He Is Warmer Than Time

Chapter 56: Marry A Woman For Her Virtue And Not For Her Looks

Song Ran almost wanted to blow up!

She watched as the two people before her appeared to have come to some sort of consensual agreement before furtively separating.

Song Ran’s heart thumped as she headed out hurriedly.

As soon as she opened the door to her father’s bedroom, Shen Mengfang was already standing outside. She had walked back quickly out of fear someone would discover the secret between her and Wen Huihui.

At that moment, Song Ran began to feel resigned. Dad, why do you have such a huge bedroom that now I have no time to escape?

She looked uneasy, afraid that Shen Mengfeng might spot something amiss.

Shen Mengfang looked even more flustered and uncomfortable. With her high-pitched voice, she asked Song Ran, “What are you doing here?”

Song Ran calmed herself down as she pursed her lips. “Nannan is missing. I searched everywhere, except for my dad’s room.”

Nannan was Song Ran’s cat.

Shen Mengfang looked wary. “Nannan won’t come into this room. Don’t you run in without any permission in the future.”

Song Ran felt her heart in her throat. She did not want Shen Mengfang and Wen Huihui to find out what she was doing. Hence, she was going to feign ignorance.

However, meows were heard behind Song Ran. She turned back and saw Nannan walking on the window ledge behind the bed. She heaved a sigh of relief. Nannan is such a smart cat. Well done. She shall reward the cat with fishbone tonight.

Song Ran lifted her eyebrows. “Look. Who said that Nannan won’t come into this room? Besides, what do you mean by ‘without permission’? This is my dad’s room. Why can’t I come in? Are you doing something immoral?”

Shen Mengfang raised her arm while Song Ran peered at her. “Why? Are you going to hit me out of desperation? Why did you panic? Are you having an affair? Let me check if you’re hiding a man over here.”

Shen Mengfang flustered. Out of frustration, she lowered her hand. She did not dare to slap Song Ran in this house. If she dares to lay a finger on Song Ran, this lass will skin her alive, and she doubted if even Song Guoqing could save her.

Song Ran deliberately strutted around the room and successfully provoked Shen Mengfang. Song Ran left the room triumphantly with Nannan in her arms after Shen Mengfang’s rage roared to life. Before she left, she even lifted her chin and said to her, “This is my home. The Song family’s. I can go wherever I want. You’re not fit to order me around. Understand?”

Song Ran snorted as she hummed a chirpy song and left freely.

As soon as Song Ran left, Shen Mengfang slammed the door closed and screamed. “Grrr...”

Then she lowered her voice and said, “One day, I’ll make sure this place doesn’t belong to the Song’s. Song Ran, you bitch! Just you wait! One day, I’ll drive you out of the house and trample you under my feet so that you’ll no longer dare to throw your weight around!”

Back at the second research institute in Songshan County, Gu Jinghang came back from the scientific research block. Due to the hot weather, his shirt was wet. He decided to go back to his dormitory, take a bath, and change out of his clothes before heading to the cafeteria to have his meal.

When he went back to his dormitory, his door was ajar.

What’s going on?

He stood at the door and heard the sound of running water coming from the inside. He was puzzled and surprised.

Gu Jinghang opened the door carefully. Wen Huihui was sitting there with her hair tied back. Before her was a large basin and she was washing his clothes in it.

Gu Jinghang instinctively frowned and remained expressionless. With mild disgust in his voice, he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Wen Huihui looked up and threw him a smile. “Oh, Jing... I mean Team Leader Gu. You’re back!”
