Chapter 52 - Frightening at the Stairs
“Let go of me. I have a boyfriend now, and you’re also someone about to get married. We shouldn’t be like this.” Bai Ran struggled a few times and could not break free.
Bai Ran’s heart ached terribly at this moment. Logically speaking, she was very thankful to see this ring so that she would not make a mistake. However, emotionally, she really hoped that she had not seen it. It would be good to let her forget about everything for once.
“Then why didn’t you reject me at all earlier? Are you sure you really like that Jiang guy?” Chen Chen buried his head in Bai Ran’s neck, unwilling to let go. His tone was clearly filled with grievance.
“If he’s so good, why didn’t he look for you when something happened to you?” Chen Chen took the opportunity to ask.
Bai Ran smiled bitterly and looked at the dazzling ring. “Does it matter if I reject him or if he finds me? Since you’ve decided to marry someone else, you might as well go through the procedures with me.”
“Otherwise, you’ll be letting Hu Wan down,” Bai Ran continued.
Hearing the words “letting Hu Wan down,” Chen Chen revealed a difficult expression. His arms relaxed and his internal struggle began again.
Bai Ran took the opportunity to break free from Chen Chen’s arms and said, “I’ll go back first.”
Bai Ran took a taxi home. It was already midnight. The light at the staircase seemed to have broken. Bai Ran sighed. It was such a bad day.
She searched in her bag for a while and wanted to find her phone to turn on the flashlight to go upstairs, but she suddenly remembered that her phone was still with Huo Tian.
Bai Ran shrugged and could only comfort herself. It would be fine if she went upstairs in the dark. It would be fine as long as she entered the house. It would be fine after today.
Bai Ran’s hand touched the railing beside the stairs. At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from beside her and hugged her.
Bai Ran screamed as the person covered her mouth.
“Uh..” Bai Ran struggled desperately. Her heart seemed to have returned to the fear she had felt in Huo Tian’s room.
“Don’t be afraid..” The person hugged Bai Ran tighter and tighter. There was even a sobbing tone in his voice. “You’re back. You’re finally back!”
“Jiang Yun?” Bai Ran recognized the voice and stopped struggling. Her covered mouth let out two unclear words.
Jiang Yun let go of the hand covering his mouth and immediately hugged Bai Ran tightly.
“Let go of me first.” Bai Ran frowned slightly. She did not like being hugged by outsiders like this.
“I’m not letting go. I’m afraid that if I let go, you’ll disappear again,” Jiang Yun said.
“Let go of me. I can’t speak properly like this.” Bai Ran’s voice turned cold.
Hearing that something was wrong, Jiang Yun immediately let go of Bai Ran and said, “I’m sorry. I was just too worried about you.”
Bai Ran’s expression softened as she said, “Look, I’m fine now. I’m back safely, although it’s too dark to see.”
“But it’s already so late. I won’t invite you upstairs. Go back and rest early,” Bai Ran said.
“How did you get out? Did Huo Tian do anything to you?” Jiang Yun did not want to leave. “Chen Chen and I watched the surveillance cameras together and saw that you got into Huanyu company’s car, but I was not capable enough. By the time I figured out everything and rushed over, you were already gone.”
“So I wanted to call the police again, but the time was too short. The police couldn’t help me investigate at all. I could only run to your house and think that if nothing happened to you, you would definitely come back.”
“Now that you’re really back, I feel relieved,” Jiang Yun explained.
“Thank you for putting in so much effort for me. Don’t worry too much. I was taken away by Chen Chen before I could do anything,” Bai Ran said calmly.
“What about Chen Chen? It’s already midnight. Has he done anything to you in so long?” Jiang Yun’s expression became tense again.
“No, I’m fine.” Although she said that, Bai Ran’s expression became ugly. At the mention of this, the ring would appear in front of her.historical
