She agreed with Li Ran on what she said about Lu Beichen. Compared to Lu Sichen, he is only fit to be a boy toy!
But she could not say that in front of Lu Beichen. Right now, she knows that she needs to hold on to Lu Beichen as tightly as possible. She knew that she can't get anywhere near Lu Sichen at least for now so she should hold on to Lu Beichen.
"Ah Chen, did Sister really say that? Ran Ran...she loves you at lot...she won't say something like that!" Li An said.
"Hmph! What love?! Who needs her to be in love with me? She's just a pawn that I'm using! What gives her the guts to look down on me?" Lu Beichen asked
Li Ran should be the one running after him, she should not be looking down on him and despising him! He is the one who should despise her!
Li An pursed her lips and said, "Why don't we go talk to sister? Maybe there is a misunderstanding somewhere?" Li An asked.
Lu Beichen frowned. He really did not want to talk to Li Ran. He really looked down on that dumb woman! But he also knew that he still has use for her. He can't just discard of her right now ..
"I'll talk to her" He said.
......
Li Ran was walking to the library when someone held her hand from behind. She turned to see Lu Beichen glaring at her furiously.
Li Ran's lips curled up in a cold smile. She had already seen the way he was acting at the breakfast table and she knew that he will probably come talk to her sooner or later. After all, she has always been an important part of his plan.
Li Ran looked at Lu Beichen and asked innocently "Is something wrong?"
Lu Beichen looked at Li Ran. He could not find anything wrong from her face . She still looked as clueless as always. It seemed that the person who had been talking about Lu Sichen with her friend earlier today was a different person.
Is Li Ran really this good at pretending? Or is she still an idoit as always? He could not tell anything from her face.
"Ran Ran...we need to talk" Lu Beichen said.
Li Ran almost vommited when he called her Ran Ran. She could see that even though he calls her so intimately, his gaze on her was filled with disgust!
How blind was she in the past to think that he was looking at her with love?
"Is there something that we need to talk about?" Li Ran asked. She was still playing dumb.
"Ran Ran...I....I just want to apologise to you. I'm sorry...I could not protect you" Lu Beichen said. He knew that he could not ask Li Ran if what he heard this morning was true or not. He could only aim to destroy the good image she has of Lu Sichen in her mind!
After all, Lu Sichen is the bad man who destroyed her love and forced her to get married to him!
"Apologise to me? For what exactly?" Li Ran asked. She was still playing dumb. Li Ran was really having fun playing around with this person like this.
Lu Beichen was starting to get frustrated. He really wanted to curse now. Does she really not know what he's talking about or is she just playing dumb with him?
"Ran Ran...I said that I'm going to protect you but I wasn't able to do that at all.... I'm sorry... I've let you down. You have to get married to someone that you don't want to..and I can't even do anything to help me. I know. I'm useless" Lu Beichen said.
Li Ran tried her best to stiffle a laughter. Does Lu Beichen really think that she's going to fall for some lies?
Oh wait...she did fall for them in her previous life. She was used over and over again by him and she did not even know.
In her past life, Lu Beichen always told her that he was sorry that he let her down and could not protect her from his uncle. While saying that, he will make sure to bad-mouth Lu Sichen too. Slowly, her impression of Lu Sichen worsened. Coupled with the fact that he raped her on thier weeding night, Li Ran just hated him to death and wanted to get away from him!
Thinking about it now, it was all Lu Beichen's plan!
"Actually Lu Beichen, I don't think that you need to apologise to me for anything. I think that it's not a bad thing to be married to your uncle" Li Ran said. Knowing how much Lu Beichen hates Lu Sichen, she was really looking forward to his expression.
However, Lu Beichen's expression did not change immediately. Instead he said, "I know that I'm useless Li Ran but there is really nothing that I can do! My Uncle...he will do anything to get what he wants. My grandparents don't even have a say I.... wait, what did you say?" Lu Beichen asked. He had already prepared the script that he would use to convince Li Ran and make her hate Lu Sichen even more.
He had already started talking before his brain registered what Li Ran said. Did she just say that Lu Sichen is not bad?! Lu Beichen's face darkened at once! What does she mean by this?!
Li Ran could no longer hold back her laughter when she saw Lu Sichen's dark face. She snickered. It turns out that he hasn't been listening to her at all! How did she even fall in love with this person and give him everything that she has?
"Didn't you hear me Lu Beichen. I said, I don't think that you need to apologise to me for anything. I think that it's not a bad thing to be married to your uncle" Li Ran repeated. Just as she had expected, she saw Lu Beichen's face go dark. In fact, for a second, Li Ran thought that he was going to lash out at her.
In the end, he just bowed his head and sighed.
"Li Ran, I know that I'm useless. It's not your fault if you don't want me anymore. I can't protect you. But Li Ran, don't you Love me anymore?" Lu Beichen asked.
Li Ran almost vommited when she heard the man talk about love. He dares to talk about Love with her? Why didn't he think about the love that she gave to him when he plotted ãgainst her and used her constantly? Why didn't he think about that?
How can someone be so disgusting?
Lu Beichen however, seemed like he could not see the disgust on Li Ran's face.
"Li Ran, I know that I could not protect you right now. But as long as you can wait for me, I'll be sure to bring you out of here. No matter what I have to do, I'll defeat my uncle so that you can have back your freedom!" Lu Beichen said.
Li Ran's heart would probably have started beating fast if she heard him say something like this. But now, that did not happen. The only thing that she felt for this man was a deep sense of disgust! Does he think that she's an idoit? Well, she was an idoit!
"Lu Beichen, I'm married to your uncle. I don't have any plans to divorce him or leave him. I hope that you can stop talking to me about love. Whatever relationship we had is in the past. Speaking strictly now, I am your aunt. I hope that you can give me the respect that I deserve!" Li Ran said.
She has already made it clear enough. She hoped that Lu Beichen will stay away from her. As for her revenge, she will have to think carefully and plan carefully if she wants to go against such a scheming man!
Lu Beichen looked at Li Ran. His eyes were red. He really did not think that Li Ran will ever say something like this. She used to love him a lot! Until a few days ago, she kept telling him that she wants him to take away his uncle! Why...why did things change overnight?
"Li Ran...why...why did you change over night? Didn't you use to love me a lot?" Lu Beichen asked.
Li Ran snorted when she heard this. She didn't change over night. She had experienced ten years of foolishness before this!
"Lu Beichen, you can't compare to your Uncle Lu Sichen...what makes you think that I'll leave him for you?" Li Ran asked.
She knew that this was going to annoy Lu Beichen. That was exactly what she was aiming for. To annoy him. Even if she can't do anything against him right now that doesn't mean that she will let him off easily he will annoy him to death! After all, annoying people is what she does best!
Just as she had expected, Lu Beichen's dark expression got even darker when she said this. In fact, Li Ran was sure that the man was fighting the urge to hit her right now.
