Duan Ye ran all the way home.

Logically speaking, they see each other every day and haven't been apart for long, but Duan Ye just misses her terribly.

Luo Qingyuan seemed to know that he missed her, and the moment she opened the door, she rushed over and jumped onto him.

Duan Ye could only close the door with one hand and catch her steadily with the other.

Duan Ye ran back, his whole body still hot, but Luo Qingyuan was lying on the sofa wearing only a small tank top. She had just taken a shower not long ago, and her body was slightly cool and smelled very nice. Duan Ye's heart was surprisingly at ease.

To be honest, tonight was very thrilling, even though everything was under his control, but…

He was still afraid that Luo Qingyuan would be hurt because of this.

Luo Qingyuan hugged his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist, feeling his strong heartbeat.

"Ano..."

Luo Qingyuan buried her head deeply next to his right ear.

Duan Ye responded softly, then hugged her even tighter.

Sometimes, a hug is the antidote for each other.

When Duan Ye rushed back, he felt like he had so much to say to Luo Qingyuan, but when he actually hugged her, his mind went blank.

He thought that as long as Luo Qingyuan was still by his side, everything would be alright.

Duan Ye's account had received a million, but he didn't care at all. He carried Luo Qingyuan into the bedroom, put her on the bed, and then couldn't wait to pull off her clothes.

"Qingyuan, let's have a child... I'll love it whether it's a boy or a girl."

As Duan Ye spoke, both of their thoughts returned to the time when they first met, to the three rules they agreed upon and the contract made in duplicate.

Luo Qingyuan smiled faintly, a hint of mockery in her eyes, and directly reached out to press down Duan Ye's defiant hand.

Duan Ye looked up and saw Luo Qingyuan's expression. His heart skipped a beat. He seemed to know that Luo Qingyuan was going to settle scores later.

Luo Qingyuan: "I don't know who it was back then who refused to have a son with me no matter what. What's wrong with A-Ye now? Has he lost his mind?"

Thinking of that contract, long since hidden away and covered in dust, Duan Ye couldn't help but chuckle.

"Times have changed; things were different back then."

Luo Qingyuan wanted to ask something more, but Duan Ye abruptly shut her up.

After what seemed like an eternity, Duan Ye whispered in her ear, "The contract is off, the money is gone, the child is mine, and everything else is up to you."

Luo Qingyuan's mind was still foggy. How could it just be canceled like that? Three years...

She still remembers how he swore he wouldn't sleep with her back then.

Women, when it comes to bringing up old grievances, are surprisingly rational.

Even though she had little strength left, Luo Qingyuan still crawled out: "That won't do. You wouldn't let me sleep with you before, and I won't let you now... Ah..."

Duan Ye dragged her by the feet and pulled her back.

Want to bring up old grievances in front of Duan Ye? And won't let him eat meat? No way…

To be honest, Duan Ye himself must have regretted it too.

If we had gotten along this harmoniously earlier, the baby might be born soon.

Night, ups and downs.

Duan Ye: "Call me 'brother' once..."

Luo Qingyuan protested ten thousand times.

Finally, she cried and called out to him, "Brother Duan..."

——

Days passed peacefully and uneventfully. Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye went to work every day, and after get off work, they would go home to walk their cats and dogs, and maybe even have a baby.

Luo Qingyuan has begun to seriously prepare for pregnancy, and Duan Ye has accompanied her to the hospital several times. He can't cook, but these days he has learned to make some nutritious soups.

September arrived quickly, and Kyoto entered the rainy season. The continuous rain made people feel restless.

The Jiang family seemed to have disappeared, but Duan Ye was coming home later and later.

She didn't want to get involved in the Jiang family's affairs, but she knew that Duan Ye was preparing to completely bring down the Jiang family.

Luo Shuyang has been busy lately. The Luo family's businesses are almost all over the country. Even though most of the businesses have been separated from the Jiang family, some of the companies have been suppressed and threatened by the Jiang family, and several factories have been forced to shut down.

It's important to understand that if a factory can't operate, it means that several thousand people won't receive their wages.

For the Luo family, this small loss is nothing, but what about the workers who depend on the Luo family for their livelihood?

A few hundred dollars a day is enough to make many people in the world afraid to even be late.

Therefore, Luo Shuyang was in a complete mess...

Luo Qingyuan is also trying her best to use the resources and money around her to keep everything running smoothly, but this is not something that can be done overnight.

——

The Jiang family home, study.

Jiang Jingchuan has been discharged from the hospital, but because of his broken leg, he can only sit in a wheelchair.

Jiang Jingwen was reviewing reports. Under pressure from the Luo family, the Jiang family was in an even more dire situation than the Luo family.

Jiang Jingchuan was unable to do anything while lying in the hospital bed, but he couldn't swallow his anger. So he sent Bo Chao to sneak into Henglun Group and cut down all the money trees placed at the entrance of each department.

that is…

Bo Chao was arrested and is currently in jail reflecting on his actions.

Jiang Jingchuan has sent people to bail him out many times, but no one will give him face and insists that Bo Chao be detained for the full fifteen days.

Every single person in Henglun Group curses Jiang Jingchuan a hundred times a day, calling him despicable, shameless, and saying that if he can't beat someone, he cuts down their money tree.

I heard that someone spitting on the entrance of the Jiang Group building as they passed by, cursing them to be childless and without descendants... They even said that it's no wonder he was jilted, because he's so immoral...

The employees of the two companies were arguing fiercely. They used to cooperate and were always polite to each other on the surface.

Now... I heard that the factory is divided into two parts, one for the Luo family and one for the Jiang family. Each project is also separated, and small-scale arguments can even break out between employees. If they disagree, they can even get angry and start fighting.

This angered Jiang Jingchuan, who was lying in bed, so much that his condition worsened, and he was not discharged from the hospital until today.

After being discharged from the hospital, Jiang Jingchuan couldn't sit still for even a day and came to find Jiang Jingwen. He didn't understand why, even after more than a month, his elder brother still hadn't made a move against the Duan family.

Jiang Jingchuan: "Brother, you promised me you wouldn't let the Duan family off the hook."

Jiang Jingwen didn't even look up, and simply tossed the documents to him: "Now that you've been discharged from the hospital, let's get ready for the wedding."

Newlywed?

Jiang Jingchuan opened the file with suspicion, assuming it was about Luo Qingyuan, but he never expected...

"Chen Niannian?!"

Yes, this agreement is a prenuptial agreement.

The Shen family agreed to a marriage alliance with the Jiang family.

Jiang Jingchuan: "I don't like Shen Niannian, I won't marry her."

Jiang Jingwen: "By marrying into the Shen family, we will have the ability to compete with the Luo family. Whether you marry her or not is up to you."

Jiang Jingchuan hesitated and couldn't make a decision for the time being.

"Brother, why does it have to be me in this arranged marriage? You're not married yet either, and you're not getting any younger."

Jiang Jingwen was taken aback, then laughed and said, "I live a life of walking on the edge of a knife."
