Chapter 71: Rubbed Against Her Leg Under the Table
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pollen allergy? Xu Anran frowned. Why didn't she know about this? Could it be that she didn't know enough about Jiang Rongyan, so she didn't know? But whatever. Seeing Jiang Rongyan like this, she didn't want to care.
"What does Mr. Qi do? Where do you work?" After ordering the meal, Jiang Rongyan and Qi Yun chatted casually.
Out of courtesy, Qi Yun always answered Jiang Rongyan's questions. His expression was gentle, and he did not even frown.
Xu Anran listened by the side and did not interrupt, but her heart was getting more and more irritated.
What kind of questions were these!? Suddenly, she felt someone touch her leg. She looked up and saw that Jiang Rongyan was busy chatting with Qi Yun, but he did not forget to look at her meaningfully.
She knew that Jiang Rongyan was rubbing against her leg just now. Xu Anran was not convinced and kicked him back.
Jiang Rongyan felt the pain and grunted coldly. He turned his head and asked her, "Why did you kick me?"
Xu Anran looked up at him and did not show any weakness. "Jiang Rongyan, don't frame me.
Who kicked you? The four of us are too crowded. I accidentally bumped into you.'
"It's obvious that you weren't careless with your strength. Do you think I interrupted your date?"
Xu Anran turned around and looked into his eyes. "No, [ didn't!"
Jiang Rongyan gritted his teeth and nodded. He turned around with an unhappy expression and stopped looking at her. Didn't he just interrupt her date? Was there a need to be so ruthless? Jiang Rongyan was unhappy in his heart. He even looked at Qi Yun with hostility.
Xu Anran was also displeased when she saw this. Although Qi Yun had confessed to her, he was still her client after all. The two of them got along well, but once Jiang Rongyan came, everything changed. The atmosphere was so tense, and he was openly hostile towards Qi Yun. It made her very angry.
She touched Jiang Rongyan's leg with her leg. "Move aside, I need to go to the toilet."
Looking at Xu Anran's figure, Jiang Rongyan picked up his phone and said, "Sorry, I'm going out to make a phone call. Mr. Qi, take your time to eat." With that, he got up and walked to the bathroom.
At the door of the bathroom, he lit a cigarette. When he saw Xu Anran's figure, Qi Yun put out the cigarette in his hand and grabbed her arm, pulling her to another hidden place in the Western restaurant.
Xu Anran saw that it was him, so she suddenly shook his hand off and looked at him coldly. "Mr.
Jiang, what's the matter?"
Seeing the anger in her eyes, Jiang Rongyan frowned, but he still didn't say anything.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go out." Xu Anran's frown deepened. In the past, she only thought that Jiang Rongyan was a good-for-nothing. At least he knew what was reasonable and what to say at the right moment.
But after today's incident, she realized that this person did not care about other people's feelings at all. He could provoke others as he pleased. He did not even care about the feelings of the people around him, much less her feelings. What was there to talk about with a person like him? Xu Anran became angrier and angrier. She did not even want to see Jiang Rongyan. She turned around and walked out.
Jiang Rongyan did not say anything. He reached out and grabbed her arm. He pulled her back and blocked her in the corner.
Jiang Rongyan did not say anything. He reached out and grabbed her arm. He pulled her back and blocked her in the corner.
Xu Anran was really angry. She raised her head abruptly. She shook Jiang Rongyan's hand away. "Jiang Rongyan, didn't you go a little overboard today? Are you humiliating me or Qi Yun? Aren't you being too disrespectful? Do you know what kind of person Qi Yun is? He's my client!"
Seeing this, Jiang Rongyan took her hand without any explanation and pushed her back. He pressed her against the wall and used his mouth to block what she wanted to say..

Chapter 72: Jiang Rongyan's Kiss
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At first, Xu Anran was still resisting, but after resisting for a while, she naturally went up to Jiang Rongyan and followed his rhythm, feeling the unique and refreshing breath in his mouth.
Jiang Rongyan had just smoked, and there was a faint smell of smoke in his mouth. The thing that should have made Xu Anran feel disgusted, combined with the breath on Jiang Rongyan's body, gave her a different feeling.
She suddenly realized that the smell of cigarettes was not that bad. In fact, she even enjoyed it. Suddenly, a ringtone woke her up. She opened her eyes abruptly and pushed Jiang Rongyan away. She lowered her head to look at her phone.
The call was from Qi Yun. Xu Anran quickly picked it up. "Hello, Mr. Qi."
"Anran, are you okay? I saw that you hadn't come back for a long time, and I was afraid that something might have happened to you."
She quickly looked at the time and realized that it had already been half an hour since she came out. She put her client together with a stranger, and disappeared for half an hour. Xu Anran could not believe it. For now, Qi Yun was angry. How could they still talk about the hotel perfume project?
She quickly replied, "Sorry, I'll be back right away." After hanging up the phone, Xu Anran put down the phone and looked up at Jiang Rongyan. "Jiang Rongyan, can you stop being unreasonable?!" After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
However, Jiang Rongyan was obviously unwilling to let her leave just like that. He reached out and grabbed her hand. "Don't go, come back with me."
"Are you crazy? I told you, he's my client. I'm here to discuss business."
Jiang Rongyan looked at her. "Discuss business? He even sent flowers? Don't tell me he doesn't have any other thoughts about you.'
Xu Anran was speechless. She did not want to accept Qi Yun's confession, and she really did not want to go back. However, Qi Yun was a client after all. It was not good to keep him cold for so long.
"Send him a message. Say that you have something to do."
Xu Anran looked up at Jiang Rongyan, then turned her head to look at Qi Yun. Jiang Rongyan held her hand very tightly. She only had two choices now. Either she sent a message to Qi Yun, or she didn't send a message to Qi Yun. She sighed. What was going on day by day?! "Okay, I'll send it."
Xu Anran shook off Jiang Rongyan's hand and lowered her head to send a message to Qi Yun.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi. Something came up at home and I have to leave first. I'm really sorry."
After sending the message, Xu Anran saw that the other party had sent a "Okay." Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. She used her shoulder to push Jiang Rongyan away. "Are you satisfied now?"
Was Jiang Rongyan satisfied? He was very satisfied. He quietly followed Xu Anran out of the door. "Anran, I'm a little hung1Y. I'm going to the supermarket to buy some food. You can cook for me."
Xu Anran turned around and glanced at Jiang Rongyan. She didn't say anything and walked straight out.
Jiang Rongyan saw that she didn't refuse, so she probably agreed. He followed along with full of anticipation. As she walked, he realized that the direction wasn't quite right.
"Where are you taking me?"
Xu Anran was still angry. She turned around unhappily and put on a fake smile. She said coldly, "To a hotpot restaurant. I'm still angry. Why would I cook for you? You have no idea that you almost ruined my business with my client."
"A hotpot restaurant..." Jiang Rongyan took a deep breath. After the female protagonist stopped, she looked at the door sign Chongqing Hotpot.
It was the hottest one. Jiang Rongyan's face turned a little pale, but he was still trying to persuade himself that Xu Anran might like spicy food. Maybe she liked it?
The two of them walked in. Xu Anran walked to the counter with a cold face and said to the waiter, "I want the spicy pot, the hottest one. Thank you.'
Jiang Rongyan: ' She was just messing with him..

Chapter 73: Stomachache

Xu Anran knew that he never ate spicy food. He could not stand it at all, so she brought him here to eat the spiciest spicy pot.
Jiang Rongyan wanted to struggle for a while. It was not a bad idea to choose a mandarin duck pot. But when he saw Xu Anran's expression, he stopped himself.
Not long after he sat down, the waiter brought the oil pot up. The owner was an honest man. He was afraid that he would not be able to satisfy Xu Anran's appetite for spicy food, so he added more hotpot ingredients. A layer of oil floated over the soup, and the bottom of the pot was bright red.
Jiang Rongyan felt a slight pain in his stomach just by looking at it. He sat by the side and held his chopsticks. He felt even more of a headache as he watched Xu Anran put something into the pot.
Xu Anran ate by herself and did not bother with him.
"Help me pick up a dish," Jiang Rongyan said to Xu Anran.
Xu Anran glanced at her, then quickly retracted her gaze. She said coldly, "Don't you have hands?"
Jiang Rongyan:
After being rejected, Jiang Rongyan had no choice but to pick up the food himself. However, the food he picked up was wrapped in a layer of chili. Jiang Rongyan endured the discomfort and stuffed it into his mouth. In the end, after taking a few bites, he immediately felt as uncomfortable as if his stomach was on fire. The heat made him call the waiter and quickly take a bottle of milk and drank it.
After drinking the milk, he looked at Xu Anran aggrievedly. "Anran, why are you messing with
Xu Anran looked at him and said coldly, "You're really funny. Who would mess with you? I just wanted to eat spicy food, so I came to eat. If you don't want to eat, you can go back. I'm not stopping you. "
"But you didn't eat spicy food before."
Xu Anran put down her chopsticks and looked at him. She said very seriously, "Can't you tell? "It's not that I don't like spicy food. I just take care of you. Because I know you don't eat spicy food when I eat with you, so I don't eat either. I'm taking care of your emotions to accommodate you.'
After she said that, she picked up her chopsticks again, picked up a potato, and put it into her mouth. After eating, she said, "But I realized that I've done too much. I've taken care of your emotions and your feelings, but you've never considered my feelings. Since that's the case, [ won't accommodate you in the future." The chopsticks in her hands didn't stop, and she kept putting it into her mouth.
Jiang Rongyan had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and eat a few pieces of tofu reluctantly. But he ate too reluctantly. Before the third piece of tofu reached his mouth, Xu Anran stood up and said to him, "Mr. Jiang, take your time to eat. I'm leaving first.'
With that, she took two steps forward. When she was about to reach the door of the private room, she suddenly stopped and turned around to say to him, "By the way, we'll split the money.
I'll pay my share. I'll leave the rest to Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Rongyan wanted to chase after her, but when he was halfway through, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach. It was as if a big hand was pinching and rubbing his stomach, making it difficult for him to move even an inch. He could only hold the chair and slowly sit down, panting loudly. At this moment, the phone next to him rang. Jiang Rongyan picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhao Jing. He quickly picked it up.
"Boss, where are you?"
"The nearest Chongqing Hotpot restaurant," Jiang Rongyan said in a low voice, almost gnashing his teeth. "I'll send you the address. Come here quickly!"
"Chongqing Hotpot? I thought you can't eat spicy food?" Zhao Jing felt strange. Why did Jiang Rongyan suddenly go to the hotpot restaurant with his sister-in-law? Could it be that his personality had changed?
Jiang Rongyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "So, go buy the stomach medicine immediately and drive here to look for me!"

Chapter 74: A Failed Ploy
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There was no turning back! This involved a life! After Zhao Jing realized this problem, he quickly said to him, "Okay, I'll go right away." He didn't dare to delay for a moment. He rushed to the pharmacy, bought the stomach medicine, and rushed to the address Jiang Rongyan sent him.
When Zhao Jing arrived, Jiang Rongyan was already lying on the table in pain and couldn't stand up straight. He quickly went forward and gave the stomach medicine to Jiang Rongyan. Then, he gave him a cup of hot water. "Drink the water first and rest for a while."
He looked at the spicy pot in front of him and thought to himself, 'Sister-in-law is really ruthless. People who love spicy food might not be able to eat the food in this pot, let alone Jiang Rongyan who can't eat spicy food.'
Jiang Rongyan's face was pale. He could not move even after drinking the stomach medicine. He kept lying on the table with his head lowered and his eyes closed. He was wearing a suit. Because the collar was too painful, he grabbed it away. His left arm supported the table and supported his forehead, revealing the white skin of his neck. However, looking at Jiang Rongyan's expression, this kind of white skin could be seen as pale. It looked very pitiful.
Zhao Jing quickly took out his phone and took a photo before sending it to Xu Anran.
"Sister-in-law, look at him. He didn't even care about his own body just to accompany you to eat. Now, his stomach is hurting so much that he can't even stand up. Sister-in-law, he really cares about you. Come back and cook for him. He can only eat the food you cook."
After sending this message, Zhao Jing also sent a crying emoji.
"What are you doing?" After Jiang Rongyan took the stomach medicine, he finally felt less pain after a while. When he turned around, he found Zhao Jing staring at his phone with a wicked smile on his face. He was in so much pain that he was dying. Zhao Jing was still playing with his phone. Seeing this, Jiang Rongyan gritted his teeth and spoke coldly.
"Boss, I'm helping you." Zhao Jing took the phone in front of Jiang Rongyan. He said fearfully, "It's a trick. Sister-in-law cares about you so much, so she will definitely change her mind and put her heart on you. Boss, I'm helping you."
Jiang Rongyan saw his face on the phone. It was as pale as a zombie. Looking from the side, his lips were pale, and he was lying on the table, looking very haggard. Even he himself felt a sense of pity. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Jing with admiration. "Not bad, you deserve encouragement. '
Just as he was speaking, Xu Anran also sent a message. The first message was a public account of the hospital. Zhao Jing and Jiang Rongyan looked at each other, not knowing what Xu Anran meant. Then, the second message came. "Hotpot is something I want to eat. I didn't force him. If he's sick, he can go to the hospital himself. Also, tell Jiang Rongyan not to blackmail me!"
When Jiang Rongyan saw this message, he was so angry that he threw his phone out the window.
Zhao Jing wanted to cry, but no tears came out. "This is my phone, can you..." Before he could finish, he saw Jiang Rongyan's cold eyes and swallowed the second half of his words. "Forget it, forget it. The boss threw the phone well. Just remember to buy me a new one." He clapped his hands and stopped feeling sorry for the phone. He turned to look at Jiang Rongyan.
Jiang Rongyan was too miserable. He had already suffered to this extent, but his sister-in-law was indifferent. She even said that they should go to the doctor themselves. When he saw what she said, Jiang Rongyan's stomach did not hurt anymore. He stood up. Even though his back was drenched in sweat, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Go back!"
Zhao Jing did not dare to say anything. He turned around and followed Jiang Rongyan out the door. He did not even have time to look at his phone..

Chapter 75: You Help Me Plead With Him
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Xu Anran got rid of Jiang Rongyan, she remembered that she had gone to look for Qi Yun the last time and knew the address of Qi Yun's house. Without thinking, she turned around and went to Qi Yun's house.
Qi Yun's house was in a villa area. The villa area was empty and there were not many people. Xu Anran walked around inside and found the place she had been to the last time. Just as she was about to enter, she saw a familiar figure. It was Qin Xiaokun.
Qin Xiaokun clearly saw her too. There was a hint of surprise on his face, but at the same time, he was a little embarrassed. She didn't know why Qin Xiaokun was here, but no matter why he was here, Xu Anran didn't want to talk to him. She walked towards Qi Yun's villa. But Qin Xiaokun was obviously unwilling to let her go.
When Qin Xiaokun saw that she was about to leave, he immediately came to stop her. "Anran, it's great that you're here. Help me with something."
Xu Anran shook off Qin Xiaokun's hand. "Aren't you the famous Young Master Qin? What's wrong? What crisis did Young Master Qin encounter? You actually want me to help you?" Her expression was full of disdain.
Qin Xiaokun could see her unwillingness, but now, to Qin Xiaokun, only Xu Anran could help him. "Actually, it's like this." Qin Xiaokun said, "Qi Yun has a hotel, and the hotel's perfume has always been provided by the Qin family. But since I took over, the quality of the perfume has dropped a lot, and Qi Yun said he doesn't want to work with us anymore. I really have no choice, so I came to Qi Yun, hoping to salvage the cooperation."
"What did you say? Their family's previous partners were you guys?"
" "Yes.
Xu Anran sneered. It was really a narrow road for enemies. What a coincidence. What she wanted to do next was this hotel project.
"Wait, something's wrong!" Xu Anran tilted her head and looked at Qin Xiaokun. "Didn't you see Qi Yun last time? Since he's your partner, how dare you argue with him?"
"Who are you talking about?" Qin Xiaokun didn't understand.
"Who?" Xu Anran sneered coldly. "Qin Xiaokun, what have you been doing all this time? Aren't you being too careless? In this situation, you still don't know what your partner looks like? Don't you think you're being a little too ridiculous?"
Qin Xiaokun gritted his teeth. His ability wasn't very good, but he didn't like it to be said. His expression turned ugly. "Can't you speak more clearly? Who is Qi Yun? How did I offend him?"
Ever since he found out that Qi Yun had contacted the company of the female lead, Qin Xiaokun had always wanted to meet Qi Yun. However, he could not contact him after contacting him several times. Hence, he ran to Qi Yun's place.
"Do you remember coming here?"
Qin Xiaokun nodded. "Yes, I do. It was the last time I came to see a wedding room with Xu
Anning." After he said that, he suddenly realized something. He pointed at Xu Anran and said,
"No way, right? Are you jealous because of me and Anning going to see a wedding room?"
Xu Anran rolled her eyes. "Jealous? Fortunately, I'm not with you. Thank god. Otherwise, I would be unlucky for eight lifetimes. But don't you remember this place? Don't you remember the man who walked out of this villa? Since you don't remember, then I'll tell you. He's Qi Yun."
Qin Xiaokun remembered. "You mean, the man who provoked me when Anning and I were looking at the wedding room last time?"
Xu Anran nodded meaningfully. "You finally remembered. That's right, he's your father. You'd better think about how to beg Father A to forgive you," she said. She pushed the door open and was about to enter.
Qin Xiaokun quickly pulled her back. "I remember that you have a good relationship with him. Help me plead with him and ask him to renew my contract."
"Qin Xiaokun, as long as the Great Wall is as thick-skinned as you, even if hundreds of enemies come, they wouldn't be able to get past." Xu Anran once again shook off his hand. "Get lost!".
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Chapter 76: You All Deserve It!

Qin Xiaokun did not leave. He still held Xu Anran's hand. "Anran, since we used to have such a good relationship, please help me. Our Qin family cannot lose this contract. Without Qi Yun, our funds will not be able to turn over!"
Seeing that she could not shake Qin Xiaokun off, Xu Anran had no choice but to kick him in the knee. Qin Xiaokun felt the pain and took a few steps back.
Xu Anran walked towards Qin Xiaokun step by step. "Qin Xiaokun, you're really vicious and shameless! Since you know that the new partner Qi Yun found is our company, you should know that I'm here to discuss a partnership with Qi Yun. Since that's the case, why should I give it to you? Moreover, you and the Xu Corporation are so close. If you can't make any money, why don't you look for the Xu Corporation? Aren't you guys engaged?" Her expression was full of mockery.
It seemed like Xu Anran didn't know. Qin Xiaokun was angry when she mentioned this. He looked at Xu Anran. "It's all because of you!"
"Because of me? What did I do?"
Qin Xiaokun stood up straight. He looked at Xu Anran. "I really don't understand. As your sister, what's wrong with letting Anning have her way? In the end, you insisted on saying at the birthday banquet that Anning was the one who stole me away first. Now, the media knows that Anning is a mistress. I ran away from the marriage for Anning, causing the Qin and Xu families' stock prices to plummet.'
Although she was facing criticism, the more Xu Anran heard, the happier she felt. She wanted to clap her hands and cheer. "Wow, such a good thing actually happened? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"You!" Qin Xiaokun was furious. "You are really calculative! Now that the Qin and Xu families have become like this, what benefits do you have?"
"Watching you suffer is the greatest benefit for me. I advise you to go to the Xu family. I can't help you beg Qi Yun. No matter what, Qi Yun is still a friend of mine. I'm really worried about handing over his company's business to you." Xu Anran was in a good mood. She got up and walked towards the villa. The nanny knew that Qi Yun had sent her off, so she did not stop her and let her in.
Qin Xiaokun wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in, but the nanny stopped him outside the door.
"I'm with her," he whispered.
However, Xu Anran did not even take a few steps. How could she not hear him? She turned around and smiled at the nanny. "I'm sorry, I don't recognize him." After saying that, she gave Qin Xiaokun a mocking smile and did not look back.
As expected, Qin Xiaokun was kicked out. He had no choice but to go to the Xu family. Xu Anning was deeply involved in the affair and was in a bad mood. She was taken abroad by Xu Zhenwei and Liu Li to relax. Qin Xiaokun missed her.
"Then do you know when they will be back?"
The nanny who stopped him at the door heard this and shook her head. "Young Master Qin, I don't know anything about Sir and the others. Why don't you give them a call and ask them yourself?"
Qin Xiaokun looked into the room unwillingly. The room was quiet, and it didn't seem like there was anyone there. He could only nod. "Alright, I'll give them a call." Qin Xiaokun turned around and gave Xu Anning a call. The phone rang, but no one answered. He was anxious. He called three or four more times, but the result was the same.
It wasn't until the next day that Xu Anning called him back. Seeing that it was Xu Anning calling Qin Xiaokun's hope was reignited. He quickly picked up. "Anning, how have you been these past few days?"
"Not too good. Xiaokun, what's the matter?"
Qin Xiaokun told Xu Anning about this problem. There was a moment of silence on the other end, then he said, "I'm sorry. You know that our Xu Corporation's stock price is also falling. Our company's capital can barely support the Xu Corporation. It's really not enough to support you. We really can't lend you the money."
"Anning, trust me. I'll return it to you immediately... Hello? Can you hear me?"
"Did you say something?"
"Can you hear me?" Just as Qin Xiaokun finished speaking, the other party hung up. Qin Xiaoku]
The next morning, at the board meeting.
"Qin Xiaokun, take a look for yourself. What exactly did you do?!"

Chapter 77: Qin Xiaokun Was Fired
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qin Xiaokun knew that he had not found a project or solved the company's funding problem, and he was going to be blamed by the company's shareholders. However, he did not expect that the company's shareholders would be so ruthless. "If you can't solve the problem, you might as well quit!"
"Qin Xiaokun, think about it. Since you became the president, how many contracts have the company lost? We have to make money. This isn't a school, so we won't give you time to grow." Another shareholder stood up. He said earnestly, "Xiao Kun, why don't you give the position to Xiao Ming?"
Qin Xiaokun could bear the criticism, but he definitely couldn't bear to give the position of CEO to an illegitimate child. He turned around in disbelief. "Are you guys crazy? He's an illegitimate child."
"Of course. I'm just suggesting that we listen to the CEO's decision."
Qin Xiaokun turned his gaze to his father. "Dad, do you think this is reasonable? Qin Xiaoming is an illegitimate son. What right does he have to sit in this position?"
His father looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Kun, do you know how much damage you've caused the company?"
"No matter how much damage I've caused, there's always a way to solve it."
"Haven't I given you enough time?" Qin Fu looked at him. "From the time of the accident until now, how many opportunities have I given you? But have you treasured them?"
"What about him? If I'm not qualified, then he's qualified?"
Father Qin Fu glanced at him and sighed softly, not saying a word.
Another old man who looked at him kindly stood up and said to him, "Xiao Kun, your father didn't have the heart to tell you. Actually, Xiao Ming has already found a project. He can temporarily solve our funding problem."
"I think you guys are too indulgent with him. He has already been in the position for so long, but he is still so useless. We don't expect him to fight for a new project, but he can't even hold onto the previous project. If it was us, we would have been scolded to death by then. How can we let him quibble?"
Father Qin heard this and turned to look at him. "Xiao Kun, your ability really can't take up this position. The president position, we will let Xiao Ming sit on it first. After your ability is cultivated, this position will naturally still be yours."
Who would believe such words? Naturally, Qin Xiaokun didn't believe it either. He begged Father
Qin, "Dad, give me another chance. A little time is fine too. I'll go look for a project right away."
Seeing Qin Xiaokun's performance, Father Qin's gaze turned cold. His tone was serious. "Xiao Kun, don't let others see a joke."
When Qin Xiaokun heard this tone, he knew that his father was angry. He didn't dare to say anything else. He could only clench his teeth and hand over the position of president.
At the end of this meeting, no one paid any attention to Qin Xiaokun. It was as if he didn't exist. When there were important decisions, no one asked for his opinion. He held it in until the end of the meeting. He couldn't hold it in any longer and turned around to leave the meeting room.
The news of the change of president of the Qin Corporation was spread everywhere. Xu Anning, who was abroad, found out the next day. She was so angry that she was about to ask Qin Xiaokun what was going on when Xu Zhenwei snatched her phone away.
She turned around and looked at Xu Zhenwei. "Dad, what are you doing? I'm going to give Xiao Kun a call.'
"In this situation, is there still a need to make a call? He's no longer the CEO. It's meaningless for you to be with him." Xu Zhenwei's expression was serious and unquestionable.
"Then what do you want me to do? I'm already engaged to him." Xu Anning stretched out her hand, wanting to take the phone over.
"Then cancel the engagement with him and get a new fiancé!".

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"You guys are engaged, not married. There are still divorces after marriage. What's the big deal about being engaged?" Xu Zhenwei pulled her arm. With a calm expression, he advised Xu Anning with a shrewd look.
Hearing this, Xu Anning gradually calmed down. What her father said was not unreasonable. Qin Xiaokun was no longer the president of the Qin Corporation, and Qin Xiaokun, who was not the president of the Qin Corporation, did not have any advantages. Being with him would not help the Xu Corporation to soar to the sky. Instead, perhaps she would be laughed at by others. She did not want to be wronged.
However, she had chased after Qin Xiaokun for so long and had schemed to get him. Now that she finally had Qin Xiaokun, she was reluctant to give up all of a sudden.
Xu Zhenwei knew that she was reluctant to give up. He took out his phone. He took out a few photos and handed them to her. "Take a look for yourself. Qin Xiaokun is a playboy. He doesn't only like you. It's not worth it for you to marry for this kind of man."
The photo he took out was of Qin Xiaokun holding Xu Anran's hand. The two of them were acting flirtatiously as if they were trying to salvage something. Judging from their attire, it should have been taken recently. Recently, Qin Xiaokun had actually been in contact with Xu Anran. Moreover, the two of them were very close, just like a couple.
Xu Anning clenched her fists. When did they get in touch? When she snatched Qin Xiaokun away, that woman, Xu Anran, was also snatching Qin Xiaokun away? She smiled coldly. Since that was the case, then she would give him to her. She just didn't know how Xu Anran would feel when she saw Qin Xiaokun, who had already been abandoned, being snatched away.
"Do you understand?" Xu Zhenwei asked her.
Xu Anning nodded and said in a low voice, "I understand."
[Sister!]
[Sister, are you there?!]
[Did you see the news?]
Xu Anran had just finished dealing with the company's matters and said that she needed to rest. As soon as she picked up her phone, she saw these few messages. In the message box, there was also a call from Tao Ran. It was probably because she did not pick up the call, so she sent her a message. She had been very busy these few days. She had not seen the news at all, and she did not know what had happened. Therefore, she pressed the call-back button and called her.
"What news?"
"So you don't know!" Tao Ran was surprised. "It's about the Qin Corporation."
"What's wrong with the Qin Corporation? What do they know?" Hearing Tao Ran's excitement, Xu Anran was also a little excited.
"It's about Qin Xiaokun. The Qin Corporation has changed its CEO. The news has already been published. Qin Xiaokun has been replaced by Qin Xiaoming."
"Really? That Qin Xiaokun is going to die of anger." Xu Anran was really happy. They had actually replaced Qin Xiaokun! Xu Anran smiled. This was the happiest thing that had happened to her since her rebirth.
"Sister, it's such a happy occasion. Aren't you going to celebrate with me?"
"Now?" she asked.
"Of course. What else do you want to wait for?" Tao Ran was very excited. "Let's go celebrate Qin Xiaokun's retirement.'
Xu Anran thought about it. It had been a long time since she had gone out with Tao Ran. "Where are we going?"
"To the bar, of course!" Tao Ran cheered.
"Okay, wait for me." Xu Anran turned around and went into the house. She changed into a new set of clothes. Just as she walked to the door, she saw a message from Jiang Rongyan.
"Where are you?" Since the last time she threw Jiang Rongyan into the hot pot restaurant, the relationship between the two of them had eased up a little. At least when she saw the message from Jiang Rongyan, Xu Anran would not reject it so much.
"I'm at home, but I'm going out to celebrate Qin Xiaokun's downfall." After saying that, she searched for the location of the bar and sent it to Jiang Rongyan. "Do you want to come?".

Chapter 79: Wanted To Get Jiang Rongyan Drunk
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Rongyan's message was sent very quickly. He sent a string of ellipses, indicating that he was speechless. "You actually still dare to go? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" On the other side, Jiang Rongyan was a little speechless. Xu Anran really did not know fear.
Did she forget how miserable she was when she went to the bar last time? Now that she had recovered, she had forgotten about the pain. She had cried so miserably back then, but now she had completely forgotten about it.
"You can decide yourself!" Xu Anran was very angry. She lowered her head and typed, "It's good that you're not coming. I'll have more fun by myself."
When Jiang Rongyan saw the message from Xu Anran, he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Very good. Xu Anran knew how to make him angry to death!
"Whatever. If you want to go, go!" Jiang Rongyan put his phone down on the table in anger. He did not want to care about Xu Anran, nor did he want to care about where the other party was going. However, less than five minutes later, Jiang Rongyan picked up his phone again. He saw the last message he sent, but the other party never replied.
"Xu Anran, you're really something. Now you don't even reply to my messages." He was a little angry. He wanted to put his phone down, but at the same time, he thought uneasily, 'What if something happened? What if he was set up like last time?' Then, he shook his head. "Don't care. She doesn't want you to care about her anyway. If you go, she might scold you for being a busybody."
He said yes and put down his phone again. However, two minutes later, he got up and rushed out with his phone. "Xu Anran, I'll be angered to death by you sooner or later!" Jiang Rongyan gritted his teeth and headed to the bar.
In the bar, neon lights were flashing. The dazzling lights shone in all directions through the wine glass, turning the entire bar into a light show.
Jiang Rongyan walked in and accurately found Xu Anran standing in front of the bar. Xu Anran drank a little and was a little tipsy. When she saw him, the anger from before had made her a lot bolder. She reached out to hold Jiang Rongyan's shoulder and picked up the wine glass beside her. "Jiang Rongyan, you're late. Punish yourself with three glasses of wine first."
"I didn't say I was coming."
Xu Anran took a step back and pointed at him. "Just tell me if you want to drink or not. Don't be a wimp, okay? You're my husband after all. If you don't drink, how will my friends look at me?
Isn't that right, Tao Ran?"
Tao Ran covered her eyes.
'Don't cue me. I don't dare to say anything about him!'
"Okay, I'll drink."
Xu Anran was very relieved. She also picked up the cup. "Okay, cheers!"
Seeing that Jiang Rongyan had only drunk a little, she hurriedly said, "No, finish it. How can you not finish three glasses as a punishment?"
Jiang Rongyan could only raise his head and drink three glasses.
Xu Anran saw that he had drunk all three glasses, so she raised her hand and took a small sip of the wine in her hand. After she finished drinking, she poured another glass for Jiang Rongyan. "Also, you made me angry before, so you have to drink this too."
"...That's because..."
"Don't worry about what it is. Tell me yourself, did you make me angry?" Xu Anran interrupted him.
Jiang Rongyan took a deep breath. "Yes."
"Okay, then finish this glass. Take it as an apology to me." Xu Anran pointed at the glass in his hand. "Finish it, and I'll let it go."
Jiang Rongyan looked at the cup in his hand and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Xu Anran was trying to get him drunk. He remained silent and raised his head to drink the wine.
Xu Anran found a few more reasons to let Jiang Rongyan drink a few more cups. "Come, drink!" With the last sip, the cup in Xu Anran's hand was bottomless. She was drunk.
Jiang Rongyan put down the cup and let her lean against his body. He looked at her helplessly. "I forgot to say, since school, I have the title not being drunk even with a thousand cups. ".

Chapter 80: Xu Anran Took the Initiative To Kiss Him
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tao Ran watched the whole process from the side. She watched helplessly as Xu Anran got herself drunk. In the end, she gradually turned from standing to falling into Jiang Rongyan's arms.
"Drink slowly. I'll take her away first."
Tao Ran did not dare to say anything. She hurriedly nodded. "This way please. Be careful on the road. Be careful."
Jiang Rongyan helped Xu Anran out and placed her in the car. He said to the driver, "Go back."
Xu Anran was so drunk that her mind was heavy. She did not know what she was doing, but she knew that the person in front of her was Jiang Rongyan. "Didn't you say that you wouldn't come?"
"I was afraid that you would be taken away like last time," Jiang Rongyan said unhappily.
"I didn't expect you to help me."
The car slowly stopped. Jiang Rongyan opened the car door and helped Xu Anran into the house. Just as they reached the living room door, the phone that Xu Anning had been holding in her hand lit up.
From Jiang Rongyan's direction, he could see the message pop up. He could also clearly see the content of the message. [Anran, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I was wrong in the past. You're still the best.] The person who sent the message was Qin Xiaokun.
Jiang Rongyan suddenly had a feeling that he had been deceived. This woman came back and accused him of being flirtatious. She was ambiguous with Qi Yun in the company, and she even had to cut ties with her ex-boyfriend. She was really a master of time management. She was very busy. He turned around and pressed Xu Anran on the dining table. His voice was low. "Xu Anran, have you ever really liked me? Or am I a fish in your pond? When no one is with you, you come to me, and when someone is with you, you kick me away?"
Xu Anran was dizzy. She heard the voice, but she felt like she was locked in a glass door. The voice came from outside the glass door. It was very unreal.
"Huh?" Jiang Rongyan turned her face over. "Speak."
Xu Anran finally met Jiang Rongyan's eyes and digested his words in her mind. She calmly said,
"Actually, I liked your appearance when we first met. It's the first time I've met someone who fits my taste so well, but after spending a long time together, I feel that your temper is too bad. I don't like it, I don't like it," Xu Anran said as she waved her hand. She even made a disgusted expression to strengthen the content of what she said.
When he saw her face glance to the side again, Jiang Rongyan pinched her face and turned around. "So your liking for me only lasts until you discover that I have a bad temper? Isn't your praise too short and shallow?"
"Isn't that how relationships work? What do I like about you if I don't like your looks? Do I like that you have money or power? All you have left is your face!"
When Jiang Rongyan heard these words, he was so angry that he could not help but raise his right hand and touch her neck. Xu Anran's neck was fair and her skin was as delicate as a child's. It was as if he could pinch it with a light pinch and it would turn blood red. Jiang Rongyan's eyes were filled with anger. He could not help but press down on her neck and pinch it hard.
Xu Anran felt the force on her neck and raised her eyes to smile at him. Not only was she not afraid, she even raised her hand to hook around his neck and kissed him on her own accord.
Jiang Rongyan's hand instantly loosened. He gently lifted the back of her neck. Even though he knew that Xu Anran did not know what she was doing at the moment, and he could not really kiss her... He also knew that she was a playgirl. He should quickly push her away so that he would not sink deeper into her.
However... Jiang Rongyan could not help but be attracted to her. He was unwilling to let go of the softness at this moment. He pressed the back of her neck against him. He turned from defending to attacking and pressed her against the table behind him. He leaned over and used his tongue to open her lips and entwine with her tongue..
