When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 248: Sheng Jianan’s Protection (8)

But Tang Yanqi’s thoughts were her own and didn’t work with Sheng Jianan. The Young Master Sheng simply felt that his good intentions of wanting to take her out were wasted, and he frowned unhappily, "Cancel it."

"No."

Tang Yanqi refused without a second thought. Sheng Jianan abruptly slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop in the middle of the road. Fortunately, the car behind him reacted quickly and also hit the brakes, avoiding a rear-end collision.

Amidst the angry shouts from the crowd, the Young Master Sheng calmly stayed in the car, but his expression was far from calm. He glared angrily at Tang Yanqi, "Tang Yanqi, you dare not listen to this Young Master?"

The sounds of people cursing outside the car were clearly heard, and she felt a bit embarrassed. Now hearing Sheng Jianan’s words, she was even more embarrassed!

Come on, you’re both over twenty; can you not say such childish things?

Tang Yanqi suppressed a smile and spoke earnestly, "Sorry, Mr. Sheng, I have a prior engagement with friends, and I don’t want to bail on them. They are very important to me."

Tang Yanqi seemed to emphasize the words "very important," whether intentionally or not, which Sheng Jianan felt distinctly. Almost instinctively, Sheng Jianan blurted out, "What about me?"

The moment he said it, he was stunned. What kind of question was that?

Tang Yanqi was also stunned. Now Sheng Jianan’s tone sounded like a child asking for candy, was he important?

Of course!

But she couldn’t say that.

Tang Yanqi tugged at the corner of her mouth, preparing to brush it off, but Sheng Jianan seemed to see through her intention, his eyes narrowing with an unspoken threat. Somehow, Miss Tang instantly wilted and pulled out a smile, "Of course, of course."

Having received the answer he wanted, the Young Master Sheng was in a great mood, restarting the car with a smile creeping onto his lips.

Tang Yanqi watched, thinking their conversation was bizarre.

After dropping Tang Yanqi off at K University, Sheng Jianan leisurely returned to Shengshi. Qiao Zi came in to deliver files for him to sign, and Sheng Jianan signed his name with a flourish as he spoke, "Cancel a plane ticket, and also, issue a supplementary card for my bank account."

"Yes."

After a pause, Qiao Zi spoke again, "President, regarding the Tang Family..."

Qiao Zi was sharp. She knew very well why Tang Ruhai was here today. Since her boss had returned, maybe the issue was resolved, so she naturally had to ask what they should do next.

"Do what we should, and besides, isn’t the Tang Family bidding for something recently? Apply some pressure before giving them the result."

With just a few words, Sheng Jianan conveyed his meaning completely to Qiao Zi, who was quite shocked.

The Tang Family was indeed bidding, but they weren’t the most capable company. Sheng Jianan’s words suggested he intended to give them a hard time, but ultimately the result would be in their favor.

Wasn’t this openly bending rules for personal reasons? Although such a small contract wasn’t significant for Shengshi Group, she had been with Sheng Jianan for years, and even his close brothers like Zhou Chengze didn’t enjoy such privileges as having back doors opened for them. In all fairness, this seemed to be Sheng Jianan’s first time bending rules in his work.

Though Qiao Zi was shocked, she was highly professional and remained composed on the surface regardless of her inner thoughts.

Turning to leave the president’s office, Qiao Zi couldn’t help but glance back. Was the one for whom the boss was bending rules the Young Madam?
