Chapter 685: 0675 I believe in you Chapter 685: 0675 I believe in you “Let’s begin together then, we’re just about to start.”

Fu Qiyuan nodded and sat down beside Su Ran.

As their eyes met, Fu Qiyuan politely nodded towards Su Zhongyuan.

In Su Zhongyuan’s elderly eyes, there was a depth of inquiry and caution.

Especially when looking at Fu Qiyuan, whose unassuming demeanor, innate powerful aura, and his refined and graceful mannerisms, fully exhibited that the man before him was no ordinary individual.

“Xiao Ran, he is…”
Su Ran looked at Su Zhongyuan and said softly,
“Grandpa, this is my fiance, Fu Qiyuan.”

Upon hearing Su Ran’s introduction, a smile flashed in Fu Qiyuan’s eyes again.

He greeted Su Zhongyuan with ease and respect,
“Grandfather, I am Fu Qiyuan.”

After all, Su Zhongyuan was a man who had weathered great storms and he quickly regained his composure with a light nod.

Yet his gaze stayed on Fu Qiyuan.

Fu?

Suddenly, something came to mind, and his expression became one of astonishment.

“Wait… what did you just say your name was? Fu… Qiyuan?”

Fu Qiyuan nodded, “Yes.”

“You are from the Fu Consortium?”

“The decision-maker!” Fu Qiyuan coolly finished the sentence for Su Zhongyuan.

Thus, Su Zhongyuan’s expression changed from doubt to sheer shock.

He turned to look at Su Ran, and after a long while, he said with a shocked tone,
“How did the two of you meet? And to even…”
Su Zhongyuan really couldn’t fathom how Su Ran could have come to know someone like Fu Qiyuan.

The backgrounds of these two were worlds apart, simply not of the same circle.

Although society now claims equality for all, how could it truly be equal?

Even though the Su family was a prestigious clan in Yong City, they were not in a position to mingle with people from the Fu family’s circle.

Let alone someone who was a decision-maker at the Fu Consortium!

With such a family background, suitable matches would be hard to find anywhere in the world.

“We met by a stroke of fate. He’s been very kind to me. Grandpa, your blessing is all we need!”

Su Zhongyuan sighed deeply and shook his head slightly.

This wasn’t a matter of blessing!

What kind of family was the Fu family, after all? A top-tier, prestigious family with a century-old heritage, their wealth and power were beyond what most could even aspire to.

But for Xiao Ran, it may not necessarily be a good thing; it’s more like a Dragon Pool and Tiger’s Den!

“Do the Fu family know about your plans to come to the Su family for a betrothal?”

Hearing this, Su Ran also turned her head to look towards Fu Qiyuan.

Seeing her glance, Fu Qiyuan took her hand that was resting on her leg, gently squeezed it, and gave her a reassuring smile.

“Grandfather, rest assured, no one can interfere with my decisions!”

Hearing the man’s words, Su Ran instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn’t ignorant of the gap between her and Fu Qiyuan.

A family like the Fu’s, which values equal social status, may look down on her background.

But as long as Fu Qiyuan didn’t mind, no one could stop them.

The man she had fallen for was not someone she would easily give up.

If someone dared to snatch him away, she wouldn’t hesitate to chop off their claws.

However, Fu Qiyuan’s words could not soothe Su Zhongyuan’s heart.

Being mismatched in social status, how could the Fu family possibly allow Xiao Ran to enter their doors?

Even if she entered, what would surface appearances matter, when the reality might be very different?

Intrigue and backstabbing!

Even now, there were many coveting the position of decision-maker at the Fu Consortium!

Su Zhongyuan looked deeply at Su Ran, sighing once again,
“I know I can’t sway your decision, but marriage isn’t just about two people. Without the elders’ approval, the path becomes ever more difficult, it’s like…”
At these words, Su Ran’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

Su Zhongyuan didn’t complete his sentence, but she understood his unspoken words.

Like her mother and Su Hongde!

Her and Gu Heng!

Without their parents’ approval, even if they don’t part ways, they would still end up fragmented!

Xiao Ran’s heart softened a bit.

She knew this was the most sincere advice her grandfather could give her.

“I understand, Grandpa.”

“I have no other expectations, I just hope you are happy, and… in good health!”

“Mm.”

“Alright, let’s eat.”

Su Zhongyuan said, and picked up his chopsticks first, but he didn’t have much of an appetite.

Lunch ended in silence, with three people eating without speaking or making eye contact.

In the end, Xiao Ran and Fu Qiyuan helped Su Zhongyuan into his car, and only when they watched his car drive off into the distance did they look away.

“Xiao Ran.”

Xiao Ran was embraced in a warm hug, smelling the familiar and pleasant scent of the man, she softly responded, “Mm?”

“Just trust me, none of the things Grandpa mentioned will happen, and I won’t let anyone hurt you!”

Xiao Ran smiled and looked up at him.

“I trust you!”

Fu Qiyuan hugged her tightly, “Promise me, don’t leave me so easily.”

Xiao Ran looked at the man’s unusually serious expression and raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Depends on your performance?”

Fu Qiyuan frowned unhappily, clearly dissatisfied with her answer.

Xiao Ran gazed at him intently, absorbing the expressions on his face, then suddenly chuckled, wrapped her arms around his waist, and countered.

“Would you let me leave you easily?”

“No!”

Xiao Ran looked up in his arms, her chin resting against his chest, her eyes sparkling brightly.

“So, I wouldn’t leave you easily either!”

Fu Qiyuan was now satisfied. He leaned down and pecked her lips, saying happily:
“Let’s go, let’s go home!”

“Aren’t you working this afternoon?”

“No, do you have any work left at the company?”

Xiao Ran thought about the brand logo issue and was silent for two seconds.

“Um, nothing major.”

“Then let’s go home.”

“But my car…”

“Leave it to Qin Feng!”

Xiao Ran was once again skipping work with the man!

–
Platinum Lanting.

The car came to a slow stop, and as Fu Qiyuan and Xiao Ran got out, they saw a tall and upright figure standing at the villa’s gate.

Even though they could only see his back, Xiao Ran’s lips twitched involuntarily!

The man was wearing a white casual shirt, black casual pants, one hand in his pocket, the other dragging a suitcase, and on his feet, a pair of glaring flip-flops!!

He stood at the gate, and even from a “distant” range, Xiao Ran could feel the thickness of his sulking uncertainty emanating from his silhouette.

Meanwhile, Fu Qiyuan’s face turned dark the moment he saw that figure.

As the two of them walked closer, the man’s muttered voice became clearer.

“Fuck, I come back at this time; hope I’m not walking straight into the line of fire, right?”

“Although my bro isn’t human, I’m the real deal, a person with soft skin that’s easy to push over, wouldn’t he just ravage me until there’s nothing left?”

“No, no, no, I’m too young to die here, better go back to my lonely little peninsular home!”

Xiao Ran’s eyelids twitched, and she turned to look at Fu Qiyuan.

That expression said it all…

At that moment, the man suddenly turned around, and when he saw Fu Qiyuan’s face springing up before him, Xiao Ran clearly saw his pupils suddenly constrict.

The next second.

“Mommy! Ghosts!!”
