Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Stop Fooling Around

A few days ago, Ah Yan told her that Lu Jinglun’s second uncle had someone watching her parents, threatening her with them.

Actually, she had planned to marry Lu Jinglun originally, but his second uncle’s actions only solidified her determination to step into the cage of marriage.

Her parents are old, she can’t ignore them.

People like them have very few choices, and being threatened is something that could happen at any moment.

Wen Ran realized the call was still connected, returned from her thoughts, and spoke in a deep voice, "Regardless of any grievances or misunderstandings you have with your elders, Ah Yan wouldn’t be the one to betray you. She only wants to marry you because she has her own difficulties. If you can avoid it, do so. If you can’t, just consider the marriage a mutually beneficial arrangement."

"Then what about you and Ah Lie?"

"A marriage of convenience."

Lu Jinglun laughed upon hearing this, "Little White Rabbit, are you deceiving me, or yourself? If you only see it as a marriage of convenience, then why were you so down when you answered my call just now? Have you fallen for him? And did he break your heart because of Jiang Wan Ning?"

Wen Ran’s secret was hit, and her face turned pale. "Mr. Lu, you should manage your own affairs first."

With that, she ended the call on her own.

As soon as she hung up, Wen Ran dialed Fu Chenlie’s number again.

This time, the call went through.

Upon hearing the phone being picked up, a wave of tension arose within her, afraid that the voice at the start would be a woman’s.

Fortunately, it was his own voice, "Madam, what’s wrong?"

"Why didn’t you come home last night?"

"Last night, as soon as Wan Ning arrived at the villa, she fainted from exhaustion due to the flight. I called in a doctor for her examination, and the doctor said her condition wasn’t good and suggested I stay until she woke up."

Wen Ran’s expression gradually darkened.

However, her tone was still relatively even when questioning, "So you stayed with her the whole night?"

Fu Chenlie evaded, "She’s awake now, I just took her to the hospital for a check-up."

Not denying was as good as confirming.

Wen Ran naturally understood.

She pressed further, "What exactly is wrong with her?"

"Not sure yet, she didn’t say."

"Alright, I won’t ask anymore, but you promised you’d be home last night. I waited for you until four in the morning. You didn’t come back and didn’t even call."

His explanation was, "It all happened unexpectedly last night, and it was very late. I didn’t want to disturb your rest."

She clenched her lips, "What about this morning? Why didn’t you call me?"

"I took Wan Ning to the hospital for her check-ups, was quite busy."

"Doesn’t she have her friend Xu Tong in Jiang City? Why did she need you to accompany her to the hospital? You are my husband; you should care more about me, not another woman."

By the time Wen Ran finished speaking, she couldn’t foresee what reason that man would give.

Until he said—

"I don’t trust Xu Tong to handle it."

"And you don’t trust Cheng Cheng either? Do you have to personally take care of Ms. Wan Ning for you to feel assured?"

Fu Chenlie paused.

After a few seconds, he spoke in a tone as if trying to calm things down, "I will be back at the company this afternoon, Madam, please don’t be difficult, hmm?"

Wen Ran rolled her eyes, suppressing the anger in her chest.

Not wanting to push him further away, she adjusted her temper and took the initiative to ask him, "Do you need me to pick you up from the hospital?"

"No need, Madam, just take a rest today. If you have time, you can hang out with friends. I’ll be home for dinner with you tonight, alright?"

"Alright, but this time, you can’t break your promise again."
