On the way back, Jian Ran tried to communicate with Qin Yue several times to let him know the seriousness of the situation. However, the moment she opened her mouth, Qin Yue looked at her coldly, she swallowed her words back down her throat.

When they got home, she tugged on his sleeve and said carefully, "Qin Yue, just listen to me once. Don't interfere in this matter. It's not something that you can meddle in. "

Qin Yue looked at her and held the back of her head, making her look at him. He said gently, "Jian Ran, trust me."

These few simple words seemed to contain a continuous stream of power that flowed into Jian Ran's body bit by bit. Her pale face slowly recovered some of its color.

Jian Ran looked at her, pursed her lips and said carefully, "Qin Yue, why didn't you ask me why I was locked up in the police station?"

Qin Yue touched her face and said with a pained expression, "Jian Ran, no matter what the reason is, you just need to remember that I'm behind you."

He had known about her since three years ago, and she could even be considered to be related to him.

That good-for-nothing from the Gu family had hurt her three years ago. At that time, Jian Ran hadn't been his, Qin Yue's, woman.

Now that Jian Ran was his wife, he couldn't tolerate anyone making her sad, not even blood relatives.

"I …" Jian Ran hid a lot of things in her heart. She wanted to say it to Qin Yue a few times, but in the end, she couldn't.

That incident three years ago had been a pain in her heart, and she didn't want to show anyone the scars she'd had in the past.

She had always been trying hard to forget what was bad in the past, trying hard to look forward. But now, what she needed to do was exactly what Qin Yue said. Believe him.

No matter how powerful the Gu family was, no matter what tricks Gu Nanjing could pull, as long as she remembered how to use force to defend, how to flood the land with water, the Gu family couldn't be strong enough to cover the sky with one hand.

Jian Ran sighed silently, then heard Qin Yue's low and sexy voice saying, "I told someone to prepare something to eat, go eat something."

Jian Ran shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

Qin Yue hugged her, "Then go take a bath."

Jian Ran nodded and went back to her room to take a bath. When she came out of the bathroom, Qin Yue came in with a bowl of ginger soup.

Jian Ran took the bowl and gulped it down. After drinking it, she threw him a gentle smile. "Thank you."

Qin Yue put the bowl to the side, pulled up the blanket and covered her with it: "It's getting late, go to sleep. Don't be late for work tomorrow. "

"Yes." Jian Ran lay obediently under the blanket and looked at him with her big, watery eyes.

"I'll accompany you." Qin Yue laid down beside her. He held her hand with one hand and patted her back with the other to coax her to sleep.

Today, he was in Lin City discussing a project when he received a call saying that something had happened to Jian Ran and that he had rushed back without delay. Who knew that he had come back late and locked her up for several hours.

She was only a girl who was not yet twenty-four years old. Normally, no matter how strong she was, if she suddenly encountered something like this, she would definitely feel extremely flustered and scared.

But when she saw him, she didn't shed a single tear. She even tried to smile and talk to him. The more powerful Jian Ran was, the more Qin Yue wanted to protect her.

As her husband, he hoped that he could take good care of her and not let her suffer any more harm in this life.

After confirming that Jian Ran had fallen asleep, Qin Yue quietly got up and went into the study room. He dialed a number and said, "Liu Yong, settle this matter properly. Tomorrow, I don't want to hear any gossip that I don't want to hear."

With that, Qin Yue hung up the phone without caring if the person on the other end of the line heard his words or not.

Jian Ran was having a restless sleep as she kept shouting something. Her palm-sized face was scrunched up into a frown.

She was dreaming again. This was a terrible nightmare that she had been having all these years.

In her dreams, a group of people were pointing their fingers at her, scolding her for raising such a shameless daughter. Even her elder sister's man had to be taken away from her.

The person closest to her was by her side, but no one stood up to help her. Even more frightening was that these messages were personally sent by them.

She opened her mouth to explain, but no words came out. She could only look at the contemptuous gazes and listen to the curses coming out of her mouth.

"Of course …" It was her mother, who loved her the most, who called out to her.

"Mom …" It took Jian Ran a lot of effort to shout that single word.

When she stretched out her hand to grab ahold of her mother, the next moment, her mother turned away with tears streaming down her face. "Since young, you have always been smart, smart, and self-reliant. Your sister …"

"What's the point of saying so much? The Jane family does not have a useless daughter like you. " This time it was Jian Ran's father who spoke.

His father's face, which had always been so affectionate before, was now so strange that Jian Ran seemed never to know him.

At this moment, she felt that the taut string in her heart had suddenly snapped and her heart had turned cold.

Was it because she had been a strong child since she was young, and because she had lost the heart of the Gu family's eldest young master, that she was destined to be abandoned like an abandoned child?

Jian Ran suddenly felt very cold, as if she had been placed in a thousand-year-old ice cave. It was so cold that it made people shiver.

Just when Jian Ran felt that she was about to be submerged in ice water, a pair of warm, large hands grabbed her hand in time and pulled her out of the ice cave.

Jian Ran abruptly opened her eyes and met a pair of eyes full of concern and tenderness.

"Qin, Qin Yue?" Jian Ran, who had just woken up from a nightmare, couldn't tell which one was the real one and which one was the real one.

Perhaps Qin Yue didn't even exist in this world. He was just an imaginary figure that she had to accompany her.

Qin Yue held her gently in his arms and patted her back with his big palm as if he was coaxing a child: "How about I tell you a story?"

He knew she was having nightmares, and he knew better what she was dreaming about, but he said nothing, trying to distract her in his own way.

Jian Ran quietly leaned against his chest and nodded.

Regardless of whether Qin Yue really existed or not, she only knew that he could make her not be so scared at this moment.

Qin Yue rubbed her head: "Do you know why the eyes of little rabbits are red?"

Jian Ran had heard of this story since she was very young. However, she chose to shake her head, wanting to hear what he had to say.

She had just finished shaking her head when she heard Qin Yue continue in his sexy voice, "It's red because it doesn't use eye drops when its eyes are dry."

Jian Ran couldn't help but laugh at Qin Yue's nonsense, "Do you often doze off during class before?"

Qin Yue nodded and spoke with seriousness: "It's possible."
