Qu Ranran looked at Guan Hao's hot and intense eyes with excessive fright, and her chest heaved violently with fear.
She had been so close to him, and she knew exactly what it contained in the fire that suddenly arose in his eyes...
"You..." Qu Ranran stared at her clear eyes with panic, forgetting to struggle, and became incoherent due to strained breathing.
Guan Hao grabbed Qu Ranran's head and pressed his lips against hers.
"Well..." Qu Ranran's eyes opened even wider, and she felt dazed for a second.
Guan Hao took advantage of her stunned moment to pry open her shell teeth and drove in.
He is like a hungry beast that catches its prey and is unwilling to let go.
Not allowing her to flinch even a little bit, he held her hand tightly, forcing her to cooperate with him...
Tossing and turning, sucking, and entangling her wantonly, she was like a helpless deer, forced by him to have nowhere to hide...
The overbearing and familiar aura of the past surrounded her whole body, and so many past memories with him played in her mind like a slide show as they talked about each other...
Because of the memories, her body gradually softened...
He let her go quickly and stared at her with burning eyes.
Qu Ranran's face turned red due to the heat from his body, her eyes were still wide open as she stared at him blankly.
He looked into her eyes, and his magnetic voice came out with a forbearing low tone, "Stay with me for one night, and I'll forget about the 'QCS' thing."
The memory stopped abruptly when he said these words...
She stared at him, and what she saw was his scorching eyes full of heat and desire, but the light emanating from such scorching polish was full of coldness.
Such coldness connected to the fragile part of her heart, causing an inexplicable sourness to immediately overflow in her chest...
She glanced at him steadily, pushed him away quickly, and turned around.
However, the moment she turned around, he had already carried her to the bedside at lightning speed, pushed her down on the bed, and his strong body was already pressing on her twisting body.
Qu Ranran struggled hard, but his body was so heavy that she couldn't move at all, and her hands couldn't be firmly pressed on the bed by him...
Without looking at him, he looked directly at her burning eyes. She tilted her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Let me go, Guan Hao!!"
Guan Hao let go of her hand that was eager to break away, and gently held her face with his hands, looking at her with his deep black eyes.
Qu Ranran began to hit him crazily, using all his strength, but in the end it was all in vain.
Guan Hao seemed to feel no pain and kept staring at her.
Qu Ranran was finally exhausted and had no strength. She tilted her head, feeling an inexplicable grievance in her heart that made her eyes slightly red.
He stretched out his hand to straighten her face and looked at the transparent tears that were faintly slipping out of the corners of her eyes. He gently wiped them away with his thumb and spit out slowly, "Why are you so afraid of me?"
Qu Ranran's eyes were already blurry, and she could not see his expression clearly in the blurred field of vision.
He lowered his head, kissed her gently on the lips, as if caring, and asked softly, "Are you really not nice to you?"
At this moment, tears fell more violently from Qu Ranran's eyes...
Guan Hao once again wiped away the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Stop crying..."
The way he looked at her seemed to be back to the past, so gentle and doting...
Guan Hao suddenly smiled, "Do I feel like I want to eat you?"
The tears were wiped away by him, and she could clearly see the expression on his face. It was indeed the same as the voice he spoke at this moment, that kind of caring...
He stood up at this moment and loosened his hold on her.
She stood up and jumped out of bed. Before leaving, she said, "I did what you asked me to do. I hope you can fulfill your words."
Guan Hao narrowed his eyes, still smiling slightly, but with a hint of evil, "Really? My request seems to be that you stay with me for the night."
Qu Ranran was annoyed and said, "Guan Hao!!"
"Don't worry, I just want to sleep... If I really wanted you to do something, do you think I would let you go just now?"
Qu Ranran was immediately speechless.
Guan Hao turned around and walked to the bathroom.
Qu Ranran was at a loss, "Hey..."
Guan Hao turned his back to her and spat out, "I'm tired. I want to take a bath and rest. You can come with me or wait until I finish washing before going. But if you want to leave while I'm taking a bath, I advise you to give up."
This thought."
…
When Qu Ranran came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, the lights in the room had been dimmed.
The room was filled with the fresh scent of each other's showers, which smelled inexplicably good.
Through the dim light coming from outside, she could see that he was already lying on the bed...
She didn't know if he had fallen asleep, but she was glad that the light was on, which avoided a lot of embarrassment...
She walked to the bed and lay down on the other side where he slept, her breathing a little tense.
However, she was facing away from him, so after lying down and finding no movement from him, her nervous mood gradually calmed down.
However, when she put down her worries and closed her eyes, preparing to force herself to sleep, he suddenly hugged her.
Qu Ranran's breathing suddenly tightened, and she turned around suddenly to look at him.
He still had his eyes closed, but his arms were across her waist.
Qu Ranran tried to pull his arm away, but found that he simply refused to let go.
She had no choice but to let him go. Fortunately, he just hugged her and made no other moves.
Qu Ranran gradually ignored him, turned sideways, with her back to him, and closed her eyes again.
Gradually, she heard his even breathing from behind, and she knew he was asleep...
She didn't know why, but after he fell asleep, she slowly opened her eyes because she couldn't sleep.
He hugged her very tightly, close to her, just like when he held her to sleep before...
This position is very warm, and it was also her favorite position. In the past, as long as he held her to sleep like this, she could sleep soundly, and the feeling of having him beside her was so satisfying.
She turned around very gently and looked at him.
The light coming through the window faintly illuminated his handsome features. She looked at him, and sourness rose to the tip of her nose.
She could finally understand why it was so difficult for him to let go of his hatred and be with her...
Because to make such a choice, he is destined to give up some things he cares about.
And for her, he gave up the mother he cared about most...
No matter who was the instigator of his father's death, his mother would not want to see him with her...
However, he, who had always been so filial, still went against her mother's wishes and chose to be with her without hesitation.
And she once kept saying that the grudges of the previous generation should not be blamed on our generation, and she had always persuaded him to give up grudges and move from darkness to sunshine, but when she faced hatred herself, she failed to do it...
She is selfish.
It's a pity that she didn't understand this truth at the time. It wasn't until she lost it that she realized how precious what she once had was.
However, if she was asked to choose again, she might still be unable to make a choice - because she could never pretend that her father's death had not happened.
She knew that losing her child was God's punishment for her...
She wanted to explain to him so many times, but when she thought about it, explanations were unnecessary. She had given up the chance to be with him. Even if she explained clearly, it would only add to the pain of each other...
Over the past eight years, he has been really tired...
Mrs. Qiao has a saying that is right. Any woman in this world is more suitable for him than her. He should stay away from his gloomy life and choose a girl who can bring him real sunshine. But she will only make it impossible for him to leave forever.
Out of darkness...
------------------------------------------------
She didn't know when she fell asleep last night, but it was still very early when she woke up, only eight in the morning.
She never thought that he had already gotten up when she woke up, but the residual heat on the bed showed that he had just left...
She sat up and stared blankly at the empty seat next to her for a long time. Suddenly, she jumped out of bed and rushed to the window to open the curtains.
What a coincidence, in the parking lot in front of the hotel, she saw him bending down and getting into the car...
She was very useless, tears flowed down like that, and she could only cover her mouth tightly.
His car flew away in her sight...
She kept watching the car disappear before she stopped sobbing and forced herself to open her eyes wide to suppress the gathering of tears.
…
But after washing up in the bathroom, when Qu Ranran came out, except for her slightly red eyes, she could no longer see anything unusual.
After leaving the hotel, she quickly took a taxi and rushed to "qcs".
Because it was rush hour for work, the car was stuck in a traffic jam in New York City for a long time. By the time Qu Ranran arrived at "qcs", it was almost ten o'clock.
As soon as she walked into the "qcs" headquarters, Manager Chen hugged her...
"Ran Ran, you guessed so accurately, a miracle really happened today..."
Qu Ranran was so deep in thought that she didn't hear clearly what Manager Chen said for a while, "Huh?"
Manager Chen took Qu Ranran's hand and said excitedly, "Did you know? Director Lin sent the last draft to 'Haotian' this morning. Who knew, it didn't take long for 'Haotian' to respond,
It is said that the design has been approved..."
"Really?" Qu Ranran pretended to be surprised.
Manager Chen nodded vigorously, "Director Lin said that there is no need to pursue the matter this time. We can return to New York at any time..."
"Um!!"
"It's great. Finally, I don't have to stay here to scold you anymore... Ranran, let's go shopping in the afternoon!"
"Okay, last time I came here I couldn't go shopping in New York because of Dr. Qiao. I have a lot of things I want to buy..."
"Then it's settled!"
…
afternoon.
Qu Ranran and Manager Chen, carrying large and small bags, sat tiredly in the outdoor cafe to rest.
Manager Chen took a sip of water and sighed, "The matter has been resolved, I feel really good..."
Qu Ranran also took a sip of water, smiled and nodded.
Manager Chen asked doubtfully, "Tell me, the design has never been approved, so why did it pass today? I don't think the design is particularly good. I heard that Guan Hao is smart and wise, so how could he be so stupid that he likes it?"
What about such a design?”
Qu Ranran said leisurely, "Maybe the big shots have different opinions than us? I saw no flaws in this design. It's pretty good, simple and elegant."
Manager Chen nodded, "That's right... our 'qcs' products are always produced, and they must be high-quality products. Mr. Guan will never go wrong by choosing us!"
"Um."
"By the way, Ran Ran, I couldn't sleep last night and wanted to find you, but you didn't open the door after knocking for a long time. Didn't you spend the night in the hotel last night?"
"Well, I had a friend from New York chatting with me last night. I went out and didn't come back until very late."
Manager Chen frowned in confusion, "Come back very late? But I knocked on the door to call you this morning, but you didn't respond."
"I……"
Manager Chen chuckled, "You little girl, you still want to hide this from me? Tell me honestly, did a male friend date you last night, and then you went to the hotel... and then you were with him in the hotel?
Stayed one night.”
Qu Ranran was embarrassed, "Manager, your association skills are so good!"
Manager Chen snorted, "You didn't change your clothes last night, and you still have some masculine scent..."
Qu Ranran quickly smelled her clothes, "Is there any?"
The smile on Manager Chen's face was bright, "Looking at your reaction, I know I guessed it right... Haha, Ran Ran, how far have you developed with him?"
"Where is he..."
"Okay, okay, I know you are thin-skinned, so I won't talk about this anymore..."
…
At the same time.
Chen Lin walked in with a cup of coffee.
Guan Hao came out of the office lounge and told Chen Lin, "Arrange my recent itinerary. I have to leave for a while."
"leave?"
Chen Lin put the coffee on Guan Hao's desk and asked, "President, where are you going?"
"Vacation."
"Oh, President, you are open all year round. You should really relax yourself."
Guan Hao nodded lightly, "Bring me the more important documents these days!"
"good."
Chen Lin said and returned to her office.
Guan Hao habitually picked up the coffee Chen Lin brewed, and after taking a sip, he was stunned.
Not long after, Chen Lin came in from the outside with a stack of documents. Seeing Guan Hao looking at the coffee, Chen Lin smiled and said, "President, isn't this coffee delicious?"
Guan Hao put the coffee on the table.
Chen Lin chuckled and added, "This is what Miss Qu taught me when I came here last time. Is it delicious?"
Guan Hao didn't look at the coffee again and spat out lightly, "Don't brew this flavor again in the future, replace it with your old one."
"Ah?" Chen Lin opened her mouth and was stunned.
"Bring the documents!"
------------------------------------------------
Everything seemed to be calm again.
"QCS" became famous because of receiving the order from "Haotian". The number of orders signed in the past month has been constant, so that Qu Ranran was also very busy...
Days like this passed very quickly, and Qu Ranran also felt that life was very fulfilling.
On this day, Qu Ranran was discussing a design drawing with several colleagues. Xiao Luoke suddenly jumped up to her side and said curiously, "Ranran, there is an old lady outside who is well-dressed and looks rich.
Looking for you."
Qu Ranran paused and said, "Old lady?"
"Yes, it looks very noble?"
Qu Ranran looked towards the door, and sure enough, it was Mrs. Guan!
…
A tea restaurant downstairs from "qcs".
Guan's mother looked at Qu Ranran straightly.
Dressed in a white-collar attire, with a "qcs" work badge hanging around his neck, he looks very sophisticated and energetic.
Guan's mother was the first to speak, "Have you been working here for the past six months?"
"Well, I've been working for four or five months."
"Is it still hard?"
"Fortunately, I have just entered this industry and there are still many things to learn."
Guan's mother nodded lightly.
Qu Ranran still treated Guan's mother with the same respect as before, "Mrs. Guan, did you come to see me for something?"
Guan's mother chuckled, "Why call me so unfamiliar? Even if you don't call me... uh, call me aunt!"
"Okay, Auntie."
"I know when you see me, the first thing you want to ask is whether Yu An is okay. Don't worry, he is very good. He can even call me 'daddy'."
Qu Ranran's eyes instantly glowed, "Really?"
"Well, he is very naughty, but he is very afraid of Guan Hao... But this little clever guy always hugs Guan Hao whenever he sees him, so Guan Hao can't always get angry with him."
Qu Ranran couldn't help laughing as he imagined Guan Hao being helpless against Yu An.
Guan's mother looked deeply at Qu Ranran's smiling face and suddenly sighed, "It would be great if you were by his side."
The topic Guan Mu started made the atmosphere tense for a moment.
The smile on Qu Ranran's face became a little unnatural.
Guan's mother, who had been mentally prepared, said sternly, "Ranran, actually, I came here today to explain to you the thing that holds the most grudge in your heart, which is the cause of your father's death."
