But if his only goal is... her.
His identity could provide her with a lot of support. Even if she didn't want to admit it, Li Jingchen's identity was indeed an incredibly solid backing.
Song Nuan slightly tugged at the corner of her lips, banishing the jumbled thoughts from her mind. She tossed the dirty plate into the sink, looked at it for a few seconds, hesitated, and finally decided to hand it over to Li Jingchen.
It was too cold, and she didn't want to wash the dishes.
She retreated to her room to warm up.
At that time, Li Jingchen, standing under the eaves outside, was tall and dressed in thin clothes. Occasionally, a few snowflakes would fall on his hair and shoulders, making him look even colder.
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Your wife has almost found out about what you did at the club back then."
"Erase all traces and replace or send away everyone who knows."
Lin Xuan agreed.
"And Miss Song's identity..."
"Let's set up a fake identity for now. We can't expose her yet. We'll talk about everything after her divorce," Li Jingchen said coldly. "Take care of the flower garden too. Remember to wipe it clean."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jingchen lingered inside.
He pulled out a number, and the call log showed that the last call was made six months ago.
He dialed the number expressionlessly.
Not long after, a clear yet gentle voice rang out from the other end, "Jing Chen, what made you think of looking for me?"
"Don't investigate my people."
His voice was cold, mercilessly puncturing Jiang Jieting's facade. To him, there was no need to pretend to be a loving mother and respectful son, since they weren't family anyway.
Jiang Jieting laughed upon hearing this, having anticipated it, and responded calmly.
"Since she's your girlfriend, I should at least prepare a gift for our first meeting. How can I give a gift without knowing anything about her?"
"So thoughtful?"
Li Jingchen sneered, "Since you want to give her a gift, why not give her the shares of Li's Group that you hold? I guarantee I'll promote her as a nice mother-in-law online."
Jiang Jieting's face suddenly darkened.
Li Jingchen didn't give her a chance to speak at all, "What, you're reluctant?"
"beep--"
She hung up the phone immediately.
Li Jingchen glanced down at the screen, then put his phone away, his expression indifferent and unreadable.
Song Nuan was completely unaware of this.
It snowed for several days in Country A. Song Nuan occasionally had the urge to go out and play, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw the snow piled up to half her calves and went back inside.
Li Jingchen spends most of his time at home with her.
It's called "accompanying," but it really just means being under the same roof while each doing their own thing.
He was in meetings every day. After the meetings, he would review documents and listen to reports. When he had a spare moment, he would go into the kitchen to prepare three meals and snacks for Song Nuan.
Song Nuan barely exchanged a few words with him.
Oh, there's just one thing: he's staying in the master bedroom and refuses to go back to the second bedroom to sleep, saying the heating in the second bedroom is broken.
Song Nuan didn't believe it, so she moved in and slept there for one night.
As a result, I got so cold in the middle of the night that I had to go back to the master bedroom.
Fortunately, Li Jingchen was just sleeping and didn't do anything inappropriate, so Song Nuan let him be.
Just use them as multiple bed warmers.
That evening, Li Jingchen finished early, leaving the study at eight o'clock. Song Nuan had just finished showering when he brought warm tonic soup into the room.
Song Nuan glanced at it and frowned, "What's that smell? It stinks."
"It's good for your health, listen to me, drink it."
"I don't want it." Song Nuan resisted, pushing it back to him, "I don't have anything to make up for."
"Sure?"
Song Nuan nodded emphatically.
Li Jingchen didn't make things difficult for her. He took the soup back to the kitchen and then went to wash up with his pajamas.
The door closed, and Song Nuan took her phone and walked to the balcony, closing the door behind her.
She opened Qin Yuchuan's WeChat.
Ten minutes ago, Qin Yuchuan sent a message, not a rebuttal to the warning Song Nuan had sent him a few days ago, but a photo that Song Nuan considered dangerous—
A photo of her and Li Jingchen together.
The photo was taken at a university. That day, Song Nuan went to Ouyang Chengyi's school to testify in the principal's office. She then rode in Li Jingchen's car to the police station.
The photo was taken at that time.
Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the camera captured Li Jingchen opening the car door for her, but there was no physical contact, not even eye contact.
but……
Qin Yuchuan called.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she swiped to answer the call, and his voice rang in her ears, "Song Nuan, have you seen the photos?"
Song Nuan smiled nonchalantly, "You want to use this photo to convict me?"
"I told you, you can go abroad, but you have to keep your distance from men. You agreed readily, and what happened?" He sneered. "Don't you have an explanation?"
What kind of explanation do you want?
Qin Yuchuan remained silent.
Song Nuan found it amusing. "I've checked Qin's stock market, it's very stable, it hasn't fallen at all. Besides, there's no trending topic about me and Lu Ziyang in China. Only you care about this."
"The contract only requires me to be responsible for the shares in Qin's company; I have no obligation to be responsible for your emotions."
In Qin's office, Qin Yuchuan's face was terrifying.
He went to great lengths for this photo, desperately trying to prove that Song Nuan had violated the contract and to force her to return to China. But all she said was, "I have no obligation to be responsible for your feelings."
When are you going back to China?
Song Nuan frowned, wondering what he was planning again. "Didn't I say I would go back before the day we agreed on to get our divorce certificates?"
He glanced at the electronic calendar and coldly demanded, "Come back in three days, and I'll buy you a plane ticket."
Song Nuan was almost laughing in anger.
"Qin Yuchuan, can't you understand human language?"
"The Qin family has a new project, and there's no one to take charge of it for the time being. I'm very busy. You can come back and help me with the preliminary work first, and then you can go back to Country A later."
Song Nuan realized that he and Ouyang Zhoujing were the same kind of people. At least Ouyang Zhoujing had a hidden talent and a bit of a show of face, while Qin Yuchuan was both stupid and arrogant.
And they're so self-righteous.
"I've already resigned," she said coldly. "I have nothing to do with anything at the Qin family. Find someone else."
Qin Yuchuan said coldly, "You haven't finished your resignation procedures yet!"
Song Nuan didn't respond at all. "If you really have no one else available, I can recommend someone to you. Fang Yu has been by my side all along. She can handle the work in the project department. If you can't solve it, just ask her."
"you……"
"Qin Yuchuan," Song Nuan interrupted him, her voice neither warm nor cold, "The day of divorce is not far off, so don't do these upsetting things. I wish you and Song Ningxue well, and please let me go too."
"I know it sounds ridiculous to say this, but I'm begging you, for the sake of our friendship of over twenty years, let's not make things too ugly at the last minute."
“There’s nothing between me and Lu Ziyang. You can hire as many people as you want to monitor and follow me, it won’t make a difference.”
Even though they were separated by a phone and half the globe, Qin Yuchuan could tell from her lukewarm words that she was determined to separate from him.
Isn't this what he's always longed for?
Dump her and marry Song Ningxue.
Why do I feel so depressed and irritable listening to what she says now?
