Chapter 162 Are you starving again today?
To confirm his guess, Yan Tingnan suddenly picked her up and strode towards the bedroom.
"Yan Tingnan! It's broad daylight!"
Su Ruan kicked her legs in protest, but he held her firmly in his arms.
"It's better during the day."
He kicked open the bedroom door, placed her on the soft mattress, and then leaned down and pressed down on her.
"I can see you clearly."
"Wait... Yan Tingnan..."
Su Ruan was breathless from his kisses and protested indistinctly.
"Explain yourself first, what exactly..."
"Let's finish it first and then talk about it."
The sunlight was dazzling, and the air temperature rose.
He was more engaged and more absorbed than ever before.
"Soft."
"Um?"
"Call me husband."
Su Ruan's ears felt hot.
"…husband."
Yan Tingnan smiled with satisfaction and lowered his head to kiss her.
"Say it again."
"husband……"
"continue."
"Husband... um..."
The kiss landed, swallowing all the syllables.
He was more anxious than usual, but he was still gentle.
Su Ruan was swept along by him, and in a daze, she felt that he was unusually clingy today.
He seemed particularly fond of her.
It's like they're afraid of something.
It's as if it's trying to prove something.
The clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.
Yan Tingnan leaned against the headboard, and Su Ruan nestled in his arms, their sweaty chests pressed together.
He closed his eyes, his mind was clear, and the strange pulling and headache had vanished.
I felt completely refreshed, as if I had been thoroughly cleansed.
really.
Only she can solve it.
He confirmed it.
Only she can completely isolate herself from that damned plot force.
"Teacher Yan, you'd better explain this."
"I fed you so many times last night, how come you're so hungry today?"
Su Ruan suddenly spoke, her voice still soft and sweet from the aftermath.
Yan Tingnan remained silent for a moment, then gently stroked her smooth shoulder with his fingertips.
The emotions in his eyes shifted several times.
He swallowed back the words he was about to say about Mu Chuji and that absurd plot control.
There are currently too few clues about Mu Chuji's case, and the connections behind it are still unclear.
That bizarre control was even more absurd.
He didn't want to bother her with something that wasn't verified.
The matter has not yet been fully investigated, and it is unknown what kind of mysterious force is involved behind it.
He didn't want her to worry or become anxious too early.
He handles these dark and mysterious things.
He only needed to confirm that she was his antidote, and that he wouldn't be controlled by the plot to harm her.
That's enough.
Yan Tingnan spoke calmly, his eyes closed, and his chin brushed against the top of her head.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that holding you is more effective than any medicine."
Su Ruan lazily lifted her eyes.
"What new illness has Teacher Yan been diagnosed with?"
"Um."
He readily admitted it.
"Lovesickness, the kind that makes me feel headaches, heart palpitations, and general discomfort when I'm apart from you."
Su Ruan's face flushed, and she spat at him.
"Nonsense."
"Yan Tingnan, you're acting a bit strange today."
Yan Tingnan opened his eyes and looked down at her.
What's strange about it?
I can't explain it.
She raised her upper body, resting her elbows on his chest, her gaze intense.
"She seems particularly clingy?"
"Suddenly turned into a clingy person."
He chuckled softly and pinched the tip of her nose.
Is it illegal to be clingy to your wife?
"It's not illegal."
She laughed and dodged away, then lay back down, her face pressed against his chest.
Yan Tingnan grabbed her fingers and pressed them against his heart.
Beneath my palm, my heartbeat is steady and strong.
"Ruan Ruan, it's your fault for being so effective."
He paused, his voice deep and resolute.
"My life can only be secure if I'm attached to you."
Su Ruan drew circles on his heart with her finger and chuckled lazily.
She raised an eyebrow, then suddenly remembered the important matter.
"How did the meeting with Miss Lin go?"
Yan Tingnan played with her fingers, his tone indifferent.
“I took the house, but I didn’t accept the 30 million yuan compensation I had prepared for her.”
Su Ruan raised an eyebrow.
"You don't even want 30 million?"
"This little princess of the Lin family certainly has backbone."
"If it were me, I would have accepted it immediately."
After speaking, Su Ruan seemed to be deep in thought.
"So what are her plans next?"
She said she would find a job herself.
Yan Tingnan sighed.
"She's got guts; she's really going to start from scratch."
Su Ruan suddenly sat up, her long hair slipping down and brushing against his chest.
What was her major?
"Master of Management from UCL, with a minor in Marketing."
Yan Tingnan looked up and pinched her earlobe.
"The Lin family groomed him to be the spouse of the Yan family's heir, and their overseas connections are more extensive than I thought."
Su Ruan's eyes suddenly lit up, like a cat seeing a fish, but she quickly suppressed it, only letting out a lazy "oh" before lying back down.
Management, marketing, and international connections.
Every point precisely addresses SoftVoice's current weaknesses.
Both she and Song Shengsheng are graduates of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, but the company's management became chaotic after its expansion, and overseas channels were slow to open up.
This is like a teammate sent from heaven.
"You should get some sleep."
Yan Tingnan pulled the thin blanket over her.
"I'll take you to the newly opened Japanese restaurant tonight."
Su Ruan was indeed exhausted from his antics, and her eyelids felt heavy.
She gave a muffled "hmm," clearly exhausted, and her breathing soon became even.
Yan Tingnan hugged her, patting her back lightly with his palm, like coaxing a child.
As the sun began to set, the bedroom was completely quiet.
My phone vibrated.
He quickly pressed the mute button and glanced at the incoming call.
Jinghuai.
Carefully withdraw your arm, get out of bed and leave the bedroom before answering.
"explain."
"President Yan, we've investigated and confirmed it."
"Mu Chuji, a junior majoring in Chinese Literature at Peking University, is an orphan who supports herself through scholarships and part-time jobs."
"The background is as clean as a blank sheet of paper, with no unusual social circles."
Yan Tingnan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Too much cleanliness makes it suspicious.
"Use any means necessary to get her out of Beijing."
"Never appear again."
Jing Huai remained silent for a moment.
"If she refuses..."
"Then you'll have no choice but to agree."
Yan Tingnan turned around, her gaze sweeping across the crack in the bedroom door.
"Give money if you need it, pave roads if you need them."
"If you refuse a toast offered in kind..."
A hint of malice flashed in his eyes.
"You know what to do."
"Yes, Mr. Yan."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Tingnan's eyes remained calm.
The strange occurrences we see today are no accident.
Just who exactly is Mu Chuji?
Where does this so-called plot attraction intend to drag him?
His eyes darkened, a hint of coldness flashing across them.
Regardless of what's behind it.
We must be prepared to be uprooted.
Yan Tingnan paused for a moment on the screen, then dialed another number.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered; Yan Yunye's voice was hoarse and tired.
"dad?"
"Come to the Dan Palace now."
"Half an hour, don't keep me waiting."
Twenty-eight minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Yan Yunye stood outside the door, his eyes were dark and he looked like he had been ripped out of his body.
"You were looking for me?"
"Mu Chuji."
Yan Tingnan interrupted him, getting straight to the point.
"What else do you know about her from the storyline you've seen?"
Yan Yunye suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting.
"You saw her?"
“Answer my question.”
Yan Tingnan's gaze was calm, yet it carried a sense of oppression.
Yan Yunye's Adam's apple bobbed, as if an invisible hand was choking him.
"She was a student in the Chinese Department of Peking University. Her parents died early, and she lived in poverty, but she was very resilient."
"Anything else?"
Yan Tingnan pressed for an answer, his tone calm.
"You will bump into her at a business forum next year. You will appreciate her talent and promote her to Qingyan."
It appeared even before the plot was released.
"Then?"
"Then, you will be irresistibly attracted to her."
"I felt she was pure and special, unlike any other woman you've ever met."
Yan Tingnan listened silently, her brows slightly furrowed.
The information is basically consistent.
It was absurd, yet it actually happened.
"How strong is this so-called plot attraction? What are its triggering conditions or patterns?"
He continued asking, his tone calm.
"Very strong, especially in face-to-face meetings and key moments, almost impossible to resist."
Yan Yunye answered him truthfully.
"It's like countless hands are tearing at your mind, forcing you to follow a predetermined script."
"knew."
Yan Tingnan nodded, seemingly having received the answer he wanted, and asked no further questions.
At this moment, the master bedroom door opened.
Su Ruan rubbed her eyes as she walked out, her nightgown strap slipping to one side, revealing a fresh hickey on her collarbone.
"Yan Tingnan, I'm hungry..."
The words came to an abrupt halt.
She froze when she saw Yan Yunye standing outside the door.
Yan Yunye looked away as if he had been electrocuted, his ears burning instantly, feeling incredibly embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.
Su Ruan quickly regained her composure, adjusted her shoulder strap, and raised an eyebrow at Yan Tingnan.
"Oh, your big son is here?"
Yan Tingnan reached out and naturally pulled her to his side.
"woke up?"
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, oblivious to everyone else.
“Perfect timing, Yunye has something to say.”
Yan Tingnan looked at the frozen Yan Yunye and delivered a thunderous sound in a calm voice.
"Since you're leaving, it's time to formally change how you address me before you go."
