Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ji Xuan’s words cut off Zeng Hui’s escape route. With Ji Xuan around, he couldn’t do anything. He could only obediently give 10% of the shares to Liang Ran.

Liang Ran followed Ji Xuan out. Ji Xuan’s chauffeur was already waiting at the door.

They got into the car. Liang Ran thought for a moment and said, “Thank you very much for today, Mr. Ji. May I ask where you live? I’ll go over and sign the agreement tomorrow.”

Ji Xuan looked at her. “I’ll send you back now. Pack your necessities and move to my place.”

“What?” Liang Ran was a little surprised.

“I told you to move to my place. Don’t you understand?” Ji Xuan frowned.

Of course Liang Ran understood the words, but she didn’t know why.

“I thought that there was no need for us to live together. You can rest assured, Mr. Ji, since I’ve promised you I’ll be on call around the clock.”

“I dislike trouble,” Ji Xuan said coldly.

Liang Ran could say no more.

Ji Xuan dropped Liang Ran off at the door and didn’t get out of the car.

When Liang Ran got home, Bi Wen was sitting in the living room with the TV on, but her attention wasn’t on it, as if she was in a daze.

She finally reacted when she heard the door open.

Bi Wen looked up at Liang Ran and heaved a sigh of relief. “Ranran, have you eaten? Shall I cook for you?”

Liang Ran had spent the whole day fighting with her wits and courage in the Zeng family. It was only at this moment that she finally relaxed. She raised her head and smiled. “Mom, I’ve eaten. You don’t have to worry. I came back to get something and will leave in a while.”

Bi Wen was stunned. “Is it about that Mr. Ji? When will you come back?”

Liang Ran pursed her lips. “I don’t know either. Mom, don’t worry about me. Just take care of yourself. I’ll be able to return to the company and take back the Liang Corporation soon.”

Bi Wen’s eyes were slightly wet. She had many questions in her mind, but she couldn’t ask them out loud. Even if she did ask, what difference would it make? She wouldn’t be able to help and would only cause trouble for Liang Ran. She even thought of telling Liang Ran to give up, but she knew Liang Ran’s personality – once she made a decision, she would never give up halfway.

“Ranran, take good care of yourself.” Bi Wen forced a smile.

Liang Ran sighed slightly. She walked to Bi Wen’s side and hugged her. Then, she took out a card from her bag and handed it to Bi Wen.

“Mom, take this card. There are 1.5 million yuan in it. Whenever I earn money, I’ll transfer it to this card for you. If you have nothing to do, go out and have fun or get a beauty treatment. Leave the rest to me.”

The tears that Bi Wen had been holding back for a long time finally fell. Liang Ran wiped them away and comforted her, “Mom, don’t cry. Mr. Ji is waiting outside. I’ll go pack my things first.”

Bi Wen choked a few times and finally managed to suppress her tears.

Liang Ran went back to her room and took a few essential things, such as identification documents. She did not bring many clothes, as she believed that Ji Xuan would get someone to prepare them.

In the car, Liang Ran and Ji Xuan sat on each side, with the middle seat empty. Liang Ran leaned against the window, lost in thought.

Ji Xuan frowned at her and suddenly said, “Young Lady, aren’t you too disqualified as a lover?”

Liang Ran came back to her senses and looked at him in confusion.

Ji Xuan gestured toward the empty seat next to him. Liang Ran understood and moved over, inching closer until her leg was touching his.

Ji Xuan was slightly satisfied. Seeing that Liang Ran had sat down and stopped moving, he patted his own leg.

Liang Ran raised her eyebrows and sat on his lap.

Ji Xuan reached out and hugged her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder. Although Liang Ran looked skinny, she was soft and comfortable to hug.

If this was a normal couple’s act, it would definitely be very sweet. However, Liang Ran felt that Ji Xuan did not feel any sweetness at all. He was simply using her as a pillow.

Never mind, he is her financial backer after all.

Liang Ran relaxed and nestled into Ji Xuan’s arms.

Ji Xuan held her like this for a while, then suddenly spoke up, “What do you want?”

“What?” Liang Ran’s eyes were closed and she was about to fall asleep. She did not react for a moment when she heard this.

“Reward, you did well in the Zeng family today.”Ji Xuan said.

Liang Ran understood and suddenly perked up. She turned her head and asked softly, “Anything?”

Ji Xuan scoffed. “I believe Miss Liang knows her limits.”

“I want 10% of the Liang Corporation’s shares.” Liang Ran coughed lightly.

Ji Xuan was speechless.
