Black Card?
Lin Ran knew about that card, it was in the storage cabinet of the villa's walk-in closet, but he had never used it.
Inside, there were also numerous documents, including luxury cars, property, gold bars, and bank cards.
A wife who is both rich and beautiful, and willing to spend on you—where can you find such a great wife?
Was I possessed in my previous life? That’s why I couldn’t see how great my wife was?
I really need to die!
"No! I want to earn my own money to buy."
Feeling Luo Yao's face gradually cooling down, Lin Ran reached out and cupped her face.
"Luo Yao, look at me. I am your man, and this family can't only have you putting in efforts. I need to earn money too."
"If it's money for myself, I’ll spend it without hesitation. Spending my wife's money isn’t embarrassing."
"But for you, I want to earn it myself."
Only after saying this did Luo Yao regain her composure.
"Alright, I got it. From now on, you’re not allowed to call my name!"
"Then what should I call you? Wife? Yao Yao? My dear little sweetheart?"
"Whatever you want."
"Then I’ll switch it up. As long as it’s you, I’ll keep calling you whatever."
In fact, Luo Yao wanted to tell Lin Ran that he didn’t need to work so hard, because her wealth was so vast that even if he started a business, it would last him several lifetimes.
But she didn’t want to dampen his spirit, so she suppressed her thoughts.
If Lin Ran wanted to earn money, then let him. Perhaps it was just a matter of the little pride men had.
Lin Ran was now accepting and even trying to spend her money, which meant he might be gradually accepting her. That was progress.
Running her fingers over the relatively inexpensive bracelet on her wrist, Luo Yao felt that this was what happiness was.
Lin Ran: "Luo Yao, can I post on WeChat Moments?"
Luo Yao frowned, and Lin Ran cursed himself for being foolish.
"Yao Yao! Wife! Baby! Can I post on WeChat Moments?"
Luo Yao nodded. "Of course, A Ran! You can do whatever you want!"
Lin Ran snapped a photo of both hands holding their marriage certificate and posted it on his Moments with the caption:
【Taken. Loving my wife!】
This post immediately caused a huge stir.
First were his classmates, then his advisor, many of his former coworkers from part-time jobs, and his best friend Wu Zhishang.
All the comments were just a series of question marks:【???】
Only Wu Zhishang asked: 【Is this with Liu Ruxue?】
As for Liu Ruxue and the Lin family, since they had been blocked, they couldn’t see Lin Ran’s post.
Soon after, Wu Zhishang called, and as soon as the call connected, he started asking:
"Dude! What’s going on? Did you and Liu Ruxue get married?"
Lin Ran replied, "No, not Liu Ruxue. I’m completely over her."
"Then who is it? Bro, we can’t just marry anyone because we couldn’t get Liu Ruxue!"
"It’s not just anyone—it’s true love. She’s beautiful, sweet-voiced, and guess what? She’s a little rich girl!"
Wu Zhishang was stunned.
After a long silence, he blurted out, "Holy sh*t! Your momxxxxxxx!!!"
Lin Ran: "Alright! Don’t be jealous. We’ll talk in person tomorrow!"
Wu Zhishang: "Your momxxxxxxx!!!"
Lin Ran: "Tomorrow at the dorm, I’ll take you on a big mission!"
Wu Zhishang: "Your momxxxxxxx!!!"
Lin Ran: "I’ll give you my gaming account!"
Wu Zhishang: "Alright, brother!"
That night, Lin Ran’s mark became even more distinct.
Seeing the clear tooth marks on his shoulder, Luo Yao furrowed her beautiful brows.
"This mark?"
"I don’t want to use scar cream. This is something Yao Yao left for me. I want to keep it here forever."
"I want to tell the world that I belong to you."
Luo Yao lifted her eyes to gaze at Lin Ran, her eyes sparkling like stars. "Is that what you think?"
Lin Ran nodded. "Only this way can I feel your presence at all times..."
Lin Ran smirked internally. Talking to you in your own tone, would that leave you speechless?
The next day, Lin Ran felt the mark had become even more profound.
Was this girl part dog or part wolf?
At breakfast, Lin Ran suddenly looked up at the wall clock and smiled. This action made Uncle Fu, the butler, panic inwardly.
Lin Ran didn’t say anything and continued eating breakfast, then casually mentioned,
"Uncle Fu, you don’t need to follow me when I go out. I’m not used to it."
Just as Uncle Fu was about to speak, Lin ran added,
"You can ask Luo Yao if you want."
"Don’t worry, I won’t run away again."
Uncle Fu shook his head and went to call Luo Yao.
After a while, he came back.
"The lady said it’s fine."
Lin Ran didn’t mind being monitored by Luo Yao, but considering he would still be attending school in the future, having bodyguards following him everywhere would be too conspicuous.
After breakfast, Lin Ran drove out of the manor in a Koenigsegg, and through the rearview mirror, he noticed a business van following at a distance.
This confirmed his guess—telling Uncle Fu not to follow was just a superficial gesture.
Now he had gained significant freedom, able to leave the manor at will.
Of course, he understood that no matter where he went, someone would always be watching him—this was unavoidable.
After all, Luo Yao’s love for him came with a strong possessive streak, but he didn’t mind this feeling.
The reason he disliked it before was because he didn’t like Luo Yao’s dominance.
But now that he had decided to accept and love Luo Yao, he naturally had to accept her flaws.
Including that obsessive need to possess him.
This was fine as long as it wasn’t too conspicuous, and hidden surveillance was acceptable.
This would also help ease Luo Yao’s mind, and Lin Ran didn’t object nor planned to expose it.
At that moment, Luo Yao, who had already arrived at her office, was staring blankly at her phone screen.
She had just seen Lin Ran’s smile towards the camera and felt a chill run through her.
But seeing that Lin Ran seemed to have noticed nothing, she calmed down a bit.
Capital University, with the semester not yet starting, many students were still staying in the dorms, including Lin Ran’s best friend Wu Zhishang.
Lin Ran parked his car in the outdoor parking lot on the school grounds and returned to his former dorm, where he found his buddy Wu Zhishang.
In his previous life, after learning about Lin Ran’s death, the one who cried the hardest was this friend, sobbing as if he were a grandson at his grandfather’s funeral.
Often, only death could reveal who genuinely cared about you.
For this reason alone, Lin Ran was determined to secure his prosperity and save him, ensuring he wouldn’t meet the same fate as before.
Lin Ran clearly remembered that Wu Zhishang was soon to face a series of misfortunes.
The first was that the chairman of his father’s company absconded with funds, and as a manager, Wu’s Father was used as a scapegoat, ending up in jail.
Wu’s Mother struggled to keep the shattered family together, her hair turning white in just one year.
Due to the sudden family crisis, Wu Zhishang was also hurt by a heartless woman, descending into a state of depression.
All this happened while Lin Ran was preoccupied with his own drama of fleeing and being pursued by Luo Yao, unable to help his best friend.
