Chapter 548: 534, His Plot (2)_1
Chu Yan said, “It’s nothing serious, just a minor cold.”
“Grandfather Chu, can I go see Ruohan?” He asked hesitantly.
Chu Yan glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
“Grandfather Chu, I’ll go up now.”
Qin Baihao politely nodded his head, then proceeded upstairs.
The luxurious chandelier illuminated the room brightly, Chu Ruohan paced back and forth restlessly, her face full of impatience and irritability.
She realized she had been confined at home for several days already. The thought of her impending marriage made her even more furious.
Damn Qin Baihao. She had absolutely no desire to marry him.
“Knock, knock, knock—”
A steady rhythm of knocking rang out.
Chu Ruohan reluctantly made her way to the door. Upon spotting the man standing in the doorway, she instinctively wanted to shut the door.
“Ruohan, wait!”
Qin Baihao couldn’t help but reflect a cruel look in his eyes when he saw the disgust on her face.
Heh, Chu Ruohan, if it wasn’t for the Chu Family supporting you, even looking at you would be a waste of my time, Qin Baihao.
“Qin Baihao, what are you doing here?”

Even though they were engaged, Chu Ruohan’s attitude towards him was one of disdain.
“Ruohan, let me in first. You wouldn’t want Grandfather Chu to see us standing like this, would you?”
Indeed, Qin Baihao was cunning, using Chu Yan as leverage against Chu Ruohan. Hearing his words, Chu Ruohan glared at him, then opened the door to let him in.
“Say what you have to say.”
Qin Baihao fixed his slightly disheveled jacket, raising his eyebrows at her. “Ruohan, Chu Yan told me you were feeling unwell. So I specifically came to see you. After all, we will soon be husband and wife.”
“Who’s your wife?” Chu Ruohan glaring fiercely at him, she drank displeased. What she hated the most was having any relationship with him. Her affection belonged only to Quan Jingwu. Except for him, she didn’t want to marry anyone.
“Ruohan, our engagement was agreed upon by both families. We’re already engaged, and in a few days, we’ll be getting married. I know you don’t like me, but no matter what, I will be your husband.” Qin Baihao calmly stated the facts.
“Shut up.” Chu Ruohan stomped her foot in anger. “If it wasn’t for my brother and grandfather forcing me, do you think I would marry you? Qin Baihao, I despise you. Don’t you understand that?”
Qin Baihao laughed carelessly. “What does it matter? It’s enough that I like you, and our marriage is already a done deal.”
How dare she covet Quan Jingwu. That’s a pipe dream. With Jian Qing’s face alone, she could outshine Chu Ruohan by a mile. If he were Quan Jingwu, he would definitely choose a woman like Jian Qing too.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, yet so intelligent it was scary.
She was like a poppy blossom, dangerously captivating.
“Get out of here. I don’t want to see you.” Chu Ruohan opened the door, her words as cold as ice.
Looking at her arrogant demeanor, Qin Baihao chuckled inwardly. Taking a big stride, he walks up to her, reaching out to pull her into his arms.
“Qin Baihao, what the hell are you doing?”
Chu Ruohan’s eyes flashed with panic, she had never expected Qin Baihao to be so audacious.
“Ruohan, I deeply like you. Why do you keep rejecting my sincere feelings for you?” Qin Baihao held her hands with one arm and wrapped her waist with the other, closing the distance between them.
“Quan Jingwu has proposed to Jian Qing. It’s impossible for you two.”
Recalling what he just said, Chu Ruohan almost ground her teeth to dust in anger.
“Shut up!”
Using all her strength to push him away, she raised her hand to slap him, only to have him grasp her wrist in mid-air.
“Ruohan, I have a temper too. I don’t mind you trampling on my sincere feelings for you, but you shouldn’t repeatedly take advantage of it.” He held onto her wrist, his voice was heavy.
Chu Ruohan sarcastically laughed at him, “Qin Baihao, why don’t you just call off the engagement?”
If he were to call off the engagement, she would welcome it. That way her brother wouldn’t be able to say anything to her.
“Don be assured Ruohan, one way or another, I am definitely getting married to you.” Qin Baihao released her hand, his words came out with a smirk.
“You…”
Chu Ruohan was angered and was about to start a tirade, but she softened her tone a bit as if she had remembered something.
“Qin Baihao, how about we take a walk outside?”
Her sudden shift caught Qin Baihao off guard, a glint of surprise in his eyes.
On the contrary, her idea worked well with his plans. If she didn’t go out with him, his own plans wouldn’t come to fruition.
Pretending to be pleasantly surprised, he asked, “Where do you want to go?”
Both of them had ulterior motives, unknowingly becoming the pawns of each other.
“Anywhere is fine, go tell my grandfather that you want to take me out for a walk to clear my mind.” Chu Ruohan ordered in a commanding tone.
Qin Baihao didn’t hesitate, and nodded immediately.
Chu Ruohan picked up a coat and put it on, then followed Qin Baihao downstairs.
“Where are you two going?”
When Chu Yan saw the two of them coming down together, his eyes landed on Chu Ruohan who was neatly dressed. His view became heavy.
“Grandfather Chu, I want to take Ruohan out for a stroll to clear her mind. I’ll bring her back in a while, is that okay?” With Chu Yan there, Chu Ruohan could only play along, unusually, she didn’t shake off his hand right away to embarrass him on the spot.
Chu Yan’s gaze shifted between the two, seeing their hands clasped together, a small smile emerged on his serious face.
“Come back early.”
“We know.” Qin Baihao replied.
Upon stepping out of Chu family’s door, Chu Ruohan distastefully shook off Qin Baihao’s hand. Holding her purse, she left Qin Baihao behind and tried to walk away on her own.
She hadn’t taken two steps when Qin Baihao blocked her way.
“Where are you going?”
“Where I go is none of your business.” Chu Ruohan lost her patience, her gaze falling displeasingly on him.
Qin Baihao paid no attention to her hostile attitude, there was a significant smile at the corner of his mouth. “Ruohan, do you want to meet Quan Jingwu?”
Upon hearing Quan Jingwu’s name, Chu Ruohan was as excited as getting an adrenaline shot, “What do you mean by that?”
“Tonight, our Qin Group has a joint project to discuss with JK International, and Quan Jingwu will be there. Would you like to come with me?” Qin Baihao threw out the bait.
“Are you serious?” Chu Ruohan gave him a suspicious look and sneered, “I don’t believe you’re so kind-hearted. Technically, I’m your future wife. So, you’re generously taking me to meet another man? This won’t benefit you in any way.”
Qin Baihao’s face showed no change, he said calmly, “Quan Jingwu already has a woman he loves, what difference does it make if you meet him? Rather than having you constantly thinking about him, it’s better to let you see how happy he is, it might make you give up.”
Chu Ruohan stared at him intensively. Gradually, her suspicions started to fade.
