After calling "Sir", the butler quietly retreated to a corner.
Qu Ranran stood up and was about to speak when Guan Hao said, "Let's talk upstairs." Then he went straight upstairs.
At this moment, Qu Ranran did not hesitate and followed him upstairs.
In fact, she insisted on waiting for him in the hall, not because she was afraid that it would be awkward for the two of them to talk in the room where they had lived before, but because she was afraid that if he wanted to bring someone back to live with him, she would be really embarrassed in this room.
When Qu Ranran walked in, Guan Hao had already loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, obviously going to the bathroom.
Qu Ranran didn't bother him and just stood quietly in the room waiting for him.
He loves to be clean, and usually likes to take a bath for a while and then rinse in the shower room. It usually doesn't take too long, so she waits patiently.
…
When Guan Hao stepped out of the bathroom, he saw Qu Ranran sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, looking at the scenery outside the window very intently.
"Say it."
Guan Hao suddenly spoke, and Qu Ranran was startled. She turned around instinctively, but without warning saw the scene of Guan Hao naked in his nightgown.
He didn't have any scruples in front of her, and she didn't have to. After two years of marriage, it wasn't like she had never seen his body before, and now that she was avoiding him, it seemed like she was being too deliberate.
So, she looked at him and said directly, "I want to ask you a favor."
"Yeah." Guan Hao responded lightly, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, tilted his head and lit a cigarette.
Qu Ranran came up behind Guan Hao and calmly recounted the incident. Of course, she did not mention to him that she was stopped by the police at the airport.
After listening to what Qu Ranran said, Guan Hao happened to finish smoking the cigarette. After putting out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, he glanced at her and said, "This seems to be the second time you want to ask me for help."
Qu Ranran's eyes widened slightly. Do you know that I begged you again?
Guan Hao looked at her shocked eyes and replied, "The last time I was in New York, I only needed to make a phone call to solve the dilemma you were facing at that time."
"You know why I... didn't even answer the phone?" She spat out weakly, thinking that she had practiced well in front of him, but she didn't even have the courage to say the three words "need you" in the middle.
He narrowed his eyes and squinted at her, "Don't you know the reason?"
Qu Ranran shook his head blankly.
Guan Hao sneered and said, "My father-in-law passed away, but my wife never thought of informing me. I guess she doesn't need me."
Qu Ranran slowly lowered his eyes and said to himself, "We have already shown our cards before. You are with me because I look like the woman you love, and I am with you because my father is planning to steal from you.
There is no real affection between the two of us, given the benefits obtained there. How can I allow you to express my condolences as the daughter-in-law of the Qu family after my father's death?"
Guan Hao's eyes narrowed tighter and his voice was low and hoarse, "Ran Ran, do you really think that in the past two years, I just used you as a substitute to hurt you?"
Qu Ranran silently agreed.
Guan Hao still sneered, but his smile turned cold, "You are really my good wife, Qu Ranran... If I just see you as a substitute, why should I send you to the hospital to test whether you care about our child?
Why do I need to find reasons to delay your divorce from me, and why do I need you to come back tonight?"
"I……"
Qu Ranran froze on the spot.
Guan Hao reached out and took Qu Ranran into his arms, put his head on her forehead, and whispered, "Do you know how angry I am with you?"
