Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

At the same time. Ran Xueyi quietly sat in the back of the car and had never uttered a single word since their conversation stopped. Strangely, the man who was tasked with abducting her was more talkative than she thought. Of course, he wasn't really spilling his employer's secrets to her.

"Hey, are you sleeping?" "That can't be."

"Even though the place we're going to may not be a place where a lot of people live, the scenery should be spectacular and picture-perfect!"

The more he spoke, the less Ran Xueyi took him seriously.

Just what was wrong with him? Clearly, she was being held hostage. Shouldn't they act tougher and harsher? Although Ran Xueyi preferred them not hurting either her or Alina, seeing this kind of abduction style seemed a tad different from what she was expecting. "There's still half an hour before we get to our destination. I'd prefer to relax a bit and take some of these." Ran Xueyi, who just wanted to close her eyes, watched the man pull open the mini-fridge inside the car. The inside wasn't that big, but it was still filled with a variety of drinks, from water to alcoholic beverages.

The man, whose name she still didn't get to know, plucked a bottle from one of the alcoholic beverages and pressed a few buttons. Then two champagne glasses appeared in his hand when he turned to her. With a smile, he poured the wine into the glasses, each filled to the brim, before handing one to her. Naturally, Ran Xueyi didn't want to accept or drink anything from these people. However, before she could refuse, the man had already thrust the glass in her way, forcing her to take it from him, as she was afraid he'd spill it all over her clothes. "Perfect!" the man gleefully praised before he poured himself a glass. Then, before Ran Xueyi could wonder if the wine had been tampered with, he took a huge gulp and licked his lips.

The night was deepening. Holding the glass of wine in her hand, Ran Xueyi didn't know what to think. The man was undoubtedly dangerous, and even her current situation was terrifying. Yet, why does she feel like it didn't seem like it, too?

Or maybe this was his plan all along? To make her relax. Then, when she finally puts her guard down…

He'll shed his mask away.

Spending the next thirty minutes in silence had Ran Xueyi all nervous and a little sleepy. If she had taken a sip from the glass of wine, she'd really suspect it was tampered with. But it clearly wasn't.

"Impressed?"

Ran Xueyi's attention was diverted when a voice from the front interrupted.

Not being bothered about not getting a reply, the man said in a patient voice, "This island was bought by the Vorona family a century ago. However, with the amount of wealth they have in their pockets, they didn't have any idea what to do with this place. But honestly, I think they forgot about it and didn't carefully think about what to do with it."

Ran Xueyi stiffened at what she heard.

She raised her head and looked at the man driving the snowmobile. However, since he was sitting in front of her, she could only see the back of his head.

Vorona.

She came across another person with the surname Vorona. However, that man was a member of An Hun. Percy Vorona.

"I heard you like the winter season out of all seasons. This place…do you think it's beautiful?"

The man continued.

Ran Xueyi snapped her attention back to the side, where a vast expanse of white and nature lay before her eyes. But instead of seeing what was in front of her, a memory she thought she had long discarded and forgotten suddenly flashed in front of her.

"It's finally snowing, Xueyi."
