Qin Xuan, worried that the Tan family might harm Tantai Yue, took her directly back to the villa in the upper city.
It was already midnight when they returned to the villa, and Qin Lin had already gone to bed.
Qin Xuan pulled Tantai Yue to sit on the sofa, his body close to hers.
Although they had been married for three years, they had very little physical contact, and Tantai Yue couldn't help but feel a little shy.
In front of Tantai Yue, Qin Xuan was also a bit flustered, and the air fell into an awkward silence for a while.
After a long moment, Qin Xuan finally spoke,
"Um... Tantai, you should live here from now on, don't go back."
Tantai Yue rubbed her hands and said with a blush,
"We... we're divorced, it's not good to live together."
As Tantai Yue said this, Qin Xuan wished he could slap himself twice. He quickly said,
"Tantai, I will definitely compensate you with a grand wedding, I promise. For now, just stay here. Otherwise, I'm afraid someone might harm you."
After the recent events, Qin Xuan vaguely felt that someone was targeting Tantai Yue.
It was very likely Jin Shikai.
Tantai Yue hadn't offended anyone in Jiangbei, so there was no need for anyone to constantly target her.
Therefore, it was most likely Jin Shikai.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan clenched his fists, making a creaking sound.
Tantai Yue sensed something was wrong with Qin Xuan's demeanor. She quickly held his hands and said softly,
"Qin Xuan, don't do anything foolish! If something happens to you, and I'm left alone, my life will be meaningless."
Tantai Yue now truly understood that in this world, only Qin Xuan genuinely cared for her and loved her.
Even her own parents saw her as nothing more than a machine to provide them with money.
If Qin Xuan were gone, Tantai Yue really didn't know how she would go on living.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to jump off the building last time.
Qin Xuan pulled Tantai Yue into his arms and whispered,
"Don't worry, Tantai. We will definitely have a happy life together."
"Mhm, I believe you." Tantai Yue also gently hugged Qin Xuan's back, resting her head on his shoulder.
After a moment of tenderness, Tantai Yue, blushing, said in Qin Xuan's ear,
"Qin Xuan, it's getting cold now. I'm a bit cold sleeping alone at night."
"Cold?" Qin Xuan released her, scratched the back of his head, and asked confusedly,
"That's strange, the air conditioning in your room is the warmest. How can you be cold?"
"Perhaps I should ask Linlin to sleep with you? It should be warmer if you two share."
Hearing this, Tantai Yue instantly broke free from Qin Xuan's embrace, stood up, stomped her foot angrily,
"Qin Xuan, you idiot! Hmph."
With that, she stormed upstairs.
Qin Xuan looked at Tantai Yue's retreating back, puzzled. Why was she suddenly angry? He was clearly concerned about her.
Did the air conditioner in her room break?
He'd find an air conditioner repairman to check Tantai's room tomorrow.
At this moment, if Tantai Yue knew Qin Xuan's thoughts, she would probably explode with anger.
"Qin Xuan, are you awake? Qin Xuan."
The next morning, as soon as dawn broke, Qin Xuan, who had been cultivating all night, suddenly heard Tantai Yue's voice outside the door.
Qin Xuan quickly stopped cultivating and opened the door, seeing Tantai Yue standing at the door in a loose nightgown.
"Tantai, what's wrong? Don't you want to sleep in a bit longer? You're up so early."
Tantai Yue didn't speak. She walked forward, hugged Qin Xuan, and tears began to stream down her face as she sobbed.
Qin Xuan frowned slightly and gently stroked Tantai Yue's back, comforting her.
"Tantai, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Tantai Yue looked up at Qin Xuan, still crying, and said,
"Qin Xuan, the Tan family's company was suppressed by someone. Overnight, they lost over a hundred million yuan, and the company is on the verge of collapse. The Tan family threatened me with my parents and asked me to sell your villa and give them the money to cover the company's deficit, otherwise my parents would be ruined, woo woo woo..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan wiped the tears from Tantai Yue's face and smiled,
"I thought it was something big. That's all? Then let's sell it."
Tantai Yue looked at Qin Xuan with a stunned gaze, then shook her head and said,
"No, this villa is the only property you and Linlin have. We can't sell it."
Qin Xuan smiled,
"It's just a house. For you, a house is nothing."
"But..."
"No 'buts'." Qin Xuan waved his hand and smiled,
"Don't worry, your husband has money. It's just that we won't use the money to fill the Tan family's company's loopholes. We'll start our own company."
"Start a company?" Tantai Yue's beautiful face was filled with question marks.
Qin Xuan smiled,
"Yes. Don't you believe in your own abilities?"
In Tantai Yue's previous role at the Tan family's company, every project she handled had brought significant profits to the company.
Qin Xuan had witnessed Tantai Yue's capabilities firsthand. With her abilities, she was fully capable of holding a higher position.
It was just that being in the Tan family's company for so long, and being suppressed by her own family, had always limited her opportunities for advancement.
Tantai Yue had been in the workforce for so many years, and she had always wanted to start her own company. However, just having the desire wasn't enough. The money she earned over the years had been spent by her parents, leaving her with no funds to start her own business.
Qin Xuan saw through Tantai Yue's concerns and added,
"Tantai, you don't need to worry about the money. I'll find a way for you. I can borrow from the Wang family. I cured Old Master Wang, so with that connection, borrowing some money should be no problem. Tantai, with your abilities, you can definitely run a company. By then, we'll just acquire the Tan family's company! See what they can do to threaten you then."
Tantai Yue was indeed tempted. Having her own company would mean she wouldn't have to work under anyone's thumb anymore.
"Qin Xuan, then my parents..."
"Don't worry, they wouldn't dare do anything to your parents. Once our company is established, we'll simply take over the Tan family's company. Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't have the strength."
Tantai Yue knew this was an opportunity, a chance to succeed. Once successful, her life with Qin Xuan would be completely happy. She nodded resolutely,
"Qin Xuan, I definitely won't disappoint you."
In Jiangbei City, in a high-end coffee shop.
Qin Xuan sat opposite a beautiful woman who was outstanding in both appearance and figure.
Wang Yuyan took a sip of the coffee Qin Xuan had ordered for her, crossed her legs, and swayed her shiny silver high heels. She smiled coyly,
"You actually asked me out, and in this couple-themed coffee shop. Tsk tsk tsk, you don't have some ideas about me, do you?"
Qin Xuan heard her, looked around, and indeed, he noticed that most of the customers were couples, and the name of the coffee shop was "Fate Coffee."
