Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Ran Xueyi didn't even hesitate and answered the phone in front of him. There was no need for her to keep everything hidden from him.

Ran Xueyi: "Hello? Jian Yiling?"

There was a slight pause of silence on the other side of the phone.

It took five seconds for Ran Xueyi to hear her friend's familiar voice.

Jian Yiling: "Ran Xueyi..."

Ran Xueyi felt happy that at least, even after everything that happened to the two of them, Jian Yiling still contacted her.

Originally, Ran Xueyi thought that Jian Yiling wouldn't even try and get in contact with her after what happened years ago. It was understandable since it was her fault that pushed Jian Yiling away due to Yang Baihua and Ran Yue's persuasion, telling her that Jian Yiling was a dangerous woman.

Of course, at that time, Ran Xueyi didn't immediately cut off her relationship with Jian Yiling merely because she still had some doubts. However, Yang Baihua showed her some photos and records that Jian Yiling was indeed connected to the Underworld; a very dangerous and dark place that no person would try and get involved in that world where all mafia lords, gang lords, and all kinds of horrible things could happen, completely disregarding the establish law.

​ Ran Xueyi bit her lips. She didn't know what to say other than... "Sorry... It took me a while to talk to you again."

Jian Yiling didn't respond for a long while. Ran Xueyi felt her hands getting sweaty as she tried to calm her nerves. Then, a large and warm hand suddenly enclosed her hand, and when she looked up, she saw the man sitting across from her smiling at her. He was encouraging her.

Ran Xueyi: "It's been a while. How are you doing?"

Finally, Jian Yiling spoke: "I'm doing fine..."

Then she paused before adding in a somber tone, "I heard about you and that man from the Yang family... It seems you've finally woken up from your foolishness."

Ran Xueyi felt an arrow piercing her heart. Jian Yiling has been quite the frank one amongst her friends. She wouldn't hold or press the brake if she wanted to say something.

"I told you he's no good. That man has never been a good person. But did you listen?" Jian Yiling seemed to be scolding her, but her voice was gentle. "Yang Baihua and his lover have been going around the city, holding hands and kissing each other in front of your so-called circle of friends. And yet, did they tell you anything? They didn't, did they?"

Ran Xueyi looked at Song Yu Han, hoping that he couldn't hear what was said on the phone.

Ran Xueyi sighed. "I know... I was foolish and blind."

Jian Yiling cut her off: "You're not only blind... you're deaf to what people have been telling you."

Ran Xueyi felt like she hadn't stepped out of the battlefield. And no, she wasn't the one swinging her sword to her enemies... She was the one being shot at by a gun and she couldn't avoid it no matter how quick and swift her feet was. The bullet just followed her, the target, around and hit her everywhere.

But soon after the rounds of bullets had fallen onto her body, Jian Yiling softened her voice and said, "So... how are you doing now? Please don't tell me you're still with him?!"

Ran Xueyi quickly answered as if she was a soldier in front of a major: "No! I am not with him anymore. Truth to be told, I already broke off my engagement with him and want him to get out of my life."

Jian Yiling sighed this time. She knew how much Ran Xueyi loved Yang Baihua, that scumbag spoiled bastard. Ran Xueyi gave up her career and everything that she achieved in her life just to please him and her family. Thus, she knew that Ran Xueyi must have been too broken to recover from the pain that fast.

So, she no longer wanted to think about the bad blood that happened between her and Ran Xueyi.

The two of them fell into a tacit understanding. Neither of them spoke as they let their hearts and minds unite.

A minute later, Jian Yiling suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "So... when are we going to make him pay for what he did? Or do you want me to beat his a*s off and make his face as big as a pig's head?"

Ran Xueyi giggled. Jian Yiling wasn't the type to say one thing and not act on it. She really would beat Yang Baihua until his head was twice as big and looked like a pig's head.

"That would be nice but... Ran Xueyi stared at Song Yu Han and said to Jian Yiling, "I don't want to dirty your hands. Let me handle him and my family."

Jian Yiling didn't force her either and said, "Alright, promise me, however, that you would make it worthwhile. I'll be in the country soon and we will meet again."

Ran Xueyi raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't know that Jian Yiling was outside of the country. So she asked her, "Have you been staying out of the country this whole time?"

On Jian Yiling's side, a faint clicking sound could be heard as she responded with an affirmative. In front of her were three black suited men with their heads lowered and kneeling before her.

Ran Xueyi was silent for a second when she heard Jian Yiling ask in a worried tone: "Why? Is something the matter? Do you want me to come to the country now?"

Ran Xueyi shook her head as if Jian Yiling could see her: "No, it's alright. I'll wait for you to arrive."

Jian Yiling: "Alright."

After the two of them disconnected their calls, Ran Xueyi was in a daze. Though she has been friends with Jian Yiling, she didn't know what the latter's real occupation was. The only thing she knew about her was that she knew some people from the Underworld and had some dealings with them.
