"Xiao Ran must be mine, and she can only have one man in her life!"

The man kept replaying the video on his phone, which showed Xiao Ran in the hospital. This was the most widely circulated video online, fully demonstrating Xiao Ran's calm and composed demeanor and his ability to control the situation.

Xiao Ran's every move was captivating, making men's hearts race.

He has watched this video countless times, ten times, twenty times, he can't even remember how many times.

Each time I see it, my heart flutters a little more; each time I see it, I recall every little detail of our first date.

This woman possessed an innate allure that made him completely unable to resist.

At this moment, the man was filled with fear and frustration. His promise had ultimately failed; he had not been able to kill Lu Wanqing and Ji Xiuhan, and now he didn't even have the courage to contact Xiao Ran.

"Xiao Ran, I will never let you leave me!"

"I know you're disappointed in me this time. Since we can't get rid of Ji Xiuhan and the others for the time being, I'll help you become the young mistress of the Ye family as soon as possible and fulfill your greatest wish!"

"No matter what, you can only belong to me!"

The man gritted his teeth, finished speaking in a fierce tone, and immediately dialed several phone numbers in succession.

"Yes, do as I say! You all call that old man from the Ye family, offer your congratulations and urge him to get his son and daughter-in-law's wedding done as soon as possible!"

"Of course, we can have our wife call Mrs. Ye!"

Xiao Ran marrying Ye Haitao is the safest option. Ye Haitao is not a man, and Xiao Ran, as the wife of the Ye family, would never cheat on him for the sake of her reputation.

In this way, Xiao Ran will eventually return to his embrace.

At worst, he can lower his stance and try to please her in the future.

If Xiao Ran marries someone else, he will truly lose her forever.

"That bastard, he really lied to me! He hasn't even called or texted me yet!"

On the other side, Xiao Ran kept checking her phone, but the man was still nowhere to be found, which made her anger burn even more fiercely.

In order to get him to do something, she didn't hesitate to give herself to him.

Although it wasn't the first time, it was her first real encounter with him.

After all, that night in Ningcheng, she was under the influence of drugs and lost everything in a daze, which was not what she truly wanted.

In that out-of-control madness, she didn't experience any of the so-called beauty.

Therefore, even if this man in front of him was just being used, he still held extraordinary significance for Xiao Ran.

Meanwhile, with Ye Haitao by his side, Ye Boxiong's mood gradually improved, and his health also recovered considerably.

By the next day, he had basically recovered.

Xiao Ran brought Madam Ye and Ye Haixia to the monitoring room to visit them.

Ye Haixia stayed hidden behind Xiao Ran.

As the group was chatting, Ye Boxiong's phone suddenly rang.

He rarely makes phone calls, and no one dares to dial them casually unless it's a specific person.

Ye Boxiong glanced at his phone, and Ye Haitao quickly picked it up. After seeing the note on the screen, he said softly, "Dad, it's a call from Chen Qiming, the head of the Chen family."

The Chen family is also one of the top ten families in the capital. Although it is far less profound than the Ye family, its strength and status are still not to be underestimated. Moreover, it has close economic ties with the Ye family, which is why Ye Boxiong has his number.

"Chen Qiming? Why is that old man calling me?"

Ye Boxiong was surprised.

Seeing that the phone kept ringing, he finally nodded.

Ye Haitao immediately pressed the answer button and handed the phone to his ear.

An aged voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, speaking very quickly: "Congratulations, Patriarch Ye! Congratulations, Patriarch Ye! It is truly a blessing for the Ye family to have found such an excellent daughter-in-law!"

"Master Ye, have you settled the marriage arrangements for your son and daughter-in-law? When do you plan to hold the wedding? I'd like to prepare a small gift for the young couple!"

Chen Qiming didn't give Ye Boxiong a chance to interrupt, and rattled off a long string of words.

The soundproofing in the monitoring room was excellent, and everyone held their breath in silence, making the voice on the phone exceptionally clear to everyone.

Ye Boxiong was speechless.

What he least wanted to hear at that moment was Xiao Ran's marriage to Ye Haitao.

He suddenly raised his hand, about to smash the phone away.

"What are you doing?"

Madam Ye and Chen Qiming knew each other well, and upon seeing this, she quickly snatched the phone, replying with a smile, "Thank you, Patriarch Chen! Thank you, Patriarch Chen! Don't worry, the two children aren't engaged yet, but they'll be getting married soon. We'll definitely invite Patriarch Chen to witness it! Hehehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing what gift you mentioned..."

She spoke while laughing heartily.

Although she is the mistress of the Ye family, she has not had any real power over the years. As a woman, she inevitably likes to take advantage of others.

"Don't worry, Madam Ye, I'll start preparing the gifts right away. I hope you can do it as soon as possible!"

Chen Qiming laughed heartily, "Not only me, but everyone else must be looking forward to drinking your son's wedding wine!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we'll do it as soon as possible! The engagement party will definitely be in no more than seven days, and we'll definitely invite you there!"

Madam Ye immediately agreed.

Xiao Ran is now widely recognized as the young mistress of the Ye family, and her marriage to Ye Haitao is a done deal. Moreover, the two are not young anymore, so Mrs. Ye naturally hopes it will happen as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, the room instantly returned to silence.

Xiao Ran's face was already flushed, and she silently lowered her head.

Ye Haitao remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Ye Haixia and his wife, however, were all smiles.

"You bastard! Who gave you permission to answer this call?"

Ye Boxiong, whose mood had just improved, suddenly became furious and pointed at Madam Ye, about to explode.

"Dad, control your emotions, please don't get angry!"

Ye Haitao quickly patted his back to comfort him.

Ye Boxiong wanted to continue his reprimand, but Xiao Ran was right in front of him. Even if he disliked his future daughter-in-law, as the head of the Ye family and the future father-in-law, he had to maintain his composure.

He snorted heavily, closed his eyes again, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to leave.

"Old thing!"

Madam Ye snorted in response, stood up, grabbed Ye Haixia and Xiao Ran's hands, and stormed out.

Now that things have come to this, Xiao Ran must become her daughter-in-law, and no one can stop her!

She had suffered Ye Boxiong's wrath her whole life, and this time she was determined to do things her own way.

Along the way, she was secretly planning how to prepare for Ye Haitao and Xiao Ran's engagement ceremony and which guests to invite.

Even if Ye Boxiong disagrees, it won't work.

After all, Xiao Ran is too outstanding. If it weren't for her holding things together these past few days, the house would have been in complete chaos long ago.

Just as Mrs. Ye was making her plans, her phone rang.

The caller was a woman, none other than the wife of the Chen family head.

"Hello, Mrs. Chen. What brings you to call me? I just hung up on your husband!"

Mrs. Ye answered the call with a smile.

"Mrs. Ye, congratulations on finding such an excellent daughter-in-law!"

Mrs. Chen's voice was full of envy, "My good-for-nothing son of mine only knows how to play all day long, and he still hasn't found a suitable partner. Tell me quickly, when are you two going to have your engagement banquet? I must give the young couple a big red envelope this time!"

"It'll be ready soon, no more than seven days!"

Mrs. Ye responded happily.

"Seven more days?"

I thought it would be done tomorrow!

"It's too late for tomorrow, but I'll try my best! Thank you so much, Mrs. Chen!"

Madam Ye couldn't stop smiling; at that moment, what she loved to hear most was others praising Xiao Ran.

No sooner had Mrs. Chen hung up than Mrs. Ye's phone rang again, less than three minutes later.
