Reaching out, he took a piece of apple from the coffee table and stuffed it into Su Junyan's mouth. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "Shut up, do you understand?"
Su Junyan coughed twice, took the apple in his mouth, and took a bite. They were both people who knew each other very well. Of course, he was also clear about Lan Ruoran's matter. Ji Yang was even more clear about it. Hence, he did not hold back and said bluntly, "It's not a problem for me to shut up, but … can you really hide it? I'm thinking now, if one day you kick Lu Yihan out of the Lu Clan, will Lan Ruoran come back to look for you? "
Qin Fangang's lips curled into a cold smile. "She has the cheek to look for me?"
Not intending to continue this uncomfortable topic, Qin Fangang propped his chin with one hand and took a puff of his cigarette. Flicking away the ash, he asked Ji Yang, "Can you confirm who called?"
"… Well, I can't be sure, but the hotel's room service staff said that the argument they heard belonged to two women. There was no man's voice, so I'm guessing that it should be Lan Ruoran."
Qin Fangang nodded. "Ji Yang, find the newspaper with the best sales in D City tomorrow about the matter I asked you to investigate in England. Provide them with some clues."
Ji Yang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood. He nodded. "Yes, Boss Qin. I'll do it now."
…
The moment Ji Yang left, Su Junyan leaned forward again with a gossipy expression. "Fan Gang, this time … you're serious? Is that Leng Xinyu really that attractive to you? "
"Does that Mu Chenchu attract you?"
Qin Fangang chuckled and pointed at the phone in Su Junyan's hand. When he leaned over, he accidentally pressed the home button on the phone, and the screen automatically lit up. On the screen saver was a photo of a man forcefully clasping a woman's neck and kissing her.
Although he could only see the back of the woman, it was impossible for Qin Fangang not to recognize that the woman was Mu Chenchu even though he had only seen her a few times.
"It seems that bringing her on a business trip this time is the right time, place and people."
A trace of awkwardness flashed across Su Junyan's handsome face. Too embarrassed to hide the phone, he simply placed it on the coffee table. Raising an eyebrow, he said stubbornly, "Women are so troublesome. She was the one who insisted that I put this up. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so bored."
Qin Fangang smiled but did not say anything. His eyes were clearly saying, "You are lying."
Su Junyan felt even more embarrassed under his gaze. How rare was it that the young master of the Su family, who had been through thousands of flowers and had never been touched by a single leaf, would become so anxious and uneasy because of a woman?
Was love a poison or an antidote?
Who could say for sure?
Qin Fangang had a lot of things to deal with now, so he did not waste too much time on Su Junyan and Mu Chenchu. After all, that was their own business. He knew Su Junyan very well. He was used to being frivolous, but if this young master Su could put a woman's photo on his phone screen, it must have moved his heart.
He raised an eyebrow and got up. "Continue looking at the photo!
"…"
It was only when the man closed the door of the private room that Su Junyan cried out in exasperation …
Mu Chenchu did not come back that night. Xin Yu casually made some food and read the news. She also did some research on mental disorders. At around 9 o 'clock, she went to bed and slept. She had a dreamless night. When she woke up the next day, she was woken up by the ringtone of her cell phone. She opened her eyes in a daze and picked up the phone on the bedside table. Without even looking at the number, Xin Yu pressed the call button.
"Hello …" She had just woken up and her voice was thick with sleepiness.
"I'm at the entrance of your apartment. Open the door for me." On the other end of the line was a man's voice that Xin Yu was familiar with. It was deep and pleasant to the ears.
Xin Yu's sleepiness was instantly jolted awake. She struggled to sit up in bed and looked around. She was in Mu Chenchu's apartment. The man on the phone was Qin Fangang. Did he just say that he was at the entrance?
Xin Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "… Is there something you need?"
"There's something," the man said concisely.
…
Although it was just a simple word, from his tone, it really sounded like there was something important. He was already at the door. Xin Yu knew this man's domineering personality too well. Hence, even if she did not want to let him in, it was impossible.
After hanging up the phone, Xin Yu washed up briefly. She did not even have time to tie up her long black hair. She casually put on a set of home clothes and ran to open the door.
Qin Fangang was standing at the entrance of the apartment in a formal black suit. He had one hand in the pocket of his trousers and the other holding a yellow folder. There was a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. The way he smoked with narrowed eyes was too sexy.
In this world, there were many strange things, strange feelings, and strange people.
In the past, she had never thought that a man could be so seductive when he smoked. However, a special existence like Qin Fangang completely overturned her initial assumptions.
There was a kind of person who, no matter where they stood, what they did, or what they did, seemed to be the most beautiful scenery. They had a charm that could easily move people's hearts.
"Open the door."
Qin Fangang took a drag of the cigarette. He pinched the cigarette butt and threw it into the bin beside him. He reached out with two slender fingers and tapped on the door.
Xin Yu thought about it. After all, this was Mu Chenchu's apartment. If she wasn't home, it wouldn't be right for her to let Qin Fangang in so casually. After some thought, she said cautiously, "Chenchen isn't home. It wouldn't be convenient for you to come in. Why don't you …"
"Why would it be inconvenient?"
On the contrary, Qin Fangang laughed. His long, straight eyebrows raised slightly. His exquisite features were tinged with a hint of devilish charm. "Xin Yu, what inconvenient thing are you thinking about?"
"…"
Xin Yu's face suddenly turned red. She furrowed her brows and said, "… Qin Fangang!"
"Be good. Hurry up and open the door." He used a coaxing tone to interrupt her angry words. His deep gaze was exceptionally gentle as he said slowly, "Even if I really want to do something inconvenient to you, do you really think that I can't do it if you close the door?"
"…"
"Don't worry, I won't touch you today. I have something to tell you. Open the door and let me in."
Xin Yu felt that she might really be overthinking. Moreover, every word she said seemed to have a different meaning when it came to him. She couldn't win against him in an argument and knew that she couldn't stop him from wanting to come in. In the end, she still opened the door.
She opened a path for Qin Fangang to enter.
He strode in with his long legs and closed the door behind him. The moment Xin Yu turned around, Qin Fangang grabbed her wrist and turned her face to face him. His long fingers brushed away the loose strands of hair on her face as he narrowed his eyes to take a closer look.
Xin Yu was a little embarrassed. She knew that he was looking at her injury and instinctively wanted to avoid him.
Qin Fangang's actions were forceful and didn't allow her to avoid him at all. He tightened his grip on her, but it didn't hurt her. He moved closer to her cheek. In an instant, she could smell his strong masculine scent. Xin Yu instinctively tilted her neck back. Qin Fangang's deep voice was just inches away. "Does it still hurt?"
"…"
"Hmm?"
"… It's okay."
"When I hit you, even if you don't know how to fight back, you should know how to stop it. Such a beautiful little face isn't born to be hit by others, do you understand?" As he spoke, his thin lips moved and his hot breath filled her nostrils. His deep voice was calm, but he didn't lose his drive to guide her. "Next time, don't make yourself suffer like this. You have to remember that no one in this world can hit you as they wish. So, you can use all your strength to fight back."
Xin Yu's heart trembled violently. This feeling was not only brought to her by his words, but also by his strong masculine scent. She always felt that this man affected her emotions too easily. Every word that came out of his mouth, even if it didn't make sense, seemed to be tainted with Qin Fangang's unique charm. It made it impossible for her to reject the meaning behind his words.
"… Indeed, no one wants to be hit, but whether or not they can stop it depends on the person's ability. I don't want anyone to hit me, but sometimes, I'm just an insignificant person. Others have someone backing them up, so a slap to my face is nothing."
"The 'others' you're talking about are Lan Ruoran, and the person backing her is Lu Yihan?"
Qin Fangang's cool fingers gently caressed her cheek. Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips, a little annoyed with herself for saying those words just now. It sounded like she was acting coquettishly in front of him, but she couldn't take back her words. And obviously, her words just now, when they reached Qin Fangang's ears, did indeed sound like she was acting coquettishly.
The smile on his handsome face deepened. His thin lips curved slightly, bringing out a beautiful arc. Holding the yellow folder, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. "Don't you still have me? Leng Xinyu, you're Qin Fangang's woman. That's why I said that no one in this world can touch you. I'm also backing you up, remember? "
"…"
Humans were such vain and emotional creatures.
In front of a man as dazzling as the stars, hugging you and using a domineering yet gentle tone to say to you, "You're my woman, I'm backing you up" … No woman wouldn't be moved.
He was too outstanding, but such an outstanding man was willing to lower his status in front of her …
Xin Yu wasn't a cold-blooded animal. She knew that she had already lost her last line of defense. She worked so hard to hold on to her last line of defense. Faced with his powerful attacks, how long could she hold on?
I beg you, Qin Fangang, don't be so nice to me. I'm really scared … scared that I won't be able to hold back, that I won't be able to hold on to you and never let go.
But she was Leng Xinyu. To her, any man in this world was a luxury. Then this Qin Fangang, to her, Leng Xinyu, wasn't just a luxury …
