Power and Passion: A Billionaire's Secret

【Flirtatious FL x Cool and Noble ML, age gap】 Investment banking magnate Qin Jijing, the only son of this generation's Qin Family from Beijing, was rumored to have ancestors of no simple status. Hence, he had always been an awe-inspiring presence amongst the second generation of the Beijing Circle, someone no one dared to provoke lightly. Unfortunately, Jiang Ni's ambition was too great; she risked a relationship with him that was neither public nor heartfelt. She had ulterior motives, weaving trap after trap for Qin Jijing with various sweet nothings, and then heartlessly initiated a breakup. That night, as Jiang Ni prepared to flee, he cornered her in the bedroom for a confrontation. “I've deceived you for so long, and you still don't agree to break up with me?” “What do you mean by deception?” The man's tone was calm, as if he already knew something: “Those little schemes of using my connections to pave your own way? Then, you could have aimed a bit higher.” “But if, what you're referring to is deception in terms of liking me…” The man's tone paused, but his insistence did not wane, “Nini, listen carefully to your own voice.” He said, “I don't think so. Your body doesn't think so either.”

Chapter 155 I Can Go With Her

Two days had passed, and Jiang Ni's fever had already subsided early on, but her throat inflammation persisted, accompanied by a rather severe cold.

At first, she only coughed occasionally, but as time went on, it became more frequent. Speaking felt as if her throat was laden with blades, the pain intense.

Doctor Ji said she had it coming and advised her to speak as little as possible these days.

Jiang Ni verbally agreed, yet she didn't miss a single video conference, and although she had reduced her speaking, there was no sign of improvement.

Fearing the infection would spread to the old man, Jiang Ni had rarely gone upstairs these last two days.

She limited her activities primarily to her own room.

Her meals were delivered on time by the servants.

However, Jiang Ni had temporarily lost her sense of taste and smell, so everything seemed flavorless, leaving her with no appetite at all.

Since returning to London, she had lost a significant amount of weight.
