Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 109 Xue Juan is Kidnapped

Xue Juan takes a bath and it smells fragrant all over her. The steaks in the hotel are delicious. She is intoxicated by the five-star treatment. Xue Juan feels that she should live such a life. She tells herself not to hurry and take it slowly.

“Now I’m standing beside him. It is really...” Xue Juan touches her face and imagines leaning against Lang Ruoxian’s arms.

The mobile phone rings suddenly, stopping her thoughts. Xue Juan sees the caller ID and answers it quickly. “Is that Assistant Shu speaking?”

Shu Sheng asks her to go downstairs to pick up Lang Ruoxian.

“Young Master has drunk too much and feels uncomfortable. I am occupied and can’t get away, so he himself goes back to the hotel first. You take him back to his room, and remember to lock the door.”

Xue Juan hangs up and runs downstairs to the hall. When she arrives, Lang Ruoxian has not come back. Looking around at the door of the hotel for a while, she sees the car slowly stop, and Lang Ruoxian pushes open the door and gets out of the car by himself.

“Mr. Lang!” Xue Juan is secretly pleased and stretches out her hand to help him.

But Lang Ruoxian avoids her hand and rubs his eyebrows. “The room card is in my pocket. Take it out.”

“Oh! All right.” Xue Juan is confounded for a second and reacts immediately.

She puts her hand into Lang Ruoxian’s suit pocket and finds something ice-cold besides the room card. She takes out both of them for some reason. At first glance, it is Lang Ruoxian’s collar clip.

“Mr. Lang, may I help you?” Xue Juan secretly slips the collar clip into her pocket and holds the room card in her hand.

Lang Ruoxian waves his hand. “No, let’s go.”

Arriving at the room, Xue Juan makes a cup of tea for Lang Ruoxian and puts it on the table. “Mr. Lang, please go to bed early. I’ll leave.”

“We don’t have to get up early tomorrow morning. We will fly in the afternoon and have dinner at the restaurant at noon.” Lang Ruoxian sips the tea and says, “You can have free time.”

Xue Juan nods. “I see. Good night.”

She walks out of the room with a smile. If it were another woman, she would think this is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The man is drunk, and she can take advantage of a favorable trend. After waking up, even if the man does not admit it, she can still reap benefits.

But this is not what Xue Juan wants. She is not sure to be like Yan Hua, who had a baby with the man of Lang Family after a one-night stand. So she can only plan slowly and wait for the chance to stand beside Lang Ruoxian openly.

“But...” She enters her room and touches the collar clip in her pocket. She takes it out and looks at it like a treasure. “Yan Hua is the biggest stumbling block.”

Even if it is impossible for Yan Hua to have results with Lang Ruoxian because of her identity. But as long as she and Lang Ruoxian love each other, Lang Ruoxian cannot like Xue Juan. Xue Juan suddenly laughs and puts away the collar clip, thinking...

This is a good chance!

Shortly after Lang Ruoxian returns, Yan Hua receives a phone call from Huang Rong, which asks her out to dinner.

“Fortunately you’ve reminded me.” Hanging up the phone, Huang Rong tells Xue Juan beside her, “The company has been busy recently. I didn’t call her when Gungun was hurt.”

Xue Juan idly looks over the magazine. “Yes, Gungun was pinched and injured before. Mr. Lang was very angry. I thought you had already visited him!”

“You know that I will forget everything when I get busy.” Huang Rong says with a smile, “Remember to remind me next time. Yan Hua have saved me for several times, and I will recognize this friend for the rest of my life.”

Xue Juan smiles. “Therefore, it is important to keep in touch. I will remind you later.”

On the appointed day, Yan Hua takes Gungun to Fei Ying’s house.

“It is strange. Why don’t you take him with you?” Fei Ying curiously asks. Gungun is a very good boy. Wherever he is taken to, he will not make trouble.

Yan Hua certainly cannot say that Xue Juan will definitely go to today’s dinner. Maybe she arranges it. In case that woman can’t control her emotions and frightens Gungun again...

“Don’t take him. It’s so hot outside and he will take a nap at noon.”

Fei Ying doesn’t think much and accompanies her out of the door. Fei Ying remembers to remind her, “By the way, you insinuate to ask Huang Rong and see what kind of person on earth Xue Juan is.”

“I will.” Yan Hua waves and gets into the car.

Huang Rong chooses a small restaurant of innovative Cantonese cuisine. The decoration is exquisite and elegant. Even the tableware is amazing.

“What else do you want to add?” Huang Rong hands the menu to Yan Hua.

Yan Hua draws back her sight. Xue Juan really comes...

“That’s enough. There are only three of us. We can’t eat that much.”

“Okay, that’s it!”

When the waiter leaves, Huang Rong asks about Gungun. Yan Hua says that he is all right. Xue Juan occasionally interjects. The three seem to have a pleasant chat. During the meal, Huang Rong goes to the bathroom.

“By the way, Yan Hua!” Xue Juan wipes her mouth and flips through her handbag.

Here comes... Yan Hua thinks, concentrating.

“Mr. Lang and I were on a business trip several days ago. He dropped his collar clip. I’ve been putting file in order in the office downstairs these days, and I can’t find any chance to give it back to Mr. Lang. I just meet you today, so I’ll give it to you.”

Yan Hua thinks about what Lang Ruoxian told her before.

“Xue Juan took my collar clip. I guess she will definitely find a chance to give it to you.”

Well, Xue Juan, please start your performance!

Yan Hua takes the collar clip and says, “Okay, I’ll give it to him later.”

Haha... Let me hear how you answer.

“...” Xue Juan does stare blankly.

If she didn’t know Yan Hua and Lang Ruoxian liked each other, she should believe that this woman has nothing to do with Lang Ruoxian. Why is her reaction like that? Shouldn’t she ask me why Lang Ruoxian’s collar clip is with me?

“Mr. Lang was drunk that night...” Xue Juan takes a glance and shuts up immediately when she sees Huang Rong coming back.

Yan Hua eyes flash in surprise. She wants to say something, but when she sees Huang Rong has sat down, she silently lowers her head to pick up vegetables with chopsticks.

So she is angry? Xue Juan holds back her smile. Quickly go back to question Mr. Lang and quarrel with him. In this way, shall I have a chance...

“Let’s get together more in the future!” When the meal is over, Huang Rong takes Yan Hua’s hand and says, “If you have anything, you must speak to me. I am of some help.”

No matter what kind of person Xue Juan is, Yan Hua has a good impression of Huang Rong. The girl is worth making friends with.

“Well, call me when you are convenient. You know I am not busy.”

When saying goodbye, Xue Juan also intentionally or unintentionally dodges Yan Hua’s sight, with a guilty look. Yan Hua feels it so funny. But on the surface she still has to pretend to be anxious.

As soon as Lang Ruoxian comes back in the evening, Yan Hua throws the collar clip on him.

“What’s the matter? What’s this?” The man picks up the collar clip and throws it directly into the garbage can. He tries to hug Yan Hua, smiling.

Yan Hua pushes him away. “Brother-in-law, behave yourself.”

“Haha!” Lang Ruoxian pinches her nose. “Didn’t I tell you that I allowed her to take it on purpose. Why are you still jealous?”

“I’m not.” Yan Hua says grumpily, “I just feel it disgusting.”

She clearly knows that Xue Juan did it, but she has to watch Xue Juan act. Yan Hua finds that she likes getting straight to the point when dealing with things, and circuitous tactics will make her very uncomfortable.

“It seems that she can really keep her equanimity.” When Lang Ruoxian sees Yan Hua’s reaction, he knows that Xue Juan is not stupid.

“Since you don’t like it so much, let’s finish it quickly.” Lang Ruoxian smiles faintly. “There are many ways to let her can’t hide herself.”

Yan Hua rolls her eyes at him. “Then why didn’t you use such ways earlier?”

I was afraid to scare you...

Lang Ruoxian thinks to himself that Yan Hua hasn’t known the other side of him so far, cruel and cold-blooded...

He is afraid Yan Hua cannot accept himself like that.

“Leave it to me.” Lang Ruoxian takes the opportunity to kiss her.

Yan Hua pretends to hit him. Lang Ruoxian makes a gesture to her. “Hush, there are still house maids downstairs. They will hear us.”

“Then go back to your room quickly!” Yan Hua pushes him out.

Lang Ruoxian smiles outside the door and asks her in a low voice, “Do you like me a little bit more, Hua?”

It is quiet outside. Yan Hua leans against the door, her heart thumping.

Does she like him? Yes, she does.

“How annoying...” Touching her red face, Yan Hua plunges into the quilt.

Xue Juan is kidnapped. When she comes out of the company after work, she is crammed into a car at the intersection. It happens so suddenly that when she reacts, her eyes are covered and a fierce voice says in her ear.

“Behave yourself if you don’t want to suffer. Don’t make any noise or I’ll kill you now.”

Xue Juan is very scared and her body is shaking all the time. She doesn’t know why she will be the target of kidnapping. The car seems to have been driving for a long time. She has been thinking about the kidnappers’ purpose, and even guesses whether Yan Hua wants to kill her because of the collar clip.

“Come out.” Finally the car arrives at the place. Xue Juan is pushed to walk in a room. She can feel her feet onto the wood floor, and then someone gives her a hard push. She falls to the ground and the blindfold is removed.

“Have you got the wrong target?” Xue Juan sees that there are three men.

She rubs her sore knee. “I don’t have any money. I’m just a clerk.”

“Yes, you are Lang Ruoxian’s personal assistant. You say... He is a man who has never been close to women, but he suddenly has a personal assistant. Why?” One of the men who is with whiskers looks at her with a smile.

“Because... Because I do well at work. What’s strange about that?” Xue Juan’s eyes flash. Do they target at Lang Ruoxian?

Another short man shouts at the top of his voice, “Stop pretending. You are Lang Ruoxian’s woman. Many people in your company say so.”

“What exactly do you want?” Xue Juan doesn’t admit or deny it. She wants to find out the purpose of the kidnappers first.

The man with whiskers takes out a dagger and waves it. “Lang Ruoxian made me bankrupt. I have nothing now, and my wife and children have run away with other people. You are Lang Ruoxian’s woman. Do you think he should die?”

“It is against the law for you to do so. You can sit down and talk about any problems. You can call President Lang and he will definitely give you an explanation.”

The man with whiskers laughs twice. “I don’t need him to explain, I just want to see him in misery! You say... If I disfigure your face, cut off your fingers and make a video for him, will he be mad?”

The short man and another fat man have already started to set up a video camera. The man with whiskers comes up to Xue Juan and pinches her face.

“Don’t move. We try to be successful in one shot!”

Xue Juan is struggling and trying to say something, the man with whiskers takes away her gag. “What do you want to say?”

“I am not the person he likes. The person Lang Ruoxian likes is his sister-in-law, Yan Hua!”
