Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

The familiar woody and minty scent mixed with a unique masculine odor coming from Song Yu Han made a drunk Ran Xueyi more docile. In all these years without him, she's been on guard in each second, but upon being beside him, all the guards she set up around herself like an iron wall to keep other people into her life slowly created webbing cracks.

Soon, the dust and pebbles of that wall soon crumpled to the floor without a sound.

At this moment, Ran Xueyi was truly drunk and confused but even so, she still recognized the arms of the man she missed so much for three years.

Ran Xueyi, "Where have you been?"

Song Yu Han patted her hair and said, "I've been around you."

"Really? Then why didn't I see you around?"

"Because I was hiding."

Ran Xueyi pulled her head slightly backward to look at his face and tilted her head as she blinked her eyes. "Why?"

"To protect you."

"Is it fun?"

Song Yu Han shook his head, "No, it was difficult."

Frowning a little, she stared at him as she said, "But why? Isn't hide-and-seek supposed to be fun?"

Song Yu Han realized that her drunken state was clouding her mind again. He helplessly sighed and told her, "Yes... But I find my hide-and-seek torturing. I keep having nightmares of losing you and I couldn't help but want to distance myself from you just so I could keep everyone's eyes away from you so I could protect you and our child."

Ran Xueyi silently listened to him talk before asking, "Then why are you here?" she paused for a second before hitting her forehead lightly. She exclaimed softly, "Ah! I forgot I'm dreaming so you, being here, isn't real."

​ Hearing her say this, Song Yu Han's heart was torn apart as he held her once again in his arms. Tightly and filled with warmth. He hugged her until his shoulder shook.

"What's wrong? Is something hurting you?"

Song Yu Han shook his head, "No."

"Then, why are you crying?"

Song Yu Han froze because of the question she asked.

Even he was unable to comprehend why he was crying. He didn't even know when the tears started to fill his eyes.

After losing his mother at a very young age, Song Yu Han only cried when he saw his mother's death. But after the funeral, he never cried again. The tears simply didn't want to appear anymore. However, after not staying beside Ran Xueyi and having nightmares of losing her, his sense of control over his entire body seemed to have disappeared.

That must be why his tears went uncontrollable as they continued to slide down his cheeks.

Some people said that men shouldn't cry because crying would make them look weaker. But Song Yu Han didn't look like that at all. To Ran Xueyi, he looked so beautiful that even his tears were like diamonds falling down from his eyes. If she was in the right mind, she might have gathered all his tears into a vial and observed if they really turned into diamonds.

More than that, when he cried, there was no sense of shame but only emotions that were kept inside for so long and now running wild.

Ran Xueyi patted him in the back like how she would when Xiao Zhanzhan cried.

Ran Xueyi gently comforted him while saying, "It's okay... You're doing okay."

In the past, he was the one who said these few words.

Now, it was her turn.

"If the hide-and-seek is too hard for you, you can come and hide behind me. I will cover up for you. I have enough money and power to do that now. Most importantly, I'm not afraid of anything!" Ran Xueyi didn't know what she was saying and only told him whatever came from her heart. Drunk people usually forget whatever stops and filters they should put on their mouths, but their real thoughts and emotions would pour out.

Song Yu Han lowered his gaze and slowly smiled.

Recollecting himself, Song Yu Han's lips curved upward as the tears slowly dried up. He went along with her and said, "Will you really protect me?"

"Yup!"

"Even if I became poor and bald?"

Ran Xueyi paused and reached her hand out to grasp his long hair that was tied up. "Don't you have more hair than Xiao Zhanzhan? Why are you speaking nonsense about going bald?!"

Song Yu Han was surprised.

He never expected her to compare him to their son.

"Besides, even if you end up going bald, there's still me who has more hair than both of you! So, don't worry about that!" Ran Xueyi was proud of her hair volume and even had the time to flick her bouncy hair to the side.

Song Yu Han, "......."

However, Ran Xueyi wasn't done yet in proving how much love she has for him.

She continued excitedly, "Even if you went limp and could no longer do it like a eunuch, I will still love you!"

See, that's how amazing and pure and sincere her heart and love for him was! There's nothing that could hold her back!

After her sudden proclamation, two seconds of deafening silence disturbed the lovely and pink bubbled atmosphere. A sudden screech was heard as if a motorcycle made an urgent full-stop while doing a fast drifting.

After another two seconds of this eerie and dangerous silence, a low, deep, and masculine chuckle could be heard inside the room.

"I really should thank Prince Francisco for this delightful present..."

"Huh?" Ran Xueyi couldn't understand why that slimy and pervert prince was suddenly thrust into their conversation. But then, her focus was placed somewhere else. Her eyes lit up and asked, "Present? Where? I don't see any presents here."

Song Yu Han raised his brow and slowly pointed his finger. "There's a present right here."

Ran Xueyi stared at his finger that was pointing towards her, but she was too drunk to understand anything. She looked behind her and looked again.

Pouting and glaring after turning her head back to look at him, she accusingly said, "You lied. There's no present. I already looked behind me."

"Who said anything about a present behind you?" Song Yu Han slowly stood up. He looked down at her sitting figure, looking exactly like an innocent and naïve angel falling under the schemes of a mortal.

He wickedly smirked and said, "Isn't there still you?"

"Me?" Ran Xueyi asked back. But before she heard his response, she went into a serious mode and shook her head. "But I'm not..."

Song Yu Han stared at her, unblinkingly.

"Why not?"

Ran Xueyi replied with conviction, "Because even if this is a dream, I cannot let you have me."

Song Yu Han was confused about what she was talking about.

But Ran Xueyi quickly explained. "I really want to be with you... But not inside a dream. Come back to me in reality then I will let you do whatever you want. Isn't it more fun when we can do what we want from our dreams in reality?"

"...."

Song Yu Han's eyes flashed.

He almost forgot if Ran Xueyi hadn't reminded him. Currently, she was drunk and another 'man', who was also him but using a different identity, took her back to her room. If he really ended up in bed with her, the moment she wakes up and remembers everything, she would blame herself so badly and feel the guilt of betrayal.

After all, the 'Song Yu Han' that appeared before her was assumed by her as part of her dream. But Song Yu Han wasn't supposed to be there and the man who took her back to her room was the 'Earl', his other identity.

Even though Song Yu Han wouldn't feel betrayed because he was still the one doing it with her, it was the opposite for Ran Xueyi, who had no idea of his other identity. Hence, she would be swallowed up by her conscience and guilt that she got drunk and 'mistakenly took another man' as her husband.

Thankfully, even though she was drunk and confused, Ran Xueyi still had some sense and will to keep herself sane.

Although it was too bad he couldn't hold her and kiss her, Song Yu Han did not plan to go against her wishes. On the contrary, he was in glee when thinking about how much faith she has towards their relationship.

Song Yu Han suppressed the slight stirring inside of him.

Kneeling again on the ground on one knee, he held her cheeks and rubbed his calloused thumbs against her soft skin.

"You'll really let me do whatever I want in reality?" Song Yu Han smiled with meaning, holding back the urges to kiss her lips.

Ran Xueyi nodded and grinned. "Anything you want!"

"You're not going to complain if it's too much?"

Ran Xueyi bit her lips and said, "I'm going to complain!"

Song Yu Han, "....."

Ran Xueyi, "But I'll still do it because I know you will make sure I enjoy it as much as you do."

Alright, she's drunk. Hold it in.

Song Yu Han smiled. "You're the one who said it... Don't regret it later."
