Chapter 45: Kidnap

“You’re thinking too much. It’s just that my family doesn’t want me to get a divorce. As long as she’s still my wife in name, I’ll naturally protect her.” Chen Chen scratched his head, his eyes blurry as he looked behind the bar, unwilling to face Ye Lin.

“Hehe, are you sure you’re not jealous? Have you ever defended her on Hu Wan’s matter?” Ye Lin threw the wine glass on the bar. “Continue to lie to yourself. As a brother, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Don’t wait until you hurt her and you lose her completely before you regret it!”

Ye Lin grabbed his jacket and left, leaving Chen Chen behind.

As a friend who had watched Bai Ran grow up, he could not stand it.

Chen Chen did not care about him. He grabbed the wine glass tightly, his fingertips turning white.

Those words were like sharp knives that ruthlessly pierced into his heart.

When he thought of Bai Ran’s determined gaze, his heart hurt for some reason.

Did he really like Bai Ran…

The next afternoon.

“Ran Ran, I’m sorry. I have to work overtime today. I might not be able to send you back tonight.”

Jiang Yun quickly took the time to send Bai Ran a WeChat message.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I wanted to say this yesterday. You don’t have to send me off anymore. I can go back myself. But thank you!”

Bai Ran looked at Jiang Yun’s news and heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her relationship with Jiang Yun would become more and more complicated.

When it was time to get off work, Bai Ran went out and hailed a taxi to go home.

After getting into the car, Bai Ran saw from the corner of her eye that the taxi driver’s mask seemed to be bulging.

However, Bai Ran, who had been tired for the entire day, was unwilling to think too much about it. She sat in the backseat.

Bai Ran leaned against the seat and thought about Chen Chen’s recent behavior. She was gradually feeling sleepy.

Perhaps she had been exhausted by Chen Chen recently, but why did she feel so tired and sleepy alone today… This was Bai Ran’s last thought before she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, Bai Ran realized that she was lying in a very exquisite room.

She touched her forehead and felt a little dizzy. She had not completely woken up.

Soon, she surveyed her surroundings in a foreign manner.

Wasn’t she on the way home? Why was she here?

Bai Ran felt a little flustered for some reason. She looked down at her clothes. They were still intact and did not seem to have been touched.

Her body relaxed immediately. The next second, she seemed to have thought of something and hurried to look for her bag.

Her bag was placed at the head of the bed, but the phone inside was gone.

Bai Ran clenched her small bag tightly. She recalled the strange mask on the driver’s face in the car and her abnormal sleepiness…

There must be a device below his mask to prevent him from falling asleep!

Who was it? Who was guarding her workplace and pretending to be a taxi driver to knock her out? And who brought her here?

Bai Ran paced around the room, feeling a little lost.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

Bai Ran stopped in shock and grabbed her bag tightly, staring at the door with widened eyes.

“You’re awake. How are you feeling?”

The person was Huo Tian.

“Boss Huo? Why is it you?” Bai Ran was even more guarded. She did not dare to move, and her grip on her bag tightened.

“I’m sorry, Miss Bai. I invited you over in this way.” Huo Tian did not care and only apologized with a smile.

“Why did you call me over?” Bai Ran stared at Huo Tian tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.” Bai Ran tried to pass through the door, but she had only taken two steps when Huo Tian reached out to stop her.

“Miss Bai, don’t be in a hurry to leave.” Huo Tiantian took a step forward. “You just woke up. We haven’t said anything yet.”

Bai Ran followed Huo Tian’s rhythm and suddenly took a step back. She said cautiously, “What are you trying to say?”

“Miss Bai, you really don’t have to be so nervous.” Huo Tian smiled casually. “If I wanted to take advantage of you, I could have done so when you fainted, right?”

It seemed like it. When Bai Ran heard this, she relaxed a little. However, she then said, “But you took my phone.”

“I took the phone away because I didn’t want anyone to disturb my next conversation with Miss Bai,” Huo Tian said.

“Okay, then Boss Huo, please go ahead.” Bai Ran made up her mind and pulled a chair from the dressing table beside her over. She waved her hand and gestured for him to go ahead.

“Miss Bai, you’re so straightforward.” Huo Tian walked to Bai Ran and lowered his body. “You’re indeed the person I like.”

“Boss Huo, you’re joking. I think I’ve already explained it to you last time.” Bai Ran gripped the back of the chair tightly, but there was no fear on her face as she looked into Huo Tian’s eyes.
