When it was over, Jiang Tian's cheeks were flushed, and tears were about to fall. She stayed in Zhou Yancheng's arms for a long time before her breathing became even.
"I know you're young, but you need to exercise restraint..."
Zhou Yancheng's hand caressed her lips. Her lips, which were originally pink, now had a rosy hue and were swollen.
He didn't answer her, but simply picked her up and combed her hair with his hands.
Jiang Tian's hair is as smooth as silk and doesn't require much styling.
Then he put her shoes back on.
"Alright, I'll send you back before those filthy things arrive."
Jiang Tian could only let him lead her, while Zhou Yancheng carried the thermos in his other hand as the two went downstairs.
Just as he saw Jiang Tian off in a taxi and returned to his workstation, his boss arrived.
Seeing Zhou Yancheng beaming with joy and even looking radiant, he frowned slightly and asked with a smile, "Yancheng, have you finished all your work yesterday?"
"Yes, I've already sent it to your email. Please tell Zhou Chenglai that if I get involved in this kind of work again, some of the company's dirty dealings might come to light."
The leader's scalp tightened. He had only given Zhou Yancheng a bunch of data from previous years to sort through, intending to make things difficult for him. If Zhou Yancheng actually found something fishy in it, then he would be in trouble...
After all, President Zhou only said to keep an eye on him and make a little trouble for him, but he didn't say that he would be involved in company affairs.
The leader's face darkened completely.
Zhou Yancheng remained calm and composed. He sent a message and was relieved to learn that Jiang Tian had returned.
Jiang Tian's return was not so smooth; she was stopped before she even got upstairs.
Jiang Qing and Chen Fenglie came to ambush her again.
There was no other way; her old friend was arriving in a few days, and if she didn't get the jade pendant quickly, the project Jiang Qing wanted to do would fall through.
That old friend's connection was indispensable to her.
She had only been in the Jiang family company for a short time, and being parachuted in, many people were not convinced by her.
If Jiang Qing wants to gain control of the company, she needs to achieve results.
The key now lies with Jiang Tian.
Upon seeing Jiang Tian from afar, Jiang Qing spoke up: "Sister, can't we have a proper talk?"
Jiang Qing had been arguing with Chen Fenglie for several days, but she really didn't want to see Jiang Tian alone.
Between them, Jiang Tian would always be inferior to her. For a jade pendant, she was expected to bow down to her, which Jiang Qing resisted from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Fenglie stood by without saying anything. He was always rough and direct in his actions. He threatened Jiang Tian, and she was willing to hand over anything.
However, Jiang Qing was concerned about the Jiang family's reputation and refused to accept his suggestion, so they had to make another trip.
"We can talk, but I won't lend you the jade pendant."
Jiang Tian took a few steps closer, and Chen Fenglie, with his excellent observation skills, immediately noticed that her lips were somewhat swollen.
The clothes showed signs of being straightened, and the hair was a bit messy...
Chen Fenglie ignored the subtle discomfort in his heart and revealed a strange smile.
Instead of continuing to advise Jiang Tian as Jiang Qing had said, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You went out so early in the morning. You must be very busy."
"Um, I'm very busy. I need to go upstairs to catch up on some sleep. Can you let me pass?"
Jiang Tian did not deny it.
Chen Fenglie's suspicions were further confirmed.
"As long as you lend us the jade pendant, we'll leave immediately without any delay."
Chen Fenglie decided to try diplomacy first, then resort to force.
"No, I said I wouldn't lend it to you, yet you still come knocking on my door. Do you want to get a cold shoulder?"
Chen Fenglie narrowed his eyes: "If you lend it to me, I won't tell Zhou Yancheng about your situation, and you can continue living your lives peacefully. If you don't lend it to me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Jiang Tian finally looked at him: "What's wrong with me?"
Seeing that she remained defiant, Chen Fenglie sneered, "What do you think?"
“Keep an eye on your boyfriend and stop him from using cryptic language all the time.”
Jiang Tian stopped looking at Chen Fenglie and only reminded Jiang Qing.
After she finished speaking, she walked past them and planned to go upstairs.
“You went out to find someone else and didn’t come back until early this morning. If Zhou Yancheng finds out, do you think he will still be on your side?”
Jiang Tian paused, turned around, and looked at Chen Fenglie.
The malice in his tone was almost impossible to hide, though of course he had no intention of hiding it.
"Is this what you're going to tell Zhou Yancheng? That I've cheated on him?" Jiang Tian raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Qing listened from the side, biting her lip, and remained silent.
As long as she could achieve her goal, Jiang Qing didn't care if Chen Fenglie used some underhanded methods.
Moreover, as Jiang Qing scrutinized Jiang Tian, she wondered if Jiang Tian had really cheated on her...
"Although Zhou Yancheng has fallen from grace, he is not without temper. You'd better give the jade pendant to Qingqing. I'll pretend I don't know anything about this and I'll even give you some money."
Chen Fenglie was certain that Jiang Tian was all bark and no bite, and remained completely calm and collected.
Jiang Tian stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed: "Chen Fenglie, with your keen observation skills, do you think I would have cheated on you during those seven years of our sexless marriage?"
Chen Fenglie's eyes instantly turned cold!
He married Jiang Tian for Jiang Qing's sake, but he's very possessive. What if Jiang Tian really dares to cheat on him at that time...?
Chen Fenglie's whole body tensed up, his expression somber.
At this moment, he desperately tried to recall whether Jiang Tian had done anything behind his back.
"Think it over carefully, I'll go first."
"Sis, aren't you afraid we'll tell Zhou Yancheng?"
Seeing that Jiang Tian was about to reach the stairs, Jiang Qing couldn't hold back any longer.
As the deadline drew ever closer, Jiang Qing was truly at her wits' end.
She only cared about achieving her goal and didn't care about anything else.
Tell me what?
Before Jiang Tian could reply, Zhou Yancheng, who had just gotten out of the taxi, heard this.
