Chapter 696: [Yan Jian Side Story] 11, I Also Want to Be Braver (2 more updates)_3

But he wanted to try... see if Jamie would really get angry with him for a woman.

He picked up the calendar and strode towards the door.

Just a few steps away, countless waves surged in his heart.

Jamie, don’t let me down.

I beg you.

.

Inside the office, the black, white, and gray barren landscape was already engulfed in a dreamy fog.

Between the two, gazes turned to silk, breaths turned to mist.

Misty, hazy.

Seemingly close yet distant, seemingly existent yet elusive.

And... like a dream.

Dream, right before their eyes.

.

What made him even more obsessed was her expression.

She was misty-eyed, the woman who seemed to constantly resist, this time was truly misty-eyed.

Her big flashing eyes lost the usual black and white clarity, her eyes now holding distant mist over mountains, clear waters shimmering. Like willows in March haze, apricots in April rain.

His heart surged with indescribable satisfaction.

It was him, it was him, it was him who made her like this—

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted.

Like the toll of doom, the dream abruptly ceased.

His blue eyes squinted tightly, unwilling to watch the misty willows and apricots in her eyes slowly withdraw, he angrily glared at the door.

Damn it, he wanted to personally kill the person who senselessly knocked on the door!

.

In the end, Yan Jian whimpered, rolled off his lap, frantically covered herself, and fled.

He reached to embrace her, but her black and white eyes glared defensively at him, then mercilessly slapped away his hand.

The dream between them faded away.

She hid in the inner room, he gritted his teeth and furiously growled at the door: "What is it?!"

Is the sky falling, or is the damn Fude Group going bankrupt?

A steady voice replied from outside the door, obviously not the least bit afraid, even carrying a damn determination.

"Boss, it’s me."

Jamie recognized it was Ben Shaming, he squinted his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, calming down before pressing the button under his desk, the door lock automatically opened.

Ben Shaming walked in.

The tall and slender young man, melancholic and quiet, no one would imagine he was a top assassin.

He was the one he depended on during those years in Europe.

.

Jamie took a deep breath, slowed his tone: "Little Ben, why did you come."

He had given Ben Shaming a task, to handle Luo Xiansheng, so this period he didn’t require Ben Shaming to work, letting him find the opportunity to complete the task was enough.

But Ben Shaming steadily approached, spreading Bry’s calendar before Jamie.

"Two appointments are already late, you should leave immediately. Bry and the others dared not knock, so only I could. If you’re upset or need to punish someone, fine me instead."

He looked up, his dark eyes locking onto Jamie: "The current Fude Group is not yours yet, you’re just an employed general manager. To take back Fude Group, you can’t neglect any task now. Work conscientiously, firstly so Lin Qi can’t catch any flaws, secondly to unite the company top and bottom in your favor."

"Jamie, I know the company matters are not fun at all, too many restrictions. But this is the path you chose, to once again ascend to the throne of Fude Group. Have you forgotten?"

He walked in without needing a detailed glance, already knowing who the woman in this room was.

Her aura, her cherry blossom-like fragrance, he was already familiar with at the Sisi Fashion Academy these days.

Jamie took a deep breath and chuckled: "You sure sound like a nag."

Ben Shaming also smiled in return: "I don’t mind being anything, what matters to me most is helping you realize all your dreams. Everything you want, I’ll seize for you, and I won’t let anyone who dares to hinder you get away."

Jamie was also touched.

Back then, as a teenager still just a child, exiled to Europe with wounds all over his heart and body, thrown into an entirely unfamiliar world. No one truly cared about him, no one protected him, through those most difficult times it was only this seemingly frail young man who accompanied him.

Little Ben wasn’t exaggerating, over the years, any who sought to harm him were taken out by Little Ben himself.

Even that damn Old Buddha!

.

Indeed, Old Buddha was actually killed by his hand.

Though he put the blame for Old Buddha’s death on Huangfu Huazhang after returning to M Country.

It was merely a little manipulation on his part, using the police to achieve multiple goals.

The police believed it, and Huangfu Huazhang had no suspicion. He suddenly felt both the police and Huangfu Huazhang were trivial.

And he, who was once a child seemingly powerless against the situation, finally grew up, finally understood after trying, that he possessed the ability to control the entire situation.

That minor exercise of power, in fact, saw him achieving total victory.

Although, Huangfu Huazhang originally also wanted to kill Old Buddha.

But he knew Huangfu Huazhang sought to kill the old man not for Rosa, nor for him; Huangfu Huazhang wanted to do so just for himself.

Because at that time, Old Buddha was the patriarch of the Ford family, someone who could restrain Huangfu Huazhang. If Huangfu Huazhang wanted to completely control the Ford family and Buddha Group, he absolutely had to eliminate the old man.

Moreover, even conceding a thousand steps, even if Huangfu Huazhang succeeded, it would objectively serve as an explanation to him... but how could he possibly allow that old man to die at someone else’s hands?

Avenging his own enemy, he wanted not just the enemy’s life, but also the joy of personally killing them.

Outsiders and the police only knew there was a traditional Chinese doctor named Duan Shengxuan beside Huangfu Huazhang, so they easily believed his guidance, believed it was Huangfu Huazhang who killed Old Buddha... but outsiders and the police were unaware there had been an assistant beside Duan Shengxuan back then.

Huangfu Huazhang couldn’t conveniently get herbs directly from Duan Shengxuan; all transactions went through that assistant.

That assistant was none other than Ben Shaming back then.

The introverted and lonely boy naturally didn’t draw attention, and he bore no connection to Old Buddha, so no one suspected him.

Actually, the herbs Duan Shengxuan gave to Huangfu Huazhang were all reasonable doses, but in the assistant’s hands, they increased by tenfold.

Thus, Jamie’s feelings for Ben Shaming were far more complex than for anyone else. To a certain extent, Ben Shaming’s significance exceeded George, even his father and mother.

Jamie took a deep breath, restrained his recent murderous fury, and said as calmly as possible: "Alright, I understand. Go out and help me make a call to apologize for my tardiness, say the meeting was extended and I couldn’t make the appointment on time."

"Alright." Ben Shaming obediently bowed: "Rest assured, I’ll handle it well. Just tell me how long you want them to wait."

Jamie closed his eyes lightly: "Half an hour. I’ll definitely be there in half an hour."

Ben Shaming was satisfied and smiled.

Half an hour, that’s Yan Jian’s weight in Jamie’s heart.

No different from Catherine, no different from other women.

He smiled in return and stepped out.

Half an hour, Jamie could only vent a little, it involved only the body, nothing to do with feelings. So this time, he gave Jamie.

He was willing to wait.

.

Watching Ben Shaming leave, Jamie took a deep breath, got up, and walked to the inner room.

Inside, Yan Jian had already tidied up her clothes, sat numbly pale on the sofa, and startled like a scared bird upon seeing him enter.

He took a deep breath, and his heart surged again.

Half an hour, if he wished, was enough for a quick resolution.

He had always only allotted as much time to a woman as this.
