"Jian Ran, this is my bank card. The password is 131224. You can decide what you want to buy at home. "
Several hours had already passed, and Jian Ran's ears were still ringing with the words of her newlywed husband when he passed her a bank card before they left the room in the morning.
To be honest, she knew very little about the man who was her husband.
Other than him personally telling her that his surname was Qin, she didn't know anything else about him. She didn't even know much about his family.
Jian Ran didn't know where she got the guts to marry a man she had only met twice before.
Ten days ago, with the warm help of her best friend Ling Feiyu, Jian Ran stepped onto the road of matchmaking the first time, and met this man called Qin Yue.
She didn't have any hopes of getting revenge. After all, after being framed three years ago, she didn't have the qualification to be picky. She could only be picky with others.
Because she couldn't be picky about others, she was fifteen minutes early on the day of the blind date.
If they couldn't gain an advantage in terms of their own conditions, they could only perform better in other areas, hoping to leave a good impression on the other party.
Marry yourself if you can meet the right man, and you can put your parents at ease.
The man she was going to meet was neither too early nor too late.
The man dressed in the formal attire made others feel that he attached great importance to this blind date, making Jian Ran feel that her first impression of him was not bad.
The way he greeted was also very normal. "Miss Jian, hello! I am Qin Yue. "
It was a very normal sentence, but because his voice was extremely magnetic, it made Jian Ran feel that it was unusually nice to hear.
After a simple and ordinary conversation, the two politely left their phone numbers before leaving.
With the number of blind dates, Jian Ran did not think much of this one either.
She thought that this blind date would end up the same as many times before, but unexpectedly, she received a call from Qin Yue two days later.
His voice was still polite and respectful, "Miss Jian, are you free tonight?"
That night, Qin Yue invited her to a Sichuan cuisine restaurant for dinner.
Jian Ran didn't really like such an awkward situation like matchmaking, so she spoke very little during the banquet.
Originally, she wanted to find an excuse to leave first. After some hesitation, Qin Yue spoke up first: "Miss Jian, I have time next Wednesday, so how about we go get the marriage certificate?"
"What, what kind of certificate?" Jian Ran was shocked by Qin Yue's words.
"The marriage certificate." he repeated, in a tone so serious that it didn't sound like a joke at all.
"A marriage certificate?" Jian Ran still could not believe what she had heard. She placed her hand on her thigh and pinched it hard, confirming that she was not dreaming. Only then did she seriously size up the man in front of her.
Qin Yue had a pair of thick, sword-like eyebrows, bright and spirited eyes, and even more so, the shape of his face was as beautiful as if it were carved. He was one of those that could be found in the crowd of tens of thousands of people.
This was the second time they had met and he had said that he wanted to marry her?
Then, the man's low and magnetic voice reached her ears, "I thought Miss Jian was the same as me. The purpose of dating is to form a family, marry and have children, and lead a 'normal' life."
"That's right, I think so, but it's only the second time we've met, don't you think that's too fast?" Jian Ran had told her own thoughts. She had wanted to have her own family, but she had never thought that they would be so hasty.
"It is indeed rather fast." Qin Yue's expression remained calm as he continued, "After our first meeting, I went back to consider for two days. The first feeling Miss Jian gave me was not bad. I personally felt that the two of us didn't have any conflict in personality, so I wanted to give it a try. "
Jian Ran slightly frowned, and was a little displeased: "Marriage is not a child's play in my opinion. Try it? "If you don't try well, do you want …"
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Qin Yue interrupted her: "Miss Jian, we are all adults, so naturally we would not expect a love that doesn't exist. We clearly know what we want in our hearts."
Jian Ran did not reply, she stared straight at Qin Yue's face.
From the surface, this man seemed calm and unassuming, as if he was a good match for marriage.
However, could she really place the rest of her life in the hands of this man she had only met twice?
Is it really possible?
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Yue continued: "Perhaps I was too anxious, and did not consider your feelings. If Miss Jian thinks that I am still okay, you can go back and think about it.
After returning home that day, Jian Ran had been thinking about this the entire night.
She had to admit that she shared the same view as Qin Yue regarding certain points of view, such as the impossible love.
After being so deeply hurt, she could no longer believe that there was love in the world.
The next morning, Jian Ran dialed Qin Yue's number and agreed to his proposal.
That morning, Jian Ran took the household book and in the afternoon, they went to the Marriage Registration Office to register with each other.
When she and Qin Yue walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with their marriage certificate, she had a kind of indescribable feeling in her heart.
It was said that marriage was a woman's second life, and now it seemed that it was not as simple as it seemed. The nine pieces of Nine Collars Certificate had carved a special imprint that belonged to Qin Yue in her life.
Yesterday was the day Jian Ran moved to Qin Yue's apartment.
Last night, Qin Yue had also acted very well, and took the initiative to leave the master bedroom for her to rest, while he rested in the other bedroom.
Jian Ran never thought that Qin Yue would actually give his bank card to her before he left for work today.
She still didn't understand him, so how could he be so confident about handing over all his possessions to her?
"Jian Ran, all the reporters from the major media are waiting inside. The people from the board of directors and the new CEO are about to arrive, what are you staring at now? "
The manager of the PR Department, Xu Youai's stern voice interrupted Jian Ran's train of thought, causing her to retract his train of thoughts. He spoke with a serious attitude: "Manager Xu, I'm sorry, I will pay attention."
Xu Youai looked at Jian Ran, and said sternly: "Jian Ran, although you are Operations Department's employee, your manager has sent you here to assist our Public Relations Department, you better watch out, and not hold me back."
Jian Ran pursed her lips and nodded: "Manager Xu, I was distracted just now, I would never let this happen again."
Xu Youai looked at Jian Ran again before turning his gaze away. He then clapped his hands and called the staff who were in charge of receiving the guests to come over.
"Everyone, keep your spirits up. We must have a beautiful press conference today. We can't afford even the slightest mistake." As Xu Youai spoke, he looked at every single staff member seriously.
"Yes." The PR Department that was in charge of receiving the guests and the colleagues that were sent to support them replied in unison.
Xu Youai's gaze landed on Jian Ran in the end, "Jian Ran, I heard that you are the best employee in your profession. In a while, you will follow beside the new CEO and take charge of his work. You don't have to worry about other matters. "
Jian Ran nodded her head, but before she replied, Ma Dannuo, a look of schadenfreude appeared on her face "Jian Ran, if our new CEO is not married, will you get lucky?"
To put it nicely, there was a chance to get close to the new CEO, but everyone knew that this was a hot potato, and no one was willing to pick Jian Ran up.
Xu Youai said with a straight face as he glared at Ma Dannuo, "Today might be related to the rest of us staying and staying, you guys better be more serious."
After being scolded by Xu Youai, no one made a sound. Jian Ran took a deep breath quietly, trying her best to get into her best condition.
It couldn't be blamed that Xu Youai was nervous, since this matter happened so suddenly.
Just when everyone thought that the company was at peace, the board of directors suddenly released a message that the CEO was going to be taken over by a new person.
However, the incoming big BOSS was extremely mysterious. The people in charge of each department had tried to ask about it through various channels, but they hadn't found any information about it.
Jian Ran was not a person who liked to join in on the fun, so she could not help but stretch her neck out to look at the entrance, wanting to see who this big boss was.
"He's here, he's here! All the directors and new CEO s are here!" The receptionist's voice came from the walkie-talkie into the ears of all the staff.
The colleagues couldn't help but straighten their clothes and respectfully stood at their posts.
Jian Ran followed closely behind Xu Youai, welcoming the mysterious big BOSS that everyone was waiting for.
After taking a few steps, he saw a man wearing a silver-gray suit. He was escorted by a few men in black suits. The man walked with graceful steps in the direction of the publication hall.
It didn't matter if she looked, but once she looked, Jian Ran was stunned.
The tall man who walked right in front of the crowd and wore a silver grey suit was clearly her new husband — — Qin Yue!
"Impossible!" Jian Ran thought that she was hallucinating and immediately closed her eyes and shook her head to wake up.
But when she opened her eyes and looked again, that man's appearance still hadn't changed.
If it was someone else, she might have been mistaken, but this was her new husband, so she couldn't be mistaken.
His face was as perfect as a knife. He had a height of 1.8 meters, a muscular build, and an unwittingly noble elegance as he walked.
Either way, the man was exactly the same as her new husband.
"Q-Qin Yue?!" Jian Ran glared at the man and subconsciously called out his name.
As if hearing her voice, the man's gaze shifted to her.
Facing his gaze, Jian Ran was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe.
She would never have thought that her 'ordinary' newlywed husband would suddenly become the new CEO of her company.
She looked at him, her head buzzing like a bloomed flower.
The man's gaze stayed on her for a moment before shifting away. It was so cold that it seemed as if he didn't know her at all.
In the face of his indifference, Jian Ran's heart quickly sank.
He was clearly Qin Yue, her new husband. Why was he looking at her with such a cold gaze?
In just a short moment, all sorts of thoughts had flashed across Jian Ran's mind.
The closest thing to reality was that she thought this moment was a dream. An unrealistic dream.
Qin Yue was always gentle and refined, his speech and actions were very polite, he would never pretend not to know her.
She quickly pinched herself, and the pain made her twitch her mouth. She then realized that this was not a dream, but what she had just experienced.
Since this wasn't a dream, then there was another possibility. It was that this man only had the same face as Qin Yue, but was actually completely different from him.
Xu Youai forcefully pulled Jian Ran and scolded her in a low voice: "Jian Ran, what kind of occasion is this, what are you doing?"
Jian Ran was like she had just awoken from a dream, and she was slightly annoyed.
Xu Youai scolded her in a small voice: "Hurry up and catch up."
Jian Ran nodded and quickly followed behind the new CEO. At the same time, she had already concealed her own emotions and was using her professional identity to face the BOSS who looked like her new husband.
Xu Youai quickened his pace to catch up to the group of the new CEO, and opened the door of the reporter reception hall for them: "Please welcome all the directors and new CEO!"
Just as Xu Youai's loud and passionate voice fell, the huge press conference hall burst into applause. Everyone stared at the entrance, waiting for the mysterious big BOSS to appear.
Jian Ran quietly took a deep breath and followed closely behind the big BOSS. When the big BOSS sat down, she neatly handed over the information she had prepared.
Even if she had professional upbringing, the impact of the company's new BOSS being her new husband was still too great. Her hands accidentally trembled and the data in her hands dropped off two books.
Just as Jian Ran was about to squat down and pick up the folder that dropped, Qin Yue bent down to pick it up before she could, and then heard him whisper in her ear: "Wait for me at home tonight."
If Qin Yue did not say this, Jian Ran could still forcefully take him as someone who looked the same as her husband. Upon saying that, Jian Ran's entire mind went blank, and she dumbfoundedly forgot what to do.
Fortunately, all of the reporters' attention were not on her, giving her some time to adjust her mood.
However, the reporters did not notice her, and the keen-eyed PR staff did not miss this small episode.
The PR Department was ready, all the departments coordinated well, and Qin Yue had enough power to intimidate the audience, so the newly appointed press conference this time would be very successful.
Just as the new CEO left, Ma Dannuo squeezed over: "Jian Ran, you 'accidentally' got rid of the document just now, and have successfully attracted the attention of our new CEO."
Jian Ran frowned, she turned and spoke to Xu Youai: "Manager Xu, I will head back to Operations Department after I finish my work in the PR Department."
Looking at Jian Ran's back, Ma Dannuo stomped her feet in anger: She ignored me, she actually ignored me. Why is she so arrogant? "
Xu Youai glared at Ma Dannuo: "Don't cause trouble every day. If you continue to mess around, the next person to leave will be you. Do your job well if you can. As long as you climb higher than her, you will be qualified to pull. "
Ma Dannuo glared at Jian Ran's retreating back, gritting her teeth in hatred: "Cousin sister, I know."
"I …" Qin Yue's lips moved but he did not say anything. An incomprehensible depth appeared in his eyes under the golden frame of his spectacles as he stared at Jian Ran's back while thinking for a few seconds before he turned around and walked back into the study.
In the past three years, Jian Ran had lived alone in a rented apartment. She was very skilled at making a few small dishes, and very quickly, she placed two dishes and a soup on the table.
"Qin Yue, you can eat now." Jian Ran carefully knocked on the door of the study.
In the study room, Qin Yue was currently on the phone, listening to him speak: "You handle all of these matters, you don't have to report everything to me."
With that, he immediately hung up, and when he raised his head, his eyes met with Jian Ran's, and he asked coldly: What's the matter?
"You can eat now." Jian Ran laughed, and didn't dare meet his gaze.
"I'm coming." His tone was indifferent.
The two of them sat opposite each other, earnestly eating their meals. Neither of them spoke up to break the silence, and the atmosphere was heavy for a moment.
There were several times when Jian Ran moved her lips, wanting to find a topic to talk. However, when she saw Qin Yue's indifferent expression, she swallowed her words back.
After the meal, Qin Yue took the initiative to let him wash the dishes, but Jian Ran did not reject. he was willing to share the house with her, so why not?
From Qin Yue's clumsy look, it could be seen that he had not done these things before.
But that's right, how could CEO from such a large company do such trivial things like washing dishes?
"Pa ~ ~ ~"
Hearing the sound of the porcelain bowl shattering, Jian Ran immediately stood up and walked over.
What caught his attention was the bowl in Qin Yue's hand, which he was staring at the shattered porcelain pieces on the ground.
"Let me do it." Jian Ran walked over and wanted to take the bowl from Qin Yue's hands.
"No need, I'll be fine." Qin Yue moved his hand away from Jian Ran's, but his tone did not change.
"Qin Yue, actually …" Jian Ran faced Qin Yue's determined gaze and could not finish her words, so she nodded and left the kitchen, allowing Qin Yue to continue.
Although the two of them were husband and wife, Qin Yue was still a man that she was not very familiar with.
She wanted to know him, to know everything about him, to be as good a wife as she could.
However, with his identity, could she still approach him with the same thoughts she had when they first married?
Jian Ran sat down in the living room, picked up the remote control and switched on the television, picking out a random news channel.
While watching TV, she would occasionally look towards the kitchen, through the glass door she could see Qin Yue seriously and wholeheartedly washing the dishes.
She secretly sighed in her heart, so it turned out that this man could be so tasty when he washed dishes.
Maybe because Jian Ran's gaze was too hot, Qin Yue suddenly turned around. Their four eyes met, and Jian Ran saw the hint of coldness in Qin Yue's eyes, followed by an impeccable polite smile.
Seeing that she had been caught red-handed, Jian Ran's face reddened a little, but she still returned with a polite smile.
Jian Ran then shifted her gaze back to the television screen, her mind filled with Qin Yue's thoughts.
This man has so much charisma in his work that he can wash dishes and taste so good. When did she ever see him make a fool of himself?
After cleaning up the kitchen, Qin Yue returned to the hall and found Jian Ran in a daze. He stared at her pretty face, and spoke after a few seconds: "Jian Ran."
"Ah …" Jian Ran heard his pleasant voice calling out her name. Jian Ran felt that it was unusually pleasant to hear, and for a moment, she felt like her face was burning.
Qin Yue sat on the sofa on the other side. "There are some things that I want to discuss with you."
"Alright." Jian Ran replied. She also wanted to have a good talk with him. She wanted to take this opportunity to clarify things.
Qin Yue's deep gaze swept over Jian Ran from top to bottom before he slowly spoke, "Jian Ran, today at the company …"
"I understand that there is a clear distinction between the public and the private. Actually, I don't want to let people in the company talk behind our back just because of our personal relationship." Before Qin Yue could finish, Jian Ran interrupted him.
She had worked hard at this company for three years in order to achieve her current results, and she still wanted to rely on her own hard work to continue climbing. She didn't want to see any change because of Qin Yue.
Qin Yue's expression was calm, it was just that a barely discernible glint of light flashed in his eyes beneath the gold spectacles: "Regarding the identity of Innovation Technology, I do not intend to hide it from you. When I saw you in such an occasion today, I didn't know what you were thinking, so I didn't announce it to the outside world. However, that doesn't mean that I want to hide this matter. "
"I know." Jian Ran nodded and said, "To me, work and life are completely separate. It is I who do not want to bring personal life to work."
The matter of her and Qin Yue receiving their marriage certificates was something between the two of them. Jian Ran felt that there was absolutely no need to specially announce it to the company.
For one thing, she didn't want her job to be affected. Secondly, she wasn't sure how far she could progress in her marriage with Qin Yue.
Seeing Jian Ran's resolute expression, he paused for a bit, then said: "Have you told your family about our marriage?"
Jian Ran shook her head, she did not want to talk about her family.
"I just took over the Innovation Technology. I have some matters on hand that I need to take care of personally. If you don't mind, I'd like to go with you to visit your in-laws after this period of time. " His tone was calm, as if he had long expected Jian Ran to not mention this matter to his family yet.
"No need." Jian Ran rejected him immediately, but felt that it was inappropriate so she quickly explained, "I have been through some things with my family, I have not contacted them for a long time, let's talk about this later."
Home?
Every time she thought of this word, Jian Ran's heart would ache, making her unable to breathe.
As early as three years ago, that family was no longer hers, and she could no longer go back.
"Jian Ran." Qin Yue deeply called out her name, and said, "From now on, you are no longer alone, you have me."
Qin Yue's tone of voice was indifferent, but because the voice itself was pleasant to listen to, it gave rise to a different feeling.
These words were clearly not words of love, and it caused an indescribable feeling to surge in Jian Ran's heart.
Although she had gritted her teeth and walked over all these years, she still couldn't help but feel sad when thinking about that matter in the dead of night. She also silently shed tears.
"Jian Ran." After being silent for a while, Qin Yue spoke again, "We are already husband and wife, I sincerely wish to live a lifetime with you."
She did not expect Qin Yue to suddenly say this, causing Jian Ran to be stunned. Raising her head to look at him and seeing his sincere gaze, she added, "I've also made up my mind to live with you for the rest of my life."
Qin Yue stared at her beautiful face, he paused for a few seconds and said: "Then Jian Ran, can you promise me, that no matter what happens, you will not easily ask for a breakup?"
"Yes!" Jian Ran nodded heavily, "I will work hard to be a qualified wife."
Do not easily mention breaking up with her, that was what Jian Ran was thinking. Now that Qin Yue had personally said it, she felt at ease.
