Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan frowned.
Her premonition came true.
She wouldn't delve into the details of a deceased person, regardless of whether they were Rong Zhaonan's white moonlight or cinnabar mole, even if she still felt somewhat depressed.
But it's pointless to get bogged down in trivial details.
Having lived two lives, she wasn't so easily swayed. Rong Zhaonan was now her man, and she genuinely felt that he treated her well and loved her—that was enough.
No one can take her man away; she wouldn't stoop to the level of other women fighting over a man.
So when Qin Hongxing came to her and started nagging, she didn't even think to ask Rong Zhaonan about it.
Who doesn't have a past?
but……
When Aheng told her about the various grudges behind Ye Qiu's matter, she had a bad feeling.
My tendency to fuss over trivial matters is partly thanks to that handsome guy Rong Zhaonan.
She made a point of asking him about Ye Qiu, as a way of giving him a hint and helping him resolve his troubles.
He always prefers to handle things quietly.
Ning Yuan sighed, took his hand, and looked up at him with her big eyes—
“Rong Zhaonan, we are husband and wife. I don’t want to know every detail of your past. I’ve never been that controlling.”
I've only had this peaceful life for half a year, and now it's the busiest time of my life. I really don't want to be messed with again... Boss!
Ning Yuan paused, then said softly, "But could you tell me exactly how you offended someone? I've only heard it from others, so let's not have any misunderstandings, okay?"
When Rong Zhaonan held her soft little hand, the anger and rage in his heart subsided considerably.
His expression calmed down considerably, and he wearily reached out to hug her: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for causing this trouble. I'll find a way to handle it."
When he decided to end the secret marriage and bring her back to Beijing to meet his father and friends there, he knew that his family would eventually come looking for her.
Rong Zhaonan paused for a moment, then said, "I said I wanted to take you back to Beijing for the summer vacation because I received definite news that the situation in Beijing will change in two to three months at the earliest, and the old man of the Xiang family will no longer be able to protect the Xiang family."
He gave a cold sneer: "When the time comes... if they dare to lay a finger on me again, I will tear the Xiang family apart!"
In the past two years, he has been traveling around doing temporary jobs, all so that he can become self-reliant and independent without relying on his father.
Ning Yuan then understood why he had suddenly decided not to keep their marriage a secret.
"However, I didn't expect the Xiang family to find us so quickly." A dark, simmering anger flashed in Rong Zhaonan's usually cold eyes.
The Xiang family has a health system in every area they control, so it's likely that the investigation of those two drugs caught their attention.
Ning Yuan leaned against his broad chest and sighed, "It's just that man proposes, God disposes. There's nothing I can do. I'm your wife, so of course I have to share your joys and sorrows."
When she decided to become husband and wife with him, she was somewhat prepared—being with a powerful man meant there would inevitably be trouble.
But having enjoyed the benefits and beauty of Young Master Rong, one must naturally accept the trouble that comes with it.
Speaking of which, it must have been quite difficult for Ms. Cha Meiling to be the wife of a leader in her past life.
Ning Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Rong Zhaonan frowned: "Why don't you cancel this project and go back to school? The environment there is simpler, and it won't be easy for the Xiang family to make a move."
He knew what it would be like if the eldest and third sons of the Xiang family went mad.
If Ning Yuan were a student, her life of going back and forth between two points would be much safer.
Ning Yuan was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, she said, "But I can't leave right now. You know, I'm too deeply involved in this cooperation between the Ning family and the mainland."
"But I can't feel at ease letting the third son of the Xiang family stay by your side all the time!" Rong Zhaonan knew she cared about her work, so he could only hug her and coax her softly.
Ning Yuan hesitated for a moment: "The project has just entered the actual construction phase, and I originally planned to keep up with the progress in the first two months."
“By July or August, the main contents of the project will be handed over, and I can go back to Beijing with you for the summer vacation, so my work and study schedule will be very full during this period.”
Ning Yuan's delicate eyebrows were furrowed together.
She didn't know how well the renovation project of the Tenth Department Store was completed in her previous life.
However, in the current renovation project of the Tenth Department Store, the mainland team and the Hong Kong government team have only just begun to work together, lacking trust and experience in cooperation, and often have conflicts.
She was the bridge between them, and if she were to abruptly abandon her responsibilities, she would be letting down Uncle Qiao and her mother's trust.
And Ning Bingyu's... well, the opportunity he gave.
“The earth will keep turning even if no one is there, Ning Yuan. In my heart, your safety is more important than these projects. There will be more projects like this in the future, I promise.” Rong Zhaonan rubbed his temples, somewhat helplessly.
Ning Yuan still didn't want to easily give up the hard work she had put in so far: "With Aheng by my side, I promise to go between two points—the construction site and the hotel, okay?"
Rong Zhaonan's cold voice couldn't help but rise, and he gripped her arm tightly: "Can't you be a little more sensible?! Tang Zhenzhen was assassinated, and although there's no evidence, it's almost certain that they were the ones who did it. Two police officers also died with them. Do you know how dangerous they are?!"
Ning Yuan couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows and struggle, saying, "Rong Zhaonan, don't be so agitated, you're hurting me!"
Rong Zhaonan froze, released his hand, and rubbed his temples wearily: "Wife, I didn't mean it... Please listen to me this once, okay?"
Ning Yuan raised her eyes and looked at him calmly: "This is the second time you've lost your temper with me. You've never been so irritable and easily angered before. You're usually calmer than anyone else."
This is completely unlike the way Tai Sui behaves.
Rong Zhaonan closed his eyes: "Ning Yuan, you said it yourself, everyone has their own taboos. You don't need to test them again and again. No matter what happened in the past, it doesn't matter. The fact now is that Xiang Laosan is a dangerous person, and I can't let him stay by your side."
Ning Yuan was taken aback, and wanted to say something: "I didn't..."
"Alright, if you want to continue with the project, then go ahead. You've always valued your career, and I shouldn't be affecting you." Rong Zhaonan seemed to have suppressed his temper, calmly interrupting her.
He took a deep breath: "This is my own trouble. I will transfer Xiang Laosan away from you as soon as possible. He deliberately approached you. I didn't know where he was hiding at first, but now that I know, it will be easier for me to make arrangements."
Ning Yuan asked softly, "Rong Zhaonan..."
He rarely speaks so much all at once.
Rong Zhaonan's expression remained unchanged; he simply hugged her calmly and said, "Alright, that's enough for now. I'm leaving now; you still have to entertain your superiors later."
After saying that, he turned and strode out of the room.
Old Xu saw her at the door, could only nod apologetically, and followed Rong Zhaonan out the door.
Ning Yuan stood at the door. Aheng looked at her and whispered cautiously, "Xiao Ning, don't be angry. The captain is just too concerned about you, that's why he lost his temper like that."
The last time he saw his team leader acting so volatile and explosive was when he saw Ye Qiu's body at her funeral.
However, no matter how thick-skinned she is, she can't say such a thing.
"Sister Ye Qiu treats my brother like a younger brother! Who would like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy!" Ah Heng racked his brains, trying his best to comfort Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan gave a soft "Mmm".
He had a fight and broke up with her after the college entrance exam last year. This is probably the first time he's been angry with her in a year.
But compared to the last argument where he was ruthless, at least this time he was trying his best to be patient and restrained.
“I understand. Concern can cloud judgment. His plans have been disrupted, and I'm putting him in a difficult position. Let's go back to the restaurant first and not keep Uncle Qiao and the others waiting too long.”
Ning Yuan lowered her long, curled eyelashes and said softly.
She composed herself, suppressing her suffocating emotions, and put on her usual smile: "Alright, let's go."
After escorting Ning Yuan to the restroom, Aheng returned to the restaurant.
Xiang Ziying watched her sit down beside her and smiled slightly: "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight because of me?"
