Chapter 400: Chapter 426, Can’t Bear to Leave Me?

Bai Jingjing’s jade hands gently caressed Fang Yi’s chest, his wheat-colored skin glistening slightly without a trace of excess fat—strong and masculine, yet not overly exaggerated, exactly what Bai Jingjing liked.

At that moment, Fang Yi seemed to answer his own rhetorical question softly, "Now, in Moon City, the five major factions stand in opposition, but I think some alliances have existed for too long, and it’s time for them to change names and owners. Give me a month, and these major alliances in Moon City will be no more."

Bai Jingjing’s eyes lit up, "Are you planning to take action against the other four alliances?"

Fang Yi said, "It’s about time."

Bai Jingjing said, "But besides the Vermilion Bird Alliance, the other three alliances are backed by powerful families. If you truly go to war, you’ll be opposing those families. Are you prepared for that?"

Fang Yi smiled slightly, "You can’t wait until everything is prepared before you act. Plans can’t keep up with changes. However, you have to believe in your man. When the time comes, you’ll be the wife of the Hierarch of the five major alliances—that’s quite prestigious, isn’t it?"

Bai Jingjing, with her jade face pressed against Fang Yi’s chest, gently rubbed it and said, "Since that’s the case, I should give you some encouragement."

"Encouragement?" Fang Yi didn’t catch on for a moment.

But in the next moment, Fang Yi understood.

Bai Jingjing lifted her face, her bright, sparkling eyes staring at Fang Yi and blinking charmingly.

"Jingjing, you..."

"You’re my man, enjoy it." Bai Jingjing said with a flushed face, shy beyond measure as it was her first time.

...

Now with the Longtu Group, Fang Yi could come and go as he pleased—this was what Shen Binnan had allowed. Therefore, Fang Yi had plenty of time to immerse himself in his newly opened company.

But this couldn’t last forever, and ultimately Fang Yi decided to bring Zhou Peilan over.

Hearing that Fang Yi was looking for her, Zhou Peilan was overjoyed. She immediately dressed up beautifully in a business suit that was both simple and neat. Upon arriving at the company, she caught Fang Yi’s eye.

"Fang Yi," Zhou Peilan’s face was radiant, her eyes containing a hint of bashfulness.

"Peilan," Fang Yi also smiled, "You look really beautiful today."

Zhou Peilan shyly looked down and smiled. At long last, she had received Fang Yi’s compliments. Zhou Peilan was naturally happy, feeling that today’s earnest efforts in dressing up were not in vain, basking in a heartfelt sweetness.

He brought Zhou Peilan into the office tower—the designated headquarters for his company. Fang Yi briefly introduced her to the place, and Zhou Peilan was incredibly surprised upon learning that Fang Yi intended to leave it in her charge.

"You...me..." Zhou Peilan’s pretty face was flustered, unsure of what to do.

"What’s with this you and me talk? What’s mine is yours. Since you haven’t returned to Longtu Group anyway, I’ll leave this place for you to manage. Isn’t that good?" Fang Yi said with a smile.

Looking at the smile on Fang Yi’s face, Zhou Peilan gently bit her lip, then nodded heavily.

Having received Zhou Peilan’s agreement, Fang Yi could finally be a hands-off manager.

Fang Yi had total faith in Zhou Peilan’s abilities. Back at the business department of Longtu Group, Zhou Peilan’s performance had always been in the top three. As for management skills, Fang Yi felt it was time to find someone to assist Zhou Peilan.

Thinking it over, Fang Yi couldn’t come up with a suitable candidate, so he asked Zhou Peilan if she had anyone in mind. Zhou Peilan smiled faintly and suggested that Ding Miaoyan would meet his requirements.

"But that would be poaching talent, which seems unfair to Shen Binnan," Fang Yi said with a wry smile.

"With your relationship with President Shen, that’s nothing," Zhou Peilan said, a sly twinkle in her eyes.

Fang Yi was momentarily taken aback, not immediately grasping the meaning of her words, but as soon as he noticed the cunning in Zhou Peilan’s eyes, he understood—Zhou Peilan also knew that his relationship with Shen Binan was out of the ordinary.

From this, Fang Yi realized that these women, though seemingly harmless on the surface, were all quite shrewd at heart.

However, as Zhou Peilan had said, Fang Yi thought it was doable. After all, Longtu Group was a large and wealthy company. If Fang Yi poached Ding Miaoyan, Shen Binan would probably agree.

Deciding to act on the idea, Fang Yi immediately went to Longtu Group after bidding farewell to Zhou Peilan. Once he found Shen Binan and explained his purpose, she smiled enchantingly and asked, "You say you want Ding Miaoyan?"

Fang Yi felt a chill at her smile and said, "Well... I think there is room for negotiation. Look at this..."

"Sure," Shen Binan replied.

But Fang Yi was on high alert, wary that Shen Binan had agreed so quickly—this was definitely not a good sign. Shen Binan knew Fang Yi well, but he also understood her; where things are abnormal, there must be demons.

"How about this," Shen Binan suddenly changed her tack, her gorgeous and fair face wearing an eerily strange smile. "Why not take me as well?"

Fang Yi was dumbfounded.

Truly, he was dumbstruck. Shen Binan’s unusual behavior made Fang Yi incredibly vigilant.

Fang Yi took a deep breath, then walked around the desk and reached out to touch Shen Binan’s forehead, but she deflected his hand, her eyebrows instantly furrowing, "What are you doing!"

"Nothing, just want to see if you have a fever," Fang Yi replied.

Shen Binan rolled her eyes, "I don’t have a fever."

Fang Yi continued, "If you don’t have a fever, then you’re..."

"Teasing you?"

Shen Binan smiled sweetly, "Actually, I’m not just teasing you. I understand that your company needs staff right now, but you coming here to poach from me, isn’t that a bit too disrespectful?"

Fang Yi lamented, "I had thought that given our shared trials and tribulations, you would understand me. Oh heaven, oh earth, to think that you would be so ruthless~~~"

Shen Binan couldn’t help but roll her eyes again, crossing her arms over her ample chest, "Enough with that sorrowful act, it seems you don’t get my meaning. Let me speak plainly, I want to invest."

Fang Yi was startled, "Invest?"

Shen Binan nodded, "Rest assured, I won’t take the majority; I’ll have less than you. Just let me invest in your company, and Ding Miaoyan, Huo Xiaoxuan, whoever you wish to send, I won’t have any objections."

Looking at Shen Binan’s smiling face, Fang Yi pondered for a moment before his lips curled up, "Alright, but I have a question for you."

"Go ahead."

"By doing this, are you saying you can’t bear to part with me?" Fang Yi asked with a harmless, beaming smile.

Shen Binan, as if her secret had been exposed, the smile on her face swiftly retracted.

Immediately, her icy, fair face grew solemn, "No!"

But Fang Yi just laughed heartily, "To explain is to cover up, I already know the answer."

Fang Yi laughed arrogantly, delighted, while Shen Binan’s cheeks flushed red with vexation. However, one question remained—was she really doing this because she couldn’t bear the thought of him leaving?
