Since they were looking out for each other, it was inevitable that their eyes met. Quan Rui’s deep-set eyes sized her up disapprovingly.

Bai Ran did not cower under the intensity of his gaze. She merely stared right back at him while he continued to size her up and likewise began to scrutinize his expression.

“Mr. Quan, please return my ring to me.” Bai Ran stood up to show slightly more politeness than she felt.

However, her tone was aggressive.

“I am the original owner of the ring and I would like to have it returned to me immediately.

“A person of Quan Rui’s status who likes to take advantage of other people’s circumstances…”

Quan Rui pretended not to have heard what Bai Ran said. He walked over and sat down on the sofa across from her, his eyes still watching her every move. Seemingly at ease, he crossed his long, slender legs and sank into the soft sofa with a lazy sigh.

“Why don’t you want to be part of the Jiang Family? Your name should have been Jiang Yuexi, not Bai Ran.”

Quan Rui found himself quite bothered about whether Bai Ran would be willing to reinstate herself as a member of the Jiang Family or not.

Ultimately for him, there were certain things he could only achieve with her if she was once again a member of the Jiang Family.

Bai Ran was unaware of what Quan Rui had in mind.

She was absolutely uninterested in this topic. “I have never belonged to the Jiang Family. Mr. Quan, please give my ring back to me.”

“Aren’t you interested in obtaining the assets or the possessions of the Jiang Family at all? You are also Jiang Yuanshan’s daughter, and you have all the legal rights to the inheritance as well. Based on my sources of information, your father had passed away abruptly and did not even leave behind a will.” Quan Rui continued to ignore Bai Ran’s persistence regarding the ring and only discussed what he wanted to know.

Since she was directly concerned, Bai Ran was thoroughly aware of this matter.

Her father had not written a will, and as his biological daughter, she should have been a part of the family.

As the first in line for succession, she also had the legal rights to the inheritance.

However…

“I don’t give a damn,” Bai Ran snorted coldly. All she cared about in the Jiang Family was the man whom she had called her father.

Other than that, the things he owned, the money he had, everything else had nothing to do with her.

For the past few years, although Bai Ran would return to the Jiang Family occasionally to visit her father, she spent the majority of her time with her mother. They lived outside the Jiang Family’s residence and led mundane and ordinary lives.

“You’re really obstinate, aren’t you?” Quan Rui chuckled and narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly. He began to take a keen interest in the bedraggled woman standing across from him…

This was the exact moment that Quan Rui noticed Bai Ran was still wearing her drenched dress, dripping muddy water on the floor of his living room.

Bai Ran’s dress was totally soaked through. As a result, it clung to her body and her light-colored bralette could be seen vaguely through the translucent fabric.

“She is soaked from crawling all over the lawn in the rain. Why didn’t she change out of her wet clothes?”

Quan Rui frowned and pursed his lips with displeasure.

“Why didn’t you take a shower?” he demanded with a note of severity in his voice.

“That’s not necessary,” Bai Ran objected immediately. “I only came after you to retrieve my ring.”

“Take a shower first.” Quan Rui was unrelenting.

“Health is your most important priority, Bai Ran. All these other things can be discussed later on.”

“It’s really not necessary, Mr. Quan. Also, my ring is nothing valuable. Someone of your status can have anything in the world, surely you don’t intend to pocket my cheap old ring?” Bai Ran was also running low on patience.

She could not, for the life of her, understand why he would want to hold on to something that obviously belonged to her.

“What’s more! After taking my ring, he’s actually trying to order me around in such a calm and arrogant manner!

“This situation doesn’t make any sense at all!”

The frown on Quan Rui’s face deepened slowly as Bai Ran shook her head obstinately.

Tilting his chin at her from afar, he threatened menacingly, ” Either you take shower on your own or I’ll help you with it.”

“Y-You!” Bai Ran was momentarily stunned. “Mr. Quan, I don’t understand what you’re trying to do! What is that supposed to mean?”

“I’ll return the ring to you after you take a shower,” Quan Rui said this carefully as if talking to a child who had trouble understanding. It was extremely irritating to Bai Ran.
