Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 549  Departure

Alina struggled and fought back as the men dragged her out of her hiding spot. Her side was hurting, and the pain was drilling into her, but she did not give up on the last hope of escaping and conveying her message to Ran Xueyi. "F*ck! Why is she still fighting back?"

"Just kick her until she gives up!" The men threw her into an open space, away from the scrapped cars surrounding them. They raised their foot to deal with her...

But the blows coming from their feet did not come. Instead, when Alina, who was already weakened, opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a pair of designer dress shoes right next to her face. It was so close. So close that she knew if she raised her face a bit, she'll see the face of who that pair of shoes belonged to. Unfortunately, the fatigue and blood loss had already caught up to her, splashing a white flash in her eyes as she soon lost her consciousness before she could get a proper look of the man that made everyone in that place quiver in fear and stop their movements. 'thud'.

A soft thud sounded as her head fell on the shoe that was moved to soften her landing.

Then, a cruel and rough voice sounded across the field. "I'm giving you ten seconds to explain to me what happened."

The men who were chasing after Alina lowered their heads in fear. It was the same fear they had when facing the previous leader they used to serve. It was the terror that one would feel when a monster who could swallow a person in one bite. "Ten."

"Nine." "Eight..."

The man started to count. But what could these men tell him? That they let the woman escape from their watch, shot her, and even caused a scene for him to see?

"Three." The man smiled brutally as he skipped the numbers. "One."

'Bang!'

One of the men fell to the ground. A hole that oozed fresh blood in the back of his head was visible, even with only the moonlight as their source of illumination. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Care to tell me what happened now?"

In Hua Country. Ran Xueyi had to see her husband off the airport. "I'll call you as soon as we landed," Song Yu Han told her as he cupped the back of her head and leaned close to her. Ran Xueyi nodded and forced a smile. Song Yu Han pressed a kiss on her forehead, then he heard a voice from an extremely close distance say, "Where's my kiss?" Little Zhanzhan, nestled in his arm, glanced up at his father adorably. Chuckling at him, Song Yu Han ruffled his son's dark hair and kissed him on both cheeks.

"Ugh! I didn't tell you to kiss me there!" Little Zhanzhan complained, but he didn't wipe his hands on his cheeks. Seeing the two's playfulness, Ran Xueyi did not want to ruin this moment by showing sadness, and genuinely smiled. "Take care, hubby." The time for him to leave was here. But, Song Yu Han did not move from his position. "What is it?" Ran Xueyi asked him, wondering if he remembered something he forgot. However, Song Yu Han stepped close to her and leaned forward until their forehead was touching. "Are you forgetting something?" he said, and his breath warmed up her cheeks. Ran Xueyi stared at him for a second, before blushing as she realized what he meant. Then, she raised her head and kissed him on the lips. Finally satisfied, Song Yu Han reluctantly parted from her lips and stood straight. He turned to Guo Yun, who stood beside Ran Xueyi and said, "Look after my wife and son. Call me if anything happens."

"Yes, sir." Guo Yun nodded his head seriously.

After he ordered Guo Yun, Song Yu Han said to Ran Xueyi, "Don't worry about your friend. I already have some people who are searching for her in Ren Country. Besides, nothing dangerous should happen to her in the meantime."

Ran Xueyi knew he understood her too well. He could even tell she was still worrying and scared for her friend.

 Alina's call was too sudden and shocking that it has been repeating in her dreams when she sleeps and Song Yu Han would comfort her and hug her tightly until she falls asleep again.

But Song Yu Han was right. It was not the time to be filled with anxiety and sadness. Even though Ran Xueyi wanted to fly to Ren Country so badly right at this moment. She couldn't do it because of the mess that hadn't been resolved with the Cao and Song family. She couldn't possibly leave when, at any moment, they could use it as a chance to ruin her. Ran Xueyi could take the risk alone. But she couldn't allow any harm going in her son's way. And Song Yu Han forbid her to go because he knew she was the target. Thus, she could only watch as her husband leave for Ren Country to find her friend. "Mommy, A'Yu will come back, right?" Little Zhanzhan, whose face was filled with longing and sadness, looked up at her. She could see tears filling her son's eyes. He tried to force himself not to cry, but the more he tried to stop crying, the more tears spilled from his eyes. Ran Xueyi then remembered this was the first time that Little Zhanzhan had been away from Song Yu Han. Ren country was too far, and the flight was too long. Hence, it will take some time for Song Yu Han to return...

"Of course he will! Your father loves us dearly. He'll certainly return."

Ran Xueyi couldn't understand what the emotion she was feeling. Her heartbeat was beating wildly and the tips of her hands were cold.

She was trying to comfort her son, but why was she feeling restless for? Nothing should go wrong, right?
