An Ran's face turned pale, her hand trembled, and the suit she was holding fell to the floor. She bent down to pick up the suit, took a deep breath, and gathered the courage to explain, "I was also set up that day..."
Fu Lengyu slapped her in the face, and a hot pain spread across her cheek. She was thrown onto the sofa, shivering in fear.
"Don't explain to me! If it weren't for you, Ran Yu wouldn't have had an accident!" Fu Lengyu suppressed his anger.Looking at Fu Lengyu, An Ran was both scared and wronged, covering her burning cheek.
An Ran raised her head stubbornly, "I never thought of plotting against you! I said..."
Her clear eyes were full of defiance, but Fu Lengyu remained indifferent, "If you want to see your mother, it's best to shut up. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to see her!"
An Ran's face turned pale with fear, struggling to stand up and question him, "You promised to let me see my mother! Are you going back on your word?"
Fu Lengyu unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his elegant and sexy collarbone under the light, "That depends on your performance."
An Ran was scared by his suggestive gaze and took a few steps back.
She closed her eyes and thought of her mother's weak body. In order to see the person she wanted to see, she restrained the humiliation in her heart and took the initiative to help him unbutton his shirt. She even prepared the bathtub in the bathroom and his pajamas, all of which were taught to her by the butler before they left for Switzerland.
Watching Fu Lengyu no longer angry, An Ran's nerves were still stretched to the limit.
The two lay on the same bed, and An Ran's heart skipped abeat when she saw that Fu Lengyu was still awake. It was not because of love, but more because of fear and unease.
"When...when will you take me to see my mother?"
Fu Lengyu remained silent as An Ran cautiously raised her voice and repeated her question.
After a brief moment with his eyes closed, Fu Lengyu opened them again, his icy gaze making An Ran feel intimidated.
"If you don't shut up, you won't see your mother this time!" he warned.
The next day, An Ran, who was still jet-lagged, went sightseeing in Switzerland with Fu Lengyu and Terri at Terri's invitation. They visited famous tourist attractions, but An Ran had no interest in the scenery. She just wanted to see her mother as soon as possible.
Also on the trip was Ante, who had been paying attention to her all along. Seeing An Ran's absent-mindedness, he asked politely, "Miss An, is there something on your mind? If so, feel free to tell me. I'm a good listener."
An Ran actually disliked Ante because the way he looked at her was definitely not harmless or innocent.
She was very aware of what that kind of suggestive gaze meant. "It's nothing, Mr. Ante. You don't have to worry about me," she replied calmly.Ante tried to touch her hand several times, but An Ran calmly avoided him.
After being rejected several times, Ante lost interest and started chatting with Terri's wife instead. "You look very pretty in the dress you're wearing today. I like you in red," he said.
"I didn't wear a red dress because you think it looks good. I wore it for myself! Ante, you smooth talker, don't even think about trying to seduce me!" Mrs. Terri retorted.
"Hahaha, it's up to you whether you want to be seduced by me... I think you're very willing to be seduced by me!" Ante joked.
They bantered back and forth, but watching their intimate little interactions made An Ran feel uncomfortable all over.
She couldn't help but ask in a low voice when Fu Lengyu and Terri Lee stopped chatting, "Are all foreigners so open-minded?" She had never thought that foreigners could be so... open-minded when she was abroad before. Open-minded enough for a wife to flirt with another man in front of her husband? Although she asked in a low voice, Terri Lee, who was always watching Fu Lengyu, heard it.
He explained with a smile, "My wife and I have been friends with Ante since we were young. It's just a joke, and our customs are different from yours." It was indeed different... Looking at Terri Lee's sweet smile, An Ran felt that she had thought too much. They returned to the mansion, whereTerri Lee personally prepared dinner. The steak was particularly good, but before either of the guests could praise it, Ante had already started to compliment it.
The cheesy compliments were endless, and An Ran felt goosebumps all over her body. On the third day, Fu Lengyu and Terri Lee went to the company, apparently to visit some intelligent production lines. She and Terri Lee, as well as Ante, did not go. The fewer people who knew about the business secrets, the better. Ante was just being lazy and found an excuse to stay behind because he had already seen it.
An Ran was thinking about her mother and was walking around the fountain when she ran into Ante. Ante was chatting with a maid, teasing her with something that made her blush. An Ran instinctively turned her head to leave. Ante noticed her first and strode up to block Anran who was trying to leave. He fixed his naked gaze on her delicate face and said, "Miss An, why are you leaving as soon as you see me? Am I some kind of man-eating monster that scares you?"
As he spoke, he had already put his hand on Anran's shoulder. Anran felt uneasy all over and tried to step back to avoid his touch.
However, Ante did not give her the chance.
"Miss An, I am a very gentlemanly man. Don't be afraid of me. Give me a chance to show you my gentlemanly demeanor!"
As he spoke, he took advantage of Anran's unpreparedness and pounced on her, holding her tightly in his arms!Anran was frightened and panicked, struggling desperately. "What are you doing? Let me go! Are you crazy?"
