Step In Dangerous Love

　　Wasn"t she fetching things from the company? Why was she with Gu Shenxing?

　　Gu Wuyang was confused inside but didn"t say it out. Instead he opened the car door first， replaced Gu Shenxing"s coat with his own coat and carried her out carefully.

　　"I met her outside the hospital. Maybe she was so tired that she fell asleep" Gu Shenxing explained pushing his gla.s.ses up.

　　Gu Wuyang went past Gu Shenxing with Tang Anran in his arms. Hearing this, he stopped and turned around, then said thank you to him.

　　After that, Gu Wuyang kept on walking into the house. When he just started walking, Gu Shenxing spoke again.

　　"Wuyang, I know you are not satisfied with this marriage, but as a husband, no matter how badly you hate her, you should be at her side at times like this. This is your duty as a husband." Gu Shenxing stared at Gu Wuyang"s back and spoke with a touch of criticism, "When I met her she didn"t look well."

　　Although Gu Shenxing was Gu Wuyang"s elder brother, he seldom spoke to Wuyang like that. This may even be the first time.

　　He didn"t know why Tang Anran went to the hospital, but since he had said what was needed to be said, it would be better to just leave the rest for Gu Wuyang himself.

　　"I"m leaving." Speaking this, Gu Shenxing opened the car door and sat in the driver"s seat, then pulled the car out of the villa within short time.

　　Gu Wuyang stood in the yard and looked at the sleeping Tang Anran in his arms, his eye lids dropping.

　　Tang Anran told him she was going to the company to fetch something, but ended up outside the hospital. Was this just a coincidence or was she lying to him?

　　Gu Wuyang couldn"t figure it out right then and there, but he didn"t want to wake Tang Anran up, so he decided to wait until she woke up.

　　Unfortunately，he couldn"t see Tang Anran wake up because he was suddenly a.s.signed to a mission. He had to cancel the vacation and return to the military.

　　Tang Anran slept for a long time. When she woke up the sky out there was already dark.

　　She put her hands against the bed to support herself up and looked at the clock at the table side. It was already 10:00 pm.

　　How did she fall asleep? And how did she return to her room from Gu Shenxing"s car?

　　Tang Anran was filled with confusion but couldn"t get the answer.

　　Rubbing her dizzy head, Tang Anran decided to set these aside. She got out of the bed and poured herself a gla.s.s of water, then habitually pulled out her phone to see if there was any unanswered call.

　　Upon turning on her phone, she saw the message sent by Gu Wuyang a few hours ago.

　　The message said he had returned to the military due to a sudden mission and couldn"t come back for a long time. He also said that he had had the procedure for Xiaohang arranged so Tang Anran didn"t need to worry.

　　In the message, Gu Wuyang didn"t mention that Tang Anran showed up at the hospital.

　　He had already contemplated it. This was Tang Anran"s private business. If she wanted to tell him, she would do it herself. If not, she wouldn"t tell him anyway even if he asked. Therefore, he chose not to ask.

　　He just pretended that he didn"t know and waited for the day when she was ready to tell him.

　　Seeing Gu Wuyang"s message, Tang Anran couldn"t help but think of the diagnosis certificate she got today.

　　She avoided Gu Wuyang before because she was worried that she would be infected with that disease. Now the diagnosis told her she was healthy, without any problem.

　　Did this mean she could be with Gu Wuyang?

　　After all she already made clear of her feelings for Gu Wuyang. It was just this worry that thwarted her from giving in to her feelings.

　　But after a failed marriage and seeing her husband cheating on her, could she really believe in love again?

　　Holding the phone in hand, Tang Anran was at a loss.

　　At last, after a long time of consideration, Tang Anran decided to give herself a chance to try again, but all of these should wait until her revenge succeeded.

　　After all, taking revenge on the Li family was extremely dangerous. If it should fail, she may not be able to come back.

　　It was better never having it than losing it.

　　So she planned to confess to Gu Wuyang after her vengeance. If he could accept it, she would naturally be with him. If not, she could just leave without hesitation.

　　Making clear of these, Tang Anran sighed in relief and replied "protect yourself", then went to take a shower.

　　Maybe it was because she was too tired these days, though she was just awake for a few hours, she fell asleep soon after the shower.

　　Since she only asked for one day off, the next morning she woke up as soon as the clock alarm rang.

　　At this hour of the day, Xiaohang was still asleep. Before going out Tang Anran told Xu Xiaorong several times to take good care of Xiaohang. Then she went to the company rea.s.sured.

　　The news went viral soon after Fang Jiayi was arrested.

　　Her parents were ready to sell their house to bail Fang Jiayi out. But her crime was so grave that there was no chance to bail her out. The verdict was even read the next day she got arrested.

　　She was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. It was not grave enough for death sentence, but being put behind bars for fifteen years would ruin her life.

　　Knowing Fang Jiayi"s punishment, Tang Anran had no sympathy for her because she brought all this to herself.

　　You made mistakes, you got punished.

　　Before going to the company, Tang Anran was minding w.a.n.g Xudong"s att.i.tude and words the day before yesterday. But when she arrived at the company it seemed that w.a.n.g Xudong had forgotten what happened.

　　For the whole day, he was keeping an appropriate distance from Tang Anran, without doing anything that may cause misunderstandings or saying anything ambiguous, just like a superior"s att.i.tude towards his subordinates.

　　Seeing w.a.n.g Xudong behave like that, Tang Anran quietly sighed in relief and paid no more attention to him.

　　Gu Wuyang"s subordinates worked very efficiently. When Tang Anran was off the clock in the afternoon, the procedures for adopting Xiaohang were already done. Now all it needed to be done was the signature of Xiaohang.

　　Upon getting out of the car, Tang Anran took the files and hurried to get Xiaohang to sign his name, only to find the door to his room locked.

　　"Xiaohang, are you in there?" Tang Anran patted the door, frowning and calling Xiaohang"s name.

　　But she screamed several time to no avail. There was no response inside the room. But for noticing that the door was locked from inside, she would possibly thought that n.o.body was in the room

　　Anxiety began to grow in Tang Anran"s mind. Not having much contact with Xiaohang, she knew he was not a wayward child though. There must be a reason for this abnormal behavior.

　　Thinking of this, Tang Anran called Xu Xiaorong and opened the door with the back-up key.

　　The thick curtain was seamlessly sealed and the lights were out. It was pitch black in the room.

　　Tang Anran turned on the light and saw the scrawny Xiaohang huddling in bed and he covered himself with the quilt.

　　Tang Anran went to the bedside and sat down, then patted on Xiaohang"s back through the quilt. She gently asked, "What"s the matter, Xiaohang? Is anything wrong?"

　　Hearing her voice, Xiaohang"s body turned stiff but still didn"t answer.

　　Replied with silence, she didn"t keep on asking. Instead, she shook the files in her hand, "I have a file that needs you to sign. Are you willing to help me?"

　　This time, Xiaohang holed up in the quilt and stayed silent for a while, and then slowly came out of there.

　　Under the light, the bruises and scratches before were still left on Xiaohang"s white face. His eyes were red and his lips were tightly stuck together. He looked at Tang Anran with no sound.

　　Seeing Xiaohang restraining his desire to cry, Tang Anran instantly knew he must be maltreated today.

　　She was mad inside but didn"t want to affect Xiaohang with such negative emotions.

　　"Xiaohang, just sign here." Tang Anran slightly raised her lips and tried to contain her indignation, pointing at the blank for the signature on the file with her slim finger.

　　Although Xiaohang was just five years old, he was already able to recognize some words.

　　He was just about to take the pen from Tang Anran"s hand when he saw the word ‘adoption"on the file and suddenly stopped.

　　"I…… I don"t want to sign…… " Xiaohang dropped the pen, and muttered with his head low, just as expected.

　　Tang Anran raised her hand and rubbed Xiaohang"s head, "Could you tell me why you don"t want to sign?"

　　Hearing the question, Xiaohang closed his mouth and shook his head, showing no intention to answer nor to sign.

　　Tang Anran knew how stubborn Xiaohang was. She could get nothing out of him unless he was willing to talk, so she didn"t force him. After another few words, she left the room with Xu Xiaorong.

　　"What happened to Xiaohang today?" Tang Anran closed the door and asked Xu Xiaorong with a poker face.

　　"Everything was still fine when he had breakfast in the morning. In the afternoon I went out to buy something. When I came back, he had already locked himself in the room. At first I thought he was having a nap so I left him alone, but he hasn"t come out ever since."

　　Hearing Xu Xiaorong"s words, Tang Anran looked angrier. Someone must have said something to Xiaohang and touched a raw nerve, making him behave like that.

　　"In ten minutes, I need to see everyone in the parlor." Tang Anran ordered curtly and went to change her clothes in her room.

　　When she got changed and went downstairs, dozens of people were already standing in the large parlor, including servants, gardeners and securities.

　　"Is everyone here?" Tang Anran sat on the sofa, took a sip of the tea and asked the Xu Xiaorong beside her.

　　Xu Xiaorong nodded,"Everyone"s here, my lady. "

　　Getting a positive answer, Tang Anran nodded and took another sip of the tea. Her eyes strolled over everyone present, without a word.

　　No one knew what Tang Anran rounded them up here for. They could do nothing but keep their heads down silently, waiting for her to speak.

　　After a long silence, Tang Anran strongly put her cup on the tea table out of the blue, making a loud "bang" and scaring a tremble out of everyone. Now they kept their heads lower.
