Chapter 1492: Chapter 1414: Suspicion and Surprise
His gaze was like a piercing bolt of lightning, reaching straight into her heart. With an aura so overpowering, his invasive stare left Ye Ranran feeling as if her innermost thoughts had nowhere to hide.
Sure enough, he asked, “Who told you something?”
Ye Ranran’s heart skipped a beat. Did he sense something? How could that be? She had concealed it so well.
Suddenly, he reached for her bag.
She clung to it tightly, but he grabbed her wrist, skillfully pried her hand away, and took out her phone, scrolling through her contact list.
There was nothing unusual.
Ye Ranran felt an unexpected wave of relief. Her years of meticulous caution had paid off. When Jun Mochan warned her to guard against Fu Rong, she had deleted Fu Rong’s number from her phone and memorized it in her mind.
Furthermore, she would always delete the call history immediately after making contact.
“As long as you behave, I will naturally ensure their safety.” Fu Rong handed her phone back to her.
“You distrust me this much? You just said it yourself, that matter is dangerous. What if…”
“There are no ‘what-ifs.’ Your life was saved by me; it belongs to me. Without my permission, dare you try dying?”
And with that, the conversation ended inconclusively.
After dropping Ye Ranran off, Fu Rong went to investigate her call records. Clearly, he still didn’t fully trust her and needed to verify internal records to be at ease.
He naturally knew Jun Mochan was gone. But he also knew Jun Mochan’s character—they were the same kind of person. Whatever he set his sights on, he would obtain at all costs and never let go easily.
One glanced at the records on the computer screen, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. He pulled up the chat window and typed a line to Jun Mochan: “Master, just as you predicted.”
It turned out Jun Mochan, fearing that Ye Ranran might be exposed by Fu Rong, not only advised her to delete her phone’s call records but also instructed One to modify the telecommunications company’s internal records.
He was, without doubt, someone so meticulous it bordered on obsessive.
Jun Mochan: He won’t give up so easily. Keep a tight watch. Don’t let anything happen to Ranran.
One: Understood.
In his heart, he made a silent vow to protect their lady no matter what.
Back at home, Ye Ranran found herself still shaken. Unable to hold back, she called Jun Mochan.
At the same time, she voiced her lingering doubt aloud.
“If it were you, would you treat me that way?”
“Yes.” His reply was immediate, without a trace of hesitation.
Ye Ranran: “…” Are all men the same?
“But afterward, I’d have a proper talk with you. I understand you, and I hope you’ll understand me too.” She wanted to help, but he worried for her safety.
Perhaps it would lead to arguments, but wasn’t that what love was all about?
She would bicker, and he would smile—that was the most beautiful form of love, wasn’t it?
The frustration in her heart dissipated in an instant.
“Have we ever fought before?”
“Yes, but not often. What couple doesn’t argue? Without it, life would be unbearably dull, wouldn’t it?”
“You and I are only human. We make mistakes; we have emotions. Quarrels are inevitable, but they never last more than a day before we make up.”
As he spoke gently, she seemed to picture a loving couple. Though they occasionally stumbled, their hands never let go of one another.
“Jun Mochan, was I… happy before? Being with you, I think I should have been very happy, right?”
Surely, she must have been happy.
“I… I didn’t do well enough. I made you suffer a lot,” he said, his tone tinged with bitterness.
“You didn’t… betray me, did you?”
“Never. I’ve always remained pure and untouched. I haven’t been with any other women these past two years either,” he quickly clarified.
