Chapter 33 is really a tsundere.

"I didn't mean to make you lose face."

Jian Qingya looked at Ji Wenyuan with her watery, almond-shaped eyes, appearing extremely sincere.

Perhaps feeling that it was impolite to speak to him while sitting, she prepared to stand up.

Unexpectedly, a tingling numbness shot up from the soles of Jian Qingya's feet.

She stood up, but couldn't steady herself at all, and her whole body tipped to the side.

Just as she was about to fall, a large, powerful hand wrapped around her waist.

But because it happened so suddenly, neither of them had their balance, causing Ji Wenyuan to take two steps back and fall heavily to the ground.

As for Jian Qingya, she was held tightly in his arms.

This fall left Jian Qingya a bit dazed, and she forgot to get up for a long time.

Jian Qingya felt the violent heaving of Ji Wenyuan's chest and was suddenly startled.

She hurriedly got up from Ji Wenyuan, but didn't know where to put her hands.

Her flustered appearance caused the corners of Ji Wenyuan's lips to curl upward.

Ji Wenyuan used his waist strength to get up, pulling Jian Qingya up with him.

"Sorry." Jian Qingya's face was flushed red, and she had to brace herself against the nearby table to stand.

"It's fine." Ji Wenyuan's smile was practically overflowing from his eyes, and he had completely forgotten what decision he had made in the room earlier.

Jian Qingya was terribly embarrassed and couldn't look Ji Wenyuan in the eye at all.

Just a moment ago, her hand had been on Ji Wenyuan's chest, and it felt like she had touched muscle.

Thinking of this, Jian Qingya's cheeks turned as red as a summer sunset.

"I transferred a sum of money to you; remember to accept it."

Jian Qingya tried hard to keep herself calm and quickly changed the subject.

Ji Wenyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, then took out his phone.

Good, another six-figure sum.

As expected, if there's no love, just give money.

"What is this money for?" The smile on Ji Wenyuan's face vanished, and his eyes darkened slightly.

Was this money given because of Lin Qingyuan?

"Don't misunderstand. I originally wanted to buy you a gift to apologize, but I didn't know what you liked."

Seeing Ji Wenyuan's cold face, Jian Qingya explained subconsciously.

Hearing this, Ji Wenyuan felt very conflicted inside.

He lacked nothing, but the only thing he wanted was Jian Qingya's genuine heart.

But in the end, Ji Wenyuan didn't say these words out loud.

Under Jian Qingya's gaze, he revealed a helpless smile. "Giving money is quite good."

"Last night, I just wanted to defend my friend; I didn't intend to show you disrespect." Jian Qingya stared intently at Ji Wenyuan and explained patiently.

Suddenly, as Jian Qingya looked at Ji Wenyuan in front of her, her eyes lit up.

Even though he was trying hard to suppress it, she still caught it.

"I understand."

Ji Wenyuan was ecstatic inside, yet he still had to put on an indifferent expression.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

"You were lying here, you must not have rested well. I'll go make you breakfast."

Pink bubbles were floating in Ji Wenyuan's heart, and his mood became joyful once again.

So, to Jian Qingya, Lin Qingyuan was just a friend.

She was even willing to explain.

That's great.

Just as Ji Wenyuan was about to leave happily, the phone in his hand vibrated.

Looking at the display screen, Ji Wenyuan's face, which had still been smiling, instantly turned serious.

"Hello." Ji Wenyuan walked to the balcony before answering the call.

"Stabilize the situation over there; I'm coming over immediately." Listening to the voice on the other end, Ji Wenyuan's eyes darkened slightly.

Dressed in black silk pajamas, Ji Wenyuan stood with his back to the living room. The morning light fell upon him, and one could seemingly faintly see the muscular lines beneath his loose clothing.

Seeing this scene, Jian Qingya widened her eyes, unable to look away for a long time.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs.

Tsk.

With such excellent genes, how does he not feel like an ordinary person?

Just as she was thinking this, Ji Wenyuan on the balcony suddenly turned around.

When their eyes met, Jian Qingya wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

Peeking at someone.

And got caught!

Furthermore, why did she feel like a smile flashed across Ji Wenyuan's stern face just a moment ago?

Jian Qingya's mind was in a mess, but the person on the balcony came inside.

"Sorry, there's a temporary arrangement at the company." Ji Wenyuan looked apologetic and explained softly.

Jian Qingya hurriedly waved her hands, her whole body like a cooked shrimp. "It's okay."

"I'll just grab a bite of something."

Anyway, when she was busy, she just ate whatever.

It was only after marriage that Ji Wenyuan took such meticulous care of her diet.

"The bread is in the snack cabinet, and there's fruit cut up from yesterday in the fridge, as well as some newly bought milk."

Before going into the room to change clothes, Ji Wenyuan didn't forget to instruct Jian Qingya.

Watching Ji Wenyuan's caring manner, a strange feeling arose in Jian Qingya's heart.

Jian Qingya couldn't even help but wonder what kind of girl had raised Ji Wenyuan into such a meticulous and considerate person.

While she was thinking, Ji Wenyuan had already changed his clothes and walked out.

Ji Wenyuan was wearing a black suit, with the tie clip Jian Qingya gave him pinned to his tie.

His exquisite, three-dimensional features were tinged with a sense of asceticism.

Seeing how he looked, Jian Qingya sighed inwardly again.

No matter how you look at this aura, he looks like a big boss; how can he just be an ordinary employee?

"Remember to eat on time."

Before leaving, Ji Wenyuan instructed again.

"Okay."

Facing Ji Wenyuan's constant instructions, Jian Qingya revealed a faint smile.

It's like I've married a father.

As soon as the door closed, the smile on Ji Wenyuan's face vanished instantly.

He strode forward, and after reaching downstairs, he got into a Maybach.

"President Ji, we placed all those family members in a villa in the suburbs, but today we discovered one of them has run away."

Xiao He was sitting in the driver's seat, looking nervous.

This was a dereliction of his duty.

"Which one?" Ji Wenyuan felt that this was not a coincidence.

"The last family member we picked up."

"After we picked them up that day, we searched them, but didn't see a phone."

"But according to surveillance, he hid the phone in his sock."

Xiao He's voice grew quieter, and his hands gripping the steering wheel tightened even more.

"President Ji, it's my responsibility; I accept the punishment."

"It's meaningless to say these things now; the main task is to find the missing person."

Ji Wenyuan furrowed his brows slightly, but did not blame him.

"The latest clue shows he was taken away by a white car, heading in the direction of Luancheng."

Xiao He relayed the currently known information to Ji Wenyuan.

Ji Wenyuan didn't speak, just took out the computer beside him and skillfully entered a URL.

Based on the clues Xiao He provided, Ji Wenyuan checked the surveillance from the suburbs towards the direction of Luancheng.

Finally, he locked onto a vehicle.

According to the last surveillance footage, the vehicle turned into the direction of the Luancheng suburbs.

Ji Wenyuan thought for a moment; the surveillance cut off, and in that direction, it should have gone to the abandoned port.

"Go to this abandoned port." Ji Wenyuan handed the phone with the navigation to Xiao He.

The vehicle sped along the road, but Ji Wenyuan always had a feeling of unease in his heart.

Just as they were about to leave Tongcheng, Ji Wenyuan suddenly seemed to remember something and slammed his hand onto the armrest.

"Turn around and go back!"
