Shangguan Ning certainly understood what he meant by “that function”, because Jing Yichen once mentioned that he had thought that he liked men and had no interest in women.

Her red face that had just returned to normalcy, flushed again. She snapped, “Can’t you just talk properly? Why are you always so... shameless?”

Jing Yichen couldn’t help but bury his face into her neck. Seeing her blush, he chuckled in a low voice. “Ning, we have been married for so long, and I have seen and touched every part of you. Why do you still get shy so easily?”

Shangguan Ning was defeated as she said furiously, “Shut up. Stop talking now. I came to the meeting room to ask you something important, not to be taken advantage by you!”

She paused for a moment and finally relaxed when she saw Jing Yichen paying attention to her words finally.

“What is it going on with Jing Yiran? Why was he here, at work today? Also, why does he have access to all the floors of this building and can go anywhere? Today, he broke into your office and the meeting room.”

Having said the words, Shangguan Ning found Jing Yichen completely quiet. She looked at his face which seemed to have tightened in anger.

She thought that Jing Yichen had become unhappy with her questions. So she asked in concern, “Anything serious? What is it going on? Tell me, now!”

Jing Yichen couldn’t resist any more. A smile hovered on his handsome face as he said, “Didn’t you just ask me to shut up? Now you are asking me to talk again. So fickle!”

Shangguan Ning almost burst into laughter seeing his childish behaviour. She stretched her hand and patted his chest. “I am being serious, can’t you just answer me properly, please?”

Jing Yichen gently helped her button up her blouse as he said smilingly. “Oh, baby, are you worried about me? Half of my properties have been taken away and I am feeling sad. Can you console me? A part of me hurts a lot because of you. Are you so cruel as to let it hurt all the time?”

Shangguan Ning felt that if it continued like this, she would go crazy. She held one of his ears between her fingers. She softly pulled it and said, “Tell me now! Or I will make your ear become as long as those of rabbits!”

His ear didn’t even hurt because she was reluctant to pull it with force. Instead, her touch on it made his desire flare up even more.

He lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead. Instead of joking with her, he said seriously, “Silly girl, don’t worry! How would I be able to handle this complex business empire if I can’t even deal with him!”

He purposefully avoided mentioning the reason why Jing Yiran had got half of the inheritance. Instead, he just told her that he will be able to handle the situation.

But Shangguan Ning wasn’t a dumb woman. The harder he tried to hide, the more suspicious it sounded.

“Then why was he able to get half of the inheritance? It used to be yours only, wasn’t it?” She hated Jing Yiran and as per her, the properties should belong to Jing Yichen, only. He had once said that he was the only heir of Family Jing. Then how did Jing Yiran suddenly become an heir as well?

Seeing his wife efforts at prying, Jing Yichen found it difficult to lie to her. So he patted her smooth hair and said softly, “Father once made few family rules and I broke a couple of them. I not only followed him but also tapped his phone. He found out about it and that was why father forced me to release half of the properties to him.”

Shangguan Ning stayed silent for a moment and asked softly, “You had tapped his phone because of me, right?”

After she had been taken away by Jing Yiran from the hospital last time, Jing Yichen installed GPS system in her phone and necklace so that he could trace her at all times.

Shangguan Ning didn’t want to taste the feeling of being at the brink of death again. So she had agreed to have herself trailed.

But now it seemed that he had tailed Jing Yiran as well.

He had been aware of the family rules but he still breached them. He had never tapped Jing Yiran before no matter how much they fought with each other. But he did it now.

Thinking about what happened during the past few days, Shangguan Ning understood that Jing Yichen did it because he wanted to make sure that she was safe at all times.

He had thrown away half of the properties for her sake.

That was more than hundreds of billions of yuan!

Shangguan Ning never knew that she was worth so much money, at least in his eyes!

Jing Yichen took her into his arms and said softly, “Silly girl, leave yourself out of it. I am the one to be blamed. If you hadn’t married me, you wouldn’t have been the target of that maniac and you wouldn’t be in dangerous situations all the time. Being my woman can be difficult, and it is my duty to protect you.”

“But those properties are yours, he mustn’t have it...” Shangguan Ning had never regarded money as something important. But these assets belonged to Jing Yichen after his mother’s death. How could he let go of them so easily?

“Baby, don’t worry about those properties. For me, just one hair of yours is more important than all of those things put together. As long as you are safe, it doesn’t matter what I lose. What you need to do is to keep yourself safe and leave the rest to me.”

“Also, do you think that getting half of the properties would be so easy? Do you think that anyone can be as capable and controlling as your husband? Jing Yiran doesn’t have the ability and he knows it. That’s why he left the office, depressed today.”

Shangguan Ning leaned her head against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. Hearing him speak so confidently, she felt assured and happy.

This man had done so much for her sake in silence. He would rather give up the things which he had guarded for his entire life just to make sure that she was safe.

All the suffering she went through in the past was worth it as long as she had him for her life!

“But will he come tomorrow again?”

“He will. He will not give up this opportunity to cause disruption. He will do anything that annoys me. He has been doing this since he was young. He will destroy everything that he can’t get for himself.”

That was why he was so worried about Shangguan Ning.

He knew Jing Yiran too well!

If Shangguan Ning didn’t fall for him, Jing Yiran would hurt Shangguan Ning so that she couldn’t be with Yichen!
