A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Before we knew it, the spring rain began to fall. It seemed like overnight, the biting cold was driven away, and the temperature gradually rose.

During the Spring Festival, lanterns are hung up and sway in the spring breeze, while green buds on branches sprout new life.

"A quick news update: The high-profile school bullying and workplace bullying case from last year has been officially adjudicated. Due to the egregious nature of the circumstances, Chi was found guilty of intentional homicide and sentenced to life imprisonment in accordance with the law."

"The law cannot yield to illegality, and justice cannot yield to evil."

News websites across the country reported Chi Chengyu's final verdict, and Liu Fengni fainted and was rushed to the hospital upon hearing the news.

Chi Ruiche has been officially removed from his position as president by his grandfather, and the original holding company has now appointed Chi Chengting as acting president.

Among them, Grandpa Chi's shares were also officially handed over to Chi Chengling, who now holds 35% of the shares, higher than Chi Ruiche's 30%.

"Brother, I feel like someone's watching me these past few days."

Chi Chengling lay sprawled on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Chi Chengting occupied Chi Ruiche's original office. As soon as he entered, Chi Ruiche removed everything inside, leaving only the bare building.

"Chi Ruiche hasn't come for several days. I asked you to investigate. How's your investigation going?"

Chi Chengting stopped writing with his pen, pushed up his glasses with his middle finger, and his eyes held countless schemes.

"They stayed by Jiang Yi's side every step of the way, like a leech."

Chi Chengling patted off non-existent dust from his body.

“Jiang Yi still has some shares. If we let the two of them get married, it will definitely have an impact on us. Dad said that Jiang's shares cannot be transferred. Otherwise, how could Jiang Qiao not give them to him when she loved Chi Jinghui so much?”

“Chi Ruiche wants to follow in the footsteps of Chi Jinghui back then, and I don’t mind helping him.”

Chi Chengling wore a sly smile, revealing an interest in stirring up trouble.

"Currently, including Jiang Yi's shareholding, the total is 75%, and the remaining shareholders hold 20%. Does Chi Jinghui still have any shares?"

Chi Chengting sorted through the problems he had found, but they still didn't match up.

“Didn’t Dad say that after the incident, Chi Jinghui’s shares were all given to Grandpa and Chi Ruiche?”

"I've only heard that we must investigate thoroughly and absolutely not give Chi Ruiche a chance to turn things around."

Chi Chengting's hair was neatly combed, and his thin, scholarly face twisted like a venomous snake.

"Instead of worrying so much, it's best to just send them to their deaths and see who dares to challenge us."

Chi Chengling touched his neck, rolled his eyes and laughed even louder.

"Now that I have just taken the position of president, if something happens to Chi Ruiche, the rumors from the outside world will only bring unnecessary trouble."

Chi Chengting turned the pen around, but his eyes wandered elsewhere.

"Then kill Jiang Yi, or make her work for us."

“If we kill Jiang Yi, no one will get her shares. Since Chi Ruiche can’t bear to part with Jiang Yi, isn’t this more interesting than killing him?”

Chi Chengting toyed with the dart, his eyes flashing with murderous intent before he suddenly looked up.

"Fine!" Chi Chengling exclaimed, his eyelashes gleaming with sarcasm.

Chi Chengting threw a dart, which hit the bullseye. A sinister look slowly formed in his narrow eyes, and a smug grin spread across his face.

In early spring, the sun shines warmly, and the camellias in the yard bloom after the rain. Some are as white as snow, and some are as red as flames. The yellow stamens embedded in the petals bring surprises to spring.

Jiang Yi leisurely rocked in her rocking chair, sipping her coffee and gazing at the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, feeling the breath of spring.

"Open your mouth."

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang reflexively opened his mouth in his direction.

The washed strawberries were then placed inside.

The corners of her lips, stained with strawberry juice, looked especially tempting. Her wandering gaze led her to bite into a strawberry to relieve the dryness in her mouth.

"Che, let's get a dog."

Jiang Yi imagined the fluffy little creature running freely in the garden, occasionally barking, and sniffing the flowers; it would be so cute.

"You have an allergy."

Jiang Yi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her heart. She thought about touching the soft, fluffy fur, and just thinking about it made her feel very obedient.

Jiang pinched Chi Ruiche's sleeve with one or two fingers, his face full of sincerity, looking like he was begging for help.

"That was when I was a child, things are different now."

Chi Ruiche hesitated for a moment. Seeing Chi Ruiche's hesitation, Jiang Yi poked her head out and snuggled into his arms, staring at him expectantly without saying a word.

"Lin Kai, find out which dog breeds don't shed much."

He then put his arm around Jiang Yi and walked out.

Lin Kai, petrified, stood frozen in place. He just agreed like that? With just one sentence?

Boss, you have no principles at all! He's a special assistant, and even though the boss isn't at work, he's expected to work from home with him. Where's the justice in that?

Just one night later, Lin Kai brought a white Schnauzer to the yard and, as requested, received a deluxe doghouse and himself as a "professional" dog owner.

"Che, I love you to death."

Jiang Yi kissed him on the cheek and hurriedly ran over, her bright smile even more radiant in the sunlight.

"Look, it's so cute!"

Jiang Yi's glance back stirred Chi Ruiche's heartstrings even more.

Chi Ruiche gently stroked her hair, embraced her, his eyes softened, a smile played on his lips, and he gazed down at her with utter doting affection.

"It's quite cute."
