Jiang Bangyuan had been standing behind Bai Ran. From her vantage point, it seemed blatantly obvious that Quan Rui and Bai Ran were kissing.

She was shocked beyond imagination to catch her fiancé with another woman.

Jiang Bangyuan’s tiny face instantly turned pale. She stood rooted to the spot, eyes flashing with indignation, watching the couple locked in a passionate embrace on the lawn. Her heart sped up at the scene before her.

At that moment, with the moon shining down on them, the couple looked oddly…compatible!

Upon hearing Jiang Bangyuan’s voice, Bai Ran snapped back to reality.

She immediately realized what had happened and tilted her body back in an attempt to move away from the man pressed against her.

The only thing she wanted to do today was to find her ring and leave.

She never intended to cause trouble or make a scene.

As Bai Ran tried to free herself, Quan Rui pressed against her again and conveniently extended his broad palms and wrapped them around her waist.

With just a slight force, he pulled her back to his chest.

In Bai Ran’s moment of surprise, Quan Rui had already moved close to her ear and muttered softly in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

“Listen to me, and nobody will ever bully you again. I can also help you find what you were searching for on the lawn.”

He intentionally lowered his voice; every single word he used pushed the right buttons for Bai Ran.

Quan Rui had overheard something Jiang Yueping had said earlier when they were walking toward the villa.

For the time being, based on that short exchange, Quan Rui had ascertained two vital pieces of information about Bai Ran.

First, the sisters of the Jiang Family had been bullying her because she was Old Master Jiang’s illegitimate daughter.

Second, she urgently needed to recover the lost ring.

He could help her with both matters.

But Bai Ran was on to Quan Rui. She heard what he whispered and wondered why he would want to help her.

“That won’t be necessary,” she said flatly, rejecting his offer without further ado.

She was thinking of the adage, “There’s no such thing as a ‘free lunch’ in this world.” When a dangerous person like Quan Rui offers to help me, I shudder to think how horrifying his motive might be.

After politely rejecting Quan Rui’s offer, Bai Ran broke free of his grip and dusted off her palms before standing up.

Quan Rui didn’t stop her. His lips merely curled into a half-smile as he watched the obstinate behavior of the girl standing before him. Without hurrying, he brushed himself off and tidied up his appearance.

Nothing he wanted ever slipped through his fingers.

Quan Rui fiddled with the button on the cuff of his left sleeve while he answered the question Jiang Bangyuan had asked earlier.

“Didn’t you see? We were kissing.”

His voice, clear as a stream flowing through a deserted valley, was refreshing and pleasing to the ear.

He was casual as though he were talking about daily domestic trivia, yet he spoke in such a serious manner that everyone could tell he meant what he said. He wasn’t joking around.

No wonder everyone was aghast when they heard his offhanded remark.

…Especially Bai Ran, who felt she’d been publicly humiliated and mistreated.

Her eyes widened, and she stared at the tall man who stood erect behind her. She wondered if she could have misheard him.

“What kiss? We didn’t even come into contact!”

“What does he mean by saying such a thing in front of the two sisters of the Jiang Family?

“Is he intentionally causing trouble with me in front of everyone?”

Bai Ran glared at Quan Rui. Just when she was about to say something, Jiang Yueping, who had remained silent all this time, snatched at the opportunity to speak.

Jiang Yueping pointed at Bai Ran and instantly hopped next to Jiang Bangyuan before testifying angrily, “Eldest Sister! This wretched ho must have seduced brother-in-law! She completely disrespected you!”

Jiang Yueping was undoubtedly an expert in stirring up trouble. A few words from her was all it took to place all the blame on Bai Ran.
