Chapter 373 President Yan’s Patience Is Wearing Thin

Across the Century Rise hotel where Ran Xueyi and the others were staying was another hotel. It was slightly shorter in terms of height, but it rivaled the Century Rise hotel when it comes to popularity.

And inside one of the many rooms in that hotel was Jia Li together with her lover, President Yan.

Jia Li slightly regretted not going to the show and garnering some spotlight on herself, but for the sake of her past not being exposed and taking Ran Xueyi down, she could only fiddle with her fingers and wait for the good news.

"The person you hired... they won't turn their back on us right? Ran Xueyi has a lot of money, if she paid more than you did, it would be bad for both of us."

Jia Li became more anxious. She knew Ran Xueyi has a wealthy background and on top that, she has been around the entertainment industry for more than a decade, the accumulated money she earned from all her films and guest appearances should be more than what one could imagine to have.

President Yan was not as stressed out as his lover, but he was slightly irritated by her repetitive questions.

Tonight, he got a suite just for the two of them to enjoy, but rather than them rolling in the sheets and getting their night's worth in the hotel, Jia Li was panicking and avoiding his advances.

Though President Yan loved Jia Li and treated her preciously, his desire could not keep up with her and eventually, his aroused lower body softened and lost its vigor.

"Jia Li, I've told you already. You don't have to worry, trust me on this." President Yan placed his glass of wine to the side. "I'm not that stupid to hire somebody who will betray me. Besides, there are something more valuable than money."

"What's more valuable?"

President Yan pulled her hand and kissed it, "What do you think is more valuable than money?"

His rhetorical question stunned Jia Li.

Then, suddenly, the uneasiness in her heart vanished into thin air.

What could be more precious than life?

She completely forgot that Yan Zhouhui was a cruel man who loved manipulating a person's life and driving them insane until there was no point to living. The reason why she seduced him in prison was all due to his unique aura and charm that would make people bow down to him. She also tolerated his demands because he was useful to her.

"Babe, you should have told me sooner then. Look at me, I look like a fool because you keep on teasing me." Jia Li finally relaxed and moved towards the man sitting on the bed.

President Yan held her waist and said, "You're just worrying too much. The good news will soon arrive before the show ends."

There's still a week before the CK show runway event took place. Within that week, there should be tons of opportunities to ruin Ran Xueyi and have her apologize in front of everybody and never appear in front of them again. Jia Li rejoiced at the thought of seeing Ran Xueyi in her miserable state.

"Babe, sorry, I was too anxious... Do you want me to help you get hard again?" Jia Li sat beside his legs and reached her hand to uncover the bathrobe covering his lower half.

However, President Yan shook his head and rejected her offer. "It's alright. You can go and rest first."

"Alright then!" Jia Li happily moved to her side of the bed and lay down to sleep.

But she didn't know that after her eyes closed, President Yan's eyes became colder.

Jia Li might have not realized it yet but this past few months, her actions towards her were too lukewarm and pretentious. President Yan tried to ignore the signs and thought that Jia Li was just stressed out with her work as an actress and tolerated her indifference to him.

But her cold and pretentious act became a routine that even if President Yan became blind, he would still know that something was wrong with Jia Li.

To be more precise, whenever President Yan tried to embrace her and be sweet to her, Jia Li would use an excuse of being tired and wanted to be left alone.

Jia Li might not have intentionally revealed what's wrong, but President Yan saw it.

One day, Jia Li, who called him that she would not be able to come home due to filming more of her scenes, actually went to a hotel room with another man. She didn't leave the hotel room for an entire night.

And it was all seen by President Yan, who tried to look for her because she forgot to bring her wallet and followed the two in that hotel.

President Yan tried to believe her faithfulness and not think of the worst. However, this occurrence did not happen once. It happened for all the nights that she left his side.

The feeling of being forced to wear a green hat was overwhelming, but President Yan decided to hide it well only for one reason.

He would spoil Jia Li one last time before letting go.

When the breathing of the woman beside him stabilized and became rhythmical, President Yan caressed her cheeks and coldly called out her name, "Jia Li..."

My patience for you has ran out.

...

At the same time, there was another couple who was harmoniously sleeping next to each other.

After long hours of holding each other's body and bathing in the afterglow of their undying love, Ran Xueyi laid on Song Yu Han's bare chest and played with his hands.

"I had someone investigate how Jia Li met Yan Zhouhui. It seems that their relationship isn't as simple as it seems," Song Yu Han revealed while caressing Ran Xueyi's lower back.

"How so?"

Ran Xueyi had actually already investigated them through Lobo's connections, but she still listened obediently to him, and acted as if she didn't know anything.

"President Yan was arrested because of one of his lover's betrayal. He spent a few years in prison and encountered Jia Li there."

"But aren't men and women's prison separated? How could they meet?"

"The prison where they were held in wasn't that strict. The police officers bend their backs to any criminal that could bring them some money. Apparently, Yan Zhouhui was one of the most influential figure there."

He continued, "Jia Li was selected by one of the wealthy convicts there but before she was sent to the convict's prison room to be played with, she met Yan Zhouhui and seduced him into taking her out of that place."

From the report her received from Guo Yun, a small fire broke out suddenly after Jia Li stayed in that men's prison. A week later, Jia Li reportedly died due to fabricated reasons.

But what people didn't know was that Jia Li got out of prison by using Yan Zhouhui's favor and connections. She later took the identity 'Jia Li' and became an actress, forgetting who she was and what she did to be send to prison with a life sentence.

Ran Xueyi already knew this, but hearing it from Song Yu Han still made her skin crawl. Sometimes, the law protected the evildoers and persecuted the victim and innocent instead.

Even though she knew this, Ran Xueyi still wanted to believe in the power of justice and fairness. That's why all those people who messed with other people's lives and messed with Ran Xueyi was sent to prison instead of her hammering down her own version of justice.

"Even if she could escape before, once I'm done with her, I will never let her get away." Ran Xueyi swore that Jia Li will be punished not only for using Steffanie and Shi Lian to ruin her, but also the crimes she committed before they met.

Song Yu Han loved Ran Xueyi's sense of justice and confidence. She was different from him. If it were him, he would have already taken Jia Li and President Yan somewhere far and covert place where they will never be found.

Seeing her eyes growing brighter even under the veil of darkness, Song Yu Han felt his blood rushing to his Junior Brother, who slowly pointed his head to the sky.

Ran Xueyi saw this and became speechless: "..."

Hey, why are suddenly turned on?

They had already tossed in bed a few hours ago... Why is he still able to stand and get hard?

She turned her head to take a glance at Song Yu Han's face and blushed when she met his deepening gaze. Obviously, the meaning in that pair of eyes told her that he still wanted another round of tossing in bed.

"Hubby, is there a chance you'll let me sleep tonight? Even a tiny bit of chance? We've already done a lot." Ran Xueyi peeled herself off him and slowly backed away when a hand grabbed her and pushed her back to the bed.

Song Yu Han hovered above her and smirked, "It was your lover who did that earlier. Now, it's your husband's turn to punish his wife."

Later that night...

Song Yu Han asked her, "Who served you best? Is it your husband, or you lover?"

Ran Xueyi: "..."

No, I don't want to answer.

She was filled with regret for assigning two roles to him.
