Jian Zhengtian inhaled a few breaths of air, using this to reduce the pain in his body. After recovering slightly in a second, he looked at Qin Yue.
He stared at Qin Yue's calm face for a long time. Qin Yue was too strong in his heart, so strong that no one could understand what he was thinking from his appearance.
He had secretly studied Qin Yue for a long time, and the only thing that could cause Qin Yue's face to reveal a flaw was Jian Ran, Qin Yue's only weakness.
This weakness of Qin Yue's was tightly grasped in his hands. If he did not allow this weakness to play its greatest role, how could Jian Zhengtian be willing to let it.
After a long while, Jian Zhengtian then said: "As for that secret, to me, it's fine if you don't say it, but after you know it, there's an additional risk that everyone will know about. At that time, the person that Old Man Qin has been trying so hard to protect all these years, might not be able to protect anymore."
Qin Yue said in a low voice: "Liu Yong."
Hearing Qin Yue's call for him again, Liu Yong, who had always been standing guard behind him, immediately went forward and rubbed his hands together.
"Don't, don't, don't, don't??" Jian Zhengtian raised his hands in surrender, "I really can't tell you this secret. If you really want to know, then you should ask that good grandpa of yours?? Maybe he should ask Zhan Nianbei, who was in charge of the Jiangbei Military Region. The answer they gave you was definitely much more detailed than what I said."
Qin Yue never thought that he would hear the three words "Zhan Nianbei" at this time. After being slightly stu ed for a moment, and thinking back to what Jian Zhengtian had just said, he quickly came to a decision.
Since this secret was a secret, even if he found out about it from Jian Zhengtian, it might not be true.
Qin Yue asked again, "Then what do you want?"
"What I want is very simple. I want money, I want power, and I also want status??" As he spoke till here, Jian Zhengtian smiled again, "Qin Yue, you have all these things, but as for whether you agree to give them to me, that will depend on how important Jian Ran is in your heart."
"In the afternoon, before entering, I called Jian Ran and told him that you were going to the capital to take care of some matters." Qin Yue did not continue pursuing the matter with Jian Zhengtian. Instead, he gave Jian Zhengtian another mission.
"What are you trying to do?" Although he knew that Qin Yue did not dare to kill him, but after being treated like that, Jian Zhengtian's anger had weakened a lot.
This sort of violent torture, aside from being able to keep his life, was far more painful than death. He wasn't an idiot. Even though he knew that he would suffer if he fought head on, he still had to endure when the time came.
By the time he got what he wanted, the Jane family had returned to its former glory. At that time, who would think that they treated him like this?
"Don't you want money, power, and status?" Qin Yue looked at Jian Zhengtian like he was looking at a clown, "I'll give you what you want, as long as you obediently do as I tell you to."
To Qin Yue, things like power and money were not really that important, and were even less worth mentioning than Jian Ran.
Jian Zhengtian wanted these things, so he was kind and good enough to give Jian Zhengtian some.
As for whether or not he could defend, it would depend on how capable Jian Zhengtian was.
Jian Ran "disappeared" for a day before returning to the company to work. She continued to receive a bunch of roses.
Under the envious gaze of her colleagues, she carried the rose back to her office.
Knowing that the flowers were not Qin Yue's gift and knowing that the words written by were not, on the other hand, written by him, Jian Ran did not reject it as much.
Instead, she wanted to see who was playing tricks on her, to see what else that person could write that would make anyone lose their skin.
Thus, Jian Ran opened it and read.
The card was still filled with a poem, but the handwriting was more sonorous than it had been before. It looked more like the handwriting of a man.
[Before You
The world is quiet and unlonely
After you
The world is noisy, and the world is barren. ]
No signature.
After reading this poem, Jian Ran's heart pounded on her heart, as if she was going to knock a hole and run out.
Her exquisite and beautiful face turned crimson, just like the sunset. Her beauty was mesmerizing.
This flower should not have been given to her by the person who teased her, but other than that, the only person she could think of to give her a flower was Qin Yue.
Qin Yue!
How could this man move her calm heart so lightly?
This was a feeling she hadn't experienced in the past three years. Just by listening to him talk, her heart seemed to no longer belong to her.
"Jian Ran!"
Cheng Ye's voice suddenly came from the entrance of the office. Instinctively, Jian Ran hid the card behind her back and laughed awkwardly: "Good morning, Cheng Tun!"
Cheng Ye looked at her and asked with concern: "Are you alright? If there's anything else you feel uncomfortable about, then go home and rest for two more days, before coming back to work."
"Cheng Tun, I'm fine."
Jian Ran was baffled when she heard it, when did her body become so bad? Even if it wasn't good, it was a common problem and there was no need to rest.
Cheng Ye said: "You didn't come to work yesterday, and I couldn't get through to your phone, so I called your father's phone to ask. He said you were sick and forgot to call the company because you were in a hurry."
"Oh, I'm fine." She even wanted her father to help him lie, and her superior was so concerned about him, Jian Ran was so embarrassed that she couldn't show her face.
"It's good that you're fine." Cheng Ye laughed, her gaze never left the flowers on Jian Ran's desk. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't, nodding towards Jian Ran before leaving.
Jian Ran's thoughts were simple, and she did not see anything from Cheng Ye's eyes. After placing the flowers properly, she began to work.
Recently, she was in charge of Qin Yue's order, but she also understood that Qin Yue didn't really want to find her to design clothes, it was just that she looked like his wife, and he found a reason to get close to her.
Since Qin Yue was not in a hurry with his orders, Jian Ran took the opportunity to design a few sets of children's clothes during work hours.
Xiao Ranran had given her a protective talisman, and she had wanted to give him a present as well. But Xiao Ranran didn't lack anything, so she thought of herself designing, cutting and sewing a few sets of clothes.
Even though the gift was light, it was still a token of her appreciation to Xiao Ranran.
Just as Jian Ran was busy drawing the design draft, so busy that she did not even have time to drink the water, her phone on the table suddenly rang.
Looking at the phone number that was displayed on the screen, Jian Ran unconsciously raised her eyebrows and smiled gently: "Hello?"
"What are you doing?"
Qin Yue's low and sexy voice travelled into her ears.
"I'm at work."
"What do you want for lunch? I'll have someone prepare them in advance."
He asked her so directly, it was impossible to refuse, but?? but she never agreed to eat with him.
