The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 541 - Chapter 541 The description is very apt

Chapter 541: The description is very apt Chapter 541: The description is very apt Su Ran pouted and held out her palm in front of Fu Qiyuan.

“My hand hurts.”

Whether in tone or expression, she looked pitiful.

Fu Qiyuan quickly reached out to grasp her hand, inspecting it meticulously and seriously.

Seeing that her palm was indeed redder than usual, his deep eyes suddenly narrowed, a dangerous light swept across, and his voice was cold.

“Did they bully you?”

Su Ran watched the man’s expression, as if all she needed to say was “yes,”

and the mountains and rivers would be annihilated, turned into raging flames!

She tugged at the corner of her mouth slightly, pondering for two seconds.

“No.”

Fu Qiyuan’s gaze flashed, his chilly brows and eyes softened, and his thumb gently massaged her palm as he asked softly,

“Why does your hand hurt?”

Su Ran looked at him, aggrieved, “I slapped Xinyan.”

At her words, Fu Qiyuan’s face showed no ripple of emotion, still gently and patiently rubbing her palm with his gaze lowered.

In the light from outside the villa, Su Ran could still make out his long eyelashes.

“Did it hurt from slapping?”

Su Ran nodded, her starry eyes fixed on the handsome face of the man.

“Yeah, she was just asking for it, a slap that begged to be given, but I didn’t expect her face to be so thick.”

Fu Qiyuan curled his lips slightly and softly uttered three words.

“Her fault.”

Su Ran couldn’t help but chuckle softly, the curve of her lips wavering uncontrollably upward.

Fu Qiyuan looked up at her, and seeing the girl’s smile, he too smiled.

“What are you laughing at?”

Su Ran’s eyes were sparkling as she moved just a bit closer to him, the curve of her lips deepening.

“Fu Qiyuan, do you know what you look like right now?”

“Like what?”

Su Ran’s lips curved, “Like my crazy fan.”

Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow, “Crazy fan?”

Su Ran nodded, gazing at his face, and couldn’t help but laugh again at the thought that had struck her.

He really did resemble one!

“What’s a crazy fan?” Fu Qiyuan asked.

“A crazy fan is someone who pursues a person so fanatically that they lose all rationality, right is right, wrong is also right, cannot tolerate a bad word about them said by anyone, nor allow others to say it.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiyuan nodded in agreement.

“A very apt description!”

Su Ran looked at him with a face full of surprise, as though she had discovered a new continent.

“Don’t you think that’s terrible? It’s a kind of insane behavior.”

“There’s nothing wrong with it, I am your crazy fan.”

“…” Su Ran silently looked at him.

Fu Qiyuan, seeing the girl’s baffled expression, curved his lips gently and pulled her into his embrace.

“I have indeed lost my mind over you, a very fitting adjective,” the man said with an air of great satisfaction.

Su Ran couldn’t help but twitch her lips, “Then do you want to consider buying the rights to use it?”

Fu Qiyuan considered it briefly, pausing for two seconds.

“I can.”

Su Ran: “…”

“Does it still hurt?”

The man’s thumb was still on her palm, lightly pinching.

His warm breath sprayed on her eyelashes, and his low voice, with its alluring care, reached Su Ran’s ears, feeling fatally tender.

Su Ran’s eyelashes trembled, and she slightly averted her gaze.

“…It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Fu Qiyuan bowed his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

“Let’s go home then.”

“Okay.”

The man released her and started the engine, leaving the Su Family Villa.

–

Because she had to prepare for the competition, Su Ran hadn’t gone to the company for a few days.

After breakfast, as it was almost time to go to work, Fu Qiyuan still sat undisturbed in the living room.

“Aren’t you going to work today?”

She looked at the man, asking with curiosity.

Fu Qiyuan waved her over, “Mm, I’m resting today, staying at home to keep you company.”

Su Ran sat down beside the man and was immediately embraced in a warm hug.

“I’m fine, isn’t the company busy?”

Fu Qiyuan had been lazing around with her for several days; with a big company like the Fu Consortium, how could it function without a decision-maker?

“It’s fine, there’s Qin Feng.”

“…”

Inside, Su Ran said a silent prayer for Qin Feng. At that moment, she received a competition invitation from Gael.

She looked at the invitation and frowned slightly.

Apart from the venue, there was nothing else.

Usually, there would be an explanation of the competition rules or preparations, but this year, aside from the time and place, there was a blank.

Could it be that something unexpected was going to happen?

Fu Qiyuan touched her brows, causing Su Ran to look up instinctively, “What’s wrong?”

“What are you thinking about? Your eyebrows are almost knitted together.”

Su Ran put down her phone and leaned into his embrace, shaking her head.

“It’s nothing.”

The two rarely had such leisurely time like today. Fu Qiyuan had the Fu Consortium to manage, and ever since Qianran International had established a new brand, she too had been incredibly busy.

Having this downtime, they were somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Su Ran was contemplative, thinking about how to arrange today, when her phone, which she had just set aside, rang again.

Seeing the caller ID, she smiled softly and immediately answered.

“Zhichen.”

“Mm, Xiao Ran, the World Designer Competition is about to start, right?”

Ye Zhichen’s excited voice came through the phone, her calm tone barely concealing her excitement and joy.

Influenced by her words, Su Ran’s smile became a bit more genuine, “Mm.”

“How are your preparations going?”

“Don’t worry, there’s no problem.”

Ye Zhichen pursed her lips, “I’m thousands of times confident in you; it’s some other people I worry about. Xiao Ran, you must be very careful. The international competition scene is a mixed bag, and for that title, anything could happen, especially Su Xinyan. That woman will definitely try everything in her power to trip you up. It’s easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow, the villain!”

Ye Zhichen spoke with righteous indignation; the way she said it, she almost wished she could fly with Su Ran to Country Y and be her personal bodyguard.

Unfortunately, the competition rules barred her entry even if she went.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

Su Ran smiled, feeling a wave of emotion in her heart.

Every year, Zhichen would call to remind her of various things, pretending to be calm on the surface.

But in fact, she was even more nervous than Su Ran.

For Zhichen, Su Ran also didn’t want to lose on the international stage.

And this year, she had someone else by her side for whom she wanted to fight with all her might to win.

She glanced at Fu Qiyuan, only to see the man staring at her, his gaze seeming to never leave her for a moment.

“So when are you going to Country Y? What time is your flight?”

Ye Zhichen let out a sigh of relief, and her tone became lighter.

“Tomorrow afternoon at three.”

“Good, I will see you off at the airport.”

“The weather is quite hot, no need to come and see me off, I’ll be fine.”

As soon as Su Ran finished speaking, Ye Zhichen’s eager voice came through the phone.

“That won’t do, I won’t feel at ease until I’ve personally seen you off at the airport. It’s been like this every year. Is it because you’ve got Mr. Fu now that you don’t need me anymore?”
