After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

"Okay, remember what you said."

"Ten days from now, I want to see you get out of the Tang family with my own eyes."

Tang Yufei's eyes were filled with resentment. She simply did not believe that Chu Tian had led the Tang family to dominate the three southwestern provinces.

What I can't have, you can't have either.

After saying that, she glared at Old Madam Tang with resentment, then turned and left.

Tang Yurou and Chu Tian chatted with Old Madam Tang for a while longer before returning to their own rooms.

At the doorway, Lian Yue leaned against the wall, unconscious.

Chu Tian went over to check and found that she had only been drugged by Yu Youwei, which relieved him slightly.

He took out a silver needle and stuck it into Lian Yue's neck.

"uh-huh……"

As the silver needles were gently pressed, it wasn't long before Lian Yue let out a weak groan and slowly opened her eyes.

"What's wrong with me?"

Lian Yue looked around in confusion, somewhat bewildered.

Chu Tian snorted coldly and scolded, "You call yourself a master of internal energy? You didn't even know you were drugged. Is this how you protect my wife?"

Lian Yue was jolted awake, a sharp pain shooting through her mind. She patted herself hard before remembering what had just happened.

She hurriedly looked up and saw Tang Yurou beside Chu Tian, ​​and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault for not doing a good job."

"Please punish me, Mr. Chu."

Lian Yue knelt on one knee, her attitude sincere.

"I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time, you might as well just kill yourself!"

Chu Tian said coldly, too lazy to pay attention to her, and went back into the house.

Tang Yurou glanced at Lian Yue, her face full of confusion.

I really don't know what Chu Tian was thinking, that he would actually find a woman to protect me.

So easily caught, he's clearly not a pro.

"Forget it! You don't need to protect me anymore."

"My company still has many vacant positions. Go and pick one, and I'll pay you double the salary."

Tang Yurou felt a little reluctant, worried that Lian Yue would be hurt again because of her.

Lian Yue was immediately startled. "Miss Tang, are you looking down on me?"

Tang Yurou shook her head and said earnestly, "I don't look down on you, I just don't want you to be implicated because of me."

"Besides, you're a woman; fighting and killing aren't suitable for you."

Upon hearing this, Lian Yue felt deeply humiliated and clenched her fists in resentment.

She followed Ning Wushuang into battle, repeatedly achieving great feats, and countless enemies died at his hands.

The reason I fell for Yu Youwei's trick this time was purely due to carelessness.

The drug used by the other party was a colorless and odorless sleeping potion, which would be difficult for even a master to detect.

"Miss Tang, don't worry, this was purely an accident."

"I do have some strength, I can definitely protect you."

Lian Yue was unwilling to leave. If she couldn't even handle such a small matter, how could she have the face to go back and see Ning Wushuang?

"Chu Tian is enough. You should come work for my company!"

Tang Yurou was unaware of Lian Yue's background and thought she was just an ordinary person who knew some martial arts.

"Miss Tang, I don't lack money."

Lian Yue pleaded, "My mission is to protect you, please give me this opportunity, Miss Tang."

"This……"

Seeing Lian Yue's resolute attitude, Tang Yurou was at a loss for words.

After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Fine, whatever you want!"

Anyway, I'll just leave her out of the house from now on, that way Lian Yue won't be in danger.

Give her a higher salary; that way, it won't be a loss of face for Chu Tian.

"Thank you, Miss Tang."

Lian Yue looked grateful, then clenched her fists in humiliation.

Although she doesn't know who harmed her, she must find a chance to wash away the shame.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't have the face to go back and see Ning Wushuang.

……

Back in her room, Tang Yurou looked at Chu Tian, ​​who was resting with his eyes closed in an armchair, and immediately felt a surge of anger.

"I really don't know what you're thinking. At a time like this, why are you still arguing with Tang Yufei?"

Tang Yurou said resentfully, "You could have used the fact that she was kicked out of the Tang family to cancel the bet."

Does it really matter whether she leaves the Tang family or not?

Chu Tian snorted coldly, "Lin Zitian's kidnapping of you this time is inextricably linked to her."

“If it weren’t for the lack of evidence, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just getting out of the Tang family.”

"Therefore, she has to pay the price for this."

Tang Yurou felt a warmth in her heart, and her tone softened considerably, "But my uncle is still in the Tang family. If we don't fulfill the bet, he won't let us off the hook."

"Don't worry, I never fight a battle I'm not sure I can win," Chu Tian said confidently. "Ten days from now, you can just wait to become the empress of the three southwestern provinces."

"You're just bragging." Tang Yurou glared at Chu Tian resentfully.

She shared Tang Yufei's opinion on this matter; she didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart.

Now, with the support of the Lan Group's projects, Tang Zhenchuan and Tang Yufei can no longer cause any trouble.

Once the project is completed, we can establish a firm foothold in the Tang family.

As for Tang Yufei, Chu Tian could use the bet as a condition to keep Tang Yufei in the Tang family.

Tang Yufei will definitely agree.

But Chu Tian did not do that.

"No matter what, I saved you today. It's one thing not to thank me, but to complain about me is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Chu Tian suddenly opened his eyes and said with dissatisfaction.

"Is it too much?"

Tang Yufei raised her head and said matter-of-factly, "I'm your wife, isn't saving me what you should do?"

"Oh! You finally admit you're my wife?"

"What, you're not going to divorce me anymore?"

Chu Tian joked with a smile.

"Leave, let's leave now."

"Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Tang Yurou was furious. Did this guy even have a brain?

Can't you even say a sweet word?

Shouldn't he take advantage of my words, excitedly hug me, and whisper sweet nothings in my arms?

Even some cheesy pickup lines would be fine!

"I do not."

Chu Tian stood up, walked to Tang Yurou, and lifted her chin.

"Divorce is impossible now. I know you've become attached to me."

Tang Yurou's heart raced, and she said shyly, "Shameless! Who's clinging to you?"

"No?" Chu Tian looked at Tang Yurou's shy eyes and became even more tempted.

"No." Tang Yurou couldn't stand Chu Tian's teasing any longer, and her breathing became rapid. She quickly lowered her head.

"If there's no problem, then there's no problem! It won't interfere with our business anyway." Chu Tian chuckled mischievously, then suddenly picked up Tang Yurou and carried her to the bedside.

Tang Yurou lay obediently on the bed, her pretty face flushed, and said shyly, "Tonight, I'll do whatever you say."

Looking at Tang Yurou, who was being picked by him, Chu Tian's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but say, "I want to see you wearing that dress."

"Okay." Tang Yurou didn't object at all and changed into the sailor uniform.

"Gudong!"

Chu Tian swallowed hard. "I don't like you lying down either."

"Then I should kneel?"

"can."

Half an hour later, Tang Yurou pleaded pitifully.

"I'm tired of kneeling, can I lean against the wall for support?"

"How about we go to the bathroom?"

"It's all up to you."
