Chapter 162: Chapter 104 Follow Me

Ran Yan sat quietly in the corridor, furrowing her brows in thought for a long time before she slowly lifted her head and said to Ran Yunsheng, "Yunsheng, I cannot marry him."

Whether Sang Chen admitted to being a descendant of the Boling Cui family or not, outsiders believed it to be true; thus, the gold-lettered signboard above his head still shone brightly.

It wasn’t that Ran Yan was unappreciative, but she was responsible for her own life and the lives of others. Sang Chen was a good person and although he often enraged her, she hadn’t the heart to hurt him. Ran Yan hadn’t truly loved anyone in her past or present life, though she had secretly admired many. She knew very well the type of man she liked; being with Sang Chen out of obligation would only cause harm to both of them.

"Ah Yan..." Ran Yunsheng called her name but looked towards Madam Xing, meaning for her to quickly persuade Ran Yan.

Seeing Madam Xing nod, Ran Yunsheng said, "Think it over seriously, I’ll be heading back now."

Ran Yunsheng sighed. In fact, it was extremely difficult to disagree with this marriage. What kind of family was the Boling Cui family? Besides the Imperial Family’s Li clan and the Clan Leader’s Sun clan, the Boling Cui clan was effectively the top clan! With such an opportunity landing in the hands of the Ran family, the uncle and the elders would not let it go, even if it meant tying Ran Yan up and carrying her in a bridal sedan.

"Let me escort you; this area isn’t safe!" Ran Yan stood up and said.

Ran Yunsheng chuckled, "What are you saying? If I let you escort me out, wouldn’t I worry when you return later? Don’t worry, I have a dozen guards with me."

"Then please go back soon, Yunsheng. The later it gets, the more worried I’ll be," Ran Yan urged. A dozen guards might seem a lot, but against a master assassin like Su Fu, even twenty would be useless.

After seeing Ran Yunsheng off, Madam Xing approached hoping to sincerely persuade Ran Yan.

Ran Yan understood her intentions and waved her off saying, "Let’s talk about it tomorrow; I am tired."

Having said that, she went straight into her bedroom. Madam Xing sighed, thinking that there was no rush, and that it could indeed wait until the next day, so she let her be.

Madam Xing knew that Ran Yan was feeling distressed, so after helping her to bed, they didn’t disturb her and went about their own tasks before resting.

Ran Yan lay on the bed with her eyes closed for a while but still felt no sleepiness. She donned her satin dress and opened the back window to look at the jade orchid garden bathed in moonlight.

It was early August, and the jade orchids were blooming more profusely. As she opened the window, the fresh fragrance immediately rushed towards her, carrying the chill of autumn, soothing the agitation in Ran Yan’s heart.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, dimly lighting the night. Only the vague white of the distance was visible, the shadows of the trees swaying as if evil demons brandishing their claws. Occasionally, insect chirps broke the eerie silence.

Ran Yan poured herself a glass of water and knelt by the window for a long time, feeling slightly sleepy before reaching to close the window and lying back down. Just as she closed her eyes, a sudden breeze touched her cheek. Startled, she opened her eyes and met a pair of deep blue, chilling gaze.

He was clad in black, hanging upside down from the roof beam. His sculpted features, though shrouded in darkness, appeared profound and mysterious, yet still breathtakingly handsome.

"Su Fu." Ran Yan saw him seem to curve his lips, albeit very subtly, but she didn’t miss it.

"Such audacity." Su Fu’s voice was icy as he stared straight at her,"Do you know there was someone just outside the window just now? If he wished, he could have barged in and killed you at any moment."

"Who was it?" Ran Yan had felt a hint of it earlier—not a real detection, but an instinct about danger.

"I don’t know." Su Fu dropped from the roof beam and stood beside the bed, looking down at her, "Are you getting married?"

Ran Yan might have been mistaken, but Su Fu’s usually cold voice seemed to carry an indescribable undertone, subtle, like a tiny ripple in a still pond.

"How did you know?" Ran Yan stared into his eyes, unwilling to miss even a slight emotional flicker.

As Su Fu knelt down, his wide robe elegantly drifted in the air, creating beautiful curves before slowly settling on the floor. "It’s not difficult as long as I want to know. But when that man personally carried a big bundle and knocked on the Ran residence’s door, I really didn’t guess he was there to propose."

Ran Yan’s forehead twitched, and she abruptly sat up on the bed, glaring fiercely at Su Fu, her voice steady, "Don’t talk to me about
