Chapter 887 - 845: Betrayal? Escape 1
With a wry smile, Ran Xiangsi lowered her head and kissed their foreheads, then tucked them in snugly, before turning off the lights and stepping out.
Goodnight, my darlings.
After both children had fallen asleep, Ran Xiangsi took a deep breath and first went to the dressing room to change into a black outfit.
Black leather jacket, black leather pants.
And a black silenced pistol.
Expertly tucked at her waist.
In that instant she put on the clothes, the gentle gaze was replaced by a sharp look!
The real test began from that moment!
Taking a deep breath, Ran Xiangsi then headed to Xing Chen’s office.
She easily found a list of political figures from various countries.
White cover, very thin, only about a dozen pages, yet densely packed with names.
She knew that Xing Chen’s return to A City this time was also for an extremely important matter.
That was to contact every person on this list, one by one.
As for the content of the contacts, Ran Xiangsi wasn’t interested in knowing.
And now, the first condition of her cooperation with Fu Jingxuan was to obtain this list.
It was precisely for this list that she didn’t go with Xing Chen to that welcome party today.
She was very clear that if she took this list tonight, it would mean she personally pushed Xing Chen away.
This would become a huge scar in their marriage, one that might never heal.
But...
After much contemplation, Ran Xiangsi still didn’t change her mind.
Clutching the list tightly in her hand, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and made the final decision.
I’m sorry, Xing Chen.
Turning around, just about to leave, she was suddenly stunned in the darkness when she saw a tall figure.
Ran Xiangsi’s heart tightened in an instant!
She didn’t even need to see the person’s face; just from the way he leaned against the doorframe, with his right hand slightly in the pocket of his suit pants, she could tell it was Xing Chen.
She didn’t know when he started standing there. Was it when she was hesitating?
She sighed; after all, she had been discovered.
An unavoidable confrontation.
She had thought he would come back after she left...
"No intention to explain?" His tone rose slightly, clearly questioning her.
"..." Ran Xiangsi was silent for a long time, then could only grit her teeth and distance herself with cold words, "As you can see."
Hearing these distant words, Xing Chen’s heart sank slowly.
He suddenly stepped toward her, stopping just half a step away.
Ran Xiangsi thought he would snatch the list from her hand, or that he would erupt in anger, or question her...
Unfortunately, he did none of that; he merely lowered his head, resting his forehead against hers.
His hand gently rested on her arm, as it always had.
"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe you would betray me."
He was so close to her, yet his words were so cold.
No one could know Xing Chen’s feelings at that moment.
Worried she might be ill or troubled, he sped back, not knowing how many times he broke the speed limit!
Finally managing to return home, what awaited him was his wife’s betrayal.
She had taken that extremely important list; he saw it.
Ran Xiangsi was almost immobilized there.
She could never resist his gentleness...
"Take good care of the children." She choked out a sentence and slowly moved her hand to her waist.
Xing Chen didn’t know what she wanted the list for, but if she desired it, he would give it to her...
