Chapter 048

Lin Jian nodded at her, and Liu Ruxue took a deep breath.

"Alright! I'll go."

Then, Liu Yuemei and the other two got into the car and left, leaving Liu Ruxue alone. After some thought, Liu Ruxue sneaked back to the hotel entrance.

"What is Ruxue up to?" Liu Ritian wondered.

Lin Jian: "I just saw her best friend and told her about it. She said she wanted to go back to school with her friend."

Liu Ritian snorted coldly: "Hmph! She’d rather stay at school every day than come home. She’s grown up and has her own ideas now."

But he didn’t say much more, thinking he’d talk to Liu Ruxue about Lin Ran’s situation next time.

Driving the car, the three of them headed to the hospital.

Lin Tianba was just sick, not dead.

At this moment, their concern would surely move Lin Tianba, so they decided to stay by his side.

Lin Ran and Wu Zhishang walked out of the hotel, with Wu Zhishang still in a daze.

"Brother Lin, are you really the owner of this hotel?"

Lin Ran nodded: "Seems like it. My wife probably gifted it to me, but I just found out."

Wu Zhishang felt like his entire worldview was under attack.

"Damn, bro, look at me. Do I have what it takes to be a kept man?"

Lin Ran glanced at Wu Zhishang: "What about your girlfriend?"

Wu Zhishang looked embarrassed: "Bro, I’m just joking. I wouldn’t actually do it."

"But your wife is way too good to you. I overheard people saying this hotel is worth at least five billion. What does your wife even do?"

"She’s a professional at keeping me."

"Damn! Just kill me now! This is too much to handle."

Lin Ran: "Seriously, bro, have you ever thought about being a kept man?"

Wu Zhishang: "I can’t betray my girlfriend."

Lin Ran sighed inwardly. Like him, Wu Zhishang was also blind.

As they reached the parking lot, both of them were stunned.

The valet who had been helping Lin Ran earlier was crouched on the ground, crying his eyes out, while a few staff members seemed to be helping him look for something.

"What’s wrong?"

The valet quickly looked up at the sound of Lin Ran’s voice, his eyes filled with fear and avoidance when he saw Lin Ran.

"Sir, I’m so sorry! I lost your car key! Waaah!"

The valet cried loudly, like a heartbroken puppy.

Lin Ran’s face darkened. He quickly said,

"If it’s lost, it’s lost. Stop crying in front of me like I’ve bullied you."

The valet cried even louder. Lin Ran sighed but didn’t blame him. After all, it wasn’t intentional.

Losing a car key wasn’t a big deal. It wasn’t like the car had been smashed. No harm done.

Besides, from a certain perspective, the valet was his employee. Seeing him cry so pitifully, as the boss, Lin Ran felt he should be magnanimous.

"Stop crying. It’s fine, I’m not blaming you. Just be more careful next time."

As he spoke, he glanced at his Ferrari.

Huh?

He looked again. There seemed to be something inside.

Upon closer inspection, there was a shadowy figure in the car.

"Bro, do you see a ghost in the car?"

Wu Zhishang also looked over in confusion: "It looks like... a person?"

Lin Ran, incredulous, walked over to the car, opened the door with a puzzled expression, and saw an almost naked woman inside, gazing at him with longing.

Ugh!

Liu Ruxue.

Without hesitation, Lin Ran slammed the door shut with a loud "bang" and shouted,

"What’s wrong with your hotel? Why is there a naked woman in my car? Is this some kind of test? What man wouldn’t pass a test like this?"

Lin Ran’s words echoed through the hotel entrance, and everyone who had been searching for the key turned to look.

The valet was also startled and hurried over to open the passenger door.

At a glance, he saw Liu Ruxue. He had no time to admire her body, instead angrily saying,

"How did you get in here? Did you steal my car key?"

Liu Ruxue was dumbfounded. She never expected that even after appearing like this in the car, Lin Ran would ignore her.

Before doing this, she had mentally prepared herself, imagining a romantic encounter with Lin Ran in the car.

But who would have thought Lin Ran would just "expose" her like this?

Not only did she fail to seduce Lin Ran, but she also ended up humiliating herself.

Liu Ruxue immediately covered her face, the car key still dangling from her hand.

The valet snatched the key and angrily said,

"You thief, you almost cost me my job!"

He handed the key to Lin Ran and then tried to pull Liu Ruxue out of the car.

"Get out of here, you thief! Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me?"

Lin Ran held the key, deep in thought.

Can I even use this hand now?

Did Liu Ruxue do something weird with the key?

If it’s Liu Ruxue, she might actually do something like that.

As the valet tried to pull Liu Ruxue out, she clung to the car door: "Don’t lie! I found it! Brother Lin Ran, it’s me! It’s Ruxue!"

Hearing Liu Ruxue’s voice, Wu Zhishang was also shocked. He looked at Lin Ran and said, "Bro, you’ve got to stay strong!"

Lin Ran shot Wu Zhishang a sidelong glance, noticing that Wu Zhishang was becoming more and more mischievous.

The valet yanked Liu Ruxue out of the car and slapped her across the face, shouting hysterically, "You evil woman! Why did you steal my car key?"

Liu Ruxue covered her face, looking at the valet in disbelief.

"You actually hit a woman?"

"I’m hitting you because you’re a thief!"

The valet slapped her again, this time turning her head ninety degrees, directly facing Lin Ran.

Seeing Lin Ran, Liu Ruxue’s eyes welled up with tears: "Brother Lin Ran, I just missed you so much. Didn’t you buy ‘Eternal Love’ for me today? I was so touched, so I waited for you in the car."

The valet was stunned. He glanced at Liu Ruxue, who was only wearing lingerie, then at Lin Ran, and took a sharp breath: "Did I mess up again?"

Lin Ran facepalmed, thinking to himself, "This world has gone completely insane."

Liu Ruxue slowly walked toward Lin Ran, her expression filled with grievance.

She was wearing thin, translucent lingerie, her body barely concealed.

Lin Ran sidestepped to avoid her, completely disregarding her state of undress.

He turned to the valet and said, "Those two slaps were well-deserved. Go find your manager and tell them to give you a bonus."

Then he pointed to himself: "Tell them Lin Ran said so."

The valet nodded dumbly, then suddenly became excited.

Lin Ran’s status clearly wasn’t ordinary, and it made sense that he knew the manager. Not only did he not get punished for losing the key, but he might even get a bonus just for slapping this woman twice.

This woman clearly seemed like the type who would do anything to seduce a man.
