Chapter 0136

Lin Ran smiled.

Would Luo Yao do the same? The answer was no.

In this world, no one understood Luo Yao better than Lin Ran, and no one loved herself more than Luo Yao did.

If one day he became the enemy of the world, he had no doubt that Luo Yao would destroy it all without hesitation.

"None of your business."

"Damn it, let my wife and son go!"

Lin Ran's gaze turned icy as he spoke slowly.

"Beg me."

"You... Dad Lin, please let my wife and son go."

A twisted smile curled at the corner of Lin Ran's lips.

"Fine. Then you’d better catch them."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Ran turned to Wang Bao.

"Strip them naked, tie them together, and throw them out."

Wang Bao was stunned, thinking to himself that Young Master Lin really knew how to have fun.

After saying this, Lin Ran left Suran Group.

When he reached the ground floor, he saw Lin Tianba waiting anxiously outside.

"You unfilial son! Where are my wife and child?"

Lin Ran grinned and patted his face.

"Don’t worry, they’ll be out soon."

With that, Lin Ran walked away without looking back. His mood was rather pleasant, though his poor eyes were the only annoyance—they were practically ruined today, unable to endure any more eye-searing scenes.

Lin Tianba tried to confront Lin Ran but was blocked by bodyguards. He then attempted to storm into Suran Group but was stopped by security.

"You ungrateful traitors! After all these years I’ve fed you, now you dare stop your master?"

All the security guards frowned. They had already been notified—Suran Group had changed hands.

Lin Tianba’s insults were too much for the security captain to bear.

"Sir, you are no longer the chairman of Suran Group. If you continue to insult us, don’t blame us for being impolite."

Lin Tianba panted heavily, his eyes burning with fury and hatred.

Just then, two figures wrapped in tape were "thrown" out, drawing the attention of passersby.

Lin Tianba immediately recognized them—his beloved wife and son. His eyes widened in disbelief.

"Lin Ran... you deserve to die—!"

The enraged roar came from Lin Tianba.

This humiliation hit harder than being forced to kneel before Lin Ran.

Lin Tianba took off his coat and draped it over Liu Yuemei and Lin Jian, holding them as he wept.

He called for a car, and when it arrived, he carried them inside.

Liu Yuemei and Lin Jian remained unconscious the entire time, only waking up later in the hospital.

Liu Yuemei, whose cast had yet to be removed, was rushed back into surgery. Lin Jian, upon waking, stayed silent, as if all life had drained from him.

Lin Tianba’s fury reached its peak.

Lin Ran’s actions today had completely severed any remaining familial bond.

From forcing him to kneel and beg for the shares, to throwing Liu Yuemei and Lin Jian out naked—

It was as if Lin Tianba’s dignity had been trampled into the dirt.

But what could he do?

With Luo Yao backing him, Lin Ran was practically untouchable.

"You unfilial brat, just wait. I refuse to believe you can stay this arrogant forever."

Meanwhile, Lin Ran returned to the manor to cook as soon as he left Suran Group.

As he always said—nothing in this world mattered more than his wife.

Only he could take care of her. Only he could love her.

After preparing the meal, he packed it up and headed to Luo Corporation, as naturally as ever.

Luo Corporation was thriving now, its executives brimming with confidence.

Even during the earlier scandal, they hadn’t been worried—though being harassed and insulted daily had dampened their spirits.

Now, with only positive news circulating, they were practically glowing with pride.

As Lin Ran walked through Luo Corporation, many nodded in acknowledgment.

This man was Luo Yao’s husband—their boss’s man. The intimate moment between the two outside the meeting room had already spread throughout the company.

Many had once assumed Lin Ran was just Luo Yao’s pampered boytoy.

But after the recent incident, they realized how wrong they were.

Turns out, their icy CEO could melt into a soft, submissive woman in his arms.

It shattered their worldview.

Lately, Luo Yao even smiled occasionally, handing out bonuses left and right.

The employees’ stress had plummeted, and with extra cash in their pockets, who wouldn’t be happy?

So, they came to a conclusion:

Why had Luo Yao changed so much? Clearly, Lin Ran had been "taking good care" of her.

Now, a new slogan circulated through the company:

"If Lin Ran performs well, employee bonuses will swell."

Let the moonlight shine bright, warming Luo Yao’s heart tonight.

When Lin Ran entered the office, Luo Yao was already seated at her desk, waiting. His heart swelled with happiness.

He unpacked the carefully prepared food and began feeding her.

Luo Yao ate slowly, savoring each bite, relishing the moment.

"Yao Yao, I acquired Suran Group. What do you think?"

"I want you," Luo Yao mumbled between chews.

"No, I’m talking about Suran Group. What’s on your mind?"

"You."

Luo Yao couldn’t care less about Suran Group. All she cared about was whether Lin Ran was happy, whether he still loved her, whether he was thinking of running away, and whether any other women had been shamelessly flirting with him lately.

Lin Ran chuckled. "She’s beyond saving," he thought.

And yet—he loved it.

"Alright, alright, my little princess. You’ll get everything you want... but you’ll have to wait till tonight."

After feeding his little demon, Lin Ran tidied up and said,

"Today’s the first day of shooting the short drama. The crew will be at the manor this afternoon, so I need to go back and check on things. Once you’re done here..."

He gave Luo Yao a look, leaving the rest to her imagination.

Ah, Ran wants me to come home early?

Warm Yao Media.

That morning, filming for the short drama officially began.

To everyone’s surprise, the company had cast Chen Qingtian as the female lead.

When she arrived at Warm Yao Media, the entire office was stunned.

Their company had enough clout to hire an A-list celebrity?

But the real shock came when Wu Zhishang himself took on the male lead role.

Instantly, the staff rolled their eyes.

You shameless, despicable man. You think we don’t know why you’re really here?

Chen Qingtian was annoyed but remained professional.

Annoyed because she had to work immediately after signing—Lin Ran was a true capitalist.

But professionalism was her trademark.

When her agent found out about the contract, they nearly came to blows.

Luckily, Chen Qingtian was an independent artist, and her agent was privately hired. She had the final say in her career.

Other companies would freeze disobedient artists—Chen Qingtian fired disobedient agents.
