The Tycoon Has A Secret Crush On Me

Chapter 986: Chapter 1012: Want to Stay

The courtyard housed few girls, pitiable in number. There was Xia Shi, but since she looked down on him, he never bothered to put up a warm face to her cold backside.

Ye Ranran was different, though. She loved Jun Mochan, adored everything he cherished, and accepted all of him.

"Don’t be sending glances my way, madam. I am Zeng Taisong," said the man next to Zhou Xian. He had a handsome and astute appearance—one could tell at a glance he was no simple character.

"Taisong is based overseas and is very familiar with the affairs of Country M. I had him investigate, and today he’s back, so we can analyze the situation."

"I met with Xia Qing today, and she mentioned there’s a way to change someone’s testimony. Did someone say something?" Ye Ranran inquired.

All three pairs of eyes were focused on her, each more piercing than the last—Ye Ranran dared not meet their gaze.

"Did she mention anyone in particular?" Jun Mochan asked gently, a hint of a smile crossing his lips.

"No, she said she’d only talk if Xia Yi would acknowledge his ancestors and return to the family."

"That’s outrageous."

"Shameless."

The former comment was from Zhou Xian; the latter from Zeng Taisong.

Because of that remark, Ye Ranran’s regard for him increased significantly.

"Mhm, you’re right, she is indeed shameless. But it’s not surprising—if she had any decency, she wouldn’t have become a mistress," Ye Ranran said with a smile.

She liked these people because she didn’t feel rejected by them. It was as if they were old friends she had known for a long time—relaxed, no pressure.

She knew this was thanks to Jun Mochan.

She didn’t know how he had convinced them, but if they could accept her, she could accept them.

The world of the Jun family was supported by them.

"Okay, you’ve delivered the message. Isn’t it time you headed back to the company? The meeting starts in half an hour," Jun Mochan reminded Ye Ranran.

The meeting could be postponed—Ye Ranran knew he didn’t want her to hear.

She wanted to stay.

"Ranran, I’ll handle it. Don’t ask too many questions, alright?"

"Alright," said Ye Ranran as she stood up and left without hesitation.

Zeng Taisong stroked his chin: "The lady sure is straightforward."

Any other woman would surely dawdle, coquettishly insisting on knowing the details.

When a man has secrets, a woman never feels at ease, thinking he doesn’t trust her, that he can’t tell her.

"Ranran isn’t clingy or sticky,"

"Alright, alright, we get that you’re happy. Don’t rub it in. We’re two lonely souls here. Let’s get back to business," Zeng Taisong couldn’t stand Jun Mochan’s satisfied expression.

Yet he was also surprised; having followed Jun Mochan for quite some time and occasionally returning from abroad, he had never seen him smile so happily.

It seemed Zhou Xian was right—their young madam was not ordinary.

"From the news that Ranran just brought, our earlier analysis wasn’t wrong. It’s likely that the Song Family, Xia Qing, or possibly a joint scheme by the two, orchestrated this whole affair," Jun Mochan said gravely as the topic turned serious.

"They’ll surely be in contact moving forward. I’ll keep a close watch on the comings and goings at the border, narrowing down the suspects," Zeng Taisong affirmed with determination.

"I examined the evidence. The reason the young master is slandered is merely because of a failed mission. There were people from Country M visiting his room, leading everyone to suspect a leak and resulting in the failure of the entire mission."

The evidence seemed impeccable, the video verified as genuine. There were eyewitnesses, and everything pointed to Huo Yi colluding with people from Country M.

"We haven’t met the young master, and those people all say he confessed. I don’t know the exact situation, but I’ll sneak over later to take a look and contact someone inside," Zhou Xian said.
