Yue Tingfeng released Yan Qingsi and climbed off the bed to answer his call outside.

Yan Qingsi opened her eyes as she looked at him curiously, this phone call seemed important.

Company trading secrets you know. Im not sure if I could let both of you in on it. I dont mind you knowing at all. This man, however, happens to be my romantic rival. I dont think I can let him know any of it. Yue Tingfeng said while tilting his chin upwards

Yue Tingfeng walked out the door with a proud stride. However, he had only taken a step out the door only to turn back and said, I will be answering my call outside, both of you better behave yourselves and stay honest to me. Dont let me catch you both flirting or else I will have both your heads.

Helan Fangnian smiled and shook his head.

After Yue Tingfeng had walked out of the room, Helan Fangnian asked, So, do you love him?

I dont want to tell you. Yan Qingsi shook her head as she replied.

He looked over to Qingsi with a hint of sadness and simply said, I understand.

If she does not love him, she could have just replied with a simple no. However, by replying with what she had just now, she most probably had some serious conflicting feelings of her own.

Her best friend and her lover are in the same room as her.

Life seemed to take joy in irony, always exceeding ones expectations.

Yue Tingfengs shadow was projected onto the wall at the end of the hallway. The blurry light made his shadow seem larger than usual. He had a cold look on his face. A sinister glare could be seen through his eyes, it was as if he was a completely different person when he was with Yan Qingsi.

It was exactly as you predicted. After Yan Songnan was apprehended, the first thing he did was snitch on Miss. Yan. On top of that, hed even presented the recording of Yan Qingsis request for her murder. It looks like he already had a contingency planned way beforehand. However, seeing Ye Lingzhi is all fine now, that recording could not be presented as evidence. Jiang Lai said through the phone.

Ye Lingzhi went to meet up with Yan Songnan earlier today, although they parted on bad terms. Im just afraid that they might team up, and if they did, it will put Miss. Yan in a very bad position. Jiang Lai added.

Yue Tingfeng squinted his eyes and said, Then just roofie her drink. That will make her absolutely resent Yan Songnan.

What do you mean?Jiang Lai asked.

I mean, place a wedge against them. Use Nie Qiupings death as a wedge. Also, include that dead secretary that worked for him all those years ago. That way, it will completely fracture any truces they both had for each other. Pit them against each other, thatll make them reveal everything on their own! Yue Tingfeng explained.

A mad man like Yan Songnan would drool over the thought of having another safeguard. If he eventually falls, he would have another person to cushion his fall. Nie Qiupings death had always been their deepest darkest secret both sworn to take to their graves. To break them, only one of them would be required to crack and both of them will eventually implode in their cover-up.

Yue Tingfeng had tasked Jiang Lai to research any information related to Yan Qingsis mothers death. Although her death was ruled as suicide, the truth would always be more than it seems on the surface. By digging deeper, Jiang Lai had found out Yan Qingsis mother was being threatened by someone. Without any other options, she jumped off a building. Her death was never a suicide. It was an intentional homicide.

Yue Tingfeng had seemingly understood Yan Qingsi even more than he did before. If it was as simple as revenge, she would not have waited and bide her time for so long.

She does not only want simple vengeance, what she wanted was to also reveal the truth to the world of her mothers death and to return her mothers honor.

Nie Qiuping was never the mistress and she had never destroyed anyones family. She happened to be a mother desperately trying to defend her child!

Upon hanging up, Yue Tingfeng returned to the room and noticed that Yan Qingsi was already asleep while Helan Fangnian was lying on his side.

He went ahead and slept beside Yan Qingsi. He stretched his arm around her waist, spooning her as he closed his eyes thinking about that conversation earlier.

It was 1 in the morning, the room was dead silent as Helan Fangnian too was fast asleep. However, Yue Tingfengs eyes suddenly sprung open, he got up and carried Yan Qingsi on his back all within seconds.

This sudden act had woken Yan Qingsi up from her deep slumber instantly, she noticed she was laying on top of Yue Tingfengs back. Surprised and shocked, she asked, What on earth are you doing?

With an empty look, he simply answered, Doing something I wanted to a long time ago.

My daughter in law, why are you going there anyway? I worked hard to help you out, stop pulling my leg girl! Said Mama Yue.
