In this world, there was always a woman who used tears as a weapon in order to obtain the pity of men, but he was already immune to this. Except for one person, he looked back and saw that person peacefully sleeping there, waiting for him at a place he could see. This feeling made his heart, which had been empty for five years, finally feel satisfied.
Xiao Yannan stared at the phone that was hung up and could no longer get that number. The tears on her face dried up very quickly. In the past, whenever she cried, no matter how busy he was at work, he would always put down what he was doing to coax her.
But now, he was telling her that all of this was just her own fault. She couldn't blame him, and with just a few words, he had completely wiped out all of her sacrifices.
He was right, she was not willing, how could she be willing? She had never been able to get what she wanted, even if she couldn't get what others had to get.
She knew him at the age of three and confessed to him at the age of eighteen, and he thought she was just too drunk to make a scene, and he never took her for a baby, and he only took her as a sister, and he said that she and Jun Ling were his sisters, but he wanted to kiss her a little, and she thought it was only because he wasn't good at expressing himself, but then she knew that it was just because he didn't think she was well. She just wanted him to care about her a little more. However, when he took care of her, he always had a sense of propriety, not one bit less, but never one bit more. She hated his lack of desire, and the more indifferent he was to her, the more she wanted him, and the more unwilling she was to be robbed by that woman.
The door to the room was pushed open. Seeing his daughter sitting at the window looking sad, Father Xiao sighed deeply and walked in front of her. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Dad." Xiao Yannan hugged her father as she said in a muffled voice, "Tell me, why doesn't Brother Jun Yang love me? How can I not compare to that woman? Just what kind of bewitching soup did she drink for him to come and hurt me like this?"
"Silly daughter, in daddy's eyes, you are the best and most obedient. He doesn't want you, dad will find you a man that's thousands of times better than him, and he's not the only man in the world." Father Xiao stroked his daughter's head, a trace of ruthlessness flashing across his eyes.
"I don't want it, I want Brother Junyang! I don't want it! I don't want anyone!" Xiao Yannan started to cry again as she wiped her tears away. She felt extremely wronged, causing her father's heart to ache.
He, Xiao Qiutang's daughter, had grown up in the palm of his hand. It was one thing for him, Ji Junyang, to not care about favors, but he actually dared to bully his daughter like this. Since his wings were so tough, he didn't put him in his eyes anymore. He wanted to destroy the bridge after crossing the river, but there was no way for him.
"Alright, alright, my precious daughter. Dad will definitely make you regret everything and make you beg him to come back to you when the time comes."
Ji Junyang returned to his bed, and pulled her back into his embrace, seemingly waking her up. He slightly opened his eyes, looked at her in a daze, then slowly closed his eyes, pouted, and lightly blew on her breath.
He could not help it, and bent his head to kiss her lips again. This girl, he thought she was cute even when she was sleeping. The unhappiness from the phone just now slowly faded away from her sweet lips. He wanted to give it a try, but the kiss only deepened his efforts.
Qian Xun woke up with a suffocating sense of urgency as he softly moaned.
"You're awake?"
"Don't disturb me, I want to sleep." She crawled under the covers.
He brought her up with one hand and grinned evilly, "You have to try which one is more useful when you buy so many sets, don't you?"
The result of this test was that she was eaten dry by him again the next morning.
When Qian Xun came out of the bathroom, he could feel his legs shaking. She held the door and glared at him resentfully. She couldn't afford to offend a man who was as fierce as a wolf or a tiger.
"Ji Junyang, I want to protest."
"Madam Ji, I think you've used up most of your food last night. Mister Ji, I'll take you out for some delicious food to mend your little body." Ji Junyang pulled her hand.
"Not eating." Qian Xun flung him off. He was still quite a distance away from her now. After eating his fill, wasn't he still tormenting her? She was regretting coming to Jinjiang River with this wolf after all. She was bringing about her own destruction!
"Madam Ji isn't planning to participate in the meeting."
Alright, she was once again threatened by this dangerous creature with a single glance.
In the elevator, she looked at the dark circles around her eyes in the mirror. Previously in Heng Du, women would gather together and talk about private matters, saying that the woman who did that would glow and look moist. However, she felt as if she had aged by several years no matter how she looked at it.
He was so handsome that even the beauties beside could not help but hit on him. He wanted his contact information, so he pushed her out, "Sorry, this is my wife, I want to give you a call, my wife won't be happy."
After exiting the elevator, Qian Xun stomped on his foot and said, "Don't use me as a shield in the future."
"Madam Ji, who else should I send for?"
"Solve it yourself." How could this man's luck with the ladies be so great? There were people who liked him even when he took the elevator up. The long, good leather bag was truly a sight to behold.
After breakfast, he escorted her out to the meeting room. It was all his fault, so by the time she hurried upstairs, the meeting had already begun. She could only stoop down and enter through the back door, sitting beside that annoying surname Qin from yesterday.
There was no helping it, this was the only empty spot behind it.
The one surnamed Qin touched her, seemingly unwilling, "Hey, that man from yesterday, is he really your husband?"
He thought about where he had seen that man before.
"Is there a problem?" Qian Xun indifferently moved his body to the side without leaving a trace.
The one surnamed Qin laughed, "There's no problem. I just feel like I've seen your husband before."
"Maybe." Qian Xun was casually scribbling in his notebook. Even though Ji Junyang wasn't very high-profile, he would occasionally appear in the newspapers or magazines, or on TV. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to gather so much information from him all these years. Therefore, the people in the business circles, like this Qin, felt that it was not that strange to have met him. It was just that he found the buzzing sound of a fly annoying.
"Hey, what's your husband's name? What does he do?" After a while, the person surnamed Qin moved closer.
Was this person done yet? He had to check his account. Qian Xun was a bit annoyed as he said, "I'm sorry, I have no comment."
Alright, it was Ji Junyang who said so. She could do anything she wanted to offend this kind of man and he would clean up the mess for her.
The man surnamed Qin found himself in a bad mood and awkwardly sat down.
His ears finally cleared, but his phone began to get restless again.
Ji Junyang sent a message. "Madam Ji, how come we've only been separated for three minutes? I've already missed you."
Qian Xun replied with one word, "Scram."
"Get lost and you won't come back."
"You dare."
Ji Junyang smiled as he sat in the car. He didn't like sending short messages, so it was a waste of time and energy. But thinking about this little girl, he wanted to grab her from that crappy meeting. He liked her docile demeanor, or his flustered and exasperated attitude. Her every expression was vivid in his eyes.
After a while, he received another message, "Ji Junyang, I have an annoying guy by my side. When the time comes, you can come and pick me up."
Qian Xun thought Qin surnamed Qin would be tactful, but after a while, he came over and asked, "You want to send a message to your husband?"
What does it have to do with him? This man was too kind to care about him. Qian Xun ignored him.
However, her shameless kung fu skills were not for nothing. The one surnamed Qin said, "Looks like your relationship with your husband is really good. Truly enviable."
Still, Qian Xun didn't reply. He quickly sent a message to Ji Junyang. Alright, Teacher Ji and Madam Ji really were each other's shields.
In the car, the man sitting next to Ji Junyang quickly grabbed his phone, "Let me see what made our CEO Ji smile like a fool."
Ji Junyang didn't want to let him see. It was a joke, but it was a love story between a little girl and himself. How could it be seen by an outsider? He immediately rushed over, "Return it to me."
The man bumped into the door and jumped down. Ji Junyang's eyes turned cold as he nimbly chased after the man, not giving him the chance to flip through the book.
The two of them began to fight on this secluded hillside. It was difficult to tell who was attacking and who was defending. Ji Junyang attacked ferociously with his well-defined target, forcing the person to throw his phone into the air. He was one step faster and succeeded in getting it back.
The man took a breath and waved his hand, signalling for them to stop. This man was losing his life more and more, and he had no idea how that woman could have so much magic.
"It's just a text message, there's no need to be so nervous, right?"
"This is a secret, how can I let you look at it so casually?"
The two men lay down on the grass. The sky above them was blue, with white clouds drifting across it, and the sun was beautiful. Little green grasses and new teeth grew on the hillside, and birds of unknown origin flew through the forest.
The man plucked a stalk of grass and placed it in his mouth. He glanced at Ji Junyang and said, "It seems that you've been doing quite well these past two days."
"Not bad." Ji Junyang lightly said, "What is the news from the Xiao family?"
"Xiao Qiu Tang is a cunning old fox. At present, you can't see any movements at all. Everything is hidden under the calm and tranquil illusion. I estimate that he would not even bother to move. The moment he makes a move, he would make a big move. You have to be careful."
"Did you find the person who sold out my father?"
"He's dead. I heard that he fell into the lake when he was fishing with a friend. There were some onlookers who saw him die with their own eyes, but I was wondering if he was killed."
After the meeting was over, Qian Xun rushed down the stairs. Actually, it wouldn't be bad for him to get to know more people at this kind of occasion. However, the fly next to him was really too annoying.
As expected, when she got downstairs, she saw a familiar license plate number. Her comrade Jun was sitting in the car, wearing a pair of sunglasses as he put on a cool appearance.
Alright, he was already cool to begin with. It's just that he was a little abnormal in front of her. He was simply a freak with two extremes.
