Chapter 48: Chapter 48: As Long As You Like It

Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran successively said a few words to the media. Su Yanyi was domineering and aloof, Qin Jiran rational but also strong. After they finished, they didn’t give the media a chance to continue asking questions, holding hands they entered the company, leaving the whole media gang outside, but even so, it was enough to excite the many reporters. Although they were scolded by Queen Su and Best Actor Qin, having a response was good enough, and they didn’t bother with being annoyed, immediately contacting the company.

Not long after, the words they said in front of the company were presented to the public, and people once again realized the strength of Su Yanyi. Some admired her, naturally, there were also those who denigrated her, but there were more praises for Qin Jiran. Who made him appear on the screen as a deeply affectionate man? Although some said Qin Jiran was hyping it up, relying on his acting, many more people were willing to believe that his being with Su Yanyi was true love.

And in fact, what Qin Jiran said was all true. If he did not love Su Yanyi, why would he agree to such a marriage?

As for what Su Yanyi said, it was also completely the truth. Perhaps it was because both of their prides were such that they disdained lying and deceiving the public, so they cleverly used answers that weren’t false to explain the meaning of their marriage.

However, the two’s understanding of each other’s words was significantly different. Qin Jiran felt that Su Yanyi’s words were all to deal with the media and still contained fluff, while Su Yanyi quite believed Qin Jiran’s words and trusted that this man truly loved her. Otherwise, in her past life, why would he have taken such good care of her and remained committed to her?

Qin Jiran didn’t believe but wouldn’t seek verification, thinking that doing so would be humiliating.

Su Yanyi believed, so she didn’t seek verification either, because there was simply no need.

So for the two of them, this matter was considered past. One was left with mixed feelings, the other was feeling pretty good; the former was Qin Jiran, the latter was the overconfident Su Yanyi. However, Su Yanyi’s confidence was also because she had the capability.

In the following days, the couple’s matters were tumultuously gossiped about by the outside world, but both were busy with their own affairs and didn’t bother with those rumors. Among their busy schedules, they also indulged in some of their own little activities.

While interacting with Qin Jiran, Su Yanyi paid closer attention to him, from his dietary habits to his mannerisms, from his way of speaking to his use of daily necessities. In her effort to complete her tasks, Su Yanyi nearly took on the manner of a detective, but despite this, the System did not award her additional points; either they were not satisfactory or they were unqualified, which left Su Yanyi a bit frustrated.

Qin Jiran, on the other hand, had taken on the task of caring for Little Golden Turtle: bathing, feeding, sunbathing. In theory, Little Golden Turtle should have been easy to take care of, but it seemed like the turtle had a hyperactive disorder. It was continuously disappearing somewhere in the villa, making Qin Jiran unable to find it when he wanted to care for it, only for the turtle to reappear languidly crawling out at some unexpected time, sometimes under the bed, sometimes under the sofa, sometimes in the bathroom, sometimes in the study, and it even climbed trees, often falling down from them, leaving people speechless. Yet, the dazed look on Little Golden Turtle’s face, wobbling its head, was indescribably cute, making Qin Jiran quite agree with Su Yanyi’s assessment of the creature—clumsily adorable.

One day, Qin Jiran got home first, prepared dinner and waited for Su Yanyi. Glancing left and right, he noticed that Little Golden Turtle had gone missing again, so he went to look for it. At that time, Su Yanyi just got back, saw the dinner laid out on the table but no one around, then went to find Qin Jiran. When she found Qin Jiran, he had just found Little Golden Turtle too, holding its shell and speaking to it.

"Xiao Meng, maybe I should get you a compass for your back to prevent you from always getting lost at home," Qin Jiran eyed Little Golden Turtle seriously, joking as he spoke. Su Yanyi, seeing this, truly found it very funny.

"If you don’t like it roaming around, then put it in a cage or a fish tank," Su Yanyi interjected. Animal rights were not a thing in her book; there was no need to consider their freedom at all.

"I bought it a fish tank and placed it in my study, but it ran out on its own again," Qin Jiran said somewhat helplessly. It was his first time encountering such an amazing little turtle that disliked staying in a fish tank and always preferred wandering about.

"You could use a covered fish tank," Su Yanyi suggested. She had never raised small animals and didn’t understand these things at all.

Qin Jiran smiled and said, "If it likes to come out, let it come out. I always feel that free-range might be healthier."

"If you like it, that’s fine," Su Yanyi had no objections. She didn’t know what species this little creature was; she guessed it probably wouldn’t be so easy to die. However Qin Jiran liked to raise it was fine with her.

When Qin Jiran heard Su Yanyi’s words, he was visibly taken aback for a moment, but he quickly recovered and revealed a happy smile.

That very night, the Wang Family finally confirmed that their company had been secretly acquired. They immediately took measures to defend and counterattack, but they had already lost the initiative and had leaked quite a few shares. As they traced the clues, they found that it seemed to be not just one group of people involved. There was the shadow of the Su family, and there seemed to be a newly-established venture capital firm as well. It was uncertain whether their real intention was to target the Wang Family’s company or to kick them while they were down to make a profit. But regardless of the reason, this was enough to add to the Wang Family’s predicament.

Su Yanmo called Su Yanyi that night to report on his situation and also to share some of the developments on Qin Jiran’s side. Su Yanyi was very pleased to hear it.

"Brother, there’s no need to hurry with the execution. Let the people from the Wang Family live in dread for a while. That kind of taste is not so easy to endure," Su Yanyi said. In dealing with the Wang Family, she didn’t want to topple them in one fell swoop, but to torment the people of the Wang Family, letting them watch helplessly as they lost everything bit by bit until they had nothing left!

"Okay, I’ll listen to you."

"Thanks, brother. Do you have anything else?"

"...It’s about your brother-in-law. His company is doing well, and I have a deal coming up. If you have no objections, I’d like to work with him." Since his little sister had already acknowledged Qin Jiran’s presence, as her big brother, he naturally treated Qin Jiran as family. As the saying goes, water flows inwards, not outwards—money should be made together.

Upon hearing Big Brother Su’s words, Su Yanyi immediately understood his intentions and responded promptly, "Of course, I have no objections. With you leading him, I can rest assured."

"Then I’ll get in touch with him."

"Great, thanks, brother." Such a decision not only represented business cooperation but also recognition and support for Qin Jiran. This was something Su Yanyi was delighted to see and naturally wouldn’t disagree with.
