Cao Qing expected the woman in front of him to react when he said this to her. But surprisingly, even after hearing what he said, Ran Xueyi did not show any emotion on her face and looked at him expressionlessly.
But this emotionlessness only brought a chill on his spine.
It was as if he could tell without seeing it that she's beyond mad.
Ran Xueyi didn't think that with her reacting less and not showing any emotion brought about a different opinion about her.
It doesn't matter because it was true that she was filled with madness that she couldn't show outwardly.
Once was enough. But Cao Yujin did not try to be subtle with her obsession with her husband, Song Yu Han.
As far as what Song Yu Han recounted from his past, Cao Yujin one-sidedly approached him with evil intentions.
It was understandable already that women couldn't stray away from being attracted to him. With such good looks, figure, and amazing background, Song Yu Han was at the pinnacle of his bachelor life.
Cao Yujin wasn't just one of those women who tried to get to him. She did not only desire to monopolize Song Yu Han, she's also aiming for the Song family and the Song Corps. that he's managing.
In the end, what Cao Yujin wanted was not Song Yu Han, but the things that people admire about him.
Ran Xueyi couldn't forgive the Cao family and the Song family for ruining his childhood life and memories. And she wouldn't allow them to destroy his present and future, either.
Looking at the members of the Cao family, who are smiling and talking happily to the other guests, Ran Xueyi had the thought of ripping their masks off and let everyone see the routine flesh beneath that respectable facade they created.
As for their intentions of forcing Song Yu Han to marry Cao Yujin, she was not worried.
The certificates were already exchanged and recorded. Unless they divorce, no one can intrude and dictate their marriage.
Now, can the Cao family force the Song family?
Will they be able to convince Song Yichen?
While Ran Xueyi was deeply thinking about it, the scent of cedar wood and bamboo mixed with the rich scent of cigarette distracted her.
No one knew when Cao Qing suddenly disappeared, but as soon as she raised her head, he was no longer standing beside her.
Instead, another man was there where he originally was.
It was the foreign-looking tall man from the smoking area.
When she saw him in the darkened corridor, his features weren't completely discernable. But now that he stood closer beside her and had all the lights coming from within the hall falling on his figure, the man's entire appearance became clearer.
He had an angular face, sharp jaw that looked seductive when he clenched it, a tall and pointed nose, and pair of cerulean eyes. He looked ethereal beyond any kind of imagination one could possibly think of.
But due to the mask that covered his left cheek up to his forehead, the rest of his face remained a mystery.
Ran Xueyi does not need to unravel the mystery.
"Is this your new hobby?" Ran Xueyi asked with her eyes staring intently at him.
The mysterious man chuckled and said, "Not a hobby. I'm hiding."
Ran Xueyi laughed. "From a desperate and determined suitor who turns out to be your enemy, too?"
"Add obsessed to that list," Song Yu Han sighed. "Sorry, I didn't tell you about this."
"Which one are you apologizing for?" she asked him again. "The disguise and not answering my calls or the fact that my husband might be forced to marry someone who is not me?"
"Song Yu Han, have I been too lenient and forgiving towards you?" Ran Xueyi added, cooly gazing at him. "Or is it that you think I wouldn't be angry for as long as I don't find out and you resolved everything?"
When Cao Qing was around, Ran Xueyi could still contain her anger. But now that Song Yu Han appeared, she could no longer continue being calm about all of this.
Sensing the danger and anger radiating from her, Song Yu Han intertwined his fingers with hers. Then, he explained, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just heard about their plans earlier, too."
Ran Xueyi wanted to pull her hand away, but the moment Song Yu Han felt her doing this, he tightly held hands with her and did not let go.
"Actually, I have some guesses on what they're planning to do. But I was unsure of how they'll achieve it without me agreeing to it." Song Yu Han could not wait to bring Ran Xueyi home and coax her, but with him in disguise as someone else, he could not do so. He could only do so much with this restriction. "And I also don't plan on hiding it from you. I wanted to tell you personally lest you misunderstand."
In all honesty, Song Yu Han knew that the Cao family were full of shameless people. But he couldn't foresee how thick their faces could be.
From the start, he had already expressed his refusal to marry into the Cao family or have any sort of relationship and involvement with them. Song Yu Han also did not hide his disgust and dislike towards them. On the contrary, he openly showcased it in public.
Yet, the Cao family seemed to suffer some short-term amnesia that they would forget about this and continue to pursue him.
It had been annoying him to no end, but the Cao family was not a simple enemy he could just topple without preparation.
Believe it or not, Song Yu Han would give his all and sacrifice his life if needed to take out the entire Cao family and the Song family. He would have done so if he was in his current state now in the past.
But now, he's a man with a beautiful and sweet wife and an over three-years old son, whom he loved to tease.
He couldn't just dive straight through the frontlines and battle without thinking of their safety and feelings.
Thus, the process of his revenge took a bit longer than he expected.
"As for my disguise, it's not mainly because I want to hide." Song Yu Han pinched her chin and tipped it slightly upward so she could look at his eyes. With a childish yet seductive grin, he said, "I want to impress you tonight."
To be honest, Ran Xueyi would be lying if she told him that she was not impressed by the sudden changes in his appearance.
She almost couldn't recognize him!
And of course, she could never tell him that she formed a slight crush on the man she met in the darkened corridor!
As It turns out, it was Song Yu Han all along.
What a dilemma!
