Chapter 81 Chips
Feng Jue keenly noticed that the emotions around Yan Ai suddenly changed.
It’s like there’s a faint sadness and pain lingering around, seeming to be there yet not far away, and yet it can’t be shaken off.
The man's usually indifferent and cold brows slightly frowned. Was she thinking of something heartbreaking?
Just as the man was about to explore further, the hint of sadness on Yan Ai's face instantly subsided, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
"The purpose of your coming to me is to ask me for information about that person?" Yan Ai suddenly asked him.
Feng Jue couldn't help but be stunned. The woman in front of him had cold eyes and eyebrows, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped in layers of frost. Apart from being cold, where was the trace of sadness?
"Yes." Feng Jue suppressed the unnecessary emotions in his eyes and admitted it straightforwardly.
Yan Ai asked him, "If I don't tell you, what are you going to do to me?"
"You will use Xingchen's true identity to threaten me, right?" Without waiting for the man to answer, Yan Ai had already given the answer.
The man remained silent, but beneath his seemingly calm and indifferent eyes, an undercurrent was actually surging.
The initiative seemed to have fallen into the hands of the other party without anyone noticing.
However, the man has been in the business world for many years and is quite experienced.
He remained expressionless and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of?" Yan Ai smiled, looking directly into the man's cold eyes from a distance, laughing at his forgetfulness. "If you hadn't insisted on a secret marriage and told me to keep a low profile and not cause trouble, would I have deliberately hidden Xingchen's identity from the public?"
"Besides, I didn't mean to hide it from you in the first place, it's just that you didn't bother to know."
With just a few words, Yan Ai resolved the bargaining chips in Feng Jue's hand.
Feng Jue could be said to be both surprised and not surprised by this.
If his impression of Yan Ai was still the same as a few days ago, he would be surprised.
But the woman standing in front of him now is Xingchen, the one who could write such a brilliant science fiction masterpiece as "Out of the Blue".
Not only was he not surprised, but he admired her even more.
He has always valued talent.
"How about a deal?" Feng Jue changed his negotiation style.
Since coercion doesn't work, then use bribery.
The man still displayed the arrogance and self-control of a superior, even if he had something to ask for.
Yan Ai was originally obsessed with this temperament of his. In addition, she also admired his strength and perseverance, as well as his strong ability to take action and execute.
But if this person only has ability and talent but no bottom line as a human being, then all of this is nothing in her eyes.
"Whatever the deal is, I refuse it."
Yan Ai was resolute and didn't hesitate at all.
As soon as she finished speaking, her father called.
Yan Ai picked up the phone and answered it while staring at the man in the middle of the sofa, "Hello, Dad."
Yan Zexun's gentle voice was filled with concern. "Xiao Ai, didn't you say you'd be there in about five minutes? Why haven't you arrived yet? Did you encounter something on the way?"
Yan Ai said, "Something delayed me for a while."
"Is it serious?"
"It's okay. I can handle it."
"Well, I'm glad you're okay. What do you want to eat for lunch?" Yan Zexun said, "I bought a lot of ingredients in advance. Dad can make whatever you want."
Yan Ai mentioned a few dishes and Yan Zexun agreed to them one by one.
In the living room, Feng Jue sat silently on the sofa listening to Yan Ai talking on the phone with his ex-father-in-law, with a hint of amusement at the corner of his lips.
The card he can play is not just Xingchen’s true identity.
After Yan Ai hung up the phone, she said directly to Feng Jue, "You heard it all. My dad is waiting for me. Please leave immediately."
Feng Jue's eyes flickered slightly, and this time he finally "listened to advice" and stood up. "Since you have something to do, let's continue the conversation another day."
Yan Ai frowned. This behavior was simply that of a scoundrel.
Feng Jue now has another negative label in her mind.
