Chapter 21: Baby

Shi Ran woke up in a high-class hotel.

Her clothes had been changed; a new set of silk wine-red pajamas.

The surroundings were unfamiliar, and the room was empty except for her.

Could it be…

That she was taken to a hotel room by a foreigner?!

Oh my god!

If Lu Beiyan found out about this, wouldn’t he kill her?!

As it turned out, she was overthinking. Lu Beiyan, in a silver silk pajama set that matched hers, walked in carrying a glass of warm water.

Seeing him, Shi Ran couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In this life, being bitten by a dog was enough.

His face wasn’t looking good. He placed the water down expressionlessly, “Drink some water.”

Then he was about to leave.

Shi Ran quickly pulled back the covers and grabbed his hand.

“How did you find me?” The man’s cervical vertebrae were clearly visible at the back of his neck. The scent of mint-flavored shower gel was fragrant on his body, and water droplets still fell from his hair, clearly indicating he had just showered.

Lu Beiyan turned his back to Shi Ran, the veins in his neck bulging.

Coming to the US without his consent, how dangerous!

She dared to ask him how he found her!

He turned around, just about to get angry, to ask her why she came to the US, for that Shen Linyang, disregarding everything?

Seeing the girl’s bare feet on the glass floor, his brows furrowed, and he forgot about getting angry.

Subconsciously, he picked her up and put her on the bed.

Shi Ran frowned, thinking he was in such a hurry? Seeing her only for that matter? She clearly misunderstood Lu Beiyan’s intentions.

One merely wanted her not to catch a cold, while the other thought the other party couldn’t wait to sleep with her.

Fine, let him be happy, then things could go smoothly.

Thinking this, Shi Ran put her hand on his neck, and her bright red lips kissed his jawline first.

Lu Beiyan froze, his hands releasing, the girl falling onto the soft bed.

Seeing this man full of dirty thoughts actually pushed her away, Shi Ran was very puzzled.

Could it be that after coming to this glittering foreign country, he had seen the boldness and fullness of foreign girls?

Started to get tired of her? Disgusted with her?

While this was good news, it shouldn’t be at this juncture!

Men like to play hard to get, hot and cold. Could it be that she had been calling too frequently lately?

Lu Beiyan was equally shocked, his heart a whirlwind of confusion.

In the past, this girl would never be so proactive towards him. Every time he wanted to, he didn’t know how difficult it was, trying his best, playing the grandson, scheming, she was never in the mood.

Every time it was like she was being forced.

Suddenly so enthusiastic.

Was it for Shen Linyang again?

That man was so charming, able to make her do so many things she didn’t like?

Neither of them spoke, but each had their own thoughts.

Hundreds of thoughts combined.

Lu Beiyan couldn’t stay any longer and started walking out again.

Shi Ran panicked. Why was he leaving again? If he was going to avoid her, she wouldn’t be able to find him.

So Shi Ran ran off the bed again and hugged him from behind as he reached the door.

“Lu Beiyan, you bastard! Did you come to a foreign country, pick up a lot of foreign girls, and then plan to abandon me? You bastard! You’re fickle! You’re shameless!”

“Wow?!”

An unfamiliar voice made Shi Ran peek out from behind Lu Beiyan. Outside was a large living room, filled with seven or eight men in suits, each looking like a boss.

“No wonder, President Lu is in such a hurry… to come back, it turns out he’s hiding a beauty!” (Broken Chinese)

Everyone laughed.

Another foreigner said, “Mrs. Lu, we testify, President Lu absolutely did not pick up any girls here, he doesn’t have the time, he’s too busy!”

They were all foreigners who could speak Chinese.

Lu Beiyan: “Don’t look!”

The few foreigners turned around laughing.

“Then we’ll go first, wish President Lu a pleasant evening!”

After they left, Shi Ran pouted, “Why were there people?”

Lu Beiyan turned around, seeing her running out without shoes again, helplessly bent down and picked her up again, walking back into the room.

“They were here for a meeting.”

“Oh.”

Shi Ran got smarter. This time, when Lu Beiyan put her down on the bed, she stubbornly held onto Lu Beiyan’s neck and wouldn’t let go.

“Let go!” Lu Beiyan grabbed her hand.

“No.”

“What exactly do you want?” Lu Beiyan was somewhat helpless.

The girl’s bright eyes rolled, her face flushed red, and she said in a sweet voice, “For so many days, don’t you miss me?”

Lu Beiyan sighed, looking away, afraid that if he looked at her, he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

How could he not miss her? He was going crazy missing her.

He couldn’t sleep at night, and couldn’t relieve himself, only by constantly recalling her appearance in his mind could he find solace.

He had her phone location on, and yesterday, suddenly, for a few hours, he couldn’t receive her location on his phone.

Lu Beiyan felt like he was going crazy.

When he saw that the last location was the airport, he felt like his blood was about to explode.

His first reaction was that she dared to leave him!

She dared to run!

The plane had no network, so the location couldn’t be seen.

During those few hours when he couldn’t see her location, God knows how afraid Lu Beiyan was. He even chartered a private jet to go back and check which airport she bought a ticket to.

No matter how far, he would bring her back.

Later, just as he boarded the direct flight, he thought of a flaw.

Her grandmother was still under his surveillance, and logically, she shouldn’t have run away.

There was only one possibility, she had come to find him.

The moment Lu Beiyan figured it out while sitting in the helicopter, he suddenly felt ridiculous. Usually, even if the sky fell, he could remain calm and deal with it without blinking, but he was always flustered when it came to her.

There were many airports in the US, and Lu Beiyan had people waiting for her at each airport.

Those idiots, after seeing her photo once, couldn’t recognize her at all.

Until the location signal started flashing again, those useless people still said they couldn’t see Miss Shi.

It was very far from where he lived, that airport.

He had to drive his sports car there.

He found her according to the location, walking alone on the street.

He followed her.

He was afraid that if he went up to her, she would scream and beg him to let Shen Linyang go.

He was afraid…

Until later, when the girl seemed to be asleep on the sofa, he went up and picked her up.

Seeing that he still had a serious expression, Shi Ran pouted, “Why do you always look like everyone owes you millions? Can’t you smile more?”

“Just say what you need to say, I still have work to do.” Lu Beiyan supported himself on the bed with one hand, his neck tightly bound by the girl, his gaze still not daring to look at the girl in front of him.

“Why aren’t you looking at me?”

Shi Ran tightened her grip, and Lu Beiyan’s face was less than three centimeters from hers.

She could even hear the man’s thumping heartbeat.

A man who contradicts himself!

“Baby this, baby that, baby wants it but doesn’t care?”
