Chapter 49: Coaxing Jiang

In the hidden room, the walls were plastered with countless photos of Qin Jiang, and the ornaments in the room were various vividly lifelike dolls.

Their skins looked as smooth and lively as real people, and pair after pair of glassy, translucent eyes all looked toward the door.

As if they were meeting his gaze.

Qin Jiang’s every move was under Yan Liang’s watch. The moment she saw him open the entrance to the hidden room, a flicker of panic shone in Yan Liang’s eyes.

But she quickly composed herself and rose to walk toward Qin Jiang.

“Jiang, what’s wrong?”

“This room was according to my instructions to Zhou Ning and I haven’t even seen it myself yet. Is there any problem?” Yan Liang said as she stepped closer.

Zhou Ning: Wait, what? ME?!

Qin Jiang felt that at that moment, he could almost hear the woman’s heartbeat racing out of rhythm.

“N…no problem.”

“You can tell Assistant Zhou really wants a promotion and raise. He’s nailed Yanyan’s preferences.”

Qin Jiang was pretty sure he was right.

After all, what did Yan Liang love the most… it was him, Qin Jiang!

“Mm, looks like you’re tired too.”

“Sleep with me for a while, okay?”

Yan Liang handled documents efficiently. By now, she had already processed the most important files and handed them to Zhou Ning.

She could conveniently free up her hands… to exchange for some quality time with Qin Jiang.

Saying that, she curled her soft body unreservedly around him, pressing close as her arms shamelessly wrapped around his firm waist.

“Jiang, spend time with me.”

“Let me truly understand you, okay?”

Yan Liang’s tone carried an urgent dominance. To her, what Qin Jiang had discovered now was the deepest, most hidden terror of her heart.

She was afraid of scaring him, yet for some reason… that made her even more excited.

Qin Jiang had come to know another, truer part of her.

But so what if he was scared? She would simply go all out to possess him for herself.

Keeping him busy so he had no time to overthink would also count as letting Qin Jiang further understand a part of her.

Yan Liang pulled Qin Jiang into the room.

The hidden bookshelf cabinet closed, the room grew dim, and Qin Jiang’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he grew flustered.

“A-Aunt Yan Liang, did you take all these photos?”

Nervous, Qin Jiang spoke without thinking.

In his past life, the fear of Yan Liang had long taken root in him, and he had convinced himself countless times that Yan Liang was his elder, since she was technically Bai Chuchu’s aunt.

Deep down, he had always placed her in the elder position of ‘aunt’ and respected her as such.

So, he had once been full of guilt for being with her.

His morals would not allow him to have no boundary..

His reason wouldn’t permit him to fall into disgrace and surrender.

After realizing he’d said the wrong thing, Qin Jiang felt like he could hear a beep in his head, like a heart monitor that just flatlined.

Uh oh.

He’d stepped on one of Yan Liang’s landmines again!

But this time Yan Liang didn’t get angry. Instead, she seemed to be in a good mood as she pushed him onto the room’s sofa and straddled him with her long legs.

“Shh……”

“I took them all.”

“Even if my baby is scared, Jiang won’t get to escape this time.”

With the familiar clink of chains, Qin Jiang felt his wrist tighten as the chain clasp snapped into place.

Both his hands and feet were bound.

Qin Jiang was completely numb.

Good heavens, after calming his yandere wife for so many days… he was back to square one in a single night?

…

Qin Jiang was photographed again.

But this time the photos showed him paler, with mottled marks and bruises on his neck and chest.

He could no longer hold on and sank into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.

He had actually slept a whole night in Miss Yan’s office?

Qin Jiang propped up his weakened body.

He opened the electric curtains, letting bright sunlight completely fill the little room.

As if this could cleanse, at the root, the unknown things Yan Liang had imposed on him last night.

Miss Yan was indeed too crazy.

But for him it was also an excellent new experience.

Qin Jiang sat up wearily. The spot beside him had lost its warmth, so it seemed Miss Yan had left some time ago.

Qin Jiang glanced sideways and his gaze fell on a familiar black card on the bedside table.

He moved closer and reached out to take it.

To his surprise, he realized there wasn’t just one, but ten… ten??!

A small note was placed beside them.

From the bold, domineering strokes, it was clear Yan Liang had written it herself.

[Jiang, I lost control last night, I’m sorry for hurting you. I know the black card I gave you last time was cut up by you.

These ten are newly issued, so this time you can cut as many as you like—each one has already been activated. As my husband, you have the right to use them.

Of course, I’ve restricted the black card’s private plane purchasing privileges. You can spend freely on everything else.

As long as you don’t leave, whatever compensation you want… I’ll satisfy you.

——Love, Yan Liang]

Qin Jiang looked at the awkward cutesy doodle she had drawn next to her signature and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Who could imagine the cold, domineering, pathological yandere heiress could actually be cutesy toward her husband??

The gap between her domineering self and her cute self was huge! He couldn’t stop grinning.

Qin Jiang certainly wouldn’t blame Yan Liang for her loss of control.

After all, as a man—ahem, ahem, speaking honestly—he wasn’t the only one who enjoyed last night.

He clearly enjoyed it even more…

Thinking that, Qin Jiang’s ears flushed again.

Gosh The taste of being desired by a yandere heiress—only those chosen would know.

Qin Jiang held the ten black cards in his hand.

He hadn’t expected that after he cut one up, Yan Liang would so lavishly give him ten more.

But he had no reason to refuse these ten black cards.

After all, Yan Group had already been forcefully linked to him by Yan Liang. His future path was destined to be anything but calm and ordinary.

With that thought, he tucked the black cards into his pocket.

Then he got up to shower and opened the wardrobe. It turned out a fully decked out closet had been prepared for him, each outfit coordinated and tailored to his body for a slim fit.

One had to say, Yan Liang’s aesthetic and taste were indeed impressive.

Previously, to make her dislike him, he had desperately worn tacky, flashy clothes. But in reality, those tight tops and pants weren’t comfortable at all.

The Chelsea boots and loafers were even worse… they pinched his feet!!

Now he didn’t need to pretend, so he’d be as handsome as possible.

He fiddled in the room for half an hour and put on a casual suit today. The fabric felt good.

It matched his temperament too. Being handsome was effortless.

He was about to go out when the door opened. Qin Jiang looked up to see Yan Liang had changed into a silk blouse and an off-white pencil skirt professional outfit.

Nude stockings and matching heels made her appear poised and capable, with a hint of gentle jade-like grace.

Yan Liang entered the room carrying a bowl of lotus-seed soup.

The instant she saw Qin Jiang, her eyes brightened, then as if remembering something she looked down guiltily.

“Jiang, you’re hungry, right?”

“I made… I ordered breakfast. Try it and see if it suits your taste?”

Miss Yan, who never got her hands dirty, still had one hand bandaged from her previous injury.

Now she held a small bowl, her expression surprisingly obedient as she secretly watched him.

Her hands bore calluses, but anyone who knew would understand those weren’t from ordinary labor—they were the kind formed from long-term use of guns and knives.

Qin Jiang instantly softened.

With someone he loved… he ultimately couldn’t stay angry.

However, he felt that he could not indulge in such behavior too often.

He’s a man, not a perpetual motion machine.

“I’m not hungry.”

So he resolved to let Yan Liang know that he cared a lot about what happened the night before.

Occasionally was fine, but not often.

Otherwise he’d be in the mortuary within a week.

“You fed me so much last night, how could I be hungry?”

Yan Liang hung her head. She had really gone too far.

How should she coax Qin Jiang?

That was the one thing she didn’t really know how to do. She…only knew one way of coaxing…
