Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

What happened in the headquarters of Chestnut was naturally reported to Ran Xueyi by Xiang Lin, who heard about what happened as soon as he entered the office building from his other colleagues.

Ran Xueyi had just finished one of her scenes and stood in a corner to talk to him. "Alright, thank you for reporting everything to me. Tell everyone that the restriction of not letting any non-employees in the company will continue for a week."

Xiang Lin was feeling a little bit nervous because of what happened to Feng Huai so he asked, "Will I be sent to prison too?"

Ran Xueyi replied without taking the time to think, "It's not necessary for you to be brought to prison too. However, expect to be in the court to state your statement as the witness and whistleblower of the case. You will be testifying against Feng Huai and Gong Sun."

Xiang Lin had been worried about this matter after he heard that Feng Huai was arrested. He feared that he would be next, but hearing Ran Xueyi's words made him loosen up the tension in his nerves.

If he hadn't changed sides, he would have been put to prison like Feng Huai and Gong Sun. His sister would be left behind by him and no one will be able to support her. And after he was convicted of his crimes, he might even never see his younger sister again.

But all of these didn't happen because he accepted Ran Xueyi's offer. He didn't touch the check she gave to him but he swore that he would help her in any way to bring down Feng Huai and Gong Sun.

"Will Dauntless allow me to escape from their clutches?" Although he was relieved to have Ran Xueyi's words that he won't be sent to prison, he still had some concerns towards Dauntless.

Dauntless didn't become the number one entertainment company in the country and just let him, a former accomplice of Feng Huai and Gong sun, go and not be sent to prison. Xiang Lin was afraid that Ran Xueyi and Chestnut might not be able to protect him from Dauntless.

However, Ran Xueyi unexpectedly told him, "Dauntless won't touch you."

Xiang Lin was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

Ran Xueyi replied nonchalantly, "Because you're no longer a part of Chestnut but YH Group."

Xiang Lin: "...!"

...

"Who was that?" Song Yu Han also finished his scenes and walked to stand beside her.

Ran Xueyi didn't hide it from him and said, "Xiang Lin."

Song Yu Han had little opinion about Xiang Lin and said, "What about him?"

"He was too shocked to speak after I told him that he's no longer an employee in Chestnut but in your company. It might take him a while to recover so I'll just let him be for now." Ran Xueyi thought about something before she said, "But are you sure you want him to move to YH Group?"

Song Yu Han shrugged, "It's not me who wants him to be transferred. Wu Qi thinks that his talent in programming is great and took the chance to recommend him to me. I don't see any reason to reject him and besides, didn't it save you the trouble of facing Dauntless head on?"

Ran Xueyi helplessly smiled, "That's right. Dauntless is too much for me to handle for now. I can only rely on my husband and trouble him to clean up the mess I can't solve."

Song Yu Han tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. It was rare for him to hear her say this and wondered if she meant every word. But looking at her eyes that were as clear as the starry night sky, he knew that Ran Xueyi was not angry and mocking herself for being weaker.

He raised his hand to hug her, but then, he remembered that they were still in this role play of pretending to be friends and could not do it. Thus, his hand hovered in the air for a second before he changed the trajectory of his hand to pat her head.

Ran Xueyi blinked her eyes after being patted on top of her head. But Song Yu Han had already turned around and left without saying anything.

...

At the same time, Little Zhanzhan, who had to stay in Imperial city, felt so bored that he lay on the bench like a salted fish of a park in the community where the villa was located.

During this time, his only companion was Guo Yun.

Naturally, their relationship had gotten closer and they became bonded brothers with a two decades age gap.

"Yes, let me know when everything is done. I will head over to the office later." Guo Yun stood a few feet away from the bench and was talking to his phone.

Several feet away from where they are, children who lived in the same community were having fun playing with their playmates. It was only Little Zhanzhan who didn't want to play and just lay on the bench under the sun.

Brother Yun didn't look like he would be done speaking to his phone and the little boy was so bored to death, and just when he thought of returning to the villa, he saw an old man sitting in the pagoda near the park.

Curiosity took over Little Zhanzhan. He first glanced at Guo Yun before he walked over to the pagoda. When he got closer, he saw that the man was not just sitting there but also playing chess.

The old man seemed to be struggling about something as it took him a while to make a move before falling silent. Little Zhanzhan watched him glare at the chessboard for a while before moving closer.

Little Zhanzhan had played chess with some adults back in Ren Country. So he was curious why the old man couldn't finish the game.

Of course, playing chess with someone and playing alone was different. However, Little Zhanzhan was too bored and tired to wait for the old man to take his move.

Moving closely, Little Zhanzhan thought that the old man was not that good in playing the game so he said, "C4"

The old man didn't hear him and moved a pawn. Little Zhanzhan stared in disgust at the old man's movement and sighed, "You'll only reach a bottleneck if you continue moving in that direction."
