Fu Chenlie suddenly leaned in and fiercely grasped her throat!
Wen Ran found it difficult to breathe, her eyes brimming with moisture.
Fu Chenlie, looking at her flushed face, asked contemptuously, "Are you scared now?"
Wen Ran nodded mechanically, "Let... let go of me…"
"Still dare to talk back to me?"
"No... I don't dare…"
As her voice fell, the tears that fear and terror brought forth also slid down her cheeks, landing on the man's hand.
The scalding tears helped Fu Chenlie regain his senses. He looked at the woman struggling to breathe and violently released his grip.
Wen Ran was finally free, gasping for air, tears flowing even more fiercely.
She curled up on the sofa, hugging her legs, silently weeping.
Fu Chenlie observed this with cold indifference.
It wasn't until a ringtone from a cellphone broke the oppressive atmosphere in the living room.
He quickly answered the call, his voice turning gentle, "Is there news about Wan Ning?"
Wen Ran, hearing the man's words, remembered what Granny Fu had earlier said—
"My grandson has only been in love once, his experience is pure, and that girl hasn't shown up for two years, she won't come back."
She seemed to understand something.
That girl named "Wan Ning" must be Fu Chenlie's ex-girlfriend, right?
So his heart belonged to someone.
Wen Ran finally realized why Fu Chenlie despised her so much, to the point of almost strangling her to death.
She didn't continue to listen to Fu Chenlie's conversation with someone else in the living room but silently picked up her suitcase and went upstairs.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Chenlie's expression wasn't very good.
Because there was still no news about Jiang Wan Ning.
Two years ago, he had been trapped by enemies in a car accident and had fallen into a coma for a month.
When he awoke, Jiang Wan Ning had already vanished.
Fu Chenlie knew that Grandma had never liked Jiang Wan Ning, so he assumed it was Grandma who had driven her away.
But he couldn't forget Jiang Wan Ning.
So for these past two years, he had been making inquiries everywhere.
But with so many countries and regions in the world, finding one person in the vast masses was still too hard.
Even though Fu Group's enterprises spanned the globe.
Another ringtone from a cellphone started up.
Fu Chenlie snapped back to reality, seeing the caller ID note "Grandma."
He answered with a frown, "I've already picked up the marriage certificate, what else do you want?"
"You ungrateful brat, is that how you speak to your grandma?"
"Shouldn't there only be grandmas who fake illness to pressure their grandsons into marriage?"
Granny Fu snorted coldly, "I'm eighty this year, eighty! You've been putting off getting married, always waiting for that woman, as if you intentionally want to prevent me from holding a great-grandchild before I die. Since you don't care about my feelings, why should I care about yours? I will pressure you! I will not only force you to marry, but I will also pressure you to have children. Let me tell you, don't waste your effort looking for that Jiang Wan Ning, as soon as Ranran is pregnant with your child, Jiang Wan Ning will naturally come back!"
Fu Chenlie's dark pupils dimmed, "Grandma, what do you mean by that?"
"You've always believed that I drove Jiang Wan Ning away, haven't you? Don't know what I mean now?"
"Did you really hide her somewhere?!"
Granny Fu chuckled mockingly, without admitting anything, she simply said, "Guess?"
Fu Chenlie, "..."
He felt very helpless, tiredly lifting a hand to his forehead, repeatedly pinching the bridge of his nose, "I will never have children with a woman I have no feelings for!"
"Then cultivate feelings first, and have children afterward. Ranran is a good girl; if you just get to know her, you'll surely fall in love with her. You are very suitable for each other."
"Aren't you afraid I will let her get pregnant and then get rid of the child?"
