The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 590 - Chapter 590 0580 Nightmare

Chapter 590: 0580 Nightmare Chapter 590: 0580 Nightmare Exquisite features and deep, dark eyes that revealed no emotion.

The meeting was tense at all times.

And at this moment, the private phone on the table began to ring.

The “buzzing” sound was especially clear in the quiet conference room.

He slightly furrowed his brow, a flash of coldness passing through his ink-dark eyes.

A casually thrown glance made the executives across the ocean immediately sit up straight and tense up.

Then, under the shocked gazes of everyone, he slowly slid his finger across the answer button and answered the call.

“Young Master?”

The moment the phone was connected, Aunt Sun’s voice came through.

“What’s the matter?”

Fu Qiyuan’s voice was indifferent. Aunt Sun knew his rules well, she wouldn’t call him without good reason.

“Miss Xiao Ran has returned…”

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiyuan glanced at the time, which hadn’t yet reached the end of the workday.

The light in his eyes gradually sank.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know, Miss Ran went straight to her room as soon as she came back, and judging by her tone, she didn’t seem to be in good spirits.”

Fu Qiyuan’s brows tightened slightly.

After pondering for a while, Aunt Sun still cautiously spoke up.

“Young Master, today is the wedding day of Miss Ran’s younger sister. Miss Ran also attended the event. Could it be that she was bullied by those people?”

No wonder Aunt Sun had this thought– in her eyes, no matter how capable Su Ran was, she was still a fragile girl, certainly no match for the predators of the Su Family.

Fu Qiyuan’s eyes turned completely cold.

“I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, with a slight lift of his eyes, his icy gaze shot straight towards the projection screen opposite him.

A quick scan made everyone on the screen break out in a nervous sweat.

The executives secretly swallowed, unsure whose call it was, but after President Fu took that call, he became even more intimidating!

As everyone wore a bitter expression, silently lamenting their misfortune, the man’s deep, cold voice slowly rose–

“Meeting adjourned.”

Um…

Huh?

Dismissed?

They didn’t hear wrong, did they?

Everyone was sitting up straight, ready for a potential scolding, only to hear the sound of liberation.

Fu Qiyuan picked up the coat on his chair, leaving behind a group of higher-ups looking at each other in puzzlement as he hurriedly left the office.

This made everyone even more curious–who had called during the meeting, able to pull President Fu away.

And they would break their heads guessing and still not realize that it wasn’t the call that pulled Fu Qiyuan away.

It was the person mentioned in the call.

–

Fu Qiyuan’s car was speeding, and in half an hour, it arrived at Platinum Lanting.

The car stopped abruptly in the yard, making a piercing noise.

As he walked into the villa, Aunt Sun immediately greeted him.

“Young Master.”

“Is she still in her room?”

Aunt Sun’s face showed concern.

“Yes, she hasn’t come out since she entered the room.”

Fu Qiyuan, with a solemn face, nodded and went upstairs.

After Su Ran returned to her room, she freshened up briefly, pulled back the covers, and lay down.

In the covers, there was the pleasant and comforting scent of the man, making her feel particularly at ease.

A heavy and oppressed heart gradually relaxed, and the exhaustion between the brows slowly welled up.

Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.

In her dreams, Su Ran’s brows were tightly furrowed, her entire demeanor extremely uneasy.

She clenched the blanket tightly with both hands, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

In the dream, the streets were bustling with traffic and sounded with lively noise.

Everyone’s face bore a happy and joyful smile, except for hers, which felt as though it had plunged into an ice hole.

She held the blood-covered body of Yaosang Qianyue in her arms. No matter how she called out, her mother showed no response.

Her hands trembled, her whole body shook, because just a moment ago, she had seen with her own eyes, her mother open the car door and jump out while the car was speeding along.

Due to the high speed, her body rolled several times on the ground.

The ground was covered in blood flowing from her mother’s body.

In an instant, she froze.

The blood in her veins turned ice-cold, devoid of any warmth.

Her legs, as if rooted to the spot, refused to move no matter how hard she tried.

Tears burst forth without warning, and a stifling sensation in her chest made it impossible to breathe.

She stared blankly at her mother lying on the ground, all vibrancy disappeared in an instant.

There was no hint of life left!

Fu Qiyuan stood by the bedside, his handsome face helpless, his inscrutable dark eyes filled with a gentle emotion.

He slowly undid his shirt’s cufflinks, then bent down to sit at the edge of the bed.

The mattress dipped on one side, and at that moment, Su Ran’s expression began to grow agitated, her chest heaving, her hands tightly pulling on the blanket.

Her face showed unbearable pain, her lips quivering, yet no sound came out.

Seeing this, Fu Qiyuan’s face changed color in fright.

“Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, wake up! Wake up!”

In her sleep, Su Ran heard Fu Qiyuan’s voice, his crisp breath forcefully penetrating her nose.

However, her eyelids were heavy, no matter how she tried, she couldn’t open her eyes.

She was trapped in a nightmare, trying to escape, but she could not break free.

Fu Qiyuan sat by the bed, watching Su Ran who still hadn’t woken up. His complexion was pale, his black eyes filled with nervousness and panic.

Gone was his usual demeanor of calm control, unshaken even when faced with great crisis.

He stood up, kneeling on one knee on the bed, slightly leaning over to scoop her into his arms.

In that moment, he clearly felt the girl’s frail body tremble non-stop.

A pang of heartache surged through him, causing him to hold her tighter.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here… Xiao Ran, don’t be afraid!”

The man’s deep voice, resonant like a cello, seemed filled with magic, reverberating beside her ear.

The next moment, it miraculously calmed her down.

The trembling of her body gradually ceased, the agonized expression on her face began to fade away, and her brows started to smooth out.

Her eyes were heavy, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and yet, they opened slowly and weakly.

Before her eyes was the man’s solid and secure chest, which eased the suffocating discomfort in her heart.

She slowly raised her hand, encircling the man’s trim waist.

“Ah Yuan…”

Her voice was hoarse and weak, soft and feeble.

Fu Qiyuan’s body stiffened for a moment, then he looked down to see the girl looking at him with bright eyes, gazing steadily at him.

The heavy weight his heart had carried finally settled.

At that moment, Fu Qiyuan actually felt a surprising sense of relief as if he had regained something precious.

“You’re awake?”

He hugged her tightly to his chest, his hands that clung to her waist trembling slightly.

He truly could not imagine what he would become if he ever lost the person in his arms.

He hoped to never again experience the kind of void and desolate fear he felt just a moment ago!
