A whirlwind marriage: The real heiress marries a warlord.

Du Jia brought the children to Qin Yan and Cheng Tianxun's house for a meal.

Everyone had a pleasant chat.

Du Jia had promised Qin Yan that she would never cry in front of her again. No matter how happy she was, she would never cry tears of joy.

She is very good at controlling her emotions.

Qin Yan felt that she was somewhat like her.

Du Jia's good mood is contagious, making everyone happy.

When Ling Manyun left Nancheng, she didn't know when she would return. She told Qin Yan not to keep the position for her. They could deal with the future later. Qin Yan chose another secretary.

Even though he was very reluctant to part with her, Qin Yan was not saddened or depressed by her departure.

A few days later, Qin Yan dismissed the secretary. She had violated Qin Yan's taboos several times in a short period of time; at the same time, she made Qin Yan realize that what she really needed was a general manager.

Ling Manyun did so much for her.

Although the wages she paid Ling Manyun were always considered those of a "general manager," Qin Yan couldn't feel at ease enjoying the conveniences Ling Manyun brought her.

She got a new secretary. She only assigned her duties, and Qin Yan took over the rest herself.

She was very busy, but Cheng Tianxun was even busier.

No matter how busy they are, the couple will always find time to talk at night; Cheng Tianxun has good stamina, and no matter how tired he is, he will never forget about things in bed.

Sweating it out at night makes Qin Yan feel refreshed and able to handle any busyness during the day.

But it was really tiring.

Du Jia came to the newspaper office to see her and brought her lunch.

The mother and daughter chatted casually, and she asked Qin Yan if she had any difficulties that required help. Qin Yan was not used to complaining to others, but she remembered what Cheng Tianxun had said, that she could rely on her elders appropriately.

Qin Yan swallowed his "It's nothing" and asked Du Jia, "Do you have anyone suitable to lend me? I need a general manager."

Du Jia's eyes brightened slightly.

She said, "I recommend someone. She's the daughter of my accountant, and I've watched her grow up. Her parents are good people, and she's good too. I sponsored her education in her early years. Now she manages the bank for me."

"That's too important, I can't..."

"Qinyan, your mother actually wants to manage the newspaper for you herself. But it's easy for family members to have conflicts when they work together."

"You can use this person first. If she uses my name to disregard you, then fire her," Du Jia said.

Qin Yan thanked him.

The next day, a woman in her thirties came to Qin Yan's newspaper office.

Her name is Sun Lanying.

"When I was little, my name was Er Ya. Later, my wife praised me for being smart and spent money to send me to school, giving me my formal name," Ms. Sun said.

She is six years older than Qin Yan, efficient in her work, and gentle in her personality; she is quite capable in managing personnel, no less so than Ling Manyun.

Qin Yan's newspaper is back on track.

"President, please select two people to be my deputies. They can be of service to you in the future," Sun Lanying said again.

Qin Yan indeed chose two clerks he trusted and had Ms. Sun mentor and train them.

Even with helpers, Qin Yan still oversaw everything to ensure that matters remained under his control.

Trust needs to be built up gradually.

Before we knew it, it was the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Qin Yan said to Cheng Tianxun, "I would like to invite Madam Lan to dinner to thank her for lending me the man."

Cheng Tianxun: "Don't be too polite. If your elders give you something, accept it happily. They will be happy. This is also a way of showing filial piety."

Qin Yan: "They are different after all..."

She suddenly realized that the warlord's wife had given her Uncle Zheng and another person, but she had never thought of inviting the warlord's wife to dinner to express her gratitude.

Qin Yan accepted the gift simply because the warlord's wife was her mother-in-law.

They are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are family.

Upon realizing this, Qin Yan immediately abandoned the idea of ​​inviting him to dinner as a favor.

She thought that Madam Lan also hoped that she could rely on her.

"I always lack wisdom in my character," she said to Cheng Tianxun.

Cheng Tianxun: "You're so capable at such a young age, how much more wisdom do you need? Enough is enough."

Qin Yan: "..."

Uncle Zheng is still by Qin Yan's side.

Although Liu Jinyao is dead and Qin Yan's crisis is over, Cheng Tianxun wants her to learn a new fighting style and change the "life-risking" fighting style she learned in the royalist party.

Qin Yan gets up an hour earlier every day; she now wakes up at the same time as Cheng Tianxun. He goes on training exercises, while Qin Yan learns martial arts from Uncle Zheng.

She continued to make rapid progress.

Uncle Zheng is also very good at teaching.

Besides teaching martial arts, Uncle Zheng is also improving Qin Yan's spear skills.

The couple wakes up and goes to bed at the same time, and sometimes they can even take a shower together in the morning and then "exercise" together. Qin Yan is full of energy all day long.

On weekends, when Qin Yan was off work, Cheng Tianxun would also take time to spend with her.

"Shall we have a marksmanship contest?" Cheng Tianxun took out two new-style Mauser pistols, held them up in his hands, and found them to be a bit heavy.

He wanted Qin Yan to practice this.

Qin Yan: "Shall we decide who wins and who loses?"

"Okay," Cheng Tianxun said. "If I lose, I'll give you a new car."

Qin Yan: "You asked Madam Lan when my birthday was last time, so you've probably already prepared a car. Are you worried I don't want to celebrate, and are you thinking about how to get me a car as a gift?"

Cheng Tianxun: "..."

My wife is very clever, so surprises are often just joyful, not shocking.

"Just give it to me," Qin Yan said. "I'm not used to using this kind of Mauser pistol. If I really beat you, you should reflect on your actions."

Cheng Tianxun chuckled and put his arm around her.

As evening fell, Qin Yan spotted a new car with a wide front.

"I'll drive. Let's go out of town and have some fun," Qin Yan said.

Cheng Tianxun laughed.

This was a performance Qin Yan really liked. When she was exceptionally happy, her eyes would light up, and she would even come up with some rather impulsive ideas.

For example, going for a drive out of town at night.

"Okay." Cheng Tianxun was willing to go crazy with her.

Qin Yan added, "Bring the Mauser C96 pistol."

"Bring two. If we really run into bandits, we'll test our marksmanship," Cheng Tianxun said.

Qin Yan said, "Okay."

There were no streetlights on the official road, but with the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the moonlight was as bright as day; and since the road was familiar, Qin Yan did not turn on the headlights.

As she drove, she chatted with Cheng Tianxun. The couple hadn't strolled around aimlessly like this in a long time.

She suddenly remembered last year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

She was with Ling Manyun at that time. That night, when she returned home, she was chased by Du Zhuojun's half-brother.

Fortunately, Cheng Tianxun came back to help.

"This year has gone by so fast," Qin Yan suddenly said.

"Soon?" Cheng Tianxun asked.

He felt this year was incredibly long compared to his previous experiences, because so many things had happened this year.

There were too many things to do, and it was too emotionally draining; his time was completely filled. He and Qin Yan also seemed to have gone through a lot together.

But then he thought that these minor setbacks should be insignificant in Qin Yan's life, which is why she felt they were very short.

"Qin Yan, we'll have a wonderful future together," he said.

Qin Yan said, "It's hard to predict whether things will turn out well or badly. But we can live to be a hundred years old. When that time comes, it will definitely be a good time."

Cheng Tianxun laughed and said, "You have a strong obsession with longevity."

"Before, I wanted to live to be a hundred years old alone; but now I want to live to be a hundred years old with you," Qin Yan said.

Cheng Tianxun: "Then you still dare to go out of town in the middle of the night and run into bandits?"

"I went out of town for fun; so you were hoping to run into bandits?" Qin Yan asked.

Cheng Tianxun: "..."

Unfortunately, the couple never got to compete with the Mauser pistol, and they don't know who was better at shooting. Qin Yan and Uncle Zheng practiced new shooting techniques together, and practiced with the Mauser pistol during their breaks as a pastime.

She picked it up very quickly.

Afterwards, Du Jia brought her lunch and they chatted casually. Qin Yan mentioned her Mauser pistol, and Du Jia said, "I can also shoot a Mauser pistol. In fact, I only know how to shoot a Mauser pistol."

Qin Yan was just a casual remark.

Not long after, something happened to the Lan family.
