ave I ever acted arrogantly and put on airs When have I ever disrespected you I study well, I practice well, this is the reward for my hard work, it's not yours to take, why are you slandering me like...Qin Jingwen pondered over and over again.

After much deliberation, there was only one path left to take, which was to consult Qiao Shunchen and try to cancel the cooperation plan.

She was once visiting the Qiao family and came to Qiao Shunchen's office. 。As he pushed open the door and walked in, Qiao Shunchen stood in the center of the office, his hands casually shoved into his pockets, his face serious and commanding. 。Qin Jingwen looked at Qiao Shunchen like this in surprise, as if he had been standing there waiting for her to arrive. 。The moment the secretary behind him closed the door, Qiao Shunchen's stern expression vanished instantly, replaced by a warm and gentle one. 。Qin Jingwen didn't understand Qiao Shunchen's expression at all. Just as she was puzzled, Qiao Shunchen took steady steps towards her. 。"President Qiao, I…" A sentence only uttered three words, Qin Jingwen was embraced by Qiao Shunchen who walked over. 。Qin Jingwen's whole body froze. 。What are you doing, this is a company, I'm here to talk about work, let go quickly. 。Qin Jingwen was a little flustered. Now that Ye Wen or the company's employees suddenly broke in, she would become the center of attention for others again. 。"Don't worry if things will loosen up" 。Joe Shunchen also felt like he was crazy. Hugging wasn't in his plan, how did this extra step suddenly appear 。Since last night's intimacy, Qiao Shunchen's love for Qin Jingwen seems even deeper and more unforgettable. 。He especially relishes the feeling of a simple life shared by his family of four. 。Having children and having one's own woman makes one feel more grounded than ever before. 。"You…" Qin Jingwen was still trying to refuse, but at this moment, Qiao Shunchen finally let go of her. 。"Your behavior makes it very difficult for me, I'm angry, you know We..." Just after gaining freedom, Qin Jingwen started blaming Qiao Shunchen. 。But as she spoke, she stopped herself, why Because Qiao Shunchen inexplicably smiled. 。"What are you laughing at" Qin Jingwen asked, looking confused, but there was no response. 。"What's wrong with you today, you seem off. " 。"It's nothing, just a good mood. But why are you wearing a scarf" Qiao Shunchen still had a smile on his face, reaching out as he spoke to take off the scarf around Qin Jingwen's neck. 。"You..." Qin Jingwen reached out to stop him, but it was too late. Her neck had already been exposed. 。Only then, when he saw the hickey on his neck, did Qiao Shunchen remember that it was his own mark. 。Seeing his own mark, he withdrew his smile and once again embraced Qin Jingwen in his arms. 。This time he didn't say anything, only feeling that the kiss mark was particularly magical. Seeing it made him feel like this woman was his, and he was hers. 。"Joseph Chen, you're going too far. If this continues, we can forget about working together." 。I got other people in the company to take over. 。Qin Jingwen warned in a low voice, she was indeed unaccustomed to Qiao Shunchen's state today. 。But her heart was unexpectedly calm, as if everything were happening naturally and without a trace of dissonance. 。Especially Jun Chen's bright smile today made her reluctant to ruin everything. 。Okay, let's talk about work. 。Anyway, we'll have plenty of chances to meet in the future. 。Once again, Qiao Shunchen let go of Qin Jingwen and gently put the silk scarf he had taken off back around her neck. 。"I don't usually like to meet often, Joe. I came here just to discuss this matter with you." 。Let's call off the collaboration. We shouldn't be involved with each other; it's not appropriate. 。Qin Jingwen bluntly entered the topic. Although she didn't want to ruin this warm scene, she couldn't keep time frozen and couldn't live in a fantasy forever. 。No matter how cruel reality is, it must be faced. 。 "Is there anything inappropriate, let me hear it" 。" Qiao Shunchen still had a gentle expression. His thoughts were the complete opposite of Qin Jingwen's. This was an opportunity given to them by God, and it couldn't have been more perfect. > 。"You already know why, don't you If we work together, our relationship won't be able to stay separate." 。Qin Jingwen felt that this was not the time for jokes, nor the time to worry about feelings. Although all of this was caused by their karmic entanglement, Qin Jingwen still wanted to deal with it separately. 。"You always say that you keep public and private separate, but now you don't seem to be so sure" Qiao Shunchen admitted he had personal feelings mixed into this matter. 。Whenever anything about Qin Jingwen comes up, his mind starts to race. 。Go with the flow, maybe this is what they were destined to experience. 。"Joe, two things..." 。"Our company is so small, you wouldn't even look at us. There are countless big companies wanting to work with you. Dare you say there's no reason for you to collaborate with us because of me"

Qin Jingwen also indulged in a bit of self-deception. Although she didn't know his true reasons for collaborating, Qin Jingwen felt that she had played a part.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been designated as the person in charge of this cooperation project. 。Yes, you could say that’s your reason 。Joe Shunchen was straightforward, his face had a warm smile, and his tone was also very gentle. 。“Let me work with you, and then continue to be envied by those women around you, continue to be tormented by them. Watch me get tortured, is that what makes you happy” Qiao Shunchen's answer was so straightforward that Qin Jingwen thought he was going to play her like a toy again. She didn't want to spend her life being guarded and hated by others. 。Seeing Qin Jing's solemn expression, and the worry she couldn't hide in her eyes 。Joe Shunchen also withdrew his smile. 。He walked closer to Qin Jingwen and once again gently embraced her in his arms. 。"Don't worry about the things that will happen in the future, don't worry so much, I'm here." 。" Qiao Shunchen's words were very heartwarming, but Qin Jingwen wanted to get angry when she heard them. 。What on earth was he trying to do He was so hot and cold, so far away and then so close, changing so quickly and suddenly that Qin Jingwen was truly flustered and didn't know what to do. 。 For a moment, Qiao Shunchen let go of Qin Jingwen. 。

Let's begin our discussion about work in a formal and serious manner.

"We only cooperate with big companies, you guys are just too small to be on the same level." 。But I still choose your company, because of you, because of the software you designed. 。"

This software has also been under development by our company, but we haven't made any progress yet. " 。I can only choose to cooperate with you on the development. Otherwise, all our long-term investment and a lot of funding will be wasted. 。"Speaking selfishly, I have more reasons because of the company's interests 。" Qiao Shunchen explained the reasons for the cooperation in more detail. He only said that, otherwise Qin Jingwen would be so entangled. Only when everything was commercialized could Qin Jingwen accept it smoothly. 。However, when Qiao Shunchen spoke of the reasons for their collaboration, Qin Jingwen felt a pang of disappointment in her heart. 。This time, she was really being self-indulgent. Even if there were reasons for her actions, it was a result of her capabilities, not who she was as a person. 。"Since that's the case, just change the person in charge. Don't always have me show up at Joe's..." 。“You can’t change that, others don’t have your ability. Besides you, I don't trust anyone in our company.” 。This cooperation can only be handled by you. 。Joe Shun-chen's tone was firm, he would not sign a contract with a small company no matter how good the cooperation case Qin Jingwen offered. 。 "How should I say it..." Qin Jingwen looked helplessly at Ye Wen, and before she could retort, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Ye Wen stormed in, her face full of anger. 。Similar to last time, with a secretary trailing behind looking panicked, her clothes were all twisted and clearly had been tugged on. 。"Miss Ye, what you're doing really embarrasses me, I'm going to lose my job." 。“

The secretary looked helpless. This kind of situation always happened, and it was difficult for her to be caught in the middle.

Jo Shunchen saw this absurd scene, his face which was just now gentle, instantly turned as cold as ice. 。He opened his mouth, his voice as cold and sharp as a blade. 。"Now, get me two security guards. If anyone disturbs me again while I'm talking, both of you resign immediately." 。" Qiao Shunchen commanded like a lion's roar, scaring the secretary to hurriedly go out and prepare. 。However, Ye Wen was extremely dissatisfied with Qiao Shunchen's words. After hearing the door close, her emotions became high-pitched. 。"Shunchen, what do you mean by that Can't I just come and go as I please Just because she can doesn't mean I can't, right" Ye Wen angrily pointed at Qin Jingwen, her eyes burning with jealousy. The flames of envy had consumed her reason. 。When I'm talking about work, no one is allowed to disturb me. Not even you, or grandpa if he came, would have to wait outside for me. 。"Ye Wen, this isn't the first time you've been unreasonable. What do you want" Qiao Shunchen glared at her angrily, his face contorted like a furious lion. 。Such a willful Ye Wen was beyond his expectations, and had already become his burden. 。"I don't want to do anything, as long as she doesn't get close to you, I won't be so unreasonable. " 。How many women can bear their men meeting with other women Can you ask her if she can bear it 。" Ye Wen once pointed the finger at Qin Jingwen, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous with Qiao Shunchen, she could only attribute the responsibility of these two people entirely to Qin Jingwen. 。She glared at Qin Jingwen, wishing she could eat her alive, but Qin Jingwen was speechless at this moment. 。Yesterday night, when they were together on an impulse, she had thought about this kind of scene happening, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly. 。Ye Wen's words make sense. Even Qin Jingwen wouldn't be able to bear it if her man went around with other women. 。So she could only remain silent. 。Ye Wen and Song Yi'en are different. If Song Yi'en pointed at her and scolded her like that, she would fight back without hesitation. After all, Qiao Shunchen doesn't love Song Yi'en. 。But Ye Wen had been Qiao Shunchen's woman for four years, the woman he deeply loved. In this situation, Qin Jingwen was insignificant, so she couldn't refute and could only listen. 。"Come on, I'm letting you speak, why are you clinging to Qiao Shunchen Want money I'll give you as much as you want, just stay away from him…""Ye Wen, you're too presumptuous! This woman isn't someone you can talk about casually..." 。“

Joe Shunchen suddenly shouted to stop, but the more he protected Qin Jingwen, the greater Ye Wen's reaction became, and her jealousy intensified. At this time, her hatred for Qin Jingwen grew even deeper. ” 。"As long as you leave him, I'll agree to your terms." 。Yè Wén disregarded Qiáo Shùn Chén's stop and insisted on finishing her words. 。However, this didn't make her feel better. Enraged, she disregarded Qiao Shunchen's presence and strode directly to Qin Jingwen's face. Without any hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped Qin Jingwen across the face. 。Qin Jingwen couldn't have imagined that Ye Wen would be so rude as to physically attack her, so she had no defense at all. 。Luckily, Qiao Shunchen reacted quickly and grabbed Ye Wen's hand before it fell to the ground. 。"Are you crazy" 。" Qiao Shunchen roared, then flung Ye Wen's hand away. 。 was limited. 。"Wait, tell Qiao Bin I want to see him. " 。"Song Yi-eun stopped Ye Wen and put forward her last request. 。Although Ye Wen looked very embarrassed, she still reluctantly agreed. 。After...
