Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

The heavy and overwhelming feeling in his heart was lifted and Song Yu Han couldn't stop himself from pulling her into his arms and hugged her.

Truthfully, he was already prepared to hear Ran Xueyi wanting a divorce. He knew that their marriage was only for convenience, but he fell for her for real. As for what she really felt for him, only Ran Xueyi knew it herself.

Besides, Song Yu Han wasn't really asking for more for now while knowing that she was still hurting deep inside from the betrayal she received from her loved ones. Thus, he was willing to wait for her to accept him.

However, if Ran Xueyi really wanted to divorce him because of his deception, he won't stop her. He had no right to do that. However, he wished they could still be friends and be there for each other.

Unbeknownst to what he was thinking, Ran Xueyi was surprised at his embrace. She wanted to avoid it, but her body betrayed her as she welcomed him into her arms. She felt him tremble, but didn't see him in tears.

Ran Xueyi awkwardly patted him on the back and leaned back on the sofa with him and let him embrace her tightly. He was like a broken child seeking comfort in a turbulent time. And she was willing to give him that comfort and warmth.

A few minutes earlier, they were on the verge of a cold war. She even considered not talking to him at all, but she chose to hear his explanation and know the truth from his mouth before deciding what to do.

But now, they were hugging each other like lovers would do.

After a long moment, Ran Xueyi felt the body on top of her relax. When she looked down at him, she saw his eyes closed. He had fallen asleep on top of her while his head was leaning against the crook of her neck.

'Ping!'

Ran Xueyi reached for her phone and saw Liu Ran's message on the screen, telling her that he found a broker and will work on the business registration tomorrow and ask her if she's feeling alright now.

After sending her reply, Ran Xueyi slowly closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep.

...

At the same time.

Inside the Old Master Ran's mansion.

Grandpa Ran threw the folder in his hand on top of his desk, letting the papers inside it slip and scatter on the ground.

He glared at the man before him and nodded angrily. "Good! It seems that I have been out of the society for too long that even the Yang family doesn't see me in their eyes anymore."

The man standing before him held in the shiver that climbed up his body and bowed his head. He was the younger brother of Yang Welong, Yang Baihua's father, Yang Xiulin.

"Old Master Ran, it's not that my nephew was not at fault here. I tried to tell him that he shouldn't get closer to his secretary. However, they have been a couple since they were young and reluctant to part. Besides, this isn't the first time for a man of our status to have one or two women in their lives."

Grandpa Ran fumed at his words and banged the tip of his cane on the ground, producing a very loud noise inside the study. "How dare you! My Ran family doesn't want your Yang family's son! And yes, this isn't the first time for a man in our circle to keep a woman or two behind the legal wife, but that doesn't mean I will let my precious granddaughter suffer under your family's hands!"

"But father--"

"Shut up!"

Grandpa Ran whipped his head to the voice and glared murderously at Ran Mo Zheng, this inept son of his. "Ran Xueyi is your daughter and my granddaughter. And yet, how have you been treating her? Is she so inferior in your eyes that her life and death is no longer important to you?"

Ran Mo Zheng bit his lips and looked away in shame. He didn't deny what his father said.

In the past, he once loved Ran Xueyi as his daughter. He treated her as a precious pearl in his palms. Years passed, Ran Xueyi grew into an outstanding woman and even entered the entertainment industry and took the top spot. At that time, Ran Mo Zheng was so happy for her.

However, things soon changed when he heard the talks about his father giving away all his assets and wealth to this little girl.

On what basis must she inherit what was supposed to be his? He was the son of the legendary couple in the Ran family. He should be the one who would bask in their glory and receive the inheritance from his parents.

And yet, one day, he made a mistake during a contract proposal worth billions, angering his father.

In his anger, Old Master Ran mentioned that he would give all the company shares and family assets to his eldest daughter, Ran Xueyi, who excelled in everything.

Ran Mo Zheng was blinded with anger and jealousy. The company shareholders had been discussing the handover of the position of the chairman once Old Master Ran retired to the next successor. They even mentioned their interest to see Ran Xueyi's growth and considered her in the meeting. Of course, these were all inside jokes that the shareholders were just spouting off.

However, the mere mention of his daughter's name from their mouths and remembering how his father, the old master Ran, mentioned giving everything to her, Ran Mo Zheng took action before the bud could completely bloom.

He cut off the wings of the butterfly before it could fly away.

With extensive and detailed planning, Ran Mo Zheng suppressed Ran Xueyi using Yang Baihua. His wife, knowing what happened and the fact that Ran Xueyi will solely receive all benefits without leaving anything to her and her husband and other daughter, she helped him deceive their own daughter.

"The Yang family will treat her well, father." Ran Mo Zheng insisted on his personal goals. "Although Yang Baihua is committed to his lover now, no one knows if it will change tomorrow? Besides, with Ran Xueyi's beauty, how could she not get the young master's affection? With effort, she'll surely make him fall for her."

Grandpa Ran looked at him in disbelief.

Was his son serious? Was he actually going to make his daughter act like a kept woman vying for a man's affection?

How ridiculous!
