Ye Mi was standing outside the door of Qiao Yan's study room wearing her big-mouthed monkey two-piece pajamas. She pursed her lips and muttered something in her heart, wondering if she would step on a landmine again. She suddenly felt that her husband was really mysterious and wondered how many secrets he had that were unknown to others.

She knocked on the door twice, then stuck her head in and held the handle. "Husband? What are you doing?" She smiled foolishly.

Qiao Yan raised his brows and looked at her in confusion.

"Can I come in?"

Qiao Yan smiled and patted his legs, "Come and sit down." He stretched out his arms and pulled her in.

Ye Mi looked at the computer, and saw all kinds of lines on it, going up and down. Although Ye Mi didn't understand economics, he roughly knew what these were.

Qiao Yan put his hand in front of her eyes, "What do you want to do? Want to spy on my privacy? You're sneaky and don't even show me any courtesy. You should at least wash some fruit and give me a glass of milk or something."

Ye Mi pouted, jumped down and ran out, then came back with two apples in one hand and a glass of milk in the other. "Mr. Qiao, please have some milk and apples." Then she turned around and sat on his lap, took a bite of the apple, moving the mouse while chewing, "Did you make a lot of money from stock trading?"

"Why do you say that?" Qiao Yan held her wrist and took a bite of her apple. "You got your salary card and are now investigating my assets." He pinched her waist. "You're starting to calculate how much you can get after the divorce. I tell you, you're destined to be a young lady in this life. You can't become a rich woman."

Ye Mi chuckled, turned around, hugged his neck and kissed him, "I don't want to be a rich woman, I just want to be the second young lady."

Qiao Yan felt so touched. He hugged the person in his arms and buried his face in her neck, rubbing it, "Ye Zi!"

"Um?"

"leaf!"

Ye Mi was a little distracted. She held his head and whispered to him. Qiao Yan felt very comfortable. He had some thoughts. He looked up, held Ye Mi's face with both hands, and looked at her with burning eyes, "How long have we been married?"

"Two years, four months and thirteen days." Ye Mi pouted, her voice sounding a little aggrieved. She picked at the buttons of her shirt on her chest and lowered her head without looking at him. "How long have we known each other?" she asked quietly.

Qiao Yan was stunned for a moment. He was stumped. "We got married after knowing each other for more than a month, right?"

He spoke in a low voice, a little ashamed. She could blurt out such precise dates, but the time they spent together was just an approximation in his mind. He stroked her smooth cheek with the tip of his thumb, and the feeling made him unable to stop. He didn't know when she made him unable to let go.

Qiao Yan smiled faintly, "Why don't you talk?"

Ye Mi hugged him, feeling really aggrieved. "It's not worth it for me. I didn't care about you all the time. We got married 25 days after we knew each other. I went to school 4 days after we got married. You stayed with me in Sichuan for 16 days, and then disappeared. It was two months later that you sent me a text message and gave me your number. I was so worried during that time that my eyes were swollen every day. I thought it would be better if you died. What would I do if you went to fool around with other women?"

Ye Mi shrank into his arms, her voice becoming thinner and thinner, and she looked like she was about to cry, "I feel so stupid. I didn't know anything about you at that time. I didn't know who you were, why you helped me, why you married me, but I just liked you so much. Sometimes I really thought you were a bad person, and I told myself to be careful, but I still couldn't control my heart. Qiao Yan, do you know that you must be a male vixen!"

"Then you are a female vixen." Qiao Yan hugged her tightly, feeling indescribable love in his heart, "Moreover, you are a female vixen with profound skills. You can confuse people's minds without them realizing it, and make men obsessed with you."

"How could I?" Ye Mi raised his head suddenly, looking dissatisfied, "You are the one, you are surrounded by a lot of playboys, people like those romantic weekends in France."

"Don't you have a lot of pilots, mechanics, and air security guards who write love letters to you? And the trainees, and the company's young master. You just use your vixen charm to confuse them, and then..."

Ye Mi raised her body and bit his lips, blocking out his completely unfounded slander and jealousy. Qiao Yan's eyes widened, not expecting her to be so proactive. He put his hands around her waist, enjoying the performance of his good apprentice. He didn't take the initiative, just letting her use those half-baked little tricks, but Ye Mi seemed to know how to grasp the timing. She stopped just as she ignited his emotions. She pinched his face willfully, "Then tell me, have I confused you? Tell me, tell me quickly."

Qiao Yan felt a little resentful, but there was nothing he could do as he looked at her coquettish look. He pinched her chin and asked, "Do you want to confuse me?" He narrowed his eyes, looking a bit naughty and lustful.

Ye Mi was a little absent-minded, looking straight at him, and saw the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger. Ye Mi came back to her senses, her face suddenly turned red, and she threw herself into his arms. Qiao Yan laughed loudly and patted her back, "We have been separated for so long, it's enough to file for divorce." He leaned close to her ear, his voice was low and magnetic, "Move over, we'll be together."

Ye Mi's whole body stiffened for a moment, feeling a little excited and a little shy. She hid her face in his chest and nodded vigorously. She thought that she had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Facing the urge to become his, her little woman's reserve had long disappeared without a trace.

"You've been so well behaved for so long, is it just to make it easier for you to divorce me one day?"

Qiao Yan's romantic thoughts were suddenly blocked. Seeing her serious look, he wanted to slap her first and then slap himself twice. It really ruined the mood. He tightened his arms, looked down at her, frowned, "Ye Mi, listen carefully, I said that if we divorce, everything I have is yours. Do you know how much I have? The man you met tonight works for me. Even if it is to protect my property, I will not divorce you. I will not give you the opportunity to increase your net worth to ten figures. Just put your heart in your stomach. I will not divorce you even if you want to. Tomorrow I will let Yin Yining notarize the prenuptial agreement. If you dare to ask for a divorce in front of me again, I will kill you. You will be tied to me, Qiao Yan and those US dollars for the rest of your life and wait for death."

Qiao Yan pressed forward before she could speak. Ye Mi quickly put her hand over her mouth. She looked at the stunned Qiao Yan and smiled happily, "Yan, I forgot to tell you, my relatives are here."

"You have relatives?" Qiao Yan was surprised. Wasn't she an orphan

Ye Mi pursed her lips and said, "My period may have come because I ate too much tonight, including bird's nest, shark's fin, abalone and sea cucumber."

Qiao Yan's face turned the color of liver, "How many days!"

Ye Mi stretched out his hand and pinched three fingers together, "Seven days."

Qiao Yan exhaled deeply, loosened his hand, and said in a faint voice, "Get out of here as soon as possible."

"Oh!" Ye Mi jumped off his legs and looked at him innocently, "Then shall we stay together tonight?"

Young Master Qiao was really angry this time. He picked up a book on the table and threw it at Ye Mi, "You damn girl, you're asking for a beating."

The next day, Ye Mi and Qiao Yan went to work together. As soon as they entered the comprehensive building, they saw the decision of administrative appointment and dismissal on the bulletin board of Feiyang Airlines. Lin Pei officially replaced Qiao Yan as the trainee instructor. Although Qiao Yan had been fully prepared for this decision, he was still a little sad to see this appointment and dismissal decision.

Ye Mi looked at his gloomy expression, and her good mood disappeared in an instant. She held his hand tightly, feeling a little guilty, "It's all because of me that you were removed."

"Can you speak more pleasantly? This is called reasonable avoidance, little girl. Don't say things like being fired or withdrawn." Qiao Yan smiled. In fact, in his heart, what he cared about most was not that he could not train the students, but that his chance to compete for the position of captain was already in jeopardy.

In the morning, Qiao Yan and Sun Jian signed a new contract with the company. He will work in Feiyang’s Complaints Department in the future. Of course, all this will happen after he recovers from the surgery.

The celebration of Feiyang's 30th anniversary is getting closer and closer, and the company is going to release a large number of advertisements and promotional videos to build momentum. In the morning, the team leader found Qiao Yan and said, "The company's consultant group experts are optimistic about you and hope you can participate in the filming."

"I'm sorry!" Qiao Yan refused without even thinking about it. Not many people in Feiyang really knew him. As the son of a large group and the boss of an independent investment company, it was not appropriate for him to do something like shooting commercials.

The captain's face was not looking good. Others gave him gifts to curry favor with him, but Qiao Yan never seemed to take him seriously. No matter what happened, it was easy for others, but it was difficult for him. This was a task assigned by the company's senior management, so he couldn't just give up.

"It's to film the pilot part with Ye Mi." He gave the most tempting reason to Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan did hesitate at that moment, but he quickly made a decision, "Actually it's not a problem of partner. I'm not good at acting, and I'm usually quite serious. I'm afraid I really can't do the job." He stood up, "Captain, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." After saying that, he opened the door and left.

When Qiao Yan came out, he ran into Lin Pei at the elevator entrance. Because of Ye Mi's incident, the rift between the two seemed to have widened a lot. Qiao Yan nodded, very distant, and the two of them went up and down without saying a word. The elevator door closed, and Lin Pei pulled the corner of his mouth. He believed that he would not agree to shoot the commercial.

When he entered the captain's office, he saw the man putting a cigarette in his mouth. Lin Pei smiled and went forward to light it for him. "What, you hit a snag again?"

The captain became even more annoyed when he heard this, "Who does he think he is? This time I will find a way to remove him as the captain candidate." He thought that as long as he was nominated, there would be no problem with Qiao Yan's skills.

"Master, what leverage do you have over him? Secret marriage is his private life, and he has already settled the Zhou Tongzhe matter, and it doesn't seem to be convincing enough." Lin Pei sat down opposite him and lit a cigarette for himself.

"What can you do?"

"Wouldn't it be best to let him give up on his own?"
