There was a faint trace of jealousy in Ning Xingruo’s tone.
After all, Young Master Wei’s reputation in Zhonghai was simply too famous.
He drifted through countless women without ever getting attached.
In her eyes, he had probably long grown used to indulging in luxury and pleasure outside, surrounded by endless beautiful women serving him.
A sudden feeling of grievance rose in her heart.
After hearing that, Wei Tianci casually said, “There are way more exciting things to play with out there. Those girls really know how to serve people. They’re open-minded and daring.”
“You and rich young ladies like An Muyue are basically just pretty vases to look at.”
“But when it comes to skill, the girls in those entertainment venues are still better.”
He felt like he needed to hit the brakes and pour some cold water on Xingruo. If this continued any further, he would just be playing with fire.
[You silly girl, how could I possibly fool around outside? Even if I didn’t care about myself, I’d still have to think about you.]
[You’re my fiancée. We spend every day together at the company. What if I caught something and passed it to you?]
[Wouldn’t that break my heart?]
Wei Tianci quietly waited for Ning Xingruo to explode in anger and storm away.
Unexpectedly, her reaction completely caught him off guard.
A strange look of delight actually appeared on Ning Xingruo’s face.
Her cheeks flushed red with excitement as she said, “Then I’ll start learning foot washing and massage too.”
Knowing that the man she loved was not the lecher everyone claimed he was genuinely made her happy. She could not help wanting to express her excitement.
Ning Xingruo’s delicate hands awkwardly began giving Wei Tianci a foot massage. The air instantly filled with a sweet, fiery atmosphere overflowing with affection.
Wei Tianci held her black silk-covered little foot in his hand and stared blankly at Ning Xingruo’s actions.
[Holy crap, is this really the domineering queen-like Ning Xingruo?]
[Is this supposed to be a pleasant surprise or a horrifying shock?]
Blushing, Ning Xingruo secretly glanced at the dumbfounded Wei Tianci.
‘What a troublesome man.’
What had started as teasing somehow turned into her genuinely serving her fiancé seriously.
Recalling the acupoints he had explained earlier, she carefully and attentively massaged him like a professional therapist.
Beep beep beep…
The surveillance app on Ning Xingruo’s phone suddenly triggered an alarm.
She opened it and glanced at the screen. “The fish took the bait.”
Then she turned the phone screen toward Wei Tianci.
Wei Tianci instantly went numb!
It was actually surveillance footage of Ye Fan stealing the formula. His sneaky actions had been recorded clearly from beginning to end!
…
The next morning, Ankang Group held a shareholders’ meeting.
Everyone wore gloomy expressions. In just one hour, Tianxing Group’s Antihypertensive Medicine Version 3.0 would officially launch.
To them, this was absolutely a devastating blow.
They had only released Antihypertensive Medicine Version 2.0 yesterday, yet the suppression had arrived this quickly!
At that moment, the meeting room doors were suddenly pushed open. Security guard Ye Fan casually walked in as though strolling through a garden.
Everyone turned to look at him simultaneously.
An Muyue coldly said, “Do you need something?”
After the thoughts incident, her impression of Ye Fan had become extremely poor.
He actually dared to target her? Truly a toad lusting after swan meat.
Moreover, the man was excessively vindictive. Over a tiny matter last time, he had immediately filed a fake police report to retaliate against Wei Tianci.
If Wei Tianci was a hypocrite, then this guy was definitely a true villain.
An Muyue had even considered firing him before, but with too many things happening, she had forgotten about it. She did not expect him to jump out on his own today.
With one hand in his pocket, Ye Fan strode in stylishly while giving An Muyue a wickedly charming smile. “I came today to tell everyone two pieces of good news. You could say it’s a double celebration.”
An Muyue’s eyelids twitched when she heard the phrase “double celebration.” She had become a little sensitive to those words after Wei Tianci had opened his speech that way at yesterday’s conference.
Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Fan raised one finger.
“First, I’ll stop hiding it. I’m a billionaire and also the newest shareholder of Ankang Group.”
He calmly tossed out a stack of documents for the shareholders to pass around.
“Before the stock market closed yesterday, I spent 3 billion yuan acquiring 5% of Ankang Group’s shares.”
He casually pulled over a chair and lazily sat down.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
A mere security guard had suddenly transformed into a billionaire tycoon shareholder?
The crowd quickly exchanged meaningful glances.
Almost simultaneously, they all came to the same conclusion. CEO An’s charm was truly terrifying. Everything this man had done was definitely for her!
A hidden big shot pretending to be an ordinary person. What a dramatic storyline!
And the truth was indeed exactly that.
Ye Fan had joined Ankang Group specifically because he wanted An Muyue.
However, things had not progressed as smoothly as he imagined, so he decided to stop keeping a low profile.
He planned to gradually reveal his strength. After all, no woman disliked a powerful man.
But when Ye Fan looked at An Muyue with restrained confidence, he suddenly froze.
Because An Muyue was glaring at his documents with obvious displeasure. She clearly showed rejection toward him as a new shareholder.
Sure enough.
In front of everyone, An Muyue casually tossed Ye Fan’s shareholder documents aside and indifferently said, “And then? What else do you want to say?”
Ye Fan was instantly furious.
Why was she not following the script?
Shouldn’t she be extremely interested in him right now? Shouldn’t she ask why he possessed such overwhelming wealth?
He was so rich, yet he had willingly disguised himself as a nobody just to get close to her. Shouldn’t she feel touched?
What did this dismissive attitude even mean?
Ye Fan felt utterly suffocated.
What he did not know was that An Muyue was also extremely angry at that moment.
Because events were unfolding exactly like Wei Tianci’s thoughts had predicted. Ye Fan had finally exposed his wolfish ambitions.
A man who could casually throw around billions yet patiently hide as a security guard…
Compared to Ye Fan, being around Wei Tianci actually felt safer.
At the very least, she could hear Wei Tianci’s thoughts. But Ye Fan? Perhaps he was the venomous snake secretly watching from the shadows.
Because An Muyue ruled Ankang Group with absolute authority, her cold attitude also caused everyone else to act coldly toward Ye Fan.
Yet seeing this only intensified Ye Fan’s fighting spirit.
The Dragon Emperor had always succeeded effortlessly with women. He had not expected the first Pure Yin Woman he encountered to be this difficult.
Very good.
A challenge.
I like it.
Ye Fan adjusted his mentality before calmly saying, “I believe everyone already knows that Tianxing Group’s New Drug Launch Conference will begin in one hour.”
“At that time, they’ll officially release Antihypertensive Medicine Version 3.0. One pill lasts an entire week. This is a true king-level product.”
Everyone in the meeting room darkened at his words. He was practically rubbing salt into their wounds.
The reason they had gathered here today was precisely to discuss countermeasures.
An Muyue impatiently said, “Cut the nonsense.”
She had already been constantly suppressed by Ning Xingruo’s Tianxing Group, making her extremely irritated.
Yet Ye Fan merely smiled confidently. “Why panic over such a tiny issue?”
Shaking his head lazily, he continued, “I received information that Tianxing Group’s chief pharmacist ran away overnight with the formula. Their executives still don’t know about it yet.”
“So today’s new drug conference is destined to become the beginning of Tianxing Group’s disastrous collapse.”
Everyone was stunned. Even An Muyue’s eyes flickered violently.
If the Tianxing Group suffered misfortune, they would naturally be delighted.
One shareholder immediately blurted out, “Mr. Ye, is that true?”
Everyone held their breath, waiting for his answer.
Ye Fan spread his hands. “My money didn’t fall from the sky either. The fact that I massively bought Ankang Group stock yesterday already explains everything.”
“With one side declining while the other rises, our company’s stock price will definitely soar and surpass Tianxing Group to become the number one pharmaceutical stock!”
“And naturally, I’ll earn the profits I deserve.”
The crowd instantly understood.
Right.
For him to invest so heavily at such a critical moment already proved everything.
The oppressive atmosphere in the meeting room vanished instantly, replaced by proud smiles on everyone’s faces.
Ye Fan then stood up and casually brushed nonexistent dust from his clothes.
Giving everyone a wicked smile, he said, “Everyone, Tianxing Group’s huge joke is about to begin. Why don’t we go watch it in person?”
Then he looked toward An Muyue in the main seat. “Ning Xingruo acts so arrogantly. Shouldn’t we go witness her expression later?”
An Muyue’s heart stirred instantly upon hearing that. She slammed the table and stood up.
“Head to Tianxing Group’s New Drug Launch Conference.”
She immediately strode out of the meeting room first.
The others hurriedly followed behind her as a massive convoy of vehicles set off together.
A profound smile appeared on Ye Fan’s face.
After this battle, his plan to win the beauty’s heart had moved another step closer.
