Luo Wei stood by her side and led Bai Ran into the house.

“Miss Bai, this way, please.”

Bai Ran nodded her head and followed right behind Luo Wei.

It was late in the night now so Bai Ran could not see clearly how huge the manor really was. But, when she was in the car earlier on, she noticed that they had to drive for more than ten minutes to get around the tall fence surrounding the property into the manor.

The entrance of the manor was filled with greenery in every direction. As she walked deeper into the manor, she identified various outdoor areas: a lawn, flowerbeds, and even a forest!

“Oh my god!

“Exactly how big is this manor?”

The further into the manor Bai Ran walked, the more luxurious the landscape became, and the more she felt her scalp prickle with anxiety!

“Have I just…offended a really formidable person?”

Years ago, Bai Ran had heard about Quan Rui’s existence from the Jiang Family through the excited discussions of the Jiang Sisters.

After all, he was supposed to have an arranged marriage with Jiang Bangyuan.

Thus, Bai Ran had limited and therefore superficial knowledge of Quan Rui, such as the fact that he was rich, that he was the president of the Universal Group, and that he was basically the crown prince of the Quan Family. What that really meant didn’t matter much to her then.

“It seems like…I should rethink how I see the world right now.

“He doesn’t seem to be merely filthy rich…

“Rather than just being filthy rich, he must also be a rather influential man in order to obtain and possess such a huge plot of land in the downtown area of Sanjiang City for his own private residence.

“But Quan Rui is probably not just a man with the right connections and some influence since he can build such an ostentatious and unnecessary manor in this place, right?”

Suddenly, Bai Ran felt the onset of a terrible headache and reached out her hands to rub her temples.

She followed Luo Wei into the manor’s main building. Luo Wei had arranged for her to use the bathroom immediately. There was a maid who stood by the bathroom with a fresh set of clothes for Bai Ran.

“Miss Bai was caught in the downpour earlier on. The Young Master’s instructions were to take a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes. He will come over here to see you later.”

As Luo Wei spoke, he pointed at the clothes that the maid held in her hands.

In public, Luo Wei and George were to address Quan Rui as “Boss” but when they were in the manor or if it was within a private setting, they were allowed to be less formal and could address him as “Young Master” instead.

Luo Wei’s instructions to her along with the extravagant appearance of the bathroom alarmed Bai Ran and made her suspicious about his intentions. She instinctively shook her head. “It’s alright. I’m fine. I want to meet the Young Master now.”

She did not want to remain in this place for long. She only wanted to retrieve what was rightfully hers.

After she retrieved the ring, she would leave. Immediately.

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment. He had not expected that Bai Ran would refuse to follow Quan Rui’s instruction so decisively.

“Miss Bai, the Young Master is also taking a shower and changing his clothes at this moment. You will have to wait for a while.”

“In that case, I’ll wait for him in the living room.” Without waiting for his approval, Bai Ran turned and walked over to the sofa by the side.

She was, indeed, totally drenched and her dress was dripping wet with mud smeared all over. If she did not take a hot shower quickly, she would most likely catch the flu.

However, this was an unfamiliar environment for her, a foreign place. She would not be able to shower with ease here.

It would be better for her to wait in her current state until Quan Rui could see her.

Luo Wei stood by her side, at a total loss about what to do with someone as obstinate and unmoved as she was. The only thing he could think of was to instruct the maids to tell the kitchen staff to prepare some ginger soup.

Twenty minutes later, Quan Rui finally finished taking his hot bath. He headed downstairs after he had finished changing his clothes.

When Bai Ran heard the sound of footsteps, she looked up rather impatiently in the direction of the sound.

The area between the first and second floors of this hall was designed to look exactly like a maisonette.

A flight of winding stairs curled on one side of the living room and led upwards to the second floor.

From where Bai Ran was seated, she could easily see Quan Rui descending the stairs. He was wrapped in a white bathrobe as he climbed down the spiral staircase towards her with an unconsciously regal posture.
