Mad Dog CEO and his beautiful assistant

Cang Yan developed a strange condition: photophobia. He was afraid of sunlight, lights, and especially the light in Shen Qin's eyes. The condition became increasingly severe, and he became afraid not only of light but also of sound. He even dared not answer Shen Qin's calls.

Cang Yan hid in the house, curled up against the corner of the bed. He threw his phone far away and stared at the device that connected him to the outside world. He used to look forward to it ringing, but now he was afraid of it.

He claimed to be ill and didn't go to the company. He hadn't seen Shen Qin for several days, and he didn't even answer her phone calls. But how long could he hide? How long could this kind of life last? He would have to face Shen Qin. There would always be a day when he would have to stand before her. He couldn't hide, couldn't avoid it. He felt despair, a despair that came from the bottom of his heart, and made his hands and feet cold and his heart stop.

The phone rang. It was Shen Qin. He knew it was Shen Qin. Ever since he fell ill, Shen Qin had been staring at him with a gaze so bright that he could not hide from it. He did not dare to look into Shen Qin's eyes. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The ringing continued, and the phone on the ground refused to lie still, as if it would twist and jump into his face in the next second. He couldn't cut off his connection with the outside world, he couldn't hide, unless he never saw Shen Qin again, but how would that be different from death? If he cut off all ties, it wouldn't be his love that would be severed, but his life.

Cang Yan picked up the phone resignedly, and Shen Qin's beautiful and magnetic voice came from the other end. It was pleasant to hear, and he wanted to listen to it, but was afraid to listen to it.

"What's wrong with you? What happened? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you really sick? If you are sick, you should take medicine, no, see a doctor first. Should I go with you? What happened? No one is coming, and you don't answer the phone. What are you doing?" Shen Qin's series of complaints were full of concern, which made Cang Yan want to cry and couldn't breathe.

"Nothing." Cang Yan's voice was hoarse as if he had swallowed a razor blade. "I feel a little uncomfortable, and I didn't want you to see it."

"Are you really sick? Why is your voice so hoarse?" Shen Qin's voice suddenly rose. "I came to see you. What do you mean you don't want me to see you? Are you some arrogant kid from kindergarten? Being sick isn't something to be ashamed of. Where does the overbearing CEO image come from? I'll take care of you."

"Don't!" Cang Yan was about to cry, "No, please."

There was silence on the other end for a while. "Okay. I don't understand what you're doing. You're seriously ill. Ugh! You're so shameless. I've been infected by you. I'm not normal anymore. So take care of yourself. Come to me if you need anything."

Have you been too tired from work lately? It's okay, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Ugh, a broken ship still has three thousand nails. Ugh, I'm such a jerk. Anyway, Canglong is very stable, nothing will happen. You should have a good rest and don't think about anything.

Finally, Shen Qin said softly: "Cang Yan, get well soon. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Cang Yan dropped the phone, holding his head and sobbing silently. He missed Shen Qin too, and he was almost going crazy! If only Xue Fugui hadn't been allowed in that day, if only Xue Fugui hadn't existed at all, how great it would have been!

Shen Qin clutched his phone, feeling bewildered. Something was wrong with Cang Yan, sick? What a lame excuse! Given Cang Yan's personality, if he were truly ill, he'd be hanging onto him like an octopus, clinging to him 24/. How could Cang Yan let go of such a good opportunity?

So, what exactly happened?

Shen Qin tried to recall every detail. Cang Yan's illness had come on suddenly, seemingly starting after that uninvited guest had arrived. That person was Xue Fugui, the CEO of Fu'an Group, whom Shen Qin had received.

As a qualified assistant, he would help Cang Yan filter out some completely unreliable appointments, but this person claimed to be a relative of the Cang family, saying that he was a brother to Cang Song and that Cang Yan was his nephew.

Shen Qin let him in only after seeing that he was serious. After all, Cang Yan would be able to tell whether they were relatives or not.

Shen Qin remembered that when the man left, his expression wasn't exactly joyful; it was rather resentful. Yet, within that resentment, there was a certainty—a deeply contradictory emotion. If it worked, there wouldn't be resentment. But if it didn't, where would the certainty come from? So, would it work or not?

Cang Yan has been claiming to be ill and unable to go out since that day. What did the two of them talk about?

Just when Shen Qin was puzzled, Cang Yan's illness was cured.

A few days later, Cang Yan reappeared in front of everyone. He was in good spirits and looked no longer sick. The look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Qin was still as passionate as ever, as if nothing had changed.

During the days without Shen Qin, in the darkest time, Cang Yan curled himself up into a ball. In the darkness with no one to keep him warm, he finally figured out one thing: he absolutely, absolutely, absolutely must not lose Shen Qin!

Let the past be the past, and the past will remain in the past. Xue Fugui will block his mouth. No one and nothing can separate him and Shen Qin! Gods and demons can't, and mortals can't either!

Let this secret rot in his stomach. He can live his whole life with this heavy shackle. As long as Shen Qin is with him, as long as he can spend time with Shen Qin, as long as he can get Shen Qin, he can live his whole life in shackles!

The days seemed to have returned to normal. Cang Yan's abnormality was like an accidental deviation from the track, but now the car has been straightened and is driving on the right road. There seems to be no difference between the two, but Shen Qin knows that it is just an appearance.

Cang Yan's eyes were full of love, but behind the love was a haze, like dark clouds that could not be blown away. Even though Cang Yan tried his best to hide it, Shen Qin could still keenly smell the breath of the storm.

Something is wrong with Cang Yan!

His illness has not been cured!

Something happened, something big!

Shen Qin didn't ask, his intuition told him that Cang Yan wouldn't tell the truth. Shen Qin calmed down and walked forward with Cang Yan with doubts until the eve of New Year's Eve.

Zhou Liwen appeared again and brought that fatal video.

Shen Qin pressed play, and a face appeared on the camera. It was incredibly handsome, incredibly wild. It was a face that had once repelled him, yet also filled him with worry. Years later, it had matured, become even more alluring, yet at the time, it still held a lingering youthfulness. It was bold, handsome, and exceptionally youthful. This was Cang Yan a few years earlier.

"I'm going to kill him!" There was a pile of wine bottles in front of Cang Yan. His eyes were blurred and he looked wild and unruly, with a bunch of followers surrounding him.

"Yes, kill him! That Shen guy is such a piece of shit!"

"Dare to provoke our Young Master Cang, I think he is tired of living!"

"Boss, we'll do it the way you say. Just a word from you, and we'll take care of it!"

The followers were yelling and fanning the flames, and those who didn't know better might have thought they were filming some tough gangster scene.

Cang Yan held the bottle and drank it all in one gulp, and finally it all poured over his head. He had a domineering look on his face and his eyes were straight, as if he had drunk too much.

"How could he, how could he do this to me?" Cang Yan held the bottle, his brows twisted into a lock.

"I don't want to leave. I won't leave! Why? I won't leave!"

The followers fanned the flames, "If anyone should leave, it should be someone surnamed Shen. Why should we force you to go abroad?"

Cang Yan held the bottle, his head shaking slightly, and he mumbled something quietly, but it was unclear.

"Shen Qin, you're so cruel! You're so fucking cruel!"

Cang Yan suddenly shouted, "You lied to me! How dare you lie to me! You tricked me, you stabbed me in the back! I believed your lies! I fucking believed your lies!

You are the one who wronged me, don't blame me! I will crush you to death, crush the Shen family to death! I will make the Shen family disappear into ashes! I want you to know the price of provoking me! "
