"On what basis?"

Qin Runnan heard the question back, and laughed out loud, "Why? Just because you do not have the capital to survive in A City, all of the things that you snatched from Li Tan's body, were all taken by me to help you … "

"Without me, you would not even have the chance to win a case. I don't mind letting Li Tan out for you."

"How dare you!"

I made you look at her in a funny way. Is there anything in this world he doesn't dare to do?

"If you dare to leave me, I will!" Or are you angry with me because I ruined your life last night? In your heart, you actually have a better impression of Feng Cheng. Do you want Feng Cheng to see your ability to serve others like a corpse in bed? Or should I say … "

"Qin Runnan! What happened that day was a misunderstanding! Why are you still holding on to me! "

"Then why are you holding me back this time!"

An Jiuyue stared at Qin Runnan's eyes. He had a lot of things to say, but in the end he could not say a single word.

"Alright, I'm not leaving."

Qin Runnan suddenly stood up from the bed, his eyes shining with pleasant surprise, but it was immediately extinguished by An Jiuyue's next sentence.

"I wonder if my body, An Jiuyue, can allow you to be my substitute for me for a few days?"

"What did you say? An Jiuyue, you …"

"You should go and speak these words of love with your 'Nuannuan'. To put it bluntly, what love, I am just a lonely consolation in your heart … Qin Runnan, you really have a good plan … "

"What are you talking about …"

"I've lost, I've lost in a flop... Thank you. From today onwards, this body of mine will be used by you. Don't you want to use this body of yours the day you no longer want to touch me? I'll give you everything! "

An Jiuyue laughed bitterly, "Anyway... You can only trap my body. My heart is already dead, and you have already crushed it! "

After saying that, An Jiuyue clenched her teeth and got up from the bed, her entire body was in pain as though she had been run over by a car.

However, she clenched her teeth and endured until the outside world.

An Jiuyue looked around and confirmed that she was not acquainted with anyone. She then quickly entered a pharmacy and searched through the entire medicine rack but didn't find any contraceptives. Could it be that this shop didn't sell contraceptives?

She was still panicking inwardly. She didn't know how long she had been tortured by that man and didn't have any means of protection …

In case … What if she …

An Jiuyue did not dare to think any further, because she knew that continuing any further would be painful.

An Jiuyue glanced at the owner of the cashier counter who was engrossed in watching TV, and after feeling conflicted for a while, he suddenly changed his mind and quickly walked over: "Boss, do you have any contraceptives?"

"Ah?" What medicine are you talking about? " The boss was wholeheartedly focusing on the TV show, adding that An Jiuyue's speed of speech was too fast due to being shy, she simply could not hear what An Jiuyue was saying clearly.

"Contraceptives." An Jiuyue enunciated each word through gritted teeth. After she finished speaking, she felt her entire face burning, but the pain in her body continued to spread.

Unable to hold on any longer, he used both of his hands to support the counter, giving off an excessively lustful feeling.

The boss of the medicine store glanced at An Jiuyue, his expression was unfriendly, with a hint of ridicule and disdain, he took out a box from his side and threw it in front of An Jiuyue.

When An Jiuyue saw the two big, glaring words, she couldn't help but wish that there was a hole in the ground beneath her feet to hide in.

"Twenty-five." The owner snorted coldly, his eyes filled with dense disdain. An Jiuyue clearly knew why she had attracted such gazes, so she quickly took out her phone to pay for it. After placing the pill in her bag, she hurriedly ran out of the pharmacy.

He went back to the company nervously, expecting to be tormented by the people in the office, but the office was empty.

An Jiuyue smiled bitterly and locked herself in the bathroom she brought with him in her office.

An Jiuyue, you are taking yourself too seriously. In this A City, other than the aunties of the orphanage, who would be worried about your safety?

After exiting the company's office and living in He Xueru's residence for a long time, An Jiuyue found out that it had been a long time since she last stayed.

Although the furniture was covered with dust-proof cloths before she left, the cleaning of the rest of the furniture took her an entire afternoon to tidy up.

He Xueru specifically requested for a leave of absence, and in the afternoon, she accompanied An Jiuyue back to her apartment to secretly retrieve her luggage, and then went to the nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities. After finishing all these, it was already night when An Jiuyue returned to the home that He Xueru had lent her.

"You're back? Have you eaten? " He Xueru who was working overtime had just returned home and was sitting on the sofa waiting for them to eat dinner.

An Jiuyue nodded her head in exhaustion. Today, she had been really "busy" all day, and in the morning, she had a showdown with Qin Runnan. The two of them talked a lot, and after receiving a house from He Xueru in the afternoon, they dragged their exhausted bodies to tidy up the house …

He Xueru had originally thought that they would be able to eat at An Jiuyue's place during the night. She didn't expect that in the end, neither of the two would be willing to cook any more, and instead, they barely managed to fill their stomachs with take-out food.

The two of them sat on the sofa and rested for a while. He Xueru originally wanted to go back to her small apartment to take a hot bath before going to bed.

"I heard that Duan Feifei went to the company today?"

An Jiuyue scolded Duan Feifei ten thousand times in her heart. She felt that it was nothing much to He Xueru, so she just spoke everything out loud, "Previously, she was always making things difficult for me behind my back. Regarding this matter, I feel that your Secretary's Office … "It should be the entire company starting to gossip …"

Seeing An Jiuyue's expression, He Xueru could not figure out what Qin Runnan was thinking. She thought to herself that this was the CEO's decision, how could she know what kind of position Duan Feifei was relying on now?

Thinking about it, he added on what he heard, "The Secretary Duan Elder is now one of the top figures in the company. In the few days that you were gone, she became really arrogant, and that Old Madame Qin also seemed to like her a lot. Leaning on the backdoor that was opened for her, I don't think Director Qin can even talk about her anymore."

Only now did An Jiuyue glance at He Xueru, not expecting Duan Feifei to start taking joy in her misfortune so quickly.

He said slowly: "How did you know it was the Old Madame Qin who opened the back door?"

Seeing that He Xueru had an expression that made it difficult to say anything, An Jiuyue waved her hand and said: "Anyway, I'm useless now, I'm just hanging up a name … If anything happens, it will just be her, Duan Feifei's, causing the company to lose face. I'm more concerned about something else - what's the relationship between you and Duan Feifei now? "

He Xueru curled her lips, collapsed on the sofa, and turned her head to the other side: "Just the relationship between the boss and little brother … "Because she was previously a classmate of the Director Qin, she showed us quite a bit of color behind our backs. Now that she has defeated you, she's probably even more unrestrained than before …"

As He Xueru spoke, she let out a bitter laugh, "Our days are not going well … "But today you became so gossipy."

"Why do I call it gossip?"

An Jiuyue gulped down the milk in her hands and laid on the sofa like He Xueru, "I was obviously worried about you, understand?"

"I can't tell."

"Then be more obvious? "For example, how old are you and why don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Oh my god!" He Xueru shouted as she covered her face with her hands and rolled on the sofa, "An Jiuyue, you're still young, why are you so worried about this now?"

"This means that Auntie and I are both worried about you." An Jiuyue looked at He Xueru and actually felt a little happy in her heart.

With a serious face, he continued, "And I heard that a man from the secretary department was expelled four years ago. To be honest, what exactly do you feel for him? Now you must give me a definite answer. "

When An Jiuyue went to the company today, other than receiving a few cold eyes that could not be avoided, she also heard a bunch of gossips, and this was one of them.

It was rumored that there was a handsome guy in the Secretary's Department back then. Something seemed to have happened with He Xueru later on and Duan Feifei reported it to Qin Runnan.

"Didn't I already say it was a friend!?" He Xueru directly laid down, burying her face between the cushions, as if she didn't want to talk to An Jiuyue anymore.

Seeing that He Xueru was pretending to not move, An Jiuyue stretched her legs and kicked her butt. However, He Xueru only prostrated herself deeper into the sofa, not revealing her face.

He Xueru said in a deep voice, "An Jiuyue, forget about the marriage, I haven't even seen the shadow of my boyfriend yet …"

"Then why do you blame us for being anxious?"

A muffled voice came from the cushions, "Then you're already twenty-six. Aren't you not married yet? You still have the nerve to urge me."

An Jiuyue rolled her eyes and said, "If I don't marry, then … I'm not like some people who are famous for not daring to confess to people they really like. "

An Jiuyue was joking around with He Xueru, He Xueru could hear it, and thought that in order to soothe An Jiuyue's mood, she would accept.

He Xueru flipped her body and sat up, then conveniently threw a pillow at An Jiuyue's face: "You sure you don't dare."

"But I think that some guy is overly picky and narcissistic to the point that he wouldn't be able to hold on to the main road anymore. I think that we, An Jiuyue, should have a better man to look for. We can't find such a bastard."

An Jiuyue knew that she was trying to console her, and immediately smiled: "If I didn't have the right partner, I really wouldn't want to waste my excellent genetic skills. It's just that some people come and bother me everyday. "

The two of them laughed for a while and spent a great amount of effort to clean up the bedroom. An Jiuyue felt that she was almost exhausted.

He quickly took a hot shower. Lying on his bed, he wanted to get together with Zhou as soon as possible, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He had to admit that even though he was drunk in the end, he was right. Or rather, if she hadn't drunk too much, she might not have known that there would be people around her who would fall in love with her and continue to do so indifferently.

Twenty-six years old. Yes, she was twenty-six years old, and she had never noticed it before.

She remembered that she had only graduated a few years ago from university when she met Li Tan. Even though she had carried the title of "Academic Grass" in her head, she was only slightly more attractive than an ordinary senior.

What school grass? All it did was just put on a random hat.

Before that, the person that An Jiuyue had a secret crush on was the class monitor of high school who was in the limelight. In the eyes of the bystanders, there was a rich family's young master, and beside him were countless beauties.

Before that, she was still that lonesome little girl who had walked out of the orphanage …

An Jiuyue had always felt that there was a place in her heart that was relatively still during this time.

Some ideas have changed, others are not insistent. But in her heart, she would always be that girl who gritted her teeth and had to bear all the responsibilities …

because there are things that don't change, and the nature doesn't change...

She was also an orphan, an orphan that no one doted on …

Bullying and mocking were things that she would never be able to let go of in her entire life.

So the moment she understood He Xueru, she immediately thought of herself that year, leaving the orphanage and not receiving the support of anyone.

What was even more miserable than He Xueru was that after encountering all these unforeseen events, An Jiuyue was even used by others to be tricked and betrayed by the people she loved.

Maybe this was why He Xueru wanted to help her. It was because it was as if she saw her helpless self in front of him in the past.

On the other side, Qin Runnan's house.

"Bastard!" If a single person doesn't have a good impression, what do I need you to do? "

Qin Runnan held a meeting late today, but returned home to find out that An Jiuyue had actually gone missing?

He thought that the woman would come back obediently, but she actually ran even faster than a rabbit!

Looking at the servants who had their heads lowered, not daring to speak, and the objects that had been smashed because of his fury, the fury in Qin Runnan's heart grew even stronger.

"Hurry up and clean up!"

Qin Runnan had originally wanted to leave An Jiuyue by his side like this, so that he could accompany her to recuperate the injuries in her heart.

But he didn't think that An Jiuyue actually didn't want to be with him. He thought about the various forms of love feedback he had received from An Jiuyue.

There was gratitude, sympathy, and compassion, but no love.

Did An Jiuyue really not like him? Or was he really just like An Jiuyue had said, only using An Jiuyue as a substitute …

No, he did like An Jiuyue, but if he treated An Jiuyue like a reliable friend who was a cannon fodder on a bed, then that was not what he wanted.

After seeing this point clearly, Qin Runnan did not feel that it was anything special. After all, there was still a lot of time to come, so he did not mind spending time with An Jiuyue.

I'll think about it in a few years, but I still have a few decades to return it to me.

With this thought, all the way until the day Feng Cheng brought An Jiuyue to the hotel, where he had wanted to have a good talk with someone, but even more so, wanted to take An Jiuyue over.

Hearing An Jiuyue's painful screams and curses that wished for nothing more than to kill him, he wished that she could trap this woman by her side forever …

He wanted to hear An Jiuyue call out his name out of instinct …

That's right, he should have thought of this a long time ago. If it wasn't for the slight trace of nostalgia in her heart, why would she choose to stay after completing the cooperation?

And why didn't he let go …

Only now did Qin Runnan realize that the scars and marks on his heart that his crimes left behind, were truly too deep.

It was just that An Jiuyue had concealed it too well, even he herself almost believed it to be true.

Just as Qin Runnan was about to go out and look for An Jiuyue in A City, Nian Yangrong suddenly rushed over.

"For a fox spirit, Runnan, are you planning to throw away all your Qin Family!"
