Ji Xuan suddenly wanted to take back what he had just said. Liang Ran didn’t know what propriety was.

“Zeng Hui was right about your appetite,” he said coldly.

Liang Ran knew that he had misunderstood and quickly explained, “I’m not asking you to give me the shares. The shares still belong to Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji only needs to entrust me to manage them. When we need to take sides at shareholders’ meetings, I hope Mr. Ji can stand on my side.”

Ji Xuan suddenly turned Liang Ran around to face him. Then, he looked at Liang Ran’s face carefully. “You chose to believe Fan Jin back then, but you were betrayed by him. Now, you chose me. Aren’t you afraid that I will follow Fan Jin’s example and take over the Liang Corporation bit by bit?”

“Mr. Ji won’t,” Liang Ran said firmly.

“How do you know I won’t?” Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows.

“Because Liang Corporation is not up to Mr. Ji’s taste, and I won’t make the same mistake twice. I failed with Fan Jin. I won’t fail with Mr. Ji again.”

Ji Xuan sneered. “I’m not Fan Jin. I won’t use his tricks. I…”

Liang Ran interrupted him. “Precisely, because Mr. Ji is not Fan Jin, so I believe Mr. Ji won’t.”

Ji Xuan pressed her head against his shoulder and closed his close while holding her

“Okay then.”

After a long time, Ji Xuan finally spoke.

Liang Ran’s lips curved upwards. She nestled in Ji Xuan’s shoulder and looked at him from the side, even able to see the fine hairs on his face from this angle.

Ji Xuan’s features were exquisitely perfect, and his skin was especially good, even better than many girls.

Some were truly lucky, with good backgrounds and natural advantages.

The car drove all the way up the mountain. The environment in the suburbs was much better than in the city. The air was fresher, but it was really inconvenient to travel.

Liang Ran looked at the scenery outside the window and asked, “Why did Mr. Ji choose to live here?”

“The environment in the city is too bad,” Ji Xuan frowned. “It’s very noisy.”

Liang Ran nodded in understanding. “But in this case, it’s very inconvenient to travel.”

“There’s a chauffeur to pick me up. Not inconvenient at all,” Ji Xuan said lightly.

Liang Ran pursed her lips and remained silent. While Ji Xuan had a chauffeur to pick him up, she didn’t, and she didn’t even have her own car. It was impossible to get a taxi at this place.

After a dozen minutes, the car stopped in front of a large courtyard.

Liang Ran was the first to get out of the car. As soon as she got out, she heard a sharp voice. “Who are you?”

Liang Ran rubbed her ears before looking at the woman who spoke. The woman was fashionable, wearing a form-fitting long dress that accentuated her impressive figure.

Before Liang Ran could speak, Ji Xuan had already gotten out of the car.

When the woman saw Ji Xuan, she stretched out her arm and rushed over, calling out, “Darling.”

Liang Ran was shocked and quickly stepped aside. Ji Xuan reacted quickly and stepped back as fast as he could.

The woman could not stop and fell forward. She almost fell on her face. She used her arms to support herself on the ground to avoid the tragedy of her face hitting the ground.

“Hiss~”

Liang Ran lightly exhaled, feeling sympathy for the woman’s knee, which was probably scraped and bleeding now.

The woman took a while to stand up. She turned around and looked at Ji Xuan with tears in her eyes.

“Xu Yan, what are you doing here?” Ji Xuan frowned.

Xu Yan pouted and walked towards Ji Xuan step by step, looking like a boneless person who was about to collapse onto Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan frowned and said coldly, “Stand straight and speak.”

Xu Yan pouted. “Darling, why are you so fierce? I came to look for you on purpose. Don’t you miss me?”

Ji Xuan’s face was cold. “Go back to where you came from. I don’t welcome you here.”

Xu Yan’s expression changed. She looked at Liang Ran, who had been silent, and suddenly reached out to grab her.

Liang Ran was originally focused on watching the show when Xu Yan suddenly rushed toward her. She did not have time to react. Fortunately, Ji Xuan acted quickly and held her waist, pulling her to the side.

Xu Yan looked at Ji Xuan’s hand around Liang Ran’s waist, and her eyes were about to pop out. “Who is she? Who is this vixen?”

Ji Xuan looked very impatient and said coldly, “It’s none of your business.”

Xu Yan pouted and her eyes reddened again. She looked at Ji Xuan pitifully. “Darling, have you forgotten that I’m your fiancée? How can you be so intimate with another woman?”

Liang Ran clicked her tongue in amazement. This was an expert at changing faces. One moment she was angry, and the next moment she was pitiful.
