Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife-Chapter 18 Prove It
"What is it? You don't like it?"
'I don't like it?' Ran Xueyi dazedly stared at him. She couldn't open her lips to say anything because of the sudden surprise attack that Song Yu Han had sent her way.
After realizing what he had meant, Ran Xueyi's heart was thrown into chaos as she screamed in her mind, 'Who doesn't want it? Even the cat in my house will accept you as her human boyfriend!'
When he didn't get an answer from her, Song Yu Han thought that his words weren't right. And so, he changed it into saying, "We can also become husband and wife. The civil bureau is just around the corner. We can go there after our lunch."
Hey, boss. Aren't you a bit too fast? Ran Xueyi held her tongue. The man sitting across her had just told her that they could become boyfriend and girlfriend before quickly changing it into wanting them to become husband and wife.
If this is a dream, please, don't wake her up!
Excitedly, Ran Xueyi tried so hard to turn the corners of her lips down as to not appear foolish in front of the man before her. But it was a difficult task to remain nonchalant and confident in front of him when he proposed to her.
"That... I am engaged." Suddenly asking her to marry him, Ran Xueyi didn't quickly answer him. Her engagement with Baihua was still in effect.
Even if she wanted to accept Song Yu Han's offer, it would be unfair if she didn't tell him the truth.
"I know." Song Yu Han told her. He leaned backward to his chair, and pulled on his collar, revealing a pale white skin underneath his shirt. His eyes didn't leave hers as he reached his hand downward, taking a brown envelope. He slipped the envelop on the table and said, "I don't mean to investigate your background, but I couldn't help it after what happened between us."
Ran Xueyi looked down. She took the brown envelope and opened it.
Inside the envelop were not only her information, things such as her awards, the dress shops she frequently visited, the friends she was close with; there were also the photos of herself when she had just entered the entertainment world till she stood on the stage to get her Best Actress award.
But that wasn't all. Even Yang Baihua's picture was in that envelope. But he wasn't alone. In the picture, he was always with his secretary, Song Qian. Ran Xueyi didn't think it was done deliberately by Song Yu Han, it was just that Yang Baihua and Song Qian was too close with each other.
One photo of them were captured in a parking lot. Ran Xueyi recognized the parking lot as the one at the Ran family's company. Yang Baihua and Song Qian was inside the car. Nothing seemed wrong about it since they have a boss and secretary relationship. However, the next photo was something that Ran Xueyi already anticipated.
In the second photo, Yang Baihua and Song Qian was in each other's arms. Their lips were locked together, seemingly too lost to each other's warmth that they didn't realize that someone took their pictures.
The rest of the pictures of Yang Baihua and Song Qian were still the same. Nothing changed from how sweet they were. Contrary to how Ran Xueyi and Yang Baihua acted towards each other, Song Qian and Yang Baihua acted more like a real couple who will soon get married to each other. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮
"Yang Baihua and his secretary have known each other since they entered the university. After some time of staying friends and classmate, they finally became lovers." Then he said after some pause, "When the two of them were planning to marry, the Yang and Ran family disclosed your engagement with each other. But even with your engagement, their love affair didn't stop."
Ran Xueyi bit her lips and didn't want to say anything to what he had just said. She already knew that Yang Baihua was cheating on her with Song Qian. However, she didn't expect that they were actually lovers since college days and continued to hide it from her.
"This... Can I take these pictures?" Ran Xueyi finally found her voice after calming down the turmoil inside her heart and asked.
"You have some plan?"
RaN Xueyi nodded. "Since they deceived me. I can't stay quiet and act like I don't know anything. If they expect me to turn a blind eye because of our families... that's impossible. I must make them pay what they owe from me."
Song Yu Han really liked how confident and courageous she was. Even when she had just seen the scandalous pictures of her fiance with his secretary, Ran Xueyi didn't show on her face that she was affected by it.
"That's good."
"Can I take these?" Ran Xueyi pointed at the envelope on the table. Song Yu Han nodded his head.
After that little event, the waiter came to their tables with the food they ordered. The red and snow white meat of the big lobsters made her forget about Yang Baihua and Song Qian.
The two of them ate in silence and when they were done, the used plates on their table was cleaned out.
"Thank you for the lunch and for this envelope, Mr. Song. I really appreciate it. I'll try to find a way to repay you the next time we met," said Ran Xueyi.
"Why not repay me now?" Song Yu Han suddenly said. Seeing how she looked confused, he continued to say, "I already said not to call me so formally. You can just call my name or better yet, call me Baby."
Ran Xueyi flushed. She felt her heart tremble for a little bit before she said after some time of thinking, "Mr. Song... When you said you want to register us as married couple to the civil bureau. Are you serious about it?"
Song Yu Han raised an eyebrow, "You think I'm lying?"
Ran Xueyi quickly shook her head and said, "No! But I think words are not trustworthy so, I thought maybe you could prove it with some action."
Song Yu Han was intrigued at how she was trying to catch him in a roundabout way, but he didn't despise it. Instead, he wanted to play along with her plans and find out what she wanted to do.
He stood up from his seat and looked at his watch. Then, he said, "Alright. There's still some time. Let's head out now and register our marriage."
