Huo Jingnan was flattered and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Pei Nian smiled and kissed his cheek.
The moment her soft lips touched his, he felt his body heat up, and his blood rushed wildly towards a certain place.
Lately, his desire for her has been unusually strong.
He suddenly remembered what Huo Junyu always said, "Give her a shot," and now he finally understood... The gun was already loaded, but he could only desperately resist pulling the trigger.
"Jingnan, what's wrong?"
"ah?"
Pei Nian opened her big, bright eyes.
His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and the places she had kissed were flushed slightly.
His gaze followed her intently, his deep eyes filled with her image.
Even my breathing became rapid.
Huo Jingnan was afraid of losing his composure, so he quickly sat further away from her to keep his distance.
"Jingnan, where do you feel unwell?"
"Uh..." There is a place that is very uncomfortable.
Can I help you?
Huo Jingnan smiled wryly; he actually quite wanted her to "help" him...
Seeing his face turn red and then pale, Pei Nian thought something serious had happened to him and was extremely anxious. "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Huo Jingnan took a few deep breaths, took her small hand and gently kissed it. "It's just... I just think you're right."
"Such an important thing as a ring, of course I have to buy it for you."
"you……"
"Consider this ring a gift from my mother to you when we first meet." Huo Jingnan put the pigeon egg into the drawer. "When we buy you a new one, you can pick one you like."
Pei Nian chuckled. "How did you know I wasn't happy with this ring?"
"Well..." Huo Jingnan pouted, "This nouveau riche style is definitely my mother's taste!"
After saying that, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.
Huo Jingnan held her in his arms, and her sweet fragrance kept filling his nostrils.
She asked him softly, "Why do you support every decision I make?"
He ruffled her hair and smiled gently, "Don't you like it?"
"Of course I like it..." Pei Nian leaned closer to him, finding herself increasingly attached to this feeling.
"Niannian, although I don't really like Qin Yu, I believe in you."
Pei Nian's heart skipped a beat.
The two heaviest words in the world are "belief".
Jiang Mianmian had also said those two words to her.
Her nose tingled, and she gently closed her eyes, feeling the warmth emanating from him.
At that moment, she felt like the luckiest person in the world.

Pei Nian officially became Qin Yu's assistant, handling various matters for him every day, including helping him fend off those women who offered themselves to him.
At first, Pei Nian wasn't good at doing this kind of thing, especially when those beautiful girls cried in front of her, she would feel an overwhelming urge to protect them, and at those times she would always want to kill Qin Yu with her own hands.
"Big sister, you can't treat me like this!" Qin Yu protested. "Those women are all shrewd and good at acting! Besides, it wasn't me who provoked them; they just kept coming after me! I asked you to solve my problems, and you turned against me?"
Pei Nian glanced at him, then turned her head away with a cold expression. After a long while, she uttered, "I'm younger than you."
"What?"
Who are you calling "Big Sister" all the time?
Qin Yu was taken aback, then burst out laughing.
During this period, the two often bickered like this, and their relationship became more and more harmonious.
Qin Yu found it difficult to describe his feelings for Pei Nian. Did he like her? It seemed a little, but it wasn't the kind of feeling between a man and a woman. That feeling was probably tinged with possessiveness.
Pei Nian has a boyfriend, but he doesn't feel jealous at all.
If I say I don't like her...
And why do I enjoy the time I spend with her?
It felt like being with family—relaxed, comfortable, and able to be my true self.
Qin Yu loosened his tie, flipped through the documents in his hand, and then looked at Pei Nian with a smile, saying, "The project is almost finished."
"Really?" Pei Nian was stunned. "So fast!"
"The school wasn't newly built; it was built by acquiring several private schools, which already had excellent facilities, so the project was completed very quickly."
Pei Nian smiled, feeling that the sunlight outside seemed even brighter.
"With the support of public welfare projects, my father-in-law's campaign has been going very smoothly recently," Qin Yu said. "He is now a hot candidate for mayor of the central city, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be elected this time."
“Congratulations, Mr. Shao.” Pei Nian’s eyes were bright. “President Qin, shouldn’t you also keep your promise?”
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with a smile.
He asked Pei Nian to go to the mountainous area to bring the children over. The school would arrange their food and lodging, and would also provide scholarships for outstanding children every year.
“However, I have one condition,” Qin Yu said. “If any of these children are outstanding, then they can stay and work at Qin’s company in the future.”
"You've even thought this through?" Pei Nian chuckled.
"Of course." Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. "Talent is a scarce resource, so how can we not act early? Why is the Huo family able to rank first among the four great families? It's because they are good at discovering and cultivating talent and making them loyal to them!"
"The Huo family has many other valuable things that you can't learn," Pei Nian said calmly as she tidied up the documents. "Their family's wealth and resources are accumulated over generations. If you want to reach that level, you'll need to study for hundreds more years!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Yu grinned mischievously. "The Huo family is great in every way, and the men are even better! Alright? You haven't even married into the family yet, and you're already protecting them... Ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Nian tapped him on the head with a rolled-up file.
"Big sister, I'm still your boss!"
"You still dare to call me 'Big Sister'?"
"Okay, little sister!" Qin Yu smiled and smiled, but suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He still clearly remembered the illegitimate daughter his father had entrusted to him to find before he died...
Yes, she is an illegitimate daughter. But Qin Yu is a cautious person, and this is a family scandal, so he can't publicize it. If he encounters someone who knows the truth, he will only say that she is an illegitimate child.
So no one knew that Master Qin's child outside was actually a girl.
Qin Yu frowned slightly, a faint shadow falling over his face.
He then looked at Pei Nian...
Is that girl the same age as Pei Nian?
Back then, he hated his father for having affairs, and since it was a girl, he didn't care and didn't go to find her as his father had instructed.
However, at this moment, he felt a little regretful.
If his younger sister were by his side, perhaps she would become his right-hand woman, just like Pei Nian. That way, he wouldn't be so burdened by the family.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Pei Nian called him several times before he came to his senses.
"Oh, it's nothing." Qin Yu smiled. "You should leave work early today and get ready to pick up the children from the mountains! I'll reimburse your round-trip fare."
