ENDING

CHAPTER 301 - BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

Under Gu Lingfeng's painstaking wait, it was finally time for the afternoon shift to end.

Gu Lingfeng headed out of the office at the right time to pick up Qin Ran, but he found that Qin Ran hadn't come out at all. Looking through the frosted glass window at Qin Ran who was still busy inside, Gu Lingfeng instantly understood what she was thinking.

As usual, he got off work. Out of the corner of his eyes, Qin Ran saw Gu Lingfeng heading downstairs and let out a sigh of relief. He thought that he still had a few papers left in his hands before he could get off work.

Half an hour later, Qin Ran saw that he was the only one left in the office. He didn't intend to stay here and pretend to be diligent. He packed his stuff and prepared to go home.

Gu Lingfeng was sitting in the car outside the company's entrance. His gaze was fixated on the people entering and exiting the company. There were dozens of people coming and going every minute, but Gu Lingfeng did not miss a single one of them.

Not long after, a beautiful figure appeared at the company's entrance. Gu Lingfeng's eyes lit up, he knew that even if Qin Ran wanted to avoid him, he wouldn't stay in the company for too long. Gu Lingfeng didn't want to attract too much attention, he just pulled over to the side of the road and rolled down half the window.

Qin Ran could recognize his car at a glance. The moment he saw Gu Lingfeng's car, he knew that he had come here specifically to wait for her. Qin Ran pursed his lips, pretending that he hadn't noticed anything as he walked forward.

Didn't you say that I would bring you somewhere after work? Why did you leave yourself? Gu Lingfeng drove the car to Qin Ran's side, opened the car door and got off, stopping Qin Ran.

I'm not going. I'm too tired from work today. Qin Ran stepped back without leaving any trace as he said lightly.

You've already promised me, Ran Ran, you can't go back on your word! Gu Lingfeng didn't say anything further and directly pulled Qin Ran towards his car, Stop it, we're not allowed to stop here, quickly come with me.

Gu Lingfeng! I think my expressive skills are still good enough, and your ears aren't deaf. I've already said that I'm too tired to work today and don't want to go. " Qin Ran threw Gu Lingfeng's hand away and said with a frown and displeasure.

Seeing how Qin Ran refused to cooperate, Gu Lingfeng also felt a little helpless. However, Qin Ran had to go to that place today. Since they were on the main road, Gu Lingfeng didn't want to carry Qin Ran away immediately.

With a smile, he said, Ran, this is a public place, and I don't want to do anything too extreme to you. You know my temper, if you don't accompany me to dinner, then I can only follow you in front of so many people … Gu Lingfeng purposely said half of his sentence, in order to force Qin Ran to follow him.

Not going. Qin Ran didn't like Gu Lingfeng's half-threatening attitude. She didn't want to argue with him anymore, so after saying those words, she turned around and left.

Gu Lingfeng, who was standing behind him, did not say anything further. Since it was impossible to use a soft method, he had no choice but to use a hard one. Gu Lingfeng used his arms to hug Qin Ran. Unlike his usual gentle hug, Gu Lingfeng used more than enough strength to make Qin Ran's resistance ineffective. Next, he forcefully 'sent' Qin Ran into the car.

As the sheep entered the mouth of the tiger, even if Qin Ran was unwilling, there was nothing he could do about it. As the car sped through the road, just like Gu Lingfeng's mood, the color of Qin Ran inside the car wasn't very beautiful, so Gu Lingfeng didn't mind at all. He used his right hand to pat Qin Ran, smiling very nicely: Trust me, you'll like him.

Since he had already been dragged over, Qin Ran decided to give Gu Lingfeng some face and not cause any more trouble. However, she didn't seem particularly happy. It was just a meal, so she wasn't afraid.

The car quickly arrived at the restaurant that Gu Lingfeng had reserved beforehand. After handing his car over to the doorman, Gu Lingfeng pulled Qin Ran up to the sixth floor. Qin Ran was at a loss as he followed him. When the elevator door opened, Qin Ran was still shocked by what he saw.

This floor seemed to be a banquet hall, but now all of it was reserved by Gu Lingfeng. Besides the waiter, only the two of them were left.

The walls were decorated with colorful ribbons and balloons, just like a fairy tale. At the center of the dining table, there was a large bunch of bright red roses, as well as neatly arranged candlesticks. It was clear that this entire floor had been meticulously arranged by Gu Lingfeng's men.

Seeing Qin Ran in a daze, Gu Lingfeng knew that she would like the things he had prepared for her. However, this was only the beginning. The good show was yet to come. Gu Lingfeng held Qin Ran's hand and walked to the dining table. He elegantly pulled out a chair for Qin Ran and sat down.

Gu Lingfeng snapped his fingers, and several attendants stepped forward and brought the steak they had prepared beforehand. A man in a white dress walked over and began playing a soothing violin for the two of them, as a accompaniment to the meal. All of this brought out the romantic atmosphere.

As a girl, Qin Ran naturally enjoyed such a special treat. But at the same time, he felt that it was a bit strange, it was just an ordinary dinner. Could it be that Gu Lingfeng wanted to make use of this opportunity to confess, so he made it so luxurious?

I ordered the dishes according to your favorite taste. Come and try it quickly. Gu Lingfeng said gently.

After hearing his reminder, Qin Ran realized that his stomach was growling too. It was prepared for her anyway, so she didn't eat it for free. With that in mind, Qin Ran picked up his knife and fork and started to enjoy the dinner.

If it was a normal day, Gu Lingfeng would introduce things to her or find a topic to chat with her. However, today, Gu Lingfeng was exceptionally quiet. The romantic dinner continued peacefully just like this.

Just when the two of them were almost done eating, all the candles in the hall, including the table, were extinguished. Even the emergency lights were not turned on. In less than ten seconds, the entire building was pitch black.

This feeling of helplessness caused Qin Ran to feel as if she had returned to the time when she was kidnapped. In that instant, her heart was filled with fear. Qin Ran subconsciously pushed her chair away and stood up, wanting to escape from this suffocating space.

Due to the darkness, Qin Ran could not determine the direction. She randomly picked a direction to leave, but Gu Lingfeng held her hand in the darkness.

At this moment, the ceiling above them suddenly began emitting a faint glow. Qin Ran subconsciously looked up, and saw the projector shining a dark blue sky full of stars above the two of them. The main door of the banquet hall opened and a waiter slowly walked towards her while pushing a three-storey birthday cake.

The music in the hall started to play Happy Birthday songs at the right time. The waiters who came in with the cake also clapped their hands while singing along with the music, adding to the atmosphere of the scene with their blessings.

Qin Ran was stunned. The two transformations had caused her to not know what had happened. She only felt a chill on her neck and touched a warm hand.

CHAPTER 302 - PLAY ON THE SPOT

Ran Ran, happy birthday! At some point, Gu Lingfeng had circled behind Qin Ran and put on the birthday present he had prepared for her.

There was only one diamond necklace that Gu Lingfeng had specially ordered from Sweden.

At this time, the lights in the hall were also turned on. Qin Ran saw Gu Lingfeng looking at him with deep emotions in his eyes. It could be said that Qin Ran was still in a state of shock. Anyway, today was actually his birthday. After calculating the date, it seemed to be the case.

It sounded complicated, but everything happened in less than two minutes. To be honest, this birthday party had actually been perfect, all of this was just a surprise that Gu Lingfeng had prepared for her. It was just that these surprises were used by the wrong people, Qin Ran didn't need such surprises.

Ran Ran, do you like it? Gu Lingfeng asked softly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Like, of course I like, which girl would not like such a birthday? But Gu Lingfeng, if all of this was truly prepared for me from the bottom of your heart, how great would it be?

Qin Ran looked at Gu Lingfeng and felt that he was extremely hypocritical. Why would this man treat her in such a manner? From Jin Ran's point of view, Gu Lingfeng only cared for him so much because he wanted him to make up for it, or because he wanted him to agree to stay with him. However, this kind of hypocrisy made Qin Ran feel extremely disgusted.

Covering the discomfort in his heart, the corner of Qin Ran's mouth curled up into a smile. He pretended to be happy as he said, I really like it. I forgot that today is my birthday. Thank you so much.

Gu Lingfeng had been preparing for so long that if he were to tear him down here, he would probably cause everyone to part unhappily. Right now, there was no need for him to reach that level, he only needed to cooperate with the performance and pretend that Gu Lingfeng had really prepared for his birthday party.

It's good that you like it. With Qin Ran's words, Gu Lingfeng instantly felt that all the hard work he had done recently was worth it. Gu Lingfeng was so happy that he almost forgot what he was doing. He hurriedly said to Qin Ran: Hurry up and make a wish, blow the candle out.

Qin Ran agreed with a smile. He walked to the side of the cake and bent down slightly. He put his hands together, closed his eyes and began to make his wish.

At this time, God, please allow her to make an unrealistic wish that she shouldn't have.

She wanted to go back to the old days when nothing had happened between his and Gu Lingfeng, when they had not quarrelled, when she had only been indifferent and fond of Gu Lingfeng. She wanted to go back a long time ago. Those two people were still pure time, and not like now, with hypocrisy hidden everywhere.

After reciting this in his heart, Qin Ran opened his eyes and blew out the candle.

Time passed quickly, and the dinner ended with the two of them trying their best to maintain the peace. After the meal, Gu Lingfeng had offered to send her home. Qin Ran had wanted to refuse, but he couldn't avoid Gu Lingfeng and was carried back to the carriage by Gu Lingfeng.

Sitting in the car, the scenery outside the window quickly receded. Qin Ran's face was facing out the window, but he was not as happy as before. However, Gu Lingfeng was still immersed in the joy from just now, and the smile on his face could not be stopped.

After having dinner with him, Qin Ran felt that he had done enough for himself. If he let Gu Lingfeng send him home, perhaps Gu Lingfeng would come up with a variety of reasons, and ask to stay at her home for the night. This was not what Qin Ran wanted to see.

Um, when we got to the front, it was a red light. It's only a block away from my house. I just drank some red wine, so I wanted to take a breather. Please send me here. Thank you for today.

These words were not only polite, but they also explained the reason and expressed his meaning. As the lights turned red, Gu Lingfeng parked his car by the roadside and asked, Ran Ran, are you alright?

I'm fine now. I just might have eaten too much just now. I'm feeling a bit carsick right now, so I just need to come down to take a walk. Qin Ran answered with a smile.

Although Gu Lingfeng seemed unwilling, since Qin Ran said so, he could only compromise: Alright then. When you get home, remember to send me a message.

Got it. Qin Ran answered casually before hurriedly opening the door and getting off the car.

Looking at the disappearing car, Qin Ran let out a sigh of relief. She touched the necklace on her neck as a hint of ridicule flashed across her eyes. Then, she used her right hand to pull the necklace off and threw it on the ground.

Oh? Why are you so angry? A tall figure wearing a black uniform walked out from a dark corner. Gu Shao Ling Ling picked up the necklace that was lying on the ground and wiped it with his sleeve, saying with a bit of pity, Tsk, tsk, this necklace was custom-made. Gu Ling Feng was really willing to give you money, it's such a pity to throw it.

He hadn't expected Gu Shaolin to suddenly appear here. Qin Ran didn't say anything as he watched Gu Shaolin finish cleaning the necklace and walk towards her.

Ever since Gu Shaolin had returned home, Qin Ran discovered that he was much stronger than before. He was no longer as easy to fool as the young master Gu Shaoling. No matter how complicated his movements were, Gu Shaolin would always find a way to catch her.

Qin Ran didn't dare to underestimate him after the last time he was dragged to the sundry room by Gu Shaolin. This man was dangerous, but he hadn't revealed his trump card yet.

With this thought in mind, Gu Shaoling walked to the side of Qin Ran and put the necklace back on her neck.

Gu Shaolin probably only had one reason to visit her, but he still didn't have the chance to do what he had promised her last time. He had been kidnapped after a trip to the suburbs, and he had stayed at home for two days, so Qin Ran didn't know how much time had passed.

In order not to anger Gu Shao Ling, Qin Ran stepped in front of him and said, I'll help you get what you want. Something happened to me in the past two days, so I was delayed. I'm not looking for an excuse!

Seeing how nervous Qin Ran was, Gu Shaolin smiled lightly and patted her shoulder, indicating that she should stop talking. Qin Ran didn't understand, but he stopped his explanation to see what Gu Shaolin had in mind.

As for the difficulty coefficient, I'm relatively clear about it, so you might not be able to get it in a short period of time. I can understand that, but as long as you help me keep an eye on that matter, I've been busy with other things lately. Gu Shaolin said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Ran heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't come to find her and find her for a crime, he would be able to escape this calamity. However, she immediately reacted. If he hadn't come to ask for the documents, Gu Shaolin definitely wouldn't have come to her for no reason at all.

What other things are you busy with? What do you need me to do? Don't beat around the bush. Just say it directly.

CHAPTER 303 - ANOTHER PLEASANT SURPRISE …

A look of approval appeared in Gu Shaolin's eyes, Not bad, you're still as smart as before. I'll be frank then. As you know, because of Jing Yi's incident, the Fu Family fell to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden. Even if Fu Shuanyi came back, that incident would still have happened after a period of time. The Gu Family is still continuously suppressing the Fu Family, preventing them from rousing themselves up again."

At this point, his tone became serious, There will be an important auction tomorrow morning, one that the Fu family has been eyeing for a long time. If we can seize that land, the Fu family might have a chance to turn the tables.

So you want me to help you hold Gu Lingfeng back? Qin Ran combined the words Gu Shaolin had just said and roughly understood what he meant.

It's not a good thing for women to be too smart. Gu Shaolin raised his signature devilish smile.

Qin Ran immediately countered: If you're not smart, how can I help you complete your mission?

So you agreed?

Yes.

Gu Shaolin was surprised that he agreed so readily. However, what happened tonight was a lesson to Qin Ran. It was better to let Gu Lingfeng suffer a bit of a loss than to let him get carried away. At the same time, it was to remind him that Gu Lingfeng was his enemy.

Seeing how Qin Ran was making such a big decision, Gu Shaolin knew that the two men he sent to kidnap Qin Ran must have played a big role.

Since they had killed Fu Jingyi, he, Gu Shaolin, would definitely make these people pay the price, one by one. Gu Shaolin looked at Qin Ran with satisfaction. Things were going the way he wanted them to.

What Gu Lingfeng, what Gu Lingfeng? Hehe, Qin Ran was only the first step in his attack on Gu Lingfeng, he must let Gu Lingfeng have a taste of being betrayed by the person he loved the most.

Not bad. Your attitude is like that of a person who does things. I am happy today. Here. Gu Shao Ling walked over with a smile. He put his arm around Qin Ran's shoulder and was about to push him away when he saw Gu Shao Ling's right hand pass a slip of paper in front of her.

Qin Ran chose to take the slip of paper and opened it. There was a phone number and a name on it. Puzzled, she asked, This is?

He is a private detective hired by me. Previously, when I asked him to investigate, he found something related to the past. You can ask him about it.

I refuse! Without thinking, Qin Ran subconsciously rejected Gu Shaolin. She had already been tricked by Gu Lingfeng into going to such a place because of this matter. Gu Lingfeng and Gu Shaolin both had the surname of Gu. If they used the same method and were drugged in the past, who knew what would happen to her.

Qin Ran finally understood that relying on the heavens and the earth was better than relying on herself. If she continued to rely on the clues given by others, the initiative would always be in the hands of others. She didn't believe that she alone wouldn't be able to figure out the cause of her mother's death.

After hearing her resolute answer, Gu Shaolin didn't force her. He let go of Qin Ran, shrugged his shoulders, and put the paper away. He said with some regret, Since someone doesn't want me to do this, then forget it. Come back to me when you've thought it through. Do you want me to send you back?

No need, I'll go by myself. Qin Ran didn't want to have any further interactions with this dangerous character, not to mention that Gu Shaolin was probably just being polite.

Indeed, after hearing these words, Gu Shaolin didn't say anything else. He just waved her away, just like when he came here, and disappeared into the darkness.

Thinking of using the candlelight dinner that Gu Lingfeng had prepared for her, Qin Ran felt a little tired. He had been delayed by Gu Shaolin for such a long time on the road, so Qin Ran sped up his pace and returned home.

When he first entered the room, Qin Ran felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't tell what was wrong. The room was dark and he felt as if there was something inside.

Qin Ran, who had been kidnapped several times, felt his heart leap into his throat. If there really was a bad person in this house, then … Qin Ran gripped his phone tightly and cautiously moved forward while leaning against the wall. He planned to turn on the lights first.

Just when her hand was about to reach for the switch, her eyes suddenly lit up. Qin Ran subconsciously covered his eyes with his hand, and then she heard An Nuo and Han Cheng happily shout: Ran! Happy Birthday!

Only then did Qin Ran realize that his home had been meticulously arranged by these two people who had come in unbeknownst to him. There was a birthday cake on the table with a candle stuck in it.

Both of them wore birthday hats on their heads. An Nuo happily went forward and pulled Qin Ran's hand: Haha, how was it? Surprise, you came back really late today. Han City and I have been waiting for you here for a long time. We definitely don't remember that we were still working overtime for our birthday. Come, come, let's hurry up and blow candles!"

An Nuo excitedly pulled Qin Ran, but didn't notice that Qin Ran's face was extremely unsightly.

It was only her birthday and she didn't even care about it. To think that someone would prepare her like this and ask her to say something good, should she thank them for being excessive or should she thank them for specially making her think that she had met a bad person?

At this moment, the expression of displeasure on Qin Ran's face seemed to be out of place with the happy atmosphere. The happy birthday song was played on his mobile phone to increase the atmosphere, and when An Nuo asked Qin Ran to blow the candle, Han City discovered that Qin Ran didn't seem to be very happy.

Enough! What lousy song is this! Stop!" Qin Ran's heart was filled with rage as he shouted towards An Nuo and Han Cheng.

She shook Anorak's hand off, using the chair to cover her feet, and tore apart the balloons and colored ropes that Han City had painstakingly stuck to the wall. As she tore them off, Qin Ran said, Did I ask you to prepare these things? Who told you to post it in my house on your own? I'm not a child anymore. I don't need such things like birthdays. All of you are even more active than me. Why don't you all go have your birthdays for yourselves?"

An Nuo and Han Cheng looked at each other in dismay. They had never expected that the birthday party they had meticulously prepared for the entire afternoon would be disrupted by Qin Ran just like that. They had clearly just wanted to give her a surprise.

Although An Nuo was unhappy about the departure of the birthday party, she could tell that Qin Ran was in a bad mood. She definitely wouldn't screw up everything they were preparing for no reason. Something must have happened outside that made her unhappy.

CHAPTER 304 - ORDER FOR DEPORTATION

After taking off the colorful ropes and throwing the balloons to the ground, Qin Ran sat down on the sofa with a bit of annoyance. He waved his hand impatiently, I don't want to have a birthday. You guys can take the cake and eat it yourselves.

Alright then. An Nuo glanced at her and knew that today's birthday party was over for the rest of the day. A man like his couldn't possibly love something like cake, so he could only carry it away and put it in the fridge. When Qin Ran was in a better mood, he would call him to come to his house to eat with his.

At the same time, she gave a look to Han Cheng. Han Cheng knew that there were a lot of things happening in An Nuo recently, and he had been washing up and doing a lot of things recently, so he was always in a rather irritated state. Coincidentally, today, he wanted to comfort Qin Ran a bit, so he nodded slightly.

Then I will leave first. Ran Ran, let's meet again next time. Anlor waved his hand in frustration, looking at the ribbons on the ground that had been forcibly torn down. She sighed, then left Qin Ran's house in small steps.

In fact, Qin Ran was also very frustrated. There were a lot of things happening recently, and Qin Ran had always been in a bad mood. Furthermore, what happened tonight made her feel uncomfortable, so she decided to burst out in an instant.

It seemed that they had prepared a surprise for her. She really should thank them, but Arnold and Han City didn't care if she was willing to have such a birthday.

Even if there was such a birthday party, they should have informed her in advance and prepared in advance with her instead of appearing in her home in such a way to give her such a big shock and the happiness that had already been ignored.

Han Cheng walked over and sat beside her. He asked worriedly, Lan Ran, are you in a bad mood? You can tell me.

I'm really not in a good mood right now, so I want to be alone for a while. Han City, can you let me be by myself for a while? If you want to see me, we can meet again later, but right now, I really don't want to see anyone. " Qin Ran's tone was enough to show that she was in a bad state.

Han Cheng only wanted to comfort her a little, but before he could finish his sentence, he was impatiently rejected by Qin Ran. It seemed that Qin Ran wanted to drive him away. Han Cheng felt a little disappointed.

He didn't know what had happened to Qin Ran outside. He couldn't share her pain with him. This was enough to make Han City feel defeated. Han Cheng was still reluctant to leave. Ran Ran, what happened today …

Are you done yet!? At this moment, Qin Ran was completely unable to consider the question of who he should give face to. Like I said, I'm very annoyed right now. Please hurry up and leave, I really just want to be by myself for a while.

Seeing that Qin Ran didn't want to talk to him anymore, Han Cheng felt a little uncomfortable. Since Qin Ran had already sent out the order for him to leave, he didn't want to stay here any longer. Han Cheng could only helplessly leave Qin Ran's residence.

Qin Ran suddenly felt as if he was letting out air. Seeing how messy he was, Qin Ran didn't have a good feeling about it either. If he was right, he should be celebrating his birthday with An Nuo in Han City, but he didn't expect this result.

At this point, even if Qin Ran blamed himself in his heart, he could only apologize to them afterwards. Right now, all he wanted to do was pack up his things and quickly go to bed.

She really didn't care about birthdays at all. If every birthday was as messy as today, she would rather never have a birthday again.

Qin Ran stood up tiredly and started packing up. Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again. Qin Ran thought it was Han City coming back to comfort her, so he decided to go to the door and persuade them to leave quickly.

As soon as the door opened, before Qin Ran could say anything, he was pulled into the arms of someone. Qin Ran was a little confused. If it was Han City, he wouldn't have hugged him without saying a word. This kind of aura was exclusive to Gu Lingfeng.

Initially, he was in a bad mood, but after getting rid of two, another one actually came. Qin Ran twisted his body wildly and used his hands to push Gu Lingfeng away at the same time, but he steadily carried Qin Ran into the house and closed the door.

Don't move. Gu Lingfeng whispered into Qin Ran's ear. At the same time, he hugged his a little more tightly. He leaned his head against Qin Ran's head and sniffed his hair a few times.

His words seemed to have some magic to them, causing Qin Ran to be completely stunned. He then quietly leaned against his chest.

Smelling the smell that belonged solely to Gu Lingfeng, Qin Ran suddenly recalled what Gu Shaolin had told her just now. If he wanted to find a chance to delay Gu Lingfeng, it would be better to wait until tomorrow morning to take action.

The other voice in her mind was telling her not to do this. If Gu Shao Ling Ling Ling'er could come specially to the bidding competition to stall Gu Ling Feng, then this bidding competition was definitely very important to the Gu Clan.

The former voice immediately retorted. Gu Shaolin had only wanted to help the Fu Family rise up once more, so the reason why the Fu Family had become like this had a lot to do with the Gu Family. Gu Shao Ling had said that if the Gu Family hadn't been suppressing the Fu Family, the Fu Family wouldn't have become like this.

To Gu Lingfeng, this was perhaps just an ordinary project, it didn't matter if he had one more or one less. But to the current Fu family, it was probably a lifesaving straw. Comparing the two of them, it was reasonable that he should help the Fu family.

What are you thinking about? Gu Lingfeng let go of Qin Ran, only to see that she was lost in thought.

Qin Ran quickly reacted and answered: Nothing. Since you're already here, stop standing at the door. Go in and take a seat. I'll go pour you a cup of water." Gu Lingfeng nodded in agreement.

Arriving at the kitchen, Qin Ran turned on the tap and patted his face with the water. He wanted to wake himself up, but when Gu Lingfeng suddenly shouted at her, Qin Ran suddenly realized that he was hesitating.

Helping the Fu Family was just a normal act that an outsider would do as a matter of fact and could not bear to see the Gu family oppressing others. If Gu Lingfeng lost a competition, it would only be a small project that didn't hurt much for the Gu Clan. Even if he had a lot of capital, it would only be a matter of time. With Gu Lingfeng's ability, no matter what happened, he wouldn't let the Gu Clan get into trouble.

Why should she hesitate over such a man? Qin Ran, wake up. Don't be fooled by his appearance just because of a small romantic favor. Don't forget, this man had carefully planned a kidnapping case.

Thinking this way, Qin Ran bit his lips and stopped mid-air with his hand that was preparing to pour water. He opened the cabinet on top, took out two bottles of wine and walked out.

Hmm? Didn't they say to pour water? What are you doing?" Seeing that Qin Ran had only brought out two bottles of wine when he entered the kitchen, Gu Lingfeng asked with some doubt.

Qin Ran smiled and placed the wine on the table. He sat beside Gu Lingfeng on the sofa and said: Today is my birthday, I'm very happy. So Gu Lingfeng, why don't you have a drink with me?

CHAPTER 305 - DRUNK HIM

Gu Lingfeng felt a little strange, Didn't you just say that you would feel dizzy after finishing the wine? Why are you asking me to drink with you? "

Nothing, I was in the car just now so I'm not feeling well. Now that I'm at home, it doesn't matter. Come have a drink with me. When you get tired, come and rest at my place. Qin Ran smiled to hide her embarrassment. As she spoke, she turned her head to pour wine into a cup.

Qin Ran raised a full glass of wine and passed it to Gu Lingfeng: Today is my birthday, you should at least toast me. I don't mind if you toast me, I can't go back on my word!

Hearing this, Gu Lingfeng could only smile helplessly as he accepted the wine cup and gulped it down. Qin Ran watched him drink it with satisfaction. He put it to his lips and took a small sip.

If only he could get Gu Lingfeng drunk so easily tonight, then he would definitely sleep deeply tomorrow and not participate in the auction.

With this thought in mind, Qin Ran once again poured Gu Lingfeng a cup of wine, Wait a minute, that cup just now didn't count. Although it's dry, but the wine you drank to me didn't even say a single birthday blessing. It can't count, you have to start over again!

Good, good, good. Gu Lingfeng took up his wine cup and said to Qin Ran, Then, I wish you will be able to get over it in the new year and become a new you. Don't be tied down by the past and look towards the future and think about your life and don't always have to shoulder so many responsibilities by yourself. To you! Gu Lingfeng drank the wine in his glass.

Qin Ran was not interested in Gu Lingfeng's blessings, but he could feel that Gu Lingfeng wanted him to quickly consider his future, find a partner, and marry himself. And this man was still better off being himself.

She pinched her palm. The more it was like this, the more she couldn't let her guard down. This man was a bottle of poison; she definitely couldn't be fooled by him.

Seeing that Gu Lingfeng's wine cup was empty once again, Qin Ran hurriedly held up the bottle of wine, wanting to pour the wine for him again. At the same time, his mind was searching for an excuse to make him drink.

At this moment, Gu Lingfeng stopped Qin Ran, who looked at Gu Lingfeng with a puzzled expression. Gu Lingfeng explained: It's getting late, I've already drunk the wine that you let me drink, and I've also said my blessings. You promised me earlier that as long as I drink with you for a bit, I can stay.

Other times may not be enough, but tonight, Qin Ran will definitely agree to Gu Lingfeng's stay. Only by doing this can I find an opportunity to delay him and take care of Shaolin as instructed. You can stay tonight, but it's still early. Would you like some more?

I'm still not hungry. It's already 11am, so we should go to bed early. We still have to go to work tomorrow morning. Gu Lingfeng sighed and tactfully refused.

It was rare for Qin Ran to take the initiative to let him stay and drink with her. However, he had an important auction with him tomorrow morning. If he messed up, it might cause a lot of trouble.

Qin Ran was momentarily at a loss for words. She was originally not as good at acting as Fu Shuanyi, and now she also could not find any reason to make Gu Lingfeng drunk. Gu Lingfeng must have been on guard, so he had been unwilling to drink more with her.

If he let Gu Lingfeng go to bed just like that, and he woke up tomorrow as usual, wouldn't all his plans go to waste? No, he had to think of a way.

Simply asking Gu Lingfeng to drink wine might cause Gu Lingfeng to be suspicious of him, but it seemed like this plan was about to come to an end. Qin Ran put down the wine cup with a dry smile: Yeah, you're right. Why don't you go take a bath and go to bed first, I still need to clean up here. Han City and An Nuo came over to celebrate my birthday just now, so it was a bit chaotic.

So it was Han City and An Nuo who came to celebrate her birthday. No wonder the furnishings of the room were so strange, Gu Lingfeng had thought it was left behind by Qin Ran's family. Although it was a bit strange, why Han City and An Nuo left so quickly, Gu Lingfeng did not think too much about it.

Qin Ran heard the sound of Gu Lingfeng bathing in the bathroom. Her heart was beating very fast, not because she felt shy towards the man inside the bathroom, but because he was nervous that he was about to do something bad.

Taking advantage of the moment that Gu Lingfeng couldn't see him, Qin Ran walked into the kitchen and opened a new bottle of pure milk. He poured the milk into a cup and heated it up in the microwave.

This minute seemed to have passed by in torment. The light in the microwave was extinguished, and Qin Ran took out the hot milk inside. At the same time, he carefully listened to the noises outside, and took out some sleeping pills from the cabinet. This was something she had prepared in case she needed it, but she didn't expect to use it now.

The sound of the flowing water outside had stopped. It seemed that Gu Lingfeng was ready to come out after washing up. Qin Ran took a deep breath and took out a few sleeping pills in a flurry, placing them into a cup. The freshly heated milk should be enough to melt the sleeping pills.

Perhaps he had been a little nervous, but he realized that he had put in three sleeping pills at once. He couldn't start over by pouring the milk. If he was found out, not only would his plan be incomplete, he wouldn't even be able to explain it. Qin Ran could only console himself. It was just two more sleeping pills and he would be fine. It would probably only make Gu Lingfeng sleep more soundly at night, which would be of help to the matters tomorrow.

She picked up the cup of water, but still felt that her hands were a little shaky. Qin Ran slowly walked into the room. Gu Lingfeng had already put on his clothes and was ready to go to bed.

Have a glass of milk before you go to bed. I've helped you heat it up to help you sleep. Qin Ran placed the cup of water on the bedside. Gu Lingfeng didn't notice anything strange, he only felt that Qin Ran's actions were very considerate.

Of course it's good! Don't mention milk, as long as you give it to me, even if it's poisoned, I would drink it without any hesitation. At the same time, he picked up the milk and began to drink it.

It was just a joke, but Qin Ran was startled. Fortunately, Gu Lingfeng was drinking milk and didn't notice the stiff expression on Qin Ran's face.

Gu Lingfeng gulped down two mouthfuls of milk, his heart was filled with joy as he finished the cup of Love Milk that Qin Ran had prepared for him. Qin Ran went over to take the cup. When she saw that all the milk in the cup was gone, she couldn't help but feel upset. However, she couldn't go back on her words now that she had done it.

After you finish your milk, go to bed early. Qin Ran said indifferently as he picked up the cup and prepared to leave.

Gu Lingfeng stopped her, How about I wait for you to sleep together with me? I have no other intentions, I just want to hug you.

CHAPTER 306 - DRUG ADMINISTRATION

No need, I still have a lot of things to do. I think you've been tired for the whole day, even if you say you want to wait for me, you'll fall asleep soon. If you want to wait, just wait. I'll be ready to take a bath after I'm done. Qin Ran pretended not to care as he shrugged and said to Gu Lingfeng with a helpless smile.

After Qin Ran had roughly taken care of everything outside, he returned to his room and sat in front of his dressing table. Looking at the mirror, he took off the necklace on his neck and began to observe it carefully.

Previously, when Gu Lingfeng had given it to her, he hadn't taken the opportunity to take it with him. At that time, his entire attention had been focused on the changes in the hall, including when he had thrown away the necklace. Qin Ran was finally curious about the necklace and started to read it.

There was a reason why a chain of necklaces was considered to be of considerable value. After going through the necklace made by a top craftsman, the small diamond looked as if it was suspended in a silver circle, emitting a dazzling radiance. What was even more surprising was, if gently touched, the diamond could rotate, but it wouldn't fall off.

On the other hand, this necklace was a birthday present from Gu Lingfeng. He had just intended to throw it away as a form of release, and even Qin Ran didn't know how to face this necklace anymore. No matter how beautiful the necklace itself was, its owner was still her enemy.

He squinted his eyes and saw Qin Ran playing with the necklace he had given her with great interest. A warm feeling flowed through his heart, Gu Lingfeng felt that, after today's hard work, his relationship with Qin Ran should be closer by a step. He believed that before long, Qin Ran would officially accept him.

He got up from the bed, walked behind Qin Ran and hugged her. She did not avoid the mirror and allowed Qin Ran to see Gu Lingfeng's actions. Gu Lingfeng gently asked, Do you like it?

Well, it's just like the stars. It's especially beautiful. Qin Ran let Gu Lingfeng carry him, looking at the necklace as he spoke.

I think so too, but … Gu Lingfeng paused for a moment before turning his head to look at Qin Ran. His gaze met Gu Lingfeng's eyes and he said with deep emotion: It's not as beautiful as you.

Facing Gu Lingfeng's teasing, Qin Ran seemed a little nervous. She subconsciously wanted to lower her head to hide her shyness, but Gu Lingfeng kissed her again without any warning. He really couldn't resist the temptation from Qin Ran.

The gentle kiss swept through Qin Ran's brain. He estimated that it was about time, her two arms were around Gu Lingfeng's waist, and she stood up to cater to Gu Lingfeng's kiss.

Gu Lingfeng felt ecstatic. Normally, Qin Ran never took the initiative. It seemed that tonight, not only could he stay, he could even openly enjoy her.

Thinking of this, his kiss became more and more intimate. As the kiss continued, Gu Lingfeng held Qin Ran and carried him onto the bed. Gu Lingfeng's body was pressed down on top of Qin Ran. This time, about two minutes passed before Gu Lingfeng reluctantly let go of Qin Ran.

Gu Lingfeng did not know why, but he felt like he was particularly sleepy today. However, he did not want to miss such a good opportunity. He just assumed that he was tired from kissing and changed from his posture to lying side by side with Qin Ran on the bed, wanting to adjust himself.

As soon as he laid down, his eyelids began to twitch. Gu Lingfeng encouraged him to close his eyes for a moment. Under the effects of the sleeping pill, Gu Lingfeng unknowingly fell into a deep slumber.

After hearing Gu Lingfeng's steady breathing, Qin Ran knew that he had fallen asleep. Qin Ran called out to Gu Lingfeng softly a few more times. It was obvious that Gu Lingfeng was deeply asleep and was unable to respond to her.

Qin Ran got off the bed and sneakily found Gu Lingfeng's phone. With her sleeping pill, it should be enough for Gu Lingfeng to sleep until tomorrow afternoon. If Gu Lingfeng didn't appear at the auction in the morning, Ye Qing would definitely call him, so she could only help him store the phone.

His phone was unlocked using his fingerprint. Qin Ran used Gu Lingfeng to sleep, and used his thumb to unlock the lock screen of his phone. It wasn't good to intrude on other people's privacy, but Qin Ran was curious to find out what was going on.

As he flipped through the chat records between Gu Lingfeng and Fu Shuang Yi in WeChat, Gu Lingfeng's response to others was always very straightforward, as though he was cherishing words like gold. Their last conversation was a few days ago, and the record did not reveal any violations of Gu Lingfeng's rules.

After he finished reading all of this, Qin Ran turned Gu Lingfeng's phone on silent and put it to the side. Qin Ran laid on the bed, looking at Gu Lingfeng who was still sleeping soundly. His heart ached a little.

He didn't know if she was right or wrong this time. To Gu Lingfeng, he was definitely wrong, but at least she had helped the Fu family. Was this considered helping an outsider? Qin Ran shook his head. Don't think too much about it, let's go to bed.

Two hours later, Qin Ran's brain was still in a very excited state, in stark contrast to the sleeping Gu Lingfeng beside her. He had been tossing and turning since he got into bed, and hadn't slept for so long, all because of Gu Lingfeng.

However, the reality was that Qin Ran was wrong. She clearly remembered that the kidnapping incident had been caused by Gu Lingfeng, and she also knew that when Gu Lingfeng treated her, he was probably more than 90% fake, but she still couldn't help but miss him.

She wanted to control her own heart, but as long as she got close to Gu Lingfeng, Qin Ran could feel that she wanted to get close to him. It was as if Gu Lingfeng's gentle embrace and kiss had not annoyed her since an unknown time, and on the contrary, she could easily accept it.

All these changes had proven to Qin Ran that she really liked Gu Lingfeng right now. This was a fact that she didn't want to accept, but had no choice but to accept. To like someone, shouldn't it change according to how her emotions changed?

Every time his feelings for Gu Lingfeng got to this point, Qin Ran would force himself to recall in his mind how he felt when he heard the news of his mother's death. If only she was there, if only she hadn't left her mother, if only she hadn't gone to jail, then her mother wouldn't have died.

CHAPTER 307 - MISSED BID MEETING

After all, so many things had happened to her that could not be washed away in a day or two. It was impossible for her to let go of him that quickly, unless she had really taken revenge. Before that, he wouldn't need to worry about a mere auction.

Qin Ran wrapped himself in a blanket and tried to force himself to sleep.

Time passed quickly, and Gu Lingfeng, who was still sleeping in his room, slowly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, Gu Lingfeng was suddenly startled. He patted his head, then immediately sat up and put on his clothes as fast as he could.

The bright sunlight shining through the window told Gu Lingfeng that it must be past seven or eight o'clock, damn it! Why did he sleep so soundly last night? Furthermore, his phone didn't ring. Normally, his biological clock was so accurate, but why did it have to happen today?

Gu Lingfeng looked for his phone and found that it was not on him. He then saw that his phone was actually on the bedside table and thought he remembered wrongly, but just as he was about to call Ye Qing to confirm, there was a slight noise coming from the door. Gu Lingfeng looked over and saw Qin Ran walking in with a bowl of porridge in his hand.

However, Gu Lingfeng did not have that much time to pay attention to Qin Ran. The moment he opened his phone, Gu Lingfeng could see that there were countless missed calls from Ye Qing and other people, and the time on his phone had already reached 12. The auction was at 8: 30 this morning, and it was supposed to end at 10: 00.

Seeing that Gu Lingfeng had already woken up, and that his goal had been achieved, Qin Ran didn't have anything to worry about. However, she couldn't show indifference, as this would arouse Gu Lingfeng's suspicions.

You're finally awake? I didn't cook anything, so you must be very hungry now. Drink a bowl of congee, it'll be more comfortable this way. Qin Ran carried the bowl of porridge over to Gu Lingfeng and placed it on the bedside table. Then, he picked up the spoon and stirred the porridge, as if he was afraid that Gu Lingfeng would be scalded.

At a time like this, Gu Lingfeng was actually extremely frustrated. However, since the opponent was Qin Ran, he could not say anything. Besides, Qin Ran was not to be blamed for this matter. Even so, Gu Lingfeng still anxiously said: Do you know that I have a very important auction today? Why didn't you wake me up? It's already 12 o'clock, you … "

But you didn't tell me yesterday that you were busy today. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. Qin Ran lowered his head with a wronged look on his face.

You! Don't you know that I have a lot of things to deal with every day? I had a very important meeting this morning, and I've completely missed it now. What do you think I should do? Gu Lingfeng was also angry, which was why he was criticizing Qin Ran like this.

After he finished speaking, no matter what Gu Lingfeng said, Qin Ran was silent. This was because she knew that speaking too much might not be a good thing. Gu Lingfeng was a sensitive person, he might be able to find a loophole in her words, and thus discover the conspiracy she had plotted.

Qin Ran listened quietly to Gu Lingfeng's words. She thought he was going in and out of her ears, or stirring the porridge on the bedside table just like he had just done. Gu Lingfeng had been angered and had nowhere to go.

Have some porridge. It's still warm. Qin Ran said while blowing on the porridge again.

The flustered Gu Lingfeng did not have the mood to fill his stomach. He wanted to rush to the company as soon as possible to understand the direction of the development of the situation, so he replied impatiently: I won't eat! Take it away! He picked up the coat he had left on the bed and was about to leave.

Qin Ran was touched by it, and couldn't hold it properly. As the porridge was overturned, Qin Ran subconsciously let go of his hand and let out a shriek. Gu Lingfeng heard the sound of the bowl shattering and Qin Ran's shout, and when he turned around, what entered his eyes was Qin Ran's small red hands that had been scorched by the porridge.

Seeing this situation, Gu Lingfeng felt as if his heart was struck hard. Only now did he realize that he shouldn't have been so angry at Qin Feng just now. Gu Lingfeng stopped in his tracks. The company was still in Qin Ran's hands. He only had to think about it for a moment before making his decision.

Gu Lingfeng hurriedly threw the suit in his hands onto the bed and ran into the living room to search for the medicine box that Qin Ran had given him. He then returned to his room to open the medicine box, picked up the cotton lotion and gently wiped Qin Ran's small hands.

From time to time, Qin Ran would scream and retract his hand slightly because she was in so much pain. He was thankful that there was no blistering in this situation. Luckily, he had the scalding medicine at home. Otherwise, he would have to go to the hospital again.

Every time she groaned from the pain, Gu Lingfeng would also pull Qin Ran's hand back and blow on his burns to alleviate her pain. Looking at the large patch of air above her arm, Gu Lingfeng also felt bad.

If it wasn't for him, Qin Ran wouldn't have to suffer such pain. If he had been more careful, Qin Ran wouldn't have been hurt if he hadn't lost his mind from anger. When he thought about how Qin Ran had been injured because of him, Gu Lingfeng felt that he had done something hateful.

The atmosphere became a bit more delicate. If there were outsiders present, they would definitely feel that these two were very loving youths. However, this was not the case. The two were silent and each had their own thoughts.

It must be very painful, I lost my composure just now. Sorry! Gu Lingfeng knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only lower his head and apologize to Qin Ran, expressing his sincerity.

Qin Ran shook her head. She only felt that Gu Lingfeng was faking it. If she had to say that he had a little sincerity, she would feel guilty. After all, the wound was caused by him. It doesn't matter. Will that missed bid matter? " Qin Ran asked tentatively.

Yes. Gu Lingfeng was silent for a moment, but he still answered. After wiping Qin Ran's small hands, he raised his head and looked into his eyes. Qin Ran's eyes were also staring straight at him. He didn't want to worry her, so he shook his head towards Qin Ran, trying to reassure her.

Now that I've already missed it, I'm going back to the company to see what I can do. I can't stay with you anymore, maybe I won't be able to see you in the next few days. You should take care of your rest by yourself. If your hand still hurts, go to the hospital by yourself. The expenses will be reimbursed by the company." Gu Lingfeng sighed, somewhat annoyed with himself for his impulsive actions. If only he hadn't been so anxious earlier. Although he didn't know what was going on at the company, he couldn't have hurt Qin Ran and ran away.

CHAPTER 308 - [YOU ACTUALLY DRUGGED ME!]

After all, he had slept all night long and had missed the competition. Furthermore, he had not told Qin Ran in advance that he had something important to attend to today, and she had only wanted him to sleep for a little longer before she had called out to him. After all, it was his fault.

Just as Gu Lingfeng was blaming himself, his phone suddenly rang. This was the nth time Ye Qing had called. Hello? Gu Lingfeng stood up and picked it up.

When Ye Qing heard that someone had finally answered the phone, he felt a sense of relief. If he hadn't picked up last night, he would have thought that Gu Lingfeng was sleeping, but this morning, Gu Lingfeng had been in a state of disconnection, causing him to almost think that something had happened to Gu Lingfeng.

Director Gu, things weren't looking good. The Fu family took that piece of land in the end.

What? Upon hearing this news, Gu Lingfeng's voice instantly turned cold.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Gu Lingfeng's expression, Qin Ran asked with concern: Did something happen?

Gu Lingfeng glanced at her and spoke into the phone, Gather all the people in charge of this project. I want to convene an emergency meeting at night and gather at the company in an hour. Just like this, I'll be there right away." After he finished speaking, Gu Lingfeng hung up.

From his tone, it seemed that the situation was quite serious. This Qin Ran didn't understand. It was just a competition. If the Gu family didn't buy it, then it was fine. Why go against the Fu family?

Ran Ran, I'm going to the company now. Have a good rest at home. Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Lingfeng had already disappeared from Qin Ran's room.

Qin Ran felt a little confused. However, there was nothing she could do in this situation. She could only comfort herself with the fact that she had completed her mission this time. She didn't need him to worry about the rest of it.

Gu Lingfeng rushed to the company as fast as he could, and started to look up the information on this competition as well as the surveillance videos. When he saw that the Fu family had successfully recorded the cheers for the land, Gu Lingfeng slammed his fist on the table.

It should have been easy to seize this land. With the Fu Family's resources, it was impossible for them to compete with Gu Lingfeng. However, Gu Lingfeng was not present, and the people below could not do as they wished, so this land was taken by the Fu Family.

Since such a mistake had occurred, Gu Lingfeng should have taken all the responsibility. This sleep of his had wasted the hardships of all the employees below, while also taking up their current time. Gu Lingfeng felt a headache coming on, he could not figure out why he had missed out on such an important period of time.

The urgency of the matter did not allow him to think about it too much, and he could only proceed with the follow-up work. Time quickly passed, and Gu Lingfeng stayed from the afternoon until night, before he called many of his staff members over to the company to start the processing of the conference.

Halfway through the emergency meeting, Gu Lingfeng felt that his body was a bit unwell, as if his abdomen was filled with pain. His subordinates were reporting on the situation, and Gu
