Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

"People's tastes change easily, that's normal."

The groundless reports in that report are not completely unreliable.

Maybe...it's all true.

He sat on the sofa, lowered his eyes as if looking at his watch, and tapped the dial with his finger. His long, thick eyelashes cast a shadow, covering the bottom of his eyes.

No matter what he was thinking, his expression did not change, and the corners of his mouth were always curled with a smile, without any change. "Since you don't like sugar very much, then don't let the chef put it in next time."

Jian Yan didn't realize his plan.

Shaking his head gently, "It won't taste good without sugar, right? Just put less sugar in."

She didn't drink much of the porridge. She just put the porcelain bowl on the bedside table, wiped her lips with a tissue, and drank half a glass of water to dilute the excessive sweetness.

"That's fine." Tong Ruixiao nodded.

When Jian Yan checked the time, she discovered that it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Normally, Tong Ruixiao should have been in the company at this time, but now he was still here.

Thinking of what he said in the early morning about asking for leave, "...Aren't you going back to the company today?"

Tong Ruixiao didn't seem to expect that she would ask again, and explained with a smile:

"It doesn't matter if you miss a day. Some work can be done online. I'm worried that you might have something else to do, so I'd better stay with you. It's a good way to spend your time."

Jian Yan listened to his words and secretly pinched her fingers.

with her?

Accompany her!

Are the two of them familiar with each other?

She fainted from the pain yesterday and was not conscious at all. Tong Ruixiao was beside her and she could hardly feel anything. She just felt like crying because of the pain. It was great to have someone to help her.

Now looking back, I suddenly realized that his behavior today was not in line with his usual behavior and seemed very strange.

After calming down, things became even weirder.

How blurred the boundaries are!

What an intimate attitude!

It's just scary.

A businessman who always smiles and pursues profit is suspicious enough. But when she was sick and weak, he suddenly showed concern for her, showed great courtesy, and even made soup for her...

Aren't these series of actions aimed at reducing her psychological resistance to him and trying to make her let down her guard?

Why do you do this? She is just a marriage partner and has no value...

Unless he is plotting against the valuable Jane family behind her.

pretty close.

This way everything can be explained.

Tong Ruixiao didn't know what interests he wanted to gain for the Jian family. He needed to use her as a springboard or get some information from her, so he approached her and deliberately stayed by her side.

As Jian Yan thought about it, a chill surged in his heart.

Abdominal pain is uncomfortable enough, but you still have to suffer from other people's manipulations. Even the care you receive has a price tag. It's really infuriating.

But there was no sign of it on her face, not even a change in her expression.

The tone remained the same, "I'm not in so much pain now. It was because I drank some cold wine yesterday that it suddenly became serious. And I'll be fine in the hospital..."

"How about you go back to the company?"

He looked at her with puzzled eyes, "You used to persuade me to go back to the villa more often, but now you want me to go back to the company..."

Jian Yan didn't expect that he would confuse her meaning at the time, and she just felt that she was being accused of something.

What does this mean?

It sounded like she was trying to keep him.

It's just a marriage arrangement. As a smart adult, he wouldn't think the same as Tong Huaimu, the kid, that she wants to win his favor, right?

That's really too embarrassing.

She immediately retorted, "I did advise you to go home more often, but that's for Xiao Mu. As a father, you should communicate more with your children, right? This is the best way to enhance the relationship between father and son."

"Other than that, I don't mean anything else. Please don't misunderstand me, Mr. Tong." As she said this, she almost couldn't help but sneer, but at least she maintained the original owner's self-control.

"Besides, I am an adult and I don't need anyone to look after me when I am sober."

The words were harsh, almost heartless, and seemed ungrateful, but she didn't think they were wrong.

Although on the surface Tong Ruixiao took great pains to take care of her last night, even if he didn't get any credit, he still worked hard. But that was all his own will, and she didn't force him to do it.

She doesn't need to feel psychologically burdened by this.

He approached me out of self-interest, so should I feel guilty? I was sold out and I was counting money for others!

Jian Yan didn't think she should care about his emotions or obey his wishes because she guessed the interests behind it.

If she feels psychologically burdened by being schemed against, then she is truly hopelessly stupid.

"Besides, your company is always very busy. It's a pity to waste your time on such trivial matters."

Her tone is serious and sincere, making it impossible to find fault with her, nor will it make the listeners feel unhappy, embarrassed, and unable to back down.

"What a cold statement," Tong Ruixiao said jokingly without changing his expression, "Mrs. Tong, your words are really chilling."

What a good trick to use softness to overcome hardness.

Jane Yan choked, ginger is spicy with age.

The old man is shameless. You can't tell him about it, otherwise he will bite you back.

With this casual remark, he turned her serious words into a joke, preventing her from going any further.

If she continued talking, it would seem that she was not considering the other party but was ungrateful.

He was determined to stay, and there was no way she could persuade him. He had his own purpose, Jian Yan advised herself. As long as she stayed awake and didn't leak anything, there shouldn't be any problem.

Seeing that Jian Yan stopped talking, the man sighed helplessly, "The company is very busy, can't I take a leave? What else can I do after taking the leave?"

"As a chairman, who can decide whether you go or not?" She also imitated him and joked.

"Directors, supervisors and senior managers all have an obligation of loyalty and diligence, and the shareholders will be watching them. Otherwise, why would I go to the company? I can just lie at home." He answered seriously.

One dares to ask, the other dares to speak.

Jane Yan smiled and said nothing.

She just listens to these words for fun, she is not a fool.

Tong Ruixiao is the controlling shareholder and chairman of Ruiguang Group, and no one can control him. He is busy with work every day, not because of internal constraints of the company, but because of external cooperation with other companies.

Now that things have come to this, she won't continue talking.

Just when she thought the conversation was over, Tong Ruixiao suddenly seemed to remember her drinking and asked, "Do you drink alcohol often? Why do you drink cold drinks during your period?"

Jian Yan did not hide anything.

"Not often, I only drink a little when I'm in a bad mood to calm down. But I forgot my period was coming, and I didn't expect it to be so serious."

Almost died.

She thought back to the inescapable pain she felt last night and felt as if she had fallen into a nightmare. Her breathing couldn't help but tremble.

"I was still somewhat conscious at the time and wanted to call for help, but my stomach was hurting so much that I didn't have the strength to make a sound."
