Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Ran Xueyi raised her hand and patted her chest. Ah, it's really hard to have a handsome husband. Even she, the wife of that guy, couldn't help but want to scream like a crazed fan and ask him to marry her.

Oops, that's right. She's already married to him.

Ran Xueyi embarrassedly looked away from his deep gaze and looked around as though she didn't intentionally stare at him. The people around Song Yu Hna weren't many. There were only eight other people and it looks like they weren't complete yet seeing how there are empty chairs.

She recognized the old man as the Old Patriarch Song. She met him several years ago when she first attended his birthday with her grandfather. The old man looked the same as the first time she met him, perhaps just a little bit older now. However, the distinct and particular aura of an elder you cannot afford to offend was still there.

If Ran Xueyi were to describe Old Master Song's aura, it was as if standing before an extraordinarily strict counselor. You wouldn't dare make a move and do a mistake lest he deducts a point and suspends you. That's the kind of aura he had.

On the other hand, there was another one who also exudes such a sense of presence. Ran Xueyi noticed a middle-aged man standing on the other side. At one point, she seemed to have a sense of familiarity with his facial features. But she couldn't point it out directly since this was her first time seeing him.

As for her husband, Song Yu Han, there was really no need to mention it. The guy had the most eye-catching and outstanding presence of them all. One look and you would feel a majestic feeling oozing out from him as if standing before a king.

The grand party was about to begin soon. The server whom the organizer had found to serve Ran Xueyi also arrived and made her pick from the glasses of liquids from his tray. After choosing a light beverage with little alcohol, the server left while thinking about coming back around and serving her again sometime later.

When Ran Xueyi felt slightly thirsty, she finally took a small sip from the champagne glass and used this chance to look around once more. On her left was the Fu and Qiao family and on her right was the Tang family and next to them was the Xie family. All four families were part of the four greatest families in Flower Country.

And in front of her was the head of these four great families, the Song family.

If Ran Xueyi didn't say it earlier, she'll say it now. The overwhelming pressure being surrounded by them was really nerve wracking.

Nonetheless, she didn't show it to her face and acted calmly as she took another sip from her glass.

Without anyone sitting at the same table as her, she looked quite lonely, but it wasn't on purpose. The table was supposedly shared by her grandparents and some of the people who they would bring with them. But since they didn't get to attend, they could only send Ran Xueyi and no one else.

Without her grandparents around, she wasn't afraid of being looked at and talked about. She was already used to this type of situation.

One man from another table stumbled upon this scene. He looked at the royal blue dress and wondered how beautiful it looked and it also perfectly suited the lady's pale skin. But seeing her sitting alone there, his lips couldn't help but raise and he slowly approached the table with a wine glass in his hand.

Another man from his group stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"

The man pointed his chin to a direction and answered, "Accompanying a distressed and lonely flower."

Hearing the other say this, the man who stopped him also looked and frowned when he saw that it was indeed a lady who was sitting alone there. However, he couldn't quite see how she was distressed and lonely?

"Don't mess around too much. We were told not to make a scene here and it's better to not make a move on her."

Qi Yan knew the voracious appetite of his friend, James Duan. He could eat any type from male to female to older and younger. He wouldn't be worried if this was any other place, but this was the birthday party of Old Patriarch Song.

James Duan patted Qi Yan's shoulder and reassuringly said, "Don't worry... I won't do anything to her. Of course, I can't guarantee that she was the one to invite me."

After saying this, James winked at his friend and walked away before Qi Yan could grab him back and stop him.

Qi Yan cursed inwardly and glared at his back that was getting farther. It was his mistake that he even invited those guys. But what could he do? He lost a bet last time and had to grant one of James' wishes. Coincidentally, that guy's wish was to attend the party hosted by the Song family.

As James continued to make his way to the empty table of the beautiful lady, the corner of his lips was raised. He was now staring at his prey even more openly as he approached.

After almost sipping half of the liquid in her glass, Ran Xueyi felt slightly tired. Before going out earlier that day, she had done a vigorous activity with Song Yu Han then they went to the shopping mall. She thought she could finally rest but in the end, she had to prepare quickly and head to the party before she was late.

It would be weird for her not to feel exhausted at all. Now, with no one else to talk to, the sleepiness she was driving away all day long was coming back to her now.

'Maybe I should go out to the balcony and take some fresh air to wake myself up.'

Ran Xueyi acted as soon as this thought entered her mind. It was better to admire the moon and stars outside the balcony than just sit there.

As a result, as soon as she stood up and turned around, she bumped into someone who was standing behind her. Ran Xueyi was shocked and could only stare when the red liquid from the person splashed on her gown.

"I'm so sorry!" The man's voice rang out in her ears.

Ran Xueyi looked at the wet spot where the red wine was splashed and frowned. Thankfully, the liquid was splashed on her sleeve and a bit on her front bodice. But it still looked slightly awful when people looked at her soaked gown.

"It's okay..." Ran Xueyi didn't get angry. Though she was upset that her gown was splashed with wine, she couldn't really selfishly blame the man since it was also her fault for not being careful when she stood up.

The man took out a white handkerchief with a faint scent of perfume and held it out to wipe it on her. A triumphant smile was on his lips but it disappeared as a concerned look replaced it.

After seeing that the man was intending to reach and use his handkerchief to wipe the liquid splashed on her, Ran Xueyi immediately refused and avoided him.

"Thank you, but there's no need," she said politely.

"How can that be?" The man looked a bit embarrassed. "It was my fault your gown is ruined. Why don't you let me help you wipe the liquid dry."

He tried to reach towards her again.

Ran Xueyi's eyes glinted dangerously. This man was not acting a bit too much.

Previously, she thought that it was an accident and the man really was blaming himself and wanted to help out. But he was acting overly determined to help her and was even trying to touch her. And who knows where he wanted to touch her?

Ran Xueyi didn't like being touched by someone else. It was due to her years of being an actress in the entertainment world and having met different kinds of fans and people who wanted to touch her without permission and were even using other means.

Now, faced with a situation like this, Ran Xueyi didn't want to act like she knew nothing about the man's intentions.

Moreover, she could feel a certain someone's gaze looking their way.

James didn't know what was going on inside Ran Xueyi's mind. However, her silence and refusal appeared to him like she was trying to act hard to get and bashful. It was adorable and futile.

"I know you've been staring my way since earlier. You don't need to be embarrassed with me now." James was quite proud of himself. "Don't be shy, baby."

Ran Xueyi: "..."

No... she wasn't being shy. She was just looking around because she was bored!

And can you please get away already? I'm afraid you'll be killed in front of everyone!
