《Marriage Called Off After Rebirth》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue was poisoned, and she fell to the ground as she stared fixedly at the two people kissing in front of her. One was her newlywed husband, Xiao Yu, and the other was her good friend, Xue Na. What a joke! The two people closest to her had actually plotted to murder her so that they could get her assets. All the happiness that she previously felt was a joke, a complete lie! How disgusting! Xue Na mocked her, ¡°Qin Yue, don¡¯t blame me. How could you be so stupid? Let me tell you something. Your mother¡¯s death wasn¡¯t an accident, but a murder. Don¡¯t you want to know who the murderer is? Go to hell and ask her yourself!¡± Qin Yue¡¯s eyes widened at this statement, and she spat out a mouthful of black blood. In her agitation, the spread of the poison hastened, and her eyes gradually became dazed. Bang! A loud collision sounded from outside the door. A tall man limped in, holding a gun in his hand and shooting at Xiao Yu and Xue Na, both of whom were attempting to escape. ¡°Qin Yue! Hang in there!¡± It was Kan Chen. Qin Yue didn¡¯t expect to see this man, who loved her deeply but was hurt badly by her, right before she died. ¡°Qin Yue! Qin Yue! Look at me!¡± Kan Chen felt as though he was going crazy. He roared in despair, as he hugged Qin Yue in his arms and tried to warm her cold body with his body temperature. Qin Yue was already unable to speak. Internally, she was mocking herself for her stupidity. It turned out that the man she hated the most in this life was the one who truly loved her. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets. ¡­ ¡°Miss Qin? Are you satisfied with this dress? Miss Qin?¡± Hearing the clamor in her ears, Qin Yue opened her eyes to see a group of people surrounding her. There was a full-length mirror in front of her, and a few hideous scars covered her exquisite facial features. From the reflection in the mirror, Qin Yue was wearing a gown, and under the soft lights, she was dazzling. ¡°Where¡­ This is¡­ What day is it¡­ Today?¡± Qin Yue crumbled onto the ground and rubbed her neck. She could still feel a searing pain in her throat, which had been corroded by poison, and it was difficult for her to even speak. The people surrounding Qin Yue looked panicked. Qin Yue was acting normally just now, so why did her face suddenly turn so pale? ¡°Miss, what¡¯s wrong? This is Pronovias, the bridal shop! Aren¡¯t you here to try on the dress that Young Master Kan custom-made for you?¡± Qin Yue¡¯s bodyguard helped her up, then placed the mask which covered half her face and covered the ugly scars on her face. After hearing the bodyguard¡¯s words, Qin Yue¡¯s face instantly turned ashen. This was something that happened two months ago¡­ She had been reborn! As Qin Yue looked at the calendar, her memories flooded her mind. It was 7th May. Today, Kan Chen had forced Qin Yue to come to the bridal shop to try on a gown. In her previous life, Qin Yue had cried and made a scene at the bridal shop, saying that she wanted to end the engagement. She had even shredded the dress in front of everyone. This action completely infuriated Kan Chen. He carried her back to the Kan mansion, saying that he would imprison her there for half a month, until the day of their engagement party. On the tenth day, Qin Yue escaped and eloped with Xiao Yu. ¡°Kan Chen! Where is Kan Chen?¡± Qin Yue rushed out of the fitting room, shouting his name at the top of her voice as she frantically searched for him. Downstairs, Kan Chen was standing in the hall. Qin Yue slowly walked down the stairs, and tears of grievance and regret streamed down her face. At this moment, Kan Chen was still in perfect health. In her previous life, Kan Chen had gotten into a car accident when he chased after Qin Yue and Xiao Yu. The injury on his left leg was the most serious, and because of the delay in treatment, he became a disabled man. Kan Chen looked up at Qin Yue, his eyes filled with coldness and anger. What was this woman up to this time? Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue stood in front of Kan Chen and looked deeply into his eyes. This was the first time she looked at him so seriously. The man in front of her was the man who loved her the most. However, she had mistakenly fallen in love with a jerk in her previous life, ruining herself and destroying his future in the process. Kan Chen frowned as he looked at her, his eyes filled with wariness. What was she trying to do? Call off the engagement in public? When Qin Yue approached him, he subconsciously wanted to take a step back. This distance was too close. Under normal circumstances, Qin Yue would approach him so that she could ambush him and escape. Unexpectedly, Qin Yue reached out and held his face. Then she kissed him on the lips in front of everyone. Kan Chen¡¯s body instantly stiffened. Usually, she avoided him like a plague, and would belittle his presence. She hated him so much that she didn¡¯t even want to stand together with him. Yet, she actually kissed him today? The reporters who had squeezed in from outside the door exclaimed in surprise. They raised the cameras in their hands, and the cameras flashed continuously, capturing the image of their kiss. Ever since Kan Chen and Qin Yue got engaged, the paparazzi had, on a few occasions, exposed scandals about the two of them. It was rumored that this young heiress from the mafia always wore a mask because she was ugly, and this young master from a large financial corporation didn¡¯t like her at all. It was a marriage of convenience, all for the sake of profits. Moreover, the young master of the financial corporation had violent tendencies. He would often beat and scold the mafia heiress, and he had even placed her under house arrest. The relationship between the two of them was very turbulent. However, from the looks of it now, they were a loving couple. Everyone was clapping for the new couple, and only Kan Chen and Qin Yue¡¯s bodyguards were shocked. Why did Miss Qin, who was usually arrogant and overbearing, suddenly become so gentle? After a second of hesitation, Kan Chen wrapped his arms around Qin Yue¡¯s waist and responded to her kiss resolutely. His kiss was filled with a hint of vengeance and ruthlessness. Since she liked to act in public, he would play along with her! Qin Yue moaned and frowned slightly, but she willingly accepted this rough kiss. Kan Chen ravaged her soft lips, then bit down on them like a small punishment. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± Qin Yue groaned. Her hand caressed Kan Chen¡¯s chest, and she weakly gripped his shirt. After a long while, he broke away from the kiss. Looking at her flushed face, his gaze softened. Although she was acting again, he had been looking forward to this kiss for a long time. ¡°Can you promise never to leave me?¡± Qin Yue looked at Kan Chen, her eyes filled with grievance and regret. There was no longer any disgust or resistance. Kan Chen paused for a moment, then suddenly grabbed her hand tightly. With his back facing the camera flashes outside, he hid her in his embrace and questioned softly, ¡°What tricks are you trying to play again?¡± ¡°I just wanted to apologize to you properly¡­¡± Qin Yue knew that Kan Chen wouldn¡¯t believe her so easily. After all, she had lied to him countless times before. Kan Chen¡¯s expression was solemn, and his tone was ruthless. ¡°Whatever it is that you¡¯re trying to do, I won¡¯t give you a chance to break off the engagement. You won¡¯t be able to escape from my hands for the rest of your life!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Hey! I was wondering why it was so lively here. It turns out that the President of the Kan Corporation is here. What¡¯s the matter? Are you trying to bully Qin Yue in public again?¡± A woman¡¯s voice sounded from the door. Qin Yue looked at the owner of the voice, and the anger in her heart was ignited. Xue Na! When Kan Chen saw Xue Na, he sneered and released Qin Yue. ¡°I knew this would happen. I was wondering why you were so obedient today. It turns out that you were just stalling for time, waiting for your good friend to save you.¡± Qin Yue¡¯s gaze was like a knife piercing into Xue Na¡¯s body, but the latter didn¡¯t notice it at all, and she continued mocking Kan Chen. ¡°My good friend already has someone she likes. Kan Chen, why must you continue to pester her? All the ladies in the city dream of marrying you. Why must you make things difficult for someone who doesn¡¯t love you?¡± Xue Na had been hiding in the car and observing them. She thought that with Qin Yue¡¯s temper, she would cause a scene in front of the media and call off the engagement. However, since Qin Yue wasn¡¯t doing anything, Xue Na could only step out and fan the flames. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m right, Qin Yue?¡± Xue Na appeared victorious as she asked the question. She had been brainwashing Qin Yue every single day, telling her that Kan Chen was arrogant and conceited, and reminding her he would always ground her at home. She would also say that Kan Chen was a lunatic who was paranoid and violent, and if Qin Yue married him, it would be akin to entering the depths of hell. Qin Yue¡¯s hatred for Kan Chen had long seeped into her bones. Under usual circumstances, Xue Na¡¯s words would ignite her anger. However, Qin Yue suppressed her urge to kill Xue Na. Her cold hand grabbed Kan Chen¡¯s collar and she leaned against his shoulder. ¡°Xue Na, whoever told you that there¡¯s someone I liked? The person I¡¯ve always liked has always been Kan Chen.¡± ¡°What are you talking about, Qin Yue? Aren¡¯t you deeply in love with Xiao Yu? Are you being controlled by Kan Chen? Did he force you to lie?¡± Xue Na was shocked. Yesterday, Qin Yue had even asked her to help think of a way to force Kan Chen to break off the engagement. Why did she suddenly change her mind today? Didn¡¯t she hate Kan Chen to death? Wasn¡¯t she anxious to marry Xiao Yu? Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Xiao Yu? Who is that?¡± Qin Yue¡¯s hand gently caressed Kan Chen¡¯s face, and her icy tone was like a bolt of lightning that struck Xue Na. Qin Yue¡¯s family was very powerful, while Xiao Yu was a pauper without anything to his name. In her previous life, Qin Yue was afraid that her father would kill Xiao Yu if he found out about their relationship, so she had always been secretly protecting him. Very few people knew about their relationship. ¡°You¡­ You¡¯ve been with Xiao Yu for ten years. Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯ve forgotten about it?¡± Xue Na was a little flustered, and her eyes widened as she reminded Qin Yue, unwilling to give up. ¡°Do you have any evidence? No wonder there were rumors online that my relationship with Kan Chen wasn¡¯t good. It turns out that you were the one who spread the rumors.¡± Qin Yue leaned on Kan Chen¡¯s shoulder, feeling aggrieved. Kan Chen remained silent. He observed Qin Yue¡¯s expression solemnly. He didn¡¯t expose her, because he wanted to see what she was up to. Qin Yue glanced at the trembling Xue Na. The reporters could already smell a trace of gossip, so they surrounded Xue Na and aimed their cameras at her. ¡°Miss Xue, were you really the one who spread the rumors online? Do you have evidence to prove that what you said is true?¡± ¡°What relationship does Xiao Yu have with you? Is he someone that you fabricated?¡± ¡°Could it be that you have a crush on Young Master Kan?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough! All of you, get lost!¡± The reporter¡¯s persistent questioning made Xue Na panic completely. She covered her face and got the bodyguards to protect her as she left the bridal shop. How could Qin Yue let Xue Na off so easily? She rushed up to hold Xue Na¡¯s arm and yelled, ¡°Stop right there! Xue Na, you haven¡¯t even made yourself clear! Why are you saying such things in front of my fianc¨¦? Aren¡¯t you my best friend?¡± Qin Yue was still tearing, and she looked pitiful under the camera. Xue Na, didn¡¯t you used to love to act all innocent? This time, let¡¯s see who¡¯s more convincing! Just as Qin Yue was about to tear Xue Na¡¯s clothes off, the latter quickly shoved her away. ¡°Let me go!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Qin Yue fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner. Her dress was torn, revealing her smooth thighs. Kan Chen had been staring at Qin Yue the entire time. When he saw her fall, he nimbly rushed over, pushed Xue Na away, and covered her legs with his jacket. He then warned the reporters loudly, ¡°No one is allowed to take any photos!¡± With a signal from Kan Chen, the bodyguards surrounded the reporters and confiscated their cameras. The reporters didn¡¯t dare to offend this famous tycoon, so they could only let their cameras be snatched away. ¡°Kan Chen! She ruined my dress! You custom-made this dress for me!¡± Qin Yue continued to sit on the ground as she held onto Kan Chen¡¯s pants and sobbed in an aggrieved manner. Qin Yue knew that Kan Chen had spent a few months customizing this dress. He had hired the best tailor in the world, and the design had been amended countless times. However, in her previous life, she didn¡¯t know how to appreciate it. A cold glint flashed across Kan Chen¡¯s eyes. He looked up and glared at Xue Na. How could she easily offend Kan Chen, given his family background? Everyone looked at Xue Na, whose face instantly flushed red. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a dress? I didn¡¯t say that I wouldn¡¯t compensate her!¡± Xue Na glared at Qin Yue, then got her subordinate to pass her credit card to the salesperson from the bridal shop. ¡°Miss¡­ Your credit limit is too low.¡± The salesperson returned the card to Xue Na. ¡°Wh¡­ What?¡± Xue Na took out another card and cursed Qin Yue in her heart. This b*tch bought such an expensive dress? Her credit limit was six million dollars! ¡°It¡¯s still not enough,¡± the salesperson replied calmly. ¡°Your machine must be broken!¡± Xue Na started sweating. ¡°Are you trying to avoid paying for the dress? Can¡¯t the eldest daughter of the Xue family even afford a dress? This is a gift from Kan Chen, and it¡¯s very precious! If you don¡¯t pay for my dress today, I won¡¯t get up!¡± Qin Yue was also secretly surprised that this dress was so expensive. It seemed like Xue Na was destined to make a fool of herself today. More and more people gathered around, and the crowd started to discuss Xue Na¡¯s personality. They said that she must have deliberately caused trouble and ruined her good friend¡¯s engagement dress. ¡°Who said I can¡¯t afford it?!¡± Xue Na roared, taking out all her credit cards and throwing them on the ground. ¡°Swipe all of these cards!¡± It was only after all the cards had been maxed out that she managed to make up for the cost for the dress. In front of everyone, Kan Chen carried Qin Yue, who was sitting on the ground, and walked towards the luxury car at the entrance. ¡°Secretary Lee, remember this. No one from the Xue family is allowed to attend my engagement party with Miss Qin.¡± Famous people from all walks of life would be invited to the engagement party of someone from a large corporation. Those who were excluded would undoubtedly become adversaries to these people. Xue Na¡¯s face was pale. She didn¡¯t expect that she would cause so much trouble for her family just because she came to fan the flames. Also, why did Qin Yue suddenly become like this? Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Kan Chen sent Qin Yue home. Her father, Qin Ze, lashed out at her, ¡°How dare you create a scene in front of the reporters?! Do you know what kind of backlash you will receive if the masses saw your face? The Kan family cares a lot about their reputation. If they break the engagement because of public opinion, do you know how much resources we¡¯ll lose?¡± As Qin Ze roared in anger, he also smashed the teacup in his hand on the table. The ugly scars on Qin Yue¡¯s face made many aristocrats unwilling to get into a marriage contract with the Qin family. Unexpectedly, during an aristocratic gathering, Qin Yue had attracted the attention of Young Master Kan. Of course, Qin Ze would not let go of such a good business opportunity. Qin Yue sneered at her heartless father. ¡°When you decided on this marriage of convenience and forced me to marry Kan Chen, did you seek my approval?¡± ¡°What?!¡± Qin Ze couldn¡¯t believe that Qin Yue had rebutted him. Qin Yue stood up and clenched her fists as she shouted at Qin Ze, ¡°You sold me off like a commodity just for a small profit. Don¡¯t you think that you¡¯re being ridiculous?¡± Pa! Qin Ze¡¯s slap landed hard on Qin Yue¡¯s face. Qin Yue fell to the ground, and her mask fell off. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. ¡°How dare you! You don¡¯t have the right to speak in this family!¡± Qin Ze was fiercer than usual. ¡°You¡¯ve always only thought about yourself and your damned shady corporation! You¡¯ve never cared about me! If you still cared about your family, my mother wouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± The mention of her deceased mother angered Qin Ze, and he hit her viciously with his walking stick. ¡°Your mother founded this gang! After she died, I completed her final wish and brought the family to greater heights! What have you done for this family? Her death was an accident! What right do you have to go against me?!¡± Qin Yue lay on the ground and protected her head with her arms. However, she didn¡¯t cry this time. Instead, she refuted his words loudly, ¡°Her death wasn¡¯t an accident! It was a murder! A murder!¡± ¡°You brat! All you know how to do is to spout nonsense! I¡¯m going to tear your mouth apart!¡± Qin Ze didn¡¯t listen to Qin Yue¡¯s words at all. Instead, he hit her even harder. Qin Yue¡¯s arms were littered with wounds, and her nose and mouth were covered in blood. She had fallen unconscious. ¡°Sir, calm down! Young Miss is about to be beaten to death!¡± It was only after the bodyguards restrained the angry Qin Ze that they could save the bloodied Qin Yue. ¡°Lock her up! Don¡¯t let her out without my order!¡± In her daze, Qin Yue felt herself being lifted up. Qin Ze¡¯s curses sounded further and further away. She smiled bitterly in her heart as tears flowed out of her tightly shut eyes. When Qin Yue was young, only her mother, Gu Zhen, cared and doted on her. It was only after Gu Zhen was found dead in a mass grave in the suburbs that Qin Ze took over her gang. Qin Yue thought that Qin Ze would care more about her after Gu Zhen¡¯s death. However, apart from managing the gang, all he did was to force Qin Yue to learn all sorts of combat and business knowledge. He had never asked her what kind of life she wanted. Later on, Qin Yue met Xiao Yu, who pretended to be in love with her. She firmly believed that she had found love, and could lead a normal life. However, the reality was that Qin Yue had always lived under the facade of all these heartless lies, and eventually paid the price with her life. Qin Yue lay on the bed, her body in so much pain that she couldn¡¯t move. It was only then that she realized how weak and stupid she was. She didn¡¯t have any ability, and she was unable to take revenge for her mother. Qin Yue looked at the ceiling and clenched her fists. I will make those who caused my mother¡¯s death pay the price, and make those who caused my death wish that they were dead! Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Qin Yue recovered from her injury, she started to practice martial arts in the gym at home. The few sparring partners around her had already been beaten to the ground. Even the bodyguards who were protecting her started to fear her. They didn¡¯t expect the Young Miss to be so capable. She looked very much like Madam Gu Zhen from back then! The butler arrived at the gym and said, ¡°Young Miss, Mr. Xiao is here to see you. He¡¯s waiting outside the manor.¡± Xiao Yu didn¡¯t have the right to enter an aristocrat¡¯s manor as he pleased. Every time he came to look for Qin Yue, the butler or bodyguards had to inform her of his arrival. The butler realized that after hearing Xiao Yu¡¯s name today, Qin Yue didn¡¯t appear as excited and shy as she usually did. Instead, she clenched her fists tightly, and her gaze became terrifying. When Qin Yue walked out of the manor, her gaze on Xiao Yu had already turned extremely cold. She acted normally, but her body was trembling from anger and agitation. ¡°Darling! Have you successfully broken off the engagement?¡± When Xiao Yu saw Qin Yue shake her head, an almost undetectable trace of annoyance flashed across his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s fine, let¡¯s take it slowly. By the way, have you bought the car?¡± Xiao Yu¡¯s gentle voice made Qin Yue¡¯s heart tremble in fear. She couldn¡¯t help but recall the way he looked before he killed her. ¡°Oh, you wanted me to help you buy a new car?¡± Qin Yue felt as though there were small but sharp rocks stuck in her throat, and every word she said was extremely strenuous. She tried her best to keep her voice calm. ¡°But¡­ I don¡¯t have the money to buy a car anymore. My credit card has been frozen by my father. In fact, I wanted to borrow some money from you.¡± Xiao Yu was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect Qin Yue to suddenly ask him for money. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t have any money on me!¡± He was planning to drive the new car to the most expensive bar tonight, so how could he lend any money to Qin Yue? ¡°I haven¡¯t even said how much I want to borrow. I gave you so much money previously, where did you spend it all?¡± Qin Yue glanced at Xiao Yu. In the past, Qin Yue¡¯s love was very humbling. She always felt inferior because of her looks, so she tried her best to please Xiao Yu. She gave him whatever he wanted, because she was afraid that he would abandon her. ¡°Of.. Of course, I spent it all on the project.¡± Xiao Yu was a little angry, but he still suppressed his anger and lied with a smile. Since Qin Yue¡¯s family was so rich, wasn¡¯t it natural for her to spend money on him? Why did she suddenly ask such an overboard question? ¡°I was the one who provided the funds for the project. When have you ever invested in it?¡± Qin Yue glared at him. Xiao Yu felt that there was something different about Qin Yue today. Although she looked as ugly as usual, her aura seemed to have changed a lot. ¡°Darling, how could you doubt me? Also, you promised me that you would give me the car today!¡± Xiao Yu was really anxious. He grabbed Qin Yue¡¯s arm and shook it. He had never been rejected by her before. When Xiao Yu touched Qin Yue, her gaze immediately turned vicious. She suddenly raised her leg and kicked hard at Xiao Yu¡¯s stomach. The latter cried out in pain and was sent flying, his back smashing into the wall. Xiao Yu sat on the ground and held his stomach, almost fainting from the pain. He looked at Qin Yue, his face pale, and his eyes filled with disbelief. What was wrong with this ugly woman? Why was she so strong? ¡°I treated you so well, but you lost your temper at me over a car, and now, you¡¯re even shouting at me?¡± When Qin Yue saw that Xiao Yu was trying to get up from the ground, she ruthlessly stepped on his shoulder. Xiao Yu was stunned. Qin Yue, who usually stuck to him like a puppy, actually lost her temper! ¡°My dear, my darling, you¡¯re mistaken. I wasn¡¯t shouting at you!¡± Xiao Yu looked at the bodyguards behind Qin Yue, and didn¡¯t dare to shout at her like he usually did. He could only explain himself softly. ¡°Since you don¡¯t care about me, let¡¯s break up!¡± ¡°I was wrong! Don¡¯t be angry, Qin Yue! It¡¯s all my fault! I apologize to you!¡± Xiao Yu didn¡¯t expect her to break up with him. When he saw that she was leaving, he immediately crawled over and hugged her leg, apologizing profusely. If she broke up with him now, his plan would be ruined! ¡°I don¡¯t want to see you now!¡± Qin Yue grabbed Xiao Yu¡¯s hair and slapped him hard. Xiao Yu released his grip and covered his mouth, then lay on the ground and groaned in pain. This man actually dared to touch her. How disgusting! In a black convertible not far from the manor, a middle-aged man wearing a pair of sunglasses put out the cigar in his hand. He looked at Qin Yue and Xiao Yu, then took out his phone and made a call. ¡°It¡¯s time to take action.¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue started to focus on the company¡¯s development. She wanted to gain Qin Ze¡¯s trust so that he would not ground her any longer, but it was useless. She couldn¡¯t help but feel worried because she couldn¡¯t see Kan Chen. Thinking back, in her previous life, Kan Chen would always protect Qin Yue unconditionally. When Qin Yue was bewitched by a swindler and wanted to visit the slums to donate to a fictitious children¡¯s charity organization, Kan Chen locked her up at home until the swindler was arrested. When Qin Yue attended a gathering with some new friends, Kan Chen found her, knocked over the cup in her hand, and forcefully dragged her home. It was only later on that she found out that someone had drugged her wine, and it was Kan Chen who had saved her. Even when Qin Yue was kidnapped, it was Kan Chen who led his men and found her. During a shootout between the kidnapper and his bodyguards, Kan Chen removed his bulletproof vest and put it on for Qin Yue. He even used his body to shield her from the bullets. In her previous life, Qin Yue didn¡¯t know how to be grateful. She had paid the price for her stupidity, and now, she didn¡¯t want the person who loved her to be hurt again. Kan Chen had been busy with work during this period, and he frequently visited several prominent corporations. In Qin Yue¡¯s previous life, Kan Chen had a car accident three days later. She felt that it was necessary to remind him now, so that he could take precautions. Qin Ze was going to attend a meeting in a neighboring country tonight. Qin Yue chose some tight and lightweight clothes, packed her equipment, and stood at the door of the room, shouting, ¡°Open the door! I want to go to the gym!¡± ¡°Miss, you completed the highest intensity training yesterday¡­¡± The bodyguards guarding Qin Yue sounded tired. Qin Yue gathered the bodyguards at the gym and asked them to be her sparring partners. She even deliberately made them demonstrate some high-intensity movements. Before the bodyguards could catch their breath, Qin Yue got them to accompany her on a run around the manor. And in the evening, she rounded them up again at the swimming pool for a swimming competition with her. By the time Qin Yue returned to her room, the bodyguards were already exhausted from her torture. They stood by her door, unwilling to get up. The bodyguards were exhausted, while Qin Ze had already left the manor. This was the outcome that Qin Yue wanted. In her previous life, Qin Yue had been ashamed of being born into a triad family. She had always wanted to become a graceful and elegant socialite. Now, she was thankful that she had learned martial arts, inherited her mother¡¯s excellent genes, and had a stronger physique than ordinary people. When Qin Yue heard the snores of the bodyguards at the door, she quickly changed and climbed out of the fourth floor window with her climbing equipment. Qin Yue knew that there would be a very important meeting at Kan Chen¡¯s company tonight, so she would surely find him there. Kan Chen¡¯s office was on the top floor. In her previous life, Kan Chen had locked her in his office before. She knew the code to the door, so it was easy for her to hide from the security guards and enter the office. However, when she reached his office, he was nowhere to be seen. That was strange. Where was he? At this moment, a few voices suddenly sounded from outside the door. Qin Yue panicked. She was dressed like a thief now, and if she was discovered, she wouldn¡¯t be able to explain herself! As the voices got closer, she panicked and hid under his desk. ¡°If you mess this project up again, you¡¯d better f*cking get lost!¡± When the door opened, Qin Yue heard Kan Chen¡¯s angry roar. As he walked into the office, he continued to reprimand the managers behind him. Kan Chen was the head of his family and ran the most powerful corporation in Fei City. Many were envious of his background, and also admired his business tactics. Power, status, looks, talent. Kan Chen had it all. However, he was in a terrible mood right now because of a woman he couldn¡¯t get in contact with! Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue hid under her desk and tried her best not to make a sound. If she moved forward by a little bit, she might touch Kan Chen¡¯s leather shoes. Kan Chen sat down in front of his desk and threw a fit at his subordinates. ¡°If the project doesn¡¯t meet the standards this time, then¡­¡± Kan Chen stretched his leg out and stepped on Qin Yue¡¯s hand. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out in pain, but when she looked up, she met with Kan Chen¡¯s gaze, as he bent down under the table. Her eyes widened in embarrassment. What¡¯s going on? Everyone saw Kan Chen suddenly bending down for some inexplicable reason. After a moment, he sat up straight, and his tone clearly became much better. ¡°If the project still doesn¡¯t meet the standards, all of you should resign. I¡¯ve already made myself clear. Go and execute it now.¡± Kan Chen composed himself and signaled for his bodyguard to leave the room. Then, he frowned as he looked down at Qin Yue, asking her, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Kan Chen¡¯s tone and expression were very cold. Qin Yue rubbed her hand and tried to crawl out from under the table, but Kan Chen grabbed her by her neck and pushed her against him. She was on her knees, but her body was held tightly in his arms. It was almost suffocating. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you pick up my call? Or did you secretly run out of your house to go on dates with Xiao Yu again?¡± Kan Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. He pinched Qin Yue¡¯s chin and forced her to look at him. ¡°If I wanted to kill Xiao Yu, it would be easier than crushing an ant.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t look for Xiao Yu! I was locked up at home by Qin Ze! My phone was also confiscated! I¡¯m telling the truth! Also, you can¡¯t drive for the next few days! Please don¡¯t drive! I¡¯m begging you!¡± Qin Yue anxiously explained herself. A trace of hesitation flashed across Kan Chen¡¯s eyes when he saw her expression, but he quickly regained his usual cold demeanor. ¡°What act are you putting on again?! Why can¡¯t I drive?¡± Ever since the farce that she put on at the bridal shop, he felt that she had changed, but he couldn¡¯t put his finger around it. ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you. I swear that what I said is true! I¡¯ll never look for Xiao Yu again! But please, don¡¯t drive for the next few days! Remember, don¡¯t drive! It might be dangerous!¡± Qin Yue could tell at a glance that Kan Chen didn¡¯t believe her. She sounded almost like she was sobbing as she shook his body anxiously. No matter what, she had to make him believe that she was telling the truth. Now, looking at the healthy man before her, all she wanted was to beg him to forgive her. Kan Chen studied the woman in his arms. She had snuck into his office like a mouse, and now her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him pitifully. She was also wearing a sexy and tight-fitting outfit, and she carried some hiking equipment on her waist. Most importantly, she was looking directly into his eyes, her gaze filled with sincerity. However, he still couldn¡¯t forget that she was a liar. ¡°Sure. I promise not to drive. How many days?¡± ¡°Um¡­ I don¡¯t know. Maybe just this period¡­ Just before our engagement party?¡± ¡°Heh, sure.¡± Kan Chen let out a indiscernible sneer. ¡°Then when are we getting married?¡± ¡°Soon! Very soon! Once you have time on your hands, we can get married anytime you want!¡± When Qin Yue heard Kan Chen agreeing to her request, she felt relieved. She looked at his well-defined face, and after a long while, she realized that she had been acting rather insolently. She looked away awkwardly and wanted to stand up. ¡°I have to go. I¡­ I escaped secretly.¡± ¡°Did I allow you to leave?¡± Kan Chen grabbed Qin Yue¡¯s slender waist and carried her up. He then placed her on his lap and scrutinized her figure blatantly. Although she was a liar, although she had just said a bunch of ridiculous things, and although she had been missing recently, causing him to worry about her, this was also the first time she took the initiative to look for him. The tight-fitting clothes accentuated Qin Yue¡¯s beautiful figure. This was also something that Kan Chen had never seen before. He didn¡¯t expect the woman he fell in love with at first sight to have such an attractive figure. ¡°I, I¡¯ve already said what I needed to say¡­¡± Qin Yue avoided his gaze. Kan Chen hugged Qin Yue¡¯s slender waist tightly and whispered into her ear. His magnetic voice made Qin Yue¡¯s face flush red. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, on my territory, that means you¡¯re mine.¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Wait, wait a minute! I¡­ This, this is your office¡­¡± When Qin Yue was hugged by Kan Chen, she started to panic. After all, in her previous life, she had always avoided Kan Chen like the plague. She wasn¡¯t used to being so intimate with him. However, Kan Chen didn¡¯t care anymore. He was in a good mood now. Since Qin Yue had chased him all the way here, no matter what tricks she was playing, he wouldn¡¯t allow the woman he yearned for day and night to escape from his arms. ¡°You have to promise me that you won¡¯t drive for the next few days! Can you do that?¡± Qin Yue pressed her hand on his muscular chest, trying to push him away, as she emphasized her request again. Kan Chen buried his face in her neck and greedily inhaled her fragrance. He hugged her and closed his eyes for a long time. ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll arrange for someone to send you home now.¡± Kan Chen suddenly bit her neck hard, then released her and called his personal bodyguard in. When Qin Yue returned home, she heaved a sigh of relief. She touched the bite mark on her neck, somewhat confused as to why Kan Chen would let her off so easily. ¡­ During this period, Qin Yue started to focus on training her physique and learning how to run and manage the company. Qin Ze was very satisfied with Qin Yue¡¯s sudden change and her mature understanding of the company¡¯s operations. He let Qin Yue take over some of the corporation¡¯s businesses and lifted her confinement. When 17th May arrived, Qin Yue was especially nervous and kept in constant contact with Kan Chen. This was because in her previous life, Kan Chen had been in a car accident on this day. It was only at dawn the next day that Qin Yue finally felt relieved, as she was certain that Kan Chen was safe. For the past few days, Qin Yue didn¡¯t forget to investigate Xiao Yu and Xue Na¡¯s movements. Xue Na¡¯s family was also relatively powerful, so it would be difficult to investigate her secretly. However, Xiao Yu didn¡¯t have any status, and all his achievements were given to him by Qin Yue. Hence, it was easy to investigate his whereabouts. The people that Qin Yue sent to tail Xiao Yu had already brought back photos and videos of him. Qin Yue looked at the photos in her hand with an ugly expression. Qin Yue¡¯s phone was filled with messages of apology from Xiao Yu. However, in these photos, Xiao Yu was hugging a stripper at a nightclub and smiling elatedly. Although Qin Yue had already frozen the credit card that she gave to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu was still spending money frivolously in various nightclubs like he did in the past, eating and drinking, as well as engaging in vice and gambling. Qin Yue recalled how Xiao Yu had pretended to be a gentleman in front of her, telling her that he didn¡¯t like such places at all. Qin Yue had always thought that Xiao Yu was a man who often helped stray dogs, worked hard, but his talent was undermined. Therefore, she held Xiao Yu start his own company, bought expensive clothes for him, and even gifted him with a dog shelter for his birthday. Xiao Yu would be moved to tears by Qin Yue every single time, and would claim that he would love her forever. With Qin Yue¡¯s help, the peasant Xiao Yu became a self-made tycoon in the eyes of others. Qin Yue even introduced him to her good friend, Xue Na. Qin Yue felt like she was the happiest person in the world. She even fantasized that Xiao Yu could obtain Qin Ze¡¯s approval, she could get married to Xiao Yu, and have a blissful future. Now, Qin Yue was mocking herself for her stupidity in her previous life. Qin Yue wanted to take back everything that she gave to Xiao Yu. She also wanted him to experience the consequences of offending her. She wanted him to be unable to forget her in this lifetime! Qin Yue and Kan Chen¡¯s engagement party was going to be held in two days¡¯ time. In the afternoon, Qin Yue took a nap. When she woke up, she realized that she had received seven missed calls from Kan Chen. When she called him back, all she heard was Kan Chen¡¯s butler telling her, ¡°Kan Chen had a car accident, and he¡¯s in the hospital now.¡± Instantly, Qin Yue felt her entire body turn cold. How did this happen? Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The lights in the hospital¡¯s operating theater were on. Qin Yue stood at the door as tears fell uncontrollably. She thought that she could change everything, but she still saw the outcome that she didn¡¯t want to see the most. Why did this still happen? Hadn¡¯t Kan Chen avoided the time of the car accident in her previous life? ¡°What are you doing here? It¡¯s all your fault that my son ended up like this! Are you satisfied now?¡± Qin Yue turned around to see Kan Chen¡¯s mother standing there with tears in her eyes, looking at her with hatred. Qin Yue still remembered how well Xu Lan had treated her back then. However, she had completely disregarded the ties between the two families. She would cry and curse at the Kan family all the time, and had even lied to them countless times. In the end, Xu Lan became completely disappointed with her. But why did Xu Lan say that Qin Yue was the one who had caused Kan Chen to end up like this? Just as Qin Yue was about to ask about the cause of Kan Chen¡¯s accident, she saw him being wheeled out of the operating theater. Xu Lan immediately went up to him and held his hand tearfully. Kan Chen weakly opened his eyes and met Qin Yue¡¯s gaze. ¡°Kan Chen!¡± Qin Yue wanted to go up to him, but she was stopped by Xu Lan. ¡°Don¡¯t get close to my son! The Kan family is much more powerful than your family in terms of wealth and power. There are plenty of heiresses who want to pursue him! But because of you, Kan Chen got into a car accident! What right do you have to play with his feelings? Take her away! I don¡¯t want to see her again!¡± Xu Lan shouted furiously. No matter how hard Qin Yue tried to scream or apologize, it was useless. In the end, the butler still followed Madam Xu¡¯s orders and forcefully took her away. Xu Lan was in disbelief. In the beginning, she took care of Qin Yue like she was her own daughter. It was clearly the Qin family who proposed the marriage, but Qin Yue caused a scene at a cocktail party. In front of all the business people who attended the party, she declared that she wouldn¡¯t agree to the marriage no matter what, causing the Kan family¡¯s reputation to suffer. As Kan Chen¡¯s mother, how could she not know how much he had sacrificed for her? Was her precious son simply a chess piece in Qin Yue¡¯s eyes? ¡­ Qin Yue stood at the entrance of the hospital in a daze. She wasn¡¯t willing to leave, and she didn¡¯t know what to do before she could see Kan Chen. It was only when her good friend, Li Mo, called her and found her in the hospital, that she realized how pale she looked. ¡°Don¡¯t be too anxious. I¡¯ve retrieved the information about the accident. It wasn¡¯t a serious accident, so Kan Chen will be fine. I¡¯ll send you back first.¡± Li Mo noticed that Qin Yue was trembling and thought that she was cold, so he removed his jacket and draped it over her. He then forcefully brought Qin Yue to the car, then meticulously helped her to fasten her seatbelt and wiped the tears off her face. Qin Yue and him had known each other since they were young. Although Li Mo was a policeman, while Qin Yue was the daughter of a gang leader, there was nothing that he didn¡¯t know about her. He knew better than anyone that Qin Yue hated Kan Chen, but for some reason, she cried so badly after learning about his accident. As he focused on driving, he didn¡¯t forget to comfort Qin Yue. Qin Yue looked at Li Mo¡¯s handsome profile in silence. She hadn¡¯t met Li Mo for a long time. In her previous life, Li Mo had sensed that Xiao Yu was a dangerous person, so he had warned Qin Yue about him. However, she didn¡¯t believe his words. They had an argument, and she eventually broke off their friendship. Not long after, Li Mo died during an investigation, and Qin Yue didn¡¯t even have the chance to see him before he died. Qin Yue had been suppressing her emotions. After her rebirth, she was filled with joy and hope, but the terrifying memories of losing her loved ones in her previous life would bring her back into the abyss. She felt very tired. She had never felt so helpless before. At this moment, she finally couldn¡¯t take the enormous pressure anymore, and she started sobbing in despair. Am I really unable to escape the wheel of destiny? Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Since she couldn¡¯t reach Kan Chen on the phone and Xu Lan didn¡¯t allow her to visit him, she knew nothing about his injury. Qin Yue was at a loss. Fortunately, Li Mo told her important bits of information about the accident. There was something fishy about the accident. Qin Yue and Li Mo studied the surveillance footage at the police station. Li Mo frowned as he showed the photos of the accident to Qin Yue. ¡°Although it has been determined that it was an accident, there were no problems with Kan Chen¡¯s car. Furthermore, from the photos taken of the scene, it doesn¡¯t appear to be a simple accident.¡± It was only when Li Mo pointed this out that Qin Yue snapped out of her despair. She carefully scrutinized the photos and compared it to the surveillance footage. Initially, she only wanted to prevent Kan Chen¡¯s accident from happening, but she didn¡¯t consider the possibility that the supposed accident was an intentional setup. Li Mo asked, ¡°Did Kan Chen contact you the past few days? Do you know where he had gone?¡± ¡°Kan Chen seemed very busy the past few days. He was either at the office, at business meetings, or at home. There weren¡¯t any problems¡­¡± Qin Yue frowned and thought about it carefully. Then, her eyes widened.¡± Oh! There was actually a major problem¡­¡± Qin Yue scrolled through the news on her phone. Now that she had a good understanding of the business world, she quickly found out that on the day of the accident, there had been a massive shift in the business circle. ¡°As the young master of Pengfei Corporation, Kan Chen should have been in a meeting in his office that day to discuss a collaboration. The party that Pengfei Corporation was going to work with was Kunxiao Corporation, which belongs to my father. During such a critical juncture, Kan Chen was unexpectedly absent from the meeting, and even got into a car accident. In the end, the two companies were not able to come to a mutual agreement. This feels really suspicious.¡± Li Mo took Qin Yue¡¯s phone and looked at the business report. ¡°It¡¯s really quite strange. What could be more important than the cooperation of two powerful corporations?¡± Qin Yue patted Li Mo¡¯s shoulder and pointed at the surveillance footage. ¡°Look, there¡¯s someone in the video!¡± Li Mo and Qin Yue watched the surveillance footage carefully. A person whose countenance was indiscernible had tampered with the car. Not long after, Kan Chen came to the garage and drove off. All of this made sense now. If it was a premeditated murder, then Kan Chen¡¯s car accident would have been unavoidable. However, the surveillance camera couldn¡¯t capture the person¡¯s face clearly, since the person deliberately avoided the camera. It would be very difficult to catch the murderer. Holding his police cap, Li Mo patted Qin Yue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°We can¡¯t easily retrieve surveillance footage from a large corporation like Pengfei Corporation. I need to contact my superiors, and with approval, we can start investigating. There¡¯s been a sinister plot to murder the boss of a financial corporation. This is a serious situation. The higher-ups will take it seriously, and we¡¯ll surely be able to catch the suspect very soon.¡± Approval was needed? How long would it take to find the suspect then? I might as well look for the clues on my own! Qin Yue found an excuse to leave the police station and headed straight for Pengfei Corporation. The entrance and exit of the underground parking of Pengfei Corporation relied on facial recognition and a passcode. Moreover, Kan Chen¡¯s car was parked in an exclusive parking spot. Anyone who could enter the carpark and tamper with Kan Chen¡¯s car must have been very familiar with the structure of the building. Qin Yue stood in front of Kan Chen¡¯s luxury car in a daze. Kan Chen had kept five cars in the carpark. How could the person who tampered with the car be certain which car he would take? Qin Yue arrived at the Pengfei Corporation¡¯s security office. Taking advantage of the absence of the security guards, she wanted to copy a video of the surveillance footage around the building, hoping to study it herself. What she didn¡¯t notice was a figure quietly approaching her. A gust of cold wind came from behind her. When Qin Yue saw a black shadow reflect on the computer screen, she instinctively shifted her body to avoid the person behind. Bang! The person behind her had already smashed the metal rod in his hand down at the computer, and instantly, the screen cracked! Qin Yue was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly stabilized her footing, spun her hips and sent a flying kick behind her, landing squarely on that person¡¯s waist. The assailant grunted, tossed the iron rod away and attempted to escape. ¡°Who are you?!¡± Qin Yue quickly chased after him and reached out to pull the hat off his head. Unexpectedly, he stopped in his tracks, and a glint flashed from his hand as he turned around and pounced on Qin Yue. He had a knife! Qin Yue quickly grabbed the man¡¯s wrist and used the momentum to retreat a few steps back. Qin Yue didn¡¯t dare to hesitate. She nimbly avoided the knife in his hand, then clenched her fists and smashed them against the assailant¡¯s wrist. The knife fell from the man¡¯s hand. Qin Yue quickly grabbed the knife and stabbed it into his arm! ¡°Police! Don¡¯t move!¡± A few police officers appeared at the entrance of the fire escape. Just as Qin Yue was about to explain, she was kicked to the ground by the assailant. Within a few seconds, he was gone. ¡°Don¡¯t let him escape!¡± Qin Yue got up from the ground and wanted to turn to the police for help, but she was attacked by the stun gun in a police officer¡¯s hand. ¡°We¡¯ve captured a suspicious person. Please send backup!¡± After being electrocuted, Qin Yue lay on the ground, her body twitching from the shock. What? How did I end up as the suspect?! Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the police station, Li Mo bailed Qin Yue out. ¡°You¡¯re too willful. Why did you go and investigate the crime scene alone? Were you the one who thrashed the security system? The police are treating you as a suspect!¡± Qin Yue sneered, ¡°What?! I¡¯m a suspect?! I was followed, and that person even wanted to silence me. I almost caught him, if it weren¡¯t for those idiots who let the suspect go and pinned me to the ground instead!¡± Li Mo looked surprised. ¡°Are you sure that those policemen saw the assailant escape? The records indicated that you were alone in the car park, and that you were mistaken for a car thief.¡± Qin Yue was silent for a moment. Someone had probably bribed the police. This matter was not as simple as it seemed. Li Mo handed a document to Qin Yue. ¡°I¡¯ve also realized that this case is a little tricky. These are the leads that I¡¯ve found so far. There have been some gang activities at the scene of the accident.¡± After reading the document, her lips twitched. ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s Menghu Gang. What a small world.¡± Li Mo frowned. ¡°Menghu? That gang is extremely dangerous. Many violent attacks have been linked to them, but we haven¡¯t been able to gather enough evidence.¡± Qin Yue seemed to be recalling something bad. After a long while, she said, ¡°I can use my family¡¯s influence to help you investigate this gang. When the time comes, I¡¯ll send someone to stir up trouble in the gang so that you¡¯ll have time to investigate their internal units.¡± Li Mo shrugged. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you to Kan Chen¡¯s house first. Madam Xu was looking for you urgently. Kan Chen has already been discharged and is resting at home.¡± Qin Yue was stunned. ¡°Madam Xu?¡± Xu Lan was looking for me? What urgent matter could it be? However, that¡¯s not important. What¡¯s important is that I can finally see Kan Chen! ¡­ At the Kan Chen¡¯s home, Xu Lan sat down and faced Qin Yue with a serious expression on her face. ¡°I would like to ask Miss Qin for a favor. Please help to take care of Kan Chen for a few days. After he recovers, you can call off the engagement with him.¡± Qin Yue looked into her eyes. ¡°Madam Xu, since something happened to Kan Chen, of course I¡¯ll take care of him. However, I won¡¯t break off the engagement with him. I¡¯m very sorry about everything that happened in the past, but from today onwards, I¡¯ll make up for my mistakes. Please forgive me.¡± Xu Lan felt that Qin Yue was just toying with the Kan family. ¡°What a joke. You were the one who didn¡¯t agree to this marriage! You wanted to end the engagement with Kan Chen, and now you¡¯re going back on your word again? Who do you think you are? The Qin family isn¡¯t even worthy of our family! I really don¡¯t know why Kan Chen likes you!¡± Xu Lan stood up and roared, ¡°There are many girls who want to pursue Kan Chen! All of them are well-educated, noble, and beautiful! How can you compare to them?¡± Qin Yue lowered her head, her long hair covering the mask on her face. That¡¯s right, why would Kan Chen like an ugly and terrible person like me? In Qin Yue¡¯s previous life, she had been influenced by Xue Na, so in order to make the Kan family hate her, she would deliberately dress uglily every time she went to the Kan family mansion. She would also act rudely, like a spoiled princess. The Kan family didn¡¯t agree to her marriage with Kan Chen, but the latter insisted on marrying her. Because of this, he had even almost cut off all contact with his family. Pa! ¡°Get out! I don¡¯t need you! All of you, get out!¡± Kan Chen¡¯s furious roar and the smashing of things could be heard from the second floor. Qin Yue saw a few doctors and bodyguards walk out of Kan Chen¡¯s room, engaged in a soft discussion. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Kan Chen wanted to see you, I wouldn¡¯t have allowed you to come to my house again! Hurry up and persuade him to undergo treatment!¡± When Xu Lan heard her son¡¯s voice, she didn¡¯t care about her anger anymore. She hurriedly pulled Qin Yue upstairs, not forgetting to remind her, ¡°Anyway, you have to let Kan Chen recover. We¡¯ll talk about your engagement after that!¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue closed the door tightly and walked towards Kan Chen. Kan Chen lay on the bed. His face and an arm were bandaged, while his left leg was covered with a cast and hanging at the side of the bed. On the floor beside him, there were some broken medicine bottles. He held a book with his uninjured hand and pretended that he didn¡¯t see Qin Yue. His thick eyelashes covered half of his amber eyes, and he had some stubble on his well-defined face, making him look a little tired. Tears blurred her eyes. In Qin Yue¡¯s previous life, she didn¡¯t know much about him, and she felt disgusted whenever she had to meet him. But now, when she saw his injured leg, all she felt was regret. Kan Chen¡¯s butler said that he was unwilling to undergo any treatment or change his dressing. If this continued, his leg injury would worsen, and the consequences would be unthinkable. Qin Yue hesitated for a moment before gently touching the cast on his leg and saying, ¡°You should change your dressing.¡± Kan Chen ignored her, and his expression was extremely cold. He still held the book in his hand and didn¡¯t speak, but he hadn¡¯t flipped the page for some time already. ¡°Kan¡­ Kan Chen? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Thinking that Kan Chen didn¡¯t hear her, she called him again. However, Kan frowned and continued to ignore her. Why did things turn out like this? Qin Yue didn¡¯t understand why Kan Chen would suddenly treat her so coldly. That day¡­ Qin Yue recalled the scene in his office. She thought that their relationship had improved. ¡°If you don¡¯t change the dressing, your leg will be infected.¡± Qin Yue didn¡¯t have the time to think about why Kan Chen was ignoring her again. Her tears were already flowing uncontrollably. She was crying because of her own stupidity, and she felt that she owed him too much. In her previous life, Kan Chen suffered a permanent disability because he had missed the optimal treatment period for his leg. Even so, he brought a bunch of subordinates to crash Qin Yue¡¯s wedding, wanting to get her back. However, he was still one step too late. The only thing he managed to get was Qin Yue¡¯s corpse. ¡°Hmph! Aren¡¯t you upset because I didn¡¯t die?¡± Kan Chen snorted. He didn¡¯t understand why this woman had to pretend to care about him. After all, she had always treated him like vermin, and had never spared him a single glance! After the accident, Kan Chen¡¯s mood became even worse. He refused to take any medicine or undergo any treatment. He didn¡¯t want to give up, and he desperately wanted to see her. He was unwilling to accept this. Why was she lying to him again? ¡°You have to undergo treatment¡­¡± When Qin Yue heard the word ¡°die¡±, she couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. She started sobbing uncontrollably.¡± You can¡¯t, you can¡¯t die¡­ I¡¯m, I¡¯m sorry¡­ Ahhh! ¡± At the thought of Kan Chen carrying her corpse, she couldn¡¯t hide the regret and sorrow in her heart anymore. She leaned against Kan Chen and sobbed pitifully. She didn¡¯t want to lose him anymore! She didn¡¯t want to be separated from him! Kan Chen was shocked by her actions. She suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him! Initially, he was about to go crazy from anger, but he didn¡¯t expect that Qin Yue would suddenly start to cry. Even though she was hugging him, she was also pressing against his injured arm. The excruciating pain in his arm almost made him scream. When the bodyguards at the door heard the pitiful wails from the room, they hurriedly opened the door. They saw Qin Yue sitting by the bed, hugging Kan Chen, who remained lying down. Her head was buried in his chest, and she was sobbing uncontrollably. Kan Chen was pinned down by Qin Yue and didn¡¯t move. His face was pale as he stared at the ceiling. ¡°Call the doctor! Young Master looks like he¡¯s going to die!¡± The bodyguards were shocked by this scene. Young Master was just fine moments ago. Why did he suddenly look like he was about to die? When Xu Lan, who was on the ground floor, heard that Kan Chen was about to die, she screamed and fainted. Everyone in the house started to panic. The doctor and servants all dashed into Kan Chen¡¯s room. Kan Chen¡¯s face was filled with perspiration because of the pain, and his lips trembled uncontrollably as he tried to push her off. ¡°Get lost¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to leave! I¡¯m not leaving!¡± Qin Yue thought that he was going to chase her away again, so she held onto him tightly. The harder Kan Chen pushed, the harder Qin Yue cried. All her tears and mucus fell onto his shirt, and the doctor and bodyguards had to drag her away. Blood was starting to seep out of the wound on Kan Chen¡¯s arm. ¡°You¡­ You¡­?¡± Kan Chen was about to pass out from the pain. He pointed a trembling finger at Qin Yue, who had yet to stop crying, and was rendered speechless. Was this woman doing it on purpose? Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Kan Chen¡¯s condition gradually improved over the next few days, and the doctor advised him to replenish more nutrients in his body. Qin Yue personally prepared a nutritious meal for him, but he didn¡¯t even take a single bite. Xu Lan glanced at the dishes on the dining table and sneered, ¡°We don¡¯t even know if these dishes were poisoned. Who would dare to eat them?¡± Qin Yue felt extremely awkward. In her previous life, when Kan Chen locked her up at home for the first time, she added sleeping pills in their dinner in return. However, due to the high dosage added into the food, Xu Lan was sent to the hospital and had her stomach pumped. ¡°I¡­ I won¡¯t do such insolent things again.¡± With an apologetic expression, Qin Yue ate all the dishes by herself. In Kan Chen¡¯s house, not only did Qin Yue have to endure Xu Lan¡¯s verbal abuse, she also had to bear with the servants gossiping about her. There were even some servants who didn¡¯t show her any respect, and their attitude towards her was extremely bad. Qin Yue could only endure all of this silently. After all, in her previous life, she had treated these servants in an overbearing manner. In order to make everyone hate her, she did all sorts of crazy things. She deliberately woke all the maids up in the middle of the night and got them to help her change the bedsheets and curtains after staining them with paint. She also released all the horses from the stables, trampled on the most expensive flowers in the greenhouse, threw oil paintings into the fountain, and even set fire to a hundred year-old tree in the courtyard. Finally, the servants couldn¡¯t take it anymore and went to complain to Xu Lan. However, Kan Chen offered to move out by himself, and said that this way, Qin Yue wouldn¡¯t be able to affect their lives. Qin Yue knew that everyone hated her now, so she could only slowly try to change their attitude towards her. However, she didn¡¯t understand why Kan Chen was also angry with her during this entire period. After Kan Chen returned to his room, Qin Yue decided to have a talk with him. ¡°If you¡¯re feeling unhappy with me, can¡¯t you just tell me in my face?¡± Kan Chen lay on the bed and looked out of the window solemnly. He refused to say a single word. Ha! Kan Chen was pretending that he didn¡¯t hear her again. She gave up on communicating with him. ¡°Suit yourself. If mocking me every day can make you happy, so be it. I¡¯m going out now. Remember to take your medicine on time.¡± ¡°Tsk! Are you going to fool around with Xiao Yu again?¡± Kan Chen finally spoke. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I can¡¯t move my legs now, so I need someone to take care of me?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing between Xiao Yu and I anymore. I need to go off for a meeting, since Qin Ze left some of the company¡¯s matters to me.¡± She added, ¡°My fianc¨¦ is so outstanding and handsome, so why would I meet a man who isn¡¯t worthy of me?¡± ¡°He¡¯s not good enough for you?¡± Kan Chen mocked Qin Yue. ¡°He¡¯s not good enough for you, yet you still secretly got engaged to him?¡± ¡°Who told you that I was engaged to him? And it was because of this that you got into a car accident?¡± Qin Yue froze for a moment, then realized what was wrong. ¡°You¡¯re angry at me because of this, right?¡± During this period of time, Qin Yue had tried to ask Kan Chen about the cause of the accident, but he didn¡¯t answer her question directly. ¡°You¡¯re not engaged to Xiao Yu?¡± Kan Chen¡¯s voice and eyes were filled with distrust. ¡°Why would I get engaged to that b*stard?! Who is the b*stard who has been spreading rumors?!¡± Qin Yue was furious. It turned out that someone had deliberately told Kan Chen this news to lure him out of the company! That explained why he had given her so many missed calls that afternoon. He wanted to verify whether it was true, but she was taking a nap, so she didn¡¯t answer his calls in time. ¡°Anyway, come back early. I want you to accompany me for a walk.¡± Kan Chen avoided her gaze. Without saying a word, Qin Yue walked out of the door, clenching her fists so tightly that her knuckles cracked. ¡­ The members of the Menghu gang were playing poker when their door was kicked open. ¡°Who¡¯s courting death?¡± The gang members were so flustered by the uninvited guest that they cursed loudly and took out their guns. At the door, a woman wearing a mask walked in with a photo in her hand. Her tone was cold. ¡°Hand this person over, and I¡¯ll let you live.¡± A man in leather boots laughed and made the gang members put down their guns. ¡°Well, well, well. Isn¡¯t this Miss Qin Yue? You¡¯re finally here to visit your subordinates? Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue glared at the people in the room. She was very familiar with these faces. Qin Yue¡¯s mother, Gu Zhen, had founded Kunxiao Corporation, under the alias ¡°Rose.¡± After Gu Zhen¡¯s death, ¡°Scarface¡±, who was previously Gu Zhen¡¯s right-hand man, started a rebellion, instigating a large group of gang members to leave and start their own gang. Initially, Qin Yue wanted to deal with them when she was capable enough to take over Kunxiao Corporation. However, one of Scarface¡¯s subordinates had appeared at the scene of Kan Chen¡¯s accident, and his figure resembled the man who attacked her in the security office that day. This was a blatant provocation! ¡°You¡¯re just a bunch of traitors. You don¡¯t deserve to be called my subordinates! Bring that man over now! Don¡¯t make me repeat myself!¡± At Qin Yue¡¯s signal, the people stationed outside rushed into the room and pointed their machine guns at the Menghu members. When the Menghu members saw the powerful weapons in the hands of Qin Yue¡¯s bodyguards, they instantly became timid. However, Scarface was not afraid at all. He sneered, ¡°I¡¯m only giving you face because of Rose. Do you really treat yourself as the Young Miss? There are rules in every gang. If you want him, you have to show your capabilities first!¡± Qin Yue nodded. ¡°According to the rules, we¡¯ll go out for a duel, best of three rounds. If I win, you have to hand him over. If I lose, we¡¯ll settle old and new scores together.¡± The bodyguards behind Qin Yue were shocked. What? Was she crazy? She wanted to defeat Scarface? ¡°Hahaha! What arrogance! When I was killing people in the wild, you were still breastfeeding in your mother¡¯s arms! You can inform Qin Ze to come and collect your corpse!¡± Scarface had already pulled out a combat knife. He walked to an empty lot outside and prepared to teach this pampered young lady a lesson. Qin Yue¡¯s bodyguards broke out in cold sweat. ¡°Young Miss, we¡¯ll cover for you, please leave now. Scarface used to be a special forces soldier, and now he¡¯s the boss of the gang. Battles between gang leaders can be fatal! This isn¡¯t a game!¡± ¡°And so, does that mean that I have the right to take over Kunxiao Corporation if I defeat him?¡± Qin Yue stretched her neck and said coldly. Her words left the bodyguards at a loss. The Menghu gang members surrounded the empty lot and whistled loudly. On the other hand, Qin Yue¡¯s bodyguards were nervously gripping their guns, all prepared to save Qin Yue at the critical moment. Having experienced death, there wasn¡¯t a trace of fear in Qin Yue¡¯s eyes. ¡°It¡¯s rumored that Rose¡¯s daughter is willful and stupid. It seems like it¡¯s true. On account of your young age, I won¡¯t beat you to death, but I can¡¯t guarantee that your limbs will still be intact.¡± Scarface clenched his fists tightly with a menacing look on his face. He bent down and rushed towards Qin Yue as he yelled, ¡°I¡¯ll teach you a good lesson on behalf of your mother today!¡± Qin Yue felt an immense pressure rushing towards her. She quickly dodged Scarface¡¯s punch and raised her leg to kick his arm. The surrounding people exclaimed in surprise. This seemingly weak girl actually managed to block Scarface¡¯s attack! After the first confrontation, both of them took a few steps back. Qin Yue widened her eyes and stared at Scarface. There was an intense pain in her leg, and she knew that she couldn¡¯t fight Scarface head-on with her current capabilities. She had to stall for time. ¡°It seems like I¡¯ve underestimated you.¡± Scarface hid his surprise as he shook his arm, adjusted his posture, and closed in on Qin Yue again. This time, Qin Yue could clearly feel that Scarface had become more vicious. His leg aimed at her body, but she dodged his attack. Instead, a huge hole was created in the brick wall behind her. However, Scarface didn¡¯t give Qin Yue any time to catch her breath. He immediately aimed for her head. Qin Yue dodged it again, and grabbed the wooden board on the ground to block his blow. Scarface¡¯s fist smashed onto the wooden board, cracking it instantly! Scarface laughed maniacally and he attacked continuously, ¡°Conceited imp! Why are you so afraid now?¡± Qin Yue didn¡¯t say a single word. She concentrated on avoiding Scarface¡¯s blows until he slowed down. Finally! When Scarface took a breather, Qin Yue took the chance to rush towards Scarface. Under his surprised gaze, she swiftly pulled out the dagger from her waist. A cold glint flashed across her eyes, as she kicked his chest, then retreated to a safe distance. Scarface staggered a few steps, and a bloody mark appeared on his nose. His bone was exposed, and his right eye was sliced apart, with black liquid flowing out. Scarface¡¯s ugly face became even more terrifying. He covered his eyes and screamed, his body swaying as he fell to one knee. He looked up at the girl in front of him. She was standing under the sun, looking down at him. The entire Menghu gang was in an uproar. They took out their pistols and loaded them. Qin Yue¡¯s bodyguards raised their machine guns and threatened them. ¡°Follow the mafia¡¯s rules! No one is allowed to interfere in the battle between bosses!¡± Qin Yue clearly heard them address her as their boss. She threw her mask onto the ground and gripped the knife in her hand tightly. She walked towards Scarface and declared in a decisive tone, ¡°Once, you scarred my face. Today, I¡¯m going to peel the skin off yours.¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations There was no sympathy in Qin Yue¡¯s eyes as she looked at the exhausted Scarface. He had expended too much energy just now, and he had been blinded in one eye, so his attacks were a little sluggish. ¡°No one will be scared of a hungry wolf that has lost its teeth.¡± Qin Yue grabbed Scarface¡¯s fist and twisted his arm with all her might. With a loud snap, Scarface¡¯s arm was dislocated. Scarface screamed from the pain. Qin Yue drove the knife into his knee, and he fell heavily to the ground. ¡°You only have two options. Surrender or die?¡± Qin Yue¡¯s voice was unusually calm. The members of Menghu Gang fell silent. They had already seen how strong this young lady was, so they did not dare to look down on her anymore. ¡°I surrender! I surrender! We¡¯re just working under someone¡¯s orders!¡± When Qin Yue placed the dagger on Scarface¡¯s neck, the latter finally confessed, ¡°Someone offered a high price for the life of the President of Pengfei Corporation. I really didn¡¯t know that he was related to you!¡± ¡°Then why did you attack me in the carpark?¡± ¡°What carpark? We only tampered with one of the President¡¯s cars! We didn¡¯t see you at all!¡± Qin Yue released Scarface. He didn¡¯t sound like he was lying. ¡°Who ordered you to do this?¡± Before Scarface could speak, sirens could be heard from afar, and the members of Menghu Gang started to panic. Before anyone could react, a large number of police officers had already surrounded the place and prepared to rush in. Everyone in the room was carrying weapons illegally. If the police caught them, they would definitely be arrested. Given the situation, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t get her answer, and had to escape through the back door with her bodyguards. Unfortunately, the group ran into a dead end. When she didn¡¯t know where to hide, a police car stopped beside her, and someone pulled her into the car. ¡°Thank god I found you first!¡± Li Mo¡¯s face was covered in sweat.¡± This was your plan? Do you know how lucky you were? Those untrustworthy hooligans could have shot you to death!¡± ¡°But I managed to gather the evidence and confirmed who the perpetrator was!¡± Qin Yue sounded elated as she leaned into her seat and hid under Li Mo¡¯s police jacket. She then handed the recording pen to him. Li Mo¡¯s police car was parked at the entrance of Kan Chen¡¯s house. Right now, the entrance of the estate was filled with servants. Li Mo complained, ¡°When Kan Chen found out that you went to Menghu Gang¡¯s base, he was so anxious that he almost went crazy.¡± Qin Yue saw Kan Chen¡¯s butler stopping him from leaving. ¡°Mr. Kan, your leg hasn¡¯t recovered yet, so you can¡¯t drive! Madam Xu was afraid that you would act rashly, so she didn¡¯t let us tell you! We¡¯ll send people out now to help Miss Qin!¡± Kan Chen waved the walking stick in his hand. His entire body was shaking as he tried to charge out of the crowd. ¡°Get lost! You fools! Don¡¯t stop me!¡± Qin Yue quickly alighted from the car and ran over to hug him. ¡°I¡¯m fine! Kan Chen, I¡¯m back.¡± Kan Chen was panting heavily as he stared at Qin Yue in disbelief. When he saw Qin Yue standing in front of him, his heart almost stopped. Bang! Kan Chen raised his hand and punched the wall behind Qin Yue. Both Qin Yue and Kan Chen¡¯s butler were shocked. Qin Yue lowered her head, not daring to look at Kan Chen¡¯s furious expression. The next second, Kan Chen hugged her tightly and shouted at her, ¡°Why don¡¯t you ever listen to me?! What should I do if you died?!¡± Qin Yue was at a loss. Her heart ached when she heard Kan Chen sobbing. Other than Gu Zhen, no one had cared so much about her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I found out who was the perpetrator who caused your accident, and I was anxious to catch him¡­¡± ¡°I swear to God, if you do anything dangerous again, I¡¯ll break your leg and lock you up at home for the rest of your life!¡± Kan Chen interrupted her. Qin Yue hugged him tightly and closed her eyes to enjoy the warm embrace. A black car stopped in front of the manor. A middle-aged man sat inside, playing with a lighter in his hand. ¡°Boss, I didn¡¯t expect Qin Yue to be so powerful!¡± ¡°She¡¯s grown up now, and becoming more and more like Rose.¡± ¡°Will Scarface tell her the truth?¡± The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then lit a cigar up. ¡°Before Qin Yue finds out the truth, silence Scarface forever.¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue leaned on the side of Kan Chen¡¯s bed and excitedly recounted her fight with Scarface. Kan Chen pinched her chin and interrupted her, ¡°Alright, my little adventurer. Don¡¯t do anything dangerous again. I should be the one protecting my woman.¡± His amber eyes reflected Qin Yue¡¯s bashful expression. Qin Yue carefully observed Kan Chen. His features were exquisite, and he exuded the charisma of a mature man. The temperature in the room started rising. Qin Yue pulled him close and eagerly pressed her lips to his. Kan Chen¡¯s heartbeat quickened. He pushed Qin Yue¡¯s head closer to him, pried her mouth open roughly, and intertwined his tongue with hers. Qin Yue lay on Kan Chen¡¯s body and enjoyed his passionate kiss. She could hear his breathing getting heavier. Kan Chen had always been very assertive. His kiss was filled with an intense possessiveness, and his tongue reached close to her throat, making her breathless. He hugged Qin Yue tightly, as though he wanted her to meld into his body. Qin Yue caressed Kan Chen¡¯s muscular body. His muscles were well-defined, and through his clothes, she could feel his body gradually heating up. The masculine fragrance on his body was getting more and more addictive. The couple was almost breathless from the kiss. Finally, he unwillingly pulled away from Qin Yue¡¯s lips and panted heavily as he looked at her. ¡°My naughty kitten¡­ You¡¯re going to drive me crazy.¡± Kan Chen¡¯s voice was hoarse but seductive. Qin Yue stuck out her tongue and licked Kan Chen¡¯s ear teasingly. Her slender hand caressed his chest. At this point, she felt she had been really blind in her previous life. She had been blinded by a love that was fake, and had missed out on such a perfect man. Now, all she wanted was to obtain all the love she could from him. This would soothe her mind, which had been in a mess. Qin Yue blushed and whispered into his ear, ¡°I think I can give you my first time.¡± She had dated Xiao Yu for ten years, but they never had s*x before. Back then, she wanted to leave her first night for their wedding night. Qin Yue climbed onto the bed and straddled him. Her long hair fell to her shoulders, and she undid the buttons on her shirt. She raised her arms, and her soft and tender br*asts were almost squeezed out of her bra. Kan Chen couldn¡¯t take his eyes off Qin Yue¡¯s chest. Her sexy black bra was almost translucent, and he could almost see her beautiful br*asts. Qin Yue¡¯s hands then moved down his body, unbuttoning his shirt. In the past, many women had thrown themselves at him, but Qin Yue was different. She was someone he couldn¡¯t have, yet everything about her made him yearn for her. She was like a poison that he couldn¡¯t resist. Finally, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He sat up, stuck his tongue into her mouth, and ran his hands around her body. Then, he greedily bit Qin Yue¡¯s lips. When he saw her dazed expression, a huge sense of satisfaction filled his mind. This was her first time, so he didn¡¯t dare to be too rough. He wanted to give her an unforgettable experience. His hands gradually moved past her abdomen, and he pushed her miniskirt to her waist. Her black stockings hugged her beautiful legs seductively, and her tight black p*nties was faintly discernible under the stockings. Ding! Qin Yue¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She suddenly remembered that she had something important to do. ¡°Wait. I have to go to the company for a meeting.¡± The black stilettos on Qin Yue¡¯s feet gave off the vibe of a career woman. However, when paired with the sexy stockings, she exuded a different type of allure. Kan Chen was aroused, and he refused to let his prey off easily. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± ¡°But this is a very important collaboration project.¡± Qin Yue started to struggle against him. ¡°Really?¡± Kan Chen growled softly as he caressed Qin Yue¡¯s thigh and tore her stockings. Qin Yue yelped in surprise. Speaking into her ear, Kan Chen ordered, ¡°Call now and terminate this collaboration. I¡¯ll pay all the breach of contract fees. Then, get your assistant to prepare a contract. In the future, Pengfei Corporation will be the exclusive partner of Kunxiao Corporation.¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue continued to straddle Kan Chen as she picked up the call. On the other end of the line, Qin Yue¡¯s secretary sounded anxious, ¡°Director, are you arriving soon? The partners are already here!¡± When Kan Chen heard that the call had been connected, he smirked and licked Qin Yue¡¯s earlobe before kissing down her neck. Qin Yue¡¯s face flushed crimson from embarrassment and excitement. She tried her best to control her tone, ¡°Please explain to the partners that the collaboration is canceled. Also, prepare another contract. In future¡­ We¡¯ll only cooperate with Pengfei Corporation.¡± Kan Chen had already started to undo her bra, revealing her bare br*asts. Then, he took one n*pple into his mouth. Qin Yue¡¯s body started trembling. She placed her hand over her mouth, trying to stop herself from moaning out loudly. ¡°Oh my god! Are you sure we¡¯ll work with Pengfei Corporation? Pengfei Corporation has never taken the initiative to work with any company. Even Mr. Qin failed to persuade them!¡± Qin Yue¡¯s breathing became labored. ¡°Ye¡­ Yes! Hurry up and prepare the contract!¡± Qin Yue¡¯s secretary then asked, ¡°Is there a specific person I should get in touch with?¡± Unfortunately, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t respond. She could only bite her lip, as she was afraid that her secretary would hear her moan. She gripped Kan Chen¡¯s shirt tightly. She was on the verge of her climax, and the feeling drove her crazy. Kan Chen pushed her p*nties to the side and caressed her cl*t. The wetness he felt gave him a strong sense of satisfaction. He knew that Qin Yue was almost at her limit, so his fingers slowed down. He then took the phone from her hand, and answered the question on her behalf. ¡°I¡¯m Kan Chan, the President of Pengfei Corporation. After you¡¯ve drafted the contract, send it directly to Pengfei Corporation. There will be someone who will manage this.¡± Kan Chen¡¯s voice stunned Qin Yue¡¯s secretary for a few seconds. After discussing some details with him about the contract, he hurriedly hung up. Kan Chen continued to gently flick Qin Yue¡¯s cl*t with his fingers, while he used his tongue to take care of her sensitive n*pples. Qin Yue sat weakly on Kan Chen¡¯s body, and she couldn¡¯t help but moan as she moved her hips along with his movements. ¡°Are you satisfied with my service?¡± Kan Chen narrowed his eyes and admired her seductive expression. Qin Yue had no experience in s*x. Kan Chen could clearly feel her body starting to tremble, so he increased the speed at which he rubbed her cl*t. He wanted to completely conquer this woman, from her body to her heart. ¡°Answer me,¡± Kan Chen ordered as he looked into Qin Yue¡¯s eyes. ¡°Thank you¡­ For¡­ For¡­ Cooperating with¡­ Our company¡­¡± Qin Yue¡¯s mind had already stopped functioning. She was on the verge of her climax, but he wasn¡¯t going to allow her to c*m so easily. ¡°What about other things? Aren¡¯t I making you feel comfortable?¡± He leaned closer to her ear and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Answer me, my sexy kitten. Do you like this?¡± The lips on her lower abdomen were pushed down between his hard shaft, and her warm and slick entrance rubbed against it. ¡°I like¡­ I like this¡­¡± Qin Yue replied softly, feeling extremely embarrassed. ¡°I want to hear you scream louder.¡± His fingers started to drum against Qin Yue¡¯s cl*t mercilessly. He could feel her juices increasing, so he moved his other hand and teased her erect n*pple. ¡°Oh! I love this¡­ I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m c*mming!¡± Qin Yue¡¯s body started to tremble uncontrollably, and she spread her legs open, enjoying his caresses. After she squirted onto his hand, Qin Yue lay in his arms and panted in satisfaction. Kan Chen kissed her hair and showed her the liquid on his hand. She shyly turned her head away. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Kan Chen¡¯s butler told him that there was an important call for him. Qin Yue hurriedly got up, tidied his clothes, and wiped his hands. After getting dressed, he picked up the walking stick by the bed and kissed her forehead before leaving. In a serious tone, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll protect you well and not let anyone harm you.¡± Qin Yue didn¡¯t understand why Kan Chen would suddenly say this, but she still nodded. Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Yue was wearing a tight-fitting top and miniskirt as she walked through the office area of Pengfei Corporation. Her slender legs were wrapped in black stockings, and her black heels complemented her beautiful ankles. In Qin Yue¡¯s previous life, she had also been to Kan Chen¡¯s office, but she had always been secretly locked up in his office, so no one had seen her before. She confidently raised her chin and carried an inconspicuous box in her hand as she walked towards Kan Chen¡¯s office. All the employees in the office were whispering about this sexy and mysterious woman wearing a half mask. ¡°She has the most perfect figure I¡¯ve ever seen! Who is she? Is she the President¡¯s new secretary?¡± one male employee asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen women wearing masks before, but I bet this woman¡¯s an absolute beauty!¡± another man said. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about anything else during work hours!¡± A woman slammed a document on her table, her voice filled with anger. When the two employees saw Lucy¡¯s face, they lowered their heads. Lucy was Kan Chen¡¯s secretary, and the prettiest woman in the company. Clearly, she had overheard their conversation. Lucy flipped her blond curls and had a dark expression on her face. Only the President¡¯s personal secretary and bodyguard could enter his office. Hence, she concluded that this mysterious woman must be a new secretary whom Kan Chen hired. She had relied on her looks and capabilities to become the President¡¯s secretary. She wanted to become the President¡¯s lover, but today, a competitor suddenly appeared. ¡­ When Qin Yue entered the office, Kan Chen was alone. He was sitting at his desk, staring at his computer with a frown. Qin Yue placed the bento in her hand on the table and boldly sat on his legs. She poked the area between his brows. ¡°Why are you unhappy? Do you not want to see me? I¡¯ve prepared a delicious meal for you. Your leg hasn¡¯t recovered completely, so you need more nutrients.¡± Kan Chen was surprised to see Qin Yue. A strange smile appeared on his face, and he quietly muted his computer. Qin Yue held the sandwich in her hand and prepared to feed it to Kan Chen. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you speaking? Open your mouth and try this.¡± The corners of his lips curled up into a smile. On the screen in front of him, the presidents of a few multinational corporations were having a video conference with him. They all witnessed how this solemn man had actually allowed a woman to sit on his lap during a meeting. Everyone looked at the two of them. His gaze became very gentle, and he even ate the sandwich that the woman handed him. Qin Yue¡¯s chest was tightly pressed against Kan Chen¡¯s, and her fingers restlessly circled his chest. She tugged at his tie, teasing him and bragging about her culinary skills. When she noticed that Max¡¯s eyes were always trained on the computer, she subconsciously turned her head in that direction. When Qin Yue saw the people on the screen, her face immediately flushed red. She immediately stood up and walked to the side, pointing her middle finger at him. That jerk! Why didn¡¯t he tell me?! ¡°It¡¯s fine, let¡¯s continue. That was my wife just now.¡± Kan Chen sat up straight and tidied his clothes. Qin Yue stayed behind to accompany him. She stood by the French windows and saw that the sky had darkened. ¡°I¡¯ve made you wait, my wild kitten.¡± Kan Chen hugged Qin Yue¡¯s waist from behind and roughly pressed her against the French windows. He kissed her nape gently, ¡°You deliberately tempted me just now. Now, I want to taste you carefully. Right here.¡± ¡°No! Others will see us if they come in!¡± Qin Yue quickly turned around and grabbed his naughty hands. ¡°I have a meeting, and no one is allowed in here.¡± He replied, holding her up while wrapping her legs around his waist. Qin Yue and Kan Chen were making out when the door to his office was opened. ¡°President! The meeting is over, right? I brought you some food.¡± Lucy raised the bento in her hand and stared at Kan Chen and Qin Yue in the room in surprise. With a defiant expression, Lucy placed her bento on the table. Looking at the cleavage and miniskirt that Lucy deliberately revealed, Qin Yue calmly tidied her clothes and walked to the entrance. ¡°So¡­ It seems like someone has prepared your dinner. I don¡¯t have to bring you any more nutritious food in the future.¡± Qin Yue left in a fit of pique. Kan Chen¡¯s good mood was disrupted, and his expression instantly turned terrifying. Lucy thought that she had chased away her competitor, so she approached Kan Chen smugly. ¡°President, you¡­¡± ¡°Shut up and get lost!¡± Kan Chen was like a furious lion, scaring Lucy so badly that her face turned pale. ¡°Security! Chase her out! Don¡¯t f*cking let her near my office ever again!¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Afraid that Qin Yue would still be angry about what happened in the office, Kan Chen bought a limited edition dress and apologized to her. Qin Yue stood in front of the full-length mirror and tried on her dress. The dress that was worth ten million dollars complemented her aura perfectly. Unfortunately, the hideous scars on her face ruined her beauty. She slowly touched the scars, and after a long time, she finally put on her mask. Through the mirror, she saw Kan Chen standing at the door with a gentle expression on his face. He walked over, hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for angering you. I won¡¯t let any woman appear in my office again.¡± Qin Yue lowered her eyes and recalled Lucy¡¯s beautiful face. ¡°Why did you choose me? There are so many beautiful and noble girls pursuing you.¡± This was a question that bothered Qin Yue. Kan Chen was deep in thought, and Qin Yue couldn¡¯t read his expression. ¡°Because they aren¡¯t you. If you mind, I won¡¯t let any woman approach me anymore. To me, you¡¯re you. No matter what you become, I will still remember the first time I met you.¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t our first meeting at that party?¡± Qin Yue didn¡¯t understand what he was saying. She remembered that the first time she met him was at a business meeting. After the meeting, he requested for her hand from her father, and a few days later, Qin Ze anxiously asked her to marry him. ¡°You asked me a question. In exchange, you have to tell me an answer. Why did you suddenly break up with Xiao Yu?¡± When Qin Yue heard Xiao Yu¡¯s name, her eyes turned cold. Why did I leave him? Because he was my enemy, a scum, and a murderer. Even if he died ten times over, it still wouldn¡¯t be enough to appease my resentment. ¡°He betrayed me,¡± Qin Yue said through gritted teeth. ¡°So, have you given up on him completely this time? I hope you won¡¯t be as stupid as before.¡± Kan Chen observed her expression and kissed the back of her hand. ¡°When we get engaged, can you invite Xue Na over? After all, she used to be my best friend.¡± Qin Yue asked Kan Chen coquettishly. Xue Na hid too many answers that she wanted to know. She couldn¡¯t ruin her relationship with that woman so easily. ¡°Sure.¡± Although he didn¡¯t know what she was thinking, he still agreed to her request unconditionally. ¡°Also, I hope that you can trust me. I apologize for everything that I did¡­¡± Qin Yue leaned on Kan Chen¡¯s chest, her voice aggrieved. ¡°I admit that I¡¯ve done many silly things in the past, but those were all in the past. Now, you can completely forget about my original self. In the future, I might do many things that you can¡¯t imagine, but I hope that you can be my strong support.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll surely support you. I can¡¯t wait for you to become my bride and take care of you for the rest of your life.¡± Not knowing why Qin Yue was crying again, he smiled and wiped her tears away, then kissed her hair. The couple hugged and kissed passionately. Outside the door, Kan Chen¡¯s butler walked out of Kan Chen¡¯s study and placed some of the information that the latter had organized into the shredder. The words on the shredder were vaguely identifiable: The body of the leader of Menghu Gang, Scarface, had been found near the suburbs. There were no suspicious traces around, and the initial conclusion is that this wasn¡¯t the first crime scene. A few days ago, Scarface had been arrested for illegally carrying a gun. It is possible that this was an act of retaliation caused by a conflict between gangs. Chapter 20 - All Fairy Tales Are Lies Chapter 20 All Fairy Tales Are Lies Kan Chen had completely recovered, and was now taking a walk in the garden. He frowned. Qin Yue had sneaked out again, and her phone was switched off. Qin Yue was seated in a small cafe, and Xiao Yu was kneeling in front of her. Qin Yue looked around impatiently. She didn¡¯t tell Kan Chen about her meeting with Xiao Yu; all she wanted was to end this quickly. ¡°I heard that you¡¯re really going to hold an engagement party with Kan Chen? What¡¯s going to happen to our relationship then? Did you really choose to abandon me for that rich man?¡± Xiao Yu cried sorrowfully, as though he was really a man whose feelings had been cheated by Qin Yue. Qin Yue rolled her eyes. ¡°I gave you a chance. Yesterday was our tenth anniversary, and you actually forgot about it. Why should I be with someone who doesn¡¯t love me?¡± Xiao Yu couldn¡¯t understand how this hideous woman, Qin Yue, who used to be extremely subservient in front of him, could act so arrogantly in front of him now. He hurriedly took out a worthless necklace from his pocket, and was secretly glad that he had brought an apology gift. ¡°I didn¡¯t forget it! I just remembered the date wrongly, and thought that it was today! Qin Yue, can you stop being angry with me? I know that you love me, so please forgive me!¡± Qin Yue looked at the necklace in his hand and sneered. Yesterday wasn¡¯t even their tenth anniversary. All these years, Xiao Yu had never given her a proper present. On Qin Yue¡¯s birthday, he would only give her handwritten cards, flowers, or cheap handicrafts. He even found a good reason for his stinginess. He would say that he was born poor and had never been in a relationship. He didn¡¯t know what girls liked, but he had spent a lot of effort preparing these gifts. ¡°You called me out just to tell me all of this nonsense? Then there¡¯s no need for us to meet again in the future.¡± Xiao Yu had already cursed Qin Yue countless times in his heart. He didn¡¯t expect her to be so hard to be coaxed, so he could only use his trump card. ¡°No! I actually have something important to tell you. The reason Kan Chen wanted to marry you was to destroy your family¡¯s power. I have the evidence to prove it!¡± Xiao Yu took out a document. He had originally planned to use it to threaten the Kan family after conning Qin Yue¡¯s assets. Now, he could only show it to Qin Yue. This was a contract signed between the Kan family and the government. The contract stated that the government didn¡¯t want a powerful triad family like the Qin family to exist in the country. They hoped that the Kan family could find a suitable opportunity to destroy them. A suitable opportunity. These words stung Qin Yue¡¯s eyes. Initially, Qin Yue was still doubting the authenticity of the document, but when she saw the familiar signature, her heart almost stopped. ¡°Where did you get this document?¡± Qin Yue unwillingly flipped through the document. The government and the Pengfei Corporation¡¯s seals made her hands tremble. ¡°Qin Yue, you can choose not to believe my love for you, but you have to trust this document. Kan Chen is really lying to you! Think about it, he¡¯s the government¡¯s lackey, and you¡¯re the young miss of a triad family. It won¡¯t do him any good if he marries you. He¡¯s just helping the government to get rid of the mafia¡¯s power. With the serial number and dates on the document, you can definitely check its authenticity. I¡¯m telling the truth!¡± Noticing Qin Yue¡¯s panic, Xiao Yu sat down beside her and placed his arm across her shoulders. When he turned around, he noticed a luxury car parked by the road. Kan Chen¡¯s icy gaze pierced through the car window and landed on him like a nail. ¡°You¡­ You have to believe me. I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡± Without giving Qin Yue any time to react, Xiao Yu snatched the document and ran to the washroom. Such an important thing couldn¡¯t be taken away by Kan Chen! ¡°Stop right there!¡± Qin Yue hurriedly stood up and wanted to chase after him, but her arm was held back, and she was forced to turn backward. Qin Yue was surprised, and there was an unfathomable expression on her face. Kan Chen¡¯s face was in front of her, and from his furious gaze, he looked like he wanted to eat her up. ¡°Why did you meet him?¡± Kan Chen suppressed his anger. The bodyguard who followed Qin Yue told him that she had met with Xiao Yu, so he came personally to check on her. When he saw her in Xiao Yu¡¯s arms, he really wanted to chop her into pieces. Qin Yue¡¯s wrist hurt from his grip. All she wanted to do now was to break free from his hold and chase after Xiao Yu to get to the bottom of the matter. However, her struggle angered Kan Chen. ¡°Tell me why you met him in secret again!¡± Kan Chen had already lost his patience, so he grabbed hold of Qin Yue and yelled at her. ¡°Why were you tailing me?¡± Qin Yue looked into his eyes, and all that flashed across her mind was his signature and the chilling words on the document. Her mind was in a mess now, and she was in a lot of pain. She realized that she didn¡¯t know who he was at all. Everything that Kan Chen did for her in her previous life was true, but the document with the anti-counterfeit label was also true. Qin Yue and Kan Chen were stuck in a deadlock. In the end, Qin Yue removed the mask on her face and said, ¡°What do you love about me? I¡¯m ugly and rude, and I grew up in a gang. You were born into a noble family, and have been showered with love all your life. Your parents hate me. Everyone around you hates me. Tell me, what exactly do you love about me?¡± Chapter 21 - The Truth? A Lie? Chapter 21 The Truth? A Lie? It was raining cats and dogs outside the cafe. ¡°You can¡¯t give me a reason? I¡¯ll explain it for you.¡± Under the dim lights, Qin Yue¡¯s expression was extremely cold. ¡°Because our family is too powerful, so powerful that the government is afraid of us. They want to find a reasonable reason to make us disappear completely, so they chose your family to do this.¡± Kan Chen¡¯s expression became ugly. ¡°Who told you this? Was it Xiao Yu?¡± ¡°So, as long as I marry you, your family will remove the existence of my family, right?¡± The panic on his face made Qin Yue¡¯s heart ache. ¡°Qin Yue, you have to believe me. This won¡¯t happen! The few of you, bring that b*stard Xiao Yu back!¡± Kan Chen ran after Qin Yue, who had rushed out of the door, and anxiously ordered his bodyguards. ¡°Answer me, is that the truth?¡± Qin Yue hammered his chest, her tears mixing with the rain. Kan Chen stood in the rain and hugged Qin Yue tightly, allowing her to hit him until the bodyguards caught Xiao Yu. He handed Qin Yue to a bodyguard and grabbed Xiao Yu¡¯s collar. ¡°Give me the files you have!¡± Qin Yue was restrained by the bodyguards, and she sobbed as she struggled against them. She looked at Xiao Yu¡¯s terrified hands, which were crossed in front of his chest, and he was extremely resistant. Kan Chen punched Xiao Yu¡¯s nose, and the latter held his bleeding nose and wailed. Kan Chen¡¯s eyes were terrifyingly bloodshot. He gritted his teeth as he punched and kicked the fallen Xiao Yu. Originally, Xiao Yu was hugging his head and wailing, but he suddenly took out a dagger and rushed towards Kan Chen! ¡°Kan Chen!¡± Qin Yue instinctively called out to him, and saw that he was bleeding from his abdomen. Xiao Yu took the opportunity to escape. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me! Chase after him!¡± Kan Chen held his stomach and asked the bodyguards to chase after Xiao Yu. Qin Yue¡¯s trembling hand covered the wound on Kan Chen¡¯s stomach. Kan Chen had lost too much blood and fell to the ground. He held Qin Yue¡¯s hand and pulled her away. ¡°Trust me¡­ Please¡­ Trust me¡­ I¡¯ll protect you.¡± Qin Yue cried and shouted for help, as she waited for the ambulance to arrive. In the hospital, Kan Chen lay on the hospital bed and held onto Qin Yue¡¯s hand tightly. The doctor told her that the wound on his body wasn¡¯t deep, and since he was sent to the hospital in time, the injury wasn¡¯t too serious. Kan Chen¡¯s butler also handed the documents on Xiao Yu to Qin Yue. ¡°Mr. Kan, Miss Qin, we have already checked the contents of the document according to the serial number, and we have confirmed that the document is fake. When Mr. Xiao was escaping, he got into an accident and is now in a coma. He is currently being treated in the hospital. Should we sue him?¡± Qin Yue took the document from the butler¡¯s hand and carefully read the contents. The document was soaked in rain, and it became blurry. Was the document fake? Qin Yue noted down the document number in her mind. ¡°He¡¯s just a rat. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Kan Chen sighed. Qin Yue found a quiet place to contact Li Mo, and sent the document number to him, asking him to help investigate the document. A few minutes later, Li Mo sent the document¡¯s contents to Qin Yue. ¡°The serial number doesn¡¯t match the contents of the document. This is indeed a forged document, but it looks quite genuine. Isn¡¯t Xiao Yu afraid of being exposed for lying to you with a fake document? Where is Xiao Yu now?¡± Li Mo voiced his doubts over the phone. ¡°I heard that there was a car accident, and he¡¯s unconscious now. Perhaps he just wanted me to leave Kan Chen.¡± After hanging up, Qin Yue dispelled her doubts, but the seeds of doubt had already been planted in her heart. In the ward, Kan Chen¡¯s butler was whispering in Kan Chen¡¯s ear, advising Kan Chen to get rid of Xiao Yu. Kan Chen tore the document apart and shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Keep him alive for now. He¡¯s still useful.¡± Chapter 22 - Pinhole Camera Chapter 22 Pinhole Camera Qin Yue had been feeling very uneasy these few days. She had just learned about Scarface¡¯s death, and now, all leads had been cut off. Hence, Qin Yue could only get close to Xue Na and pretend to reconcile with her so that she could pick up some leads. Just as it had been in her previous life, Qin Yue brought a limited edition doll to Xue Na¡¯s manor. Tears streamed down her face, and she tried her best to look sorrowful. ¡°Xue Na, you have to help me,¡± Qin Yue begged as she put the gift down and sat down on the sofa. Xue Na glared at her. Ever since Xue Na humiliated herself in front of the reporters, she hadn¡¯t contacted Qin Yue. In order to figure out why Qin Yue acted that way, she sent people to tail her, but her subordinates were almost discovered. The only thing she found out was that Qin Yue had been staying at Kan Chen¡¯s house. Xue Na mocked her, ¡°Why would Kan Chen¡¯s fianc¨¦e need my help?¡± ¡°My father forced me to do that! He told me that if I didn¡¯t behave well in front of others, he would chase me out of the house! Look!¡± Qin Yue extended her arm, revealing the purple bruises she got from training. Xue Na scrutinized her arm. The wounds on her arm were real. As she observed Qin Yue¡¯s expression, she acutely sensed that Qin Yue had changed. The latter was no longer as weak and stupid as before. ¡°I disobeyed my father¡¯s request, so I was beaten up! After my father found out that Xiao Yu was flirting with another woman at the bar that day, he even said that he wanted to kill him. I didn¡¯t expect Xiao Yu to be such a person. Xue Na, you¡¯re the only person who treats me well in this world. Please forgive me!¡± Tears streamed down Qin Yue¡¯s face, and even her mucus fell onto Xue Na¡¯s sofa. When Xue Na saw that her expensive sofa was dirtied, she quickly handed Qin Yue a piece of tissue paper. ¡°Alright, alright! I understand now! I forgive you! But you really embarrassed me that day! What are you going to do now? Are you really going to marry Kan Chen?¡± Qin Yue hugged Xue Na, ¡°I don¡¯t have any other choice! Even Xiao Yu betrayed me. I feel terrible!¡± Xue Na was hugged so tightly that she couldn¡¯t breathe. She struggled in Qin Yue¡¯s arms and coughed violently, ¡°I¡­ I understand! Qin Yue, let go of me quickly! I can¡¯t breathe¡­ Perhaps your father is lying to you!¡± Finally, Qin Yue released her grip. When she saw how disheveled Xue Na looked, she almost burst out laughing. Xue Na¡¯s face was pale as she panted heavily, cursing internally at how stupid and reckless Qin Yue was. After chatting for a while, she stopped suspecting Qin Yue, and the latter found an excuse to leave. Qin Yue¡¯s car was parked near Kan Chen¡¯s estate, and she used her computer to adjust the angle of a camera. Qin Yue had installed a pinhole camera in one of the doll¡¯s eyes. At this moment, Xue Na was placing the expensive doll on the cabinet in her bedroom. Through the screen, Qin Yue could see that Xue Na was furious. She smashed the teacup in her hand, then picked up her phone and made a call. ¡°Have you successfully gotten close to Kan Chen yet?¡­ You didn¡¯t? You b*tch! You can¡¯t even handle such a small matter? Aren¡¯t you very good at seducing men? We don¡¯t have time to waste¡­ What? Then chase the woman who will impede you away! Do you still need me to teach you all this?¡± Qin Yue sneered and flipped through the personnel list of Kan Chen¡¯s company. To be able to infiltrate the company so easily and know about his daily habits, this person must be someone close to him. Qin Yue immediately thought of the blond woman she met the other day. I knew that there was a rat by his side. Looks like I¡¯ll have to lure it out. Chapter 23 - B*tch Who Breaks The Companys Rules Chapter 23 B*tch Who Breaks The Company¡¯s Rules Many employees were gathered in Pengfei Corporation¡¯s meeting room. All of them were discreetly sizing up a sexy woman with a mask on her face. This woman had just started work today. She had a stunning figure, and her full hips with the garter on her thighs made one¡¯s imagination run wild. Kan Chen noticed his male employees staring at Qin Yue like hungry wolves, so he deliberately cleared his throat and glared at them. Since a few days ago, Qin Yue had been acting coquettishly in front of Kan Chen. She wanted to work at his company, but didn¡¯t allow him to reveal their relationship. Kan Chen didn¡¯t know why she suddenly wanted to do this roleplay, but he could only indulge her. His mind kept wandering when he spoke because she was seated beside him. Under the table, she kept rubbing her leg against his. The employees only noticed that their President seemed distracted, but only one of them noticed Qin Yue¡¯s small action. This person was Lucy. Lucy stood behind Kan Chen and glared fiercely at Qin Yue. This woman was wearing a mask, but she could still steal her limelight! Worst of all, the President didn¡¯t reject her seductive action! Could it be that I¡¯m not charming enough? I¡¯m clearly very pretty too! Lucy lowered her head and unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her proud cleavage. Her mind was filled with ideas about how she could get rid of this annoying woman, and she didn¡¯t even notice that the meeting had ended. When she saw the President walking towards the office with the woman, she quickly followed. She handed the meeting record to Kan Chen and secretly observed Qin Yue. At this moment, Qin Yue was seated on Kan Chen¡¯s table. She took out a small mirror and re-applied her lipstick, looking completely unprofessional. ¡°Miss, please watch your behavior at work.¡± Lucy tried her best to sound calm. She was about to go crazy from anger. Usually, Kan Chen would fly into a rage when someone touched his desk. Yet, this woman was sitting on his desk, and he didn¡¯t react at all! ¡°Oh, it¡¯s my first day at work, so I don¡¯t know the company¡¯s rules. I hope the President doesn¡¯t blame me for this¡­¡± Qin Yue replied in a sweet voice as she flipped her long hair and placed her hand on Kan Chen¡¯s shoulder. Kan Chen lowered his head and looked at the documents. He didn¡¯t seem to mind Qin Yue¡¯s rudeness, and handed the documents in his hand to Lucy. ¡°Take care of these documents. Send me a message if there are any tricky questions.¡± Lucy walked out with the documents. A few minutes later, she returned with two cups of coffee and a small cake. She wanted to use this opportunity to go in and see what Qin Yue was doing, but she was stopped by the bodyguard at the entrance. ¡°The President has ordered that no one is allowed to enter his office without his permission.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lucy looked at the bodyguard in disbelief. Just as Lucy was about to argue with them, Qin Yue walked out of the room. When she saw the coffee in Lucy¡¯s hand, she happily took it from her. ¡°Thank you! I was just feeling thirsty.¡± Before Lucy could say anything, Qin Yue took the coffee from her hand, cut a small piece of the cake, and put it into her mouth. Then, she strutted back into the office. ¡°Why is she allowed to enter and leave freely then?! Why didn¡¯t you stop her?!¡± Lucy vented all her anger on the bodyguard. The man shrugged, ¡°Other than her, no one is allowed into the President¡¯s office. This is the rule.¡± In the office, Qin Yue sat on Kan Chen¡¯s lap and kissed him passionately. When he heard Lucy¡¯s argument with the guard at the entrance, he pinched her nose affectionately. ¡°Why are you so naughty? Are you jealous because you saw another woman by my side?¡± With a devilish smile, she pushed the notebook on Kan Chen¡¯s desk to the side and sat down. ¡°This time, I don¡¯t want to be disturbed.¡± Chapter 24 - Romance In The Office Chapter 24 Romance In The Office Qin Yue tugged at Kan Chen¡¯s tie, pulling him closer to her. The fragrance emanating from her body magnified his desire. He removed his tie and kissed her passionately, allowing her to wrap her legs around his waist and press herself tightly against him. Qin Yue closed her eyes as she enjoyed Kan Chen¡¯s exploration of her body. He used his tie to bind her hands together, and raised it over her head. Qin Yue looked into his lustful eyes and remarked, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see you interact with that woman at all.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll agree to any request of yours.¡± He kissed her smooth belly and lay her down on the table. ¡°Also, I need information on all the employees in the company.¡± Qin Yue¡¯s body was shaking. She could feel that Kan Chen had already ripped her underwear off, and she could feel his breathing on the sensitive part below her abdomen. ¡°Alright. What else?¡± Kan Chen spread her legs apart roughly. He kissed and licked her body, from her beautiful feet, up to her knees, and then up to her inner thighs. ¡°Also¡­ Give me¡­ Sufficient authority¡­ Ah¡­¡± Qin Yue felt Kan Chen lift her skirt and kiss her inner thighs, continuously sucking and licking close to her core. ¡°Sure. And then?¡± Kan Chen could hear Qin Yue panting, and a faint fragrance emitting from the entrance of her petals stimulated both his taste buds and olfactory senses, making him especially excited. His fingers massaged the area. He knew very well where her sensitive spots were, and a simple rub had already caused her to be wet. ¡°Oh¡­ God¡­¡± Qin Yue could feel Kan Chen¡¯s lips at her cl*t, and her body was shaking as though an electric current had run through. Her mind was in a mess. ¡°Continue speaking.¡± His hand teased and spread the two petals apart. He loved how sensitive she was. ¡°I might investigate¡­ Some of your employees¡­ I need your¡­ Ah¡­ Cooperation¡­ There, that¡¯s right¡­ Right there¡­¡± Qin Yue¡¯s core was completely covered by Kan Chen, and she began to enjoy the pleasure. Her cries excited him. He kissed the two petals and sucked on them greedily. Then, he used the tip of his tongue to open the two petals, revealing the entrance filled with love fluids. He skillfully moistened her cl*t, then inserted his tongue into her c*nt, moving in and out rhythmically. ¡°Nothing else?¡± Qin Yue was still a virgin, so initially, he only used his fingers to stroke her sensitive cl*t, but her moist and tight p*ssy seemed to be inviting him in. Kan Chen suppressed his desire and said in a hoarse and magnetic voice, ¡°Tell me what you want now.¡± Qin Yue felt Kan Chen¡¯s fingers slow down, and she started begging, ¡°Give it to me¡­ I want it.¡± ¡°Tell me exactly what you want.¡± He suddenly covered her swollen clit with his lips and licked it again quickly. ¡°I¡­ I want to climax¡­ Give it to me¡­ Ah¡­ That¡¯s it! Right there¡­ Ah!¡± Qin Yue arched her body. Her mind was blank, as Kan Chen¡¯s tongue continued to stimulate her. The love liquids continued to spill out of Qin Yue¡¯s lower body, and she reached her climax. Kan Chen gripped Qin Yue¡¯s beautiful legs tightly and continued to lick her soft petals. From time to time, he would make sipping sounds, as though he was enjoying the sweetest nectar, while Qin Yue moaned in pleasure. However, Kan Chen didn¡¯t advance further. After Qin Yue recovered from her climax, she started to help him tidy his clothes. Kan Chen lowered his head and looked at Qin Yue. ¡°I knew that you came to the company for a reason. Why can¡¯t you tell me directly?¡± She raised an eyebrow and said, ¡°I need to catch a bigger rat to verify some things, but you don¡¯t have to help me with this.¡± With a complicated expression, he didn¡¯t probe further. Instead, he raised her chin and kissed her deeply on the lips. Chapter 25 - A Gathering of Real and Fake Socialites Chapter 25 A Gathering of Real and Fake Socialites Xue Na invited Qin Yue and the other socialites out for afternoon tea. ¡°My best friend is going to be officially engaged in two days. The number of times we can get together will decrease.¡± Xue Na expressed her pity. Alas, her words were simply a reminder that the number of times Qin Yue would treat them were getting fewer and fewer. This group of socialites despised Qin Yue; they didn¡¯t think that her social status was comparable to theirs. In the past, Qin Yue would satisfy all sorts of outrageous requests in order to fit in with the group. Every time there was a gathering, as long as Qin Yue was with them, these girls would naturally make her pay. Qin Yue pretended not to notice the secret exchange of looks between Xue Na and the girls. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since Qin Yue went shopping with us. As a socialite, is she so poor that she doesn¡¯t have the money to shop? Is it because her family business is in a bad state?¡± One of the girls deliberately ridiculed Qin Yue. ¡°How can a triad family have stable family assets? They aren¡¯t like us, who are true aristocrats.¡± Another girl sounded smug. Xue Na pretended to be nice and defended Qin Yue, ¡°Alright, cut it out. Qin Yue is now a socialite like us.¡± ¡°My family bought this facial cream for me. I got one for you too! Now, let¡¯s go and buy some new clothes!¡± Xue Na pretended to smile happily. Qin Yue took the expensive facial cream and nodded with a smile. In her previous life, Qin Yue¡¯s face had been corroded by these facial creams that had been added with chronic poison, causing the scars on her face to worsen. Xue Na and the other girls walked into the city¡¯s most famous luxury clothing store and picked out countless outfits. Qin Yue sat on the sofa and flipped through the information that Li Mo had found. After Scarface died, the Menghu Gang had disbanded within a month and all the members left, as though they were afraid of someone. Moreover, Scarface¡¯s death was very strange. He was dismembered after his death, and the body parts were placed carelessly on the road. It appeared more like a warning from a powerful gang to a weaker one. ¡°Qin Yue! I¡¯m asking you which dress looks better!¡± Xue Na called out to her a few times, but Qin Yue was still in a daze and didn¡¯t answer her. ¡°They¡¯re all beautiful. Buy them all if you like them.¡± Qin Yue stood up and rubbed her temples. When Qin Yue saw that Xue Na and the other girls had already removed the tags from the clothes, she quietly said something to the salesperson, then turned around and left the store. Xue Na and the girls were walking out of the shop happily when the salesperson stopped them. ¡°Ladies, you haven¡¯t settled the bill.¡± The bill? When Xue Na saw that Qin Yue was already seated in her car and was about to leave, she quickly pointed at her. ¡°Didn¡¯t she already settle the bill for us?¡± The salesperson looked in the direction that Xue Na was pointing at. Qin Yue had already driven off. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. Please settle the bill before leaving.¡± Feeling indignant, Xue Na gritted her teeth and called Qin Yue, only to find that her phone was switched off. ¡°Why didn¡¯t Qin Yue settle the bill? Was she fooling us?¡± One of the girls was stunned. This had never happened before. ¡°She won¡¯t be coming back? Then we have to pay for these clothes?¡± Another girl looked at the cut price tag and exclaimed, ¡°Why is it so expensive? I don¡¯t have that much money on me!¡± ¡°This is an Italian brand with limited edition outfits, and every single one of these pieces are unique. I only dared to shop here today because of Qin Yue! What should we do now?¡± The girl sobbed. When the salespeople saw that these heiresses didn¡¯t seem to have the ability to buy these clothes, they revealed looks of disdain and got the security guards to block the entrance. There were even a few salespeople who started mocking them for being fake socialites. ¡°How dare these poor people pretend to be socialites and shop here? This is so funny.¡± After hearing the salespeople¡¯s remarks, Xue Na looked like she could eat someone up. ¡°What are you complaining about? Who said that we can¡¯t afford it? Stop crying! Call your families and ask them for money!¡± Back then, in order to compensate for Qin Yue¡¯s dress, she had used up all her credit cards. Not only did her father reprimand her severely, he even cut off her living expenses. This time, she had been tricked by Qin Yue again. She gritted her teeth as she listened to her father¡¯s curses over the phone. Damn you, Qin Yue! How dare you trick me! I¡¯m going to ruin your engagement party and your reputation! Qin Yue was driving her convertible to the suburbs when she received a message on her phone. More than twenty large transactions had taken place in Qin Yue¡¯s clothing store. Qin Yue turned on the music and hummed happily, ¡°Thank you for coming to my shop. I wish you all a happy life, my ¡®good friends¡¯.¡± Chapter 26 - An Uninvited Guest At The Engagement Party Chapter 26 An Uninvited Guest At The Engagement Party At the engagement party, Qin Yue, who was wearing a stunning dress, entered the ballroom hand in hand with Kan Chen. In the ballroom, rich businessmen and socialites from all walks of life were gathered. They all knew that this cross-industry wedding would cause a storm in the business world. Qin Yue looked around, but she didn¡¯t see Xue Na anywhere. Hence, she gave Li Mo a look, and he nodded. She knew very well that at such an important occasion, Xue Na would not let her off easily. Moreover, she knew what Xue Na was going to do next. The engagement party started, and the lights focused on Qin Yue and Kan Chen. The host gave them his best wishes. Xu Lan and Qin Ze sat at the VIP seats and looked at them in satisfaction. ¡°Qin Yue! How could you really just abandon me just like that?! You¡¯re so ruthless!¡± At that moment, Xiao Yu appeared at the entrance of the ballroom. All the guests turned to look at the man who had suddenly appeared. The media also took photos of him, and everyone started whispering Xue Na crept into the crowd and waited smugly for the show to start. Xiao Yu¡¯s head was still wrapped in a bandage, and he looked disheveled. Kan Chen was furious, and he wanted to send someone to chase Xiao Yu away. However, Qin Yue stopped him with a nonchalant smile. ¡°What are you doing here? You¡¯re not worthy of attending my engagement party.¡± Xiao Yu sneered and started to reveal his true colors. ¡°You b*tch! You lied to me and said that you wanted to marry me, but now, because you¡¯ve seduced a rich second-generation heir, you¡¯ve dumped me! Today, I¡¯m going to show everyone your true colors!¡± Xiao Yu raised the photo in his hand. In the photo, Qin Yue was dressed simply. She leaned her head against Xiao Yu¡¯s shoulder and took a selfie. She covered half of her face with her hand and smiled blissfully, but the ugly scar on her face was very obvious. Xu Lan looked at the photo, and her eyes were filled with shock. Qin Ze stood up agitatedly and wanted to get the security guards to chase Xiao Yu out, but no one bothered with him. This was the photo that Qin Yue begged Xiao Yu to take with her on her eighteenth birthday. This was their only photo together, and she had once treated it as a treasure. ¡°Is this really Miss Qin? Does she really have such an ugly scar on her face?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know! She¡¯s always wearing a mask, so we¡¯ve never seen her face before.¡± The guests were shocked and whispered about Qin Yue¡¯s looks in the photo, before turning to look at her. Xiao Yu had a smug expression on his face. What Xue Na asked him to do was enough to expose Qin Yue¡¯s true colors and cause a conflict between the two families. There was no change in Qin Yue¡¯s expression. She pursed her lips tightly and admired Xiao Yu¡¯s acting ¡°Are you mute? Why don¡¯t you dare to speak anymore? You b*tch, you cheated my feelings! You even cheated away the company that I worked so hard to build! After you realized that I didn¡¯t have any money, you seduced other men! They all said that gangsters are ruthless, but I thought you were an exception. I believed your lies and didn¡¯t mind your background. However, aren¡¯t you letting me down by doing all these?¡± Xiao Yu had twisted the facts and was shouting furiously, causing the reporters present to become excited. They held microphones and surrounded Qin Yue. ¡°Miss Qin, do you have anything to explain? Is the person in the photo really you? How is this man related to you?¡± Kan Chen observed her expression. He was waiting. Once she spoke up, he would beat Xiao Yu to death and make these reporters shut up. ¡°That¡¯s right. I did date this man.¡± Qin Yue¡¯s voice reverberated throughout the hall, shocking everyone. Chapter 27 - A Hideous Person Chapter 27 A Hideous Person Qin Yue walked to the middle of the ballroom and picked up the microphone. ¡°However, we weren¡¯t together for a long time. In fact, we¡¯ve only met a few times. When I realized that he was a playboy, I broke up with him. Moreover, the company he mentioned is also my property, and it doesn¡¯t belong to him. As for the photo in his hand, well, I don¡¯t know who he took it with.¡± Kan Chen walked to her side and hugged her waist. ¡°I know my fianc¨¦e very well, and I trust her. I don¡¯t want to hear the nonsense coming from a lunatic here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Who let this man in?! Hurry up and chase him away!¡± Qin Ze snapped. Without any hesitation, the bodyguards rushed in to capture Xiao Yu. Xue Na cleared her throat and turned her gaze to Qin Ze. ¡°Mr. Qin, there¡¯s no need for you to lose your temper with such a person. Even if you chase him away, there¡¯s no way to prove Qin Yue¡¯s innocence. As Qin Yue¡¯s good friend, I believe that she wouldn¡¯t do such a thing. I think we should listen to this man first before chasing him away.¡± ¡°This is my engagement party. I have the final say!¡± Kan Chen became irritated. He didn¡¯t expect Xue Na to be so hypocritical! ¡°Sure. Kan Chen, I think what Xue Na said makes sense. Let him stay. If he¡¯s chased away, it will be even more difficult to explain things.¡± Her relaxed tone shocked Kan Chen and Xue Na. She actually wanted Xiao Yu to stay! ¡°Alright! Qin Yue, you¡¯d better mean what you say!¡± Xiao Yu cleared his throat and shouted,¡± I¡¯m telling the truth! If it¡¯s a lie, I¡¯m willing to accept my punishment!¡± ¡°You¡¯re saying that I cheated you of your company? I applied for one company under my name, and it was started with the money in my bank account. This information can be traced and verified. Back then, you pretended to be a talented person who was overlooked by his superiors. I pitied you, that¡¯s why I handed the company in my hands to you to manage. However, you repeatedly embezzled the company¡¯s funds, and almost caused the company to go bankrupt, so I took it back. The evidence I have on hand is enough for you to go to jail.¡± Xiao Yu¡¯s expression was ugly. He simply wanted to slander Qin Yue, but he didn¡¯t expect her to really have any evidence. Yet, he was unwilling to give up. ¡°But¡­ But you dated me for ten years! You lied to me and wanted to marry me! This photo is evidence of our relationship! Do you dare to let everyone see your ugly face under the mask?!¡± After saying that, Kan Chen appeared a little nervous. If Qin Yue removed her mask now, it would confirm the truth. All the guests present looked in Qin Yue¡¯s direction. The media also picked up their cameras, waiting for her reaction. Qin Yue looked up and chuckled. It wasn¡¯t loud, but it pierced into Xiao Yu¡¯s heart like ice. ¡°If the person in the photo looks different from me, how do you like to be punished?¡± Qin Yue walked up the stairs and slowly undid her mask. The mask fell to the ground, and the world fell silent. Qin Yue raised her chin arrogantly and looked down at everyone, the spotlight shining on her face. Everyone was shocked. Even Kan Chen couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. Qin Yue¡¯s face was as smooth as jade. Under her long eyelashes, her cold eyes seemed to be seductive. Her beautiful face and exquisite dress made her look extremely noble, like a goddess who had walked out of an oil painting. Those hideous scars had actually disappeared! ¡°This is impossible! How is this possible? Why is this happening?¡± Xiao Yu muttered to himself as he looked at her stunning face. Xue Na¡¯s expression became increasingly ugly. Impossible! The creams I gave Qin Yue were poisonous. How could her face recover?! ¡°I¡¯m still a virgin, so it¡¯s impossible that I dated a playboy like you.¡± Qin Yue raised her chin and looked at Xiao Yu like she was looking at a clown. ¡°Could the woman in the picture be this woman instead?¡± Qin Yue waved her hand. Li Mo turned on the projector, and the big screen in the hall lit up. On the screen, a man and a woman were having sex naked in the pool. It seemed like a voyeuristic video. When the man turned his head, it was obvious that it was Xiao Yu. The woman¡¯s moans sounded through the speakers, and echoed throughout the ballroom. The reporters lifted their cameras and recorded Qin Yue¡¯s response. On the other hand, Xue Na¡¯s face was pale, and she almost fainted. The woman in the video was her! Chapter 28 - Jerk Chapter 28 Jerk The sounds of intercourse reverberated through the ballroom, but the face of the woman in the video wasn¡¯t clear. When Qin Yue saw Xue Na¡¯s expression, she almost burst out laughing. The guests watched the video curiously. From the initial chaos, the comments gradually turned into mockery of Xiao Yu. ¡°So, who is this woman? Her figure looks terrible! Hahaha!¡± ¡°That arrogant lunatic. Doesn¡¯t he already have a girlfriend? How dare he look for Miss Qin!¡± ¡°Look! His p*nis is actually so small! That woman¡¯s moans must be fake!¡± When Xiao Yu heard people commenting on his body, the veins on his forehead popped out as he defended himself loudly. However, the laughter of the guests overpowered his voice. He stood helplessly in the crowd until he saw the beautiful and dazzling Qin Yue. He then ruthlessly charged at her, ¡°Where did the scars on your face go?! You lied to me for so long!¡± sca SO Kan Chen raised his leg and kicked Xiao Yu in the chest. The latter cried out in pain as he was sent flying, and he felt as though his ribs were broken. ¡°How dare you still think of touching Qin Yue? Do you really think you¡¯re worthy of her?¡± Kan Chen looked at Xiao Yu with disdain. When Qin Yue and Xiao Yu were dating, he had never taken the initiative to touch her. In fact, he didn¡¯t even want to look at her. All he wanted was to quickly get his hands on her assets and find a beautiful woman to lead a happy life. All his plans built over the past ten years have been completely destroyed today! Recalling how Qin Yue used to pursue him, Xiao Yu covered his ribs and crawled piteously, wanting to pick up the photo on the ground. Kan Chen walked over and stepped on Xiao Yu¡¯s hand. Xiao Yu screamed and the photo in his hand fell to the ground. Kan Chen picked up the photo and lit it up with a lighter, burning the only evidence of his relationship with Qin Yue. Xiao Yu broke down completely. ¡°Kan Chen! You hypocrite! A lackey of the government, a liar! Do you think you¡¯re any better than me? You¡¯re just a little more wealthy! You know very well that you¡¯re just like me!¡± Xiao Yu cursed Kan Chen loudly, his eyes bloodshot as she looked at Qin Yue. ¡°Qin Yue! You still love me, right? I¡¯m begging you, don¡¯t marry him! He¡¯s going to cause your downfall! How dare all of you laugh at me? Qin Yue should be mine! She loved me for ten years! She said that she only loved me! Kan Chen is a liar, and he cheated her of her feelings! I¡¯m her lover! I¡¯m her lover!¡± ¡°Why is this clown still here?! Hurry up and chase this lying lunatic away!¡± Xue Na covered her ears, not wanting to hear the guests evaluating her figure anymore. She screamed and ordered the bodyguards to carry Xiao Yu away. Xiao Yu pointed at Xue Na and was about to call her name. Xue Na hurriedly stretched out her foot and stepped on Xiao Yu¡¯s injured ribs. ¡°You¡¯re a rabid dog that bites people! If you dare to frame me, I¡¯ll cut your lower body off and feed it to the wolves!¡± The pain in Xiao Yu¡¯s ribs rendered him speechless. His mouth was foaming and his body was shaking. Qin Yue leaned into Kan Chen¡¯s arms and stared at Xue Na and Xiao Yu. ¡°Li Mo, lock him up in the police station. He embezzled the company¡¯s public funds and slandered me. You must watch over him well. I want to settle the score with him later on.¡± After Xiao Yu was carried away, the atmosphere in the hall became very cheerful. Everyone was giving their blessings to Kan Chen and Qin Yue. Kan Chen hugged Qin Yue and kissed her deeply in front of everyone. His kiss was very rough. He bit Qin Yue¡¯s lips, and the taste of blood spread between their mouths. He leaned his forehead against hers, but there was no trace of happiness on his face. In fact, there was even a hint of anger. His Qin Yue hid many secrets. He wanted to hug her tightly every day, afraid that she would get hurt. It was as though if he let go, Qin Yue would leave him. Kan Chen asked softly, ¡°How many things are you hiding from me?¡± The crimson red color on Qin Yue¡¯s bloodied lips accentuated her fair skin. I was once murdered by Xue Na and Xiao Yu; the scar on my face was incurable because of the poisonous facial cream that I had been applying; I also have to find my mother¡¯s murderer. How do you want me to tell you all these? Qin Yue closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time before saying, ¡°When everything is over, I¡¯ll tell you everything. Right now, I just want you by my side.¡± The guests were still immersed in the joyous atmosphere when a middle-aged man with a cigar in his mouth stared at Qin Yue and whispered something to his subordinate. Chapter 29 - A Dishonest Person Deserves To Be Spanked Chapter 29 A Dishonest Person Deserves To Be Spanked Xue Na was worried that Qin Yue might have already found out about her relationship with Xiao Yu. She tried to ask Qin Yue about it, but the latter didn¡¯t seem to know that Xue Na was the female lead in the video. Since Xiao Yu was already an abandoned pawn, she started to focus her attention on Lucy. The executives of Pengfei Corporation were gathered for a meeting. Lucy was prepared. She wanted to use the documents in her hands to completely eradicate the woman beside Kan Chen. When the meeting was about to end, Lucy turned on the projector. ¡°I accidentally discovered a huge loss in one of the company¡¯s projects. This is the information that I compiled.¡± Lucy displayed a series of forged documents on the screen and said, ¡°Some funds in the project have been embezzled, and these documents were signed by our new employee, Crystal. Can Crystal explain what is going on?¡± Lucy looked into Crystal¡¯s eyes, waiting to see her panicked expression. In order to facilitate her investigation of Lucy, Qin Yue had asked Kan Chen to send Lucy overseas for a project for two weeks, and the latter had only returned this morning. During this period, she had entered the company using the name ¡°Crystal¡±, and everyone in the company knew that she was Kan Chen¡¯s girlfriend. Only Lucy didn¡¯t know that. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about this. The President knows me very well. I wouldn¡¯t do such a thing.¡± Qin Yue blinked innocently and looked in Kan Chen¡¯s direction. Kan Chen sat quietly in his seat and rubbed his chin. Qin Yue¡¯s frivolous attitude angered Lucy. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can resolve this matter just by pretending to be innocent! Today, in front of the management, you need to give us a reasonable explanation!¡± ¡°Someone framed me, of course. How else can I explain this? As for why they framed me¡­ Perhaps it¡¯s because they¡¯re jealous of my beauty? I don¡¯t know.¡± Lucy looked at Crystal and even suspected that she was spouting nonsense because she had been scared silly. ¡°As a new employee, I don¡¯t know the company¡¯s rules. However, over the past few days, I¡¯ve also investigated some interesting things. Lucy, are you in charge of the security and marketing departments? You visit the security office so often, and you interact closely with a few employees from the marketing department.¡± Qin Yue suddenly projected another set of documents. The higher-ups in the room started discussing the contents. The documents detailed how Lucy had bribed Pengfei¡¯s project manager of Pengfei, stole Pengfei¡¯s patented documents and sold them. Also, Lucy had been sneaking around the carpark many times to observe Kan Chen¡¯s driving habits. Qin Yue rubbed the coffee in her hand and sneered at Lucy¡¯s shocked expression. ¡°This¡­ This is slander! Why would I do such a thing? You don¡¯t have the right to copy out the surveillance footage without permission!¡± Lucy anxiously reached out to turn it off. ¡°Then why did you casually investigate the President¡¯s activities?¡± Qin Yue lifted her leg and stomped on the table, her stiletto heels ruthlessly piercing Lucy¡¯s hand, causing her to scream in pain. Qin Yue poured the hot coffee in her hand on Lucy¡¯s face. The hot coffee almost splattered on the executives. Faced with this sudden turn of events, the executives stood up helplessly and waited for the President to speak. Who would have thought that an ordinary meeting would see two of the prettiest women in the company fighting? The scene was strangely erotic yet barbaric. As for Kan Chen, he remained unmoved, as though he was watching a performance. Right now, he even wanted to open a bottle of red wine and savor it slowly. He liked how unique Qin Yue was! The socialites from wealthy families could never be as interesting and bold as her! Qin Yue turned around, grabbed Lucy¡¯s arm, and pinned it behind her back. Lucy screamed. Her arm was in so much pain that she didn¡¯t dare to move. Her face was pressed against the meeting table, and her butt was raised high. ¡°If you want to use such despicable methods to ruin my reputation, you have to first figure out who I am! Didn¡¯t your mother teach you to be an honest and kind person?¡± Qin Yue positioned her leg firmly against Lucy¡¯s neck, then rolled up a book and ruthlessly whipped Lucy¡¯s butt. Lucy¡¯s neck was stuck on the table, and she couldn¡¯t get up. All she could do was twist her hips and scream. Kan Chen almost burst out laughing. He knew that his Qin Yue could always do something unexpected. Qin Yue hit Lucy hard, and her butt was covered with red marks. She could only scream as her face turned crimson, and her legs flayed around as she kicked and tried to get Qin Yue off her. ¡°What is your motive for doing all these things? Tell me clearly who instructed you, and I¡¯ll consider letting you go. If you dare to lie, I¡¯ll send you to prison!¡± ¡°Stop hitting me! I¡¯ll tell you! I¡¯ll tell you everything!¡± Lucy broke down and wailed. Lucy¡¯s screams in the meeting room attracted the attention of many employees. They crowded at the entrance and watched the crazy scene in the meeting room. The male employees gasped in surprise when they saw Lucy¡¯s hips and beautiful legs. The overtime today was worth it! Chapter 30 - Xue Nas Backgr Chapter 30 Xue Na¡¯s Background Lucy begged Qin Yue to let her off, but the latter promised her that as long as she managed to gather evidence that those people attempted to murder Kan Chen, she would be able to keep her from going to jail. Qin Yue and Li Mo put a bug on Lucy¡¯s suit. Xue Na had asked to meet Lucy today, and the two of them followed her to the Dante Bar. Not long after Lucy entered the bar, the signal was suddenly cut. Li Mo frowned. ¡°This bar is only open to members. Moreover, anyone who goes in can wear a mask to protect their privacy. Wait for me in the car. I¡¯ll think of a way to slip in.¡± ¡°Just follow me obediently.¡± Qin Yue tidied her dress, then put masks on for Li Mo and herself and held his arm as they walked towards the bar. ¡°Oh! Hello! Please show me your identity card!¡± The bartender at the entrance sized up Qin Yue¡¯s body-hugging dress and the casually dressed Li Mo beside her. Such a combination was very similar to a secret rendezvous between a rich lady and her young boyfriend. Qin Yue pulled out a gold card from her chest, like a magic trick, and was let in. There weren¡¯t many guests today. Qin Yue scanned the entire place, but she didn¡¯t see anyone who resembled Lucy, so she concluded that they were in the private room. ¡°Which of the private rooms are empty today? I want to invite my friends for a gathering here.¡± ¡°The largest private room here has already been reserved. The remaining private rooms are still empty.¡± Qin Yue suddenly flared up. ¡°Chase them out! My family is very rich!¡± The bartender looked troubled. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, Miss. That room has long been reserved. We really don¡¯t dare to disturb the guests in that private room. I can arrange for a better room for you.¡± Xue Na was just a socialite, so how could she be so important that she could book a private room at the bar? Qin Yue sent the bartender away, then split up with Li Mo. She walked into the deepest part of the bar and saw two muscular bodyguards standing guard outside a hidden VIP entrance. Hence, she paid off two dancers and got them to seduce and lead the bodyguards away, then stealthily walked to the entrance. When Qin Yue walked into the private rooms, she could hear Lucy sobbing in the innermost room. She quietly crept closer to the door. Through the gap in the door, Qin Yue covered her mouth in shock. Lucy was naked. She was pressed against the table in the room, and raped by a few men. Her face had been beaten till she was almost unrecognizable, and her skin was covered with hideous wounds. A shred of cloth had been stuffed into her mouth. The room was filled with men¡¯s laughter, and a few people were taking photos with their cameras. Xue Na sat on the sofa at the side and played with the gun in her hand. ¡°Qin Yue worked at Kan Chen¡¯s company, but you actually didn¡¯t recognize her. You failed your mission, and you still dare to beg me to protect you? If your skills in seducing men aren¡¯t good enough, I¡¯ll let you practice today.¡± Lucy no longer had the strength to cry. The excruciating pain that her body was in almost made her lose consciousness a few times. ex Xue Na deleted the photo on Lucy¡¯s phone. ¡°Today is just a warning. If you dare to expose me, I¡¯ll make sure your family dies in front of you.¡± Qin Yue noticed the men in the private room. All of them had strange tattoos on their bodies, and they looked very similar to the men she saw at Menghu Gang. Qin Yue wanted to take a closer look, but she accidentally pushed the door handle, and a creak could be heard. ¡°Who is it?¡± Xue Na heard the noise and immediately pointed her gun at the door. Oh no! When Qin Yue ran out of the VIP entrance, the men in the room were already chasing after her. Bang! Bang! Bang! A few bullets flew past Qin Yue¡¯s ears, and the people in the bar started to scream and attempted to escape. Qin Yue didn¡¯t dare to look back, and she quickly ran towards the entrance of the bar. How could these people dare to bring guns? Dante Bar was opened by an important government official, so no one dared to cause trouble here! no 0 cause Qin Yue was cornered by a few men, and she looked around helplessly. When the men saw that she didn¡¯t have any weapons in her hand, they put their guns back in the holsters and slowly approached her. Li Mo, who had been hiding behind the sofa when he heard the gunshot, rushed over when he saw that Qin Yue was in danger. He knocked down a man with one punch and tangled with the remaining men, buying time for Qin Yue. Qin Yue rushed to the entrance of the bar and started the car. When she saw a man press Li Mo down and pull out a dagger, she stepped on the accelerator and drove the car into the bar. ¡°Get in the car!¡± Qin Yue knocked the man away, and Li Mo dashed in. A man chasing after them fired a shot at her. When the bullet hit the car, Qin Yue lowered her body and turned the steering wheel to avoid the bullet. It was only when they were a block away that they heaved a sigh of relief. Li Mo panted heavily and threw the deformed mask on his face away. ¡°This is¡­ This is Xue Na¡¯s subordinate? Are you joking? Her family isn¡¯t that powerful!¡± This was difficult! Xue Na¡¯s background was stronger than she appeared to be. With a solemn expression, Qin Yue stepped on the accelerator. Chapter 31 - He Was Insanely Jealous Chapter 31 He Was Insanely Jealous When Qin Yue returned to Kan Chen¡¯s house, the butler was discussing matters with him in the living room. Seeing her return, his expression darkened. ¡°Where did you go?¡± ¡°I went to the police station. Li Mo was helping me to investigate something.¡± Qin Yue also sensed that something was wrong with Kan Chen¡¯s expression, and she realized that the butler was giving her a strange look. What happened to Kan Chen? I don¡¯t recall provoking him. ¡°What about yesterday afternoon?¡± ¡°Investigating something. With Li Mo.¡± ¡°And last Tuesday?¡± Qin Yue recalled the shootout at the bar last Tuesday, and she didn¡¯t notice the butler shaking his head furiously. ¡°At the police station. With Li Mo.¡± Kan Chen snorted coldly, and the atmosphere became solemn. The butler shook his head helplessly. Miss Qin is a smart person. Why don¡¯t you understand my gaze? It was only after dinner that Qin Yue picked up Li Mo¡¯s call. Li Mo¡¯s tone was a little agitated, and he asked her to meet him for a chat. Just as Qin Yue got dressed and was about to leave, Kan Chen finally said, ¡°I¡¯ll send you there.¡± Qin Yue shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I can drive myself.¡± Kan Chen blocked the door and hugged her waist tightly, then started mocking her, ¡°Do you want to marry him instead? That¡¯ll save you the trouble of having to meet him outside every day!¡± Qin Yue was stunned. ¡°I just asked him to help me investigate the case. Wait, are you jealous?¡± ¡°Is it because my family isn¡¯t powerful enough? Why do you have to work with him on a case? Does investigating a case require so much time?¡± Kan Chen roared. He knew very well that Qin Yue wouldn¡¯t do anything overboard with other men, but whenever other men approached her, he felt inexplicably unhappy! Qin Yue felt both angry and amused. In front of others, he was like an intimidating lion, but every time he faced Qin Yue, he would appear so childish. Qin Yue tiptoed and caressed his hair. ¡°Alright, alright. Let¡¯s go and look for Li Mo together. Are you happy now?¡± In a small bar by the road, Qin Yue awkwardly looked at Kan Chen and Li Mo as they sat opposite each other. Both of their gazes were unfriendly. When Li Mo saw Kan Chen, he immediately became hostile, unwilling to tell Qin Yue what he had found out. Qin Yue excused herself and went to the washroom. When she returned, she realized that her table was packed with people. These two childish people! Qin Yue cursed them in her heart. They actually ordered a table full of whiskeys and started drinking! It wasn¡¯t easy for Qin Yue to squeeze into the crowd, and the two men were surrounded by screaming women. ¡°Come on, handsome! You¡¯re so cute!¡± A woman shouted in Li Mo¡¯s ear. ¡°Give him a taste of his own medicine! You can do it!¡± Another woman cheered Kan Chen on. Before long, the table was filled with empty bottles. Kan Chen was the first to fall asleep on the sofa. Everyone cheered. Li Mo swayed as he stood up, then vomited on the ground. The people around him made sounds of disgust and quickly dispersed. Sighing helplessly, Qin Yue called Kan Chen¡¯s butler. Kan Chen was sleeping soundly, and had even started snoring. However, Li Mo¡¯s condition wasn¡¯t any better, and he had already started acting crazy. ¡°What happened to you today? What exactly did you find out?¡± Qin Yue supported the delirious Li Mo. Li Mo poured the water in the cup onto his head and held Qin Yue¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Come! Come with me! You¡¯re my¡­ My best friend. I can¡¯t let you be in danger!¡± Li Mo was very strong, and he had already pulled Qin Yue to the entrance of the bar. When Qin Yue saw that Kan Chen¡¯s butler had already arrived, she hurriedly shouted, ¡°You¡¯re drunk! I¡¯ll get the butler to send you home first!¡± Kan Chen¡¯s butler asked the bodyguards to take care of Kan Chen, then walked over to help Li Mo up. As though he had been provoked, Li Mo suddenly took out his gun and pressed it against the butler¡¯s forehead. ¡°What are you trying to do?!¡± U ¡°Li Mo, stop! This is Kan Chen¡¯s butler!¡± Qin Yue exclaimed. Li Mo¡¯s actions terrified the passersby at the entrance of the bar. Kan Chen¡¯s butler raised his hands high and observed that Li Mo was still drunk. After apologizing to Li Mo, he snatched the latter¡¯s pistol in an instant. In order to prevent Li Mo from injuring passersby, a few bodyguards rushed over and pressed the drunk Li Mo onto the ground. As though he had gone mad, he struggled and shouted at Qin Yue, ¡°Qin Yue, run quickly! Leave Kan Chen quickly! He¡¯s been lying to you! He¡¯ll kill you!¡± Chapter 32 - Their Parents Attitudes Chapter 32 Their Parents¡¯ Attitudes The glaring sunlight woke Qin Yue up. Beside her, Kan Chen was topless. He lay on the bed and kissed her forehead. ¡°Good morning, lazy kitten. We¡¯ll be very busy today. We have to go back to my family¡¯s mansion to visit my mother, and also to discuss the collaboration with your father.¡± Qin Yue rubbed her eyes and lay in his arms without saying a word. Over the past few days, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t contact Li Mo. His colleague at the police station told her that he had been sent overseas to investigate an important case. She was still thinking about what Li Mo had said when he was drunk ¨C Kan Chen was lying to her. Those words were like nails that pierced into Qin Yue¡¯s heart. When they arrived at the Kan Chen¡¯s family mansion, Xu Lan welcomed them. ¡°Work at the company has been exceptionally busy recently. It¡¯s been hard on the two of you.¡± Xu Lan specially prepared Qin Yue¡¯s favorite dessert. There was once a rumor that Qin Yue¡¯s private life was messy, and she was an ugly woman. However, Qin Yue¡¯s actions at the engagement banquet dispelled those rumors. Moreover, Qin Yue used the power of the mafia to open up the black market and help Pengfei Corporation expand their resource supplies, allowing Pengfei Corporation to become the world¡¯s top corporation. Now, all the wealthy ladies in the aristocratic society were praising Qin Yue¡¯s outstanding aura and looks, envious that Xu Lan would have a beautiful grandson in the future. Xu Lan¡¯s status in the aristocratic society was rising rapidly. Some time ago, after Qin Yue discovered the culprit who sold the company¡¯s confidential documents, Xu Lan¡¯s attitude towards her changed drastically. She started to notice the change in Qin Yue. Most importantly, Qin Yue seemed to really like Kan Chen. ¡°Kan Chen¡¯s father has been busy with work overseas. If your family has any requests with regard to the collaboration, you can just tell Kan Chen. When Kan Chen¡¯s father returns, the both of you should be prepared to get married.¡± Xu Lan held Qin Yue¡¯s hand and escorted Kan Chen and her out, then presented a luxurious diamond necklace to her. Xu Lan insisted on helping Qin Yue put on the necklace. Qin Yue¡¯s body stiffened. ¡°Your eyes really look like your mother¡¯s. She must be very happy to see you in heaven.¡± ¡°You knew my mother?¡± Qin Yue was a little surprised. Xu Lan¡¯s expression changed, and she looked a little awkward. At this moment, Kan Chen suddenly walked over and wrapped his arm around Qin Yue¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Ah! You actually gave the necklace that was passed down from your ancestors to her. Are you admitting that she¡¯s your daughter-in-law?¡± Xu Lan waved her hand. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that. I just think that this necklace suits her very well. You guys should leave. I have work to do too.¡± Qin Yue was seated outside the meeting room of the Kunxiao Corporation, and her bodyguards were massaging her shoulders. ¡°Young Miss, is there anything else you need us to do?¡± Qin Yue¡¯s bodyguards were especially attentive. Ever since the battle between Qin Yue and Scarface, they realized that their Young Miss was becoming more and more like Rose. She had extraordinary courage and was worthy of their loyalty. Qin Yue shook her head. She was a little unhappy. Although Xu Lan had already accepted her, Qin Ze¡¯s attitude towards her was still lukewarm. Qin Yue had always wanted to take over the Corporation, but it seemed like Qin Ze still didn¡¯t approve of her capabilities. Today, during the business collaboration meeting between Qin Ze and Kan Chen, he still made her wait outside and did not allow her to participate in the discussion. Half an hour later, Qin Ze walked out of the meeting room with a smile. When he saw Qin Yue, his expression instantly turned ugly. By then, Qin Yue had already fallen asleep on the chair outside the door. She was nodding off and drooling from the corner of her mouth. The bodyguards around her weren¡¯t idle either. Some of them helped her chase away the mosquitoes around her, some of them held her unfinished dessert, and some of them fanned her to cool her down. Qin Ze frowned and sighed. He quickly apologized to Kan Chen, hoping that he could forgive Qin Yue for her tardiness. To Qin Ze¡¯s surprise, not only did Kan Chen not blame Qin Yue for her rude behavior, he even signaled for him to lower his voice. Kan Chen quietly walked to her side with a loving gaze. He carefully carried her out of the office, afraid that he would wake her up. When the employees in the office saw their Young Miss being pampered by the President of the Kan family, they quietly praised this enviable couple. Only Qin Ze looked at their figures, and his expression became even more serious. Chapter 33 - I Want The World to Know That I Love You Chapter 33 I Want The World to Know That I Love You Ever since their engagement party, Qin Yue stopped wearing her mask and would often accompany Kan Chen to various business events to expand her network. In recent days, apart from analyzing the cooperation between government officials and gangs, news headlines revolved around the two of them publicly displaying their affection for each other. Kan Chen didn¡¯t return home from an emergency meeting last night, so Qin Yue drove to the office early. Five eye-catching limited edition sports cars were parked downstairs. They were surrounded by Kan Chen¡¯s bodyguards, and the car seats were filled with beautiful blue roses and large piles of gift boxes. This scene not only attracted Qin Yue, but also a group of people who surrounded them to take photos. When Qin Yue walked over, Kan Chen¡¯s butler came forward to take her car keys from her. ¡°Miss Qin, these cars are the anniversary gifts that our President specially prepared for you. Because it was secretly prepared, the President didn¡¯t know what style and color you liked, so he bought the latest models in different colors for you. He also imported some blue roses from Holland and personally chose some pieces of jewelry for you. ¡°Anniversary? It¡¯s my anniversary with Kan Chen?¡± Qin Yue really wasn¡¯t expecting to celebrate any anniversary with Kan Chen. The two of them had been officially together for less than a hundred days. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, and it was only then that Qin Yue realized that every single petal of the blue roses were inlaid with diamonds that shone under the sun. The young women crowding around them were frantically taking photos and recording videos, and they were shouting in envy. Qin Yue pulled out a stalk of blue rose and chuckled. This explained why he had been going out alone often, and would occasionally ask her what she liked. Every time she said that there was something she liked, he would disappear for an hour or two. ¡°Look up!¡± A girl pointed excitedly at the sky. Qin Yue looked up and saw a few helicopters hovering over the building. Then, she realized that tiny petals were falling from the sky. She reached out and picked up a petal. ¡°Cherry blossoms?¡± The petals continued to fall, gradually filling up the entire street. In addition to the fragrance of the cherry blossoms, it was as though the world had fallen into a fragrant pink. Qin Yue was ecstatic, and she jumped around like a little girl as she grabbed the petals in the air. She had once complained to Kan Chen on a rainy day, ¡°Why is it raining? Whenever it rains, I¡¯ll feel depressed. If only the raindrops were replaced by beautiful flower petals instead.¡± ¡°It¡¯s raining cherry blossoms! I¡¯m so envious that she has such a boyfriend!¡± ¡°I heard that this was prepared by the President of Pengfei Corporation, Mr. Kan! It¡¯s that handsome man who occupied the headlines a few days ago!¡± ¡°The richest man in the country whom countless heiresses want to hook up with?¡± ¡°His girlfriend is also very pretty. Is she a celebrity?¡± The onlookers didn¡¯t try to hide their discussions about Qin Yue and Kan Chen. She raised an eyebrow and put on an aloof expression as she walked into the office. The moment she stepped into the building, the entire path she took was covered with soft feathers. The feathers fluttered gently under her footsteps, all the way till she reached Kan Chen¡¯s office. The moment the door opened, Qin Yue¡¯s eyes were blinded by the dazzling gold decorations on the wall. The entire office had been redecorated. From a traditional-looking office, it had been changed to the bright and extravagant style that Qin Yue liked. Kan Chen had even considerately installed a walk-in closet specially for her. It was filled with the latest season¡¯s clothes, bags, and jewelry. Kan Chen suddenly hugged her from behind and kissed her earlobe gently. ¡°Today marks the tenth year that we¡¯ve known each other. I want to make up for all the gaps in these ten years. I want to tell the world that you¡¯re my woman.¡± Chapter 34 - Fireworks Passing In A Flash Chapter 34 Fireworks Passing In A Flash The couple embraced each other and made out till they were breathless. ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for so long? Why don¡¯t I remember it?¡± Qin Yue caressed his well-defined face. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because I¡¯m ugly that you didn¡¯t notice me back then,¡± Kan Chen teased. ¡°I¡¯ve already arranged our itinerary. We¡¯ll leave immediately.¡± In order to escape from the paparazzi, Kan Chen arranged for a private plane to take them to Italy. There, they could put down all their restrictions and enjoy themselves. Qin Yue enjoyed authentic Italian ice cream, immersed herself in the artistic atmosphere of Michelangelo and Botticelli, and praised the grandeur of the Milan Cathedral. Kan Chen followed closely behind her, watching her play like a child. When night fell, the couple strolled to the Trevi Fountain and made wishes. Qin Yue silently prayed in her heart. She hoped that she would never be separated from Kan Chen. Then, she threw a coin into the fountain. ¡°What did you wish for?¡± Kan Chen was intrigued by Qin Yue¡¯s serious expression. Qin Yue smiled and kissed his cheek. ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± Kan Chen brought Qin Yue to the highest peak of the city. The two of them admired the beautiful scenery of Italy, and Kan Chen got his men to light up the fireworks that they had prepared. The dazzling fireworks lit up the city. Just as Qin Yue was praising the fireworks display, Kan Chen had already gotten down on one knee and pulled out a diamond ring from his pocket. ¡°My love¡­ You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. I want you to be my wife, will you marry me?¡± Tears welled up in Qin Yue¡¯s eyes, and she was extremely agitated. She had waited too long for true love. Qin Yue nodded. Kan Chen put the diamond ring on her finger, and the fireworks in the sky recorded the love between the couple. After the proposal, the couple sat by a fountain, drinking champagne. Kan Chen borrowed a violin from a roadside musician and played a lively tune for Qin Yue. Qin Yue was slightly tipsy, and she danced barefooted with the music, becoming a beautiful sight on the streets. Her little dance recital attracted a lot of attention, and everyone smiled at the attractive couple. Qin Yue spun around, and the red dress on her body bloomed like a flower petal. In the end, under the cheers of the crowd, Kan Chen hugged the unsteady Qin Yue and kissed her red lips. ¡°You¡¯re drunk, my love.¡± Kan Chen¡¯s voice was low and gentle. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I felt so relaxed. Ever since my mother died, my world seemed to have suddenly lost its light. I always thought that my mother died in an accident, but later on, I found out that she was murdered. I swore to find the murderer.¡± Qin Yue leaned against Kan Chen¡¯s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. Kan Chen¡¯s heart seemed to beat erratically. ¡°So, you¡¯ve been investigating this matter?¡± Kan Chen pinched her chin. ¡°I¡¯ve said that I¡¯ll protect you, so you can leave everything to me.¡± Qin Yue chuckled as she recalled everything that Kan Chen had done for her in her previous life. ¡°You¡¯ve already done too much for me. Ever since I met you, my world has regained its warmth. I promise you that I¡¯ll definitely protect myself and seek your help when I¡¯m in trouble. After everything is over, I¡¯ll stick to you for the rest of my life and won¡¯t let anyone snatch you away.¡± Kan Chen caressed her hair and said, ¡°You can trust me unconditionally. I¡¯ll be your strongest support.¡± Chapter 35 - Punishing Her In Front of the Mirror Chapter 35 Punishing Her In Front of the Mirror Qin Yue and Kan Chen played in the hotel¡¯s casino until late at night. The drunk Qin Yue was very bold. When she was playing table games, she took off her thong and tied it around her head as a headband. Her dress wrapped tightly around her ample b*ttocks. All the men around the table focused their attention on this sexy woman in a red dress. Kan Chen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He signaled to the bodyguard beside him, and the guards blocked the men¡¯s line of sight. Then, he then tyrannically pulled Qin Yue into his arms and caressed her slender waist, declaring his ownership over her. ¡°Wild kitten, are you trying to attract my attention? I¡¯ll have to properly punish you.¡± With a devilish smile, she rubbed her face against his stubble like a kitten and playfully licked his chin. Her fragrance and moist tongue ignited his desire. The way he looked at her was like a lion looking at its prey. He threw her over his shoulder and brought her back to their room. The moment they entered the room, Kan Chen tore Qin Yue¡¯s dress, removed her bra, and pinned her against the wall as he kissed her passionately. At this moment, his desire enveloped her, and she responded fiercely to him. Reaching out, she pushed his jacket off and caressed his muscular chest. He unbuttoned his shirt and panted heavily as he spanked her butt. ¡°I¡¯m going to punish you now.¡± Kan Chen pulled the sofa over to the full-length mirror and sat down. He made the naked Qin Yue sit on his lap, then forced her to look at their reflection. Qin Yue¡¯s face flushed crimson red. In the mirror, Kan Chen¡¯s dark suit pants formed a sharp contrast with Qin Yue¡¯s snow-white legs. He skillfully used his warm palms to gradually grip her br*asts, moving up from her waist, and he didn¡¯t forget to kiss her neck and earlobe. Qin Yue was acting a little restrained, but Kan Chen suddenly spread her legs apart, revealing her entirely naked body in the mirror. At the same time, he started to knead her voluptuous chest wantonly, teasing her sensitive n*pples. A numbing pleasure traveled from her chest, and her entire body trembled as her breathing started to accelerate. Feeling shy, Qin Yue wanted to cover her body to avoid Kan Chen¡¯s scorching gaze. However, the latter undid his tie and tied Qin Yue¡¯s hands up, as though he was punishing her. He gently bit Qin Yue¡¯s neck and shoulder, leaving two red bite marks. Kan Chen¡¯s voice became hoarse from desire. ¡°Don¡¯t hide from me. Look in the mirror.¡± His fingers roamed between her legs. Her cl*t was swollen and hard like a small ball of flesh, so he gently rubbed it. The lascivious scene assaulted Qin Yue¡¯s mind, making her even more sensitive. Her entire body trembled, and a wave of nectar flowed out from the pink slit between her legs. Kan Chen reached out and gently pushed the slit open, revealing the pink flesh within. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Qin Yue let out an enticing moan. Kan Chen¡¯s fingers caressed the tender opening, gently pinching the swollen cl*t as he slowly inserted his fingers in. Qin Yue¡¯s entire body felt numb. Her breaths hitched, and her body twisted around in dissatisfaction. At the same time, she saw his scorching and erect heat pressed tightly against her v*gina. ¡°Do you want it?¡± Kan Chen held back his desire as his freed his c*ck and slowly rubbed it against her wet and narrow entrance. He felt like he was about to explode. ¡°I want it¡­.¡± Qin Yue¡¯s voice was like the fuse of an explosive. One hand roamed between her breasts, while the other teased her cl*t and allowed his erect rod to slowly enter her body. ¡°Oh honey, relax. I can¡¯t go in.¡± Kan Chen let out a sexy gasp. He could feel her tightness and warmth, but he couldn¡¯t control himself. Not daring to use too much force, he continued to tease her cl*t, increasing her sensitivity. Qin Yue saw how Kan Chen¡¯s giant dragon had wormed its way into her body through the mirror. She could feel that the fiery beast that had wormed its way into her body was still expanding and hardening, as though it was about to burst through her v*gina. The pain in her lower body was quickly replaced by pleasure, and she started to pant uncontrollably. Kan Chen¡¯s fingers were still drumming her cl*t. She was at the limit, and her lower body was contracting rhythmically as liquid spilled out of it. Under Qin Yue¡¯s moans, Kan Chen finally broke through the narrow entrance in her tunnel and completely slid into her body. Without any restraints, he raised her legs up and began to pound her rhythmically. Finally, under his forceful assault, her body started to move along his increasingly violent thrusts, and she started secreting a large amount of fluids that was mixed with the blood caused by the ruptured hymen. A series of pleasurable sounds emitted from the point of their contact and was amplified in Qin Yue¡¯s mind. The unprecedented pleasure made her moan loudly. Kan Chen growled as he gripped her waist roughly and spilled the desire he had accumulated for a long time into her body. Chapter 36 - The Lion In Heat For 24 Hours Chapter 36 The Lion In Heat For 24 Hours In her sleep, Qin Yue felt the pleasure from her lower body intensify. When Qin Yue opened her eyes, she saw Kan Chen leaning on her and gently licking her petals. ¡°My love, do you enjoy being woken up this way?¡± His kisses traveled up from her abdomen and stopped at her forehead. With a smile, she pushed him away. Last night, he was like a lion in heat, tirelessly claiming her body until dawn. Her p*ssy had already become swollen, and she slept until the afternoon. ¡°Li Mo called you. You were sleeping soundly, so I answered the call for you. I told him that I had proposed to you, and he said that he would be very busy during this period and might not have time to attend our wedding.¡± Kan Chen handed his phone to Qin Yue, who scrolled through the messages that Li Mo had left for her. ¡°I still hope that he can attend our wedding. You know that I¡¯m very close to him, and he¡¯s just like my brother. It¡¯ll be a pity if he can¡¯t be there.¡± Kan Chen lay down beside her and hugged her to comfort her. ¡°We can wait until he comes back before holding the wedding. I¡¯ve already waited for ten years, so I¡¯m fine if it¡¯s delayed by a few days.¡± Qin Yue leaned against his chest and frowned as she scrutinized his eyes. ¡°So, where were we when we first met?¡± ¡°Do you want to know?¡± Kan Chen pinched her chin and caressed her soft red lips with a devilish smile. ¡°You need to satisfy me before I tell you.¡± Qin Yue¡¯s wrist was gripped tightly by him, and he motioned for her to feel her way down his chest. When she felt his erect c*ck pushing against her body, she was a little embarrassed. ¡°Why? It¡­¡± Qin Yue¡¯s face was flushed red. W Kan Chen grabbed her hand and placed it on his c*ck, then looked at him pitifully, asking her to help him. Qin Yue held the hard rod and rubbed it awkwardly. However, as she watched it grow larger and larger, she opened her mouth slowly and sucked it in. ¡°Oh, God,¡± Kan Chen growled as he watched her lick his desire. Finally, just as Qin Yue¡¯s mouth started to turn numb, Kan Chen suddenly charged into her mouth and spilled his thick semen, which filled up her entire mouth. ¡°Ahem! Can you tell me now?¡± Qin Yue coughed as she wiped the remnant liquid off her lips. Suddenly, he flipped her over and pinned her under him. He spread her legs apart and stabbed his still erect dragon into her wet v*gina. Startled by the foreign object that suddenly entered her body, she screamed. Immediately after, she felt a hot bar hitting her uterus. ¡°Wait! Ah¡­ It¡¯s too deep¡­ Ah¡­ Why¡­ Aren¡¯t you done?¡± Done? Did this woman think that he couldn¡¯t last? Kan Chen violently rammed into her, and as he watched her snow-white br*asts sway crazily under his impact, he pinched her nipples with one hand and used the other to play with her cl*t. Very quickly, she reached her climax, and her lewd water spurted out onto his abs. ¡°So, you don¡¯t like it? Hmm?¡± The pleasure of her orgasm almost made her faint. When she felt her neck being strangled by Kan Chen, she opened her mouth and his fingers slipped into it. Qin Yue¡¯s tongue swirled around his fingers. ¡°Your p*ssy is very honest. It isn¡¯t satisfied at all. It¡¯s begging me to f*ck it to death.¡± The way Qin Yue begged with tears in her eyes made Kan Chen very satisfied. ¡°You¡¯ll be my woman for the rest of your life. I won¡¯t let him snatch you away. I swear!¡± In her daze, she seemed to have heard Kan Chen say something strange. Him? Who was he? Noticing that she was distracted, he slapped her huge swaying br*ast. ¡°Oh! No! Oh my! Don¡¯t you lick there!¡± Qin Yue moaned as Kan Chen took br*ast into his mouth. Feeling as though she was electrocuted, she squeezed her legs tightly and reached another climax. By the time Kan Chen and Qin Yue boarded the return flight, Qin Yue felt like she was about to dehydrate. She suddenly felt that dating a lion like Kan Chen, who was in heat 24 hours a day, would be a decision she would regret in this lifetime. Chapter 37 - The Silent Father Chapter 37 The Silent Father Qin Yue pulled out the surveillance footage of the pinhole camera installed at Xue Na¡¯s house to check on her movements over the past few days. She realized that Xue Na was plotting other ways to get close to Kan Chen. However, she was always extremely cautious when she spoke to others on the phone. She would repeatedly change her SIM cards, install anti-tracking devices, and use special codes to communicate. Qin Yue was unable to obtain more information from Xue Na¡¯s calls, but the latter¡¯s cautiousness made her uneasy. Has she discovered that I was monitoring her? Qin Yue called Li Mo, hoping to get some suggestions from him, but his phone remained unanswered. Qin Yue was thinking about her next step when Qin Ze suddenly called. ¡°Come back for a while. Pack up the miscellaneous items that you don¡¯t need and throw them away. We¡¯ll be moving to a manor in the city center in two days.¡± Before Qin Yue could ask why her father was suddenly moving, he had already hung up. Qin Ze rarely made any calls to Qin Yue. Even when he did, it was because he wanted to order her to do certain things, and he would speak to her emotionlessly. Back home, Qin Yue packed up the items in her room. The servants were also busy packing up the rest of the house. It seemed like Qin Ze was moving in a hurry and didn¡¯t inform anyone beforehand. A maid knocked on Qin Yue¡¯s bedroom door. ¡°Young Miss, I found your childhood toys and the late Madam¡¯s belongings in the storeroom. Can you please help to confirm if they should be brought along?¡±. When Qin Yue came to the storeroom, she kept sneezing because of the thick layer of dust. Qin Ze had always placed these things in the storeroom and refused to throw them away. He also didn¡¯t allow others to enter and sort them out. Qin Yue removed all the items from the shelves and packed them into a box. She tidied up her mother¡¯s belongings and looked through a photo album with pictures of her mother and her. In one photo, Gu Zhen was hugging Qin Yue and smiling happily. Qin Yue suddenly recalled what Xu Lan said. It turns out that my eyes really resembled my mother¡¯s. Qin Yue placed the heavy photo album in the box and organized the paintings that she had drawn when she was young. Then, a yellowed letter fell from the canvas. Qin Yue opened the letter. The ink on the letter had mostly faded, and she could barely make out the contents. It seemed as though it was a young woman¡¯s letter to her lover, expressing her love for him and longing for their beautiful future. Qin Yue looked at the signature. It was signed with a beautifully written alphabet, ¡°G.¡± This was probably a love letter her mother had written to her father. Although Qin Ze had never told Qin Yue about his love affair with Gu Zhen, the latter had once shared something with Qin Yue when she was young. Back then, Gu Zhen had ignored the objections of her family and bravely pursued Qin Ze. In the end, the two of them walked down the aisle after receiving the blessings of their parents. Hence, Qin Yue had always believed that as long as she bravely pursued true love, it would come to her. Qin Yue shrugged and carefully placed the letter and photo album together. saw When she was done packing, she saw Qin Ze¡¯s car parked at the entrance. ¡°We¡¯re leaving. Why are you taking so long?¡± Qin Ze complained sternly. Qin Yue looked at his graying sideburns. This time, she didn¡¯t rebut him. ¡°You¡¯re just unhappy with everything that I say or do. Can you at least tell me why you¡¯re in a hurry to move? The current manor is quite close to the company.¡± ¡°Kan Chen and you are getting married soon. Before you get married, there will definitely be many eyes on you. I¡¯ve hired more bodyguards for you. You have to be more careful during this period.¡± Qin Ze didn¡¯t answer her question at all. ¡°I¡¯m no longer a child. I¡¯m very powerful now,¡± Qin Yue muttered softly as she looked out the window. On the way, the father and daughter pair remained silent until Qin Ze sent her to the entrance of Pengfei Corporation. Kan Chen seemed to know that Qin Yue was coming, so he waited at the entrance to welcome her. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take good care of her for the next few days. I¡¯ll be back after settling some matters,¡± Qin Ze said to Kan Chen. Kan Chen nodded and bade farewell to Qin Ze. Before Qin Yue knew what the two of them were talking about, Qin Ze had already gotten into the car and asked the driver to drive off. Qin Yue complained to Kan Chen, ¡°Wait, why am I the only one who doesn¡¯t know what happened?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough, my little princess. Mr. Qin has something important to do these few days, so I¡¯m here to protect you.¡± He suddenly slung her over his shoulder and threw her into his car despite her resistance. Qin Ze sat in the car and frowned. He put out the cigarette in his hand and hesitated for a long time before calling the number in his hand. ¡°We need to talk.¡± Chapter 38 - The Deceaseds Belongings Chapter 38 The Deceased¡¯s Belongings Qin Yue woke up a little late today. When she saw that she had a missed call from an unidentified number, she felt a little strange and returned the call. On the other end of the line, Li Mo¡¯s voice traveled over. There was panic and fear in his voice. The signal was also very bad, causing a lot of interference in Li Mo¡¯s voice. ¡°I¡¯m Li Mo. Listen to me¡­ I found out who the gang with the tattoo is¡­ When I infiltrated their base¡­ I noticed¡­ A figure that looked like Kan Chen¡­ I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s him¡­ That day at the bar¡­ He¡­ Did not admit it¡­¡± Qin Yue frowned. How could the gangsters under Xue Na know who Kan Chen was? Wasn¡¯t Xue Na after Kan Chen¡¯s life? ¡°Where have you been? Why haven¡¯t you contacted me?¡± ¡°I was searching for clues¡­ And was followed¡­ My superiors also¡­ Sent me over to investigate a case¡­ My phone was being monitored¡­ You should keep your distance from Kan Chen¡­¡± ¡°Who are you on the phone with?¡± Kan Chen¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind her, giving her a scare. Li Mo hung up immediately. ¡°With¡­ With my father. He wants to ask if we¡¯ve discussed¡­ uh, the exact date of our marriage,¡± Qin Yue lied in a panic as she looked at the man in front of her. She wasn¡¯t sure when he had appeared behind her. ¡°When my father comes back, I¡¯ll bring you to meet him, then set the date. My wild kitten, you can¡¯t wait to marry me?¡± Qin Yue observed Kan Chen carefully, but he didn¡¯t seem to notice that she was lying. ¡°I hope no one will cause a scene at our wedding.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re worried that the pest Xiao Yu will try to disrupt the wedding, I can get someone to get rid of him in prison now.¡± He sounded laidback, but it made Qin Yue inexplicably feel pressured. She had spent too much time with him, so much so that she had already forgotten how terrifying the person in front of her was. He even had the power to overturn the government. These few days, Kan Chen was at the company, working on the company¡¯s expansion plans. Qin Yue sat in the meeting room and flipped through the documents, which introduced the power and status of Pengfei Corporation. A powerful corporation? She suddenly recalled what Li Mo said. He had suddenly been sent to the border to investigate a case. She then left the meeting room and found a quiet place. With questions in her heart, she instructed her subordinates to secretly investigate Li Mo¡¯s police station. What she was most worried about still happened. Her subordinate sent the results of his investigation to her. A few days ago, Kan Chen had used his connections with the government to send Li Mo to the border to investigate the case, forcing him to stop the follow-up investigations of Menghu Gang. ¡°What is the situation at the border?¡± ¡°A gang suddenly launched a terrorist attack at the border. Many police officers have been sent to suppress them, but the other party has strong firepower to support them, and many police officers have been killed.¡± A bad feeling rose in Qin Yue¡¯s heart. She quickly picked up her jacket and prepared to go to the police station to clarify the matter. After the meeting, Kan Chen didn¡¯t see Qin Yue, and eventually, he found her in the carpark, preparing to leave. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Where are you going?¡± See Noticing the ugly expression on her face, he seemed to have expected something. Without giving her a chance to reject him, he took the car keys and said, ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you.¡± At the police station, a SWAT officer took the opportunity to explain the situation at the border to Qin Yue, while his colleague was checking the list of casualties. Kan Chen could clearly feel Qin Yue¡¯s grip on his hand tighten. ¡°Miss Qin, is this the person you¡¯re looking for?¡± A policeman handed her a bloodstained necklace and a name list. ¡°We didn¡¯t find the body. These were the deceased¡¯s belongings we found at the border. I¡¯m sorry for your loss.¡± Chapter 39 - A Blood Debt Should Be Repaid In Blood Chapter 39 A Blood Debt Should Be Repaid In Blood Qin Yue held the casualties list in her hand. Li Mo¡¯s name was indeed on it. Tears blurred her eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go. There¡¯s no other way now. Let¡¯s go and hand Li Mo¡¯s belongings over to his family.¡± Kan Chen wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and she struggled free. What did he mean by there was no other way? ¡°You were the one who sent him to the border! Now that he¡¯s been murdered, you¡¯re just going to sit back and do nothing?¡± Qin Yue couldn¡¯t believe that this was something that Kan Chen would say. Kan Chen suppressed his rage. ¡°If I had known about this, I wouldn¡¯t have let you continue investigating! Don¡¯t you understand? This matter ends here!¡± ¡°Then who¡¯s going to be responsible for Li Mo¡¯s death?! Who¡¯s going to be responsible for my mother¡¯s death?! Am I supposed to let it go so easily?!¡± Qin Yue broke down and walked towards the door. ¡°These things aren¡¯t something you can control! Stop investigating!¡± Kan Chen grabbed Qin Yue¡¯s wrist and almost went berserk. Why did the Kan Chen she knew become so weak and timid? ¡°Have you ever considered my feelings? If you don¡¯t want to help me, at least don¡¯t try to stop me!¡± Kan Chen hugged her tightly. ¡°Let¡¯s just forget about it! I don¡¯t want you to be in danger! I¡¯m begging you, stop investigating these things!¡± Pa! Qin Yue¡¯s slap landed ruthlessly on Kan Chen¡¯s face, and she broke free from his embrace. Just let it go? What a ridiculous thing to say. Qin Yue was completely disappointed in him. She got into the car, escorted by her bodyguards. ¡°Bring all your equipment, and we¡¯ll set off for the border. We¡¯ll settle the scores with them.¡± Qin Yue pulled her knife out of the corpse. Behind her lay a bunch of dead people. ¡°Don¡¯t kill me! Please don¡¯t kill me! I¡¯m begging you! I don¡¯t know anything!¡± A man was kneeling on the ground, begging for his life. His entire body was covered in blood. This young woman led a small group of people and killed everyone who stood in her way. In just half an hour, she wiped out the entire gang. ¡°Do you recognize this necklace?¡± There was no expression on Qin Yue¡¯s face as she raised the bloody necklace in her hand. Li Mo made this out of bullet shells, and he wore it wherever he went. The man¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°I don¡¯t! I don¡¯t know him! I don¡¯t know him! This has nothing to do with me! I didn¡¯t do it! We were just following someone¡¯s orders! He¡¯s in the house! In the house!¡± Without any hesitation, Qin Yue shot the man and kicked the door open. Inside the house, a group of men in black took out their guns and aimed them at Qin Yue. A middle-aged man sat on a chair with a cigar in his mouth, while playing with some cards in his hand. ¡°Ah! Qin Yue, you¡¯re finally here. Come, sit down.¡± The man waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to put down their guns. He seemed to have expected Qin Yue¡¯s arrival. The large sunglasses covered his face, and Qin Yue wasn¡¯t sure who he was. ¡°Did you kill Li Mo?¡± ¡°The policeman? He could have survived, but he ruined my plans, child. I¡¯m sorry, but I can¡¯t hand over his body. After he died, he was thrown into the sea by my men. By now, he should have been eaten up by the sharks.¡± The man spoke slowly, as though he was enjoying a leisurely meal. ¡°You, on the other hand, have grown a lot.¡± The man spat the cigar onto the floor. ¡°Your eyes look more and more like your mother¡¯s.¡± ¡°So, are you ready to be buried to make up for my mother¡¯s death?¡± Qin Yue took out her gun. However, in the next second, she was ambushed from behind. A man dressed in black behind her swiftly cut her leg, snatched her gun, and pinned her to the ground. The middle-aged man sized up Qin Yue and sneered, ¡°You¡¯ve indeed grown a lot, but it¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re still too young.¡± Qin Yue gritted her teeth and bore the pain in her leg. She grabbed the man¡¯s wrist and wrestled him, pushing him over her back. Then, she rolled on the ground, grabbed the knife hidden in her boot, and threw it out. The knife flew towards the middle-aged man, and the man behind him quickly shielded him. When Qin Yue escaped from the ¡°Bone Cave¡±, her bodyguards had already separated from her in order to stop those men in black. When Qin Yue ran to the car, she saw Kan Chen walking out of a black car. Great! He was probably worried about her, so he followed her here! ¡°Kan¡­¡± Before she could shout his name out, her nose and mouth were covered, and the smell of chloroform rushed into her brain. Her vision turned black, and she fainted. Chapter 40 - The Final Result Chapter 40 The Final Result Qin Yue was awakened by a shower of cold water. She coughed and choked, and realized that her hands were bound to an iron cross. The wound on her leg was still bleeding, and there was a faint, throbbing pain. A few tall men stood in the dim room, but they didn¡¯t say a word. From their postures and figures, these people definitely didn¡¯t look like ordinary hooligans. ¡°Who are you?!¡± Qin Yue tried her best to break free from the restraints, but it was all in vain. Her struggle and screams seemed to have angered the other party. A man walked over and punched her in the stomach. A sharp pain shot through her abdomen, and she vomited whatever that was inside. Who were these people? Then, for no reason whatsoever, a man grabbed her neck and punched her face ruthlessly. Her face instantly became bruised, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Her face was in intense pain. Before she could react, another punch landed on her face. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain. After a few consecutive blows, one of her eyes was swollen, affecting her sight. Her face had also become numb. When a man saw Qin Yue¡¯s head hanging down, he signaled for his companion to stop. He walked up to her, pulled her hair, and observed if she was still breathing. Qin Yue suddenly spat the blood in her mouth onto the man¡¯s face, then raised her leg and kicked him ruthlessly. The man cried out in pain as he held his lower body. Blood seeped out from the man¡¯s crotch through his pants. The man curled up on the ground, unable to move, and was dragged away by his companion, leaving only another man, who stood at a distance safe from Qin Yue¡¯s attack. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you¡¯ve kidnapped me to blackmail my family, or you¡¯re trying to take revenge on me, I¡¯ll make sure all of you die a horrible death!¡± Qin Yue said viciously as she licked the blood off her lips. ¡°We¡¯re just helping our master get rid of his obstacles. If your father doesn¡¯t arrive at the appointed time, we¡¯ll cut off your limbs and give them to him.¡± The man¡¯s voice was very calm. He took out a camera and set it in the middle of the room, then set the alarm clock in his hand and placed it on the table. Time ticked by, and in ten minutes, the alarm clock rang for the first time. The man picked up a leather whip on the table and whipped Qin Yue ruthlessly. Qin Yue suffered countless lacerations, and her screams echoed in the small room. The camera in front of Qin Yue continued to record her ordeal. She was sure that these images would be sent to Qin Ze. Ring! The alarm clock rang for the second time. The man changed his weapon, this time taking a bloody dagger. He tore Qin Yue¡¯s clothes, and stabbed the knife in the middle of her collarbones, then slowly dragged the knife downwards. The intense and persistent pain attacked Qin Yue¡¯s brain continuously. She trembled uncontrollably, and blood flowed from the wound onto the ground, like the falling of wilted rose petals. Qin Yue¡¯s vision started to blur when she noticed a strange tattoo on the man¡¯s wrist. This tattoo was the one she saw at the bar the other day. ¡°So, your master is Xue Na, right?¡± Qin Yue panted weakly as she mocked, ¡°That b*tch wanted my father to appear and snatch our assets, is that right?¡± Xue Na¡¯s family relied on the mafia to secure their footing. She had always wanted to take over Qin Yue¡¯s assets to strengthen her family¡¯s status, and this was something that Qin Yue was well aware of. In her previous life, Xue Na had relied on Xiao Yu to deceive Qin Yue. In this life, her wings had already been broken by Qin Yue, so she could only use force. The man looked at Qin Yue in surprise but didn¡¯t say anything. Ding! The alarm clock rang for the third time. Just as the man was about to cut Qin Yue¡¯s face with the knife, the door was opened. The cold wind outside mixed with the rain drifted into the house, and a man appeared. Qin Yue saw a faint ray of hope. My father is here to save me! However, in the next second, the light in Qin Yue¡¯s eyes extinguished. She had just gotten a good look at the person¡¯s face. It was Kan Chen. Dressed in a tailored suit, he walked towards her at a leisurely pace. His face was expressionless as he towered over her, forming a sharp contrast with the disheveled woman on the cross. ¡°Sir, it¡¯s been half an hour, but Qin Ze isn¡¯t here yet.¡± The man in the room stood up and reported to Kan Chen. Qin Yue¡¯s mind exploded. There was a searing feeling in her heart. Now, she completely believed that the governmental agreement Xiao Yu showed her was real, and everything that Li Mo said was also true. ¡°There¡¯s no need to waste anymore time then. He can just collect her corpse.¡± Even his voice sounded strange and unfamiliar. Qin Yue couldn¡¯t say a word. She couldn¡¯t think anymore. Kan Chen raised his arm and aimed the gun at Qin Yue. Bang! Qin Yue looked down and saw blood blooming on her chest.
