CHAPTER 295: CHAPTER 295: RIDICULOUS YET PITIABLE

"Xiaoze, don’t talk to your uncle like that..." Mu Yiliang helplessly said.

"Oh, sorry, uncle." Xiaoze apologized quickly, "Exaggerated by eight lifetimes, but this lifetime you won’t get it."

Mu Yiliang’s mouth twitched.

Qiao Yebai glared at the kid: "I’d like to see... Enough! Little rascal, come with me, let your mom rest!"

Saying this, he picked up Xiaoze.

Xiaoze struggled hard: "Ah ah ah I don’t want to sleep with you!"

"Wishful thinking! I didn’t plan on sleeping with you anyway! I’m taking you to your room!"

"... Hmph!"

*******

Yan Mansion.

Since agreeing with the Old Man to announce his resignation from the role of CEO of FIS at the engagement ceremony, Yan Sijue rarely went to the company. It seemed like he was busy with the engagement, and the Old Man was pleased, so he simply brought Yan Yaohao to oversee FIS and began gradually taking over the company’s affairs.

When Yan Sijue learned about it, he only sneered mildly and showed no reaction.

Knowing that most of the Yan Family’s underground forces were under his control, the Old Man’s next target was probably these organizations, right?

But, for now, the Old Man probably couldn’t even handle FIS.

Although the Old Man refused to admit defeat to age, his experience and skills were no longer applicable today.

Yet he stubbornly believed that anything he undertook couldn’t fail.

Truly both ridiculous and pitiful.

Yan Sijue curled his lips, his smile appearing extremely cold.

Yang Ru, who was reporting something to him, instinctively swallowed.

Experience told him that whenever the boss smiled like this, it meant someone was going to be unlucky.

"President Yan, you were right." He quickly continued reporting, "In recent days, Miss Chen’s residence has faced at least three assassination attempts. Just last night there was one, and it alarmed Miss Chen."

Yan Sijue asked casually, "Was she hurt?"

"No, but Miss Chen was very frightened." Yang Ru added after finishing, "And she wants to see you."

Yan Sijue chuckled lightly, "In that case, I should pay a visit."

"Yes." Yang Ru responded immediately.

As expected, Chen Yayan still looked quite shaken.

Seeing Yan Sijue, she immediately sobbed and threw herself over: "Sijue, you finally came! I was so scared! Almost... I wouldn’t have been able to see you!"

Yan Sijue quietly pushed her away slightly, holding her arm: "Good that you weren’t hurt!"

"But..." Chen Yayan cried pitifully, "At that moment, the bullet almost hit me!"

"I’m sorry." Yan Sijue sighed softly, "But, what can I do? You’re my woman, and you saved me. To my enemies, getting rid of you is like eliminating one of my talismans."

Upon hearing this, a trace of fear flashed across Chen Yayan’s face...

Doesn’t this mean that once she becomes his wife, she’ll forever face such threats!?

"Scared?" Yan Sijue gently stroked her hair, "If you’re unwilling to marry me because of this, I’d understand."

"No!" Chen Yayan immediately smiled flatteringly, "Sijue, you’ll protect me, right?"

"Of course I’ll do my best to protect you. But, people are bound to have oversights. Last time, if it weren’t for you, I’d probably be dead by now." Yan Sijue said indifferently.
