Someone from the Tang family
Sister-in-law
So, the relationship between this beautiful woman named Youyou and Tang Jue...is not what she thought
Qiqi's eyes unconsciously fell on Tang Jue's shirt collar. The two lip prints, both in shape and color, looked like they were from the same person.
so…
Am I overthinking it
Tang Youyou, who was also a woman, followed her line of sight and saw through Qiqi's thoughts at a glance. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't mind. I left this lip print. Usually when we play, we never distinguish between you and me."
Qiqi felt embarrassed to be seen through. She wanted to refute, but in this situation, refutation would only make things worse.
In the end, she just explained softly: "He and I don't actually have that kind of relationship..."
"Well, don't worry, it will happen sooner or later. Right, Third Brother?"
Qiqi became even more embarrassed.
It seems that Tang Jue is not the only one in the Tang family who has strong self-confidence, but everyone in his family also has very strong confidence in him.
"You guys play first, I'll come over later." Tang Jue didn't respond to Tang Youyou's words, but took Qiqi's hand naturally, "I'll take you away."
"Why not take her to meet Second Brother and the others?" Tang You You asked.
"Next time." Tang Jue replied as naturally as possible.
He pushed open the door of the box and led Qiqi out. Qiqi struggled, but failed to break free, so she let him lead her. Along the way, she attracted countless inquiring eyes. She lowered her eyes and looked at their tightly held hands, her heart slightly moved. Before this, she had never appeared in public hand in hand with any man like this.
Like, lovers...

That night, Qiqi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
In my mind, I always think of Tang Jue's words "Qiqi, you are jealous"...
Is she jealous
She asked herself again and again, wanting to firmly deny it. But if it wasn't true, why did she care so much about him calling Wen Xin "baby"? And why did she care so much about the lip print on his shirt
Qiqi closed her eyes and pulled the quilt tightly around her. Her chest felt a little stuffy. A sense of guilt, along with repressed emotions, gathered in her chest, like a vine sprouting...
Inch by inch, her heart tightened.
There are only a few days left before the deadline he gave her. At this point, can she really escape his hunt
She wasn't sure at all.
——
The day before the 'one month' deadline, Tangmen.
In the study, Tang Jue was flipping through a book when there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in." Tang Jue leaned against the bookshelf and responded.
Jian Qing pushed the door open and walked in, "Young Master."
"What's the matter?" Tang Jue glanced at him and continued to flip through the book in his hand.
Jian Qing replied: "Qi Yong's wife, Qi Qi's aunt Jiang Shao, worked for a company whose financing project was found to have problems by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau today. Jiang Shao is one of the persons in charge of this project and bears joint liability. If she is held accountable, she will probably be imprisoned. Otherwise, use 5 million yuan to make up for the financing gap this time."
"Yeah, I guessed it a month ago." Tang Jue replied calmly without even raising his head.
"You predicted this a month ago?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I should give Qiqi a month?"
Jian Qing suddenly realized.
So that's it. The young master's one-month deadline was just to wait for Miss Qiqi to fall into the trap. He considered it for a moment, "Then... this time, you don't plan to help her again?"
In fact, before this, Tang Clan had secretly helped Jiang Shao twice and resolved crises.
"It depends on Qiqi's performance." Tang Jue closed the book and threw it back on the bookshelf. "Is there any news from the Civil Affairs Bureau today?"
Speaking of this, Jian Qing shook his head in embarrassment, "No. Not only is there no news, but... Miss Qiqi is on a business trip today..."
Tang Jue snorted coldly, his face turned colder.
This little woman is even more stubborn than he thought!
———
the other side.
Qiqi takes photos of models at the beach.
She remembered that today was the last day of Tang Jue's so-called deadline, so she couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded throughout the whole day.
In the afternoon, after taking photos, I went back to my hotel room.
"Qiqi, your phone has been ringing non-stop. It's been ringing all afternoon!" Ye Wan, who lived in the same room with her, said to her as she just walked in.
Qiqi was distracted for a moment.
…Is it Tang Jue
Today is the last day. Given his personality, there is no way he wouldn’t come look for me.
"What are you daydreaming about? Go and have a look. If you don't, it will ring again." Seeing that she didn't move, Ye Wan nudged her with his elbow.
She came back to her senses, said "oh" softly, and put the camera down.
I walked to the bed and took out the phone from under the pillow. I thought it was Tang Jue, but when I saw all the missed calls, I unexpectedly found that it was not her.
She subconsciously checked all the calls. There were 15 missed calls in total, but none of them were from Tang Jue.
Besides my uncle Qi Yong, there is also my cousin Qi Yu.
so…
He didn't look for himself.
Qiqi felt that she should be relieved, but inexplicably, a slight sense of loss crept into her heart. This contradictory feeling was really terrible.
Without thinking any more, she stood up, took her cell phone, walked to the window and called her uncle back.
The call was made and within a short while the phone was connected.
"Qiqi, where are you now?" Qi Yong's tone was a little anxious.
"I'm on a business trip now. Did something happen?"
"Tell your uncle the truth. Have you offended Tang Jue recently? Are you two still involved?"
When Qiqi heard the word "Tang Jue", her heart skipped a beat. "Uncle, why did you suddenly mention him?"
"Your aunt's company was recently targeted by the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and as expected, a problem occurred today. Your aunt was also taken away for investigation. I'm worried that there is a mastermind behind this."
Qiqi pursed her lips and subconsciously held the phone tightly.
Today just happened to be...
Tang Jue gave himself a one-month deadline, which was today! Could it be that this really had something to do with him
"Uncle, I don't know much about this. Let me make a phone call first. I'll get back to you later." She wanted to get things clear.
"Are you going to call Tang Jue?" Qi Yong guessed what Qi Qi was thinking, "Qi Qi, you don't know the depth of Tang Jue at all, don't be foolish and let him fool you."
“… I know. I’ll hang up first.”
Qiqi didn't talk much with Qiyong and hung up the phone. She felt a little confused.
He took a deep breath and dialed the number that he had memorized even though he hadn't saved it.
After two rings, the call was finally connected.
"Are you looking for me about your aunt's matter?" Before Qiqi could speak, Tang Jue's voice came from the other side.
Qiqi's breathing tightened and her heart turned cold.
Although I know that Tang Jue has many tricks and he is always cruel and merciless, but...
After hearing his words, she realized that this was not the answer she was expecting...
His gentleness made her feel for a moment that this man was not as bad as she thought.
But now it seems...
Those are just my own illusions.
He is still him. He is still the Tang Jue who is good at playing tricks on others.
Today is a special day, I have used up all my manuscripts, plus I have a classmate party in the middle of the night, so I can't finish it all at once. The remaining two chapters will be made up for you tomorrow. The new year is over, I need to focus on studying, and go to work~~
