Ji Ran widened her eyes, her little brain completely freezing up!
What is this?!
Even if Ji Ran was slow to react, she finally realized—wasn’t this the blush-inducing, heart-pounding story she had secretly read under the covers a few days ago?
Ahhhh!
How could it appear on Fu Jingyuan’s phone?
“Little maid Ranran, you did well. You really are a seductive little bunny.”
Just then, Ji Ran’s ears were filled with Fu Jingyuan’s scorching praise.
She could feel this man’s gaze on her was truly too intense.
Could it be… could it be that the two of them had just been roleplaying?
Ji Ran’s ears instantly flushed bright red!
Her voice stuttered as she pointed at the phone screen in shame and anger: “Uncle Fu, wh-what is this?”
“Playing dumb!” Fu Jingyuan raised an eyebrow. “Is little maid Ranran pretending not to know? Didn’t you send this to Uncle Fu because you wanted to play?”
She sent it?
At this moment, Ji Ran’s little brain completely stopped working. She thought for several seconds before finally, in her muddled mind, remembered the incident of sending the wrong file.
Ahhhh!!
Ji Ran now wished she could crawl into a hole! This was too embarrassing, ahhhh!
And Fu Jingyuan was still staring intently at her: “Good little maid, are you going to seduce me next?”
Seduce my foot!
Ji Ran couldn’t face anyone anymore.
She abruptly pushed Fu Jingyuan away, then, like she was fleeing for her life, her face burning red, she dove under the blankets on the big black bed!
“Ranran?”
Fu Jingyuan was momentarily stunned by her sudden move.
The little girl was already curling her toes in embarrassment, curling herself into a ball, stubbornly hiding under the covers.
“Uncle Fu… sob, I sent the wrong file, sob…”
“Don’t talk to me anymore, I can’t live with this…”
“I haven’t read that little smut story, believe me, sob… it’s so embarrassing… I just accidentally opened it and saved it under a different filename by mistake, I definitely haven’t read it…”
Such an obvious lie!
But clever as Fu Jingyuan was, he immediately understood the misunderstanding.
He clenched his knuckles tightly, his voice even more suppressed: “So, Ranran never intended to seduce Uncle Fu from the start?”
Under the little blanket, Ji Ran nodded frantically.
Sob, she didn’t intend to! She was trying to avoid it!
This was too embarrassing, too embarrassing!
The poor little girl had no idea that this misunderstanding would only make this man’s obsessive possessiveness toward her even more pathological!
Fu Jingyuan stared at her with reddened eyes for half the night!
And Ji Ran also tossed and turned over this matter all night. She didn’t know when the man left; her face burned red the entire night.
It wasn’t until the next day that she regained some clarity.
She suddenly remembered that there were now less than eighteen hours left before the time to take the contraceptive pill.
What should she do?
How could she escape?
So, Ji Ran started causing trouble from breakfast.
“I won’t eat!”
“Get out! All of you, get out!”
“I’m going on a hunger strike! I’ll starve myself to death! Hmph, let’s see how Fu Jingyuan explains this to my parents!”
Ji Ran was determined to start resisting.
But her bold and spirited demeanor came to an abrupt halt when she saw Fu Jingyuan at the basement door.
The man’s authoritative aura was overwhelming. His hawk-like, cold gaze pierced through Ji Ran.
It made the little girl immediately lower her head and shrink back in fear.
The little girl began nervously picking at her nails: “Uncle… Uncle Fu, why are you here?”
“To see Ranran scold me.”
Fu Jingyuan’s voice was cold and intimidating, startling the girl so much that she trembled violently. Remembering yesterday’s awkwardness, Ji Ran’s face flushed red and then paled.
“Uncle Fu… I, I didn’t mean to scold you.”
Ji Ran timidly bit her lower lip, not daring to look at him: “I… I just didn’t want to eat.”
Fu Jingyuan said nothing.
He simply took the breakfast tray from the servant, picked up a bowl of light meat porridge, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to the girl’s lips: “Open your mouth.”
“No, mmph!”
Ji Ran wanted to keep resisting, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fu Jingyuan’s face suddenly darken. Terrified, she could only obediently open her mouth and swallow.
But the little girl was far from convinced.
She muttered resentfully: “Mmph, I said I didn’t want to eat, but you forced me… Do I not even have the freedom to eat anymore?”
“You’re so mean…”
“Really mean.”
The little girl was quite the chatterbox. Throughout the entire meal, her babbling mouth never stopped.
However, while eating, she didn’t forget to open her big, red eyes and offer suggestions: “But… but the food Nanny Zhang made today is a bit too salty. Next time, make it lighter.”
Nanny Zhang, standing behind them: “…”
This little ancestor really never forgets to eat, even at a time like this.
The meal took half an hour of fussing before it was finished. Fu Jingyuan remained remarkably patient, frowning as he wiped the corner of Ji Ran’s mouth before standing up to leave.
“Uncle Fu, you… you’re not allowed to leave!”
Ji Ran grew even more aggrieved, her little face instantly turning pale.
She didn’t say anything more, but suddenly crouched on the ground, clutching her head in pain.
Fu Jingyuan quickly noticed her unusual behavior.
His earlier anger vanished instantly, replaced by a look of urgency as he rushed forward and picked her up: “What’s wrong, baby? Where does it hurt?”
Ji Ran mumbled an affirmative. Fu Jingyuan touched her forehead and realized it was abnormally hot.
Ji Ran had caught a chill from her antics the previous night and was now running a fever.
“Where’s Dr. Zhou? Hurry, call him over!”
Fu Jingyuan carried Ji Ran and hurried out of the basement, intending to take her to see his private doctor.
Suddenly, Ji Ran’s silly little brain remembered that Fu Jingyuan had always been extremely concerned about her health since she was a child.
Usually, whenever she fell ill, if she asked for the stars in the sky, this man would fetch them for her. If she brought up moving out now, it might actually work!
She was indeed feverish. Weakly wrapping her arms around the man’s neck, she buried her drooping, listless little head in his chest.
“Mmm, Uncle Fu, Ranran’s head hurts so much, it feels like it’s about to split open.”
“Ranran, be good. Dr. Zhou will be here soon!” Fu Jingyuan’s voice was urgent.
“Cough, Uncle… Uncle Fu…”
The little girl’s eyes were red. Though her first words were hoarse beyond recognition, they were still resolute: “Then Uncle Fu must let me move out, or else Ranran won’t see the doctor! Won’t take any medicine!”
“I’ll let myself die from this illness! Anyway, Uncle Fu doesn’t care about me! He just wants to control me!”
Her words nearly infuriated Fu Jingyuan to death.
He stared fixedly at Ji Ran, a sickly cold smile on his lips.
“It seems our Ranran has really grown up, learning to threaten me now? Tell me, who is that wild man outside? The one you’re so desperate to go find?”
“Is it the one who left marks on your neck?”
