Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

For the short time he had spent with Ran Xueyi, Lapis knew that even though her face looked beautiful and kind that one would even mistake her as an angel who came down to Earth, Ran Xueyi's inner darkness was too filled with thorns and pitch black evilness that no one could ever pierce.

"It's good to know that you're not trying to become a saint and forgive them. But, Boss, let me remind you that you're not alone. Don't resolve every problem by yourself and rely on us a bit."

Ran Xueyi felt warmed from his words, "I know… Don't worry, I know that I'm no longer alone in this world."

She already have Song Yu Han and Song Zhan by her side; the Lobo will also stand by her side, she was no longer alone in this world nor will she feel abandoned by everyone anymore.

After hanging up their call, Ran Xueyi looked for the list of investors and sponsors who will arrive for tomorrow's dinner party.

Amongst the list of the investors, there were several names that she didn't recognize and some were people she had previously worked with in the past. However, the most notable one would be William's attendance.

Though Ran Xueyi told Adelle not to worry about him, William might still become a variable during their stay in the country.

"Sigh… Let's worry about this tomorrow."

For now, she should just enjoy her rest and worry about the situation the next morning.

However, what Ran Xueyi did not expect was that early in the morning, a commotion had already broken out in the hotel's cafeteria.

Two models were entangled in a catfight and were screaming at each other as if nobody was watching. Thankfully, some men who were tactful enough to think that they couldn't allow such a show to continue stepped in and separated the two.

"Shameless! Who do you think made it possible for you to get into the list of invitees for the CK show?"

"Lin Hua, I'm telling you, don't get involve with my fiancé any more than this!"

A tall lady with a bob cut pointed her perfectly manicured red nails at another woman with a long hair.

The long haired woman named Lin Hua glared at the tall lady. She wanted to speak up to defend herself, but the judging stares and gazes she was receiving was too much that she felt her confidence melting away.

Lin Hua's manager grabbed her arm and also understood that they were in a disadvantageous position. She told her, "Let's go, Lin Hua. If you confront Xuan Yi now, people will only point at you."

"Don't waste the chance you got to be part of the CK show."

"I know, Manager Kim," Lin Hua could only grit her lips and turn away from everyone, leaving a fuming Xuan Yi at the cafeteria.

The fight ended with one of the ladies running away. Xuan Yi stayed at the cafeteria with the other models who were trying to comfort her and gain her favor.

"Isn't it interesting?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Ran Xueyi.

Ran Xueyi turned her body slightly and her eyes widened when she saw who it was.

"Brother Xie…"

Xie Xing, who was known as someone who refused to come out of his office and shut himself away from other people was now standing next to Ran Xueyi.

Xie Xing flashed her a smile and said, "It's been a long time… Did you miss me?"

"It's hard to say…" Ran Xueyi looked him up and down. In front of her was a man almost unrecognizable from the Brother Xie Xing she used to know.

Right now, a young man over the age of thirty with a charm of a handsome and sly man was standing in front of her. There was no hint of the gloomy Brother Xie Xing from the past.

"When did you change your style?" Ran Xueyi changed the topic and asked.

Xie Xing shrugged, "Time can change anyone. I changed for the better. As for you…" His eyes roamed her body before settling on her face. With a slightly annoyed expression, he clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk, you're still as beautiful as before. Are you sure you're not a succubus who sucks human energy to remain young and beautiful?"

Xie Xing felt slightly disappointed. Even after so many years has passed, Ran Xueyi still appeared fresh, beautiful, and young. He thought he could finally boast after his drastic change, but it seems that Ran Xueyi's unchanging beauty could still surprise people.

Ran Xueyi didn't expect to get a praise from him and blushed.

"You still get flustered by hearing people praise you?"

"It's not like that…" Ran Xueyi rolled her eyes and quickly changed the topic again, "What did you say is interesting by the way?"

Xie Xing knew she was embarrassed and didn't make things difficult for her. He pointed towards where Xuan Yi and the other were sitting with his lips and said, "Them… Even though a lot of things was changed in the Showbiz world… People who are in it never changed. It's always the never-ending drama and schemes that makes it seem more interesting."

Ran Xueyi couldn't disagree with his words. The world, economy, social status, and people changed with time, however, the Showbiz world was still the same even after numerous decades has passed.

Xie Xing glanced down at her and added, "But… I never thought you'd return after declaring that you will quit in the past." His eyes grew colder, "You even left me such a stain in my life."

Being stared by his eyes, Ran Xueyi was slightly intimidated. Xie Xing might be her friend and senior, but he hold more grudges than she did.

Truthfully, Ran Xueyi didn't want to meet Xie Xing during the time she stayed in that place. She even hoped that he wouldn't come and secretly prayed for it since she knew that Xie Xing doesn't like being surrounded by other people. If they met, she didn't know how to handle him.

However, their encounter today did not meet her expectation at all.

"I thought you didn't like being around people…"

Xie Xing snickered at that and replied, "I still do… But if I didn't come, would I still encounter you like this?"

"Is this revenge from what I did before?"

Xie Xing narrowed his eyes, "Do you think I'm so petty? Xueyi, even though I hate you embarrassing me last time, for the sake of our friendship, I will forgive you…"

Ran Xueyi sighed in relief, but she couldn't enjoy that moment because his following words soon tore it apart.

"But In one condition."

Ha, there it is… As expected, Brother Xie Xing won't let that matter go so easily.

Well, if she was in his foot, Ran Xueyi wouldn't let herself go either.

Ran Xueyi broke her promise to show up on the CK show and let Ran Yue replace her instead. Even if she was forced by her parents to give up her spot, Ran Xueyi did not say a word to Xie Xing. That was her sin that would absolutely destroy their friendship.

But now that a chance was presented to, Ran Xueyi was willing to do anything to regain that lost friendship.

As if he could see her thoughts, Xie Xing finally smiled and wiped away the cold expression across his face.

He reached out and patted her head and reassured her, "Don't worry… I won't ask you to do unreasonable things…"

"What do you want then?" she asked him.

Xie Xing lifted the corners of his lips and told her, "Go to my room tonight. I'll tell you what I want there."

After saying this, Xie Xing turned around and left Ran Xueyi standing there.

Adelle also came at the same time as he left and saw them standing close to one another. And with a frown, she approached Ran Xueyi and asked, "What happened, Xueyi? Do you know that guy?"

Adelle saw that man patting and whispering in Ran Xueyi's ears like a lover. Although she trusted Ran Xueyi's loyalty towards the Big Boss, that man looked extremely good-looking and tall. Could he be one of Ran Xueyi's past lovers?

Ran Xueyi did not know what her manager was thinking and nodded, "Yes, I know him… You should know him too. He's the director of CK show, Xie Xing."

Adelle was extremely shocked when she heard this and looked back to where the man disappeared to. She turned back to Ran Xueyi and said, "Are you serious? Isn't he a bit too young to be a director of CK show?"

"Is he?" Ran Xueyi did not think he was too young. "He became the vice director when he was in his early twenties and became the director just recently. Besides, his family owns the corporation so it isn't so weird that he's one of the youngest directors in the country."

"Ah, that's right…" Adelle remembered that the Big Boss was also a man nearing his thirties but already the Big Boss of several companies in the country and internationally. "But why did he approach you?"

"We just have an unfinished business to talk about…" Ran Xueyi's eyes became clouded.
