Chapter 42 - "Let's Talk"

Ran Xueyi's voice was not too loud nor too low. It was enough to capture everyone's attention back to her when they were just shocked at the third bidder's bid price. 

"Oh my god! Did you hear what she said?"

"40 million!"

"Is she serious?"

Many weren't shocked at the amount itself. Rather, they were surprised that someone would offer 40 million for that building. If they had known that someone was so reckless and wanted to spend their money, they would have sold the buildings they didn't want in their assets that day to get some cash out of it.

The woman who offered 30 million yuan glanced at their table and because Liu Ran was sitting next to Ran Xueyi, his figure blocked her from the woman's sight. 

"Miss Juan, it seems that we can only give up this building," a man looked at Juan Shizen and said expressionlessly. "But if you want that building, we can talk to that lady and ask her to give it to you." 

Juan Shizen took her eyes away from Ran Xueyi's table and sighed. "That building and I aren't destined. There's no need for me to fight over it."

Juan Shizen knew what the man was saying. She could use her name and family background to take the building away from the lady. Just one mention of her grandfather, Elder Juan, the General Major of the country, no one would dare not show her grandfather face and give up whatever she wanted to take in this auction.

However, Juan Shizen wasn't like her siblings and cousins who would do that. That kind of method of bullying others by using her grandfather's name was too childish.

Sighing, Juan Shizen glanced at the man on her side and thought that this blind date was a failure. The man was too arrogant and was already thinking of using her grandfather's name even though they had just met each other that day.

But Juan Shizen was quite curious about the lady who offered 40 million just now. Maybe they could meet someday if they were destined to see each other again.

...

Ran Xueyi heard the pounding of gavel in the auctioneer's hand. She felt relieved that no one increased the price. At this moment, her money was around 47 million after deducting all the expenses from her new house. Now, she only has 7 million after tonight's auction.

Although she felt heavy hearted upon thinking that she only has 7 million in her bank account, Ran Xueyi was not sad. She now has her own building which she will register under her name and gradually, she will let her company grow into one of the giants in the entertainment world.

But of course, time will only tell if she will succeed or fail.

After discussing some things with Liu Ran and telling him to find her a broker who could help her register her business and renovate the building, the two of them separated on the road.

Ran Xueyi drove her car straight to the Empire House Estate and saw that a black Ferrari was parked in front of her gate.

Frowning, Ran Xueyi drove her car slowly to the sports car and looked at it for a long moment. The car windows were tinted black so she couldn't see who was inside. 

However, Ran Xueyi could guess who it was. 

Ran Xueyi stepped out of her car and knocked on the window of the sports car. She said, "Can you not block my gateway? I can't put my car inside my garage if you park there."

The person inside the car looked at her through the tinted windows and instead of listening to her, the person got out of the car. 

Who else could it be other than Song Yu Han, the only person aside from Liu Ran who knew where she would live after going to the imperial capital.

"You didn't wait for me." His voice was cold but the softer tone in it was noticeable with how gentle he was looking at her.

Ran Xueyi coldly stared at him. She observed his expression and found that he didn't know she found out what he had done.

Noticing the indifference from the way she stared at him, Song Yu Han felt a bit confused. He walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ran Xueyi stared at him for a long time. The man standing before her was extremely handsome. He was even more good-looking than all the male celebrities who used their faces to earn money she met in the industry. If he debuted as an idol or a rookie actor, he would surely topple everyone else away from their throne.

Unfortunately, he was no celebrity. 

And why was she admiring him when she was supposed to be angry at him! 

Ran Xueyi wanted to slap herself awake. This man deceived her. She shouldn't be admiring his looks and standing there in daze.

"Why did you marry me?" Ran Xueyi went straight to the point. She wanted to hear his answer from his mouth and decide what to do with their marriage after.

Song Yu Han blinked in surprise. He didn't think he would ask her this question. Out of all of expectations and imaginations that played in his mind, this one was completely out of the scenario he thought would happen.

Where was the wife that would smile at him and say 'welcome home'? Or the welcome home kiss he should receive from her? 

Did she not like the things he sent to her last time? 

Most importantly, why was she angry at him?

Song Yu Han tried hard to remember any action that he had taken and wondered if she was displeased with any of them. But no matter what he did, he couldn't think of anything at all. 

In the end, he had to answer her question first.

"Because we both wanted it," he answered truthfully.

Ran Xueyi looked away and sighed. She turned around and walked to the gate of her house. She opened the gate, entered, and then, paused. 

She said, "Let's talk inside."
