Chapter 0432

【One Hundred and Five Men and Three Women’s Story】: I heard Luo Yao might already be dead, and Lin Ran hasn’t shown up in a long time either. Do you think this rumor is actually true?

【There’s Always a Villain Trying to Steal My Master】: You said it yourself—it’s just a rumor. I don’t acknowledge anything unverified. I believe they’re fine. After all these years, Lin Ran is the only influencer who ever treated me like family.

【The Sick Beauty Returns to the Rich Family, and Her Brother is Obsessed】: Are you sure Lin Ran is just an influencer? What nonsense are you spouting? A single strand of his hair could buy your life.

【Battle for Supremacy—The Feuds and Romances of the Three Tycoons】: Breaking news—the CEO of Luo Corporation hasn’t shown up for work since the annual meeting. How long has it been now?

【After the Ex-Wife’s Death, Boss Xiang Lost His Mind】: Seriously? Could the tycoons really be gone? I heard people at their level have tons of enemies. It’s possible they were assassinated.

Lin Ran naturally saw these comments. Logically, someone of his status shouldn’t be bothered by internet trolls’ nonsense.

But anyone daring to claim Luo Yao was dead pissed him off—no, it downright enraged him.

Us acting out our drama is one thing, but you lot making wild guesses is another.

Especially since so many netizens were @-ing him, he decided to go live for just one minute.

The camera turned on, revealing Lin Ran’s slightly haggard but icy expression. First, a beauty filter assault, then a cold stare into the lens—before finally flashing a perfect set of pearly whites.

"Hey fam, heard you missed me?"

【Three Thousand Disciples Fell for Me】: Holy shit, Lin Ran’s back! Bros, Lin Ran’s live! Happiness is here! We’re saved—!

【One Hundred and Eight Ways to Die】: Lin Ran, did you just wake up? Where even is this? That luxury bed looks insanely comfy. Is this the villa at Dongtian Manor?

【The Big Shot Who Was Crushed for Five Hundred Years】: Lin Ran, I heard Luo Yao died and you ran off. True or false? If she’s dead, do you inherit all her wealth? Wait, is this even the real Lin Ran? His vibe feels off.

Lin Ran: "Your wife’s the one who’s dead. Your whole family’s dead. Too much free time during the holidays, huh? You rumor-mongering dogs—if you’re so creative, why not become screenwriters? Join the Strategic Deception Bureau? Or go scam your mom for New Year’s money? Wasting your talents on keyboard warfare? Used to be scared of lawyer letters, but not anymore? Want me to call my wife online to ‘gift’ you something?"

【After Landing on a Deserted Island, I Wiped Out My Team】: Wait, is Lin Ran always this savage? First time watching his live—is this normal?

【After Three Marriages, I Fell for My Rival】: Yep, this is Lin Ran. That mouth of his is his ID card.

【Two Male Leads Cosplaying in the Wild】: Come at me, bro! Show me how you’ll ‘call your wife.’ I wanna see Luo Yao on camera (^.^).

Just then, Luo Yao walked into the bedroom after finishing work online. Lin Ran instantly turned pitiful.

"My sweetest darling, someone’s bullying your hubby."

The chat froze for three seconds—then exploded.

【Lin the Tyrant Has Ascended】: …Wait, what did he just call Luo Yao? Did I hear that right? Feels like Lin Ran’s acting cute at me—ugh, my skin’s crawling.

【Love is Sinless; Forced Love is Freedom】: No one else finds this sweet? I’ll take this dog food first, y’all do whatever.

Luo Yao noticed Lin Ran was live and smiled, walking over to glance at the camera.

A single look from her slaughtered the chat again—hard-locking the stream for another three seconds.

"Don’t worry, A’Ran. I’ll handle it. I’ll track down everyone who bullied you and let you deal with them."

Lin Ran: "Spreading rumors isn’t their crime—their mouths are the problem. When you find them, go easy. Just sew their lips shut."

Luo Yao: "I’ll have someone design a lip-stapler. One gentle press, and their mouths will be sealed like documents."

You can’t hide love in your eyes—nor the look of spoiling someone.

Lin Ran tilted his head to meet Luo Yao’s burning gaze as she leaned down for a kiss, captured live by the camera.

Luo Yao had appeared.

【Deliciously Adorable】: HOLY SHIT, Luo Yao’s glare before she spoke almost killed me. Lin Ran, your wife gave me heart palpations—compensation required.

【When Night Falls, Close Your Eyes】: WAHHHH! So beautiful! So sweet! Do you know how depressing the last few chapters were? How I suffered? Feed me more sugar or I’ll kneel and beg.

【Pure Love is Invincible】: Luo Yao’s stunning. I’d heard she was gorgeous, but not this level. Lin Ran’s eating too good.

【Hush Hugs】: I’m your CP fan! Can we attend your wedding? Keep streaming—don’t stop.

The kiss ended. Seeing the comments normalize, Lin Ran flashed a rare smile before abruptly ending the stream.

"Alright fam, adult time now. Bye-bye."

The live broadcast shut off, leaving netizens furious.

【I’m a Historian; This is Royal Porn】: Who said Lin Ran treats us like family? This is inhuman! Turn the stream back on!

【I’m in Edu-Training (a.k.a. ‘Cram School’)】: I’ll pay! I’ll pay, okay? Don’t make me kneel and beg!

As the stream ended, Luo Yao climbed onto Lin Ran, restraining herself as she hovered over him.

"Yao Yao, it’s fine. I want you too."

"But A’Ran, what about your injuries?"

"I won’t move. You do the work."

Lin Ran used to believe men should take the lead. Now? Being passive felt pretty great.

This kind of joy—you’d know if you’d tried it.

Luo Yao carefully claimed him.

Time melted as passion peaked...

"A’Ran, back then—when you pushed me away, was it instinct? Or...?"

"No time to think. Every cell in me refuses to let you get hurt," Lin Ran answered without hesitation.

Luo Yao happily nestled into his arms, growing addicted to the feeling of skin against skin.

With their holiday still ongoing, the two indulged in shameless bliss.

That night, after Luo Yao fell asleep, Lin Ran lay with closed eyes, thinking.

He had unfinished business: uncovering Little Black’s past, checking on Wang Anjian, marrying Luo Yao...

Once all that was done, he could peacefully be Luo Yao’s personal warm man—no, wait, life partner.

Lin Ran sensed that Little Black and the Luo family’s secrets might still yield major drama—and it involved both him and Luo Yao.

It was time for Little Black and Luo Yao to formally meet, to give the little guy a fighting chance.

This kid—er, this cat—is under too much pressure.

Speaking of which… where was Little Black?

Only now did Lin Ran remember the tiny black feline.
