front of Xie Yiran. ¡°Hehe!¡± Seeing Luo Guanyu¡¯s expressionless face, Xie Yiran took a deep breath. Since she knew Luo Guanyu, how could she not know what Luo Guanyu¡¯s expression meant! However, Xie Yiran could not believe that all these things were really done by Luo Guanyu. For a moment, Xie Yiran felt dizzy and almost sat on the ground. Xie Yiran stared at Luo Guanyu and said, ¡°Everything you told me before was a lie, right?¡± Luo Guanyu remained silent. He looked into Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes with a hint of heartache that he did not realize. Xie Yiran felt sorrow in her heart. She did not expect that the two people she had treated wholeheartedly would cause her and her family to end up like this! ¡°Luo Guanyu, if there is a next life, I will definitely not have anything to do with you anymore!¡± Luo Guanyu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He looked at Xie Yiran and said in a deep voice, ¡°What do you mean? What do you want to do?¡± Xie Yiran ignored Luo Guanyu and resolutely rushed to the open window. Before Luo Guanyu could react, she suddenly jumped down. With the sound of glass breaking, Xie Yiran jumped down in front of Luo Guanyu. Luo Guanyu watched everything in a daze. By the time he reacted, it was already too late. Xie Yiran felt the wind whistling by her ears. She regretted it. If she had a chance to start over, Xie Yiran would not have trusted Luo Guanyu and Xie Xianyue so easily¡­ Xie Yiran wanted Luo Guanyu and Xie Xianyue to pay the price. Those who hurt them would pay the price! Bang! Xie Yiran fell heavily to the ground. However, the pain that she imagined did not come. Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes had completely fallen into darkness. ¡°Ran Ran?¡± Xie Yiran heard a familiar voice. She subconsciously opened her eyes. After falling into darkness, she suddenly saw such a dazzling light, which made Xie Yiran feel a little uncomfortable. Beside her, Xie Yiran¡¯s mother was looking at her and anxiously said, ¡°You little girl, it¡¯s already so late in the day and you¡¯re still sleeping? Qingqing wants you to go out and play. Why aren¡¯t you waking up?¡± ¡°Mom?¡± Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Xie Yiran saw the person in front of her, a trace of shock appeared in her eyes. Did her mother not die from dystocia back then? ¡°Am I in heaven?¡± Otherwise, how could she see her own mother? ¡°What nonsense are you saying? Child, hurry up and get up!¡± Huo Yueshan pulled Xie Yiran out of bed and continued, ¡°Qingqing has been waiting for you outside for a long time. Hurry up and get out.¡± Xie Yiran was stunned. She turned around to look at her surroundings and realized that she was in her own bedroom. Most importantly, the Huo Yueshan in front of her was a living person! ¡°Mom!¡± Xie Yiran jumped out of bed and grabbed Huo Yueshan¡¯s arm. When she felt the warm touch on her hand, Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes welled up. Am I really back? ¡°You little girl, you scared me. What happened?¡± Huo Yueshan turned around and looked at Xie Yiran, feeling a little confused. ¡°I¡¯m at home. This isn¡¯t a dream, right?¡± As Xie Yiran spoke, she even rushed to the bedside. When she saw the time on the calendar, Xie Yiran pinched the flesh between her thighs. It hurts! This is not a dream! Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Yiran and felt a little strange. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, girl? Qingqing, didn¡¯t you guys agree to go to the horse farm?¡± Horse farm? Xie Yiran was stunned. Then, she remembered that in her previous life, she seemed to have met Luo Guanyu at this horse farm. If she was reborn this time, Xie Yiran wanted to avoid Luo Guanyu and stay far away. Therefore, Xie Yiran also looked at Huo Yueshan and said, ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± ¡°You, child, you¡¯re really baffling. Qingqing has been waiting for you for so long. If you say you¡¯re not going, then go out and tell Qingqing.¡± After saying that, Huo Yueshan left, leaving Xie Yiran alone in the room. After confirming that she was indeed alive, Xie Yiran also understood that she was probably reborn now. Perhaps the heavens heard Xie Yiran¡¯s voice before she died, so they showed mercy and let Xie Yiran come back to life again. If this happened again, Xie Yiran would definitely not let the tragedy repeat itself! Looking at everything around her, Xie Yiran felt both familiar and unfamiliar. When she came to the hall, she saw a graceful woman sitting on the sofa. This person was Xie Yiran¡¯s good friend, Ye Qingqing. Ye Qingqing was the child of Xie Yiran¡¯s maid, but because they grew up together, their relationship was very good. In her previous life, Ye Qingqing almost gave up her life because of Xie Yiran. Therefore, when Xie Yiran was reborn, she understood how good Ye Qingqing was to her. Xie Yiran stepped forward and looked at Ye Qingqing with a serious face. ¡°Qingqing, we can¡¯t go to the horse farm now.¡± ¡°Ah? But I¡¯ve already talked to the people over there. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ye Qingqing was originally happy, but after hearing Xie Yiran¡¯s words, a puzzled look appeared on her small face. Xie Yiran frowned slightly. What should she say? She could not tell Ye Qingqing that she knew what would happen next, right? ¡°I don¡¯t know how to tell you about this. In short, there¡¯s no way to go over there. Let¡¯s go to the mall instead.¡± Xie Yiran stepped forward and held Ye Qingqing¡¯s arm, saying with a smile. Although Ye Qingqing was a little confused, she still nodded and agreed. Hence, Ye Qingqing and Xie Yiran went to the nearby square and strolled around. On the way, Xie Yiran kept thinking about the things that happened in her previous life. She also thought of ways to prevent these things from happening again. Although Xie Yiran could avoid meeting Luo Guanyu if she did not go to the horse farm, Xie Yiran also understood that the two of them seemed to have made a marriage pact when they were young. It was just that it was not time yet, so Xie Honghou had not mentioned this matter yet. At this moment, there was a burst of noise in front of them, and there was a burst of panic among the crowd. Xie Yiran looked up and saw a man skateboarding into the middle of the road. At this moment, a car was speeding toward him. When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, they all cried out in surprise. As for the man, he seemed to be in a daze as he stared blankly at the car that was heading toward him. After seeing this scene, Xie Yiran subconsciously rushed toward the direction of this man. There was nothing she could do. After all, the soul in Xie Yiran¡¯s body was an adult. After seeing this scene, there was naturally no way she could just stand by and do nothing. Not to mention, this fellow was extremely close to Xie Yiran. ¡°Ran Ran! What are you doing?!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Qingqing was caught off guard when she saw Xie Yiran suddenly rush out. She was so scared that she covered her mouth and cried out. Xie Yiran rushed toward the man and pushed him to the ground. Then, the truck brushed past them. Such a dangerous thing scared Xie Yiran so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. Xie Yiran frowned and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Can¡¯t you see where you¡¯re going?¡± The next second, Xie Yiran was stunned because the man under her was actually somewhat similar to Luo Guanyu. In fact, Xie Yiran suddenly thought that she had seen Luo Guanyu. However, when she looked carefully, the person in front of her was not Luo Guanyu. Xie Yiran was bewildered. Could there be such a similar person in this world? The man beneath her was stunned when he saw Xie Yiran.. After he regained his senses, his face flushed slightly. He looked at Xie Yiran and said embarrassedly, ¡°Thank you. What¡¯s your name?¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s expression was slightly solemn. She did not reply to him. Instead, she asked, ¡°Who are you?¡± Xie Yiran could not understand why there was someone who looked so similar to Luo Guanyu! When the man heard that, he looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Luo Yongyi.¡± Rumble¡­ Xie Yiran¡¯s mind instantly went blank. Luo Yongyi was none other than Luo Guanyu¡¯s half-brother. The reason why Xie Yiran did not have any impression of him was because Luo Yongyi had already died a long time ago. At that time, Luo Guanyu did not say much and simply told Xie Yiran that Luo Yongyi had died because of a car accident. However, she did not expect that she had saved Luo Guanyu¡¯s brother by accident! Xie Yiran felt a little mocking in her heart. Ever since she was reborn, she had always wanted to have nothing to do with the Luo family. However, she did not expect that she had saved the Luo family! At this time, the surrounding crowd also stepped forward to help the two of them up. This also made Xie Yiran come back to her senses. Therefore, she stood up immediately and planned to leave without saying a word. However, unexpectedly, the person behind her pulled her wrist. ¡°Who are you? Why didn¡¯t you answer me? You saved me. No matter what, I should thank you. Are you leaving just like that?¡± Xie Yiran frowned and said anxiously, ¡°Let¡¯s just forget about this matter. I don¡¯t need you to thank me.¡± After saying that, she was about to leave, but Luo Yongyi, who was behind her, refused to let her go. He took a safety buckle from his neck. It seemed to be made of high-quality jade. From this, it could be seen how much the Luo family doted on Luo Yongyi, except for his half-brother, Luo Guanyu. Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°This is the safety buckle that my mother begged me for. I¡¯ll give it to you. If you don¡¯t want to tell me your name, then I¡¯ll tell you. I¡¯m the second young master of the Luo family. When the time comes, you can take this thing to find me.¡± Looking at Luo Yongyi who was holding onto her tightly, Xie Yiran frowned deeply. Why is this guy so difficult to deal with?! ¡°I don¡¯t want this thing. You keep it well.¡± What so-called safety buckle? If it was really useful, the Luo Yongyi in his previous life would not have died in a car accident. After Xie Yiran broke free from Luo Yongyi, she walked anxiously to Ye Qingqing¡¯s side. At this time, Ye Qingqing was already blocked by someone outside the crowd. She stood on her feet and anxiously looked inside. ¡°Ran Ran, what were you doing just now? You really scared me to death, you know!¡± Ye Qingqing held Xie Yiran¡¯s hand and looked up and down. She was finally relieved when he saw that Xie Yiran was not injured. ¡°Qingqing, let¡¯s not talk anymore. Let¡¯s hurry back.¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s heart was in a mess now. She was no longer in the mood to go out and stroll around. Her only thought was to immediately go back to her room and think about what exactly was going on. Xie Yiran did not expect that she would be involved with the Luo family again by accident. Initially, she did not go to the horse farm with Ye Qingqing because she was afraid that she would meet Luo Guanyu at that time. However, she did not expect that she would save Luo Guanyu¡¯s younger brother after coming here. Thinking of this, the things that she knew before she died in her previous life surfaced in Xie Yiran¡¯s mind. It was the things that Luo Guanyu had done to her and her family! Xie Yiran¡¯s heart was filled with grief. This time, saving Luo Yongyi was purely an accident. However, from this incident, Xie Yiran also understood that the things that happened before could be changed because of her. If that was the case, Xie Yiran would definitely not let things develop to that extent again! Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Ran Ran, you must never do something like this again, do you understand?¡± Ye Qingqing looked at Xie Yiran and said with a frown. This really scared Ye Qingqing so much that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. If something really happened, Ye Qingqing did not even know how to explain it to Huo Yueshan and the others. Xie Yiran¡¯s thoughts were a mess now. Looking at the familiar scene around her, Xie Yiran could not help but recall the scene of her returning home. Now that she looked at it, she was indeed reborn. The heavens had given her another life, but what Xie Yiran did not understand was why she had to get involved with the Luo family again? Facing Ye Qingqing¡¯s words, Xie Yiran could only muddle through.. When she returned home, she saw Xie Honghou sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Seeing her father, Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes could not help but tear up. Xie Honghou had always been an upright and honest person. It was impossible for him to do anything corrupt, let alone harm someone¡¯s life. Thinking about how it was because of her in her previous life that Xie Honghou had such a bad reputation, Xie Yiran¡¯s heart could not help but ache. ¡°Dad!¡± Xie Yiran plunged into Xie Honghou¡¯s arms. This also made Xie Honghou, who was reading the newspaper, feel puzzled. He looked at Xie Yiran, who was buried in his arms, and said with a frown, ¡°Little girl, did you do something wrong?¡± His own girl had been mischievous since she was young. Although Xie Honghou had fantasized about raising Xie Yiran into a well-bred young lady when Xie Yiran was young, he did not expect her to be like a wild boy. Back then, Xie Honghou and the old master of the Luo family had even decided on a baby marriage. Seeing that Xie Yiran was getting older, it was estimated that she would gradually reach the age of marriage. Xie Yiran still did not have any manners and Xie Honghou really had a headache. This also made Xie Honghou feel very helpless. Now that he saw Xie Yiran¡¯s appearance, and Xie Honghou subconsciously thought that Xie Yiran might have done something wrong. ¡°No, Ran Ran just misses you. I haven¡¯t seen dad for a long time.¡± Xie Yiran said in a wronged manner. She secretly wiped her tears away where Xie Honghou did not notice. Xie Honghou was stunned when he heard this. Then, he calculated that he had indeed gone on a business trip for a few days, but why did he never see Xie Yiran miss him so much before? However, no matter what, Xie Yiran saying that she missed him was a happy thing for Xie Honghou. Hence, he patted Xie Yiran¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°Okay, I got it. Take Qingqing with you to play.¡± Xie Yiran nodded and called Ye Qingqing to go to her room. Speaking of which, Ye Qingqing was more casual when facing Xie Yiran, but when she saw Xie Honghou and Huo Yueshan, she was also a little embarrassed. After all, Ye Qingqing also knew what her identity was. Knowing that her parents were actually servants of the Xie family, although her relationship with Xie Yiran was relatively good, Ye Qingqing would not forget her identity. After returning to his room, Ye Qingqing looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Ran Ran, when you left, that man was still looking at you.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s expression changed when she heard this. She really did not want to have anything to do with the Luo family anymore. Regarding her marriage with Luo Guanyu, Xie Yiran felt that she had to find a suitable opportunity, so she had to discuss it with Xie Honghou properly. Thinking of this, Xie Yiran looked at Ye Qingqing and said, ¡°Qingqing, I¡¯m a little tired. I want to rest for a while. You should go to your room and rest too.¡± Ye Qingqing did not say anything when she saw this. She only felt that Xie Yiran had been frightened by what had happened earlier, so she nodded and said, ¡°Okay, if that¡¯s the case, then you should rest first. Call me if you have anything.¡± After saying this, Ye Qingqing turned around and left. After Ye Qingqing left, Xie Yiran began to think about how she could avoid getting involved with the Luo family. Regarding this engagement issue, it seemed that the Xie family still had to rely on the Luo family¡¯s power to maintain the company¡¯s business. The reason why the marriage was decided at the beginning was because her grandfather had a better relationship with Luo Guanyu¡¯s grandfather. Speaking of which, Xie Yiran did not expect Luo Guanyu to treat her as a springboard. In the end, he even swallowed the Xie family¡¯s business! At this moment, Xie Yiran heard a whistle. She walked to the window and saw a car parked at the door. Then, a few people got out of the car. When she saw this person, the color on Xie Yiran¡¯s face completely disappeared. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Yiran¡¯s expression turned ugly as she watched Luo Guanyu alight from the car. Why was Luo Guanyu here? Could it be that they were going to discuss the marriage? Xie Yiran suddenly felt weak and almost fell to the ground. She breathed heavily and tried to calm herself down. Then, Xie Yiran slowly walked to the side of the bed and held her hand tightly. No matter what, she had to try her best to change her fate! Luo Guanyu came with Xie Li this time. As his parents were busy, they could not attend in person. Therefore, this task fell into Luo Guanyu¡¯s hands. To be honest, Luo Guanyu actually did not want to interfere in Luo Yongyi¡¯s matter, but he had no choice. This matter was ordered by his father, so he could only do it himself. Luo Guanyu did not expect that Luo Yongyi would almost get into a car accident in the afternoon.. The person who saved him was actually the Xie family, who had a certain relationship with their company. After Xie Yiran heard the sound outside the door, she found out that there was a guest in the hall. He said that he wanted Xie Yiran to meet the guest. Although Luo Guanyu did not know, as an adult, Xie Honghou naturally knew about the marriage between Luo Guanyu and Xie Yiran. Although this Luo Guanyu could be considered a handsome man, she was still his daughter, and Xie Honghou would not want to part with her if she got married. Therefore, Xie Honghou did not tell Xie Yiran about it. He originally wanted to wait until the right time to tell Xie Yiran about it. However, he did not expect Xie Yiran to save Luo Guanyu¡¯s brother. This was indeed something that Xie Honghou did not expect. Since Luo Guanyu had already come, Xie Honghou felt that it was time for Xie Yiran to come out and meet him. At the very least, he wanted to cultivate their relationship. However, Xie Honghou did not know that not only did Xie Yiran know about her marriage with Luo Guanyu, but she also really hated Luo Guanyu. Xie Yiran, who was sitting in the room, frowned. She did not expect that the person she had subconsciously saved would bring her such trouble. Now that she was downstairs, it seemed inappropriate for Xie Yiran to not say anything to meet him. After a moment of silence, Xie Yiran finally stood up and opened the door. No matter what, Luo Guanyu was only in his teens. However, Xie Yiran was already in her twenties. Xie Yiran, who had lived for two lifetimes had no need to be afraid of a young boy! After Xie Yiran came to the living room, Xie Honghou laughed and said, ¡°Girl, why didn¡¯t you tell me what happened after you came back?¡± Xie Honghou looked at Xie Yiran with a trace of blame in his eyes. Xie Yiran knew that Xie Honghou was worried that something would happen to her. As expected, Xie Yiran walked to Xie Honghou¡¯s side in the next second, and Xie Honghou said in a low voice, ¡°If you encounter such a thing in the future, you must be careful and avoid it. Do you understand? Although there are some things that are good for a just cause, you have to see if your ability is enough.¡± Xie Yiran felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She nodded to Xie Honghou and said in a low voice, ¡°I understand.¡± Then, she sat beside Xie Honghou and Huo Yueshan. She looked at Luo Guanyu with a slightly cold gaze with a hint of resentment. Luo Guanyu was a little surprised by such a gaze. After all, it was the first time Luo Guanyu met Xie Yiran. Luo Guanyu did not know why Xie Yiran would look at him with such a resentful gaze. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xie Yiran asked coldly. After Luo Guanyu came back to his senses, he said politely, ¡°Ah, I heard that you saved my brother this afternoon, Miss Xie. My father specifically asked me to come here to thank you.¡± As Luo Guanyu spoke, there was a hint of indifference in his eyes, which was a little out of place with his polite look. Xie Yiran had been with Luo Guanyu for a long time in her previous life, so she naturally knew what kind of person Luo Guanyu was. When she saw Luo Guanyu¡¯s eyes, she knew that this gratitude did not reach the bottom of her heart. If it was not because there was no other way, Luo Guanyu would not even come here. Now that Luo Guanyu came to thank her, it was really difficult for her! It was no wonder. Luo Guanyu should have kept his edge. Xie Yiran said coldly, ¡°Thank you. Why didn¡¯t he come personally? Wouldn¡¯t it be a little disingenuous?¡± Her cold tone surprised Huo Yueshan and Xie Honghou, who were sitting next to her. They did not expect Xie Yiran to say that. Xie Honghou glared at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°How can you say that?¡± ¡°Am I wrong, Young Master Luo?¡± Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Yiran continued to look at Luo Guanyu coldly, not hiding her dissatisfaction with him at all. Xie Yiran knew that her parents would not care about such trivial matters. After all, in their eyes, the Luo family was the target of her cooperation. In fact, the Luo family¡¯s strength was even higher than theirs. Xie Honghou believed that he would even understand that Luo Guanyu¡¯s father was a busy person. Therefore, even if he did not personally attend, he would not feel that there was anything wrong. However, Xie Yiran was different. She had already lived her whole life, so she knew how hypocritical Luo Guanyu was. She knew that this was just Luo Guanyu¡¯s disguise. Xie Yiran looked at Luo Guanyu¡¯s gloomy eyes, which surprised him. Was it because his father did not personally attend that Xie Yiran had such a reaction? However, Luo Guanyu felt that this should not be the case.. In addition, Luo Guanyu felt that this hatred seemed to only be directed at him¡­ Xie Honghou quickly said from the side, ¡°Girl, what are you saying? He¡¯s busy with work, so how could he be free? He¡¯s already sincere enough to let Young Master Luo come.¡± Luo Guanyu also looked at Xie Yiran and said indifferently, ¡°Uncle, you can just call me Guanyu. This matter is indeed our fault. In this case, Miss Xie did indeed save my brother¡¯s life. ¡°It¡¯s normal for my father and the others to be here in person, but I¡¯m helpless. It¡¯s indeed because of work, so I hope you don¡¯t mind this.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind. Of course, I don¡¯t mind,¡± Xie Honghou also said with a smile. Xie Yiran¡¯s nails dug into her flesh and said coldly, ¡°Since you¡¯re here to thank me, I¡¯ll make it clear to you. This matter has nothing to do with me. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the person I saved was actually your younger brother¡­¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s tone paused when she said this because she wanted to say that if she knew that this person was Luo Yongyi, she would not rush forward like before no matter what she said. These words sounded to Xie Honghou and Huo Yueshan as if Xie Yiran did not save this person because she knew that this person was Luo Yongyi. No matter who it was, Xie Yiran would make the same choice. Therefore, Xie Honghou did not take it to heart. He was relieved that his daughter was so kind. He believed that no matter who it was, they would have the same reaction. However, Xie Yiran¡¯s tone did not seem to be appropriate. It would be nice if she could be gentler. Xie Honghou attributed Xie Yiran¡¯s current attitude toward Luo Guanyu to the fact that Luo Guanyu¡¯s parents did not come in person, so Xie Yiran could not feel his sincerity. That was why she had such a reaction. However, in Luo Guanyu¡¯s eyes, it was different. Luo Guanyu looked at Xie Yiran in front of him, and his gaze gradually became a little fierce. He really did not understand why such a woman, who he had just met, would harbor such great hostility toward him. Including what Xie Yiran had just said, Luo Guanyu had a feeling that Xie Yiran seemed to want to say that if she knew that the person he saved was his younger brother, Xie Yiran would definitely stand in her spot and watch the accident happen. Although Luo Guanyu did not understand why he had such a feeling, he had a feeling that this was what Xie Yiran wanted to say next. Luo Guanyu took a deep look at Xie Yiran, then looked at Xie Honghou and Huo Yueshan and said, ¡°Regarding this matter, I would like to apologize to uncle and aunty again. I have other things to do here, so I won¡¯t stay any longer.¡± Xie Honghou stood up and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I wanted to keep you here for a while. Since you said you have other matters to attend to, I won¡¯t keep you.¡± Luo Guanyu nodded. Before he left, he took a look at Xie Yiran. Just like before, Xie Yiran¡¯s face remained cold, and there was even a hint of hatred. Luo Guanyu did not understand what she was doing, but he had to admit that Xie Yiran¡¯s behavior made him a little interested. He did not understand why Xie Yiran was looking at him like that. After Luo Guanyu left, Xie Yiran finally heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Luo Guanyu¡¯s back, Xie Yiran suddenly realized that her palm had been pinched. The current Luo Guanyu was still the same as before, and he was good at hiding his sharpness. It made everyone feel that he was gentle and elegant, without any ambition, but in reality, he was not. It was not because he had lived a new life, but maybe Xie Yiran was still fooled by Luo Guanyu¡¯s appearance. ¡°Ran Ran?¡± Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Honghou turned around and saw Xie Yiran staring at Luo Guanyu¡¯s back with a cold expression. This made Xie Honghou extremely shocked, because it was the first time he saw such an expression on such a child¡¯s face. However, in the next second, the expression on Xie Yiran¡¯s face disappeared again. She even returned to her smile and walked forward to hold his arm while talking with a smile. This made Xie Honghou wonder if he was hallucinating. Xie Yiran looked at Xie Honghou and said with a smile, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, father?¡± After a moment of silence, Xie Honghou looked at Xie Yiran seriously and said, ¡°You little girl, why do you have no manners? After all, he is a guest. You shouldn¡¯t treat him like that.¡± ¡°I know. I won¡¯t do it again in the future¡­¡± Xie Yiran lowered her head and said with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Of course, she knew etiquette. She was someone who had lived for two lifetimes, so how could she not know what etiquette was? However, looking at Luo Guanyu¡¯s face, Xie Yiran really could not laugh. Xie Honghou frowned and looked at Xie Yiran. ¡°Why do I feel that you seem to have something on your mind? You seem to have a lot of hostility toward that child, Guanyu. What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you like him?¡± When Xie Yiran heard these words, she suddenly realized that this was the first time she had met Luo Guanyu. She should not have such feelings. Xie Yiran¡¯s hatred toward Luo Guanyu had even been seen by the people at the side, not to mention a meticulous person like Luo Guanyu. Xie Yiran frowned slightly. She had originally thought that when she faced the Luo family members, she would restrain herself and try her best not to have anything to do with them. However, it seemed that she was still unable to control her emotions. This incident also happened to remind Xie Yiran that she was not sure if she would see Luo Guanyu again in the future. However, no matter what, she should hide her emotions well. Thinking of this, Xie Yiran hid the emotions in her eyes. The moment she raised her head, she put on a smiling face once again and said to Xie Honghou in a petulant manner, ¡°That¡¯s for sure. No matter what, I saved his brother. You see, they don¡¯t seem to care about this at all. They just made him come here alone. ¡°How can I be happy about this? Besides, Luo Guanyu looks cold. I don¡¯t see any gratitude on his face.¡± After Xie Yiran said that, she smiled and held Xie Honghou¡¯s arm. She secretly hoped that Xie Honghou would not think too much about it. When Xie Honghou saw that Xie Yiran was really unhappy about this matter, he helplessly patted Xie Yiran¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Luo Guanyu is telling the truth. His family is really busy. ¡°He doesn¡¯t even have the time to see this child, let alone to see us. In short, don¡¯t take this matter to heart.¡± Xie Honghou shook his head and looked at Xie Yiran with a serious expression. He said, ¡°But you have to remember that when you encounter such a dangerous thing in the future, you must not act as rashly as this time, understand? ¡°How old are you? You¡¯re only a child. If something happens to you, what do you want me and your mother to do?¡± Xie Yiran stuck out her tongue and said, ¡°Then don¡¯t I still have my brother?¡± Moreover, if things went smoothly, Huo Yueshan should have given birth to a younger brother for herself. ¡°You lass, what are you talking about? So what if I have your brother? Then you¡¯re still our beloved. In short, you must be careful in the future, understand?¡± Xie Honghou glared at Xie Yiran, feeling a little dissatisfied with what Xie Yiran had said just now. After hearing these words, Xie Yiran¡¯s heart felt warm, and her eyes gradually became moist. Xie Honghou and Huo Yueshan doted on her so much. However, it was because of Xie Xianyue and Luo Guanyu that her family was destroyed and people who loved her died one after another. Speaking of which, Xie Xianyue had not appeared yet, so these things had a turn for the better! Just like Luo Yongyi who survived this time, if she was careful enough, she would definitely be able to let her father and mother survive safely and enjoy their old age! In a new life, Xie Yiran must protect her family well. No matter who it was, no one could hurt them! Xie Yiran did not want Xie Honghou to see her current mood, so she quickly lowered her head and said, ¡°Okay, okay, I got it. I¡¯ll go to my room to rest first.¡± After saying that, she rushed to her room, leaving Xie Honghou and Huo Yueshan speechless. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Honghou looked at Xie Yiran¡¯s back and thought of Xie Yiran¡¯s reaction when she saw Luo Guanyu. For a moment, he could not figure out what Xie Yiran was thinking. He wondered what Xie Yiran¡¯s impression of Luo Guanyu would be if she knew that she was engaged to Luo Guanyu. Would she agree to his marriage? No matter what, if Xie Yiran did not want to marry Luo Guanyu, Xie Honghou would not force her. His only hope was to let Xie Yiran live happily. Huo Yueshan and Xie Yiran went out together. They said that Luo Yongyi¡¯s mother wanted to see Xie Yiran. It was probably because she was unhappy that they did not show up personally. Therefore, she wanted to see Xie Yiran in person, so she arranged a time outside to thank Xie Yiran properly. When she found out about this, Xie Yiran frowned. She initially thought that the matter was over, but she did not expect that Luo Yongyi¡¯s mother wanted to see her. Luo Yongyi¡¯s mother, who was also Luo Guanyu¡¯s stepmother, was not a simple person. This was the conclusion Xie Yiran came to after seeing her. In short, Xie Yiran did not want to go initially, but she was helpless. Now, Xie Honghou¡¯s company could be said to be completely dependent on the Luo family. Hence, even if Xie Yiran did not want to go, she had to still go and see them. Although Xie Yiran did not want to have anything to do with the Luo family, the moment she saved Luo Yongyi, this wish probably could not be fulfilled. Since things had developed to this point, Xie Yiran had no other choice. The only thing she could do now was to try her best to restrain her hatred toward the Luo family. Then, she would try her best not to have any contact with Luo Guanyu and prevent Xie Xianyue from living in her house and entering her life. When Xie Yiran left, Huo Yueshan was still reminding Xie Yiran to be polite when she saw Luo Yongyi¡¯s mother, Lin Youwan. She even told her not to have any bad manners in the Luo family. Logically speaking, Xie Honghou should have accompanied Xie Yiran and the others. However, the company was really busy and he could not find the time. In addition, Lin Youwan had invited them to the Luo residence this time. It was not good for Xie Honghou to go as a man. After all, Luo Yongyi¡¯s father was not present, so only Huo Yueshan and Xie Yiran went. After hearing Huo Yueshan say a lot of things to her along the way, Xie Yiran frowned slightly. She nodded helplessly and said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. I know what to do. I will definitely be very polite.¡± After all, Xie Yiran had lived her entire life. In her previous life, she had interacted with Lin Youwan before. Hence, this time, she naturally knew how to talk to Lin Youwan. Moreover, Huo Yueshan came with her. Hence, Xie Yiran did not think that Lin Youwan would always talk to her child. She would probably just say a few words and then chat with Huo Yueshan, leaving her aside. Of course, Xie Yiran was actually willing to do such a thing. Xie Yiran did not want to talk so much with Lin Youwan right now. She did not even want to set foot in the Luo family¡¯s territory. Thinking of Luo Guanyu¡¯s figure in that place, Xie Yiran felt a wave of nausea. She felt extremely disgusted. Huo Yueshan held Xie Yiran¡¯s hand and nodded. ¡°Okay, it¡¯s good that you know. In short, the Luo family is a very important partner for your father. No matter what, we shouldn¡¯t cause trouble for your father.¡± Huo Yueshan said out loud to herself. It was unknown whether she was talking to Xie Yiran or herself. Xie Yiran understood what Huo Yueshan was trying to say. Just like what Huo Yueshan said, the Xie family needed to rely on the Luo family now. Once the Luo family was angered, the Xie family¡¯s business would probably be ruined. This was also a very troublesome matter. Xie Yiran had no interest in these things before, which was why she did not react after Luo Guanyu annexed her company, but it was only after Xie Xianyue reminded her that she found out. However, it would not happen this time. Xie Yiran felt that if it was possible in the future, she had to think of a way to make the Xie family completely leave the Luo family. Otherwise, this matter would always be a threat to the Xie family and herself. Sitting in the car, Huo Yueshan looked at the figure that flashed past the window. Her expression unconsciously became solemn. This Xie Yiran was someone that Huo Yueshan had never seen before. It was as if Xie Yiran had grown up in just one night. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation This made Huo Yueshan feel a little strange. However, Xie Yiran only casually lied about it. Huo Yueshan did not think too much about it. However, she was still not used to Xie Yiran who seemed to have a lot on her mind. After all, in Huo Yueshan¡¯s eyes, Xie Yiran should be a carefree child who was usually heartless and would not take anything to heart. However, Huo Yueshan did not know that although Xie Yiran looked like a child on the outside, she was already an adult in the depths of her heart. Xie Yiran did not notice Huo Yueshan¡¯s expression. She just kept looking out of the window, frowning and lost in thought. All of a sudden, Xie Yiran seemed to see the face that she would never forget! Xie Xianyue! The moment she saw Xie Xianyue, Xie Yiran immediately turned back to look. Huo Yueshan, who was at the side, was also very surprised.. Huo Yueshan frowned and looked at Xie Yiran who was leaning against the window and looking back. She said in puzzlement, ¡°Ran Ran, what¡¯s wrong with you? What did you see? Otherwise, tell the driver to stop?¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s heart thumped when she heard this. Naturally, she could not stop. Otherwise, it would not be good if Huo Yueshan saw Xie Xianyue. What if she came to their house earlier than Xie Xianyue? Would that not be bad? Therefore, Xie Yiran quickly said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You don¡¯t have to stop. I just saw an acquaintance.¡± Huo Yueshan finally nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯m a little carsick. I want to sleep for a while. You can wake me up when it¡¯s time.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll open the window for you to get some air,¡± Xie Yiran said to Huo Yueshan. Huo Yueshan nodded and closed her eyes. Xie Yiran finally looked back again. She could no longer see Xie Xianyue. Xie Yiran¡¯s expression became very serious. She was not sure if the person she saw just now was Xie Xianyue. Maybe she was mistaken? According to Xie Yiran¡¯s memories from her previous life, the current Xie Xianyue should not have appeared here. Thinking of this, Xie Yiran began to calculate when Xie Xianyue was brought home in her previous life. No matter what, Xie Yiran had to prevent this from happening. In her previous life, Xie Yiran was foolishly framed by Xie Xianyue. She even let Xie Xianyue hook up with Luo Guanyu. Thinking of these things, Xie Yiran felt disgusted. Of course, Xie Xianyue did not care if she and Luo Guanyu wanted to be together or get married. Xie Yiran¡¯s only request was not to have any relationship with her and her family. Whatever Xie Xianyue and Luo Guanyu wanted to do, it was their business. It had nothing to do with Xie Yiran! After a while, the car stopped. Looking at the familiar Luo family villa in front of her, Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes showed a trace of coldness. However, it only took a few seconds for Xie Yiran to hide this coldness. She revealed a harmless smile and gently patted Huo Yueshan, saying, ¡°Mom, we¡¯re here. How are you? Do you feel alright?¡± Hearing that, Huo Yueshan opened her eyes and shook her head, saying, ¡°Fortunately, it didn¡¯t take long. Otherwise, I guess you would feel uncomfortable.¡± The two of them opened the door and got out of the car. Lin Youwan and Luo Yongyi seemed to have heard the sound of the car and came out one after another. When they saw Xie Yiran, Luo Yongyi happily went forward and held Xie Yiran¡¯s hand. He said, ¡°Finally, I see you again. I asked for your name before, but you weren¡¯t willing to tell me.¡± As he spoke, Luo Yongyi¡¯s eyes showed a hint of pride, as if he was telling Xie Yiran that even though Xie Yiran was unwilling to reveal her name at that time, Luo Yongyi could still find Xie Yiran. However, Luo Yongyi did not expect that Xie Yiran¡¯s family had such a close relationship with his family. Xie Yiran was stunned for a moment before she broke free from Luo Yongyi¡¯s hand. Then, she looked at Lin Youwan and said, ¡°Hello, aunty.¡± Xie Yiran did not want to reply to Luo Yongyi¡¯s words. Moreover, Luo Yongyi was holding her hand right from the start, which made Xie Yiran feel a little uncomfortable. If this was in the ancient times, she would probably be thrown into a pig¡¯s pen because of this matter. Of course, although it was not ancient times now, Xie Yiran still did not want to have anything to do with them. In the eyes of Huo Yueshan and Lin Youwan, this kind of thing was because Xie Yiran, at such a young age, not only knew etiquette, but she was also more reserved. This made Huo Yueshan feel gratified, but at the same time, Lin Youwan was also filled with joy. Lin Youwan hurriedly smiled and said, ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Come in and take a seat.¡± As she spoke, she brought Xie Yiran and Huo Yueshan inside. Xie Yiran looked at the familiar door and the surrounding decorations, and could not help but break out in a cold sweat. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Her legs were a little out of control. She stood there in a daze. In the end, Huo Yueshan held her hand and brought Xie Yiran in. In the living room, Lin Youwan had already prepared tea. As for Luo Guanyu, he was standing at the stairs. He glanced at Xie Yiran indifferently and then walked upstairs as if he did not care about this matter at all. Xie Yiran was also happy. She would be even happier if she did not see Luo Guanyu. As for Lin Youwan and Luo Yongyi, they were not Luo Guanyu¡¯s biological mother and younger brother, so she did not really care about it. ¡°She¡¯s really beautiful. She looks like a young lady from a big family.¡± Lin Youwan looked at Xie Yiran and held Huo Yueshan¡¯s hand warmly. Huo Yueshan also smiled as she shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. This girl is usually very wild, just like a little kid. It¡¯s just that she looks more obedient now.¡± ¡°That doesn¡¯t matter. Anyway, the first time I saw Ran Ran, I was already very curious about her. Speaking of which, Ran Ran even saved my unfilial son.¡± Lin Youwan also glanced at Luo Yongyi as she spoke, and then she smiled and said, ¡°This kid has been talking about Ran Ran ever since he came back. We also spent some effort to finally know that the person who saved him back then was Ran Ran.¡± Xie Yiran kept her head lowered and did not say anything. She only felt a little mocking after hearing Lin Youwan¡¯s words. She already knew her identity in just one afternoon, and she still had the nerve to say that it was a waste of effort? Moreover, Xie Yiran did not know what was going on. When she saw Lin Youwan¡¯s smile and tone, she felt that something was not right. She felt that Lin Youwan seemed to be scheming something. Lin Youwan glanced at Xie Yiran and then said warmly to Huo Yueshan, ¡°Speaking of which, Ran Ran is about to become an adult, right? If such a girl was my daughter-in-law, I would be so happy.¡± Xie Yiran frowned slightly. Where no one could see, Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes showed a trace of surprise. What did Lin Youwan mean? Although Lin Youwan could be considered Luo Guanyu¡¯s mother now, Xie Yiran did not think that Lin Youwan and Luo Guanyu¡¯s relationship would be willing to treat Luo Guanyu¡¯s partner as her daughter-in-law. After all, in her previous life, every time Lin Youwan saw Xie Yiran, she was neither warm nor cold. It was the same attitude as when she faced Luo Guanyu. It could be said that the relationship between Luo Guanyu and Lin Youwan was not very good. Therefore, could Lin Youwan be trying to set her up with Luo Yongyi? Although Luo Yongyi was Luo Guanyu¡¯s younger brother, he was still one or two years older than Xie Yiran. Therefore, when Xie Yiran heard this, her expression changed. Xie Yiran did not want to marry Luo Guanyu. This did not mean that Xie Yiran was willing to marry Luo Yongyi. In comparison, Xie Yiran had a better understanding of Luo Guanyu. However, she really did not know anything about Luo Yongyi who was lucky enough to survive, but she really did not know anything about him. Xie Yiran was even more puzzled when she saw that Luo Yongyi did not have any reaction after Lin Youwan said these words. She secretly tugged at Huo Yueshan¡¯s clothes. How could Huo Yueshan not know what Xie Yiran meant? Huo Yueshan naturally knew that Xie Yiran was actually engaged to Luo Guanyu, so she also felt that Lin Youwan¡¯s words were a little inappropriate. Huo Yueshan smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t tease this girl. You¡¯ll be embarrassed later. Your young master is such a good-looking person. What kind of partner can¡¯t he find? My girl is just a kid.¡± Lin Youwan saw that Huo Yueshan rejected her, but she did not care. She still smiled and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. No one knows what kind of person this kid will like when he grows up. Maybe he lwill like a child like Ran Ran? ¡°In short, as parents, we can¡¯t interfere in these things. Let¡¯s see what they think. What do you think?¡± Lin Youwan¡¯s words were telling Huo Yueshan that although Huo Yueshan had refused, Lin Youwan would not give up just like that. Moreover, what would happen to Xie Yiran and Luo Yongyi in the future, no one could say for sure. Although Huo Yueshan did not know if Xie Yiran would fall in love with Luo Yongyi in the future, Huo Yueshan would support her as long as it was Xie Yiran¡¯s idea, therefore, Huo Yueshan nodded with a smile and said, ¡°In that case, it will depend on their own luck.¡± Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Youwan finally smiled in satisfaction, she held Huo Yueshan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Speaking of which, I have a piece of high-quality fabric in my room. Come with me to my room and take a look. If you like it, I¡¯ll give it to you guys as a thank you gift.¡± Huo Yueshan knew that Lin Youwan wanted to give Xie Yiran and Luo Yongyi some alone time. She glanced at Xie Yiran and saw that Xie Yiran did not have any expression of resistance, so she nodded in agreement. Therefore, only Xie Yiran and Luo Yongyi were left in the hall. ¡°Ran Ran? What are you thinking about?¡± Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile. Seeing that Xie Yiran was in a daze and did not speak to him, he did not care. He even took the initiative to talk to Xie Yiran. Looking at Luo Yongyi in front of her, Xie Yiran even felt that Luo Yongyi did not understand what Lin Youwan¡¯s words meant. Lin Youwan wanted to set her up with Luo Yongyi, but Luo Yongyi was like this¡­ Xie Yiran was really unwilling. It was not because of Luo Yongyi¡¯s character, but mainly because Xie Yiran really did not want to have anything to do with the Luo family anymore. If it was possible, Xie Yiran would not even bother with them. It was just that now was not the right time. Therefore, when facing Luo Yongyi, Xie Yiran only felt a wave of annoyance. He said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just thinking about how you found me.¡± Luo Yongyi held his head high and said with a smile, ¡°This is naturally not a difficult matter for our Luo family. In short, I have to thank you properly for this matter. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you, I would have been in a car accident at that time. Whether I would still be alive or not is unknown. Therefore, looking at it from another angle, you are actually my savior!¡± These words were well said. Xie Yiran looked at Luo Yongyi with a strange expression. After all, the Luo Yongyi in his previous life had indeed died in a car accident. If it was not for her, he might have really died at the scene of the car accident. Therefore, what Luo Yongyi said now was understandable. However, what made Xie Yiran¡¯s head hurt was that she did not know how to distance herself from Luo Yongyi. ¡°By the way, What¡¯s your name? I just heard my mother and the others call you Ran Ran. What¡¯s your real name? I asked you at that time, but why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile. ¡°My name is Xie Yiran. At that time, I didn¡¯t want to cause too much trouble for myself, so I didn¡¯t want to tell you what my name was. However, I didn¡¯t expect that you still found my house,¡± Xie Yiran said indifferently. Facing Luo Yongyi, Xie Yiran did not have any expression on her face. Although she could not say that she was as disgusted as she was at Luo Guanyu, when she saw this face that was 70-80% similar to Luo Guanyu¡¯s, Xie Yiran did not have any happy thoughts in her heart. Not to mention, Lin Youwan actually wanted to set her up with Luo Yongyi just now. This caused Xie Yiran to be even more annoyed when she saw Luo Yongyi. It was just that Xie Yiran was already a very mature adult in this body, so she could skillfully hide her emotions. ¡°At that time, I asked for your name to repay you. Moreover, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen a girl so bold. However, when I saw that car, I was completely dumbfounded!¡± Luo Yongyi waved his hand and said with a smile. Then, he casually held Xie Yiran¡¯s arm and said, ¡°You are really my benefactor. I don¡¯t think my brothers are as bold as you.¡± Looking at the arm on her shoulder, Xie Yiran¡¯s face showed a trace of unnoticeable disgust, then, she glared at Luo Yongyi and said, ¡°So, this is how you treat your benefactor? This kind of behavior will make you look a little sloppy.¡± Luo Yongyi was slightly stunned. When he finally reacted, he hurriedly withdrew himself and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ve always been this careless but don¡¯t be calculative with me.¡± Looking at Luo Yongyi¡¯s sincere look, Xie Yiran also sighed helplessly. If she had known earlier, she would not have taken action and saved herself so much trouble. At the same time, Xie Yiran was very curious. Now that Luo Guanyu¡¯s younger brother had survived, who would inherit the Luo family¡¯s property in the future? Xie Yiran did not think that Luo Yongyi would be so foolish as to not have any ambition and that he was willing to hand over the Luo family¡¯s property to Luo Guanyu willingly. ¡°What happened yesterday is nothing in my eyes. Saving you is just a matter of convenience, so you don¡¯t have to take it to heart.¡± Xie Yiran looked at Luo Yongyi and said indifferently. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°It seems that your performance yesterday was not what you said. You really don¡¯t care.¡± At this moment, a voice that Xie Yiran would never forget was heard. The moment Xie Yiran heard this voice, she was stunned. After she reacted, she turned around and looked. As expected, Luo Guanyu had already left his room. At this moment, he was staring at Xie Yiran and Luo Yongyi on the other side of the stairs. Looking at Luo Guanyu in front of her, this time, Xie Yiran could clearly see Luo Guanyu¡¯s appearance. This face that she was extremely familiar with now had a hint of naivety. He looked like a bright and beautiful youth. However, Xie Yiran knew clearly in her heart what kind of ambition Luo Guanyu had hidden in his heart and what kind of things he would do in the future! Xie Yiran stared at Luo Guanyu. This gaze made Luo Guanyu feel a little uncomfortable. At the same time, Luo Guanyu felt that Xie Yiran was looking at him with dissatisfaction. Although the current Xie Yiran did not look as strong and stubborn as she did at the Xie family, Luo Guanyu did not feel the hatred in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes. However, Luo Guanyu could still see a trace of hatred in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes. It was as if he had done something to let Xie Yiran down. For a moment, Luo Guanyu did not understand. This was because Luo Guanyu really did not know what he had done to offend this woman. However, Xie Yiran took a look at Luo Guanyu and withdrew her gaze. Then, she said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ve always been like this. Young Master Luo, you must have misunderstood something.¡± Luo Guanyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yiran. He was a little curious about her, but a person like Luo Guanyu would never reveal his true thoughts. Therefore, he went up to Xie Yiran and said, ¡°Oh? Is that so? Then I must have misunderstood.¡± There was a hint of mockery in his tone. If it was not because Xie Yiran had already figured out Luo Guanyu¡¯s temper in her previous life, Xie Yiran probably would not have been able to hear the hidden mockery in Luo Guanyu¡¯s words. After Luo Guanyu said these words, he no longer paid attention to Xie Yiran. He looked at Luo Yongyi and said, ¡°I remember that father seemed to have given you a task before he left. He will check it when he comes back, right? ¡°There is not much time left until father comes back. Do you still want to stand here and play with this Miss Xie?¡± Luo Yongyi seemed to have suddenly thought of something when he heard these words. He quickly said, ¡°Oh right, I forgot about this! ¡°Brother, please help me entertain my savior. I¡¯ll excuse myself first.¡± Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Ran Ran, I¡¯ll go and do my work first. Don¡¯t mind me. I¡¯ll take you out to play when I have time in the future.¡± Xie Yiran felt very helpless when she heard that. She had never promised to go out to play with Luo Yongyi, had she? However, Xie Yiran was too lazy to explain. After Luo Yongyi left, Luo Guanyu would probably go back in a while. Xie Yiran was the only one who was happy here. Therefore, Xie Yiran nodded indifferently in the face of Luo Yongyi¡¯s words. After Luo Yongyi left, only Luo Guanyu and Xie Yiran were left in the hall. According to Xie Yiran¡¯s understanding of Luo Guanyu, Luo Guanyu would leave soon and return to his own room. Therefore, she was too lazy to waste her time with Luo Guanyu. Thus, she turned around and planned to sit down. However, she did not expect to hear footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she saw that Luo Guanyu had already arrived behind her. Xie Yiran frowned as she looked at Luo Guanyu. She did not understand what Luo Guanyu was trying to do. At first, Luo Guanyu thought that he was thinking too much, but now that he saw Xie Yiran¡¯s gaze, he was even more certain. It seemed that Xie Yiran only acted like this when she was facing him, and she only acted like this when she was angry. When she was facing Luo Yongyi just now, her attitude was clearly not like this. She even promised Luo Yongyi that she would go out to play in the future. Hence, Luo Guanyu could not understand why she would have such hostility toward him. ¡°When I listened to her just now, she wanted to set you up with my brother. It seems like she wants you to be the daughter-in-law of the Luo family. You should be very happy now.¡± Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Yiran immediately frowned when she heard this. She did not understand why Luo Guanyu would say such a thing. It would seem like Luo Guanyu was jealous. However, Xie Yiran knew clearly in her heart that such a person would not be jealous. Xie Yiran stared at Luo Guanyu and sneered, ¡°Why? What do you mean by saying this now? It makes me think that you are jealous. Why? Are you jealous?¡± ¡°What kind of joke is that? How could I be jealous of you?¡± Luo Guanyu looked embarrassed and annoyed, as if he had been exposed. In fact, Luo Guanyu did not understand why he felt so uncomfortable when he knew that Lin Youwan wanted to set Xie Yiran and Luo Yongyi up. ¡°What? You think what I said is wrong, but I think it¡¯s true.¡± Xie Yiran looked at Luo Guanyu mockingly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes. ¡°Otherwise, this matter obviously has nothing to do with you, doesn¡¯t it? Then, why are you being so aggressive and mocking me? Even if I¡¯m happy, what does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I be happy that I found a good husband?¡± Xie Yiran stared at Luo Guanyu and said word by word, ¡°These things have nothing to do with you, Young Master Luo!¡± Hearing Xie Yiran¡¯s aggressive words, Luo Guanyu¡¯s face became more and more gloomy. However, the woman in front of him did not seem to be able to read his emotions at all. Her small mouth was still opening and closing as she said those words. That made Luo Guanyu very dissatisfied. Luo Guanyu suddenly walked up to Xie Yiran¡¯s side. His gaze was unbridled as he examined Xie Yiran. Then, he said mockingly, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Miss Xie to be so eloquent. ¡°But I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t like women like you that much. Your matters have nothing to do with me. If it wasn¡¯t because Luo Yongyi is my younger brother, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered with you at all. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Hehe, if that¡¯s really the case, I really have to thank you!¡± Xie Yiran sneered and said, ¡°I thank you for not liking me. I even beg you not to have any interest in me. Don¡¯t pay attention to me at all!¡± Xie Yiran was telling the truth. After all, Xie Yiran really did not want to have anything to do with Luo Guanyu. If Luo Guanyu did not have any interest in her, Xie Yiran would be the happiest. On the contrary, he would not have said so much about what Luo Guanyu said if it was not because it had something to do with Luo Yongyi. It really made Xie Yiran a little suspicious. After all, Luo Guanyu did not look like he had a good relationship with Luo Yongyi. Xie Yiran also felt that Luo Guanyu was such an ambitious guy, so how could he really tolerate a younger brother who stole his family¡¯s business from him? Luo Guanyu¡¯s face turned even uglier. Xie Yiran was the first woman to talk to him like that. Other women would chase after him eagerly when they saw him, but now, Xie Yiran was eager to have nothing to do with him? Luo Guanyu said in a low voice, ¡°In short, you¡¯d better be smart and not have anything to do with my brother. Even if I¡¯m not interested in you, I don¡¯t want to see you in my house in the future, understand?¡± Xie Yiran shrugged and said to Luo Guanyu, ¡°Of course there¡¯s no problem. Do you think all women want to enter the Luo family? There¡¯s no problem on my side, but I think you¡¯d better look after your brother. ¡°I can¡¯t guarantee that your brother will be like you and have no interest in me. Of course, if that¡¯s the case, I¡¯d be more than happy to!¡± Luo Guanyu did not expect Xie Yiran to dare to say those words in front of him. For a moment, he frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a series of footsteps, then, Lin Youwan and Huo Yueshan walked out with a smile. The woman in front of him, who was so aggressive just a moment ago, suddenly became like a kitten. She was obedient and docile, as if everything that happened just now was an illusion. This made Luo Guanyu even more interested. He did not expect Xie Yiran to have two faces. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Seeing Lin Youwan and Huo Yueshan appear, Xie Yiran¡¯s threatening look disappeared instantly. She looked like a quiet girl, which amused Luo Guanyu. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. We¡¯ll go back now,¡± Huo Yueshan looked at Lin Youwan and said with a smile. Lin Youwan smiled and nodded. She did not try to persuade them to stay. ¡°Okay, in that case, I won¡¯t keep you any longer. Come and play more often next time. I really like Ran Ran.¡± ¡°Of course, if you have time in the future, come and play with Ran Ran,¡± Huo Yueshan said with a smile. Xie Yiran was secretly anxious when she heard that, but she still looked indifferent on the surface. Xie Yiran had never wanted to have anything to do with the Luo family, but things seemed to go against her wishes. Lin Youwan and Huo Yueshan did not know what they had talked about, but Huo Yueshan was actually willing to let Xie Yiran come here to play when she had nothing to do. Xie Yiran wanted to say, ¡®What¡¯s so fun about that? The people in this place are all cannibals.¡¯ Xie Yiran did not think that she could do whatever she wanted in this place. As long as she met people like Luo Guanyu and Lin Youwan, Xie Yiran had to be careful. Only then could she guarantee that she would not leave any loopholes in her words and actions. More importantly, Xie Yiran needed to be on guard against these guys at all times. After they went back, Huo Yueshan asked what Xie Yiran had said to Luo Guanyu just now. To be honest, Huo Yueshan knew that Xie Yiran and Luo Guanyu had an engagement when they were young. However, Lin Youwan seemed to like Xie Yiran as well. She even wanted to get Luo Yongyi and Xie Yiran together. As Xie Yiran¡¯s mother, Huo Yueshan did not know how to handle this matter. She could only let them develop on their own. However, Huo Yueshan looked at her daughter. She really did not understand why Lin Youwan took a liking to this little girl. She even wanted Xie Yiran to be her precious son¡¯s daughter-in-law. Was it just because Xie Yiran saved Luo Yongyi back then? On the way back, Huo Yueshan told Xie Yiran that she could visit Lin Youwan¡¯s house more often if she was free. Of course, this was just a formality. Huo Yueshan would definitely not force Xie Yiran to go. Although Xie Yiran agreed on the surface, she was actually very conflicted about this matter. If she could find an opportunity to explain herself, she would definitely not go. After returning home, Xie Yiran felt much more relaxed than when she was at Luo Guanyu¡¯s house. Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Speaking of which, your birthday is coming up in a few days. When that time comes, you¡¯ll be a big girl. How do you want to hold your 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony?¡± 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony¡­ After Xie Yiran heard these words, she subconsciously recalled that in her previous life, Xie Xianyue seemed to have been brought here in a few days. Xie Yiran wanted to prevent this from happening, but she was helpless and did not even know where Xie Xianyue was. This also made Xie Yiran feel a headache. In short, no matter what, she had to stop Huo Yueshan and Xie Honghou from adopting Xie Xianyue, the ingrate! ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll listen to you. Do whatever you want,¡± Xie Yiran said with a smile, but her mind had already flown to other places. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Speaking of which, your brother is coming back. You two have always had a good relationship. I think your brother will definitely give you a present on your birthday this time.¡± Huo Yueshan patted Xie Yiran¡¯s small hand as she said with a smile. Hearing this, a smile appeared in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes. Indeed, Xie Yiran and her brother, Xie Wenhui, who was in the army, basically only met each other once in a very long time. The relationship between the two of them had always been very good since they were young. Every time Xie Yiran parted with him, she was very sad! Fortunately, he was about to be discharged from the army. Thinking of the car accident that happened to Xie Wenhui because of Xie Honghou in her previous life, Xie Yiran had no way of forgiving Luo Guanyu. This time, Xie Yiran certainly would not let such a thing happen again! Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Yiran had just returned to her room after dinner when she heard the sound of a horn outside the door. Xie Yiran¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously thought that it was Luo Guanyu again. After all, Lin Youwan looked like she wanted to build a relationship with their family. It was not impossible for her to come here on her own accord. Xie Yiran frowned and walked to the window. When she saw the person who got out of the car, she heaved a sigh of relief. The person who came this time was none other than Xie Wenhui, the brother that Xie Yiran was still talking about. After talking to Huo Yueshan and Xie Honghou, Xie Wenhui came to Xie Yiran. . Looking at Xie Yiran, Xie Wenhui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, ¡°I heard from my parents just now that you¡¯ve done a great deed in the past few days?¡± Xie Yiran felt a little guilty upon hearing this. After all, Xie Wenhui doted on her so much. Naturally, he did not wish for her to do anything dangerous. Moreover, Xie Yiran had lived for so long since she was young. She could definitely hear from Xie Wenhui¡¯s words that the current him was actually a little unhappy in his heart. ¡°Not really. It¡¯s just that when I was playing on the street with Qing Qing, I encountered something like that. Coincidentally, that person was very near to me. You can¡¯t expect me to just stand by and watch him die¡­¡± Xie Yiran did not even make a sound at the end of her sentence. It was obvious that she was feeling guilty, even though she was saying nice things like ¡®standing by and watch him die¡¯. If Xie Yiran knew in advance that the person she saved was Luo Guanyu¡¯s younger brother and that she would still be involved with the Luo family in the future, Xie Yiran would not save him no matter what. Seeing Xie Yiran¡¯s expression, Xie Wenhui felt very helpless. This sister of his really made people worry. He sighed and said, ¡°Forget it. Next time, it won¡¯t happen again. But if you encounter such a dangerous thing again, you must first ensure your own safety, okay?¡± Seeing that Xie Wenhui was no longer angry, Xie Yiran also raised her head and said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I know. Father has also told me about this matter before, so there won¡¯t be a next time!¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± When Xie Wenhui said this, he looked at Xie Yiran teasingly. This look made Xie Yiran feel a little uneasy. ¡°No, brother. Why are you looking at me like that? I feel a little embarrassed looking at you,¡± Xie Yiran said and looked at Xie Wenhui. Xie Wenhui raised his eyebrows and smiled. ¡°I heard that because of your great feat this time, people have taken a liking to you? They want to set you up with her son. Coincidentally, the person you saved this time is the second young master of the Luo family. ¡°Hasn¡¯t the Luo Corporation always had a cooperative relationship with us? Because of you, the relationship between our two families has become even closer. Speaking of which, you¡¯re about to become an adult.¡± Xie Wenhui¡¯s tone paused. After taking a glance at Xie Yiran, he continued, ¡°Do you have someone you like? Although Lin Youwan has always been trying to set you up with Luo Yongyi, I heard that Luo Yongyi is childish. He¡¯s not even comparable to that brother of his.¡± When Xie Yiran heard these words, she felt a wave of helplessness in her heart. Her own brother really did not understand. How was it because she had saved Luo Yongyi that Lin Youwan wanted to set them up? It was clearly because Lin Youwan had sharp eyes and saw the Xie family behind Xie Yiran, as well as Xie Honghou¡¯s strength that she was trying to pave the way for her son. After all, if Xie Yiran was with Luo Yongyi, as Xie Honghou¡¯s son-in-law in the future, Xie Honghou would definitely use his own resources to help Luo Yongyi rise to the top. Moreover, although the two families had never mentioned the engagement between Xie Yiran and Luo Guanyu, Xie Yiran did not think that Lin Youwan, as a parent, was unaware of this matter. Besides, even if Lin Youwan wanted to set Xie Yiran and Luo Yongyi up, Xie Yiran did not want to have anything to do with them. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t mention these things in the future. What do you mean like it or not? How old am I? Moreover, I want to be with my parents all the time. It¡¯s her business to set it up. I don¡¯t have any feelings for the two young masters of the Luo family,¡± said Xie Yiran as she frowned slightly while looking at Xie Wenhui¡¯s serious expression. This serious expression surprised Xie Wenhui. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and stroked Xie Yiran¡¯s hair, saying, ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You¡¯re still a little girl. I won¡¯t mention these things to you.¡± Although he said so, Xie Wenhui only felt that Xie Yiran was just a little girl who was shy. After all, how could there be someone who never got married and stayed at home to accompany their parents? Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Such a thing had never happened in ancient times. Although it was now the 21st century, there were indeed very few women who never got married. However, hearing Xie Yiran¡¯s words, Xie Wenhui was happy in his heart. After all, Xie Wenhui had doted on Xie Yiran since she was young, and he really did not want Xie Yiran to get married so early. After the two of them talked for a while, Xie Wenhui returned to his room. Xie Yiran also washed up a little. She laid on the bed and fell into deep thoughts. At this moment, Xie Yiran¡¯s tender face revealed a trace of sadness that did not match her age. If this Xie Yiran was seen by Lin Youwan or Xie Wenhui, they would definitely be very surprised. Xie Yiran thought about it and unknowingly fell asleep. In her dream, she dreamed that things had once again developed into a situation that she could not salvage.. Seeing the tragic deaths of Xie Honghou and Xie Wenhui, Xie Yiran was so scared that she immediately woke up from her dream. After looking at the furnishings in the room, Xie Yiran realized that it was a dream. However, even though it was a dream, it still made Xie Yiran feel a lingering fear. In Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes, what happened in her previous life was equivalent to a nightmare. Every day, Xie Yiran thought of changing the course of events. Xie Yiran wiped off the cold sweat on her head and recalled what had happened in the past few days. Xie Yiran remembered that in her previous life, Xie Xianyue should have already arrived at the Xie family at this time. However, after living a new life, she realized that things seemed to be slightly different from her previous life. Could it be because she had saved Luo Yongyi back then? Would a small matter cause some changes in the subsequent events? If Xie Xianyue did not appear like this, that would naturally be great. However, Xie Yiran felt that although some things had changed, the general direction was still the same. Xie Xianyue would probably come to the Xie family soon. In her previous life, Xie Yiran did not care about these things because she liked to play. However, one day, Xie Xianyue was adopted. From the looks of it, the servants seemed to be familiar with Xie Xianyue. Thinking of this, Xie Yiran had a guess in her heart. Could it be that Xie Xianyue had actually stayed in the Xie family for a period of time before she was adopted? It was only later that Huo Yueshan discovered that Xie Xianyue was wearing a small pendant. Speaking of which, there was a story behind this. This small pendant seemed to have been given to her by Huo Yueshan¡¯s old playmate. As the two of them had a very good relationship, after seeing the pendant on Xie Xianyue¡¯s body, she knew that this girl was actually the child of her playmate. After inquiring about Xie Xianyue¡¯s background, Huo Yueshan could not bear it and finally adopted Xie Xianyue. Before this, Xie Yiran did not feel that there was anything wrong. However, now that she thought about it carefully, Xie Yiran would find that there were actually many flaws in this matter. For example, how could Xie Xianyue be so coincidental as to be Huo Yueshan¡¯s playmate¡¯s child? She even happened to have the pendant on her and came to work at the Xie family¡¯s house? No matter how she thought about it, there was something wrong. Everything was too coincidental, so coincidental that Xie Yiran felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that Xie Xianyue came here with the intention of letting Huo Yueshan adopt her from the start¡­? This was too scary. At that age, she only knew how to have fun, but Xie Xianyue already had such a scheme in mind? Although Xie Yiran did not dare to believe it at the beginning, when she thought of what Xie Xianyue had done to her in her previous life, and even looked like she had a sisterly relationship with her, Xie Yiran suddenly felt that this matter was actually not impossible. At the thought of this, Xie Yiran¡¯s nails dug into her flesh. ¡°Xie Xianyue, oh Xie Xianyue, I really didn¡¯t expect you to be so calculative. This time, I will definitely make you pay the price!¡± Xie Yiran said through gritted teeth. Then, Xie Yiran got up and washed up before she went to find the Xie family¡¯s housekeeper. She wanted to ask if there was an extra servant in the family. If Xie Xianyue managed to sneak into this place ahead of time, then Xie Yiran had to chase Xie Xianyue out before Huo Yueshan found out about her background! Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation However, after a round of questioning, Xie Yiran still could not find Xie Xianyue as she wished. She even used the name that Xie Xianyue used before she came to the Xie family, but she still could not find this person. For a moment, Xie Yiran frowned slightly. Things seemed to be somewhat different from what she had imagined, but what exactly was going on? It seemed that the direction of things had indeed gone wrong because she had subconsciously saved Luo Yongyi back then. However, no matter what, Xie Yiran could be considered to have a clear understanding of what kind of people Xie Xianyue and Luo Guanyu were. As such, she could be considered to be on guard in the future. Thus, after searching for a long time, she still could not find Xie Xianyue. Xie Yiran might as well give up. In the blink of an eye, Xie Yiran had already returned for many days. In these few days, other than dealing with Lin Youwan and Luo Guanyu, the rest of the time was considered pretty good. As long as she did not see Luo Guanyu, Xie Yiran felt that her mood was extremely good.. Speaking of which, Xie Wenhui had already returned for a few days. As his vacation was not that long, he would return soon. Although Xie Yiran was a little reluctant, she could not do anything about it. After all, Xie Yiran had no right to interfere in such matters. Xie Yiran could only do her best to make sure that Xie Wenhui and Xie Honghou did not repeat the same mistake. Every time before Xie Wenhui left, Huo Yueshan would go to the temple to pray. It could be considered as a peace offering. Normally, Xie Yiran would not have any interest in such matters. Even if Huo Yueshan asked Xie Yiran to go with her, Xie Yiran would not follow her. However, this time, it was extremely unusual. Just as Huo Yueshan was about to leave, Xie Yiran caught up with Huo Yueshan. Then, she held Huo Yueshan¡¯s arm and said with a smile, ¡°Mom, are you going to pray? Let¡¯s go together.¡± Huo Yueshan looked very surprised when she heard that. She looked at Xie Yiran with a strange look in her eyes. ¡°Why have you been acting so strange lately? ¡°You were not interested in these things before and you were reluctant when I dragged you along. Why are you taking the initiative to go with me now?¡± Xie Yiran stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because it¡¯s a little boring to stay at home? Take me with you.¡± Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Yiran helplessly and said, ¡°But you mustn¡¯t be mischievous in front of Buddha¡¯s Holy Land and you must always follow me, understand?¡± Xie Yiran quickly nodded and said, ¡°I understand, I understand. I promise you that I will always be behind you.¡± Huo Yueshan saw that Xie Yiran had said so, and then she felt relieved and took Xie Yiran with her. Along the way, Ye Qingqing and her mother also talked to each other. As for Huo Yueshan, she was also talking to Ye Qingqing¡¯s mother with a smile. Although Ye Qingqing¡¯s mother was a servant in the house, because of her good temper, she was liked by Huo Yueshan. In addition, she also worshipped Buddha like Huo Yueshan, so Huo Yueshan would usually go with her when she went out to burn incense and pray to Buddha. As Ye Qingqing was a quiet person, as long as her mother asked her to go, she would go with her. This was somewhat different from Xie Yiran. However, she did not expect Xie Yiran to go with her this time. Not only Huo Yueshan was surprised at first, but even Ye Qingqing felt the same. Xie Yiran had no interest in these things before. She only heard that it was more spiritual to burn incense and embrace Buddha in this place, so there were a lot of pilgrims here. In addition, in her previous life, there seemed to be a very powerful master nearby? Although he was called a master, Xie Yiran had never seen this person¡¯s appearance. She only heard that this person seemed to have learned the five elements of the I Ching from a young age. It was not an exaggeration to say that he knew astronomy and geography. However, Xie Yiran never believed in these things. After all, in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes, these things were just feudal superstitions. Along the way, Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Speaking of which, you¡¯ve grown up. I don¡¯t want anything else from you. I only hope that you¡¯ll be happy and healthy. When the time comes, we¡¯ll go and figure out your marriage. ¡°No matter what, I hope that you can find a good man and live a happy life in the future.¡± After hearing these words, Xie Yiran was a little touched. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation If Xie Yiran had heard those words in her previous life, she would have said that Huo Yueshan was superstitious. These things that depended on fate and marriage were useless. However, Xie Yiran was different now. From Huo Yueshan¡¯s words, Xie Yiran could tell that Huo Yueshan cared for her. All she wanted was for her to find a good man to marry and live a happy life in the future. However, Huo Yueshan did not know that in her previous life, because of her engagement with Luo Guanyu, Xie Yiran fell in love with Luo Guanyu and ended up like that. Therefore, when she heard this, Xie Yiran shook her head and said without hesitation, ¡°Mom, please don¡¯t say that.. I have never thought of having a partner, let alone getting married. ¡°It¡¯s already the 21st century. I think women can live well without getting married. No one can guarantee who they will meet and what will happen after they get married. ¡°Besides, my brother would get married first. How old am I even? It¡¯s really too early for you to tell me this.¡± Huo Yueshan rolled her eyes at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°You¡¯re still so young. Why didn¡¯t I realize that you¡¯re already so mature? ¡°What do you mean by not getting married? Who will take care of you when you get old? What if you get sick? After all, you¡¯re almost 18 now. If it were in ancient times, you would probably have a child already.¡± Xie Yiran pouted and looked at Huo Yueshan, saying, ¡°Isn¡¯t it not the ancient times anymore? Anyway, I just don¡¯t want to get married. People¡¯s hearts are different. No one knows what those people who treat you well are thinking behind the scenes.¡± After saying this, Xie Yiran saw Huo Yueshan¡¯s expression change slightly. She quickly changed her tone and said with a smile, ¡°Anyway, aren¡¯t we here to burn incense and pray to Buddha today? Let¡¯s not talk about this nonsense anymore.¡± ¡°I¡¯m still young. The rest can wait until the future. What do you think, mom?¡± Huo Yueshan saw Xie Yiran¡¯s coquettish look and felt a little helpless in her heart. In the end, she shook her head and did not say anything else. After arriving at the temple, Xie Yiran saw that this place was filled with people. The way the smoke lingered made Xie Yiran, who had never been to such a place before, feel a sense of reverence in her heart. At this moment, Xie Yiran finally understood why Huo Yueshan believed in Buddhism so much. However, even so, there was still no way to arouse Xie Yiran¡¯s interest. Hence, while Huo Yueshan and the others were reciting scriptures, Xie Yiran brought Ye Qingqing out and walked around the place. It was as if she had forgotten what she had told Huo Yueshan back then. She had been following Huo Yueshan closely ever since she came here, and would definitely not run around or anything like that. However, Xie Yiran did not care at all. After all, the person living in this body was still an adult. It would be strange if Xie Yiran could still lose her. Thus, Ye Qingqing and Xie Yiran strolled around here. Looking at the scenery here, Xie Yiran felt that her mood was somewhat relaxed. However, this feeling did not last long. When Ye Qingqing and Xie Yiran arrived at a forest, they were about to go up and rest for a while. However, when they saw the person sitting beside the stool, Xie Yiran¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly. Xie Yiran did not expect that even if she came to pray to Buddha, she would still be able to meet Luo Guanyu. She had clearly tried her best to avoid Luo Guanyu, but she did not expect to meet Luo Guanyu here. Xie Yiran wanted to ask the heavens if they were playing with her! Seeing Luo Guanyu¡¯s face, Xie Yiran¡¯s good mood was instantly broken. Xie Yiran¡¯s face darkened slightly. She pulled Ye Qingqing to the side and was about to leave, but she was a step too late and was already seen by Luo Guanyu. Luo Guanyu¡¯s mocking voice came as he said, ¡°I did not expect you to be so afraid of me, Miss Xie. What do you think I am? A wolf, tiger, or leopard that you have to turn around and leave when you see me?¡± Xie Yiran stopped in her tracks and cursed silently in her heart. It was not just about the wolf, tiger, or leopard but Luo Guanyu was clearly a more terrifying existence than the wolf! Chapter 20 - What a Coincidence Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Just as Xie Yiran was about to leave, Luo Guanyu¡¯s voice came from behind her again, ¡°What? Did I guess right? Miss Xie, you seem to be very afraid of me?¡± Ye Qingqing frowned at Xie Yiran and said carefully, ¡°Ran Ran, who is this guy?¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s nails almost penetrated her flesh, but after hearing Luo Guanyu¡¯s words, she took a deep breath and turned to look at Luo Guanyu with a cold expression. Xie Yiran looked at Luo Guanyu and said indifferently, ¡°Afraid of you? Why should I be afraid of you? I just don¡¯t want to have any contact with you, Young Master Luo.¡± Luo Guanyu frowned slightly. Xie Yiran¡¯s words made him a little dissatisfied. Although Luo Guanyu did not understand what he had done to offend Xie Yiran, she was still inexplicably hostile toward toward him and he was indeed a little unhappy. ¡°Hehe, but it seems like the heavens didn¡¯t go as planned. Miss Xie, although you don¡¯t want to have any contact with me, you just had to meet me here. Do you think this is our fate?¡± Luo Guanyu looked at Xie Yiran and said with a faint smile. Xie Yiran saw the look in Luo Guanyu¡¯s eyes and understood that this guy was deliberately saying these words to disgust her. As long as Xie Yiran overreacted, Luo Guanyu would become more and more enthusiastic.. What so-called fate? Xie Yiran felt that this was simply a bad fate! Xie Yiran put on a cold face and said with a fake smile, ¡°What fate? It¡¯s really a bit far-fetched to say this. It¡¯s probably because uncle and aunt believe more in Buddhism like my mother. ¡°We¡¯ve been out for long enough. I think my mother and the others will be anxious if they can¡¯t find us. I¡¯ll leave now. Young Master Luo, you can take your time and rest here.¡± After saying that, Xie Yiran ignored Luo Guanyu and turned around to leave. Otherwise, if she continued to look at Luo Guanyu¡¯s hypocritical face, Xie Yiran would really lose control of her hatred. ¡°You¡¯re leaving just like that?¡± Unexpectedly, Luo Guanyu, who was behind her, stood up quickly and stood in front of Xie Yiran. When Xie Yiran lowered her head to look at the pair of sports shoes in front of her, a trace of unnoticeable irritation appeared in her eyes. However, the moment she raised her head, this irritation was once again suppressed by Xie Yiran. Xie Yiran looked at Luo Guanyu in front of her and said with a smile, ¡°Why? Is Young Master Luo bored here by himself? Do you want us to talk to you here?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it. It¡¯s just that from the way you guys looked just now, it¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re tired from walking. There are more pilgrims here, and there are even fewer empty seats.¡± Luo Guanyu¡¯s tone paused. Then, he looked to the side and casually said, ¡°Since you guys are already here, it¡¯s not too late to sit here and rest for a while. Then, you can go back.¡± Xie Yiran raised her eyebrows and looked at Luo Guanyu. Luo Guanyu¡¯s words really made Xie Yiran a little confused. What the h*ll was wrong with Luo Guanyu to actually let them rest here for a while? This did not seem like Luo Guanyu¡¯s usual style. Or was he planning something? Xie Yiran had no choice. Luo Guanyu had left a deep impression on her in her previous life. Seeing Luo Guanyu like this, it was hard for Xie Yiran not to guess if he was plotting against her. Just as Xie Yiran was about to refuse, she heard a familiar voice. There was a hint of excitement mixed in the voice. ¡°Ran Ran, why are you here too? What a coincidence!¡± Following the voice, she saw Luo Yongyi who came here to look for Luo Guanyu. The moment she saw Luo Yongyi, Xie Yiran felt a headache. Ye Qingqing quietly stayed behind Xie Yiran. Whether it was Luo Guanyu or Luo Yongyi, Ye Qingqing was not familiar with them. She was an introvert, so when she saw strangers, she could not say a word. Of course, Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi did not care. After all, their attention was on Xie Yiran. ¡°Ran Ran, are you also here to worship Buddha?¡± Luo Yongyi went up to Xie Yiran and said with a smile. He even wanted to put his arms around Xie Yiran¡¯s shoulders, but was stopped by Xie Yiran¡¯s glance. Xie Yiran said indifferently, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here to worship Buddha with my mother.¡± She wanted to relax but she did not expect to meet these two great Buddhas not long after¡­ Chapter 21 - Left Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Is that so? So was I. I didn¡¯t want to come at first, but I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here as well. It seems like I made the right choice coming here!¡± Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran with a smile, his eyes sizing up Xie Yiran and Ye Qingqing. Xie Yiran knew what Luo Yongyi meant. After all, Ye Qingqing came with her. No matter what, she should introduce her to them. However, Xie Yiran did not want to because she did not want to have anything to do with Luo Yongyi or Luo Guanyu, so there was no need to introduce Ye Qingqing to them. Luo Yongyi saw that Xie Yiran did not want to introduce her, so he did not care. He just looked at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°I originally came here to look for my brother, but I did not expect to meet you guys here. ¡°You guys are¡­.¡± Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran and Luo Guanyu with a trace of doubt in his eyes. Before Luo Guanyu spoke, Xie Yiran quickly said, ¡°We just met and wanted to come here to rest, but we didn¡¯t expect to see Young Master Luo. ¡°We¡¯re planning to leave now. Since you came to look for him, we won¡¯t disturb you.¡± In just a few moments, Xie Yiran had completely abandoned him and Luo Guanyu. Luo Guanyu¡¯s eyes flashed with an unnoticeable dissatisfaction when he heard these words. Xie Yiran gave Luo Guanyu the feeling that she did not want to have anything to do with him at all. Even when Luo Yongyi casually asked, Xie Yiran anxiously dropped the topic between the two of them, and this kind of experience was something that Luo Guanyu had never experienced before. Therefore, for a moment, Luo Guanyu felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. However, Luo Guanyu himself did not know why he was so unhappy. However, if he said anything, it would seem like Luo Guanyu was eager to have something to do with Xie Yiran. With his proud personality, he naturally would not allow others to misunderstand him. Therefore, after Xie Yiran said those words, Luo Guanyu nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. We did just meet. Miss Xie is planning to go back.¡± ¡°Ah? Ran Ran, are you leaving just like that? I just met you. You should talk to me more here.¡± Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran pitifully, and it felt like a puppy waiting for its master. Ye Qingqing found it funny, but she held it in. However, in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes, this was a problem. Xie Yiran did not know what was going on. She felt that Luo Yongyi was not as ignorant as he looked on the surface. At least, he was not that simple. Xie Yiran looked down at Luo Yongyi and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. We¡¯ve been out for a long time. I think my mom has finished with them. If we don¡¯t go back now, they might scold us.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. Then you should go back now. After all, I don¡¯t want you to be scolded. If you have time, I¡¯ll take you out to play!¡± Luo Yongyi waved his hand and said. It seemed like he was really worried that Xie Yiran would be reprimanded by Huo Yueshan because she had stayed here for a long time. Xie Yiran did not respond to Luo Yongyi¡¯s words. She just smiled indifferently, then turned around and left with Ye Qingqing. Little did he know that Xie Yiran¡¯s attitude caused Luo Guanyu¡¯s eyes to be a little cold. Luo Guanyu could really see that Xie Yiran had never been as aggressive toward Luo Yongyi as she was toward him. This made Luo Guanyu feel a little disappointed, but he forcefully suppressed this feeling. Looking at Xie Yiran and Ye Qingqing leaving, Luo Guanyu even thought that the two of them were some kind of terrifying existence, causing Xie Yiran to leave in such a hurry. It was as if she could not bear to stay with them for even a second longer. Of course, Luo Guanyu had a feeling that it was not because she did not want to stay with them, but because she did not want to stay with him by herself. Looking at Xie Yiran¡¯s back, Luo Yongyi looked at Luo Guanyu and said with a smile, ¡°Brother, I think that compared to other girls, Ran Ran is really interesting and cute. What do you think?¡± ¡°Hm¡­¡± Luo Guanyu nodded and said indifferently. He looked at Xie Yiran¡¯s back with a gloomy gaze. Chapter 22 - Marriage Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On the way back, Ye Qingqing looked at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°Ran Ran, who were the two people you spoke to just now? I¡¯ve never seen them before. Oh, right, one of them looks like the guy you saved back then.¡± Ye Qingqing looked at Xie Yiran¡¯s expression. She did not know why, but she felt that Xie Yiran¡¯s mood became extremely bad when she saw Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi. No, it was not because she saw Luo Yongyi. It was mainly because her mood became very bad after she saw Luo Guanyu and Ye Qingqing did not know what the reason was. Xie Yiran nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. The person who came later was indeed the guy I saved. As for the person I saw at the beginning, his name was Luo Guanyu. He was Luo Yongyi¡¯s half-brother.¡± Ye Qingqing looked at Xie Yiran in surprise and said, ¡°I see. But why do I feel like when you see them, your mood seems to become so bad? How do you know them so well?¡± . Xie Yiran fell silent after hearing these words. How could she not understand? After all, Xie Yiran had spent so much time with Luo Guanyu in her previous life. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xie Yiran put away the emotions in her eyes and shook her head with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s because after I saved Luo Yongyi, my parents went back and scolded me, so I got angry when I saw them.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s because Madam and the others are worried about you.¡± Ye Qingqing naively thought that Xie Yiran was really unhappy about this matter, so she kindly comforted her. Xie Yiran nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I know. It¡¯s getting late. My mom and the others have probably finished chanting. Let¡¯s go back quickly. Otherwise, if they can¡¯t find us, they¡¯ll probably be angry.¡± ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go back quickly. Otherwise, my mom will definitely scold me when we go back too.¡± Ye Qingqing quickly nodded and quickened her pace. When the two of them came back, Huo Yueshan and the others came out just in time. Ye Qingqing looked at Xie Yiran and smiled happily. Xie Yiran looked at Huo Yueshan and the others who were walking toward her. Then, she walked up and pretended to be innocent. She smiled and said, ¡°Mom, you guys are finally done. We¡¯ve been waiting for a long time.¡± Huo Yueshan saw Xie Yiran¡¯s expression and nodded at her. She said, ¡°You¡¯re such a smart girl. How would I not know what you are like? It would be really weird if you waited here obediently.¡± As expected, a mother knows her daughter best. Xie Yiran just smiled and did not say anything. It could be considered that she tacitly agreed with Huo Yueshan¡¯s words. Huo Yueshan saw that Xie Yiran and the others were still quite sensible. She knew that she would come back before she finished reciting the scriptures, so she did not bother with them anymore. Xie Yiran looked at Huo Yueshan and said, ¡°Mom, do you have anything to do later? When are we going back?¡± Xie Yiran actually did not want to stay in this place. It was mainly because she knew that Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi were here now. If Huo Yueshan met Lin Youwan later, she might even meet Luo Guanyu and Lin Youwan. Xie Yiran really did not want to even look at Luo Guanyu. Huo Yueshan just thought that Xie Yiran was a child and did not want to stay here for too long. Therefore, she smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost done. Wait a little longer. It won¡¯t be long before we can go back. ¡°But before we go back, I will take you to the temple to ask for marriage. It is said that there is a master there. His calculations are very accurate. When we go there, we will see if we can line up.¡± Xie Yiran felt a little helpless after hearing these words. After all, she had no interest in such things. Moreover, she did not think that they could calculate those things accurately. Could it be that the master could calculate that she was actually a reincarnated person? How was that possible? At the very least, Xie Yiran did not believe it. However, Xie Yiran could not just pull Huo Yueshan away like this. Otherwise, it would appear that something was wrong with her behavior. Also, Xie Yiran also understood that these things were extremely sacred to Huo Yueshan. If Xie Yiran insisted on leaving, Huo Yueshan would most likely be angry. Therefore, Xie Yiran could only follow Huo Yueshan¡¯s wishes. Chapter 23 - Impossible Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When it came to marriage, Huo Yueshan would definitely ask if Xie Yiran was currently in love with someone. In addition, she knew that Lin Youwan wanted to set up Luo Yongyi and Xie Yiran. Luo Guanyu was actually engaged to Xie Yiran. For a moment, Huo Yueshan also wanted to ask who Xie Yiran was in love with. ¡°Of course.¡± Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°Do you have a boy that you like now? Speaking of the two young masters you saw at the Luo family, who do you think is better?¡± Xie Yiran understood what Huo Yueshan wanted to say after she heard her question. For a moment, she felt very helpless and quickly said, ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t have any impression of them. I don¡¯t have anyone that I like now. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you when I came here? I just want to be with you guys and not think about these things. It¡¯s still too early for me.¡± . Huo Yueshan smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s still too early. You¡¯re already 18 years old and you don¡¯t have a partner yet. I already had your brother when I was your age. ¡°Besides, Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi do look good to me. You¡¯ve seen them before. Don¡¯t you have a good impression of them?¡± Huo Yueshan still thought that her daughter was shy, so she continued, ¡°I¡¯ve been there before. You don¡¯t have to be shy. If there¡¯s anything, just tell me, okay?¡± Xie Yiran frowned and said seriously, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m serious. I really don¡¯t like them. I don¡¯t even have any impression of them. ¡°In short, no matter who it is, it¡¯s impossible between them and me. Mom, don¡¯t think like that. It¡¯s not because I¡¯m shy.¡± Xie Yiran even felt that it was not good for her and the Xie family to have a relationship with the Luo family. She wanted Xie Honghou to separate the company from the Luo family as soon as possible. With that, she could feel more at ease. Of course, Xie Yiran did not say these words in front of Huo Yueshan. Otherwise, Huo Yueshan would definitely be surprised. After all, Xie Yiran was not eighteen yet. How could she think so much? Huo Yueshan did not expect Xie Yiran to really have no interest in Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi. Moreover, looking at Xie Yiran¡¯s serious look, it did not seem like she was being shy. For a moment, she was also a little surprised. Lin Youwan had always wanted to set up Luo Yongyi and Xie Yiran, and Xie Yiran and Luo Guanyu still had a marriage contract. This kind of relationship really made Huo Yueshan feel a little headache. However, Huo Yueshan¡¯s idea was to see what Xie Yiran would do. If Xie Yiran liked someone, she would let Xie Yiran be with someone. However, she did not expect Xie Yiran to have no interest in Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi. Huo Yueshan was silent for a while before she said, ¡°Alright, since you think so, I will try my best to decline when Lin Youwan asks us to meet in the future.¡± Although that was what she said, Huo Yueshan knew that it was okay to decline once or twice, but it was definitely not okay to decline all the time. Of course, Huo Yueshan also felt that the reason why Xie Yiran had such thoughts was definitely because Xie Yiran had not spent much time with Luo Guanyu or Luo Yongyi. If she had spent more time with them, she would definitely change her mind. However, no matter what, Huo Yueshan would respect Xie Yiran¡¯s opinion and thoughts. If Xie Yiran still did not want to have anything to do with Luo Guanyu or Luo Yongyi, then Huo Yueshan would not force her. However, seeing that Xie Yiran did not seem to want to talk about this matter, Huo Yueshan stopped talking. This made Xie Yiran let out a sigh of relief. Huo Yueshan did not understand what she had experienced before, so she wanted to set her up with Luo Guanyu just like before. However, Xie Yiran, who had experienced hurt once, would not give Luo Guanyu the chance to hurt her anymore. No matter what, it was impossible. From the moment Xie Yiran was reborn, it was already destined that there would be no future between her and Luo Guanyu. Chapter 24 - Handsome Young Man Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Yiran followed Huo Yueshan to a slightly more secluded courtyard after paying her respects to Buddha. When she arrived there, she saw that the area was filled with people. According to Huo Yueshan, this place was where the master was. It was likely that the people standing here were here to let the master do predictions for them. However, Xie Yiran did not trust this so-called master at all. In addition, there were so many people here, so who knew how long it would take to line up here? Therefore, Xie Yiran turned to look at Huo Yueshan who was beside her. She smiled and said, ¡°Mom, there are so many people here. You might not be able to beat them here. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Huo Yueshan originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to properly calculate for Xie Yiran. However, she did not expect that there would be so many people here.. Therefore, she sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Sigh, it looks like we can only wait until next time. In that case, let¡¯s go back.¡± Hearing that Huo Yueshan agreeing to go back, Xie Yiran finally smiled. She looked at Huo Yueshan and gently nodded Xie Yiran¡¯s head. Xie Yiran looked at Huo Yueshan and said, ¡°I think these are all lies. I¡¯m not sure if my calculations are accurate or not. However, since mom believes in these things so much, I¡¯ll come with you again when I¡¯m free in the future.¡± Huo Yueshan nodded in satisfaction when she heard Xie Yiran¡¯s words. Now, Xie Yiran¡¯s wish was finally fulfilled and she could leave immediately. Before she left, things went rather smoothly. At least, she did not see Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi again. It was not until she got into the car that Xie Yiran finally let out a sigh of relief. Although it was not that Xie Yiran could not interact with Luo Guanyu or Lin Youwan, it was just that Xie Yiran was indeed unwilling to do such things. If she had the time, Xie Yiran would rather be alone, or accompany her parents. She did not want to put in the effort to be on guard against Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi. Thinking about these things, Xie Yiran felt a headache coming on. However, just as they were about to leave, Huo Yueshan and Ye Qingqing¡¯s mother suddenly remembered that they still had an urgent matter to attend to, so they told Ye Qingqing and Xie Yiran to wait by the door. Xie Yiran frowned slightly when she thought that she would come out as soon as she settled these matters, but she could not say anything. Hence, she could only stand at the door with Ye Qingqing. There were indeed many people coming and going, so Xie Yiran pulled Ye Qingqing to a place where there were fewer people. She did not expect to bump into a man who looked a little flustered at this time. His clothes looked a little worn, but his face was unusually handsome. ¡°Hey, why are you¡­¡± Seeing that Xie Yiran was almost knocked to the ground, Ye Qingqing was also displeased. She started to scold the man in front of him, but she stopped halfway. Xie Yiran saw Ye Qingqing¡¯s eyes and subconsciously looked at the man. Then, a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes. It seemed that Ye Qingqing was mesmerized by his beauty. To be honest, Xie Yiran had always thought that Luo Guanyu was very handsome. In her previous life, she had even been mesmerized by Luo Guanyu¡¯s appearance several times. There was nothing she could do. Xie Yiran was also a beauty lover. Even when she saw Luo Guanyu¡¯s handsome face just now, she would occasionally lose her focus. It was only because she knew what a bastard this guy would be in the future, that was why she was not attracted by his looks. The man before her looked like he was on par with Luo Guanyu. If he were to dress up, he would definitely attract to thousands of young girls. However, looking at this man¡¯s appearance, he seemed to have encountered some difficulties? Looking at Ye Qingqing¡¯s blushing face, Xie Yiran felt that she could help Ye Qingqing. Although she did not know what this person¡¯s identity was, her current appearance could still tell that his identity was not ordinary. At the very least, she could let Ye Qingqing come into contact with him in the future. Hence, she stepped forward to stop the man and said with a smile, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you need help?¡± Chapter 25 - Fate Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When the man heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at the woman in front of him. Although this person looked young and tender, for some reason, his eyes revealed a hint of maturity. Subconsciously, he stopped and looked at the men in black who were chasing him. He frowned and said, ¡°Help me get rid of them.¡± Xie Yiran looked behind him and saw a few men in suits looking for something. It seemed like they were looking for the man in front of her. Ye Qingqing¡¯s eyes showed a trace of panic. After all, at her age, this was probably the first time she had seen something like this. She was subconsciously worried that the man in front of her had done something illegal. However, Xie Yiran did not think so. Although she did not know what the reason was, Xie Yiran still felt that the man in front of her was not a bad person. . After the man saw Ye Qingqing¡¯s eyes, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes. Whether she would help or not, everyone would say it nicely, but in the end, what they said and what they did were not the same thing. Therefore, he also planned to leave, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly felt his wrist being grabbed by someone. The next second, he heard Xie Yiran¡¯s voice. ¡°Why are you running? Come with me, I¡¯ll help you shake them off.¡± As she spoke, she led him to a remote corner. This surprised the man. After all, he did not expect Xie Yiran to be so bold. He thought that Xie Yiran would have the same reaction as Ye Qingqing. After all, everyone subconsciously did not want to cause too much trouble for themselves. The three of them hid in a corner. It was not until the men in black left that the man¡¯s tensed body relaxed slightly. As the three of them were relatively close, Xie Yiran and Ye Qingqing could clearly see the man¡¯s appearance. One had to say, it was indeed tempting. It was especially so for Ye Qingqing as a trace of blush appeared on her face as she hurriedly lowered her head. The man looked at Xie Yiran in front of him and nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± Xie Yiran subconsciously glanced at Ye Qingqing beside her. Seeing that Ye Qingqing had only lowered her head and did not speak, she felt a little helpless in her heart. This girl was somewhat useless. Especially when she saw the man¡¯s smile, she was so shy that her neck turned red. Xie Yiran was troubled for a moment. If Ye Qingqing had always been this introverted, when would she be able to take this man down? Xie Yiran coughed twice and looked at the man with a smile. ¡°What¡¯s your name? What happened just now? Why did they chase you?¡± ¡°You can just call me Ye Shuo. I can¡¯t say much about what happened just now, but I won¡¯t forget that you helped me. What¡¯s your Name? I¡¯ll repay you in the future.¡± Ye Shuo looked at Xie Yiran in front of him, and there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes. Seeing that Ye Shuo did not tell them why he was chased, Xie Yiran did not care. After all, this matter was not very important to them. The reason why they were willing to help Ye Shuo was simply because they liked him. In addition, Xie Yiran did not really want to tell him her identity and name. After all, Xie Yiran was only doing these things in passing. Compared to saving Luo Yongyi back then, helping Ye Shuo avoid those black-clothed men like this was really nothing. However, thinking that this was probably related to Ye Qingqing¡¯s happy life, she nodded and smiled. ¡°My name is Xie Yiran. Actually, you don¡¯t need to take these things to heart, but I welcome you to come find me in the future.¡± Xie Yiran silently glanced at Ye Qingqing who had not spoken all this while. She felt that she had really given up a lot for Ye Qingqing¡¯s happy life. Ye Shuo silently repeated Xie Yiran¡¯s name a few times in his heart. Then, he looked at Ye Qingqing and Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll remember it. When there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯ll definitely look for you. ¡°But now I can¡¯t stay here any longer, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Yiran nodded. They were going back to look for Huo Yueshan. Even if this guy wanted to stay here for a long time, Xie Yiran would not stay here for too long. Thus, Ye Shuo left just like that. Before he left, he even took a deep look at Xie Yiran. The look in his eyes made Xie Yiran a little confused, even though her body and soul were already in their twenties. Chapter 26 - Xie Xianyue Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Ye Shuo left, Ye Qingqing pulled on Xie Yiran¡¯s clothes and said with a red face, ¡°Ran Ran, isn¡¯t it bad for you to help him like this?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xie Yiran looked at Ye Qingqing who was red with laughter. ¡°Don¡¯t you want me to help him?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it¡­¡± Ye Qingqing shook her head and frowned. ¡°But I saw those people chasing him just now. They look quite scary. Will they bring you any trouble?¡± Xie Yiran waved her hand and said nonchalantly, ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s nothing to me anyway. Besides, there are no cameras here. Who knows if we helped him? ¡°In addition, Ye Shuo¡¯s looks are really tempting.. If you helped him, so be it. It doesn¡¯t matter. Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s handsome?¡± As soon as she said that, Ye Qingqing¡¯s face turned red again, which made Xie Yiran laugh out loud. ¡°Ran Ran, don¡¯t tease me!¡± Ye Qingqing hurriedly covered her little face and glared at Xie Yiran in embarrassment. Xie Yiran shook her head with a smile and said, ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s go back quickly. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to find them later.¡± Ye Qingqing did not have any objections. Fortunately, they did not walk far and arrived at the door in a few minutes. At this time, Huo Yueshan and Ye Qingqing¡¯s mother were already standing at the door. When they saw Ye Qingqing and Xie Yiran, Huo Yueshan also smiled and said, ¡°Where did you two girls go?¡± ¡°We just came out and didn¡¯t see you guys. We wanted to look for you guys. Don¡¯t run around in the future, okay?¡± Xie Yiran looked at Huo Yueshan and said, ¡°Mom, we didn¡¯t run around. We were just standing in the corner. There were probably a lot of people here and you guys didn¡¯t see us but when you guys came out, didn¡¯t we come over?¡± Xie Yiran explained before Ye Qingqing could say anything. Otherwise, based on Xie Yiran¡¯s understanding of Ye Qingqing, she would definitely tell Huo Yueshan and the others about the incident that had just happened. When the time came, Huo Yueshan and the others might blame her if they found out, so they might as well just skip this matter. Huo Yueshan nodded and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back quickly. Otherwise, you¡¯ll probably jump up in a hurry.¡± Xie Yiran was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on her face. She went forward and held Huo Yueshan¡¯s arm, and said with a smile, ¡°I knew it. Mom, you love me the most.¡± Indeed, if it was Xie Yiran¡¯s personality before, she would definitely be anxious to leave this place immediately. However, now, it was different. Xie Yiran¡¯s personality had become much more stable. Even if Huo Yueshan still had to go and do something, Xie Yiran did not mind. The only thing that made Xie Yiran want to leave immediately was knowing that there were only Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi in this place. Hence, the few of them got into a car and planned to leave this place. Xie Yiran let out a sigh of relief. Just when Xie Yiran thought that things would develop smoothly like this and that she would not have to worry about running into Luo Guanyu or Lin Youwan here again, something unexpected happened. It was true that Xie Yiran did not see Luo Guanyu and Lin Youwan, but she saw another person that Xie Yiran hated to the core, Xie Xianyue! When Xie Yiran and Huo Yueshan returned home happily, they suddenly saw an additional person in the house. This person¡¯s figure and back view were exactly the same as Xie Xianyue¡¯s appearance in their memories! In her previous life, Xie Xianyue had brought such heavy damage to Xie Yiran. No matter what, Xie Yiran would never forget Xie Xianyue. She remembered that Xie Yiran had previously asked the people in the house if there were any new servants, but she did not expect Xie Xianyue to come here in the blink of an eye! It seemed that Xie Xianyue had already taken up a post here. This made Xie Yiran¡¯s heart boil with anger. She had always wanted to stop this matter, but in the end, she found out that Xie Xianyue still successfully came to their house. However, Xie Xianyue had not been adopted by Huo Yueshan yet. At the thought of this, Xie Yiran looked at Xie Xianyue with a hint of killing intent. She hurriedly pulled Huo Yueshan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Mom, let¡¯s go back quickly.¡± Xie Yiran was unwilling to let Huo Yueshan meet Xie Xianyue. That way, when the time came, she could just ask the housekeeper to kick Xie Xianyue out. Chapter 27 - Pretending to be Pitiful Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation However, things did not go as planned. The sudden appearance of another person in the house still caught Huo Yueshan¡¯s attention. Huo Yueshan waved her hand and looked at Xie Xianyue in the courtyard. She frowned and said, ¡°Are you new here?¡± Xie Xianyue turned to look at Huo Yueshan and Xie Yiran after hearing these words. Looking at Xie Xianyue¡¯s innocent look, Xie Yiran really gnashed her teeth in hatred. This girl really knew how to pretend! In her previous life, she had been fooled by Xie Xianyue into giving up all of her trust. In the end, she ended up like that. According to Xie Xianyue¡¯s last sentence, Huo Yueshan died during childbirth. This matter seemed to have a lot to do with Xie Xianyue! Xie Yiran wanted to rush forward and tear Xie Xianyue¡¯s face into pieces. However, she also knew that now was not the time, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart. Xie Xianyue nodded respectfully and looked at Huo Yueshan with a hint of timidity in her eyes. She said, ¡°Yes..¡± Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Xianyue¡¯s appearance, which was quite iconic. In addition, Xie Xianyue was clearly the same age as Xie Yiran, but she came to her home to work. She was really puzzled. Therefore, she smiled and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be nervous. But shouldn¡¯t you go to school at your age? Why did you come here to work?¡± After hearing Huo Yueshan¡¯s question, Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes instantly turned red. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a pitiful look and she said, ¡°It is due to unforeseen circumstances at home. My parents have passed away. I¡¯m the only one left in the family, so I have to work part-time to study. ¡°It¡¯s just that I really can¡¯t afford the tuition fees right now¡­¡± Xie Xianyue paused and looked at Huo Yueshan as she sobbed. ¡°But madam, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t be affected when I work here. ¡°If it¡¯s really not possible, I¡¯ll quit school and work here. I can wait until I¡¯ve saved enough money to go to school¡­¡± Everyone present felt sympathy for her, but only Xie Yiran looked at Xie Xianyue with a hint of hatred in her eyes. This girl had always been like this, pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy, yet, she was still acting like this. It was really disgusting! Xie Yiran pulled Huo Yueshan¡¯s arm and said with a frown, ¡°Mom, you¡¯ve been wandering around the temple for a long time. You must be tired. You should go and rest first.¡± What Xie Yiran wanted to do now was to send Huo Yueshan away and find an opportunity to chase Xie Xianyue out. However, when Huo Yueshan heard Xie Xianyue¡¯s words, her heart was filled with compassion. She looked at Xie Yiran and shook her head, saying, ¡°It¡¯s okay. This child is too pitiful. We should help her¡­¡± Hearing that, Xie Yiran¡¯s heart was burning with anger. She looked at Xie Xianyue and frowned, saying, ¡°Since you know that you can¡¯t take care of your studies and work at the same time, then you shouldn¡¯t just quit school. Even if you have to work, you should find something easier. ¡°Our family is busy with work. I think you should find another job. That way, you can take care of your work and study.¡± Unexpectedly, Xie Xianyue knelt in front of Xie Yiran and Huo Yueshan when she heard that. She looked at Huo Yueshan and cried, ¡°Madam, miss, please don¡¯t chase me away. I won¡¯t delay the work here.¡± Her appearance was really heartbreaking. However, in a place that no one had seen, Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of viciousness. She had spent a lot of effort to come here. If she was chased out just like that, it would be a great loss! As she spoke, the pendant around Xie Xianyue¡¯s neck was revealed as she knelt down. Xie Yiran¡¯s pupils constricted when she saw the pendant. In her previous life, Huo Yueshan had adopted Xie Xianyue because of the pendant around her neck. When she saw the pendant on Xie Xianyue¡¯s body appear again, Xie Yiran knew that it was not a coincidence. She looked at Huo Yueshan anxiously and said, ¡°Mom, let me handle this. You should go back and rest.¡± However, she was helpless as Huo Yueshan also saw Xie Xianyue¡¯s pendant. Chapter 28 - Let Me Stay Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Huo Yueshan looked at the pendant on Xie Xianyue¡¯s neck, which looked very familiar. She then looked at Xie Xianyue and said with a trembling voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the pendant on your neck? Let me see it.¡± Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of a triumphant smile when she heard this. However, the moment she threw her head back, her expression once again returned to a delicate and pitiful look. There was even a trace of confusion in her eyes. Huo Yueshan stared at Xie Xianyue¡¯s pendant and said in a deep voice, ¡°Come here.¡± When Xie Yiran saw this scene, she knew that the development of the matter was no longer under her control. She immediately gnashed her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. She wished that she could go up and give Xie Xianyue a few big slaps and then tell Huo Yueshan that all of this was actually Xie Xianyue¡¯s act! Xie Xianyue took off the pendant and handed it to Huo Yueshan. Then, she lowered her head and cried, ¡°This was left to me by my mother before she died. When she was alive, I saw that my mother loved this pendant very much. It seems that someone gave it to her.. ¡°Before she died, she gave this pendant to me. She said that she would let it replace her to protect me from now on¡­¡± Huo Yueshan looked at the pendant carefully, and Xie Yiran¡¯s eyebrows twitched. She knew what would happen next. She wanted to stop it, but it seemed that this matter would continue as before. As expected, Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Xianyue and asked excitedly, ¡°What¡¯s your mother¡¯s name?¡± Xie Xianyue looked confused when she heard that. Then, she looked at Huo Yueshan and said, ¡°My mother¡¯s name is Pan Yu.¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Huo Yueshan looked a little sad. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect your mother to be gone¡­¡± Xie Xianyue looked at Huo Yueshan¡¯s surprised look and said, ¡°Do you know my mother?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t just know her. We used to be close. I gave her this thing. Unfortunately, there was a famine back then, so my parents took me away from my hometown. We haven¡¯t seen each other since then.¡± Huo Yueshan¡¯s eyes were a little wet as she spoke. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that when I heard about her again, she was already dead¡­¡± Xie Yiran looked at Huo Yueshan and said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. Since she¡¯s Aunt Pan¡¯s daughter, we can¡¯t treat her unfairly. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, we can¡¯t let her work in our house anymore. Listening to her words, it seems like it is a little difficult for her to study now. Why don¡¯t we subsidize her tuition so that she won¡¯t have to worry about the future? What do you think?¡± Xie Yiran felt that this was the best solution. Huo Yueshan thought that she was being generous. In order to prevent Xie Xianyue from living in her own house in the future, she could only give Xie Xianyue some money to get rid of her. Those words were beautiful. As long as Xie Xianyue really did not have any ill intentions, she should take the money and leave. Huo Yueshan wiped her tears. She felt that what Xie Yiran said made sense. She nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯re right. Since she¡¯s the daughter of an old friend, then she shouldn¡¯t be working in our house. ¡°Child, don¡¯t work here anymore. As for the tuition fees you mentioned, you don¡¯t have to worry. We can subsidize you¡­¡± When Xie Xianyue heard these words, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in a second. She had spent a lot of effort to come here. How could she just take some money and be sent away? Therefore, before Huo Yueshan could finish her words, Xie Xianyue fell to her knees again with a plop. She looked at Huo Yueshan and cried, ¡°Madam, no, Auntie, can I call you that? ¡°Before my mother died, she always told me about you. She also told me that if I saw you one day, I should treat you as her. Now, she has passed away. ¡°I also regret not being able to be filial to her. In that case, I should treat you as her. Please let me stay by your side and respect you! ¡°Yue¡¯er didn¡¯t ask for anything. All she wanted was for me to treat you like her. It can be considered as consoling her mother¡¯s soul in heaven!¡± When Xie Yiran heard this, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. This Xie Xianyue really did not have any good ideas from the start. One had to know that Xie Yiran did not want to give her a single cent. She even wanted to kick her out. However, Xie Xianyue was not satisfied after receiving the money. She actually wanted to stay and live! This was too much! If Xie Yiran did not know what kind of person Xie Xianyue was, she would have been tricked by Xie Xianyue. However, it was impossible now! Chapter 29 - Anger Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Therefore, Xie Yiran immediately said in a deep voice, ¡°What are you saying? My mother has nothing to do with you. Even if she wants to be filial, she should be filial to me. Aren¡¯t you going a little overboard with your words? ¡°If you just want to earn money to finish your studies, I¡¯ve also said that I can support you. Now that you¡¯re like this, why do you want to stay?!¡± Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes widened when she heard that. She looked at Xie Yiran and was stunned for a second. Then, she looked at Huo Yueshan with tears in her eyes and cried, ¡°Madam, I don¡¯t have any other thoughts. ¡°You can believe me. It¡¯s only because mother had been nagging about you to me before she died, saying how good your relationship is. She even told me to treat you like a mother when I see you in the future! ¡°That¡¯s why I had such a thought. In addition, my mother has already passed away. I¡¯m even more sad that I can¡¯t be filial to her. I just want to entrust my feelings for my mother to you!¡± . ¡°Enough!¡± Xie Yiran felt even more disgusted after hearing Xie Xianyue¡¯s words. She immediately wanted to ask someone to kick Xie Xianyue out, but before Xie Yiran could finish her words, she was interrupted by Huo Yueshan. ¡°Ran Ran!¡± Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Yiran and scolded angrily, ¡°What are you doing? Is this how I usually teach you? ¡°Let¡¯s not say that she is the daughter of my old friend. Even if she isn¡¯t, we should try our best to help her when facing a child with her background! ¡°But why do you have to be so aggressive? You even said that she has ulterior motives. If it wasn¡¯t for this coincidence that she met me, this child might still be suffering outside! ¡°Since I¡¯ve already met her, how can I just sit by and do nothing? How can I face my old friend like this?!¡± Seeing Huo Yueshan¡¯s face turn red from anger, the hatred in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes grew even stronger. Xie Xianyue was really a good woman. She was actually so scheming at such a young age. No wonder she had played him in her hands in his previous life! Even though she had not been adopted yet, she could still make Huo Yueshan fly into a rage. She could even berate Xie Yiran in front of everyone. Who knew what would happen in the future?! Xie Yiran could not watch Huo Yueshan, Xie Honghou, and the others develop the same ending as in her previous life. Therefore, she had to think of a way. However, how should she solve this problem? Xie Yiran understood Huo Yueshan. When she saw the look in Huo Yueshan¡¯s eyes, she knew that Huo Yueshan was already thinking of adopting Xie Xianyue, not to mention what Xie Xianyue said just now. It could be said that other than Xie Yiran, no one else was not moved. The reason why Xie Yiran was not moved was because she had already experienced it once and clearly knew what kind of person Xie Xianyue was. At the same time, Xie Yiran could not help but feel that Xie Xianyue was really good at acting. However, it was because of this that Xie Yiran knew that Xie Xianyue could not be kept. Xie Yiran looked at Huo Yueshan with a cold face. Although she knew that her words would definitely cause Huo Yueshan to fly into a rage, there was nothing she could do. She really could not watch Xie Xianyue enter her home! ¡°Mom, I understand what you mean. Of course, I never said that I shouldn¡¯t help her. I also said that if she was willing, she could indeed take a sum of money to complete her studies. ¡°But I really don¡¯t understand why she has to stay in our house like this. You have to tell me that she doesn¡¯t have any bad intentions. I really don¡¯t believe it. ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m the only one who will feel uncomfortable when such a stranger suddenly appears in our house. My father and brother must feel the same way too!¡± Chapter 30 - Adoption Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°How dare you!¡± Huo Yueshan would never get angry like this, but Xie Yiran¡¯s words made Huo Yueshan unable to accept it. ¡°Is that what I taught you before? She¡¯s just a woman your age, not even as old as you. Xie Xianyue¡¯s life is so hard because her parents are gone. ¡°No matter how you look at it, she¡¯s a kind and strong child. Why are you targeting her like this?¡± Xie Yiran looked at Huo Yueshan¡¯s expression and knew that there was nothing she could do to change this ending, but she was not willing to accept it! Huo Yueshan glared at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°Go back to your room and think about it. No one is allowed to bring her dinner without my permission!¡± Ye Qingqing also tugged at Xie Yiran¡¯s sleeve secretly. Huo Yueshan was really angry now. Ye Qingqing said softly, ¡°Ran Ran, don¡¯t argue with Madam. Otherwise, you won¡¯t have a good ending..¡± Xie Yiran felt extremely angry when she heard these words, but at the same time, there was a deep sense of helplessness. She knew that she had already decided that Xie Xianyue would enter the Xie family. She also knew that it was useless to continue talking. On the contrary, it would make Huo Yueshan furious. For a moment, she could only look at Huo Yueshan with red eyes. Then, she angrily went up the stairs and returned to her room. Bang! She slammed the door with a loud bang as if she was in a fit of pique. After returning to her room, Xie Yiran sat on her bed and panted heavily. She clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh. ¡°Xie Xianyue, you¡¯re really good at coaxing my mother to scold me like this. We¡¯ll see. This time, if you dare to do anything unfavorable to my family, I¡¯ll take your life!¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, and she looked extremely ferocious. However, there was nothing she could do. After all, she knew what Xie Xianyue¡¯s arrival would bring to her family. No one would be able to accept it so calmly. Downstairs, Huo Yueshan saw the look in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes before she left. She frowned slightly. She did not know what was wrong with Xie Yiran. After all, if it was before, Xie Yiran would definitely not contradict her over such a matter. Huo Yueshan even knew that Xie Yiran was a kind child. However, she actually resisted Xie Xianyue this time. Could it be that she was worried that Xie Xianyue¡¯s arrival would take away her care and love for her? Huo Yueshan sighed. She was actually quite angry about Xie Yiran¡¯s matter this time. However, no matter what Xie Yiran thought, she really could not watch her good friend¡¯s daughter live such a hard life. Therefore, Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Xianyue and said, ¡°Child, don¡¯t mind her. She wasn¡¯t like this before. She must have been provoked. ¡°From today on, you will stay here. If you are willing, you can call me mother. When your uncle comes back, I will ask him to get you a household registration. From now on, you will be the miss of our Xie family.¡± When Xie Xianyue heard this, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes. The next second, she directly kowtowed to Huo Yueshan and said, ¡°Xianyue thanks you again, Madam. No, thank you, mother!¡± Huo Yueshan went forward and helped Xie Xianyue up. She smiled and said, ¡°From now on, you will be my child. You don¡¯t have to be restrained here, understand?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± A smile appeared on Xie Xianyue¡¯s face. Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Xianyue and said, ¡°Wait until tonight, and I¡¯ll introduce you to your brother and your father.¡± As she spoke, she also asked someone to prepare a room for Xie Xianyue. Thus, Xie Xianyue, who was originally here to work, suddenly became the second miss of the Xie family. Ye Qingqing looked at Xie Xianyue and frowned. For some reason, Ye Qingqing also felt that Xie Yiran was not the kind of person who would be hostile to someone for no reason. Plus, Huo Yueshan agreed too quickly. Ye Qingqing also felt that something was wrong. She frowned and looked at Xie Yiran¡¯s room upstairs. There was a hint of worry in her eyes. Now that Xie Yiran was punished, she might not be able to have dinner tonight. Thinking that these things were all caused by Xie Xianyue, Ye Qingqing also began to hate Xie Xianyue for quite some time. Chapter 31 - Agreed Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation That night, when Xie Honghou and Xie Wenhui returned, they saw a person they had never seen before appear at the dining table. On the contrary, Xie Yiran was nowhere to be seen. Therefore, Xie Wenhui looked at Xie Xianyue, who was sitting next to Huo Yueshan, and asked, ¡°Mom, who is this person next to you?¡± Xie Honghou also looked at Xie Xianyue curiously when he heard that. He also did not understand why Xie Yiran was not by Huo Yueshan¡¯s side. On the contrary, it was a child he had never seen before. Xie Honghou nodded and said, ¡°Where is Yiran? Why didn¡¯t I see her come down to eat?¡± When Xie Yiran was mentioned, the shy smile on Xie Xianyue¡¯s face changed a little, but it only took a few seconds for it to return to normal. Huo Yueshan patted Xie Xianyue¡¯s hand, indicating that there was no need for Xie Xianyue to be nervous. Then, she looked at Xie Wenhui and Xie Honghou and said, ¡°I wanted to tell you about this. This child is the daughter of a good friend of mine. I just happened to see her today.. ¡°This child¡¯s background is really pitiful. My poor friend has passed away. I thought that this child still has to work hard to study and it¡¯s really hard. ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s not a big deal for our family to have an extra pair of chopsticks. I just wanted to adopt her and change her name to Xie Xianyue. From now on, she will be the second miss of our Xie family.¡± Huo Yueshan paused when she said this. She deliberately glanced at Xie Honghou and Xie Wenhui. When she saw that the two of them were only a little surprised, but did not show any signs of resistance, so she continued, ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect that after she heard my decision, she was very dissatisfied. She even contradicted me time and time again. She even said that Yue¡¯er, this child, has a bad heart and came to our family with ulterior motives. This child is obviously so pitiful and she¡¯s only just a child. How could she have such schemes? ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the chance encounter this time, perhaps she would still be living a hard life outside.¡± Hearing this, Xie Wenhui frowned and said, ¡°You said that Ran Ran contradicted you because of this?¡± ¡°Yes, so I let her reflect on herself in the room. Without my permission, no one is allowed to call her down to eat,¡± Huo Yueshan nodded and said. When Xie Yiran was mentioned, Huo Yueshan also felt a wave of distress. Although she did not understand why Xie Yiran would have such a reaction, Xie Yiran¡¯s behavior in the afternoon really made Huo Yueshan extremely angry. After Xie Wenhui and Xie Honghou heard Huo Yueshan¡¯s words, they also felt a wave of surprise. After all, in their impression, Xie Yiran did not seem to be going against Huo Yueshan because of this kind of thing. In addition, why did Xie Yiran insist that Xie Xianyue¡¯s motives were impure? Xie Wenhui frowned and looked at Xie Xianyue. Although he did not say anything, when he heard that Huo Yueshan wanted to adopt Xie Xianyue, Xie Wenhui actually resisted in his heart. After all, he was already so old now. It would be difficult for anyone to adapt to the sudden appearance of a stranger. Furthermore, Xie Yiran could still be reprimanded by Huo Yueshan because of these things. After he left, what if Xie Yiran was bullied by this new Xie Xianyue? For a moment, Xie Wenhui was also a little worried. However, Huo Yueshan seemed to not understand at all. She looked at Xie Honghou and said, ¡°From now on, she will be the second daughter of the Xie family. You guys don¡¯t have any objections to this, right?¡± Xie Wenhui frowned and looked at Huo Yueshan. He did not say anything. Even if he had objections, he could not say anything. After all, Huo Yueshan looked like she had already decided on this matter. If they had any objections, they believed that the end result would be the same as the current Xie Yiran. Moreover, Xie Honghou and Xie Wenhui were men. They really had no way to criticize Xie Xianyue. Therefore, they could only nod and agree to Huo Yueshan¡¯s words. Thus, Xie Xianyue¡¯s identity as the second daughter of the Xie family was officially established. Although Xie Yiran still tried her best to stop it, she was powerless against such an outcome. Since she could not stop Xie Xianyue from entering the house, she could only stop her from scheming against them in the future. Chapter 32 - Persuasion Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After dinner, Xie Xianyue officially met Xie Wenhui and Xie Honghou. Huo Yueshan took Xie Xianyue to her new room. Xie Wenhui also came to Xie Yiran¡¯s room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xie Yiran sitting on the bed. Xie Wenhui sighed. He knew that Xie Yiran was angry now. He went up to Xie Yiran and said, ¡°Ran Ran, you don¡¯t have to be so angry with mom because of such a thing. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen you talk back to her like this. That¡¯s why I¡¯m so angry. Haven¡¯t I always been on your side before?¡± At the same time, Xie Wenhui did not understand why his sister, who had always been easy-going, would suddenly be so hostile toward such a woman. ¡°Also, Ran Ran, I don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re so hostile toward her?¡± . Xie Yiran turned to look at Xie Wenhui and said seriously, ¡°Brother, let me tell you the truth. There is a reason why I am hostile toward her. ¡°This girl is not a good person. She is good at using her appearance to deceive people. Mom is a good example, but her nature is not like this. She is a poisonous snake that can¡¯t be warmed up! ¡°You must be careful when you get along with her. You must not be deceived by her appearance. I have already made it clear with mother, but mother will not believe my words now.¡± Xie Wenhui saw Xie Yiran¡¯s serious look and that told him all sorts of things about Xie Xianyue. When she told him to be careful of Xie Xianyue, Xie Wenhui said that he was not surprised. This was because Xie Wenhui really did not understand why she would tell him with such certainty what kind of person Xie Xianyue was and what her nature was. It made Xie Wenhui feel as if Xie Yiran already knew what would happen in the future. After a moment of silence, Xie Wenhui still chose to believe Xie Yiran. After all, Xie Yiran had been with Xie Wenhui for so long, and Xie Wenhui clearly knew what kind of character Xie Yiran had. Xie Yiran was not the kind of person who would be so hostile toward a person just because of some trivial matters. Therefore, even though Xie Yiran¡¯s words sounded very exaggerated now, however, Xie Wenhui was still willing to believe Xie Yiran¡¯s words. Therefore, Xie Wenhui looked at Xie Yiran and nodded. ¡°Okay, I got it. I¡¯ll be more careful. Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ll be leaving in a few days. In the future, you¡¯ll be the only one at home. ¡°You have to be more obedient in front of your parents, okay? Even if you don¡¯t like Xie Xianyue, you can¡¯t talk back to your mother like this. ¡°Otherwise, when you¡¯re wronged, you won¡¯t have anyone to talk to. Do you understand?¡± Xie Yiran knew that Xie Wenhui was sincerely thinking of her, so she nodded and said, ¡°I got it. Don¡¯t worry. This kind of thing won¡¯t happen in the future.¡± Xie Yiran would not be that stupid. Just like this time, she was openly hostile toward Xie Xianyue. Since Xie Xianyue had already entered the Xie family, it was useless to stop her. Therefore, what Xie Yiran could do now was to slowly deal with Xie Xianyue in her future life. At first, Xie Yiran thought that if Xie Xianyue took the money and left obediently, she would let Xie Xianyue go. However, it seemed that Xie Xianyue really did not know what was good for her. In this case, Xie Yiran wanted Xie Xianyue to pay back the grievances and pain that she had suffered in her previous life bit by bit. She wanted to get it back from Xie Xianyue! Xie Wenhui did not know what Xie Yiran was thinking, but after seeing that Xie Yiran had promised him, he finally felt relieved. He stroked Xie Yiran¡¯s hair and said with a smile, ¡°Are you hungry? Let¡¯s go out and eat. ¡°Mom won¡¯t be so cruel as to really not let you eat. There¡¯s food left for you in the kitchen. Come down and eat. Don¡¯t worry, mom, dad, and Xie Xianyue are not in the living room.¡± Xie Yiran nodded with a smile. Of course, she knew that Huo Yueshan was actually a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She touched her stomach and found that she was indeed hungry. Therefore, she did not hesitate anymore and got up to go downstairs to eat. After all, only when she was full would she have the strength to deal with Xie Xianyue, the snake and scorpion woman! Chapter 33 - Birthday Party Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Wenhui looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Speaking of which, your 18th birthday is coming up in a few days. This is very important for girls. Mom and dad are planning to hold a birthday party for you. ¡°Coincidentally, I can also hold a birthday party for you here. If you have any gifts that you like, tell me that and I will definitely give them to you. However, let¡¯s make it clear in advance, stars and moons. You¡¯d better spare your brother.¡± Hearing this, Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of a smile. This was her family. No matter what, they would always think of her. It was just that in her previous life, because of her willfulness, she was deceived by Luo Guanyu, which caused them to lose their lives. Now, Xie Yiran did not have anything that she wanted.. The only thing she wanted was probably to be able to live happily with her family. Xie Yiran had already become indifferent to the rest. Thus, Xie Yiran looked at Xie Wenhui and revealed a sweet smile. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything I want in particular. Besides, as long as it¡¯s a gift from you, I will like it.¡± ¡°You little girl, you really know how to talk.¡± Xie Wenhui reached out his hand and stroked Xie Yiran¡¯s hair as he said with a smile. ¡°But brother, who did mom and dad invite to my birthday party this time?¡± Xie Yiran suddenly looked at Xie Wenhui with a trace of seriousness in her eyes. Although Xie Yiran had already guessed that Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi would definitely come here, Xie Yiran still felt lucky. She felt lucky that she had already explained to Huo Yueshan what she was thinking. Then, would Huo Yueshan not invite Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi this time? However, things were not as good as Xie Yiran had imagined. It was just like how she had no way of stopping Xie Xianyue from coming to the Xie family. The birthday party this time was also going according to the situation in her previous life. Xie Wenhui shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but they are probably the business partners of mom and dad and your friends. Speaking of which, mom probably wants to ask if you need to invite your classmates. ¡°But you know, because you two are angry right now, I can only take over these words. But as long as it¡¯s from you, I think mom and dad will respect your opinion.¡± After hearing these words, Xie Yiran understood that Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi would still be there. Therefore, for a moment, her originally good mood disappeared. Then, she just shook her head and said, ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s do it according to what mom and dad are saying now. I don¡¯t have anyone to invite.¡± As for those friends, when Xie Yiran was framed by Xie Xianyue in her previous life and caused that kind of scandal, no one came forward to help. Therefore, Xie Yiran clearly understood these guys, as they only took a fancy to the strength of the family behind her. The only one who treated her sincerely was probably only Ye Qingqing. Therefore, for this birthday party, she only needed to invite Ye Qingqing over. Moreover, Xie Yiran¡¯s soul was already an adult now. She did not care about these birthdays as much as before. The current Xie Yiran only hoped that things would go according to plan. She did not have the energy to care about these small matters anymore. After all, Xie Yiran¡¯s energy was completely focused on dealing with Luo Guanyu and Xie Xianyue. When Xie Wenhui saw that Xie Yiran did not seem to be as excited about this matter as he imagined, although he felt strange in his heart, he did not say anything. He just looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about Xie Xianyue¡¯s matter anymore. Although Xie Xianyue was adopted by Mom, in Mom¡¯s heart, you are still the most important person.¡± Xie Yiran silently glanced at Xie Wenhui when she heard that. It seemed that Xie Wenhui felt that she had such a big opinion of Xie Xianyue because she was worried that Xie Xianyue¡¯s arrival would affect her position in Huo Yueshan¡¯s heart. However, how could it be? Xie Yiran was not a child. Naturally, she knew that Xie Xianyue could not compare to her. Despite that, Xie Wenhui did not understand what Xie Yiran had experienced. Xie Yiran also did not know how to explain these things to Xie Wenhui. She could only look at Xie Wenhui and say, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know. But brother, you must not forget what I told you.¡± Xie Wenhui smiled and nodded. He wiped the rice grains from the corner of Xie Yiran¡¯s mouth and said, ¡°How old are you? Your food still sticks to your face when you eat. You can eat here. I¡¯m going back to my room.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± A trace of a smile appeared on Xie Yiran¡¯s face but after Xie Wenhui left, the smile gradually disappeared, followed by a solemn expression. Chapter 34 - A Twisted Heart Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Yiran felt that there was a force in everything that led to the general direction of the situation. However, there seemed to be some subtle things that could still be changed. This made Xie Yiran feel frustrated, but at the same time, she also felt a glimmer of hope. As long as it could be changed, it would definitely be able to reverse the final outcome! Xie Yiran frowned slightly, and her eyes carried a trace of distress that did not match her age. According to what Xie Wenhui said just now, then Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi would probably attend her birthday party like before. It seemed that in her previous life, Xie Yiran had some accidents at her birthday party. Before this, Xie Yiran still did not understand what was going on, but now that she thought about it, it was very likely that it had a lot to do with Xie Xianyue. After all, in her previous life, because she had adopted Xie Xianyue, Xie Xianyue had tried her best to show off in front of Huo Yueshan and Xie Honghou. Therefore, during Xie Yiran¡¯s birthday party, Xie Xianyue had helped a lot. Due to this, Huo Yueshan liked Xie Xianyue even more.. At that time, Xie Yiran even felt that Xie Xianyue was thoughtful, and from then on, she sincerely treated Xie Xianyue as her biological sister. However, unexpectedly, a trace of coldness appeared in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes, and she clenched her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Xie Xianyue, this time, I definitely would not let you set us up! The next day, when Xie Yiran arrived at the courtyard, she saw Xie Xianyue and Huo Yueshan setting up something together. Sure enough, the direction of the matter was not much different from the one in her previous life. Xie Xianyue still tried to sell herself in front of Huo Yueshan, doing her best to help Huo Yueshan deal with these chores. Huo Yueshan saw that Xie Xianyue was very obedient, and she liked her even more. In addition, she felt that Xie Xianyue was the same age as Xie Yiran, so Xie Xianyue would probably be able to understand what Xie Yiran liked more, therefore, these matters were all handed over to Xie Xianyue to handle. With the help of the housekeeper, Huo Yueshan felt that there should not be any problems with this matter. When Xie Xianyue saw that Huo Yueshan had already trusted her and even handed these matters over to her, she felt even happier. Furthermore, at Xie Yiran¡¯s birthday party this time, Huo Yueshan, Xie Honghou, and the others would invite their business partners. As the second daughter of the Xie family, Xie Xianyue felt that this was a very good opportunity for her. This way, Xie Xianyue could let more people know of her existence. If a disciple from a wealthy family took a fancy to her, would she not be able to live a good life in the future? Xie Xianyue began to have her own calculations in her heart. On this day, Huo Yueshan directly gave Xie Xianyue a sum of money. She asked Xie Xianyue to help buy some things that young girls would like, so that she could hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Xie Yiran. Although Xie Xianyue agreed very well on the surface, her heart was already twisted with jealousy when she saw the amount of money. She was the same as Xie Yiran, almost eighteen years old, but Huo Yueshan and the others had spent so much effort to hold this so-called coming-of-age ceremony for Xie Yiran. Thinking of this, Xie Xianyue felt that it was very unfair. Needless to say, Xie Yiran did not want to let her into the Xie family previously. For a moment, Xie Xianyue¡¯s malice was wanton in her heart. She even had the idea of when she could pull Xie Yiran down. If possible, she would steal the love of Huo Yueshan and Xie Honghou into her own body in the future, and it would be even better if she could completely squeeze Xie Yiran out of this family. However, Xie Xianyue had never thought that she could live in the Xie family now and become the second daughter of the Xie family. It was already something that she should be grateful for. Yet, she had to delude herself into thinking about things that should not belong to her. She had even tried to challenge Xie Yiran¡¯s position in the Xie family. If it were anyone else, they would have pointed at Xie Xianyue¡¯s nose and scolded her for being ungrateful. In her previous life, Xie Xianyue had indeed succeeded. She had successfully pushed Xie Yiran away and obtained everything that belonged to Xie Yiran. She had even snatched Luo Guanyu away from her. However, now that Xie Yiran had been reborn, it could only be said that Xie Xianyue¡¯s wishful thinking was about to fail. However, Xie Xianyue did not know that Xie Yiran was no longer the innocent little girl from the beginning. Therefore, her heart was still beginning to deviate from her little secret. As this was the first time that Huo Yueshan had given Xie Xianyue a task, Xie Xianyue definitely had to do her best in this matter. She could not afford to be careless. Chapter 35 - Hostility Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At the very least, she had to leave a good impression on Huo Yueshan, Xie Honghou, and even the people who came to attend the birthday party. Thus, Xie Xianyue had been really busy these days. She even had to rub her feet when she sat on the bed at night to relieve her exhaustion. However, Xie Yiran still brought Ye Qingqing around and went out to play, which made Xie Xianyue feel dissatisfied. Xie Xianyue felt that she was now the second daughter of the Xie family, but the gap between her and Xie Yiran was still so big. She could not even compare to the child of a servant, Ye Qingqing! However, Xie Xianyue seemed to have forgotten that she was the one who volunteered to let Huo Yueshan handle this matter. Otherwise, Xie Xianyue would definitely have a much easier time. On this day, when Xie Xianyue was about to go out to buy some food, she happened to see Ye Qingqing and Xie Yiran carrying large and small bags of clothes and jewellery back home. When she saw the full shopping bags, a hint of jealousy flashed in Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes, but in the next second, a kind smile appeared on her face as she looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Yiran, you¡¯re back. I was planning to go out to buy some things for your birthday..¡± Xie Yiran was no longer an innocent child, so she naturally caught the hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction in Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes. A trace of mockery surfaced in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes. Looking at the kind Xie Xianyue in front of her, she secretly lamented in her heart that it was a pity that Xie Xianyue did not apply for the role. ¡°Is that so? Then you¡¯re really quite busy. You must be exhausted from all the work you¡¯ve been doing these past few days, right?¡± Although Xie Yiran hated Xie Xianyue to the extreme in her heart, she still had to put in some effort on the surface. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. After all, it¡¯s your birthday party. Of course, I should prepare well,¡± Xie Xianyue said with a smile. ¡°Well, I really thank you. But I also looked at some of your decorations. I don¡¯t like it very much.¡± Xie Yiran put the shopping bag in her hand on the sofa. She turned around and looked at Xie Xianyue with a light smile. ¡°Since you prepared it for me, you should do it according to my intention, right? If that¡¯s the case, then change those things. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to rearrange them.¡± The moment Xie Yiran finished speaking, the expression on Xie Xianyue¡¯s face became a little ugly. Ye Qingqing subconsciously tugged at Xie Yiran¡¯s clothes, but Xie Yiran acted as if she did not realize it, and she still raised a bright smile and looked at Xie Xianyue. A trace of unwillingness appeared in Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes. She frowned at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°But Yiran, these things have already been arranged. If you want to rearrange them, then¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you feel that it¡¯s very troublesome and don¡¯t want to waste your time?¡± Xie Yiran said bluntly, looking at Xie Xianyue with an unquestionable expression. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to do it, then leave this matter to someone else. I dislike people like you the most. You¡¯re used to finding excuses for yourself.¡± When Xie Yiran said this, her tone paused, then, she stared at Xie Xianyue with a cold gaze. ¡°Another thing is that you don¡¯t seem to be aware of your status at all. Don¡¯t you see what kind of status you have? Don¡¯t tell me you really think of yourself as the second daughter of the Xie family?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± When Xie Xianyue heard these words, she wanted to go up and give Xie Yiran a big slap in the face, but she had to put on an innocent and aggrieved look on the surface. However, Xie Yiran would not give Xie Xianyue the chance to finish these words. ¡°Since there isn¡¯t any, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to handle these matters, right?¡± Xie Yiran looked at Xie Xianyue and revealed an innocent smile. Xie Xianyue tightly held her hand, forcing herself to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart. Then, she looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Okay, I understand. Since it¡¯s like this, I¡¯ll rearrange it.¡± Xie Yiran glanced at Xie Xianyue¡¯s tightly clenched fist, feeling extremely happy in her heart. Then, she looked at Xie Xianyue and said coldly, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± After saying that, she ignored Xie Xianyue¡¯s expression and directly turned around to look at Ye Qingqing who was already stunned by the side. She said with a smile, ¡°Qingqing, let¡¯s go back to the house to try on the new clothes.¡± As if to anger Xie Xianyue, Xie Yiran emphasized the word ¡®new clothes¡¯. Ye Qingqing carefully glanced at Xie Xianyue who was behind her with a livid face. It seemed that Xie Yiran had really angered her. Chapter 36 - Don’t Mind Her Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation However, she still had to put on a magnanimous face, causing her face to be slightly distorted. After returning to Xie Yiran¡¯s room, Ye Qingqing looked at Xie Yiran and said with a frown, ¡°Ran Ran, I saw how ugly she looked just now. Why don¡¯t you like her?¡± ¡°Well, I just don¡¯t like her.¡± Xie Yiran nodded, not hiding her disgust toward Xie Xianyue at all. Xie Yiran looked at Ye Qingqing and continued, ¡°Also, you have to know that this girl has nothing to do with our Xie family. Even if my mother lets her stay in our Xie family now, I will chase her out sooner or later! ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about her at all. This girl is not as simple as she looks on the surface. She has a lot of thoughts. You must not have too much to do with her, understand?¡± Xie Yiran once again told Ye Qingqing about how scary Xie Xianyue was. She wanted Ye Qingqing to stay away from Xie Xianyue so that Ye Qingqing would not be fooled by Xie Xianyue. . Ye Qingqing did not have any doubts about Xie Yiran¡¯s words. She nodded and agreed, ¡°I think what you said makes sense. I saw the way she looked at you just now. She¡¯s not as innocent as she looks on the surface.¡± Ye Qingqing recalled Xie Xianyue¡¯s appearance before she went upstairs. To be honest, it was not an exaggeration to describe her as ferocious. In addition, this was the first time Ye Qingqing had seen Xie Yiran¡¯s serious appearance in such a long time. Therefore, Ye Qingqing also felt that Xie Xianyue was not as innocent as she looked on the surface. Xie Yiran took out the dress from the shopping bag and looked at Ye Qingqing with a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about her anymore. Let¡¯s see how the new clothes are.¡± Xie Yiran¡¯s words distracted Ye Qingqing from what had just happened, so the two of them began to try on the clothes in the room. As for Xie Xianyue, because of Xie Yiran¡¯s disliking, she could only change all the decorations that she had worked so hard to decorate for a few days. Although Xie Xianyue was very unwilling, there was nothing she could do. After all, Xie Xianyue knew in her heart that she had yet to gain a foothold in the Xie family. She had to win over more people. However, Xie Xianyue did not understand why Xie Yiran would still be so hostile towards her. Time passed in the blink of an eye. It was almost Xie Yiran¡¯s birthday. The Xie family was very lively that day. Huo Yueshan and many of Xie Honghou¡¯s partners had received invitations and rushed here specially. As for Xie Yiran, she was woken up by Ye Qingqing in the morning. After all, it was a banquet. Ye Qingqing was also very excited. However, as the main character, Xie Yiran did not seem to be very interested. Despite that, there was no other way. Why would they say that this birthday banquet was only held because of Xie Yiran? Therefore, Xie Yiran also had to get dressed properly, then, she went to the door to welcome the guests with Huo Yueshan and Xie Honghou. Although she had mentally prepared herself, Xie Yiran still felt a little conflicted when she saw Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi. Luo Guanyu and Luo Yongyi also looked like they were dressed up today. Each of them looked a little handsome in their suits. Although they still looked a little immature, it was not difficult to see the manliness in them. However, Luo Guanyu¡¯s face was still the same as she remembered. It was cold as if someone owed him money. Luo Yongyi came with Lin Youwan and Xie Yiran. When he saw Xie Yiran, he quickly walked in front of Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Ran Ran, happy birthday!¡± Xie Yiran said with a fake smile, ¡°Thank you.¡± As she spoke, Xie Yiran noticed that Luo Guanyu¡¯s gaze seemed to have been fixed on her. After looking over, Luo Guanyu calmly averted his gaze. Luo Guanyu¡¯s arrival attracted the attention of some women of the same age as her. However, Luo Guanyu did not seem to notice these gazes at all. Xie Yiran sneered in her heart and subconsciously looked into the courtyard. Although she did not know how Xie Xianyue hooked up with Luo Guanyu in her previous life, judging from Xie Xianyue¡¯s tone, it was obvious that she had been in love with Luo Guanyu for a long time. If that was the case, it was likely that she would still be attracted to Luo Guanyu this time. Xie Yiran imagined the scene of Luo Guanyu and Xie Xianyue standing together, and suddenly thought of a sentence, ¡®A whore and a dog, forever and ever.¡¯ In fact, this time, Xie Yiran could help Xie Xianyue set Luo Guanyu and Xie Xianyue up. Then, she could wait until the end to take back the grievances she had suffered from the two of them! Chapter 37 - Presents Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Luo Guanyu did not know what Xie Yiran was thinking. He looked at Xie Yiran in front of him. She was wearing a light yellow dress and had exquisite makeup on her face. She looked much more beautiful than usual. However, there was still a hint of alienation and coldness in her eyes. This made Luo Guanyu a little unhappy. Xie Yiran looked at Luo Guanyu indifferently and then shifted her gaze away. Lin Youwan, who was at the side, said some polite words to praise Xie Yiran and then began to talk to Huo Yueshan and Xie Yiran. Luo Yongyi took out an exquisite gift box from his pocket and looked at Xie Yiran with a smile. ¡°Ran Ran, guess what gift I have prepared for you?¡± Xie Yiran looked at the gift box calmly. She reached out her hand to accept it and said with a faint smile, ¡°No matter what gift it is, in my eyes, it is a token of your appreciation. Thank you..¡± After saying that, she planned to put the gift in a place that was specially used for storing gifts. However, she did not expect to be stopped by Luo Yongyi. Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran and said with a frown, ¡°Ran Ran, open it and take a look. I have carefully selected it!¡± Lin Youwan also looked at Xie Yiran and said with a smile, ¡°Yes, Ran Ran, just take a look. This kid has been bothering me for a long time to give you this gift.¡± Xie Yiran could only open the gift. When she saw a diamond necklace placed in the gift box, she was also a little surprised. Although Xie Yiran knew that the Luo family had an illustrious family background, she did not expect Luo Yongyi to casually give her a gift with diamonds. This should cost a lot of money, right? ¡°Why? Do you like it?¡± Luo Yongyi looked at Xie Yiran with a look of anticipation. Xie Yiran sighed helplessly in her heart. When she raised her head, a sweet smile hung on her face. ¡°I like it. It¡¯s just that this gift is too expensive. Actually, I¡¯m satisfied with just ordinary gifts.¡± ¡°How can that be? This isn¡¯t considered expensive. Besides, it¡¯s a gift for you as an adult. Of course, I have to carefully choose it.¡± After Luo Yongyi saw that Xie Yiran said that she liked it, a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face. ¡°The first time I saw this necklace, I felt that it matched Ran Ran very well. Both of them are so pure and flawless.¡± Flawless? When Xie Yiran heard these words, she suddenly felt a little sarcastic. If this sentence had been used on her before, it would have been fine. However, the Xie Yiran now was not as pure as before. Luo Guanyu, who was by the side, saw this and said indifferently, ¡°Indeed, this gift is more expensive. I believe that no matter which girl it is, she will like it.¡± How could Xie Yiran not understand the meaning in Luo Guanyu¡¯s words? She was secretly mocking Xie Yiran for not saying anything different from other women. They were all snobbish and liked expensive things. However, Xie Yiran did not care about Luo Guanyu¡¯s words at all. She just looked at Luo Guanyu indifferently, giving people the feeling that she was waiting for Luo Guanyu to take out the gift. Seeing this, Luo Guanyu took out a bracelet from his pocket. Although the packaging was not very good, it looked quite exquisite. He threw it to Xie Yiran and said, ¡°No matter what, it¡¯s your birthday party. It¡¯s not good to come empty-handed. However, if you want me to choose a gift for you, don¡¯t have any expectations.¡± Xie Yiran took the gift in her hand and looked at it casually. It did not look like it was bought casually. However, Xie Yiran did not think that Luo Guanyu would spend his effort to buy her a gift. Therefore, she just put the bracelet on the table at the side and looked at Luo Guanyu¡¯s fake smile and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± After saying that, she turned around and walked inside, completely ignoring the burning gaze behind her. When Luo Guanyu saw that Xie Yiran was treating his gift so casually, his face darkened a little. Although he said that he bought it casually, only Luo Guanyu himself knew whether or not he had put in any effort. However, he did not expect that Xie Yiran would have such an attitude. If he had known earlier, Luo Guanyu would not have brought any so-called gifts. Luo Guanyu took a deep breath and did not understand why she was unhappy over such a small matter. After forcefully suppressing his emotions, he followed Xie Yiran, Luo Yongyi, and the others inside. The following time was after Xie Honghou made a few simple remarks. The guests who came here gave Xie Yiran gifts and blessings. Then, the adults began to eat. As for the children, they talked together. Xie Yiran had nothing to say to these people. She just stayed with ye Qingqing and talked nonsense. At the same time, she was thinking about how to get out of this matter. At this moment, Xie Yiran saw Xie Xianyue beside her. Chapter 38 - Escape Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xie Yiran still remembered that in her previous life, Xie Xianyue had tricked her into falling into the pool at her birthday party? Previously, Xie Yiran did not know how to swim, so she was scared out of her wits. Due to this incident, Xie Yiran even went to sign up for swimming classes. Hence, this time, Xie Yiran did not have to worry about drowning or anything like that. On the contrary, she could take this opportunity to return to her room. This was indeed a good way to escape. Thinking of this, Xie Yiran brought Ye Qingqing to the pool where Xie Xianyue was. When Xie Xianyue saw Xie Yiran walking toward her, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. She was just thinking of finding an excuse for Xie Yiran to come over, but she did not expect Xie Yiran to come by herself. It really did not take much effort to come here. In a place where no one could see, a sinister smile appeared in Xie Xianyue¡¯s eyes.. She had worked so hard to arrange everything, but in the end, everything had nothing to do with her. Xie Yiran did not do anything, yet she received so many gifts. Xie Xianyue was unwilling to accept this. She could take this opportunity to teach Xie Yiran a lesson. When the time came, she could go and save Xie Yiran. This way, not only would she be able to show off in front of everyone but it was likely that Huo Yueshan, Xie Honghou, and even Xie Yiran would have a better impression of her. Therefore, Xie Xianyue silently watched Xie Yiran walk toward her. Then, she watched Xie Yiran fall into the water. ¡°Splash!¡± A sound caught everyone¡¯s attention. Then, Ye Qingqing panicked and shouted, ¡°Ran Ran! Someone, anyone! Ran Ran fell into the water!¡± The adults who were talking in groups of three or five looked over when they heard the voice. They saw the main character of this banquet, Xie Yiran, struggling in the water. They all rushed over. Before they arrived, they saw a figure diving into the water. It was Luo Guanyu. Luo Guanyu was actually paying attention to Xie Yiran from the corner of his eyes. The moment he saw Xie Yiran fall into the water, he rushed over and picked her up from the pool, bringing her back to the shore. Ye Qingqing saw this and rushed forward to help the two of them up. Xie Xianyue, on the other hand, was planning to see Xie Yiran¡¯s miserable state. However, she did not expect that someone would save Xie Yiran the moment she fell into the water. This sudden scene also messed up Xie Xianyue¡¯s plan. Although Xie Yiran could already swim, she still had some deep-seated fear toward the pool. However, she did not expect to be saved by Luo Guanyu. This made Xie Yiran a little surprised. At this moment, their clothes were wet. They stuck to Xie Yiran¡¯s body, showing the curves of Xie Yiran¡¯s body. Luo Guanyu could not help but swallow his saliva. Xie Yiran reacted and held her chest with a frown. Ye Qingqing also took a towel from the side and put it on Xie Yiran. ¡°Ran Ran, are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Xie Yiran shook her head and looked at Luo Guanyu with a frown. Then, she turned around and walked into the house. Huo Yueshan and the others behind her also rushed over. They also saw how Luo Guanyu saved Xie Yiran. Huo Yueshan also looked at Luo Guanyu and said, ¡°Guanyu, your clothes are already wet. Let me take give you a change of clothes.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, auntie. Just let the servants take me there. You guys can take charge of the situation here.¡± Luo Guanyu smiled appropriately. Huo Yueshan nodded and then called the servants to take Luo Guanyu to the house to change his clothes. This episode was over soon. As there were no casualties, no one took it to heart. Only Luo Yongyi and Xie Xianyue were left frowning as they looked in the direction where Luo Guanyu and Xie Yiran had left. Each of them had their own thoughts. Luo Yongyi did not even realize what had just happened. When he found out that Xie Yiran had fallen into the water, Luo Guanyu had already rushed out. For a moment, Luo Yongyi had an indescribable feeling in his heart. As for Xie Xianyue, when she saw Luo Guanyu¡¯s figure, she was so jealous that she was going crazy. She did not expect that not only did she not show off in front of Huo Yueshan and the others but she even let Xie Yiran be saved! After returning to the house, Xie Yiran changed into a new set of clothes. She looked at Ye Qingqing and said, ¡°Qingqing, help me tell the others that I won¡¯t go as if I¡¯m not feeling well. You can go out and play.¡± Ye Qingqing frowned and looked at Xie Yiran worriedly. ¡°Are you okay? Where are you not feeling well?¡± Xie Yiran smiled and patted Ye Qingqing¡¯s small hand. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just don¡¯t like these occasions.¡± Ye Qingqing finally heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°Alright, you can rest here. I¡¯ll go out and tell Madam.¡± Chapter 39 - Being Alone Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After closing the door, Ye Qingqing walked out and happened to meet Luo Guanyu, who had come in to change his clothes. Seeing that only Ye Qingqing came out alone, Luo Guanyu subconsciously glanced at the room that Ye Qingqing had just come out of, and then said, ¡°Where¡¯s Miss Xie?¡± Ye Qingqing thought of the words that Xie Yiran had told him, so she said, ¡°Ran Ran is not feeling well, so she will rest in the room first. Thank you for what happened just now. ¡°You came here to change clothes, right? The changing room is over there.¡± Luo Guanyu nodded, but his heart sank when he heard Ye Qingqing¡¯s words. What was wrong with Xie Yiran? When he rescued Xie Yiran just now, Luo Guanyu did not seem to see anything wrong with Xie Yiran. Hence, after sending Ye Qingqing and the servants away, Luo Guanyu decided to wait until he had changed clothes to take a look personally, so that he could rest assured, even though Luo Guanyu did not know why he had such a thought. Thus, after a moment, when Luo Guanyu had changed his clothes, he walked to Xie Yiran¡¯s door and knocked lightly. . ¡°Knock, knock, knock¡­¡± When Xie Yiran heard the knock on the door, she thought it was Ye Qingqing who had returned. She felt a little strange in her heart. This girl had never been so polite before. Why did she knock on the door this time? Could it be that she was worried that she would disturb her if she came in rashly while she was resting? Xie Yiran stood up and walked toward the door. When she opened the door and saw the person standing outside, her expression turned ugly. This was because Xie Yiran did not expect that the person at the door would be Luo Guanyu. The clothes Luo Guanyu was wearing now looked like Xie Wenhui¡¯s clothes. However, they were still very suitable for Luo Guanyu. Xie Yiran had thought that Luo Guanyu was just a clothes hanger. No matter what kind of clothes he wore, he looked very good. In her previous life, Xie Yiran liked to help Luo Guanyu choose clothes, but now when she saw Luo Guanyu, Xie Yiran¡¯s mood was not as good as before. Xie Yiran frowned and looked at Luo Guanyu in front of her. She asked, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Luo Guanyu was originally worried about Xie Yiran¡¯s health, but now it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her. What made Luo Guanyu unhappy was that the moment Xie Yiran saw him, her face became very ugly. This really made Luo Guanyu unhappy. After all, it was Luo Guanyu who saved Xie Yiran just now. Why did Xie Yiran still look like this when she saw him? Luo Guanyu frowned and said, ¡°Is this how you treat your savior?¡± A trace of impatience appeared in Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes. She wanted to say that even without Luo Guanyu, she could still come back safely. Who knew that Luo Guanyu would meddle in other people¡¯s business? ¡°Thank you.¡± After Xie Yiran said this coldly, she subconsciously wanted to close the door. Seeing this, Luo Guanyu subconsciously used his hand to block the door. Xie Yiran¡¯s brows slightly jumped. She looked at Luo Guanyu and coldly said, ¡°What is Young Master Luo trying to do?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Luo Guanyu was a little speechless, because he did not know why he would do such a thing. Xie Yiran glanced at the people who were chatting and laughing outside. She sneered and said, ¡°What? I originally thought that Young Master Luo was a gentleman, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person.¡± How could Luo Guanyu not understand the meaning of Xie Yiran¡¯s words? Anger surged in his heart. He was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°Are you saying that I want to do something bad to you?¡± Xie Yiran crossed her arms and said in a low voice, ¡°Then this matter is uncertain.¡± Her words made Luo Guanyu even more furious. He suddenly grabbed Xie Yiran¡¯s shoulder and stepped into Xie Yiran¡¯s room. Then, he closed the door casually. Xie Yiran did not expect Luo Guanyu¡¯s sudden reaction. Looking at Luo Guanyu who was so close to her, Xie Yiran felt her heart skip a beat. Xie Yiran liked the smell of Luo Guanyu¡¯s body before, but now that she smelled it, she felt annoyed. Xie Yiran struggled to free her arm from Luo Guanyu¡¯s hand. She raised her head and scolded Luo Guanyu, ¡°Young Master Luo, what are you trying to do?!¡± ¡°Hehe, didn¡¯t you say that I wanted to do something bad to you? I don¡¯t like being slandered the most. If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll show you!¡±Luo Guanyu¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. For some reason, when he saw Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes, he felt even more anxious. He held Xie Yiran¡¯s waist with one hand and supported his chin with the other hand. Then, he suddenly attacked Xie Yiran¡¯s red lips. When she felt the touch on her lips, Xie Yiran¡¯s mind went blank. Chapter 40 - Was Bitten by a Dog Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation She stared at Luo Guanyu with her eyes wide open. Xie Yiran had never thought that Luo Guanyu would dare to do such a thing to her. There were so many guests outside, but Luo Guanyu was still so bold to come to her room and do such a thing to her! When she finally reacted, Xie Yiran struggled with all her might. However, how could a girl¡¯s strength compare to a man like Luo Guanyu? In addition, Luo Guanyu was a very strong person. Now that he was angered by Xie Yiran¡¯s words, he was in a state of anger. Hence, when it came to the strategy, Xie Yiran was unable to defend against it. After an unknown amount of time, Luo Guanyu finally raised his head. His chest heaved up and down. He looked at Xie Yiran with a hint of anger in his eyes. However, there was also a hint of fear in her eyes. In her previous life, she had been in contact with Luo Guanyu for a long time.. How could Xie Yiran not know what the burning expression in Luo Guanyu¡¯s eyes meant. Luo Guanyu stared at Xie Yiran. Xie Yiran¡¯s lips had become even redder due to the rampage just now. There was a trace of redness on her face. He did not know if she was stifled or angry. However, the current Xie Yiran in Luo Guanyu¡¯s eyes was more attractive than her usual cold appearance. Luo Guanyu was a little absent-minded. Luo Guanyu could clearly feel the feeling in his heart. If he had not released Xie Yiran in time, Luo Guanyu was really worried that he would not be able to control himself. However, Xie Yiran did not seem to be immersed in what had just happened. She looked at him with endless anger and hatred. This made Luo Guanyu feel an inexplicable emotion rise in his heart. To be honest, Luo Guanyu completely understood why Xie Yiran would look at him like that. She was clearly not like this when she was facing Luo Yongyi. It was as if Xie Yiran only hated him. Xie Yiran struggled to get away from Luo Guanyu, then raised her hand and slapped Luo Guanyu¡¯s face. Luo Guanyu¡¯s pupils shrank, and he frowned as he held Xie Yiran¡¯s wrist. However, Xie Yiran refused to admit defeat, and her other hand was also aimed at his face, but it was also grabbed by Luo Guanyu. Xie Yiran looked at Luo Guanyu and said angrily, ¡°Luo Guanyu, you¡¯re really a bastard! Let go of me quickly!¡± Luo Guanyu¡¯s face was also a little dark because Luo Guanyu did not expect what he did just now. However, Xie Yiran¡¯s reaction really made Luo Guanyu a little frustrated. He looked at Xie Yiran and said in a deep voice, ¡°Let it go. Do you want to give me a few more slaps? ¡°If I go out with a palm print, aren¡¯t you worried that others will misunderstand? When that time comes, your reputation might be damaged.¡± Luo Guanyu¡¯s words made Xie Yiran¡¯s heart thump. The last thing she wanted was to have anything to do with Luo Guanyu. Naturally, she did not want others to misunderstand their relationship. Therefore, Xie Yiran took a deep breath and held her hand tightly. Then, she said coldly, ¡°I got it. I won¡¯t hit you. Let me go first.¡± Seeing that Xie Yiran had regained her calmness in just a few seconds, Luo Guanyu was a little surprised, but at the same time, he was a little dissatisfied. Did this woman want to cut off her relationship with him? After Luo Guanyu let Xie Yiran go, Xie Yiran moved her wrist and looked at Luo Guanyu. She said in a low voice, ¡°Since you want to take advantage of me, Young Master Luo, you should be satisfied now, right? ¡°Then can you leave? I want to rest and don¡¯t want to see you.¡± Seeing Xie Yiran¡¯s cold look, Luo Guanyu was even more frustrated. He frowned at Xie Yiran and said, ¡°Why do you have to treat me like this? ¡°What happened just now¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to argue with you about what happened just now. I¡¯ll treat it as if I was bitten by a dog. You don¡¯t have to take it to heart.¡± Before Luo Guanyu could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Xie Yiran. Xie Yiran¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness as she looked at Luo Guanyu. She said word by word, ¡°I also don¡¯t want these things to be known by a third person. I hope you can cooperate with me on this matter. Alright, I don¡¯t want to say any more unnecessary words. ¡°Please leave now. I don¡¯t want to see you. Do you understand?¡± Looking at Xie Yiran¡¯s cold eyes, Luo Guanyu felt a sense of bitterness that he had never felt before. At the same time, he was furious. He did not understand how Xie Yiran could be so calm. She was just a girl who had just grown up. Why did her behavior not match her age?
