Qin Jiang coldly hung up the phone. He stood by the master bedroom’s French windows, the turbulent emotions in his eyes refusing to calm for a long time.
It wasn’t that he still clung to any affection for the Qin family. It was just that at this moment he secretly wished he had no relation to the family at all—how great that would be.
His adoptive parents had been no more than a pair of rural villagers, but at least they loved him as a son and gave him the familial affection he’d never experienced from his supposedly biological family.
He only regretted that he’d always been like a beggar in the Qin family, kneeling and begging for so long… only to end up with a body full of insults and scars.
Not worth it at all!
Of course, this feeling of being undervalued would also become the driving force for him to push the entire Qin family into the abyss.
Some people are born human, yet are unworthy of being parents!
…
Coming to his senses, Qin Jiang went to the study, organized his design plans into a document, and directly sent it to Yan Liang, who was working.
At that moment, Yan Liang was in a video conference.
The rule that Qin Jiang could come and go anywhere in Liangyue Manor at will was set by Yan Liang herself.
Hearing the sound at the door, Yan Liang lifted her eyes. Her half-closed gaze instantly softened with a gentle glow.
The upper management staff on the other end of the video meeting wondered…did they smell the scent of a bigger year-end bonus again??
“Yanyan, are you tired?”
“I had the kitchen make you a bowl of medicinal stew I personally formulated—beautifying and nourishing for women, very beneficial for your body.”
“It might taste a bit bitter, so I prepared some candied fruit for you.”
Qin Jiang pushed the door open and entered while saying this.
Since he had personally confessed his feelings to Yan Liang, he always felt that Yanyan stared at him like she was constantly seeing at a big, fat piece of meat.
Every inch of her gaze seemed to be shouting to devour him whole!
Qin Jiang hurriedly used work as an excuse and temporarily ushered Yan Liang into the study.
The two quietly worked in spaces where they could see each other. This harmonious, tranquil coexistence made Qin Jiang very content.
But he was constantly concerned about the physical issues Yanyan mentioned.
Worried that pure herbal medicine would be too bitter and the young lady would resist, he switched it to a more palatable medicinal stew.
Yan Liang noticed all of this.
But actually, no matter how bitter the herbs, she could drink them—she had tasted bitterness far worse than anything her taste buds could endure.
But watching Qin Jiang busy himself for her, seeing him carefully choose the medicinal soup, she suddenly had the illusion that Qin Jiang was nurturing her anew.
Only little girls would be afraid of bitterness.
Was Qin Jiang pampering her as if she were a little girl?
However, the feeling she had in her heart was a sweet one.
Yan Liang was enjoying this tremendously.
“Mmm… I want you to feed me.”
Yan Liang reached out and turned the camera away, propping her chin with one hand. Her fair, delicate face tilted up as she looked at Qin Jiang, her gaze fixed and burning.
She was head over heels in love!!
The hand Qin Jiang used to hold the bowl froze for a moment as his gaze fell on the screen where Yan Liang’s video meeting was ongoing.
On the computer screen… the executives in the conference room sat there all solemn and proper.
And it seemed they were all frozen at that moment.
Not one of them moved.
Hmm, the computer seemed to be stuck…did it just hang?
The executives of Yan Group felt exclamation marks going off in their heads.
What did they just hear?!
Their big boss, Ms. Liang, a woman who ruthlessly dominated the market and treated subordinates like mere vegetables to be chopped up and boiled—was at home being gentle and cooing in a silky-soft voice to her husband!!
Moreover, judging from Mr. Qin’s attitude towards Ms. Liang, it seemed Mr. Qin’s status in the family was rather… high?
Heavens! The sky’s falling!!
Ms. Liang was actually obeying a man?
No… impossible. They must have been driven crazy by the workload that Young Mistress Yan had given them.
They’re hallucinating.
But the next moment, Qin Jiang had already sat voluntarily on the leather chair Yan Liang had prepared for him.
He carefully blew on the medicinal stew and took a light sip to test the temperature.
“Hmm… it’s a bit bitter.”
“Yanyan, why don’t you try a piece of the candied fruit first…”
Candied fruit!
Before Qin Jiang finished speaking, Yan Liang had already stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Qin Jiang’s neck, and pressed her soft pink lips to his.
With a smack, she kissed Qin Jiang’s lips that still had a bit of soup on them.
“Mmm, not bitter at all.”
“Jiang’s medicinal stew is clearly sweet.”
“I want to drink it in big gulps.”
Yan Liang’s profile was stunning. Her upward kiss was gentle yet assertive.
When it came to teasing Qin Jiang, she had always skillfully controlled the initiative.
This time, however, she added a tenderness that made Qin Jiang’s heart flutter.
Qin Jiang felt as if his soul was about to be stolen away.
He hurried to hide his loss of control, but the reddening at the tips of his ears betrayed his boyish heart that pounded for Yan Liang.
After that kiss.
Yan Liang picked up the bowl and obediently finished the medicinal stew.
Then she licked her lips.
As if still unsatisfied she asked, “Husband, is that enough?”
“Do you want to continue and have more?”
“I can drink a lot.”
As Yan Liang spoke, her fingertip reached behind Qin Jiang and poked his waist…
While asking that, her clear, bewitching eyes were fixed on his lips as if she could fiercely kiss him at any moment.
This, this… this scene was really a bit thrilling.
This shouldn’t be unfolding during such a serious video conference.
Qin Jiang felt so teased by Yan Liang that even his toes curled.
He quickly reached out to stroke the top of Yan Liang’s head, indulgently smoothing her hair. “Be good now, drinking too much of this medicinal stew isn’t good.”
“You have to nourish your body progressively.”
“Building up your health isn’t something that can be achieved overnight.”
Qin Jiang admonished her seriously, and for a moment it seemed as if he were the master of Liangyue Manor, the ruler of the relationship with Yan Liang…
After all, his yandere wife was unbearably sweet when she behaved.
“Hmm, Jiang is so good to me.”
“I’ll give you a reward.”
“Come, I’ll give you a kiss.”
Yan Liang made no secret of it. Of course, it wasn’t because she was someone who wanted to share these intimate everyday interactions with Qin Jiang with others.
She was extremely selfish.
She hoped that each of Jiang’s reactions to her, each kiss, every loving pat, every time he was devoured by her—could be enjoyed by only her.
But… she had just realized that because the video conference was still on, he was behaving in an extremely reserved and embarrassed manner.
His whole awkward and shy demeanor had completely aroused her urge to tease him.
Hmm… she seemed to have discovered something remarkable.
All the executives on the other end were just shaking in shock.
As far as they knew, they were just emotionless tools to her, each and every one of them.
But… Ms. Liang, Ms. Liang, who would have thought you’re such a daring lecher in private?
After all, this twenty-year-old heiress ruler was famously cold when it came to sex.
In the business world, men who coveted her beauty initially existed, but in the end they either ended up dead, crazy, or disappeared.
Over time, no one dared to make a move on her anymore.
Everyone said she was extraordinarily beautiful and alluring, yet also a venomous, man-eating flower.
But this new man in her life, Mr. Qin, was clearly very different.
Just for having the nerve to serve Ms. Liang… they admired him to the sky.
Smooch~
Yan Liang’s “reward” came on fiercely as she kissed him again.
This time, Qin Jiang was directly pinned down on the leather sofa…
“Jiang, call me ‘little…’
Pak!
The video conference disconnected.
The executives: *&×★＃￡≥＊”…
(They’re cursing quite foully.)
