On the way home, Qin Ran sat in the car, but her thoughts were wandering. Not only did she subconsciously trust Mo Chi now, but she also wanted to protect him. She knew that he was in the arms business, and she also knew that Du Xing was from the Military and Political Affairs Office. She was afraid that he would cause trouble for him, so she didn’t say a word.

  There was no need for evening self-study on Friday night. Coupled with the weekend tomorrow, Qin Ran was excited about her upcoming holiday life.

  Su Nan was also thinking about where to go this weekend.

  Actually, although Qin Ran and Su Nan had a dormitory, Qin Ran went home every night. Su Nan also only sleeps in the dormitory two or three nights a week. The Mo Residence and Su Nan’s house weren’t far from Q University.

  Class ended at five o’clock sharp on Friday afternoon. Qin Ran and Su Nan skipped out of the school gate. Qin Ran was puzzled after she sent Su Nan to the Su family’s chauffeur’s car. Butler Zhang would arrive early and not late when he’s picking her up. Moreover, the butler had a copy of her class schedule. Why hadn’t she seen the car today?

  Just as she was feeling puzzled, she received a message from Butler Zhang.

  “Young Madam, the situation today is a little special. I’ll have to trouble you to turn 300 meters left from the school gate and then turn 500 meters left. I’m waiting for you here.”


  What was going on?

  After many years of special life experiences, Qin Ran’s first reaction was that there was a conspiracy. An absolute conspiracy. Hence, she turned on the phone and dialed the number.

  “Butler Zhang, what’s the special situation?” Qin Ran asked bluntly after the call was connected.

  “Young Madam, come over according to what I sent first. You’ll know when you come over.”


  “Butler Zhang, did someone kidnap you?”


  “No, no. Please, come over first!”


  The more anxious Butler Zhang was to let her go over, the more Qin Ran felt that something was wrong. It seemed like there was not much point in calling this number. She wasn’t afraid since she had so many enemies. She tightened her backpack and walked over step by step according to the route on the message.

  Qin Ran got closer and closer after two left turns. At first, she felt that the car’s appearance was the one she usually sat in. When she got closer, she saw the license plate number clearly. It was indeed that car.

  Qin Ran carefully opened the car door and was instantly stunned by the scene before her.

  The car was full of roses. Bright red roses. Then she felt someone approaching from behind.

  “Ranran.” This familiar voice belonged to Mo Chi.

  She turned around and saw Mo Chi, who was holding a large bouquet of roses, standing against the light and looking at her with clear eyes.

  “This is…” Qin Ran was a little confused. Why was there such a huge commotion for no reason?

  “Do you like it?” Mo Chi handed the bouquet to Qin Ran, his gaze intensifying.

  “I… I like it.” Qin Ran obediently held the rose in her arms. Who could tell her what Mo Chi was up to?

  The slender Qin Ran looked cute among the hundred or so roses so Mo Chi couldn’t help but reach out and rub her little head. “Today is a special day. I must make you remember it for the rest of your life.”


  A special day? Qin Ran’s mind spun rapidly. What day was it today? Mo Chi’s birthday? The anniversary of their marriage? The anniversary of their first meeting? None of them were. The closest thing should be her own birthday in two weeks. But that was two weeks later! So what exactly was today’s big day?

  A puzzled expression piled up between her brows.

  “What’s wrong?” Mo Chi asked.

  Qin Ran’s dark eyes rolled around. Since she really couldn’t think of anything, she might as well ask directly, “What… What day is it today?”


  As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Chi’s expression changed from sunny to cloudy.

  “You don’t remember?” Mo Chi’s voice clearly lacked the joy from before.

  “Do I know about it?” Qin Ran was puzzled. The prerequisite for not remembering something should be that she knew about it before. However, today was really ordinary. What did she need to know in advance?

  “You don’t know?” Mo Chi’s tone changed, forming a contrast with when he first spoke.

  “I… really don’t know.” Qin Ran shrugged. If she knows, she knows, and if she does not, then she really does not know it. She had maintained the good quality of being honest.

  Qin Ran watched as Mo Chi pursed his lips and took a deep breath, as if he was forcefully suppressing the anger that was about to spew out. Then, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth, “Get in.”
