Hearing what Jing Yiran said, Shangguan Ning stiffened. She stopped in her steps.
She turned around and asked in astonishment, “What did you say?”
Seeing that Shangguan Ning finally responded to his words, Jing Yiran’s mood suddenly improved. It seemed that the wound on his face wasn’t that painful any more.
He whistled proudly and his amorous eyes twinkled. “Your husband’s property has shrunk to half of its size, and he will soon become a total hobo! So, would you consider remarrying? I won’t mind a second-hand woman!”
Shangguan Ning looked at Jing Yiran’s proud face and then at Jing Yichen’s pale one. He was holding her hand tightly enough to crush it.
Was he furious? Or was he… scared of losing her?
Her hand hurt, but Shangguan Ning’s heart ached more – for Jing Yichen.
He had a weak sense of security compared to her, and he loved her deeply.
Shangguan Ning’s expressions turned calm, then she said lightly. “But I reject you for being hundred-handed!”
Having said the words, she refused to look at Jing Yiran any further. She softly to Jing Yichen, “My dear husband, can we leave? I want to go home with you!”
Jing Yichen looked calmly at Shangguan Ning and swept her into his arms. Then he scooped her up and strode out of the villa confidently.
The servants dashed off in all directions with their heads lowered at the sight of the couple. They were afraid that if they took a step slower, they would have been killed by the Elder Master’s look.
Shangguan Ning had never expected that Jing Yichen would carry her out. Her jade-like face flushed, and then she said in a soft whisper as she looped her arms around his neck. “This is not proper…”
What face would she have if they were seen by the servants!
“But it makes me happy. I can’t feel assured until you are in my arms. Be good and don’t move. Let me carry you in this way, all the way to the end of our lives.”
Jing Yichen’s voice was calm and didn’t show any emotion. But Shangguan Ning could clearly feel his seriousness and deep love when she was leaning against him.
Happiness gushed out of Shangguan Ning’s heart. She felt as if she were drunk. She could feel his strong heartbeat and felt that she was a woman who owned the entire world.
Seeing a smile hovering over her face, Jing Yichen said softly, “You enjoy being carried like this?”
Shangguan Ning didn’t expect that she was this transparent, so she shook her head in panic but soon nodded bashfully.
She wasn’t a woman who was good at lying or hiding. She always said what she wanted to, especially when she was with Jing Yichen. She would always want to tell him her true thoughts and feelings, even if those were words made her flush.
Love needed to be expressed.
Seeing the little woman in his arms, nodding, Jing Yichen finally smiled as well.
Jing Yiran could take whatever he wanted. What he needed to do was to deal with him with all his might and crush Jing Yiran completely.
But he was not allowed to touch Shangguan Ning, not at all!
If Jing Yiran dared to have any ideas about Shangguan Ning, he was definitely not going to take his father Jing Zhongxiu’s words into consideration and would make him lose all he had, including his life!
No one was allowed to touch Shangguan Ning. She was his woman, and even if she didn’t love him, he wouldn’t allow her to marry anyone else. But she did love him and that too, deeply!
Jing Yichen was a bossy man. Money could be earned if lost, power could be cultivated if lost, but this woman was the only he liked!
The following day, Shangguan Ning caught sight of Jing Yiran in her office. He was dressed in a coffee-color suit and was wearing an overpowering fragrance.
Sitting on her usual chair, he placed his long legs upon her desk as he flipped through the deck of materials which she had sorted.
On the corner of the desk stood a large bunch of eye-attracting blue roses. Apparently, those had been brought to the desk by Jing Yiran.
Shangguan Ning came to the desk and threw those roses into the dustbin. Then she said calmly, “Get out! This is my office. You are the Second Master of Family Jing and you would be laughed at, if people hear you taking an assistant’s office!”
“As long as I can get the beauty, I would be happy to be laughed at! So, I will be working here from today on, and you will be my assistant!” Jing Yiran didn’t care about Shangguan Ning’s cold attitude. Nor was he pissed that she had thrown the flowers into the dustbin.
She was the only person in the entire world who dared to throw his flowers into the dustbin in front of his face!
Hot personality! And he liked it!
Where did Jing Yichen get this woman from? Why was she so different from others that he had such strong itch to get her?
Jing Yiran flipped through the material which Shangguan Ning had sorted as he massaged his exquisite chin. “I thought that you were just an eye candy, but it seems that you do have some knowledge. That is exactly what I lack, so, you can be my knowledge!”
Shangguan Ning sneered and said in an uncourteous manner, “Sorry, I won’t be the assistant to a scumbag. And you have no right to give me any order. Get out of my office, now!”
“Why don’t I have the right to give you an order? I am powerful enough to get a tiny assistant. If you don’t want to be my assistant, then I can fire you rightaway, you know.”
Shangguan Ning had no idea why Jing Yiran suddenly received half of the inheritance and properties of Jingsheng Enterprise.
It seemed that Jing Yichen’s huge row with Jing Zhongxiu had originated from this matter.
She had asked Jing Yichen what was going on. But he said nothing except for a calm sentence. “Jing Yiran will not be able to get even a penny from Jingsheng Enterprise!”
But Jing Yiran came to work at Jingsheng today, which made Shangguan Ning very worried. She hated him but felt it much more today so she didn’t bother being polite with him.
“You can fire me you want. You are powerful enough to fight only with me, a mere assistant. So incapable!”
Jing Yiran’s face froze. He was about to say something when a serious sounding voice spoke from the door. “Second Master, Assistant Shangguan is the President’s assistant. I am your assistant!”
Although Jing Yiran hadn’t been to the office building of Jingsheng Enterprise, yet this man had been Jing Zhongxiu’s assistant earlier so he met him several times at home.
He again showed a sinister smile and said carelessly, “Assistant Lu, I don’t need an old man to be my assistant. I only want a pretty girl, someone just like Ms. Shangguan!”
