My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 594: Not Here

After a moment of silence, Shangguan Ning’s cold voice arose from the other side.

“Mr. Tang, I will do as you requested, but you should also keep your promise of not hurting my husband.”

Tang Shunian was slightly surprised by Shangguan Ning’s response. He had just told her his name and she already knew who he was.

He stared at Jing Yichen. It seemed that Jing Yichen didn’t keep things away from Shangguan Ning.

He had thought that Jing Yichen would conceal important matters from his woman, because women tended to cause trouble. They got emotional and impulsive, thus losing rationality and leaking confidential matters without even realising it.

Tang Yun was the perfect example of this.

But Jing Yichen had told Shangguan Ning everything, otherwise Shangguan Ning could not have guessed who he really was, just by his name.

As a matter of fact, Shangguan Ning did not know Tang Shunian’s name up until now. Jing Yichen had told her about the matter without going into specifics because he did not want her to get too worried or too involved in these things.

But when Shangguan Ning received the call from a strange number which did not originate from A City and heard the surname Tang being mentioned, she naturally understood that Tang Shunian belonged to the Tang Family. It had been him, who placed his men to wander about Landscape Compound, texted her with Jing Yichen’s phone and took away Jing Yichen. He was the man whom Jing Yichen had been looking for all the time.

Tang Shunian got very jealous of Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning’s understanding and trust towards each other.

He never trusted anyone, and nor had he ever been trusted by someone. He had always been living a life full of tricks, and blood. He had been stomping over piles of bones, experiencing endless pain and torment before he became powerful enough to reach where he was today.

After the Tang Family went bankrupt and collapsed, Tang Shunian’s life was tremendously transformed. Because of that period, he turned against both men and women. Both genders disgusted him. Just like Jing Yichen, he detested to be touched, and for many years, he hadn’t touched any woman.

Probably it was because of Shangguan Ning’s elegant air and unusually beautiful looks, or because of her voice, or simply because of her identity as Jing Yichen’s woman, but Tang Shunian thought that she was extremely attractive.

He had already turned very excited when he heard her voice over the phone.

It was a feeling he had never experienced before.

Maybe, this woman could truly cure his strong obsession towards cleanness!

Tang Shunian suddenly said with a smile, “Miss. Shangguan, has anyone told you that you have a really nice voice?”

Standing ten meters away, Jing Yichen could hear their conversation very clearly. In order to stimulate him, Tang Shunian had turned on the speaker.

Jing Yichen could not curb his reaction just as Tang Shunian had predicted.

How dare he speak with Shangguan Ning in such an impolite way, that too, right in front of him?

Deep down inside Jing Yichen, there was a fire of fury burning, making him tremble.

He was blaming himself for everything!

If he had not been on someone else’s mercy, Shangguan Ning would not have been troubled like this.

Shangguan Ning, however, did not show any reaction. She was calm. Instead of answering, she said with poise, “Mr. Tang, can I speak with my husband? I want to be sure that he is safe.”

“Oh yeah? You don’t trust me, Miss Shangguan?” Tang Shunian did not sound angry. In fact, he had a bright smile on his face. He was enjoying speaking with Shangguan Ning.

It made him feel great to speak with Jing Yichen’s wife in front of him. Jing Yichen could not have experienced such a humiliating thing in his life before, did he?

“Mr. Tang, I don’t know you, so, of course I don’t trust you. But I don’t think that you are a fickle person. Can I speak with my husband, now? Or, has he been beaten to death already, and hence, you do not want us to talk?”

“Miss Shangguan, we have never met each other before, but I feel that you are a very beautiful woman, and smart too. You know when to push forward and when to retreat. You have obviously left me no choice except to follow your words, and I have, willingly, fallen for that.”

Smiling, Tang Shunian was showing great patience towards Shangguan Ning while speaking to her. He seemed rather good-tempered at the moment.

“Your husband is safe right now, maybe a bit messy. He is not injured, and the blood on his body is from someone else. But, if you don’t follow my orders, he may not be able to stay alive for long.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Tang, as long as I am assured that my husband is safe, I will definitely follow your instructions. I won’t gamble with his life. I think that you already know that I am on my way. I am not sure how many people there are in the Buick car, but I am definitely not a match against them, right?”

Tang Shunian finally laughed. “Miss Shangguan, you are definitely smart! Yes, they are my men. Follow them, and you will find Jing Yichen. Hopefully, I won’t have to wait for too long!”

“I am driving at a high speed. But that car of yours is way too slow for me to drive any faster. You have to change the car.”

“Oh, it is my mistake.” Tang Shunian instantly said in an indulgent voice, “When they finish the mission today, we will remove the stupid Buick and replace it with Audi, like yours, okay?”

“I don’t care about that, Mr. Tang. Where is my husband? Please put him on the call.”

“You truly are in love with Jing Yichen. I am so jealous.” Tang Shunian chuckled as a touch of evil flashed across his eyes. He said in a relaxed voice, “If you insist, then I will not displease you.”

He stressed upon the “not displease you” in a flirty way, just to annoy Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen.

Unfortunately, neither of them showed anger.

Not getting his desired reaction out of them, Tang Shunian looked slightly angry. But he still kept his promise. He handed his phone to Jing Yichen and said calmly, “One minute only.”

A few meters away, Jing Yichen said loudly on the phone, “Ning, don’t come here. Leave everything to me. I can solve it myself.”
