Chapter 419: 0417 No right to choose Chapter 419: 0417 No right to choose Su Ran was slightly startled and looked up at him.
“Huh? How does clearing my na have anything to do with marrying you?”
A hint of a smile appeared in Fu Qiyuan’s deep eyes as his fingers threaded through her hair, a faint fragrance enveloping the tip of his nose.
“Isn’t marrying sothing to be happy about?”
The man’s sudden statent left Su Ran sowhat unable to react.
“Yes.”
Fu Qiyuan chuckled softly, the gloom in his heart gradually dissipating, his hair now dry, and his large hand gently tousled her fluffy hair.
“So, have you decided to marry ?”
Su Ran hesitated for a mont, and Fu Qiyuan was already sitting beside her, looking at his handso face, she blinked unconsciously.
“Are you trying to trick ?”
Fu Qiyuan leaned in and kissed her forehead, his low voice spilling from his throat.
“Hmm, am I tricking you?”
Su Ran smiled lightly, “Do I have a choice to refuse?”
“No,” ca the deep and forceful voice, indeed leaving no room to refuse.
Su Ran raised her eyebrows but did not speak, and Fu Qiyuan stretched out his arm to pull her into his embrace, his chin resting on the top of her head.
“Getting you to agree was indeed not an easy task.”
Leaning against his strong and sturdy chest, Su Ran listened to his powerful heartbeat and stared unblinkingly at the button within her line of sight.
“Didn’t I agree a while ago?”
Fu Qiyuan’s brows moved slightly, his heart returning to its place, and the corners of his mouth drawing up into an extrely heart-stirring curve.
“Hmm, just wanted to confirm one more ti.”
Su Ran smiled and spoke again.
“You brought Shen Jun back from the police station?”
Fu Qiyuan was silent, “Hmm.”
“Were his brothers with him too?”
“No.”
Su Ran stopped talking and just quietly watched him.
In resignation, Fu Qiyuan stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek before saying:
“This was our agreent before, once things were settled, he would belong to .”
Su Ran was silent again, for quite a while.
“Alright!”

The matter was now concluded, and Ye Zhichen decided to take the elevator back to her own floor. As the elevator doors opened and she was about to step inside, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and with a pull, she was pushed against the wall.
Her eyelashes trembled lightly, and a unique fragrance hit her face. In view was the man’s face, close at hand.
“Is there a problem?”
Ye Zhichen first looked at the slowly closing elevator doors, then tilted her head up to look at him, her face expressionless, revealing no emotion.
Her indifference successfully darkened Chi Mu’s expression, the smile on his face so faint it could be ignored.
She had really done as he said, treating him like a complete stranger, untroubled even when seeing him, as if he didn’t exist at all.
Impressive indeed!
“Where are you headed?”
At that, Ye Zhichen raised her eyebrows slightly, smiling as she looked at him.
“President Chi, even if you aren’t aware of the ti, you can see the sky outside, right? Of course, I’m going back to my room to sleep!”
Chi Mu narrowed his eyes deeply, his profound gaze landing on her face.
“Together!”
Ye Zhichen unconsciously furrowed her brows, giving him a strange look.
Chi Mu let out a low, cold chuckle, an aura of chilling severity subtly radiating from him, “Thinking of refusing?”
Ye Zhichen looked at him, curling her lips slightly.
“I seem to have no reason to agree.”
Chi Mu reached out directly and grasped her chin, his grip unintentionally forceful.
“No reason? Ye Zhichen, don’t forget who you are.”
Ye Zhichen’s eyes imperceptibly trembled, then she lifted her head again, utterly unmoved.
“What is my identity?”
Chi Mu’s pitch-black pupils flickered with montary confusion, but upon seeing Ye Zhichen’s face clearly, they hardened once more.
“I have never forgotten my identity, and I hope President Chi won’t forget either. You have your long-cherished first love, and I have my own life. Each to their own path, you and I should not disturb each other.”
Not disturb each other?
These re four words made Chi Mu’s expression turn incredibly dark. The hand braced against the wall tensed, knuckles growing white as if a trendous tornado was condensing around him, ready to lash out the next second and shred soone to pieces.
“Too late, you no longer have the right to choose.”
Chi Mu grabbed her wrist in one swift motion and pressed the elevator button. The elevator door soon opened.
He practically dragged her into the elevator with brute force. As Ye Zhichen struggled and fought back, her voice was filled with panic and confusion.
“Chi Mu, let go of !”
“Ye Zhichen, you’re far too disobedient,” said Chi Mu as his hands tightly restrained her, giving her no leeway to move.
Ye Zhichen’s voice was ultimately cut off by the slowly closing elevator doors.

With the scandal exposed, Su Xinyan’s room was early on besieged by journalists, making it impossible to inhabit, and she didn’t plan to stay any longer, rushing back to the Su Family ho overnight.
The scandal fernted too quickly, and now, even the front gate of the Su Household was similarly overrun with reporters.
As Su Xinyan’s car approached from afar, the reporters sward around it, blocking her way forward and back.
With a pale face, Su Xinyan shrank back in the rear seat, staring through the car window at the reporters outside, feeling chills in her heart.
The reporters outside kept banging on the car window, as if they wanted to devour her alive.
“Miss Xinyan, do you have anything you’d like to explain regarding tonight’s events?”
“What kind of deep hatred led you to so ruthlessly plot against your own sister?”
“What exactly happened between you and Su Ran? Could it be that you also orchestrated the incident ten years ago?”
“Miss Xinyan, could you please step out of the car and say a few words? Are you refusing to answer our questions because you feel guilty?”
Su Xinyan’s face was deathly pale, the reporters’ questions piercing her heart like knives.
Seeing the situation outside, the driver also did not dare to open the door easily, fearing that they would hurt Su Xinyan.
In the end, it was the Su Family’s bodyguards who stepped forward to separate the reporters, and with the assistant and driver surrounding her, Su Xinyan was finally able to make it through the gates of the Su ho.
In the living room, Wen Peipei, Su Hongde, and Tan Lirong sat on the sofa with somber expressions, browsing the news online.
Such explosive news, especially revealed during an elite networking event, had reporters everywhere. As soon as they caught wind of sothing, they imdiately broadcasted the video online, along with Shen Jun’s testimony.
The onslaught of abuse and the phenonon of the world piling on when one is down, Su Xinyan felt the profound truth of this saying tonight more than ever.
All the negative information, as if by so arrangent, was released one after another.
Even though Enrich and Chongguang stepped in to manage public relations imdiately, they couldn’t stop this storm.
And with the current state of the Su and Gu Families, throwing money at the problem was out of the question. They feared that even before the money could take effect, the news would leak out, only making matters worse.
Besides, such newsworthy scandals weren’t sothing the Su and Gu Families could smooth over regardless of where they were.
