Chapter 157: Their Past (1)
When Yao Ran heard Yao Yuechuan's words, she said, "Let me hear what you have to say first."
After she said that, Yao Yuechuan glanced at Long Yu and said, "Can he-"
Before he could finish his words, Yao Ran interrupted him, "He will stay. No matter what you want to tell me, he can listen."
When they heard this, Long Yu and Yao Yuechuan had different expressions. Long Yu felt happy and raised his chin slightly. That proud look on his face made Yao Yuechuan's fists itchy.
Yao Yuechuan rolled his eyes at Long Yu and snorted. However, when he turned to look at Yao Ran, he showed a sweet smile like an obedient puppy.
"Miss Yao, I heard from Assistant He that you took everything from Chairman Yao's safe. Inside the small safe were a bunch of documents about Yao Security Company and a list of people working."
"If you still have those documents, you can take a look at them. It won't be too late for us to talk after you check them out for yourself."
Hearing this, Yao Ran suddenly remembered the documents she found in her grandfather's safe. She was busy stocking up at the time and had no time to look at them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After the natural disasters struck the world, she was busy surviving and getting revenge on Lan Guanghui and his family, and she forgot about the documents. After Yao Yuechuan mentioned them, she finally remembered.
When the two of them were talking, Long Yu just stood there and listened to their conversation. Seeing Yao Ran's expression change slightly, he knew that what Yao Yuechuan said might be true.
He held Yao Ran's hand, pulled her aside, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have the documents he mentioned just now with you?"
After confirming his guess about Long Yu's identity as a reborn person, Yao Ran felt closer to him, and her wariness against him was lessened. In addition to her feelings for him, she subconsciously trusted him.
Yao Ran looked at Long Yu, nodded, and whispered, "I do have those documents, but I haven't read them."
Long Yu said, "Take a look first. Let Yao Yuechuan stay here for the time being. When you figure out the truth of what he said, you can come back and talk to him again."
Yao Ran thought the same as him and nodded, "Alright."
The two of them then left without saying anything to Yao Yuechuan.
Seeing this, Yao Yuechuan quickly shouted to them, "Miss Yao, please don't forget to bring some food and water, or I will starve to death."
Hearing this, Yao Ran and Long Yu didn't respond and locked the door. Yao Yuechuan sighed and lay back on the cold floor.
He stared at the dirty ceiling and muttered, "Grandpa, I will fulfill my promise. I will not let go of anyone who takes away your hard work and wants to kill your granddaughter. Since they dared to lie to me, they should bear the consequences."
Back on the 20th floor, Yao Ran held Long Yu's wrist and dragged him to her apartment. As soon as the door closed, she pushed him against it and trapped him between her arms.
Long Yu was surprised by her actions. But instead of being angry, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his face felt hot. He coughed slightly to hide his shyness and looked away.
Seeing that he didn't dare to look at her, Yao Ran narrowed her eyes, thinking that he was feeling guilty.
Ever since he first approached her and willingly worked the night shift to guard the door, Yao Ran had always felt he was too kind to her. The way he treated her was so different from the others, making her wary of his motives for approaching her. Because of this, she couldn't fully trust him or accept his feelings.
Seeing his handsome face turning redder under her gaze, Yao Ran sneered, "You already knew me before you approached me for the first time, right?"
Hearing this question, Long Yu lowered his eyes to look at her and nodded.
Yao Ran narrowed her eyes and asked again, "Do you know me in my previous life? What is your motive for getting close to me?"
Long Yu knew that he had to tell her the truth now. Otherwise, he would regret it later. He said, "Yes. Ran Ran, I just want to protect you. We met three times in our previous life when you were still alive."
Yao Ran frowned when she heard his answer and asked, "Have you seen me after I died?"
Without waiting for Long Yu to answer, she shook her head and muttered to herself, "Impossible. I obviously died after self-exploding in that life. How could he see me if I didn't even leave a complete body behind when I died? Are our timelines different?"
Long Yu listened to her talking to herself and felt heartache for her. He reached out to her and hugged her tightly.
He lowered his head and said hoarsely, "Ran Ran, I miss you so much."
Yao Ran was startled by his sudden intimate move and pushed him away. However, after
trying for a while, she still couldn't push him away.
She was unhappy and thought, 'Why is he so strong?'
Seeing that she no longer pushed him away, Long Yu whispered, "We only met three times in our previous life. When I investigated the organization behind the laboratory, I discovered that you were sold by your family and used as a human test subject."
He paused for a moment and hoarsely said, "Ran Ran... I'm sorry I was late. I couldn't save you. I'm really sorry."
Listening to his suppressed cries, Yao Ran didn't react for a long time. After Long Yu calmed down, she asked, "Have we known each other before? How could I have no memory of you? What is our relationship?"
