"You're still not up? How long are you going to keep pretending to be asleep for?" Guan Yuanyi rubbed the hair on Xu Ran's forehead.

Xu Ran stretched out her hand without opening her eyes and carelessly pushed it. It just happened to touch the hard stubble on Guan Jingyi's chin. It was also a clear indication of the difference between the two.

The early morning clash was like a fire to the officials.

"Can't I close my eyes and rest? It's very important to a girl. " Xu Ran was embarrassed and tried to find an excuse to lie.

Guan Jingyi's gaze was fixated on a large patch of smooth skin on her chest. She was wearing a sleeveless nightgown of the conservative kind, but because she was restless at night, one of the straps slipped off, revealing half of her bare shoulders and half of her bumpy breasts.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Ran rubbed her hair as she didn't understand why. After all, it was rare to see someone in such a daze like Shangguan Jingyi in a thousand years.

Shangguan Jingyi turned his head to the side with all the restraint he could muster. He awkwardly stood up and paid attention to the topic: "Erm, quickly go wash up. I'll bring you over there in a bit."

"Ugh." Xu Ran took a robe and put it on. She did not notice that he had left her and walked unsteadily into the washroom. Xu Ran woke up too early today, so he was a little out of sleep. As he sat in the car, he didn't seem to have much energy and was yawning.

"Sleep for a while if you're tired. We're almost there, I'll call you." Guan Jingyi said to Xu Ran, who was sitting in the back row. It was only today that Guan Yi realized that Xu Ran had been sitting in the back of the car the entire time. Today, he thought that she was tired and wanted to go to the back to catch up on her sleep, but the previous few times, when he thought about it, he frowned out of habit. This little girl always had wild thoughts.

"En!" Xu Ran nodded her head and lowered her body. She placed both of her hands on her chest and fell asleep.

Guan Jingyi smiled as he saw her sleeping posture in the front mirror. What kind of sleeping posture is this!

"To think that our Fourth Master would have the time to come to my place." Guan Jingyi came in with a gift box, followed by Xu Ran. The old woman sitting on the sofa spoke with a reserved manner.

Guan Jingyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "My wife came here specifically to visit you." As he said this, he handed the box to the servant behind him.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cui Yun was causing trouble for no reason.

"I've come this time to pick up the official, Li Feng." Shangguan Jingyi continued.

"Why did you pick him up? Fourth Bro, don't go too far. You beat up the person from Li Feng and even smashed up the bar, I've already told the old man about this before. I still haven't said that I would punish you for your crimes, yet you still refuse to forgive me. " Cui Yun couldn't sit still any longer when she heard this was related to Shangguan Lifeng. Before, her words had been very quick, but now, she was truly angry. She pointed at Shangguan Jingyi, trembling uncontrollably.

"Then from what you're saying, the person isn't willing to hand it over, even if I'm following the old man's orders?"

Hearing this, Cui Yun sat down on the sofa.

Shangguan Jingyi continued: "Don't worry too much. I'll just bring you to the army to train for a few years."

It was better if Shangguan Jingyi didn't say anything, but Cui Yun wasn't willing to do so. How could her darling grandson bear the hardships of the army, and was even taken away by Guan Jingyi?

Cui Yun swept away the teacups on the table, hatefully saying, "I forbid you, even if you insist that Li Feng join the army, I will not allow it, you escort him."

Shangguan Jingyi snorted coldly, "Heh heh, that's not up to you."

After saying that, a few bodyguards in black uniforms jumped out of the door and rushed to the second floor.

However, even after quite a long time had passed, there was still no movement on the second floor.

Guan Jingyi turned around to look at Xu Ran and said, "I'm going up to take a look."

Xu Ran nodded to Guan Jingyi in acknowledgement.

After seeing the official scene, only Xu Ran and Cui Yun were left in the living room.

Cui Yun said, "As expected of someone who has a mother and no son. Look, her mother died after giving birth to him for three years. If that's not his mother, then what else could it be?!" Those years in the orphanage, no one had any education at all! "

When Cui Yun said this, Xu Ran was immediately enraged. "Cui — Auntie Cui, how can you say that about Yi-gege?"

She didn't know about this at first, but Xu Ran had always thought that Guan Jingyi came from a wealthy family and didn't have to worry about food or clothing. Seeing how much her grandfather doted on him, she had always thought that he was a doting young master. Unexpectedly, this was not the case.

It was obvious from Cui Yun's attitude towards him and the fact that he lost his mother at such a young age. When he was young, he had been treated with contempt and even sent to an orphanage!

How could Xu Ran not feel pain in his heart?

"Why can't I say anything about him, having a mother and not a son!" Cui Yun continued.

"No matter what you say, you are still big brother Yi's elder. If I didn't hear you say these things, I absolutely cannot believe it. "It turns out that your home tutors and family rules are only this much. Guan Jingyi is the fourth young master of the official family, and this was personally admitted by grandfather. Similarly, he is also our Xu family's legitimate son-in-law. If anyone says anything bad about him, our Xu family will be the first to disagree!"

These were the most stubborn words that Xu Ran had ever said in order to maintain the government's peace of mind.

When official Jing Yi went downstairs, he saw that Xu Ran's eyes were filled with tears. He was obviously weak, but every word he said was powerful and sonorous.

It was the first time that Guan Jingyi had been protected by a woman. That feeling was not bad.
