As Ji Liunian spoke, she saw the lines of Ling Yichuan’s cold, hard jaw were pulled taut as his countenance turned grim. There were still some things she wanted to say, but she held her tongue back!

This domineering and arrogant man did not play by the rules. She had never thought of getting involved with him, let alone angering him. If she was unlucky—she would have to call him “cousin” when they met again!

She did not dare to say anything else. She only hoped that he would forget about her quickly and stop pestering her. She was trapped in such a confined space and unable to escape. If this man caused any more trouble, it would be over!

She immediately took a step back. “Mr. Ling, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first!”

She ignored him and quickly turned around to press the elevator button. She made the elevator stop on the nearest first floor and ran to the safety ladder to climb up by herself.

As soon as she went upstairs, Ling Yichuan—still in the elevator—touched his chin and suddenly smiled coldly. Fine! That’s even more interesting! Those women who were too submissive and biddable were boring; he got tired of them after a while. As for women who schemed every step of the way to get close to him, they made him rather apprehensive.

It was precisely this kind of spunky woman who had her own mind that brought out the desire in men to conquer her! She did not like him? No worries! He enjoyed the feeling of seeing such a reluctant woman pinned under him in bed in the end—it must be very sexy!

Lian Sihan was still waiting in the hall on the first floor. When he saw Ling Yichuan walking down alone, he was surprised. “Mr. Ling…”

“Sihan, let’s go.” Ling Yichuan raised his chin slightly, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable emotion.

“Mr. Ling, she…” Lian Sihan was puzzled. He thought for a moment and asked, “Do we still need to keep an eye on the place where she lives?”

“Just let two people look in on her occasionally.” Ling Yichuan thought of something and suddenly asked, “I heard that she’s currently auditing this year’s accounts?”

Lian Sihan nodded. “Yes. After you complimented her that day, she was promoted the next day. However, I heard that the person you criticized—Gao Youyi—seemed to have something against her and is secretly trying to stitch her up. The target is the annual accounts she is auditing.”

“Very well.” Ling Yichuan’s right thumb and index finger gently turned the pinky ring on his left hand. “They’re so hardworking. As the boss, I can’t stay out of it. I’ll help them! As for Xinghua Corporation, do this when the time comes…”

As Ling Yichuan walked out of the lobby, his lips curled into an eerie smile.

It did not matter if she was unwilling. When the time came, she would be forced to submit to him!

Ji Liunian had no idea that someone was plotting against her behind her back.

However—as soon as she sent Ling Yichuan away—someone immediately came to look for her.

This time, it was about the Yu family.
