Lan Keren drove the car out as he held the child and got in. The villa’s gate opened, and the car slowly moved out.
"Boom——Boom——"
Suddenly, the silent night was torn apart by deafening explosions that made the whole earth tremble. The skyward flas lit up the darkness, the light blinding.
Having traveled less than fifty ters, Lan Keren’s car abruptly stopped amidst the shaking. The windshield shattered with a crash, and shards of glass flew everywhere.
Tang Yuchen swiftly protected the child with his body, while Lan Keren just as quickly shielded themselves from the flying shards.
The two were still in shock when two more explosions sounded, and the car violently shook once again.
This unexpected accident terrified them, but they were only stunned for a second before Lan Keren quickly regained composure, stepping on the gas pedal, the car surged forward three hundred ters before she braked.
Looking back, they saw the villa destroyed and ablaze.
Tang Yuchen’s eyes narrowed dangerously, a cold sharpness flashing within them.
Lan Keren, pale, asked him, "Who could have done this?"
The man’s lips were tightly pressed; he didn’t know who was responsible. But the attacker’s intention was clear, to put them to death!
"Chen, thank goodness we got out." After a while, Lan Keren said with relief.
Tang Yuchen said in a deep voice, "I’m afraid I can’t return for now."
"Yeah, it will be very dangerous for you to go back before we figure out who did this. We have no choice but to seek refuge at William’s place again..."

After An Ruo agreed to Mo Hua’s proposal, Mo Hua recovered exceptionally fast, and within a couple of days, he was lively and clamoring to be discharged from the hospital.
Only after the doctors said he could be discharged did An Ruo allow it and proceeded with the discharge procedures.
Once out of the hospital, he brought up the engagent. He said that in a couple of days there would be an auspicious date, suitable for an engagent, and suggested they could just fix the wedding then.
An Ruo said it was too soon; she had nothing prepared, and Xiao Ji hadn’t returned. Even if they were to get engaged, it should wait until his return.
Mo Hua said they could get engaged first and hold the wedding ceremony once An Ji returned. He bluntly told her that he feared she might change her mind, so they had to get engaged imdiately, or else he would feel uneasy.
An Ruo hesitated whether to agree or not, Mo Hua quickly bought a ring and inford everyone; even his parents knew about it.
Mo Hua’s parents had always looked forward to his marriage. Learning he had a girlfriend, they imdiately ca over to et An Ruo, told her many benefits of getting engaged, and agreed that the day after next was auspicious for engagent.
Seeing An Ruo still hesitant, Mo Hua suggested they didn’t need a lavish engagent ceremony; a simple family dinner would suffice.
After his persistent coaxing, An Ruo finally nodded her consent and went through with a very simple engagent ceremony with him.
With the ring he gave her on her finger, she was now his fiancée. And her decision to marry him grew even firr, with no more hesitation in her heart.
When Tang Yuchen learned about this, everything was already settled, and An Ruo’s engagent had been several days ago.
He rushed back from Country A with Kangkang, and the first thing he did was to look for her.
An Ruo, upon receiving his call, didn’t show any surprise. She knew sooner or later he would learn of her engagent. However, this ti his news was quite slow; she had been engaged for a week before he found out.
"Do you need sothing? If there’s sothing, just say it over the phone," she said to him indifferently.
