Jian Hang was caught off guard by the question. Before this, Lemeng was not among her choices.

She knew that several senior executives of Lemeng had resigned all at the same time, including the head of the Strategic Investment Department.

She didn’t give Qin Moling or herself a chance, “I told you, I’m considering changing careers. I don’t plan to go to the Strategic Investment Department of any company.”

The work in the Strategic Investment Department was not challenging for her and would go against her original intention of changing careers.

Qin Moling’s eyes never left her face. The light in the car was dim, but it did not affect his view of her.

“Not to the Strategic Investment Department.” He said, “I’m talking about Lemeng’s Fourth Division.”

“You want me… to be the General Manager of the Fourth Division?” She was unsure and did not dare to believe it.

Qin Moling nodded. “Going to the Fourth Division will bring risks and challenges, but also opportunities. Are you willing?”

This was no longer a question of willingness. Jian Hang was a little flattered. “Are you confident in handing over the Fourth Division to me?”

Qin Moling threw it back to her, “What is there to worry about?” He has already given her the rest of his life and entrusted her with his personal property. What else couldn’t he trust her with?

Jian Hang couldn’t give him an answer now, so she said calmly, “Give me some time to think about it.”

There were too many things to consider, and it would take more than just three or five minutes to think through them all.

“No worries.” Qin Moling didn’t rush her and was even somewhat prepared to be rejected. But there were still a few things he wanted to tell her in order to win her over.

“I don’t talk much in meetings, you already know that. The four business divisions are relatively independent, and I never interfere in operational matters.

“The relationship between you and me should be like that between you and Pang Linbin when you were in Yinlin. You are responsible for running operations and only report to me only on major matters. For everything else, you make your own decisions.

“For the next two years, I want you to take care of your body. Only in Lemeng can I guarantee that you won’t need to socialize. After a few years in the Fourth Division, you will have industry experience. Whether you want to stay or change jobs, I will respect it.”

He was her husband; he had the resources and she had the ability, so naturally he should give her the best.

There was one last thing he had to say, which was also the most crucial. He said, “In the company, I am your boss. When we get home, I will compensate you.”

Jian Hang suddenly looked at him, not understanding what this compensation was.

As for the fact that he was her superior, it was not a concern for her. He was inherently more capable than her. On the one hand, he was talented, and on the other hand, the opportunities and resources given to him by the Qin family were not available to ordinary families.

She didn’t need to feel inferior because of this.

She wanted to change her career not because she wanted to become someone like him and Han Shuang and then surpass them.

He and Han Shuang had the ability, but it was also because they had better opportunities.

There was an opportunity before her now, and she could not waste it.

“I’ll talk to you about my conditions for going to Lemeng after I’ve considered it more. I’ll go if we agree.”

Qin Moling said, “Don’t worry about the conditions.”

Jian Hang smiled and said, “Don’t say that too early, let’s just deal with it like business. I may want more than you think.”

After all, it was he who extended the olive branch to her.

After talking about work, there was silence in the car for a while.

Things were not as natural as they had been before.

The scene of him pleasuring her on the bathroom sink the morning before she went on a business trip was always subtly between the two of them.

It was hard to ignore.

If their relationship was natural, no one would care about that kind of intimacy.

But it wasn’t.

When they got home, Qin Moling took her suitcase, and Jian Hang walked ahead.

She didn’t have to go to work tomorrow, so she wanted to play a game. She hasn’t touched the game for more than a week, ever since Qin Moling took over responsibility for collecting items for her online.

After taking a shower and getting into bed, Jian Hang took the pillow and put it behind her back, “Can you let me see your phone for a while?”

She just said she wanted to look; she didn’t say she wanted to play games.

Qin Moling didn’t think much about it, “Is your phone out of battery?” He glanced at her bedside table and saw that her phone was charging.

“It has power.” She suddenly realized that mobile phones were very private personal items. Even couples should have privacy. “It’s okay, I realize it’s inconvenient.”

In just a few seconds, Qin Moling guessed what she wanted to do with his phone.

He locked his phone and put it on the bedside table, not letting her use it. He didn’t forget to explain clearly what needed to be explained, “I don’t have any other women, and there is nothing private in my phone that you can’t see. But if you want to play games, then it’s not convenient to give you my phone.”

“It’s no use calling me ‘Husband’,” he added.

Jian Hang: “…”

She hadn’t even thought of repeating that move.

“I don’t have to go to work starting tomorrow, and I’m not yet sleepy now.”

Qin Moling only left the lamp on his side on and adjusted it to the dimmest setting.

He brought her over and put her on his pillow, “Why can’t you control yourself when it comes to games?”

Jian Hang looked at him and said, “I’m not a saint. I’m not perfect.”

“I didn’t ask you to be perfect. Just don’t play games which make you feel dizzy. The moment your illness passes, you’ll forget the pain.” Qin Moling didn’t want to hear her rebuttal, so he bent his head and kissed her.

Jian Hang turned her head, wanting to argue, but just as she was about to speak, her lips were sealed again.

Qin Moling wasn’t in a hurry to give it to her so quickly today.

The lamp was on. Qin Moling looked at her beautiful eyes and asked her, “If you plan to come to Lemeng, when will you come to see me?” She would only come if she was ready to negotiate with him.

Jian Hang: “…”

At this moment, the two of them were pressed tight against each other; Qin Moling was looking at her, and he was just as close now to the place where he had kissed her on the washstand that day.

Close contact but gentle affection.

It made her more excited than just asking her for it directly.

However, at this time, he also talked to her about business.

Maybe he really couldn’t think of what to talk to her about, so he just took out Le Meng as a topic.

She gave him a specific time, “If I plan to go, I’ll find you on Monday.”

Qin Moling looked at her straight, “I’ll wait for you at the company on Monday.”

His Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he nibbled her lips gently from time to time.

Jian Hang also touched the corner of his lips vaguely.

This was the first time that they had such a little romantic movements.

They rubbed each other gently like this for two or three minutes.

There was no penetration, no extensive kissing, but the two of them could clearly feel each other.

Qin Moling lowered his head and kissed her eyes.

Then gave it to her.

Jian Hang hugged him and kissed his lips.

The world was spinning.

The sky was dark and gloomy.

Everything was hot and intense.
