The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 626 - Chapter 626 0616 Not able to or not daring

Chapter 626: 0616 Not able to or not daring? Chapter 626: 0616 Not able to or not daring? “What are you thinking about?” Fu Qiyuan asked softly when he saw her lost in thought.

Su Ran shook her head and got up from his embrace.

“It’s nothing. Dinner is ready; let’s go eat first!”

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiyuan also stood up from the sofa and took her hand to the dining room.

Elsewhere, on the return journey.

The assistant drove carefully while saying:

“Director Wen, the house is almost tidied up. The things inside are still as before. The curtains in the master bedroom and the decorations at the head of the bed have not arrived yet. They will take a few days to install. Do you have any other arrangements?”

Wen Jichen sat in the back seat without a word, the passing lights outside the car streaking over his handsome profile, while the other half of his face was hidden in the darkness of the car, his deep eyes becoming even darker and mysterious under the streetlights.

At the assistant’s words, a hint of an enigmatic smile curled up on his thin lips.

“Arrange for a few servants to take care of the cleanliness here.”

The assistant was somewhat confused by Wen Jichen’s reply, as from the tone of Director Wen, he seemed like he wouldn’t be moving here to live any time soon.

If that was the case, why clean up the Platinum Lanting house?

Moreover, he had never expected that the always strategic and enigmatic Director Wen would personally take charge of tidying up a house.

Even down to the smallest detail, doing it himself.

Even the curtains and knick-knacks, all were carefully selected by Director Wen himself, meticulous to a frightening degree.

Although he knew that Director Wen doted on Miss Xiner, he had never done so to this extent.

And the decoration style of Platinum Lanting didn’t seem to match Miss Xiner’s preferences.

That was strange!

Could it be that Director Wen intended to live here alone, without planning to bring Miss Xiner with him?

The assistant was full of curiosity, but curiosity was just that, and he dared not show it on his face.

He focused on driving and didn’t think about anything else.

In the following days, Su Ran and Fu Qiyuan became even busier, and the closer the award ceremony approached, the busier they got.

Sometimes they were so busy they didn’t even see each other for a whole day.

Su Ran even made fun of him for that, but Fu Qiyuan, contrary to his usual demeanor, just smiled and said nothing.

Su Ran knew him too well. He couldn’t possibly be so indifferent to her teasing. There must be some trick waiting for her.

So, in the next few days, whenever she saw him at home, she made sure to walk the other way as much as possible.

However, the man acted as if he hadn’t seen her, and nothing happened.

Gradually, Su Ran let down her guard.

With three days left until the award ceremony, Su Ran did not go to Country Y in advance like the other contestants. She left only one day for jet lag adjustment and planned to fly over tomorrow.

As a result, she didn’t go to the company today and stayed at home to pack her luggage.

After breakfast, however, Fu Qiyuan was still sitting calmly there, without any intention of going to work.

Su Ran put their bowls and dishes into the kitchen and came out to ask the man curiously.

“Aren’t you going to the office today?”

“Hmm, I’m not.”

Su Ran was a bit puzzled. He had been so busy in the past few days that he dealt with paperwork even on the way home. How had he suddenly become free?

After a moment of contemplation and without overthinking, she went back to her room to start packing.

It was only a matter of two or three days. After packing a few sets of clothes and some daily necessities, it seemed that there was nothing else to pack.

She checked her belongings again carefully and realized she was missing the data cable.

As she turned to go get her stuff, she saw the man standing in the doorway, looking at her leisurely.

Su Ran was startled for a moment and patted her chest with lingering fear, glaring at him with annoyance.

“You scared me to death. When did you come?”

Fu Qiyuan watched the girl’s petulantly helpless expression, his lips curving slightly, he stepped towards her and then he said:

“I’ve been here for a while.”

“Why didn’t you make a sound? I didn’t even notice.”

Fu Qiyuan looked at the girl dressed in casual home wear, her tall and slender figure outlined by her clothes, and laughed,

“It’s because you were too focused.”

The man approached her, looking at the suitcase on the carpet.

“Have you packed everything?”

Su Ran nodded, “Almost!”

With that, she tried to walk past the man to grab the data cable from the bedside table drawer.

But she had only taken one step, just as she reached the man’s side, when he caught her wrist in a swift motion, followed by a forceful tug. She staggered a step, and her body fell backwards.

Instinctively grabbing at the man’s clothes, he captured her waist with one hand, and both of them suddenly collapsed onto the soft bed.

For a few seconds, Su Ran was dazed. When she came to her senses and lifted her eyes, she was met with the man’s exceptionally handsome face at close range.

The room was brightly lit, the light reflecting on his angular face, dazzling and captivating.

Deep, perfect contour lines, a high nose bridge, and sharp, sensual lips–despite being accustomed to his face, having it so close still left a deep impact on her.

She blinked, looking at the man, puzzled.

“What are you doing?”

Fu Qiyuan watched her with a smile, his dark eyes brimming with a warm mirth.

“What do you think I’m doing?”

“I…” Su Ran lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes, instinctively wanting to deny it.

However, the man saw through her thoughts and spoke first.

“Weren’t you very arrogant the other day? Why are you backing down now?”

“Who’s backing down!”

Su Ran glared at him, feeling a surge of irritation.

She knew that the petty man wouldn’t let her off so easily.

She knew it all along.

Yet, she still convinced herself that nothing was wrong and lowered her guard.

And now, the man was here, waiting for her.

The indignation in her heart made her assert herself.

Fu Qiyuan’s throat released a low chuckle. His gaze dropped to the girl’s eyes, sparkling with anger, their lively spirit like a flame alight.

The corner of his thin lips curled into a faint arc, seductively enchanting.

Bending his head, he pecked her lips gently, his voice deep and sexy.

“Since you’re not backing down, you take the lead later.”

Su Ran’s eyelashes fluttered, her gaze somewhat evasive.

“I…”

Seeing this, Fu Qiyuan’s smile deepened on his lips.

“Are you still hesitant? Hm?”

Su Ran bit her lip and said nothing, but seeing the triumph and provocation in the man’s smile, frustration rushed over her. She couldn’t help but hit him on the chest.

“Fu Qiyuan, are you even a man? Do you have to be this petty in front of me?”

It was just a couple of teasing words, yet he made such a big deal out of it.

“Ha!”

At that, Fu Qiyuan couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.

“Sorry, when it comes to you, I am indeed petty, and I can’t be generous at all. As for whether I’m a man or not…”

Su Ran’s eyelashes trembled, and she had a feeling that what was to come would be quite dire.

Indeed…
