Otherwise, what should she talk to him about? Discuss how his wedding preparations are going?

The slight sadness on her face was captured entirely in his eyes.

He frowned slightly, then said slowly, "Some things are inconvenient to say in the office, but you can say them now."

She suddenly trembled, abruptly turning back to stare at him.

He felt somewhat creepy under her gaze and hurriedly lowered his head to take a sip of coffee to calm himself.

Yet she continued to stare at him intently, her gaze growing brighter: "You mean, your office is bugged, isn’t it?"

He heard his heart skip a beat.

Little girl, the Tang Family’s little girl, why is she so perceptive?

He then slowly met her gaze, using indifference to face her inquiry: "You’re overthinking. I don’t know why you’d think that."

She gently gritted her teeth: "Because I’ve also set up surveillance devices in your office before. That time when you came clean with me, your expressions and eyes were exactly the same as now!"

His heart jolted again, realizing that it was his micro-expressions that betrayed him.

One can control large body movements and facial expressions, yet cannot control fleeting micro-expressions.

He carefully met her eyes: "You’re mistaken. That’s my office, not just anyone can install whatever they want in there."

Yan Jian sneered: "Don’t forget, I’ve done it; then others are even more likely to succeed!"

"Who?" He avoided her gaze, rolling his eyes dismissively: "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

His attitude made her grit her teeth in anger. She looked around, then whispered, "Lin Qi and his father!"

The method she could think of, how could Lin Qi and his father not think of it? Besides, they are people within the company, with the advantage of perfect timing and conditions.

James laughed disdainfully: "There you go again! In the office, you want to bring up Catherine’s car accident to frame Little Ben; now you want to continue sowing discord between me and the Lin father and son... Tang Yanjian, you are truly vengeful, refusing to stop until your goal is achieved, huh?"

Yan Jian looked at his opening and closing, cold and ruthless mouth, couldn’t help but retort: "I wish they would collude inside and out to cheat you out of everything, preferably leaving you with nothing to rest in peace!"

It was foolish of her, to come to remind him again after her grandfather’s stern warning!

His life or death, what business was it of hers?

She was so angry her face turned red, her eyes filled not just with anger, but with a hint of... heartbreak.

It was this hint of heartbreak that kept him from saying more cold words he originally intended.

He actually wanted to tell her: Ending the agreement with her wasn’t because he really rejected her, rather—once he clearly understood his feelings for her, he could no longer treat her in that way.

He couldn’t do it anymore. Once moved, even the ability to pretend was lost. And he feared that once he couldn’t maintain the facade, she would see through his heart.

No, he didn’t dare.

He didn’t dare let her know he loved her.

He took a deep breath: "The fact that you say this proves that you actually don’t want to see me left with nothing, right." He took a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure as he looked up to gaze at her: "Tell me, why don’t you want me to die at the hands of Lin Qi and his father?"

Yan Jian was also startled, suddenly sitting up straight, with an impulse to leave quickly.

She carefully held herself back, then slowly said: "...Jieyou."

She couldn’t help but pinch herself: Oh, Tang Yanjian, you really have some nerve. Whenever you can’t think of a more reasonable reason regarding matters with him, you always bring up little Jieyou.

He raised an eyebrow: "Jieyou? What’s up with Jieyou?"

Yan Jian felt her lips dry, and even after taking several big gulps of orange tea, they still felt dry. She couldn’t help but lick her lips several times before saying with difficulty: "Because... you’re Jieyou’s uncle, and I am Jieyou’s aunt. From Jieyou’s perspective, we’re family, so I can’t just stand by and do nothing!"

He was amused by her, unable to stop laughing.

Look how clever she is, such a far-fetched reason, yet it somehow sounds reasonable.

Finally, he finished laughing, coldly raising his eyes to stare at her: "I see, you’re trying to say that because of Jieyou, from now on, we’re siblings. Siblings can’t repeat what happened between us before, you want to use this to protect yourself, right?"
