Chapter 0450

"Lin Ran's gaze at Luo Yao just now was practically oozing love. The moment they walked in, his eyes never left her. Ugh, I'm so jealous—Luo Yao really has it all, huh? Good thing I recorded it. This clip is gonna go viral for sure."

"Did you guys miss the part where Luo Yao just kicked that guy to death? And here you are shipping them? Have you no humanity?"

"Yeah, I'll ship them if I want. What's it to you? That guy attacked them first—was she just supposed to take it? If you're so opinionated, why don’t you go get stabbed instead?"

As the crowd buzzed with debate, a team of bodyguards suddenly rushed in.

The bodyguards "borrowed" the onlookers' phones, "helping" them delete the footage of Luo Yao's violent retaliation.

Meanwhile, after Lin Ran's checkup, Dean Yi confirmed that his recovery was progressing well, with no major issues.

Only then did Luo Yao relax. She’d been genuinely worried about Lin Ran’s injuries, especially since she hadn’t exactly gone easy on him during his recovery.

By the time they left the hospital, You Qingnan had already been carried away.

Once they got in the car, Wang Bao began his report.

"Miss, we’ve confirmed the motive. It’s likely… Liu Ruxue," Wang Bao said, glancing at Lin Ran before continuing.

"Huh?" Lin Ran was baffled. Wasn’t Liu Ruxue in prison?

Wang Bao then detailed the findings, sourced primarily from official investigations.

By piecing things together, they connected the dots.

After all, imagination was a necessary skill for a bodyguard.

You Qingnan was something else—a devoted simp for Liu Ruxue, even more pathetic than Lin Ran had ever been.

Since Liu Ruxue’s imprisonment, You Qingnan had been tirelessly whitewashing her reputation online, even attempting to sue for a retrial.

Of course, it was all futile. The woman herself had confessed—what was the point of his antics?

So, You Qingnan spiraled. He spent his days ranting on campus about Lin Ran’s heartlessness and proclaiming his undying love for Liu Ruxue.

His theatrics earned him the title of "Jingda University’s Most Devoted Lover."

As the Lunar New Year approached, he couldn’t take it anymore and visited Liu Ruxue in prison.

But what he saw shattered him.

The goddess he’d obsessed over was now… disfigured.

Staring at her horrifically scarred face, You Qingnan recoiled in fear.

"Qingnan, I’m blind now. I’ll never be good enough for you. Forget about me. And remember—none of this was Luo Yao’s fault. Don’t you dare take a knife and go after her for revenge."

Those were Liu Ruxue’s exact words.

Leaving the prison, You Qingnan unraveled. Eventually, he chose this path of no return.

He knew Luo Yao was responsible for Liu Ruxue’s condition, and he swore vengeance.

But getting to Luo Yao was nearly impossible. Her status alone made her untouchable, let alone her entourage of bodyguards.

He wasn’t stupid. He knew conventional methods wouldn’t work and that no one would believe him.

So, he bided his time, waiting for the right moment.

By sheer chance, he learned of Lin Ran’s injury.

Internet sleuths had dissected Lin Ran’s livestream, piecing together clues about his health and even pinpointing the hospital.

Once again proving that netizens could find anything—except a significant other.

You Qingnan staked out the hospital, betting Lin Ran would return and Luo Yao would accompany him.

No matter what others said about their relationship not being genuine, he didn’t buy it. He could tell—Luo Yao was head over heels for Lin Ran.

He knew the feeling all too well.

He was certain Luo Yao would stick by Lin Ran’s side during his recovery.

Today was his first day lying in wait, and he struck gold—Luo Yao showed up. He took it as divine intervention.

So, he charged with a knife, only to fail spectacularly.

He guessed the beginning but not the ending.

"Though we don’t know exactly what Liu Ruxue said to You Qingnan during that visit, it’s clear she instigated this," Wang Bao concluded.

You Qingnan was an idiot. If you’re going to attack someone, at least research their capabilities first.

Forget Luo Yao’s status—did he really think her bodyguards would let him succeed? Not that she even needed them.

Her combat skills were legendary.

Luo Yao narrowed her eyes. She hadn’t expected Liu Ruxue to stir up trouble even from behind bars.

Lin Ran was equally stunned. How was Liu Ruxue still causing chaos?

Liu Ruxue wasn’t just disgusting—she was downright vile.

Clearly, her punishment hadn’t been harsh enough.

Lin Ran’s rage boiled over. Even though Luo Yao was unharmed, he was furious.

His beloved wife, whom he cherished more than anything, and this wretched woman dared plot her death?

In their past life, Liu Ruxue had killed him. Now, she was after his wife.

Enough was enough.

"I’m done. Wife, I’m going to end Liu Ruxue. I’ll have her shipped off to Southeast Asia."

Luo Yao gave him a strange look. "A-Ran, you’re not using this as an excuse to see her, are you?"

Lin Ran froze, then pouted. "Wife, how can you still doubt me? I told you—Liu Ruxue is just a turd I stepped on in life. You’re my everything. How could I even think of another woman when I have you? I want her dead for daring to target my Yao Yao. Unforgivable. I’m so mad."

Watching his tantrum, Luo Yao found him unbearably cute.

She gently silenced him with a kiss, her hand tracing the lines of his abs, teasing him into a frenzy.

Wang Bao, ever the professional, raised the partition without a word.

The car weaved through the bustling streets, Wang Bao’s driving skills on full display.

Abu, riding shotgun, looked impressed.

"Wang Bao, you’ve leveled up since our training days."

Wang Bao remained humble.

"No matter how good I am, I’ll never outdrive Miss Luo and Young Master Lin. They’re the real experts."

As the car rocked faintly, the two bodyguards exchanged knowing smiles and fell silent.
