Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Thankfully, Song Yu Han finally gave up and left the room, leaving the two inside to talk.

Ran Xueyi didn't immediately open her mouth to speak as she waited for Old Master Song to finish observing her. If she wasn't wrong, Old Master Song must have had some thoughts already inside his mind and didn't speak earlier.

After a few seconds of silence inside the room, Old Master Song finally spoke.

He said, "I am not sure if it's because my age is catching up to my memory, but if I am not wrong, you are Ran Yiqing's granddaughter."

Ran Xueyi readily nodded to his words and replied, "I met Old Master Song during my grandfather's party. I still clearly remember the close friend that my grandfather introduced to me at that time."

Old Master Song scoffed, "So, he's calling me his close friend? How shameless."

Ran Xueyi raised her eyebrow at that, wondering what made him say these words.

Old Master Song saw her reaction and lightly coughed before saying, "Your grandfather must have not told you. When we were still young, the two of us were considered as rivals.Our relationship is far from being harmonious. When he uses the left passage, I use the right passage, that's the kind of relationship we have in the past."

After speaking, Old Master Song seemed to have a short moment of reminiscing his pasts and despite him saying that the two of them were rivals and couldn't stand each other, his lips were still raised and as if he was remembering something very nice.

"But that was all in the past," Old Master Song continued, "The two of us married and had our children. It must be because we were able to create a family that we realized there was really no need to continue our relationship like that, thus, we decided to become friends."

Ran Xueyi was surprised to hear him speak of his past without any filters. Though she came here as Old Master Ran's granddaughter and possibly, the lover of his grandson, it was still a bit too awkward and difficult to share one's feelings and memories to a stranger.

But Old Master Song just did this to her.

He didn't act and treated her like a stranger, his treatment was very warm and familiar as though he was talking to a companion he had been with a long time ago.

This surprised her, but Ran Xueyi only showed a faint smile on her lips and didn't interrupt or stop the old man from speaking.

After a while, Old Master Song stopped thinking about his past and finally focused his attention on Ran Xueyi. He asked her some basic questions that she even had the illusion of being interviewed for a position at a company.

After knowing those simple things about her, Old Master Song acted even closer to her and said, "I know this might have been quite surprising to you. It's just that I never saw Song Yu Han acting like this towards anyone. I even had doubts about his orientation and already gave up asking him to continue the family bloodline."

Ran Xueyi: "..."

She had to admit that Song Yu Han was really pitiful. It was not only her who thought and assumed that he was secretly hiding inside the closet and hasn't come out yet. It seemed that even Old Master Song, his grandfather, was also thinking this.

She suddenly wondered how Song Yu Han would react if he found out about this?

He'd probably burn the Song family's main mansion as compensation.

Seeing her being silent, Old Master Song was slightly afraid that she had misunderstood him and really thought that Song Yu Han had a different orientation and corrected himself, "Of course, it's only my assumption. Now, I don't have anything to worry about."

Old Master Song stood up and rounded the desk before sitting across the chair where Ran Xueyi sat. A chessboard with chess pieces across the flat surface was in between them.

He casually touched a piece and with his profound gaze, he stared at her.

"Miss Ran, I have a question..." Old Master Song suddenly said, "What is the real relationship between you and my grandson?"

Ran Xueyi calmly stared back at him, but she still didn't respond as Old Master Song was not done questioning her.

"I know my grandson and know that his actions today aren't abrupt. Others might think you two are acquaintances that met a few times, but this won't fool me easily. I think that you two have met more than just a few times."

'pu'

The chess piece in his hand was suddenly put down on the board. The Old Master Song started to play.

Ran Xueyi didn't feel at loss at his questions nor at the sudden movement he did. She remembered those times when her grandfather also did this to her to train her mental capacity. A chess board was not only about wins or losses, but to understand the opponent's strength and mental stability to control their emotions while fighting with a capable enemy.

Shifting slightly on her chair, Ran Xueyi silently stared at the chessboard in front of her and slowly raised her hand. She picked the horse piece and used it to advance forward.

"Old Master Song is correct. The two of us certainly didn't meet a few times."

Ran Xueyi's reply was a confirmation that the two of them had been in contact with each other for some time. This wasn't a lie, but it was also not necessarily the truth since in reality, Ran Xueyi met Song Yu Han only a few months ago.

Old Master Song stared at her for a long time and thought that it was as he expected. Song Yu Han's actions were too shocking earlier. He suddenly made a move in front of everyone and unexpectedly went to approach a woman. If it were someone else, they wouldn't doubt it, but it was Song Yu Han, his grandson was known to be extremely strict and obstinate as a monk.

Hence, Old Master Song fell to a conclusion that the two of them did know each other and were relatively closer than just being acquainted with each other.

However, Ran Xueyi wasn't done talking.

She let her words hang in the air for a few seconds before dropping a few astonishing words that almost gave Old Master Song a heart attack.

"And to answer your question earlier..." Ran Xueyi let her voice trail before finally confessing, "Our relationship is already considered being married by law."
