Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Tell Me, Does the Wound Really Hurt?

Ran Xiangsi knew right away that this guy was up to no good. She retorted unceremoniously, "Hurry up, or I’ll expose your fake marriage! By then, neither Lou Zhaonian nor the ’Emperor’s’ stocks will teach you what regret means!"

Even though they hadn’t spent much time together, Ran Xiangsi knew that this man was actually quite indulgent towards her, which is why she dared to speak to him in such a half-joking tone.

Listening to her, Xing Chen’s smile deepened, "If the fake marriage is exposed, won’t you be in trouble too? You can’t escape from Gu Beichuan here, and your good little sister isn’t any simple character either."

He had her weaknesses all figured out.

The marriage might be fake, but it was indeed beneficial to both sides.

If this balance is destroyed, no one will have a good outcome.

"You!" Ran Xiangsi clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and tried to balance her emotions.

Li Guoliang was about to meet Ran Zhonghai and the others. She had to get Xing Chen to make this call quickly, or it would be a small failure. If the matter was exposed, it would be utter chaos!

As the saying goes, "One must endure small hardships to achieve great plans," so for now, she decided not to quibble with this manipulative egomaniac...

Constantly engaging in mental self-talk, Ran Xiangsi tried to calm her emotions.

When she opened her eyes again, her face was already filled with a flattering smile.

She walked over and squatted beside him. She shook his arm that was resting on the chair’s armrest, softened her voice, and lowered herself, "Alright, alright, what do you want? Just make the call quickly, or it will be too late!"

Knowing Ran Xiangsi wouldn’t be able to resist, Xing Chen leaned back in his chair leisurely, watching her displeased yet pretending-to-flatter expression, feeling incredibly pleased...

"You..." Xing Chen began, about to state his condition, when he inadvertently saw a corner of white gauze under her long, straight hair as she turned her head.

Xing Chen stopped halfway through his sentence, making Ran Xiangsi anxious, "Speak up!"

Her voice brought him back to his senses. Xing Chen frowned suddenly, not wanting to trouble her further, and looked straight into her beautiful eyes.

"Tell me, does it hurt?"

"What?" Ran Xiangsi was taken aback, amused, "Your condition is to ask if my wound hurts?"

Xing Chen didn’t answer, and Ran Xiangsi took his silence as an affirmation.

She pouted reluctantly, "Does it hurt? It required several stitches on the head."

Although she pretended it didn’t bother her at all, it really did hurt.

Seeing her eyes turn lonely for a moment, Xing Chen’s heart felt as if it was pierced, the pain excruciating.

The injury was caused by Tan Xinjie.

After a brief silence, he said nothing more, took out his phone, and called Li Guoliang.

...

When Li Guoliang received Xing Chen’s call, he had just arrived in the lobby, and the manager was leading him to a private room.

After hanging up the call, Li Guoliang was utterly puzzled and had no choice but to ask Yue Nanshan, "What do you think Young Master Xing is up to? He asked me to come for a meal but told me not to reveal that he’s coming? And this matter can’t be discussed with the old officer. What’s going on?"
