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 81: Bridal Chamber

Qin Jijing did not open his eyes, sleeping quietly, but his thumb gently stroked the back of Jiang Ni's hand, the other fingers lightly encircling her wrist.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed as if he was not entirely comfortable, seeking solace in her presence.

Jiang Ni stood before him without moving, hesitated for quite some time, then she lifted her hand and quietly wrapped her other arm around him.

Pausing for a few seconds, she mimicked how he soothed her before, her fingers gliding gently along his back.

She did not try to wake him again, simply standing quietly by his side.

Mrs. Lin had said she was going back to rest, but she had not gone to bed yet. She first instructed the butler to prepare a bedroom in the back courtyard for the two of them. Seeing Qin Yu return, she hurriedly inquired about Qin Jijing's condition.
