Chapter 655: Chapter 652: She is very courageous _1

The small path was covered in snow. When Ye Ranran stepped on it, the snow engulfed her high heels. She couldn’t make a move!

Left with no choice, Ye Ranran took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the snow!

The biting cold pierced her skin and permeated her every limb. However, Ye Ranran seemed oblivious to it, walking quickly yet gracefully ahead.

About fifteen minutes later, a house appeared before her, seemingly long abandoned!

The iron door was not locked; it was carelessly concealing the inside. Ye Ranran gently pushed and opened it!

The interior was a bit dark, and Ye Ranran’s eyes needed a moment to adjust. She stood motionless at the entrance.

The sound at the door made Chu Ji, lying on the floor, raise his head. The sight that he saw then is etched into his memory forever.

A woman stood against the light, like a fairy descended from heaven. She wore a beautiful smile, warm like a ray of sunshine on a winter’s day, melting hearts.

She held her high heels and walked slowly towards him, barefoot. Her porcelain feet were beet-red from the snow, yet she walked as if she felt nothing.

In her firm stride, the icy wind blew up the hem of her dress, accentuating her fragile figure.

Despite her frail body, she symbolized hope for everyone.

Her words, "I’ll protect you" echoed in his mind.

He initially thought that she was merely speaking empty words, but she had already helped him. Even if she didn’t come this time, he wouldn’t blame her.

"Didn’t I tell you not to come?" Was she foolish?

Going to such lengths, she seemed to be relentless.

"If I didn’t come, who else would have?" In contrast to Chu Ji’s exasperation, Ye Ranran was overly calm.

Her beaming smile made her seem like she was simply having a chat with a friend.

"You knew clearly..."

"So what if I knew? Since I made a promise to you, I intend to keep it. Besides, you risked your life for me, isn’t it right for me to rescue you?"

She isn’t a man, but she understood the need for loyalty among comrades. Otherwise, why would anyone risk their life for you?

Just for some money? For some sweet words?

Get real.

This world is so pragmatic!

The emotions stirring within Chu Ji were instantly shattered by Ye Ranran.

As her eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light, Ye Ranran saw Chu Ji chained to the floor, wrists and ankles bound with iron chains.

The chains were tied to a stake in the ground.

Chu Ji’s face was swollen; it was evident he had been beaten up. Ye Ranran guessed there probably were more injuries on his body.

"Can you stand up?" Ye Ranran went over, trying to help him up.

"Don’t bother, the chain is not long enough." Wen Zhi had done this intentionally, treating him like a dog.

Ye Ranran held the cold chain as if she felt nothing.

"Where is he?"

Without needing her to mention his name, Chu Ji knew whom she was referring to, and he looked behind her, "he’s behind you."

Ye Ranran turned around to find Wen Zhi, looking as sophisticated as ever in his suit, standing at the entrance as if about to attend a meeting.

"Ye Ranran, you really have guts," Wen Zhi said, admiring her.

He seemed to understand why Jun Mochan was so infatuated with her.

She was like the most tender water, invoking a protective urge in people; yet, she rebuffed everyone’s care except for the one she held dear to her heart.

"Your praise is too kind. In turn, I find you to be quite the beast in gentleman’s clothing," Ye Ranran evaluated him, then shared her thoughts.
