Xu Anran turned her head and saw the blinding white light. She squinted his eyes and put her hands in front of his eyes.

After staring blankly for a while, the blinding white light in front of her disappeared. Before she was fully awake, she heard the sound of the car door being slammed shut.

It was naturally Guan Jingyi, who revealed an angry expression. Even though it was very dark at night and Xu Anran could not clearly see Guan Jingyi's expression, she could still feel the anger of the man who was walking towards him.

At that time, Xu Anran's first thought was — run!

Xu Anran ran a distance away. Because it was too dark, and shshewas so nervous that she was afraid of being caught by Guan Jingyi, he didn't have the time to pay attention to the road beneath her feet.

Just as she was suffering a calamity with her eyes closed tightly, her arm was grabbed by a big hand, and with a push from the owner of that big hand, the petite Xu Anran fell into Guan Jingyi's embrace.

"Why are you running!" The somewhat lecturing tone made Xu Anran's eyes ache.

But Xu Anran was not someone who did not have a temper. The humiliation he suffered in front of another woman, Xu Anran could still clearly remember it.

"Xu Anran, do you know who you are!"

"Don't touch me, Guan Jingyi, don't touch me!" Xu Anran screamed and struggled out of Guan Jingyi's embrace.

"What happened to you?" The softness in his arms suddenly disappeared, and Guan Jingyi frowned. He knew that she was angry, but he couldn't understand why he would have such a huge reaction to his contact with his.

"Other than that marriage contract, we are two people who are unrelated to each other. Guan Jingyi, I am very clear about my own identity." Xu Anran touched her tears. She was still a child after all, and couldn't help but ask.

Guan Jingyi remained calm and collected. Everything about him melted into the dark night, and only his pair of deep eyes that were as black as ink flickered with specks of light as he looked at Xu Anran inquiringly.

After a long while, he said, "An An, let's go home first. If there's anything you need, we can talk about it when we get home."

"There's no need for you to travel. I will go back by myself." Xu Anran said as she walked in the opposite direction where Guan Jingyi was standing.

After walking a few steps, her hand was grabbed, but this time, Guan Jingyi was grabbing her hand, not her wrist.

"Be good, it's not safe here. There are often traffickers around." Guan Jingyi's breathing slowed down.

Although Guan Jingyi was a gentleman, everyone who cooperated with him and those around him knew that Guan Jingyi was actually not a very patient person.

To be able to do this to Xu Anran, it was truly not easy. Even Guan Jingyi didn't think that he would be so patient with a little girl who was ten years younger than him, who had even developed generation's gap between them.

If he was being ruthless, Guan Jingyi would do it. It was just that when facing such a delicate, weak and daydreaming little fellow, Guan Jingyi was a little — reluctant.

When the word "unwillingness" appeared in Guan Jingyi's mind, his sword-like eyebrows fiercely knitted together. Then, with a bang, these three words exploded from within his mind, shattering into pieces.

Looking at Xu Anran in the mirror, he saw that she, who was sitting in the corner at the back row, was extremely obedient. When she blew up her fur, it was like a hedgehog standing up all over her body. Once the air was gone, those millions of thorns would instantly transform into a furry appearance. It was soft and exquisite.

"An An?" He suddenly called her name.

Xu Anran lazily raised her eyes and looked at his resolute face in the mirror. She lowered her head and did not reply because he did not want to bother with him.

"Not caring enough about how you feel in front of elegance has caused you to lose face. I apologize, I'm sorry. " Guan Jingyi's tone was extremely sincere, but in Xu Anran's ears, he looked like she was coaxing a little kid. Moreover, he would never understand that the reason why Xu Anran was angry, was not because of face, but because of the words that came out of Guan Jingyi's mouth when she was in a hurry. In his heart, Xu Anran was just an existence of a virtual wife.

Guan Jingyi did not care about himself at all, even a little.

Actually, after interacting with Guan Jingyi for the past few days, even though she was trying his best to restrain the emotions he was releasing towards him, when faced with Guan Jingyi's meticulous care and arrangements again and again, her heart had long ago lost its steadfast nature, and was even sinking bit by bit. If this matter were to happen to Xu Anran, perhaps she wouldn't have such a huge reaction. But now, she felt that he had truly been bewitched by Guan Jingyi's' good 'appearance and was somewhat pampered.

Hearing Guan Jingyi's words, a trace of ridicule flashed past the corner of Xu Anran's mouth. She tidied up the overcoat on his body, found a more comfortable position, leaned against the window, and closed his eyes.
