Qin Ran grew up in the countryside. She disappeared for one year and lost a year of high school.
One year later, she was taken to Yuncheng by her biological mother to attend school.
Her...
There were many people at the airport and there was the sound of broadcasting overhead.
For the first time, Cheng Juan felt that the broadcasting sound above his head was annoying.
He lowered his eyes, staring at her without blinking, without avoiding her at all.
Qin Ran was still wearing her usual black sweatshirt today, with her hair hanging carelessly beside her ears. She looked cool and aloof. From the side, one could vaguely see her thin and delicate features.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Cheng Juan tightened his grip.
This posture is too close. When talking, the hot air can hit the ears, and the tingling feeling is like a tiny electric current passing to the fingertips.
Qin Ran's eyelashes trembled. "Don't get too close."
His slightly dark lips were pursed, his snowy face was tender and gentle, and his usual cold and aloof demeanor was gone. His voice was low and bewitching, shining brightly: "Then will you consider it?"
The broadcast overhead and the figures rushing around almost became phantoms.
Qin Ran looked at his face, which looked like a landscape painting carefully drawn with ink strokes...
...
...
Is she the type who only looks at the face?
Qin Ran thought about it for a moment, then lowered her head in resignation.
she is……
"Then I'll think about it." She replied.
There were many people at the airport, but the two of them looked so outstanding that their faces were rarely seen in the retouched pictures on TV. One of them was enough to attract the attention of passers-by, let alone the two of them together.
Qin Ran pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt, covering most of her face. "The plane is about to take off."
"Okay," Cheng Juan brushed his chin across her hair, speaking a little slower, "Have you thought about it?"
Qin Ran didn't say anything.
He dragged a human-shaped doll and didn't restrain himself until he got on the plane.

Beijing, Cheng family.
The Second Hall Master's men were pulling the goods behind, while the Second Hall Master went back to the Cheng family headquarters to report first.
Cheng Jiabin has been uneasy in the past two days. The news that Old Man Cheng gave the piece of fat meat in City C to Cheng Juan has spread throughout the Cheng family.
There are rumors within the Cheng family that Cheng Juan did nothing in City C and just played with his girlfriend.
The power and assets in City C were bound to shrink by half due to Cheng Juan's negligence.
Cheng Raohan's confidants are in City C. No one knows Cheng Juan's every move better than them. Today, they deliberately did not go out, but waited at Cheng's house with other hall masters, waiting for the second hall master to come back.
The second hall master had already reported the time to Mr. Cheng in advance.
The group saw the Second Hall Master within two minutes. Unlike the depressed look that everyone in the hall had imagined, the Second Hall Master was still energetic and in a stable state. If there was any difference, it was that he seemed to be more imposing than before.
Mr. Cheng put down his teacup, his old face solemn, "Where is the Third Young Master?"
"The third young master has accompanied Miss Qin back to school." The second hall master bowed and answered respectfully.
When the other hall masters heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Cheng Juan was well-known for not caring about things in the Cheng family, but this time he went a little too far. He didn't even do what the head of the family arranged and went with the little girl again. It turned out that beauty was harmful.
"Old man, the third young master is too indecisive and focuses on his children's personal affairs. He cannot take on the three major positions as heirs to the Cheng family." A middle-aged man with sharp eyes and dark skin spoke.
Old Master Cheng pursed his lips, and the expression on his face dimmed when he mentioned this.
"This time in City C, the Third Young Master is so disappointing. Although he is smart, he pays too much attention to personal emotions when it comes to major issues. A few years ago, you asked him to lead the team at the base, but he went to study medicine halfway through. This time, the forces in City C suffered heavy losses because of his idleness. He is unstable and can hardly shoulder the responsibility of the Cheng family." Another man stood up and bowed.
Cheng Raohan listened to what the group said, calmly and without saying a word.
The Second Hall Master paused after hearing the last charge, and then reported to Old Master Cheng: "Master, the forces in City C have not suffered heavy losses. The Third Young Master has successfully gathered and recovered to the capital. Come to the Cheng family soon."
"Successfully gathered? All to the Cheng family? The Second Hall Master is indeed the Second Hall Master. He took care of the Transportation Bureau in just three days." Cheng Raohan looked at the Second Hall Master, praising him openly and criticizing him secretly.
The Second Hall Master could hear the sarcasm in Cheng Raohan's mouth, but he didn't care. He just said seriously: "Except for a small group of people, all other members are here."
Cheng Raohan looked at the Second Hall Master's confident and unhurried look, and paused on the armrest.
He knew that the information he received was from a trusted person and there wouldn't be any mistakes, but... the Second Hall Master's steady attitude was beyond his expectations...
The reaction of the Second Hall Master was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Cheng family. Even if Mr. Cheng went there in person, he would not be able to regain all the power in City C and return it to the capital within ten days.
They all knew in their hearts that Cheng Juan had not cleared those checkpoints at all. How could the Second Hall Master safely bring all the troops to the capital?
Is this Second Hall Master so angry at Cheng Juan that he is daydreaming?
At this time, Butler Cheng came in from outside and said, "Master, the Second Hall Master's men have returned and are waiting for you to count them at the gate of the compound."
Are they all really back? ?
Cheng Raohan didn't believe it. He pursed his lips, looked thoughtful, and followed Old Man Cheng all the way to the gate of the compound.
The compound is a training ground.
At this time, the place was densely packed with people. Except for Cheng Raohan's small group, all the Second Hall Master's people were present.
The several hall masters who had just been frantically persuading Old Master Cheng in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. The dark-skinned man walked up to Cheng Raohan and said, "Young Master, you said that the Third Young Master didn't clear the barrier at all? You asked me to persuade the old man to wake up? I will remember your 'favor'."
Cheng Raohan: "..." I remembered his mouthful of blood. How could he have imagined that Cheng Juan, who never played tricks, would actually play tricks!
Although the other hall masters did not say it openly, they also had complaints about Cheng Raohan because of this incident.
If the information provided by Cheng Raohan was true, it would be very important to the several hall masters, but unfortunately... the information provided by Cheng Raohan was simply false, which made the several hall masters who returned have a "ungenerous" attitude towards Cheng Raohan.
Behind a group of people.
The second hall master was asking about the butler Cheng Mu.
"Cheng Mu?" Butler Cheng didn't expect the Second Hall Master to ask about Cheng Mu. "He was in the special training camp with his brother and the others."
"Special training camp?" The Second Hall Master stood in awe, "I didn't expect the special training camp in the capital to be so powerful."
"Cheng Mu only follows the Third Young Master," Butler Cheng slowly explained to the Second Hall Master, "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth seem to have been picked up by the Third Young Master when he was a child. Their origins are unclear. They usually don't care about the Cheng family's affairs. We only see Cheng Mu more often."
The second hall master nodded. He had always known that the Cheng family was very powerful, but he didn't expect them to be so powerful. Anyone who just came out of the special training camp could be so strong.
I instantly felt a deep respect for Butler Cheng.
After sending the Second Hall Master away, Butler Cheng frowned in confusion. This Second Hall Master... was really weird.

This way.
Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were still on their way to Yunjin Community. They had been to City C for a few days. Before leaving, Qin Ling had something to bring to Qin Hanqiu.
Qin Ran also had to report to Qin Hanqiu that Qin Ling's injuries were not serious.
When the two arrived, Ah Wen was not there. Qin Hanqiu was still sitting at the desk in the hall, flipping through a document.
"Shall we have dinner here tonight? I just bought some groceries this morning." Butler Qin never allowed Qin Hanqiu to buy groceries or go shopping, but Qin Hanqiu would never let it go if he had the chance.
Qin Ran raised her head and glanced at the furnishings in the room, then nodded nonchalantly.
Qin Hanqiu saw her respond and a look of joy appeared on his face. He took the document and asked Cheng Juan again.
Cheng Juan carefully dissected each economic case and explained it to him. These obscure and complicated economic cases on paper were explained by Cheng Juan with the help of allusions, which instantly enlightened Qin Hanqiu.
Especially...
Qin Hanqiu looked at Cheng Juan's back as he went to the kitchen to get some water. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Cheng Juan seemed to be a little more polite to him this time...
After having dinner at Qin Hanqiu's place in the evening, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan returned to Tinglan.
The two had just left not long ago.
Butler Qin and Awen came to train Qin Hanqiu.
"I'm sorry, Second Master," Butler Qin bowed his head, "We have been busy developing software projects in the past two days, so we have moved your training to the evening."
"It's okay. Xiao Cheng came here today and taught me." Butler Qin pushed the document in front of him.
Butler Qin looked at the detailed notes and well-organized suggestions left by Qin Hanqiu on the document and was stunned. Is it that Xiao Cheng again?
The boyfriend Qin Ran mentioned by Qin Hanqiu?
Butler Qin thought in a daze, that's right, a student of the Physics Department of Peking University, to be her boyfriend, he must have something extraordinary.
He took the document that Qin Hanqiu had annotated and went out. When he got back to the car, he couldn't help but call Qin Xiuchen.
Qin Xiuchen was still in a hotel in City C at this time.
When the cell phone rang, he was just coming out of the bathroom. He was wearing a bathrobe, with his white fingertips tucking into his collar. Qin Ling had finished today's paper and opened the game on the computer.
In the past few days, he had been playing the game console that Qin Xiuchen had found for him. This was the first time he played a game that Qin Ran had downloaded for him in front of Qin Xiuchen.
He did not avoid Qin Xiuchen either.
Qin Xiuchen was holding the phone while casually looking in the direction of Qin Ling. Just as he pressed the call button, he saw Qin Ling's action and his hand suddenly stopped. A look of astonishment appeared in his beautiful black eyes...
