Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Maximum Boyfriend Power

Sitting in the security office, Su Qingci suddenly sneezed.

"Who’s thinking about me? Some handsome guy, I hope?"

...

He had no choice. Since he’d agreed, he had to see it through.

Besides, Jiang Fan wanted to see what kind of trouble Yin Ruxue was trying to stir up and take the opportunity to make his position clear to her.

He had just asked Li Muwan and found out that his entire salary and all his bonuses were paid by Yin Ruxue personally. It didn’t have a damn thing to do with the company.

Rather than working for Xuerong, it was more like he was working directly for Yin Ruxue.

So what the hell was there to be afraid of?

With his hands in his pockets, Jiang Fan sauntered over to the chairwoman’s office, pushed the door open, and walked right in.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Fan glanced at the other man, then at Yin Ruxue.

Before he could say a word, a sweet smile bloomed on Yin Ruxue’s face. She trotted over to his side and looped her arm through his.

"Honey, what are you doing here?"

"Where’s Mengmeng?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Fan was caught off guard. He answered instinctively, "I just dropped Mengmeng off at school."

"She has class today. What’s wrong?"

"Nothing. I was just curious why you came over."

Listening to Yin Ruxue’s saccharine voice and seeing the sweet smile on her face, like a young woman who had fallen head over heels in love, Jiang Fan shuddered involuntarily.

"My ex-boyfriend is clinging to me like a persistent pest. Help me get rid of him."

"Help me!"

Yin Ruxue whispered rapidly into Jiang Fan’s ear.

Jiang Fan’s brow twitched. He was about to refuse when she added, "I’ll give you all of your previous salary and bonuses from the company."

"Not a single cent will be missing. You earned it all. I’m just begging you to help me."

The moment his old salary and bonuses were mentioned, Jiang Fan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"I just came to see if you were working too hard, honey. You’ve been toiling away day and night recently. I even made you some chicken soup to help you recover."

"Let’s get off work early today and go home to drink it."

Yin Ruxue’s face turned red. She never would have thought Jiang Fan could say something like that, but given the situation, she couldn’t exactly refute him.

"Oh, you’re awful."

Yin Ruxue tapped Jiang Fan’s chest lightly with her fist, speaking shyly.

"Oh, right, I forgot to ask earlier. And this is?"

Jiang Fan smiled dotingly and tapped the tip of Yin Ruxue’s nose.

"This is a former college classmate of mine. He’s also my grandfather’s god-grandson."

"He just recently came back from abroad to build his career here."

"His name is... Li Xiangyang."

Yin Ruxue deliberately hesitated, which made Li Xiangyang’s expression turn ugly.

’Less than three years have passed. Does she really have to think that hard to remember my name??’

"Hello. I’m Xue’Er’s ex-boyfriend and childhood sweetheart. May I ask your name and where you work?"

Li Xiangyang quickly composed himself, then extended his hand with a smile.

But Jiang Fan just gave him a cool glance and didn’t move.

This made Li Xiangyang a bit awkward. "Has common courtesy in this country really gotten this bad? Don’t you have any basic manners?"

"Manners? What’s your game, bringing up being Xue’Er’s ex-boyfriend and childhood sweetheart right off the bat? Don’t you know we’re married? That this is my wife?"

"Are you here just to piss me off?"

Jiang Fan’s cold tone left Li Xiangyang at a slight loss.

Because that had indeed been his intention.

He hadn’t expected this boorish-looking man in cheap clothes to see right through him.

"Of course not. It’s just that Xue’Er and I were very close. We only separated back then because of some family matters..."

"I just didn’t expect her to be with you now."

"Li Xiangyang, I’ll say it one more time. Call me Yin Ruxue. Don’t call me Xue’Er. You don’t have the right to call me that."

"Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Yin Ruxue snapped coldly, her voice filled with anger.

"Are you done yet?" Jiang Fan cut in.

"Huh?"

Li Xiangyang found that he couldn’t quite follow this man’s train of thought.

"If you’re done, then scram, Mr. Ex."

"This is my wife’s company, my wife’s office, and that’s my wife’s sofa—where the two of us are going to lie down."

"What are you doing sitting here?"

"You want to watch a live show?"

Jiang Fan tilted his head, looking at him in confusion.

"Mr. Ex...? A live... show?"

With the cultural education Li Xiangyang had received abroad over the years, he naturally understood what Jiang Fan meant.

His face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a sooty pot.

"You!"

"You? What about me? You’re like a toad on a man’s foot—not biting, just grossing him out. Now get lost." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Jiang Fan waved his hand dismissively as if shooing a fly. He paid him no mind, wrapping an arm around Yin Ruxue and sitting down on the sofa. The two of them gazed into each other’s eyes, full of affection.

"I...! Grandpa sent me here to help her!"

"I’m the vice president of this company, so why should I leave?"

Li Xiangyang said hysterically, his eyes practically shooting fire.

"Vice president?"

Jiang Fan turned his head to look at Yin Ruxue.

"I couldn’t help it. Grandpa insisted on forcing him on me."

Yin Ruxue had a bit of a headache just talking about it.

"Since you’ve decided to stay with the company, you can leave for now. I’ll message you when I have a work assignment for you."

"And make sure you lock the door on your way out."

"Huh??"

"Who the hell do you think you are to give me orders? You’re just a pretty boy freeloader!"

At Jiang Fan’s words, Li Xiangyang could no longer suppress the rage in his heart.

"Who the hell do you think you are to talk to my husband like that? Since you’ve decided to stay with the company, you can leave for now. I’ll message you when I have work for you to do."

"Do you understand? If you don’t, then get the hell out of my company. I don’t mind having Qingci come up here and escort you out."

Yin Ruxue’s brow furrowed. She stood up and snapped at him.

At the mention of Su Qingci, a flash of fear actually crossed Li Xiangyang’s eyes, which greatly surprised Jiang Fan.

Right then, Li Xiangyang’s expression was uglier than if he had just eaten dog shit. He clenched his fists and left the office.

Once the office door was closed, Jiang Fan quickly let go of Yin Ruxue.

"Thanks. If you hadn’t been here, it would have been really hard to get rid of that persistent pest."

"That Li Xiangyang... he’s afraid of Su Qingci?"

Jiang Fan asked, quite surprised.

"He... Qingci once beat him so badly he ended up in the hospital."
