I need a female companion
Sheng Yuanhan seemed to have never said such a ridiculous thing before. He hesitated for a moment before slowly stating the reason, "I need a female companion."
"Female companion?" Ning Qian widened her eyes in disbelief.
"It's not what you think." Sheng Yuanhan couldn't help but defend himself when he saw her defensive look.
"What does that mean?"
Ning Qian also felt that he was not the kind of hypocrite who took advantage of others in distress. Moreover, with his handsome appearance, there were many women who wanted to be with him. It would be a great honor for her family if it was her turn.
But why would he consider her? Is it because he is close to her, or is it because he is attracted by her beauty?
Sheng Yuanhan looked at her calmly, his tone extremely serious, "Like you, I've suffered from the interference of my family urging me to get married. I think we can join forces."
“…”
Ning Qian's head suddenly felt dizzy. How could he know that she was the right candidate?
But none of this mattered anymore. In the end, she didn't reject Sheng Yuanhan's request. After all, the conditions he offered were too tempting: free food and accommodation, a monthly salary of one million, and the title of the girlfriend of the handsome, rich, and wealthy prince of the Sheng family.
She even thought that this was a noble person sent to her by God out of pity for her.
Of course, this noble man still proposed three prohibitions: one is not to cross the line, two is not to have another relationship, and three is not to have intimate behavior with him without permission.
The conditions were a bit harsh, but for the sake of money, Ning Qian still nodded.
Sheng Yuanhan still underestimated her own charm. With a boyfriend like this, who else could she look up to? In the huge city of Beijing, was there any other eligible man who could compare to him?
Ning Qian walked barefoot on the soft carpet and still felt like it was a dream.
She was actually in love. Having been single in both her past and present lives, she really didn't know what it felt like to be in love.
Even though she knew it was fake and it was just an agreement to exchange benefits, she still couldn't help but feel excited.
She came to the full-length mirror and put her hands over her hot cheeks. It turned out that the first step in falling in love was the girl's red cheeks.

"Buzz—"
My phone vibrated. It was a message from Yu Jiangnan: [Are you free to chat at 3pm?]
She really is haunting me. Ning Qian frowned and replied, "What's going on?"
Yu Jiangnan: [I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little curious about what's going on between you and Qin Beichen.]
At this moment, Ning Qian remembered the scene when she angrily confronted Qin Beichen in the mall.
It's bad. She is Sheng Yuanhan's girlfriend now. If he finds out that she is still "openly expressing her love" to Qin Beichen in the mall, then she will lose her job.
Ning Qian: [Don't be curious. There's nothing between him and me. Don't worry about me coveting your boyfriend.]
Yu Jiangnan: [He’s not my boyfriend yet.]
Ning Qian gave a sarcastic smile. He's not your boyfriend, why are you so worried about him?
Yu Jiangnan quickly sent another message: [I still have some concerns and haven't agreed to him yet.]
Ning Qian sneered: [Whether you are boyfriend and girlfriend or not, please don't bother me anymore.]
Yu Jiangnan: [But didn't you say that day that you loved him very much? If you really loved each other, I wouldn't break you up.]
[I choose to bless you. Even if it hurts, I can't bear to be the instigator of destroying other people's feelings.]
Ning Qian rolled her eyes. Why was she involved again? Didn’t she clearly say that she had nothing to do with Qin Beichen?
Yu Jiangnan continued to message her: [Does Beichen contact you regularly? Although he also told me that he doesn't like you, I don't think things are that simple. I hope you can tell me more about what happened between you two.]
Ning Qian: [No comment]
Yu Jiangnan directly sent an address over, [Meet here on time this afternoon, is that okay? ]
Ning Qian thought about it and agreed. It would be better to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible to prevent Yu Jiangnan from harassing her every day. At the same time, she also wanted to know how Yu Jiangnan knew Ning Zhengqing.
-
The Wen family is holding a grand birthday party in a mansion, and even Su Zhiyan is on the list.
Su Zhiyan was wearing a black knee-length dress and holding a wine glass as she talked to Lu Ting's fiancée Beth, occasionally glancing at the other girls who were dressed up formally.
"How are things going between you and Lu Ting lately?" Su Zhiyan asked without hesitation.
Beth frowned and snorted coldly, "What else can I do? I was completely captivated by that vixen and even secretly went out on a date with her last time."
Seeing that she was very angry, Su Zhiyan felt relieved, as this way she could stand on the same side with her.
"You won't let her go just like that, will you? Or are you willing to be the big boss and let her be the little boss?"
"What a joke! She wants to snatch Lu Ting from me! She doesn't even consider her own worth." Although Beth said this, she was still quite insecure in her heart. She still remembered what Lu Ting said when he stood up for Yu Jiangnan.
"Really?" Su Zhiyan raised her neck and teased, "I heard that Lu Ting knelt in the ancestral hall all night just to cancel this marriage."
Beth realized that she was laughing at her and was slightly displeased, but because of her status, she couldn't directly retort her. At this time, she thought of Qin Beichen again and said sarcastically, "She has some skills. Not only can she get involved with Qin Beichen, but she can also get close to Lu Ting."
"She doesn't even consider her own weight. She's an orphan and she's dreaming of choosing between two wealthy families."
When Su Zhiyan heard about the Qin family, her face turned angry. If she hadn't been worried that this was Wen Lan's birthday party, the wine glass in her hand would have been shattered into pieces.
The last time she caused a small disturbance at the Sheng family, the Su family lost an order worth 5 billion. It was the first time that she was severely scolded by her father. He even warned her that if it happened again, he would bring the illegitimate child back to inherit the family business.
She only found out a week ago that her father had an illegitimate child who was already twelve years old and had not told the whole family about it. If her pampered mother had not cried with red eyes, she would not have believed it was true.
She has been able to be so arrogant and domineering all along because she is the only daughter in her family. Now that there are other heirs, she suddenly feels an unprecedented sense of crisis.
If she wanted to be with Qin Beichen for love before, now it was to consolidate her position in the Su family! No matter what, she would not let anyone else get Qin Beichen!
At this time, Sheng Yao was holding Wen Lan's hand, accompanying her, and walked in under the attention of everyone.
She ignored the gazes of others and carefully scolded her brother beside Wen Lan, "Sister Wen, don't be angry with my brother. He is just a workaholic and can't spare the time to come over. I have already told him."
Wen Lan patted her hand back and said gently, "I know. Ever since the day I met him, I knew he wasn't someone who was immersed in romantic relationships."
"Yeah...yes."
Sheng Yao felt guilty after hearing this. It turns out that love can make people blind. Her brother is not the kind of man who doesn't know how to be smart. He is very capable and even has a beautiful woman in his house!
"It's a nice gesture. Thank you for taking the trouble to come here, Secretary Zhang." Wen Lan turned around and smiled at Zhang Xu. She knew that Zhang Xu was Sheng Yuanhan's most valued subordinate. Only by building a good relationship with him could she know more about Sheng Yuanhan.
"Miss Wen, you are so polite. This is what I should do."
Zhang Xu nodded politely. He felt that Miss Wen was the best partner for Mr. Sheng, both in appearance and family background.
Su Zhiyan, who was far away, focused her attention on Wen Lan when she came in.
Wen Lan's family background is no worse than Qin Beichen's. She is the woman who is most compatible with Qin Beichen. Apart from Yu Jiangnan, she is also one of the women that Su Zhiyan is wary of.
Fortunately, she is proud and arrogant, and looks down on the Qin family, who are in the same class as her. She is determined to marry into a top family. Now she is chatting with Sheng Yao again.
A sharp light flashed in Su Zhiyan's eyes. She had once coveted the Sheng family, but the eldest son of the Sheng family was unkind and cold in his words and deeds. This idea of marrying up only existed in her mind for a moment before it quickly disappeared. After that, she became determined to love Qin Beichen.
Childhood sweethearts, handsome and aloof, Qin Beichen's aloofness is different from Sheng Yuanhan's. He is a handsome and cold young man, while Sheng Yuanhan is born aloof and cold.
In comparison, Qin Beichen is more to her liking and easier to control.
In addition to them, she also considered Lu Ting, Zhao Yuchen, Ren Zhen and others. The Lu family is a jewelry tycoon, the Zhao family is a big shot in the financial world, and the Ren family is engaged in shipping. He is known as the son of the shipping king.
After much thought, she felt that the Qin family was better. The family business was spread across all walks of life and was complex and intertwined. Whether it was status, wealth, or appearance, she preferred Qin Beichen.
Thinking about this, she called Qin Beichen again. If she wanted to capture a man's heart, she had to keep in touch with him frequently.
The phone was quickly connected, and the man's usual cold voice came, "What's the matter?"
When Su Zhiyan saw the call was connected, she was surprised and happy, "Brother Qin, where are you now?"
Qin Beichen was currently choosing a reconciliation gift for Yu Jiangnan. The last time Ning Qian publicly expressed his love for Yu Jiangnan, Yu Jiangnan cried for the entire day and wished she could draw a clear line with him.
Even though he explained everything, Yu Jiangnan still refused to believe him. This was already the second day of their cold war.
Those two short days felt like ages to him, and he wanted to scold the culprit severely.
In fact, he did so, but he couldn't get through to Ning Qian's phone, and even when he added her on WeChat, her call was never accepted.
He was so angry that he smashed the coffee table in the room into two pieces.
After calming down, he began to reflect on himself. It was his charm that gave others hope, which made them so bold and reckless to reveal their feelings in front of him, which also hurt Yu Jiangnan.
From now on, no matter who it is, he will treat them coldly. Apart from Yu Jiangnan, he will never give his heart to anyone else.
After coming to his senses, he began to prepare gifts in order to please his beloved woman.
Suddenly, the mobile phone pushed a GT luxury necklace. The crystal necklace inlaid with diamonds was crystal clear and sparkled with dazzling light.
Qin Beichen's eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered that Yu Jiangnan vaguely disliked the fact that the necklace around her neck was a bit tight.
At that time, she was busy with social engagements and could not spare the time, so she asked Assistant Chen to arrange it. However, she said that she had a lot of feelings for the necklace and did not want to replace it with other alternatives, so the matter was put on hold.
Now that I think about it, how much could that tiny, almost faded necklace be worth? I probably wanted to wear the necklace he personally selected.
The more Qin Beichen thought about it, the more he felt that this gift was feasible, so he drove to the GT counter ten kilometers away to choose it himself.
The lady at the counter had green eyes. The gentleman was dressed in top-tier brand names, including a watch worth a million. He looked very dignified, and his every move exuded the feeling of being rich.
This was Qin Beichen's first time to personally choose a gift for someone, but he knew nothing about jewelry and was fooled by the lady at the counter into wanting to buy the entire store.
But this is obviously not feasible. Recently, Qin's company wants to expand into new technological fields, and the investment required will range from tens of billions to hundreds of billions, and the cash flow is not that abundant.
As the Qin family’s funds are tightened, the people below will get less money.
Although his father is the eldest son of the Qin family and owns the largest shares, his second and third uncles are still eyeing the Qin family's property and want to share it at any time, not to mention the aunts who are married out.
Now Mr. Qin has not yet delegated his power. After being distributed through various levels, the disposable funds he receives every month are only about 10 million yuan.
In addition, he refused to marry into the Su family, which made the old man unhappy, and the money he received was even slower.
"Sir, you have excellent taste. This necklace is our store's most valuable treasure. The pink diamond comes from the Konovo mine, where it is rare and precious. It was cut by Master Hansen himself and designed by Miss Cathy, who is renowned in the jewelry industry. It is luxurious, exquisite, and magnificent. It is truly a rare work of art."
Qin Beichen held it in his hand and admired it, feeling satisfied. He imagined Yu Jiangnan's surprised expression when she received the necklace.
Normally, if he liked an item, he would ask the clerk to swipe his card without hesitation, but this time, when he heard the clerk say that this was the store's treasure, he became cautious.
He suppressed the smile on his face and said coldly, "Not bad. How much is it?"
The lady at the counter smiled so much that her eyes curved. If she really made this order, she could buy the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in the suburbs in full.
"Original price 8800,0000, today's special offer price 5999,9999."
In an instant, Qin Beichen's pupils suddenly dilated and his face darkened. For the first time, he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and asked again.
It wasn't until the lady at the counter patiently repeated it again that he believed the necklace was so expensive.
It’s shocking to think about it. He dared to ask such an exorbitant price for a necklace that weighs less than two taels. In total, he only has 20 million!
Qin Beichen tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart. When he was about to suggest watching another one, he received a call from Su Zhiyan.
