Xiao Ran glanced at the text message and immediately deleted it, making sure Ye Haixia didn't see it.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would definitely make a fuss, arousing Madam Ye's suspicion and causing further complications.

Since Ye Boxiong agreed to her marriage with Ye Haitao, Mrs. Ye was so happy that she left the hospital and came to the Ye family home to stay by Xiao Ran and Ye Haixia's side.

After reading the text message, Xiao Ran suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that all of this was the work of that man.

No wonder her affair with Ye Haitao caused such a sensation, dominating headlines for so many days, and even forcing Ye Boxiong to agree to the marriage.

What made Xiao Ran grit her teeth was that although she had no choice but to have a relationship with this man, it was still what she considered her first time, and she inevitably had different feelings for him.

But this scoundrel is so eager for her to marry Ye Haitao and become someone else's woman?

It turns out that, like other spoiled brats, he had no real feelings at all, and everything he did was just empty talk and sweet words.

Xiao Ran grew angrier the more she thought about it, feeling an indescribable sense of frustration, and a deep hatred for that man welled up inside her.

"Why isn't Xiao Ran replying to my texts? After all I've done for her, is she still unmoved and still holding a grudge against Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing?"

For the past few days, the man has been unable to eat or sleep, constantly thinking about Xiao Ran.

Because he failed to keep his promise, he was too ashamed to face Xiao Ran and didn't even have the courage to text or call her.

Now that he had finally settled Xiao Ran and Ye Haitao's marriage, he felt he had done a great service and hurriedly sent a text message to Xiao Ran to boast about his achievement, hoping to make up for her disappointment.

But one minute, two minutes...

Five minutes passed, and there was still no response.

In all his life, this man had never waited so anxiously for a text message or a phone call, and no one had ever dared to make him wait like this.

"Is she really angry? Will she never speak to me again?"

In a moment of panic, the man sent another text message: "Honey, did you see the text message I sent?"

Meanwhile, Xiao Ran's phone kept ringing, sometimes with text message notifications, sometimes with a phone call.

Although there were some calls she really didn't want to answer, they were all congratulatory calls, so she had to deal with them. As she got busy, she put the man's affairs out of her mind.

I had just hung up a call when my phone screen flashed and another text message came in.

Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat; it was still that man who sent it.

She quickly glanced at the message and was about to delete it when Ye Haixia, with her sharp eyes, read it aloud: "'Honey, did you see the text message I sent?'"

"Sister Xiaoran, who sent you this text message? And they're calling you 'darling'?"

Ye Haixia was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. She stared at Xiao Ran's phone almost the entire time and saw the text message content immediately.

She's always been a blabbermouth, and she never thinks before she speaks; she just yelled it out.

At that exclamation, Xiao Ran's heart jumped into his throat.

Madam Ye was not far away.

Sure enough, Ye Haixia's shout made even Mrs. Ye, who was on the phone and looking excited, stop laughing and turn to look over.

That brat is infuriating!

Xiao Ran cursed inwardly, but immediately put on a smile and said, "Who else could it be? It was a text message from one of my college classmates. We used to live in the same dorm and were very close. She just sent me a congratulatory text message, and I got anxious because I didn't reply in time!"

"Oh, so it's your college classmate! And you even called me 'darling'! That really startled me! I thought it was one of your male friends!"

"Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense am I spouting!"

Ye Haixia burst into laughter, but quickly realized she had gone too far and covered her mouth.

"You crazy girl, you never think before you speak! Your sister Xiao Ran is your sister-in-law now, how can a sister-in-law talk to her like that?"

If your brother hears this, he'll tear your mouth apart!

Madam Ye immediately began to scold him severely, but there was no anger in her tone.

It's normal for young people to send these kinds of text messages, as long as they're not from men.

Moreover, she knew Xiao Ran better than anyone else.

Xiao Ran is not only intelligent and beautiful, but also has extremely high standards; ordinary men simply cannot catch her eye.

According to her investigation, Xiao Ran has never been in a real relationship from elementary school through middle school, high school, and university until now, and is absolutely a pure virgin.

This is also why she likes Xiao Ran.

Only a girl like this is worthy of my son.

Seeing that Madam Ye didn't think much of it, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

She could easily fool a brainless girl like Ye Haixia with a few words, but Madam Ye was completely different.

"That bastard is still waiting for my text?"

"What if he calls again if I don't reply?"

The thought of that man instantly made Xiao Ran worried again.

If he calls directly in front of Mrs. Ye and her daughter, she can't just keep ignoring him, or she'll really be exposed.

She laughed and said, "I'll text my roommate first. She has a short temper and an impatient personality; she can't wait!"

As he spoke, avoiding Ye Haixia's gaze, he quickly sent a text message: "I'm busy right now, I'll contact you when I'm done!"

On the other side, the man was puffing on a cigarette, his eyes glued to his phone screen.

Unexpectedly, shortly after the text message was sent, my phone flashed and Xiao Ran's reply arrived.

After reading the message, the man immediately beamed with joy. It turned out that Xiao Ran was unable to reply to his text message.

Without a doubt, she is currently busy receiving congratulations, and is surrounded by members of the Ye family.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

The man replied to the text message without hesitation, took a deep drag on his cigar, and lay back on the luxurious sofa with a blissful expression.

As long as Xiao Ran replies to his text message, there is still a chance for things to turn around.

Finally, after half an hour, Xiao Ran's phone calls and text messages gradually decreased.

She excused herself to go to the restroom, avoiding the Ye family mother and daughter, and directly dialed the man's number.

At that moment, her heart was filled with anger.

No matter what, that man was her first man, yet he was so eager to push her to someone else. This frustration and grievance made her determined to confront him.

"Xiao Ran called me?"

Upon seeing that the caller ID showed Xiao Ran, the man immediately became excited, pressed the answer button, and held the phone tightly to his ear with both hands.

If anyone saw this scene, they would be extremely surprised. This usually calm and dignified man would actually be so agitated and out of control. Whose phone call could make him act like this?

"Are you free now?"

The man was quite tactful and didn't call him "darling" right away.

"I just want to ask you, were you behind all that hype online?"

Xiao Ran cut straight to the point, his tone icy and chilling.

"Yes! Darling, are you satisfied?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's question, the man immediately realized that there was no one else around her and shouted excitedly.

"Do you really want me to marry another man?"

Xiao Ran's voice grew colder, filled with barely concealed disappointment and anger.

"what?"

The man was instantly stunned. "Don't you want to marry Ye Haitao? It was me, I was wrong?"
