Pampering wife without restraint

Chapter 195 A Carefully Laid Trap

The door of the cafe was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Moran strode in. His eyes were fixed directly on Shen Erlan's position. His powerful aura instantly made the atmosphere of the entire cafe become depressing.

Shen Erlan took a sip of coffee and suddenly felt a chill that could not be ignored. She looked up involuntarily and saw Xiao Moran appearing like a god of war emitting cold air.

His face was so gloomy that it seemed to swallow up all the light, making people shudder.

He pressed forward step by step until he reached Shen Erlan's desk.

The man sitting opposite Shen Erlan was frightened by the sudden appearance of the "black shadow". The words he had been talking about were instantly stuck in his throat, and his wide-open eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

Xiao Moran's eyes were as sharp as a knife, with anger and jealousy intertwined. He locked onto Shen Erlan tightly, and said in a low and threatening voice: "Shen Erlan, how dare you come to a blind date behind my back?"

Every word of this sentence seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth with difficulty, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill that froze the air around them.

Inside the coffee shop, all sounds came to a halt, and all eyes were focused on this small space.

When Shen Erlan first saw Xiao Moran, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, followed by panic and uneasiness.

But soon, she forced herself to calm down and used a cold tone to try to cover up the turbulent waves in her heart: "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Moran did not answer, but responded with action - he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Erlan into his strong arms.

His movements were domineering and decisive, as if he wanted to completely integrate her into his world.

Shen Erlan was caught off guard and staggered a few steps, her cheeks flushed with anger and embarrassment. She struggled desperately, but in vain.

"Xiao Moran, let me go!" Her voice was trembling, but still stubborn.

Xiao Moran remained unmoved, and the strength in his hands became even tighter. His deep voice rang in Shen Erlan's ears, with irresistible force: "Come back with me."

Shen Erlan glared at him, with rage burning in her eyes: "Why do you treat me like this?"

Xiao Moran snorted coldly, his eyes as cold as ice: "Just because you are my woman, is this reason enough?"

At this moment, the man on the blind date mustered up the courage to try to persuade her, but was silenced by Xiao Moran's cold look. He had to sit back tremblingly, not daring to say anything more.

Xiao Moran no longer paid attention to the people around him. He bent down, picked up Shen Erlan and walked out with big strides.

His steps were firm and powerful, and every step seemed to declare his sovereignty over Shen Erlan.

Shen Erlan struggled hard in his arms, but could only feel the warmth and heartbeat coming from his chest in vain.

A moment later, the car driven by Xiao Hei stopped steadily in front of the gate of Parkview Mansion.

The car door opened slightly, and Xiao Moran stepped out. His voice was as cold as the winter wind, "Do you want to go by yourself, or should I carry you up?"

Shen Erlan bit her lip and stared at Xiao Moran stubbornly, "I'll go by myself!"

She got out of the car, straightened her clothes, and walked quickly into the mansion.

Xiao Moran followed closely behind, and the two of them walked into the living room, one in front and one behind.

The light in the room was mottled, and the heavy curtains were half-drawn. Only a few sparse rays of light barely penetrated the gaps, adding a touch of unreal haziness to the entire space.

There is a gloomy atmosphere in the air, which makes people feel depressed.

Xiao Moran walked straight to the sofa and sat down, "Come here."

His voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable momentum.

Shen Erlan stood there, her body tense, stubbornly refusing to move:

"I've made it very clear that I don't want to be someone else's replacement. There's no need for us to meet again."

Thinking of Qianxue, the pain in her heart was like tiny needles piercing her again and again, almost suffocating her.

She bit her lower lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall, just wanting to maintain her remaining dignity.

Xiao Moran frowned slightly, and a trace of confusion and inquiry flashed in his deep eyes, "Who told you that you are a substitute?"

His eyes were fixed on Shen Erlan, trying to find the answer from her expression.

Shen Erlan finally raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall:

"I don't know who that person is, but the photo she sent was of you paying homage to Qianxue, and the ring in front of the tomb... Isn't all this enough to show her position in your heart?"

"Ring? What ring?" There was a hint of surprise in Xiao Moran's voice.

"You're still quibbling. I've seen that ring in your coat." Shen Erlan's voice was mixed with a bit of grievance and disappointment.

Xiao Moran suddenly realized that the misunderstanding was caused by the ring that appeared out of nowhere: "I have never bought a ring."

Shen Erlan was surprised. "You have never bought a ring, so...?"

Xiao Moran gently wiped away the tears on her face with his fingertips, "Silly Lanlan, have you ever thought that this might be an elaborate trap?"

Shen Erlan was slightly startled, her thoughts drifted away in an instant, and she fell into deep thought.

As for Xiao Moran's personality, he was arrogant and cold, and he simply disdained to deceive her with lies.

She looked into Xiao Moran's deep and determined eyes, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in her heart.

I have to admit that what he said makes sense. Looking back on the things that happened during this period, those seemingly coincidental events now seem full of doubts.

Then she slowly handed over the photos on her phone.

Xiao Moran took it and examined it one by one.

The first one shows him paying homage to Qianxue, clear and solemn. The second one shows a ring placed alone next to the tombstone, revealing only the trousers and leather shoes similar to his. The third one shows a close-up of the ring. The fourth one shows Qianxue’s gentle smile.

"Just because you see these, you think I treat you as a substitute for Qianxue?" Xiao Moran's voice was full of helplessness and pity.

Shen Erlan's eyes flickered, and she said stubbornly, "Isn't it? I look so similar to her, and Uncle Zhong told me that Qianxue sacrificed herself to protect you."

Xiao Moran sighed softly, his voice low, "Qianxue, she is Xiao Hei's sister, and to me, she is like my own sister. She is from Country M, with deep black skin. Although she has some similarities with you in appearance, her eyes are not as charming as yours, and her mouth is not as delicate and small as yours."

Shen Erlan blushed when she heard this, and then whispered, "You said she had a dark complexion, but I thought it was because of the angles at which the photos were taken. Although I had some doubts, I ignored this point..."

Her words gradually became as soft as a mosquito's, and the guilt caused by misunderstanding in her heart quietly spread.

At this time, Xiao Moran had quickly dialed the number and ordered in a deep voice: "Xiao Hei, use the number I gave you to track down who is using it, and investigate who else was at the scene when your sister was worshipped."

After the call ended, he looked at Shen Erlan deeply, his eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.

Shen Erlan lowered her eyes involuntarily, realizing that she had been prejudiced by Uncle Zhong's words and had wrongly blamed Xiao Moran.

She said awkwardly: "Well, it seems that I have wronged you."

"Well, now that the misunderstanding is resolved, let's talk about your blind date." Xiao Moran's deep eyes were like a cold pond at this moment, so cold that people dared not look directly at them.
