The security personnel of Luo Corporation were now in high spirits, a stark contrast to their previously downtrodden demeanor.
"You should leave now. Our manager said your cleaning methods are unprofessional—you're just making it dirtier. We've already hired professionals," they said.
The team leader was moved to tears. After how they had treated Luo Corporation, the company was now not only refusing their service but had even arranged for professional cleaners on their behalf.
He was genuinely touched—so much that he could cry.
Life returned to its usual rhythm, and Lin Ran resumed his daily routine of delivering meals to Luo Yao.
These days, Lin Ran had been pondering two questions.
First, what had shaped Luo Yao’s personality? Why had she become the way she was?
Second, should he acknowledge his ties to the Chen Family?
Chen Qingtian had repeatedly sent Wu Zhishang to contact him about it.
That night, after their usual "battle," Lin Ran sought Luo Yao’s opinion.
When in doubt, ask the wife—a wise choice.
If Luo Yao didn’t want him to acknowledge the Chen Family, he wouldn’t.
"Ah Ran, you belong to me alone. Why would you need other relatives?"
Luo Yao’s response was very much like her.
Lin Ran could only laugh helplessly.
"Fine, I’ll listen to you. Whether it’s true or not, I won’t bother with the DNA test. I won’t acknowledge them."
Pleased with his obedience, Luo Yao handed him a folder.
"No need for a test. I already had it done. You are indeed a Chen. This report just arrived today."
Bloodline verification was actually more complicated than paternity testing.
"You… how did you get their DNA?"
"Is that even a question? If I want something, I get it."
Lin Ran took the file, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"Alright, what else can I expect from Luo Yao? You’re my incredible wife."
He opened the report—it was indeed true.
"Ah Ran, remember this: even if they share your blood, they can never take any of your love. All of it belongs to me."
Lin Ran: "Of course. At most, I’ll meet them for a meal and ask about my mother. And I’ve promised you—I’ll come home to you every night, and I won’t seek out Liu Ruxue."
"Have I kept my word?"
Luo Yao shook her head.
"No. You did see Liu Ruxue."
Lin Ran: "She came to me! I never sought her out."
"Ah Ran… if you dare return to the Chen Family—"
Lin Ran immediately raised three fingers in oath.
"Luo Yao, I’ll stay by your side for the rest of my life. The Chen Family, the Lin Family—none of them matter more than you. If I’m lying, may my whole family—may my son be born without a—"
Luo Yao fell silent for a moment before repeating the words she needed to hear for reassurance.
"Ah Ran, I need confirmation."
"I love you. For a lifetime."
Reassured, Luo Yao nestled into his arms, and they fell asleep together.
The next day, Lin Ran asked Wu Zhishang to deliver the report to Chen Qingtian.
"My wife already verified it. It’s true, just as Chen Qingtian said. Tell her I acknowledge the connection, but I won’t return to the Chen Family. I’m busy, and my wife can’t bear to be apart from me."
"I’ll meet them some other time when I’m free."
Wu Zhishang was stunned.
Too busy to even visit once?
"Lin, Shen Jingbing got arrested again. This time it’s serious—Liu Ruxue is pressing charges. She claims he trespassed into her dorm and threatened her."
Lin Ran patted Wu Zhishang’s shoulder.
"Brother, just hire a lawyer. You know where Xu Kai’s law firm is. Send one or two lawyers to handle it."
"Do you know who can’t defend themselves?"
"Who?"
"The poor," Lin Ran answered bluntly. After a pause, he added, "We’re rich. Money solves all problems in this world."
At that moment, Wu Zhishang felt as if a door to wisdom had opened.
"Lin, I think we should invest more in our short videos."
Lin Ran nodded approvingly.
"Finally, you get it. Go ahead. Your brother is only rich in two things—his wife and his money. The wife is mine, but the money? Spend it however you want. It’s not like you’ll run out."
Wu Zhishang: ??? Are you even human?
Every day brought new events—some ordinary, some bizarre, some frustrating, some despairing.
For Lin Tianba, this day was one of despair and agony.
He repaid two bank loans, only to face a wave of tenants canceling leases. He was overwhelmed.
Construction sites halted, unsold properties piled up, and new shareholders demanded liquidation. He was at his limit.
For Liu Ruxue, it was a day of frustration. She reported Shen Jingbing to the police, but they demanded evidence—which she didn’t have.
She wanted Shen Jingbing locked away forever, but the officers told her even if he had assaulted her, the worst he’d get was a few days in detention and a fine.
A medical evaluation only showed minor injuries—far from meeting criminal standards.
With insufficient evidence and Shen Jingbing denying everything, Liu Ruxue could only watch as he swaggered out of the station.
All because she’d once ridden in Lin Ran’s Ferrari—why had this man fixated on her?
And it wasn’t even her who stole the keys—it was Lin Jian!
Liu Ruxue was breaking down. She knew Shen Jingbing would come for her again.
For Luo Yao, it was an ordinary day with an unusual twist—she was going on a business trip, a real one.
Luo Corporation’s latest pharmaceutical breakthrough, a drug poised to revolutionize medicine, required her presence to sign a crucial licensing agreement.
She hated being apart from Lin Ran, but there was no choice.
For Lin Ran, it was a bizarre day.
Not only was it the first night since his rebirth that he’d be without Luo Yao, but something happened that completely shattered his worldview.
The last time Luo Yao went back to the family estate, she unexpectedly returned by midnight. But this time, Lin Ran knew she wouldn’t be back tonight.
Lying on the soft bed, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
He had grown used to holding Luo Yao every night. Without her, he felt strangely unsettled.
"Meow!" A cat’s cry jolted him from his drowsiness.
Lin Ran got up and went to the balcony.
"Can’t sleep either?"
The black cat: "Meow—" [I sleep just fine, thanks.]
???
What the—? Did the cat just talk?
No, it hadn’t. It was still meowing.
But Lin Ran had somehow understood its meaning—as if the words had formed in his mind.
What the hell?
