Chapter 48: What Are You Afraid Of? I Won’t Eat You

Yan Zuo urged his driver to tail Yan Liang’s car, and he tailed her car all the way to the Yan Group building.

He watched in disbelief as his sister openly admitted Qin Jiang’s identity and even brought him into the building.

Was she giving everything away for free?

But Qin Jiang was just a pretty face!

What right did he have to attain Yan Group’s assets?

Moreover, as far as Yan Zuo was concerned, he was the only person in this world who truly cared about his sister. He felt that Qin Jiang didn’t deserve it and must not be allowed any chance to enter the Group.

He was certain that Qin Jiang would ruin his sister and the entire Yan Group.

After Yan Zuo witnessed it all, he couldn’t help but grab his phone to record the scene of Qin Jiang and Yan Liang together, and sent it to a man he hadn’t contacted in a long time but who was enough to make both him and Yan Liang uneasy.

Yan Han.

He was Yan Liang’s biological older brother, and the only person in the Yan Group who could still make her wary.

Of course, although Yan Han was now disabled, yet two years ago he survived at the hands of the crazed Yan Liang, a woman who nearly killed their parents. At the end of the ordeal, he only lost a leg. So, he must possess something terrifying.

What made him even more fearsome was that there’s an even more terrifying presence behind him.

A presence that could make the already unhinged Yan Liang regain some sanity and spare his life…

Yan Zuo didn’t expect such a quick reply to the message he had just sent.

The man’s low, hoarse voice hummed like a demon, “Zuo, don’t try to monitor or control Yan Liang’s choices. The consequences are uncontrollable.”

“Yan Liang has her own principles when doing things.”

“She only loses reason when it comes to this man. I advise you not to touch the man she has marked as her private possession.”

“You haven’t seen her when she goes mad, but if you touch him… I guess if you have nine lives, you could take a look for yourself.“

The man’s tone was casual, with a hint of teasing.

He sounded like a superior who couldn’t care less, though rumors said he was on the losing side and should be the one begging for Yan Liang’s mercy.

Yan Han never cared about rumors.

At this moment he sat in a wheelchair, his gaze fixed on the projection of Yan Liang and Qin Jiang walking hand in hand into the Yan Group building.

Yan Han’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could read lips.

He had already translated the dialogue between Qin Jiang and Yan Liang in his head.

Tsk, has our usually cold-hearted Liang learned to love someone?

And she’s willing to stake the entire Yan Group?

He’s only a fairly decent-looking young man, yet he makes Liang go mad for him?

Interesting, truly interesting.

Though his words urged Yan Zuo not to bring trouble on himself, he had already sent Yan Liang a text.

[Liang, you haven’t returned to the old manor in a long time. Grandpa is gravely ill and misses you. Arrange a time to come back and bring your new pet for everyone to see.]

The message was full of mockery and contempt.

A man cherished in Yan Liang’s palm was ridiculed by Yan Han as a mere pet…

In the complicated, centuries-old Yan family of financial tycoons, no one truly respected Qin Jiang.

Of course, Yan Liang didn’t need anyone at the old manor to approve of the one she loved.

Since she was thirteen, when her doting, kindly-faced biological father threw her into that inhumane organization, she had long understood that the Yan family’s bonds and affection were nothing but a joke.

She no longer needed anyone to boss her around when it came to her life and her choices.

Meanwhile, inside the Yan family’s old manor.

Old Master Yan sat in a sandalwood chair, looking at the photos his grandson personally sent to his phone.

His gaze rested faintly on Yan Liang’s flawless face. The old man was elderly and a bit farsighted, so he slowly reached for his glasses to inspect closely.

After a long while he sighed and said, “Sigh… if Yan Yue were still alive, she would probably have grown up just as graceful as Little Liang, right?”

“It’s been months—why hasn’t Little Liang come back to the old manor to see this old man?”

“Who’s the person by her side? He’s quite handsome and seems to suit her—if they’ve settled down, she should bring him home for Grandpa to take a look at him.”

As the former head of the Yan family who had stepped back decades ago, Old Master Yan had always lived a secluded life.

Using frailty as an excuse, he refused many visitors hoping to stir up internal Yan family conflicts.

Now his health was increasingly worse than before.

He appeared to be a kind, benevolent old man.

In reality, only those who knew his nature understood that the reason Old Master Yan could still calmly remain at the old manor… was because he was likely the smartest and most calculating person in this chaotic tycoon family.

“Old Master, Young Mistress has already gotten married as you had arranged.”

“Although the previous seven sons-in-law were unfortunate and died, this eighth new son-in-law seems to suit Miss Liang’s tastes.”

“His name is Qin Jiang. His status is ordinary, but he’s young and healthy—he’ll likely let you hold great-grandchildren soon.”

“Miss Liang is luckier than Miss Yue… she will surely add more heirs to the Yan bloodline.”

The old butler stood nearby, his eyes clouded, expression grim.

The Yan family’s old manor was nothing but a grand, ornate cage.

Yan Liang had personally locked this beast inside it.

Exactly to torment him.

But how could a beast ever be content to stay in a cage forever?

The women of the Yan family were cursed to die before 25.

Calculating the time… letting Yan Liang join her sister on the other side early might not be a bad idea.

“Mm, Liang is hot-tempered. If she has a child, she might behave better.”

“Once a woman becomes a mother, she won’t be so violent and fierce anymore!”

…

Inside the Yan Group’s top-floor office.

As soon as the door closed, Yan Liang pushed Qin Jiang to her spacious sandalwood desk. Her professional attire accentuated an intense, seductive elegance.

The domineering, aloof CEO had in an instant transformed into a teasing temptress.

Yan Liang leaned close to Qin Jiang, her gaze slowly sweeping over him and landing at his waist…

Then she reached out as if in the next moment she would bind him within her snare.

“Yan… Yanyan, what are you trying to do?”

This is really not a good place for doing this sort of thing!

Also, Qin Jiang wasn’t naive—he heard that a CEO’s office usually had a hidden room for the CEO to rest.

Wouldn’t that be much safer and more private than being lovey-dovey out in the cold, austere office area?

“Tsk, what are you afraid of?”

“Relax, I won’t eat you.”

Yan Liang drew near, slipped her hand around his waist, and took a fingerprint recorder from the desk behind him.

Qin Jiang exhaled, but a faint trace of disappointment seemed to pass over him.

Ahem! Well…he must have been asked for too much lately.

So he was constantly on edge.

He always imagined… Yanyan would take him at any time, anywhere.

His thoughts were really filthy!

But was Miss Yan truly that pure?

Yan Liang took the recorder, recorded Qin Jiang’s fingerprints herself, and as she stared at the whorls of his fingertip, she even wanted to…

She licked her lips, suppressing her excitement.

“Yanyan, you go ahead with your work first.”

“No need to specially take care of me. I’ll stay in the office and wait for you.”

“Today my time belongs to you—how about I be your assistant for the day?”

Qin Jiang offered the suggestion.

He was bored just waiting around. He needed to find something to do.

Yan Liang was extremely strict about work. Earlier, she had left many documents unsigned just to see Qin Jiang, so she nodded and agreed.

“Fine, but don’t leave my line of sight.”

Yan Liang said it. This was her bottom line.

Once she sensed a trace of warmth, Yan Liang would cling like a creeping vine in a gutter, sucking from him desperately, wishing to become one with him!

Qin Jiang agreed.

The CEO’s office had everything. He didn’t even need to go out to make Yan Liang coffee.

Soon, Qin Jiang grew bored again.

He decided to pick a book from the shelf, but the next moment his hand slipped and hit a hidden button of sorts.

Immediately, the bookshelf split in two and opened automatically…

All those novels about domineering CEOs were right after all.

It was true that a CEO’s office would have a hidden room. But this…clearly wasn’t for anyone to rest in. This was a disturbing room!

Inside, the whole room was plastered with so many photos of him—eating and playing ball at school, concentrating in class and dozing off, speaking confidently at club activities…

There were even topless photos of him sweating profusely at the gym!

Photos of him bound and tortured by Yan Liang at Liangyue Manor until he fell asleep from exhaustion!!

And after their wedding night, him completely exposed with nothing to cover himself…

Qin Jiang’s face paled. His scalp tingled and his breathing felt constricted.

The inner mind of a yandere was… utterly deranged!!!
