Marriage is long and desires are strong

Jiang Wei touched the property certificate; it was time to end things, to end things with the Jiang family.

She checked the time; it was time to leave for her appointment with Qin Xiaoye. She would confirm the household registration transfer time with the Jiang family later.

She said goodbye to Yu Ge and Xie Xun, and drove to the headquarters of Qin Group.

She walked through the door, holding the design materials for the pet AI intelligent interactive product, and went to the front desk.

Several people surrounded the receptionist: "Please let me see General Manager Xiang, just for five minutes."

Receptionist Xu Feng said helplessly, "He's not on the visitor list, so I can't let you see him. I'm just a lowly receptionist, please don't make things difficult for me."

Xu Feng's eyes pierced through the crowd, and his gaze widened the moment he saw Jiang Wei: "Miss Jiang, are you looking for President Qin?"

Jiang Wei walked over from behind, politely asking, "Um, is this a convenient time for you, Mr. Qin?"

Xu Feng had stopped Jiang Wei before, assuming she was an admirer of President Qin. But when she saw Qin Xiaoye escorting Jiang Wei to the elevator and even pressing the button for her, she was utterly astonished!

Perhaps Mr. Qin is an admirer of Jiang Wei; who would dare to stop him?

This Miss Jiang is indeed beautiful, both innocent and alluring, and exudes an air of nobility.

Xu Feng quickly replied, "Of course, please wait a moment."

Someone complained, "Hey, we were here first."

Xu Feng smiled politely: "I'm sorry, but these are Mr. Qin's distinguished guests. Please wait a moment."

Several people looked at Jiang Wei, their gazes immediately changing to one of admiration and envy. They bowed and scraped, saying, "Sorry, sorry, please go first."

"Please put in a good word for Mr. Qin. I work in the chip industry, I'm Xiao Fu."

"I am Xiao Tang."

Jiang Wei quickly clarified, "I'm not familiar with President Qin."

Xu Feng called the president's office directly: "President Xiang, Miss Jiang has arrived."

"Yes, yes, okay."

Xu Feng hung up the phone and said to Jiang Wei, "Ms. Jiang, please take the elevator that leads to the president's office, the one you took last time."

Jiang Wei: "Okay."

As she walked forward, she felt that many people were looking at her.

It seems best to keep your distance from Qin Xiaoye, as his every move is being speculated on and watched.

Her secret marriage to Qin Xiaoye was not something she wanted others to know.

After all, they'll get divorced in two years.

She stepped into the elevator.

I remember the last time we were in the elevator, vying with Qin Xiaoye to press the button, our fingers brushing against each other, Qin Xiaoye's scent lingering in the small space.

The elevator doors opened, and we arrived at the top floor.

Jiang Wei stepped out of the elevator and walked forward along the dark blue floor tiles that reflected her image.

A man brushed past her.

The man's footsteps suddenly stopped, he turned around, and called out, "Hey!"

Jiang Wei turned her head in surprise.

The clean, transparent dark blue floor tiles reflected the silhouettes of two people.

The man was strikingly handsome, with curly hair, deep brown eyes, and a tall, slender figure. He wore a gray striped shirt with two buttons undone, exuding a carefree and unrestrained air, and carrying a dangerous and unruly aura.

His gaze fell on Jiang Wei, scrutinizing her from head to toe, and he spoke, his voice lingering: "I really like your looks. How about I take care of you?"

Jiang Wei: "Huh? You're crazy..."

She turned to leave.

The man took two steps closer to her, very close: "My name is Lu Ji. I'm not kidding, think about it."

Jiang Wei looked up and smiled: "I'm the best at cutting eggs. If you need help, I can help. As for the fee... just charge me according to how many eggs you cut."

Lu Ji was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "I like it even more now. What's your name?"

The door to Qin Xiaoye's office creaked open, and he walked out, dressed in a black shirt, exuding composure and nobility. He slowly walked to Jiang Wei and pulled her behind him.

He looked up and stared directly at Lu Ji: "Lu Ji, if you want to cut my eggs, I'll find you another veterinarian. Don't harass my wife."

Jiang Wei was completely shielded behind Qin Xiaoye. When she heard the word "wife," she was slightly taken aback, remembering the "Mrs. Qin" he had mentioned in his message earlier that day.

Only now do I begin to truly feel the reality of getting married.

Wife, Madam Qin.

Was it not an arranged marriage, but a secret marriage? They just said it like that?

Lu Ji was taken aback when he heard the word "wife": "You're married?"

Qin Xiaoye said calmly, "It's obvious."

"As for you, you're not young anymore, it's time to settle down and start a family. Stop wasting your life playing around."

Qin Xiaoye spoke in the tone of an elder lecturing a younger person.

Lu Ji was speechless: "You're only two years older than me."

It's just a wedding, why does it feel like I've been promoted to a higher generation?

Qin Xiaoye's tone was threatening: "Business is business, but if you lay a finger on her, I'll blow up your Lu family's headquarters."

"Watch your behavior and stay away from her."

Lu Ji chuckled and raised his hand, his voice laced with a slyness: "Oh, such a treasure. Okay, I won't touch it."

He tried to look past Qin Xiaoye, but Qin Xiaoye blocked his view completely, and he couldn't even see a corner of his clothes.

He smiled and said, "Little girl, if you get tired of Qin Xiaoye, you can come find me. I'll be waiting for you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator.

Qin Xiaoye then turned around and looked Jiang Wei up and down: "Are you alright?"

Jiang Wei shook her head: "It's nothing."

Qin Xiaoye: "Lu Ji and I have a long-standing feud, but recently we have a project that the Qin and Lu families are collaborating on, which is why he was able to get involved. I'll have them find someone else to handle things with you from now on. You won't run into him again."

The explanation is detailed, including the background and solutions.

Jiang Wei nodded: "Yes, I'm really fine, Qin Xiaoye."

Qin Xiaoye stroked her hair and smiled, "Mmm."

His hand moved down, taking her hand in his palm. His palm was warm and firm as he led her to his office, his voice gentle: "I've prepared afternoon tea for you."

As soon as Jiang Wei entered, she saw that the originally formal and spacious black desk was filled with desserts: He Ji's double-skin milk, Yun Ji's milk cake, Qing Lu Ice Shop's grass jelly, Nuo Xi Shop's brown sugar glutinous rice cake...

Huh?

Qin Xiaoye also prepared all the foods she liked to eat in the capital.

coincidence?

Qin Xiaoye put away his phone, which contained a message: "Mr. Qin, this is Luo Xue. Jiang Wei likes to eat..."

Qin Xiaoye replied earnestly: Thank you.

Qin Xiaoye bought everything according to the list and placed it on the table.

Jiang Wei wanted to talk about work: "President Qin, about that AI interaction..."

Qin Xiaoye popped a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake into her mouth: "Eat your fill before you start working."

Jiang Wei obediently opened her mouth, and the sweet aroma spread throughout her mouth.

Lu Ji got off the elevator and went to the front desk first, smiling, "Miss Xu, I want to ask you something?"

Xu Feng: "I'm very discreet. Everyone knows you don't get along with our CEO Qin."

Lu Ji pulled a concert ticket from his pocket: "It's a ticket to your brother's concert. I saw you trying to get one, but you couldn't, right?"

Xu Feng hesitated, "What do you want to ask? I'm just a receptionist, I don't know much."

Lu Ji: "Simple, I just want to ask what the name of that pretty girl who went to the president's office earlier was."

Lu Ji walked out of the Qin Group headquarters building, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a "snap," and took a deep drag, feeling very irritable.

He muttered, "I just felt like she looked familiar."

He made a phone call: "Still no news from my sister?"

On the other end of the phone: "Brother Ji, we have indeed been looking. Recently, there's someone in the south who looks quite similar, but it's too far away."

Lu Ji: "It's fine if it's far away, we'll look for them as long as it's possible."

He took a deep drag on his cigarette: "I think I'm crazy. Every girl I see seems like she could be her."

"By the way, help me look up someone. Qin Xiaoye's newlywed wife, Jiang Wei."
