Her eyes are everywhere, and even if they are not open, someone will notice them.

"Of course there is more to it than that."

Pei Yuchen changed the subject: "Also, the elders asked me to tell you that you should go back after the mission is over. Many people are waiting for you to hand over, but due to the rules, they can't contact you, you know."

"What did they say?"

Qi Yan leaned against the back of the sofa, a subtle look of annoyance appearing on his face.

You don't have to think about it to know that it's all nonsense.

"They asked you to break up." Pei Yuchen said bluntly.

Sure enough, Qi Yan, who was already impatient, looked two shades darker.

He continued to throw grenades fearlessly.

"After a meeting, the Council of Elders unanimously decided that they disagree with your partner selection and have selected young men of appropriate age from several other families as candidates for the next family head's partner."

As he spoke, Pei Yuchen handed another list to her desk and pointed to the first name on the list.

"Of course I'm the first one."

Qi Yan: “…”

"Xiaoyan, I am your adjutant. If you marry me, the two of us will be the perfect match."

Pei Yuchen said: "We are the most suitable to stand side by side..."

At this time, Qi Yan suddenly raised her eyes and said, "I'm looking for a partner, not a subordinate."

She doesn't need anyone to be her equal, because no one around can be her equal.

Pei Yuchen choked up and slapped the roster shut, "Then there's no need to look at it, they're all your subordinates."

Just because he doesn't like that pretty boy doesn't mean he can tolerate others.

Among this group of people, no one can compare to him in terms of family background or strength.

Qi Yan hadn't planned to read it: "Are you done? If you're done, I'll leave."

"I'm not finished yet."

Just as she was about to stand up, Pei Yuchen stopped her again, "The Elders' Council also said that they would not agree to you taking people back to Qishan."

"...You ask them," Qi Yan opened his eyes lazily, "Whose surname is Qi Shan?"

A feeling of oppression that she had not felt for a long time came from her. The elegant coffee shop sofa chair was like a throne under her. Even Pei Yuchen, who had known her for many years, couldn't help swallowing.

"Even so, there will be resistance in taking him back. Can you keep him by your side for 24 hours?"

Qi Yan did not answer this question, and looked at him with a very indifferent look: "Isn't it too ugly for the Elders to want to further control the main family?"

"!"

Pei Yuchen's pupils trembled suddenly, and he quickly raised his hand to signal her to stop talking.

"How dare you say anything? We are outside!"

Qi Yan didn't care: "This is my shop."

"?"

"Why would you buy a coffee shop?"

"Shen Rao's employees will come to drink."

"??"

"Is this related?"

"It will be convenient for me to place someone to monitor his every move." Qi Yan did not hide it.

"???"

Pei Yuchen's pupils trembled so much that he almost lost his sight, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and tried to get the topic back on track.

"You misunderstood. The Elders Council definitely did not mean that. They wanted mutual benefit."

Qi Yan declined to comment, "I don't need them to get so mad just because I'm getting married."

"From the perspective of family interests, your marriage is of no benefit at all. This is the issue that the Elders Council attaches the most importance to."

Pei Yuchen said seriously: "Qi Yan, you also know that the partners of the previous family heads have similar backgrounds and share the same beliefs, which can lead to stability."

"And you," he pointed at Qi Yan, then at the top floor of the towering Shen's Building, "are from completely different worlds from him. Why do you think he is trustworthy enough?"

If he didn't have love for Qi Yan, he still had faith and family ties. Shen Rao had nothing but illusory "love". He was too untrustworthy.

'Betrayal' is a lesson that all of them must learn and an inevitable reality.

"Why should I trust him?"

"what?"

Qi Yan's question left Pei Yuchen confused.

"He doesn't need to be trustworthy or advantageous," Qi Yan added slowly, "... He just needs to be alive."

"..."

This was a strange statement, but Pei Yuchen understood it.

Does this mean that as long as the pretty boy can breathe, he doesn't mind betraying her?

Thinking of this, Pei Yuchen's face turned green with anger.

"Are you in love now? Do you know how serious it is for you to act stupidly at this special time?!"

"Silly?" Qi Yan smiled casually, "If you think so, then so be it."

After she finished speaking, she stood up from her seat and said, "Now that I'm done, I'll leave first. Tell the Elders Council that I won't listen to a word they say."

"Qi Yan." Pei Yuchen called her.

Qi Yantou didn't reply either.

"If Shen Rao betrays you, will you give up on him?" he suddenly blurted out.

"..."

Qi Yan paused, looked at him sideways, and spoke calmly, word by word.

"I do not know."

At that time, she said she didn't know, but now Qi Yan can answer this question again.

That is: No.

In the evening, the setting sun sets in the west.

It was already time for Shen's company to get off work, and employees were leaving one after another.

The CEO's office on the top floor is dimly lit. A floor lamp is shining on the desk, and documents are scattered on the huge desk.

Shen Rao, who stayed behind to work overtime, held the tip of the pen and drew trembling diagonal lines on the paper. He turned his head with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice.

"...Qi Yan...I'm working..."

"You don't have to worry about me."

Qi Yan wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, clinging to him stickily.

The newly put on bow tie had already come loose, the expensive shirt was wrinkled, and the well-defined collarbone was exposed to the air.

She lowered her long eyelashes and occasionally opened her mouth to bite his neck, leaving only fine teeth marks.

"..."

Shen Rao took a deep breath, suppressed the trembling of his body, and coaxed her in a gentle voice.

"Can you wait until I finish signing the contract?"

"No."

Qi Yan refused straightforwardly, biting the back of his neck and said vaguely: "No delay, just sign yours."

I kiss mine.

"..."

What's not delayed? ! !

Shen Rao was angry.

Scold her?

Reluctant.

Push her away?

Even more reluctant.

What can I do?

Bear with it!

Shen Rao continued to sign with his nerves tense, but his nerves broke when Qi Yan bit and kissed him while her hand slid down.

"...Qi Yan..."

His chest heaved violently, his hands on the table were clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, the base of his ears were burning red with no trace of the underlying color, and his back was stiff and slightly hunched.

Qi Yan kissed his cheek and asked knowingly.

"Why don't you continue signing? You can't leave work until you finish this."

Shen Rao's deep black eyes gradually became damp and muddy, his thin lips trembled, and he spoke with sobs.

"You... stop messing around... let me go..."

"Don't let it go."

Qi Yan kissed the corners of his red eyes, her serious voice without any lust, but the words she said had nothing to do with "seriousness".

"I'm helping you. You work on top and I work on the bottom."
