The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

"That's all." Ji Ran answered simply and was about to hang up the phone.

Chi Tao always waited for Ji Ran to hang up the phone first, but after waiting for two seconds, the phone seemed to have not been hung up yet.

"Hello?" Chi Tao asked tentatively again.

There was still silence on the other end of the line.

"Eh?" Chi Tao looked puzzled and took the phone to check the screen. "You're still on the call? Why is there no sound?"

"Ahem..." Ji Ran pretended to cough on the other end of the line, then said, "By the way, ask for Qin Wenzhou's phone number and send it to me."

"Huh?" Chi Tao was even more confused. Why did he suddenly want a call from Mr. Qin, who had nothing to do with him?

"That's it." Ji Ran said this time and hung up.

Chi Tao looked at the hung-up screen, speechless.

"What do you mean? What does she want the Zeng family kid's phone number for?" Professor Liu looked alert.

"Ah?" Chi Tao guessed that Zeng Yichen might have provided some useful information last time, but she would not tell the two old men.

"How do I know this?"

"Holy crap?" Dean Shen suddenly yelled, "Miss Ji, you don't think she likes that guy?"

"That won't work! Absolutely not!" Professor Liu shouted in horror.

Chi Tao felt as if her ears had been hit by a critical blow and rubbed them quickly. "Oh, that's impossible. How could Professor Ji like stupid men?"

Upon hearing this, the two old men recalled Zeng Yichen's appearance at the same time, and immediately felt that what he said made sense, so they felt relieved.

"What else did she say next?" Professor Liu asked again.

This time, Chi Tao didn't hide anything and answered honestly, "She asked for Qin Wenzhou's phone number."

"Qin Wenzhou?" Professor Liu was confused again. "What's the connection? He's not her project investor."

"Fuck!" Dean Shen seemed to have thought of something unbelievable. "Qin Wenzhou is really smart..."

"You mean..." Professor Liu seemed to have realized something. "That's even worse! Qin Wenzhou could be her father!"

"No..." Chi Tao looked at the two elders speechlessly. She was also convinced.

Oh, I’m too lazy to say.

Chi Tao no longer paid attention to the two old men whose worlds were collapsing. He sneaked out of the office, went to a quiet corner of the stairs, and dialed the phone.

"Beep...beep..."

For some reason, when Chi Tao heard the sound of waiting, her heart beat faster.

"Hello, who is this?" The clean male voice was filled with polite distance.

"Hello, Special Assistant Yin, I am Chi Tao." Chi Tao replied.

"Xiao Chi?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly sounded a little surprised and happy.

The affectionate address instantly shortened the distance between them, and Chi Tao's face unconsciously became hot:

"Hmm! That... maybe it's a bit presumptuous, but Professor Ji has something to discuss with President Qin directly, so I'd like to ask for President Qin's personal number. I wonder if that's convenient..."

"Of course no problem!" Yin Li agreed readily.

Chi Tao was startled.

She had already been thinking about her next words, but she didn't expect it to be so easy. After all, the other party was the only richest man in China whose net worth had recently surpassed Jiang Sheng by a large margin...

Could it be that Special Assistant Yin gave the green light for Chi Tao?

"Okay! Thank you!" Chi Tao thanked excitedly.

Listening to the other party's high-pitched voice, Yin Li seemed to see the bright smile on the girl's face. He smiled and replied, "You're welcome. I'll send it to you right away."

"Yeah! Goodbye then." Chi Tao replied.

"Goodbye, Xiaochi." Yin Li also replied.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Tao couldn't help jumping on the spot, unaware that the throbbing curve at the corner of her mouth had not dissipated for a long time.

Soon, Yin Li sent Qin Wenzhou's phone numbers at home and abroad, and Chi Tao also quickly sent the number along with Zeng Yichen's number to Ji Ran.

After sending it, she still looked at the call log with some reluctance.

giao~ Special Assistant Yin actually risked being scolded by his boss to give her the green light. Could it be that he likes her?

"Hehe..." Chi Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ji Ran, who was already sitting at the dining table waiting for dinner, received the message.

She was also a little surprised by the speed, but she didn't think too much about it. She just looked at the phone and then looked at the back of the man who was cooking.

"Qi Mu..." Ji Ran asked nervously, "You won't be angry, will you?"

Qi Mu turned his head and asked doubtfully, "Angry?"

"Well...that is...if I want to use Zeng Yichen to get close to Zeng Nian, then I may have to pretend that I have something going on with him..." Ji Ran explained, looking weak and helpless.

Hearing this, the man pretended to sigh and turned back dejectedly.

Ji Ran was startled and quickly got up from the chair. He ran to Qi Mu and grabbed his arm anxiously, "Then I'll stay away from him! I'll think of another way!"

Qi Mu couldn't help laughing, pulled his arm back, and took her in his arms: "Silly girl, why are you angry?"

She took the risk for him, so how could he be angry with her? If he had to be angry, he would be angry at his own incompetence.

Seeing him smile, Ji Ran also breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pull his collar again, "Then... you can wait for me outside. Out of sight, out of mind."

Qi Mushen glanced at her ridiculously and said, "No."

This time she was like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth. He had to stay by her side every step of the way to prevent any accidents. He simply couldn't afford to take the risk.

"...What if you get close to the ring and feel uncomfortable?" Ji Ran said with worry and heartache in his eyes.

"No," Qi Mu patted her comfortingly, "I tried to get closer to him just now, and I found that the energy of the ring was gradually weakening. It was not as strong as the last time I got close to it, but I still couldn't touch it directly."

Hearing this, Ji Ran also remembered the scene just now. She saw Qi Mu appear behind Zeng Nian and was indeed not affected at all.

She breathed a sigh of relief and recalled, "But I just saw that he seemed to have taken off the ring."

"Well," Qi Mu replied, "When I got close, the ring suddenly reacted in some way, as if it had burned him."

"So amazing!" Ji Ran exclaimed. "What do you think... maybe he used some devious method to inject energy into the ring specifically to suppress you, but every time you get close, that energy is consumed."

Qi Mu raised his eyebrows, "Maybe, it's because you are here."

"Huh?" Ji Ran raised his head and looked into the man's dark red eyes in surprise, "Me?"

Qi Mu looked into her dark pupils seriously. "Just like you are born with the ability to purify the evil spirit in me, you can naturally also deter the evil spirit in that ring."

Hearing this, Ji Ran blushed and bit his lower lip, "Oh... then he might not wear it on his wrist in the short term. We have to act quickly."
