192: Chapter 192 Zhao Ruilong, come here! Put this hat on!

The investment representative of the Lantis Group was none other than Chen Yan, an acquaintance Zhao Yang hadn't seen in years.

At the first sight of Zhao Yang, Chen Yan's body stiffened, her delicate frame trembling slightly as she whispered, "Is it you?"

Zhao Yang nodded, "It's me."

Seeing the scene, Wu Yuedong immediately and consciously retreated to the door, smiling, "Boss, since you and Young Miss Chen know each other, I don't need to introduce you. You two talk."

After speaking, he opened the door and left.

Just as Zhao Yang was about to say a few words about their reunion, a delicate body threw itself into his arms. Chen Yan's face was covered in tears, "I'm not dreaming, am I? Is it really you?"

Zhao Yang couldn't be bothered with small talk; he lowered his head and captured her cherry lips directly.

"Mmm..." Chen Yan's body jolted, then softened, and she began to respond passionately.

A System notification rang in Zhao Yang's consciousness.

[Chen Yan's affection for the Host has exceeded the threshold, and the Host's comprehensive strength evaluation has met the standard. Chen Yan has established a bond relationship with the Host — Lights Fading in the Distance.]

[Chen Yan gains bond effect: Eternal Beauty.]

[Eternal Beauty: The passage of time cannot alter the appearance from dreams; Chen Yan's biological age is reduced by ten natural years at once.]

[Host gains talent: Genetic Key.]

[Genetic Key: The Host can autonomously decide whether intimate relations with a spouse during the danger period can produce offspring.]

Zhao Yang's heart stirred.

He had finally established a bond relationship with Chen Yan, but the content of the notification gave him a faint, unsettling feeling.

With the beauty in his arms, he didn't want to be distracted for the moment and quickly threw himself wholeheartedly into the passionate kiss.

Only when Chen Yan was almost fainting did she gasp for air, "I'm really afraid this is a dream. Pinch me quickly, let me know this isn't a dream."

Zhao Yang laughed and gently flicked her forehead, "It's real. You are real, and I am real; our reunion is also real."

"Then kiss me." As she spoke, Chen Yan hugged Zhao Yang again, kissing him greedily.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Chen Yan leaned into Zhao Yang's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry, I never took the initiative to contact you."

Zhao Yang wrapped his arms around her waist, letting her sit on his lap, "I understand; after all, you had no choice. When did you go to America?"

"It's been a few years..." Chen Yan's expression was complex as she said, "Actually, my marriage lasted less than two years. After the divorce, my relationship with my husband's family became very hostile, so I went abroad."

Zhao Yang paused for a moment, asking in confusion, "Then why didn't you come to find me?"

Chen Yan smiled bitterly, "If I stayed in the country, it would be easy to implicate my family. After all, I had a very unpleasant falling out with my ex-husband's family. But it's fine now; my parents have retired and settled in America, so I don't have to worry about coming back alone."

Zhao Yang nodded, "It's good that you're back."

"Zhao Yang, I feel like I'm truly a person favored by Heaven." Chen Yan wrapped her arms around his neck, "After coming back, to actually be working for you, I really feel very happy... By the way, I never told you, you are the only man in my life."

Zhao Yang was stunned, feeling a bit strange. Back in Jinghai, when they were together for the first time, Chen Yan hadn't shown any signs of pain.

Chen Yan leaned into his ear and said embarrassedly, "When I was in middle school, I watched some inappropriate movies, then secretly bought the things from the movies, and ended up not being able to resist... I just... I still have that thing, do you want me to give it to you?"

The corner of Zhao Yang's eye twitched, "No wonder you dared to go undercover in Jinghai all by yourself; you were quite wild since you were young."

"As long as you don't look down on me." Chen Yan continued, "My ex-husband and I never slept together. He is a scumbag with absolutely no sense of responsibility. On the night of the wedding, I saw his medical report—he actually had a venereal disease. I firmly refused to let him touch me unless he was cured first. Anyway, before I divorced him, he hadn't been cured."

Zhao Yang couldn't help but frown, "Your family actually found you such a husband's family."

Chen Yan sighed, "There was no choice; their family's influence is too great. In the exchange of interests, our family could only suffer in silence. Come to think of it, my ex-husband's family is of the same clan as you."

Zhao Yang was stunned, a faint, ominous premonition rising, "Surname Zhao? What's his name?"

"Zhao Ruilong," Chen Yan said, "The Young Master of the Zhao family. His old man is currently the number one in Handong Province, and it is said there is hope for him to advance further."

Zhao Yang felt his throat go dry.

This will of fate was holding him in too high regard.

He originally thought Zhong Xiaoai's secret crush on him was the greatest malice fate had for him, but he didn't expect that through a twist of fate, he had already placed a glaring green hat on the head of Zhao Ruilong, the son of the super big Boss Former Secretary Zhao Lichun in the world of in the name of the people.

Zhao Yang felt that he was the man with the most guts! What is Zhang Wei? He finally understood why, when he stepped onto the land of Handong Province in his early years, he always had a feeling of trepidation—it turned out to be the potential threat from the son of the ultimate Boss.

He also understood the meaning of the System notification "Host's comprehensive strength evaluation met the standard": the prerequisite for establishing a bond relationship with Chen Yan was that he could withstand Zhao Ruilong's fury.

Back then, he was just a nobody, so naturally he didn't qualify; but now, as the Saint of both the Shuimu and Handong Province Political and Legal Sects, with big shots from the Ministry of Public Security and the military backing him, and thriving within the Procuratorate System himself, he naturally attained the qualification to put a green hat on Zhao Ruilong.

Suddenly, he thought of a very serious matter and asked internally, "System, if I didn't have the Genetic Key talent, would it be impossible for me to have a next generation? Deduct the consultation fee yourself."

[Yes. The rules of the world will default to destroying all of the Host's genetic Legacy.]

Zhao Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes internally.

Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have used those rubber things; who knows how much of Earth's resources I wasted.

"Zhao Yang..." Chen Yan's murmur pulled him back from his thoughts, "Am I old?"

Zhao Yang laughed, observing Chen Yan, and discovered that her current appearance was even younger than it was back then, so he directly pulled her to the dressing room in the private room, pointing at the mirror and saying, "See for yourself, your skin is just like an eighteen-year-old girl's."

Chen Yan observed herself in the mirror, also somewhat surprised, "Strange, is this me? I felt like I had more crow's feet just two days ago; how come they're gone?"

Zhao Yang laughed, "It must be because you saw me, and you became younger."

As he spoke, the two embraced and kissed passionately in front of the large mirror, not even having time to go to the bathroom.

For Zhao Yang, being in front of the mirror was also a brand-new experience—a live broadcast for himself.

...

The next day, the two lingered until noon before getting up. Chen Yan's years of longing for Zhao Yang all melted into water-like tenderness. She stared straight at Zhao Yang, her eyes full of love and pride, "I never dreamed that the man I deeply love is not only the youngest department-level cadre in the country, but also the true boss behind the Lantis Group."

Zhao Yang smiled, "The youngest department-level cadre—I dare not claim that; there might be someone younger than me."

"Anyway, as far as I know, you are the only one." Chen Yan hugged Zhao Yang's arm, acting coquettishly, "So, my boss, may I ask what I should do next?"

Zhao Yang smiled faintly, "Put your hair up."
