 "My YanYan—I’ll Protect You"


Cong Qiao was taken aback and asked with a troubled expression, 
"President Qin, where did you hear this term from?"

Cong Qiao let his thoughts run wild—
It couldn’t be that someone wanted to disrespect President Qin, could it? 
This matter needed to be clarified!

From Cong Qiao’s reaction, Qin Zhiyan sensed something. 
Could it be that this term had a negative meaning? 
But Tang Keyi couldn’t possibly have any ill intentions toward him.

Qin Zhiyan replied vaguely,
 "I just heard it by chance. Don’t worry about it."

Cong Qiao realized he had overstepped but felt too awkward to explain directly.

So he tactfully suggested, 
"President Qin, maybe you should search it online yourself."

Qin Zhiyan shot Cong Qiao a suspicious glance, waved him out, and then typed the three characters into his phone.

After seeing the explanation that popped up, Qin Zhiyan silently rubbed his forehead.
Tang Keyi’s thoughts were truly... beyond words.







“We’re not having dinner together tonight,” 

Qin Zhiyan said, looking at Tang Keyi in front of him. 

“I just received a call. I need to meet with the new seller of the New Trunk Line land tonight.”

“Is it that important? You promised me first,” 
Tang Keyi said disappointedly.

Qin Zhiyan reached out and pinched Tang Keyi’s earlobe which bore a red mole, soothingly saying

“Just before signing the contract, the original seller transferred the land. I only found out about this today. There’s no need to investigate further—the new seller is already asking to meet me. It seems like this was planned all along. So, I must go to the meeting tonight.”

Tang Keyi also grew serious.

“It sounds like there’s some conspiracy involved. I’ll go with you.”

“Do you want to go? I was afraid you’d find it boring,” 

Qin Zhiyan said, his fingers still maintaining their pinching motion, as though he had a particular fondness for that spot.

“I’m your assistant! I want to go!”

Qin Zhiyan indulged Tang Keyi. 

“Alright, I’ll take you.”








When Tang Keyi followed Qin Zhiyan to the reserved private room, he only saw a young man with black hair, green eyes, fair skin, and delicate features—clearly a mixed-race individual.


Tang Keyi wondered inwardly, 

Could this be the new seller of the New Trunk Line land?

But this person was quite rude. 

Seeing them arrive, he didn’t stand up to greet them. 

Instead, he remained sitting with his legs crossed looking at them with a faint smile, as if he knew them.

Tang Keyi glanced sideways and noticed Qin Zhiyan’s deep, intense gaze, clearly tinged with anger.

Just as Tang Keyi was about to ask Qin Zhiyan if he knew him, the person spoke first, answering Tang Keyi’s question.

“President Qin, long time no see. Please, have a seat.”

Qin Zhiyan stepped forward and sat down opposite the person. 

Tang Keyi followed and sat beside Qin Zhiyan.

“And this is?”  the person asked, looking at Tang Keyi.

“He’s my assistant,”  Qin Zhiyan replied. 

“William, when did you arrive in the imperial capital?”

“Just about a week ago. I’ve been waiting a whole week just to meet you today,” 

William said, pressing the call button to have the dishes served.

Hearing this, Tang Keyi felt slightly surprised. 

His eyes flickered, and his gaze toward William carried a hint of hostility.

Qin Zhiyan furrowed his brow, his sharp gaze fixed on the person across from him. 

“So, you deliberately acquired the New Trunk Line land before the Qin Corporation could sign the contract. What’s your purpose? Just say it.”

William smiled triumphantly. 

“Of course, it’s because of you, President Qin.”

Qin Zhiyan’s gaze remained displeased as he waited for William to continue.

Hearing this, Tang Keyi couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

“Back in the M Empire, you snatched so many business deals from me and then left for your country without a word. How could I let it go?”

William flashed a smile. 

“I imagine the Qin Corporation has put a lot of preliminary work into developing this land, right? Now that I’ve intercepted it halfway, President Qin must be feeling quite upset.”

“You don’t have the development rights. Even if you bought this land, it’s useless. Did you really spend billions just to annoy me?”

“President Qin, you must be joking. I came to the imperial capital for you—why would I want to annoy you? I’m here to propose a collaboration. I won’t sell this land, but I want to participate in your future development projects and take half the share.”

“Agreed.”

William looked surprised. 

“President Qin, you’re being so decisive? Aren’t you going to consider it further? Aren’t you worried I might have ulterior motives?”

“No need. You’re a smart person too. We’ll discuss the details at the company tomorrow.”

During their brief conversation, Qin Zhiyan had already analyzed the pros and cons.


The Qin Corporation held the development rights for the New Trunk Line land, but this wasn’t their only target plot. 

However, the other plots had already been purchased by the Qin Corporation. 

If they couldn’t acquire this land, the other plots would lose their synergistic potential.

Rendering the entire project, with its massive preliminary investment almost useless.

William must have investigated beforehand and deliberately interfered. 

He knew the Qin Corporation couldn’t afford to give up this land entirely, so he seized the opportunity to join in. 

The peripheral development projects around the New Trunk Line were highly profitable with bright prospects, which was why William wanted a piece of the pie.

Still, William’s participation did have some advantages.

William’s family was one of the top financial groups in the M Empire. 

Previously, Qin Zhiyan had some conflicts with William’s family while expanding into foreign markets. 

But now, if William wanted to do business in the C Empire, it would give Qin Zhiyan a perfect opportunity to keep him in check. 

If William had any ill intentions, Qin Zhiyan was confident he could make William’s family suffer heavy losses right here in the C Empire.

Listening to the exchange between Qin Zhiyan and William, Tang Keyi’s heart was in turmoil.


[This William came back to the imperial capital for our Yan Yan?]
[Yan Yan has too many admirers, doesn’t he? They’re even chasing him back from abroad?]
[From what he’s saying, it seems like he’s been defeated by Yan Yan so many times that he’s developed a desire to conquer him... Is this the legendary ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’?]
[Oh my god, this love rival doesn’t seem easy to deal with!]


Qin Zhiyan: ???


How did Tang Keyi get the idea that William liked him?


Qin Zhiyan stood up. 

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave now.”

William spoke up to stop them. 
“President Qin, won’t you do me the honor? The dishes haven’t even been served yet.”

“No need.”

If they stayed any longer, Qin Zhiyan really didn’t know what else Tang Keyi might imagine.

“Alright then. There will be plenty of time in the future. We’ll be seeing each other often anyway. I hope President Qin will grace us with his presence then,” 

William said, a faint smile lingering on his face as he looked at Qin Zhiyan.


[That smile of his! He’s clearly trying to seduce Yan Yan!]
[This guy definitely has ulterior motives toward our Yan Yan!]


Qin Zhiyan sighed helplessly and strode toward the door.

Tang Keyi followed behind Qin Zhiyan, deliberately turning back to glare at William.

Seeing this, William raised an eyebrow. 

This little assistant was quite interesting.









“This William is clearly not a good person. You should interact with him as little as possible. If he invites you out for a meal, you mustn’t agree. Or at least take me with you” 

Tang Keyi earnestly advised as they left the private room.

Qin Zhiyan tightened his grip on Tang Keyi’s hand and explained

“He’s just upset because he lost to me before. Don’t worry, he won’t be able to cause any trouble.”


[In the private room, his eyes never left you. He definitely likes you!]
[Forget it. Our Yan Yan is so innocent—he definitely wouldn’t notice.]
[My Yan Yan, I’ll protect him!]


Qin Zhiyan: …

“Luckily, the reservation I made wasn’t canceled. Let’s go enjoy a good meal.”



As soon as they left the restaurant, Qin Zhiyan zipped up Tang Keyi’s jacket all the way and wrapped his scarf tightly around him.

“Don’t get sick again.”

This scene happened to be witnessed by William, who was standing by the glass window upstairs.

Qin Zhiyan and that little assistant?

Interesting.

Qin Zhiyan, you’ve beaten me so many times. 

If I don’t give you some trouble, wouldn’t that be unfair?

Chapter 1 The big fierce A turns into a vicious soft O

By -
"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief.  He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance.  His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise.  Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

Chapter 2 I am not an Omega, I want to commit suicide!

By -
“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.”  Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver.  The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo.  His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

Chapter 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

By -
"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"   Qin Mu yun advised.  "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.  Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.  With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.   "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

By -
Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream.  In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly.  He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain.  Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met.  Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Chapter 4 If you don’t complete the task, you will be punished

By -
[Host, remember this: beyond the storyline, the world is vast.] “What does that mean? Can you be more specific?” [Host, you must understand that the novel's storyline does not describe every hour of every day. Moreover, you are just a side character, so the storyline involving you is relatively sparse. This means that as long as you don't violate the system's rules, you are free to do as you please during the times when you are not part of the storyline.] “But won’t this affect the development of the plot? After all, I’m living in what feels like a real world.” [It naturally could, which is why you have the opportunity to change your ending. For example, today you jumped off a building, and Qin Chengyu saved you. This event was not part of the novel’s original storyline. It will inevitably affect Qin Chengyu’s impression of you.] Nian Jinsui sneered,  “Of course it will. He saved me, making him my lifesaver. But in the future, I’ll have to follow the storyline and mis...

Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

By -
Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...

Chapter 23 You’ll Be Living in the Storage Room

By -
  Nian Jinsui unwrapped the LEGO set and dumped all the pieces onto the carpet.  Carefully, he maneuvered himself off his wheelchair and sat on the floor, immediately starting to assemble the pieces. Qin Chengyu, seated across from him, first picked up the instruction manual to study it. “Come on, start building,”  Nian Jinsui said, pushing a small bag of LEGO pieces toward Qin Chengyu. It was Qin Chengyu’s first time encountering LEGO.  After carefully examining the instructions, his movements were slower.  While he had only assembled a few pieces, Nian Jinsui had already completed a small portion. “Look, I’ve nearly finished the car chassis,”  Nian Jinsui boasted.  “So, you’re not some magical beginner with a gaming halo in everything after all.” Qin Chengyu glanced at the model in front of Nian Jinsui, then pointed to a specific section.  “You made a mistake here.” “Impossible!”  Nian Jinsui retorted, immediately defensive. Qin Che...

Chapter 7 My favorite brother Ting

By -
Ting After Nian Jinsui completed his check-up in the afternoon, the group got on the car back to Nian's home. Nian Jinsui sat in the back seat of the car, tapping his fingers quickly on the screen of his mobile phone, checking Nian Jinsui's circle of friends and WeChat friends. When he saw that Chu Heting's chat box was pinned to the top and the note was called  "My favorite brother Ting,"  although Nian Jinsui was not surprised, he still couldn't help but feel a chill. Brother Ting? I'm still disgusted! Nian Jinsui curled his lips in disgust and was about to change the note for him when a systematic reminder suddenly came to his mind. [Host, this note is mentioned in the plot of the novel, so no modification is allowed. ] Nian Jinsui then rolled his eyes and had to give up. Qin Chengyu raised his eyelids slightly, and through the rearview mirror, he saw that Nian Jinsui had been tapping the screen of his mobile phone, which made him suddenly remember the...

Chapter 6 He is different from the rumors

By -
Qin Chengyu:  ? ? ? What's the problem? Qin Chengyu was silent for a moment. He didn't understand the purpose of Nian Jinsui's question, but he still answered it. "It's called a person with an inability to smell." "Wrong answer!" Nian Jinsui suddenly became excited, stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side "Now the correct answer is revealed. People who can't smell are called Betas! Hahahaha..." Nian Jinsui He laughed at his own joke and kept giggling. But Qin Chengyu's expression was dull and without a smile.  He looked at Nian Jinsui, and there was even a trace of imperceptible hostility in his eyes. Is this Nian Jinsui mocking him for not being able to smell pheromones? But he doesn't want to smell pheromones. It's great to be a Beta.  He doesn't have to be influenced by pheromones like Alpha and Omega and do some uncontrollable behaviors.  It's disgusting to think about it. Qin Chengyu suffe...

SDS: Chapter 04

By -
Tang Keyi never expected that a single furtive glance would lead to direct eye contact with Qin Zhiyan. His heart lurched, and he immediately ducked his head,  pretending to focus on the nonexistent rice in his bowl. [Did he see me?] [Ugh, of course he did—I’m way too eye-catching…] [What now? Should I peek again?] [Maybe he’s not looking anymore…] [What if we lock eyes again?] [I’m overthinking this. He was just scanning the room. No way he knows who I am…] Unbeknownst to Keyi, every thought echoed crystal-clear in Zhiyan’s mind. Zhiyan studied the young man practically burying his face in his bowl,  confirming the impossible: he could hear Keyi’s inner monologue. So this is the infamous Tang Keyi?  The same one who’d boldly declared he’d marry him—yet now cower...
