Xu Wan saw it, and a glimmer of hope arose in his eyes.

But the figure only paused for a moment, then continued forward and soon disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat, as if something had completely slipped away.

……

"Ranran, I..."

On the way back to the venue, Shen Yan followed Su Ran.

He felt guilty about what happened today.

Today was supposed to be the final of the jewelry design competition, but it was interrupted because of their family affairs.

Xu Wan did all this to target the Shen family and him.

Also, what he didn't tell Su Ran...

Shen Yan had countless words to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Ran seemed to know what he was going to say.

"Brother Shen..."

Su Ran stopped and interrupted him. At this moment, her sincerity was mixed with a bit of seriousness, as if she had something important to say to Shen Yan.

"You are Yuanyuan's brother. We have known each other for so many years. I know you best."

"Xu Wan and I have known each other for many years, and I know her well."

"So, you don't have to take responsibility for what Xu Wan did. The responsibility lies on you."

"What happened today has nothing to do with you. You don't need to blame yourself. What happened in the capital..."

"When I received her call and realized that the road led to the Fu family's old house, I already felt something was wrong. It was just her concern and had nothing to do with you."

"I understand. You didn't tell me after you knew it because you didn't want to make me sad, Brother Shen..."

Su Ran looked up and looked straight into Shen Yan's eyes.

The man in front of me is still as bright and sunny as before, but he is different from before. There is something else in his eyes.

Su Ran knew that he liked her.

When she was young, she also admired this handsome older brother, but times have changed and her heart now belongs to someone else.

She didn't want him to be trapped by something unnecessary.

After much thought, she had to say something.

"Brother Shen, you are very good. Your career, appearance, family background, and character are all top-notch. You deserve someone who loves you and whom you love, to be by your side."

Shen Yan's heart trembled slightly.

He seemed to have guessed what she was going to say.

He liked her but never expressed it. But Ranran was so smart and insightful, how could he not see it?

"Brother Shen, you are Yuanyuan's brother, which means you are my brother. I am not worthy of you..."

"Ranran..."

As Su Ran said this, Shen Yan interrupted her.

It seemed as if he didn't want to hear what she said next.

How could she not be worthy?

She deserves it!

He just missed the opportunity.

Shen Yan took a deep breath, and a hint of relief appeared in his smile. "Ranran, I will be your brother for life. Don't worry, if I meet someone I like next time, I will pursue them immediately and won't miss the opportunity again."

Su Ran looked at him.

The scene when I first saw Shen Yan emerged in my mind. At that time, he looked just like this, with a sunny smile that made people unable to take their eyes off him.

Such a smile appeared on his face again, and Su Ran's heart finally relaxed.

She wanted Shen Yan to have his own happiness.

He deserves all the best.

Return to the judges' seat at the venue.

The venue's big screen showed that everything had been "cleaned up" and the host was already ready on the stage again, waiting for the backstage announcement to start, and then he would proceed with the next process.

In the audience, despite the incident just now.

But everyone present was a prominent figure, and they had read the gossip and had already collected their thoughts and turned their attention back to the upcoming finals.

As soon as Su Ran returned to the judges' seat, the host was given the "start" command from backstage.

"Next, let's invite our next outstanding designer..."

As the host finished speaking, the designer came on stage, and the big screen that had just played the explicit video was now showing the designer's work.

Afterwards, one work after another was displayed.

When Su Ran looked at those works, the name "Gu Chi" still popped up inexplicably in his mind.

Not only that, she even felt a sense of panic, as if something was getting farther and farther away from her and she was about to lose it.

What's going on here?

It has been clearly confirmed that Gu Chi is not Fu Jinhan.

But why do I suddenly have this feeling?

Su Ran felt a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously touched the ring on her left ring finger and rubbed it carefully, as if to relieve the panic in her heart.

Sure enough, her heart gradually calmed down.

When the host announced that the next designer would come on stage to present his work, a staff member quietly walked over to Su Ran.

"Miss Su, someone asked me to give this to you. They said it's very important and must be given to you immediately."

The staff were worried.

It took her a while of mental struggle before she finally made the decision to send the things up immediately.

When the man gave it to her, he said it was a very important thing.

What if it’s really important... The staff finally didn’t delay and delivered the item.

Su Ran frowned.

Her eyes fell on the object in the staff's hand, which was a jewelry box that looked very exquisite.

What's inside?

Something important?

Just as Su Ran reached out to take it, a bodyguard stopped her.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid there might be danger. Please let me check it out." The bodyguard asked firmly.

The fourth young master had instructed that no matter what possible danger there was, the lady must not be touched, and this was a possible danger.

"Ah."

Su Ran responded.

But her eyes never left the box. Looking at the box, the panic in her heart, which had just calmed down a little, inexplicably revived at this moment and gradually became more intense.

The bodyguard checked the outside of the box and found nothing unusual, so he opened the box carefully.

Still nothing unusual.

Inside the jewelry box, there was a ring, and that ring...

The bodyguard thought the face looked familiar and immediately lowered the jewelry box in his hand to ensure that Su Ran could see it more clearly.

When Su Ran saw the ring, her heart skipped a beat.

This ring... is exactly the same as the one on her hand.

Su Ran subconsciously took the ring. She looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was the "Waiting" ring she posted, just one of the women's rings.

Who sent it? What does it mean?

Countless things flashed through Su Ran's mind in an instant, and she intuitively felt that this ring was unusual.

"Who sent it?" Su Ran looked anxiously at the staff member who had just sent it over.

The staff member was stunned for a moment, and turned back to look at the place where the person who had asked her to deliver the things had been, but the person was no longer there.

"What about people?"

The staff looked around quickly but still couldn't see the man.

"The finals continue. Keep a low profile and seal off the scene. Check the surveillance footage and find the person!"

Su Ran gave the order promptly.
