“He’s such a distinguished man with such a formidable status. Why is he… How can he bear to kneel next to me in the mud like this?”
Then it occurred to Bai Ran that these thoughts indicated that she must have been moved by him.
“So, it’s actually that easy to be moved by someone.”
“You—”
Coming to this realization, Bai Ran could not help but want to say something. She wanted to tell Quan Rui to get up, to let him know that she was kidding and there is no need for him to help her like this.
But as soon as she uttered the first word, she was immediately interrupted.
“You need to focus on what you’re doing something if you want to succeed.” Quan Rui ignored Bai Ran and stuffed the umbrella into her hands. He continued searching carefully in the opposite direction she had searched across the lawn.
The umbrella was only big enough to shelter two people, so when Quan Rui moved away from her, he was immediately beyond the shelter of the umbrella.
The rain was still pouring down heavily at this point. He was going to be totally drenched in seconds without the shelter of the umbrella.
Bai Ran was stunned for a moment with the umbrella thrust into her hands. But without much hesitation, she moved to stand next to Quan Rui in order to shelter him with the umbrella.
“I can look for it on my own. There’s no need for you to—”
“It’s your engagement ring?”
“…Yes.” As Bai Ran could not follow his train of thought, she could only respond to his immediate questions.
“You still like Xu Chenglin? That good-for-nothing?”
“…!” Bai Ran did not like Xu Chenglin and she thoroughly agreed that Xu Chenglin was aptly identified as a “good-for-thing”.
But even though this was how Bai Ran felt about him, she did not think it was appropriate for her to say it out loud to this dangerous man.
She could not understand what Quan Rui was thinking about nor was she the least bit interested in why an outstanding and reputable man like him would stoop to this level for any reason.
So, Bai Ran did not give him a reply and Quan Rui did not slow down his search for her ring.
He calculated in his mind based on what he had seen and approximated that she had searched quite a fair bit of the area by the side already, so the area left for him to search was not large at all. They should be able to find the ring soon.
Quan Rui was fast. After he finished searching through one section of the lawn, he quickly moved on to the other.
As for Bai Ran… She was unable to focus on her search for the ring at all because she had been entrusted with the umbrella. Since Quan Rui moved very quickly, she had to follow him closely in order to ensure he did not get drenched by the rain.
Bai Ran ended up playing the role of a bystander in this search.
While the search for the ring was going on, George had already made the arrangements for the car and waited by the entrance for Quan Rui. When his boss did not emerge from the house after a long time, he entered the house to investigate what was going on.
He never expected to see Luo Wei, standing alone by the lawn, watching a man and a woman crouched on the ground in the rain.
George did not recognize the woman but the man…
“Isn’t that our Big Boss Quan?”
George instantly felt choked with emotion.
“What kind of earth-shattering transformation has happened here? I was merely gone for a short while…” George asked. He could hardly believe his own eyes!
“Our boss has always been far removed and reticent. What on earth is he doing now?
“He’s on the lawn with a woman I don’t recognize. What kind of situation is this? Are they searching for something?”
Luo Wei turned his head to look at George helplessly and shrugged his shoulders. “As you can see.”
As George watched the two of them move across the lawn, he took a careful look at the woman beside Quan Rui and then yelped abruptly in surprise. “Oh my god. Isn’t she the one we saw earlier on searching on the lawn?”
“Yes, she’s apparently also Jiang Yuanshan’s illegitimate daughter, the youngest daughter of the Jiang Family.” Luo Wei had worked for Quan Rui for a long time, so he knew the situation and understood what was happening.
“You’re aware that Boss never liked Jiang Bangyuan, don’t you? Since Boss has to marry a daughter of the Jiang Family no matter what, this illegitimate daughter seems to be better suited to his tastes.”
