Chapter 371 I’m Here To Take My Wife Back

Ran Xueyi stepped out of the elevator as soon as its doors opened on the 32nd floor. It was the second to the highest floor and one could easily see the difference between the lower and upper floors with how the interior design was done on the corridors alone.

The sounds of her footsteps bounced against the walls. Ran Xueyi slowly looked for the room with the number 702, which was situated at the end of the corridor.

When she finally arrived in the front of the room, Ran Xueyi hesitated to reach her hand out to knock on the door.

At the same time, she received another message from Xie Xing.

[Are you close?]

Ran Xueyi replied. [I'm on your floor.]

Just a few seconds after she sent her reply, the door in front of her opened and revealed Xie Xing, who was wearing a dark suit.

"You're here? I was going to pick you up in front of the elevator." Xie Xing appeared surprised. He stepped to the side and gestured her to enter after looking around, "Come in quickly before someone sees you."

Ran Xueyi also did not delay and entered the room while saying, "Brother Xie's reason for inviting me to your room… It's really not because you want to forgive me for what happened in the past?"

,m Xie Xing stopped walking in front of her and slightly turned, "What makes you think so?"

"Because there's no need for us to talk in your room," Ran Xueyi said in a curt manner. She looked around the room, trying to gouge situation and see if there was any camera or someone else inside there with them.

Seeing her actions, Xie Xing felt helpless and said, "When did you become so cautious around people, Xueyi? Do you think I'm that kind of person who will ruin a person's life just to satisfy a petty revenge plan?"

Ran Xueyi thought about it for a second and reluctantly shook her head. Honestly, she believed that Xie Xing was not that kind of person. Although he has his own method when it comes to making other people pay back what they owe him, Xie Xing was a just and righteous person and prioritizes friendship over other things.

If there was a way to reconcile and let bygones be bygones, he would not hesitate to take that action and forgive.

But of course, he has his own definition of limits and what one cannot trespass.

Xie Xing sighed and approached her. He stood in front of her, towering her with his tall figure, and said, "I really did tell you to come here and talk to me because I want to start our friendship afresh. But, there's another reason…"

Ran Xueyi finally raised her head to meet his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Come in first and I'll tell you. Standing here will only make your feet hurt."

Ran Xueyi finally decided to follow him inside.

Xie Xing prepared a warm tea for both of them, knowing that Ran Xueyi preferred it than wine.

Ran Xueyi stared at the teacup but didn't pick it up or drink it. Xie Xing didn't mind her refusal to drink and understood that she must be feeling guarded against him.

Well, there's nothing he could do. He told her to come into his room late at night, after all.

After a moment of silence, Ran Xueyi finally spoke up, "So… why did you really call me out here?"

Xie Xing placed his cup on the table and smiled at her, "Aside from starting afresh?"

"…Aside from that."

Xie Xing stared at her and Ran Xueyi stared back at him. Suddenly, Xie Xing moved to pick up something on the side and placed it on top of the table.

It was a brown envelop.

Ran Xueyi was curious as to what Xie Xing mean by this. She reached for the envelope to see what's inside.

After reading the contents of it, Ran Xueyi raised her head to look at him, "This…"

Xie Xing raised an amused brow and asked, "Still think I'm doing this to get my revenge on you?"

Certainly not…

No one could be so generous when it comes to revenge.

The content inside the envelope was an Asian-Pacific ambassadorship for the CK show. It was one of the biggest achievement one could get domestically, and one of the requirements to get the Triple Crown Award.

"I still remembered your dream of getting the Triple Crown award in the past. I was going to give this to you before, but you ghosted me and announced that you're stepping out of the spotlight. So in the end, I had to keep it stashed away." Xie Xing told her. "But surprisingly, you made such a comeback and returned."

"Anyway, it's good you've returned. Now, I can hand this to you."

Ran Xueyi never thought that something like this could happen. It had been years since she talked to him about her dream. And amongst her friends, the only people who knew about her dream to get the Triple Crown Award were Jian Yiling and Xie Xing. Of course, Song Yu Han became an addition to the number of people who knew about this, but he's not her friend. He was someone much special.

"Thank you, Brother Xie… I never thought you'd give me this after what happened," Ran Xueyi couldn't contain the excitement she was feeling.

"It's nothing, really. I'm just giving something that you should have received in the past. However… you still need to work hard to meet the directors of CK show expectations to keep the ambassadorship."

Xie Xing shrugged as if this was just a small matter. "Technically, the contract says that you need to be scandal free for a year, but it seems that it's not possible. So, I'll revise that rule and talk to the directors and convince them to set another condition in the contract."

"Is that alright with you?"

Ran Xueyi knew that Xie Xing was doing so much for her and beamed. She hurriedly stood up and hugged his arm and said, "Thank you, Brother Xie!"

Xie Xing, on the other hand, patted her head.

People might not know, but he and Ran Xueyi treated each other like how siblings treated each other. Due to their family circumstances, they found comfort and sibling love with each other which they couldn't get from their own real siblings.

Due to this, many people mistook their closeness into something deeper.

"By the way, how do you know President Yan of Yan Hui Corporation?" Xie Xing suddenly asked her.

President Yan? Why does this sound familiar to her?

Ran Xueyi frowned when she heard this. Instead of answering, she questioned, "President Yan from Yan Hui Corporation? I don't think I've had the pleasure to be acquainted with him before. Why do you ask?"

This time, Xie Xing's eyes became deeper. "President Yan owns the Yan Hui Corporation. He also owns a small 2nd tier entertainment company in the country, SBC Entertainment."

SBC Entertainment? Isn't that where Jia Li was signed under?

Seeing her confused and clueless expression, Xie Xing finally revealed to her, "I was going to put you on the list of invitees, but President Yan beat me to it. He took back another actress's name from the list and instead put your name on it."

"But you said you don't know him… Do you have an idea why he did that?"

Ran Xueyi turned silent at this.

…

At the same time, Song Yu Han arrived at the front of Xie Xing's room.

He sent a message to Ran Xueyi after stepping into the elevator, but he didn't receive a reply.

Even though he knew that he could trust Ran Xueyi and her faithfulness was not to be questioned and doubted, Song Yu Han could not, however, trust other men. He knew how men's mind and rational works. And towards Ran Xueyi's beauty and charm, he doubted any man could possible resist her.

And so, Song Yu Han contemplated to wait for Ran Xueyi's reply or to kick down the door in front of him.

But… he didn't receive a reply.

Then, should he kick down the door?

Looking at the door, it seems that it was made from quality wood and was quite thick. However, it shouldn't pose a problem to Song Yu Han. It would be easy for him to take it down without exerting much effort.

'Okay, let's take it down then.'

Song Yu Han took a step back and prepared himself to kick the door when the door in front suddenly swung open and revealed Ran Xueyi and an unfamiliar man.

Song Yu Han: "…"

Xie Xing: "…"

Ran Xueyi: "You…" Why is he here?

No matter how you look at their situation, it looked like a husband catching his wife in her lover's room.

Ran Xueyi snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Yu Han, don't misunderstand—"

Before she could finish her words, Song Yu Han pulled her towards him and directed his glare at the unfamiliar man across him.

Xie Xing saw the panic expression on Ran Xueyi and understood the situation quickly.

He flashed a polite smile towards Song Yu Han and said, "Hello, I'm Xie Xing. Ran Xueyi's senior. Don't misunderstand. We were just talking with each other and nothing more."

Surprisingly, the cold and unsmiling big boss, had the corners of his lips upturned as he replied, "Hello to you too… I am Song Yu Han."

Ran Xueyi shuddered when she saw the strange grin on his lips and heard him continue speaking.

"And I'm here to take my wife back."
