Ding-Dong!

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly lit up. A WeChat message popped up on the screen.

Shen Tinglan glanced at it and vaguely saw that it seemed to be a message from her friend.

Huo Jiarong: Qianye, are you home yet?

Right after that was another one.

Huo Jiarong: [Picture] It’s beautiful. I just think it suits me. It’s exclusively mine. Beautiful!

The cell phone went dark. Of course, Shen Tinglan could not see the rest of the messages, but this did not prevent him from continuing to try to see the rest of the messages!

He reached out with his slender fingers and clicked on her cell phone. Soon, an interface popped up on the screen asking him to enter the screen saver password.

Shen Tinglan pondered for a moment and entered a string of numbers. It was wrong.

The man frowned slightly and glanced at the woman who had fallen asleep for a few seconds. There was a deep look in his eyes. Soon, he calmly entered another set of numbers.

As expected, the phone unlocked.

He quickly clicked on it and saw the message at the top.

It was a message from that woman called Huo Jiarong.

He clicked on it and the accompanying photo immediately came into view.

It was a hand with a ruby bracelet.

If he was not mistaken, it should be the one that Tang Feng bought for her at the auction that day!

This woman actually used the things he gave her to please another woman?

Huo Jiarong: How is it? Isn’t it beautiful? I’ll bring it out one day to slap Lou Qianwei’s face and let Mu Ziyi see our capabilities. Look at how Lou Qianwei is showing off. Isn’t it just a diamond necklace worth 30 million yuan? She’s so excited. She’s indeed a bumpkin who has never seen such grandeur! You should beat Mu Ziyi up tonight. Don’t go easy on him.

Huo Jiarong: Are you asleep? Why aren’t you replying?

…

Quite bold!

The man’s silent black eyes were instantly filled with a cold gloom. It was as if a cold storm had broken out in the deep sea on the silent night. His noble and handsome face instantly turned pale.

He coughed a few times and held the coffee table with one hand. He closed his eyes and calmed down silently. When he opened them again, the dark light in his eyes had already faded. However, Ming Qianye, who was in deep sleep, was sharp and vaguely sensed the change in the atmosphere.

She opened her eyes alertly, and what greeted her eyes was Shen Tinglan’s noble and handsome face. His deep eyes seemed to be laced with a trace of coldness that was disappearing. He was as silent as the deep sea, cold and emotionless.

“You’re awake?”

The man leaned over and looked at her. His indifferent lips parted slightly, and his slightly cold voice revealed a hint of coldness!

Ming Qianye was shocked and all her consciousness returned to her body in an instant!

Did something happen?

He was so close to her that she felt a little uneasy!

Moreover, she was too familiar with this appearance. It was definitely the prelude to the Devil summoning a storm…

“What happened?”

Ming Qianye raised her hand to wipe her eyes and asked hurriedly. She was already on high alert. She leaned back slightly and distanced herself from Shen Tinglan. After her sharp gaze sized up Shen Tinglan for a while, it immediately stopped on his hand…

It was her cell phone.

“I’ll give you a chance to explain.”

Shen Tinglan handed the phone to her.

Ming Qianye saw Huo Jiarong’s message very quickly. Of course, she didn’t miss that picture…

Seeing this, Ming Qianye couldn’t help but raise her hand to her forehead. “50 million. I sold it to Huo Jiarong. She was the one who asked me to bid for it in the first place. I’m not interested in these things. It’s a waste to leave them in my hands. It’s a good thing to let those who know how to appreciate it have them.”

Recently, she had been short of money. There were too many things she needed to use money for. The approval of the application funds was slow, and they were paid layer by layer. Recently, she did not have the time to compete with those old fellows to get the funds. She could only use her own money to pay first. Only after the approval could she have more money in her hands.

“At night, I taught a few people a lesson on Orange Night. Rong might have been implicated by me because of my past grudges,”

Ming Qianye explained simply.

The gloominess in Shen Tinglan’s eyes faded a little. His slightly cold fingers gently pressed against her cheek, and his thumb gently caressed her delicate and fair skin. His low and hoarse voice was as cold as the arctic wind.

“You didn’t want my gift, did you?”

Feeling the pressure from the Devil, Ming Qianye couldn’t help but tremble slightly. However, she quickly regained her composure and averted her gaze. “No. It’s already so late at night. You’ve just recovered. Be careful and rest early in case anything happens again.”

A smile suddenly flashed across Shen Tinglan’s handsome face. He said in a low voice, “Now you suddenly know how to care about me. Don’t worry, I will take care of myself. After all, we’re not married yet.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Qianye’s eyes darkened and her face immediately turned cold. “What’s there to worry about? If you collapse, I’ll be free. Why worry?”

Shen Tinglan coughed a few times and replied with a faint smile, “If… I die, then you’ll be a widow for me. You’ll inherit everything from me and live a peaceful life before coming down to accompany me.”

Ming Qianye’s starry eyes froze for a moment. She looked at him silently and understood that he wasn’t joking.

“I’ll make you some medicinal tea.”

She suddenly got up and went to the cabinet beside her to find a packet of medicinal tea. She quickly brewed it for him.

When she came back with a cup of hot medicinal tea, Shen Tinglan was sitting in her seat and looking at the documents that she had translated.

She placed the tea by his hand and returned his coat to his shoulders.

“Senior, do you know anyone from Ring City?”

She asked in a low voice.

The two of them went to high school a year apart from each other and were both in G University. Ming Qianye usually called him senior and only called him by his full name when she was angry.

“Yes?”

Shen Tinglan glanced at her in confusion.

“It’s Ring City Entertainment. The President is Yi Jie.”

Ming Qianye hadn’t forgotten about Huo Jiarong.

“He dared to provoke you?”

Shen Tinglan’s black eyes instantly fell silent, and his gaze turned sharp and cold.

Ming Qianye shook her head. “No, they can’t hurt me. It’s just that they might mess up Huo Jiarong’s female lead role. If possible, can you ask them not to replace her? It wasn’t easy for her to get the role.”

“Got it,”

He replied with few words. There was silence in his eyes, and no emotion could be detected.

Ming Qianye looked at him. She had wanted to ask if “Got it” meant he could help protect Huo Jiarong’s role as the female lead role, but seeing that he was obviously in a bad mood, she could only shut up silently.

Seeing that he had started to read the documents again, she could only accompany him. She moved her body, supported her head with one hand, and gently massaged his back with her fists. After a while, she fell asleep.

Shen Tinglan noticed that her hand had slipped and he suddenly stretched out his hand.
