One sleepless night, Xinran woke up early with heavy dark circles under her eyes, her hair disheveled over her shoulders. Her gaze was dull as she stared blankly at her surroundings, lost in thought.
After a long moment of daze, she seemed to come back to reality. She slowly got out of bed and walked to the living room, turned on the television, and leaned against the sofa. The remote control flipped through channels randomly, and unsurprisingly, every entertainment news channel was broadcasting the romantic scene directed by Mu Shaosi from yesterday. Even lifestyle channels were covering it; it seemed that her news had escalated beyond mere gossip and had become a societal issue!
Throwing the remote aside, Xinran buried herself in a pillow, lying back on the sofa. At this moment, she wasn't being a coward; she simply didn't know what to do. She was angry at Mu Shaosi—very angry—angry at his shamelessness, his domineering nature, and for pushing her into such a helpless situation. But what could she do about it? Fly to Japan to confront him? Could they even settle their accounts?
Just then, her phone began to ring. Normally, she would have turned it off to avoid being disturbed by paparazzi, but there was only one number that could reach her: her dad's. She recognized the ringtone well and could guess why he was calling at this time.
“Dad, what's wrong?”
“Ranran, are you okay? Dad is a bit worried about you.” Her father's voice came through, sounding somewhat aged. Xinran knew he cared for her, which lightened her bad mood a little.
“Dad, I'm fine. Don't worry.”
“Ranran, I saw the news saying you’re pregnant and have run away from home. How could this happen? I must be so neglectful of you that I didn’t even know such a big thing was happening. I’ve only seen him once; I really don’t deserve to be your father. I’m sorry for Pingping!”
“Dad, listen to me. There’s nothing between us; I’m just being stubborn. We’ll make up soon. I didn’t run away from home; we aren’t even married yet—how could I run away?” Xinran frowned. Damn Mu Shaosi! He made her dad feel so guilty; he owed her so much. She would eventually make him pay for this—not only ruining her reputation but also making her dad upset!
When they first got married, he claimed it was only for three months, so she didn’t dare tell her dad for fear of worrying him about her future happiness. Now that their relationship had become so complicated, she still couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth. She believed that revealing such facts would only make her dad feel more guilty. Even she regretted agreeing to Mu Shaosi's terms in a moment of weakness. But she also understood that under those circumstances, for the sake of Xia Sheng Group, she had no choice but to agree; there was no room for regret.
“But if you really are pregnant, don’t hold a grudge against him. Although you’ve only met once, Dad can see that he treats you well. You two should discuss things and get married soon; it wouldn’t look good if your belly gets bigger before the wedding. Ranran, please listen to your dad,” Xia Mingda said earnestly. In his life, he asked for nothing but for his beloved daughter to be happy.
"Dad, actually I'm not pregnant. He just wants me to go back to him and said that on purpose, so don't worry, there's nothing between us, really nothing. I promise you I'll be very happy, okay? You also have to promise me that you'll take good care of yourself, right?"
"Silly girl, always bringing your dad into this. Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. You get back to what you're doing."
After hanging up the phone, Xinran sighed lightly. Even Dad believed this farce; what else could she do? Was she really going to stubbornly gamble on a whim just to defy Mu Shaosi? She was already deeply in love with him and truly cared about how much he loved her and how deep that love was.
It seemed that the deeper the love, the more insecurity it brought. That's why she preferred to keep her distance from him; only then could she feel a little at ease. But even if she ignored Mu Shaosi's unreasonable entanglements, could she really let go?
