Chapter 122 The Prey Comes
The morning sun is quietly painting in the sky.
The morning light spread pink and purple paints, painting the pale sky colorful and dazzling, as if it were a fairyland in Yaochi, with clouds rolling and unrolling.
"Ding ding ding..." the cell phone rang.
The noise made the girl who was sleeping on the bed frown subconsciously. She wanted to reach out for the phone in a daze, but she couldn't lift her hand at all.
She opened her eyes hazily, only to be met with those seductive crimson eyes.
His slightly curved eyes were full of doting, and he reached out and stroked her messy hair.
Ji Ran's brain was still in a state of shutdown. Looking at the perfect face like a sculpture, she was a little stunned, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
He leaned closer to her and kissed her gently on the lips.
The cool and soft touch brought a tingling electric current that instantly ran through her nerves.
The cell phone was still ringing frantically, but she couldn't hear it at all.
Finally, the cell phone ringtone shut up sadly.
"Good morning Ranran~"
The man's magnetic voice rang in her ears, and the overflowing tenderness almost drowned her.
The temperature on her face suddenly boiled. She arched forward and got into the man's arms. She struggled to pull her arms out from the quilt and hugged his waist, leaning against his cool chest.
"Good morning, my Qi Mu."
After saying this, she buried her head even tighter as if she was shy.
He raised his lips, hugged her tightly lovingly, and gently stroked the back of her furry head, enjoying the girl's subconscious and confused dependence on him after she just woke up.
"Ding ding ding..." The cell phone rang again.
Ji Ran frowned unhappily, holding her baby Gui Gui and not wanting to move at all.
The man raised his eyebrows helplessly when he saw this, turned over, reached out to take the phone for her, slid open the answer button and put it to her ear.
"Professor Ji! Get up and come to the college to discuss the content of the press conference!" Chi Tao's noisy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"...Got it!" Ji Ran replied unhappily.
Can't you just send a fucking message about this? Why bother calling her... and him?
Unexpectedly, Chi Tao exclaimed again.
"And! Guess what I found!!"
Ji Ran closed his eyes and sighed, "Speak."
"Ahem..." Chi Tao on the other end seemed to cover her mouth and lowered the volume, "It was on the guest list that Professor Liu gave me, and I saw Zeng Nian!"
Ji Ran suddenly opened his eyes, looked up and met Qi Mu's gaze.
He obviously heard it, and there was a hint of bright red in his eyes.
"And I hinted that his name was only added in the past two days." Chi Tao added in a low voice.
Ji Ran narrowed his eyes and replied calmly, "I understand."
The phone hangs up.
She tightened her arms and pressed closer to the man.
He put down his phone and continued to gently stroke the back of her head, over and over again.
"Don't be afraid, Ranran. I'm here."
His tone was still gentle and firm, but there was a sinister murderous intent in his eyes that did not match his tone.
It seems that the other party is still somewhat suspicious of his girl because of what happened at the birthday party, so he wants to take the opportunity to get closer and test her?
Whatever, anyway
Anyone who tries to touch her will die.
Ji Ran's heart suddenly twitched. She looked up and found that his eyes were full of worry and nervousness for her.
He is obviously the one who is afraid!
But she knew that he was not afraid of Zeng Nian, but was afraid that something might happen to her or she might get hurt.
Ji Ran moved up until he was at the same distance as his face, then playfully leaned forward and kissed him.
“I’m not afraid with you here.
Don't be afraid, I'm here, okay?"
Listening to the girl's sleepy and soft voice, the hostility in the man's eyes instantly turned back into tenderness.
"Good~"
He caressed her slightly flushed cheek lovingly, kissed her back as if she were a treasure.
Ji Ran closed her eyes excitedly, enjoying the sweetness that belonged to her and responding to his active tenderness.
She really wasn't afraid at all.
She couldn't ask for more, okay?
If she wanted to get clues about Qi Mu's remains, she had to get close to Zeng Nian to investigate, but the other party was in a high position and there was no chance for her to get close to him.
She couldn't go into the military camp, nor could she find a suitable reason to visit Zeng's family again.
The prey came to her, could she still refuse?

Kyoto University School of Life Sciences Research Building.
Noila Mo and Yan Lele got out of the car and walked straight towards the elevator.
Coming here again, Yan Lele felt very uneasy, "Sister Yilan..."
Noila Mo glanced at him and said, “Yeah.”
"Have you ever asked why Professor Ji ran away last time? It can't be really because I'm not good at talking and said something wrong..." Yan Lele poked her finger aggrievedly.
Hearing this, Noila Mo was stunned for a moment, and said lightly,
"Don't ask me, I don't know."
She was too lazy to care about these trivial matters. Besides, Xiao Leng had always been so arrogant since she was a child. She did whatever she wanted and never explained anything to others.
Who can control her?
Yan Lele fell silent upon seeing this, and couldn't help but feel confused.
Xiao Leng and Sister Yilan have known each other since childhood, and they share the same suffering. Logically, they should care about each other like family members, but why do they always give people such a distant feeling?
Soon, the two of them got on the elevator with ease, pressed the floor button and then pressed the door close button.
The moment the elevator door closed, it suddenly opened again.
A tall and straight elegant man, wearing a casual white suit and carrying a simple large cooler bag, appeared at the elevator door.
When she looked up, Noila Mo’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Good morning."
Jiang Baishen curved a warm smile between his brows, and walked in naturally and stood beside Noila Mo.
"Good morning, Mr. Jiang!" Yan Lele responded loudly and excitedly, his eyes full of undisguised appreciation and admiration.
Mr. Jiang is so handsome!!!
No wonder I heard from my colleagues in the entertainment group gossip that several top female stars are vying for Mr. Jiang’s favor, openly or secretly, and that there are also rumors in the financial circle that the daughters of tycoons are crazy about him.
Even as a man he felt that this was simply the Prince Charming!
Noila Mo glanced at herself unconsciously in her cold white professional suit and skirt suit. Her heartbeat quickened a little. She secretly adjusted her breathing and responded with a polite smile:
"Morning, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Baishen was stunned, and his smile suddenly dimmed.
She called him Mr. Jiang again...
"Are you busy with work recently?" Jiang Baishen asked casually.
You know, he usually hates this kind of superficial greetings, but he doesn't know what to say to her, but he wants to say something to her.
“Not bad,” Noila Mo answered seemingly casually, but her mood suddenly became a little lower for no reason.
Being so polite to her...it seemed that in his mind, she was just a staff member of a cooperative project.
Jiang Baishen heard the perfunctory and distant tone in her voice, feeling somewhat helpless, and hurriedly tried to show concern:
"Pay attention to your health."
Hearing this leader's concern for the standards of his subordinates, Noila Mo couldn't help but glance at him speechlessly and took a breath silently.
"Well, thank you Mr. Jiang for your concern."
Hearing this standard way of talking to a subordinate about his boss, Jiang Baishen felt a little helpless, not knowing how the conversation had turned out like this.
Yan Lele didn't know why, but he felt that the atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably awkward. He could only move two steps helplessly towards the corner of the elevator.
