Yang Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Since we're moving, why don't Mom, Dad, and Xiao Yi all come with us? The house is big enough, and even if they argue as much as they do here, we won't hear it."
Yunfeng Summit was the most luxurious villa in Jiangzhou, with excellent soundproofing in every room.
But Qin Xi shook her head without hesitation. "The reason I want to move out is to give Xiao Xiao a comfortable and quiet environment."
At this moment, Qin Xi was torn. Moving out would mean worrying about Qin Yi, but staying would mean worrying about Xiao Xiao.
"If you haven't decided yet, take some more time to think it over. Let me know when you've made up your mind," Yang Chen said.
"Okay."
The night passed without further discussion. The next morning, after dropping Qin Xi off at her company, Yang Chen planned to visit Yanchen Group.
As soon as he parked the car, he saw Qin Yi being harassed by a man at the company entrance—Wang Yanjun, the same university classmate she had once had feelings for.
Wang Yanjun was now married to Yang Liu from the Yang family in Zhoucheng. Yang Chen had met him before when Qin Yi invited him to dinner.
At that moment, Wang Yanjun was pestering Qin Yi, saying something to her.
"Xiao Yi, I thought you understood me, but it turns out you never did."
"Wang Yanjun, I must have been blind to have liked you back then. I never knew you could be so disgusting."
"Xiao Yi, I've always loved you. Please, be with me!"
Wang Yanjun was agitated and suddenly grabbed Qin Yi's arm, trying to pull her into an embrace.
"Get off me!"
Qin Yi shouted in anger and slapped him across the face. "You bastard, get lost!"
"Xiao Yi, even if you beat me to death, I won't leave unless you agree to be with me," Wang Yanjun said shamelessly.
"Wang Yanjun, your logic is truly unique. You love me, so you married another woman? You love me, so even after marriage, you still want me to be with you? What do you take me for? A mistress?" Qin Yi retorted sarcastically, her voice rising in fury.
"Xiao Yi, believe me. Just give me six months. Once I finish this project, I'll get a huge bonus. By the end of the year, I'll divorce her and give you a proper family. But please, don't leave me now, okay?" Wang Yanjun pleaded desperately, gripping her arm tightly.
"Let me go, or I'll call security!" Qin Yi winced in pain.
"I won't let go unless you agree," Wang Yanjun said shamelessly.
It was almost time for work, and many employees were arriving, witnessing the scene.
Qin Yi was both humiliated and furious, but with Wang Yanjun holding her, she couldn't break free.
"If you value your life, let her go."
A cold voice suddenly cut through the tension.
Hearing it, Qin Yi's face lit up with relief. She had once asked Yang Chen to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of Wang Yanjun.
"Wang Yanjun, let me go now, or my boyfriend will make you regret it," Qin Yi snapped.
Wang Yanjun released her arm but glared at Yang Chen. "I've done my research. You're not her boyfriend—you're her brother-in-law."
Yang Chen frowned and said to Qin Yi, "Go ahead to work."
Qin Yi gave him a complicated look before turning and entering the company.
Wang Yanjun tried to stop her, but Yang Chen blocked him effortlessly.
"I'm warning you, don't mess with me, or you'll regret it," Wang Yanjun growled.
Yang Chen smirked. "You're married, yet you're harassing Qin Yi. Aren't you afraid your wife will find out?"
"That's my business. What's it to you?" Wang Yanjun snapped.
"It's not my business, but since you're bothering Qin Yi, it is now. Leave now, and I'll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, don't blame me for what comes next," Yang Chen said flatly, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"What a joke!"
Wang Yanjun scoffed, unimpressed. "You're just Qin Yi's sister's live-in son-in-law. What right do you have to interfere?"
"I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't leave, I'll have the Yang family come collect you," Yang Chen said coolly.
Wang Yanjun burst into laughter. "Kid, you really think you're some big shot? Do you even know anyone from the Yang family?"
Yang Chen ignored him, checked the time, and without another word, pulled out his phone and made a call. "Notify the Yang family in Zhoucheng. They have ten minutes to come to the entrance of Yanchen Group and take their dog away. Otherwise, I'll pay them a visit myself."
Wang Yanjun watched Yang Chen's serious demeanor and felt a flicker of unease, but it quickly faded.
The reason he was still pursuing Qin Yi was that he'd investigated her and found she hadn't dated anyone in years—and Yang Chen was just her brother-in-law.
"Who are you pretending to call? Customer service?" Wang Yanjun sneered. "Hah!"
Yang Chen smiled faintly. "Since you refuse to leave, wait for the Yang family to pick you up. Just don't regret it."
"Regret your mother!" Wang Yanjun snapped in fury.
"Bam!"
The moment he cursed, Yang Chen kicked him, sending him flying over ten meters. The impact made Wang Yanjun cough up blood.
Yang Chen's expression darkened as he strode over and looked down at him. "If I ever see you harass Qin Yi again, I'll make you disappear from this world. Don't take my words lightly—you won't even know how you died."
With that, Yang Chen turned and left.
As Yang Chen walked away, Wang Yanjun's face twisted with hatred. "Qin Yi is mine. No one can stop her from coming back to me."
No sooner had Yang Chen left than a black Audi A8 pulled up at the entrance of Yanchen Group. Yang Wei hurried out of the car.
"Brother, what brings you here?" Wang Yanjun wiped the anger from his face and rushed over.
Yang Wei had been wondering which member of the Yang family had dared to cause trouble at Yanchen Group. Seeing Wang Yanjun's disheveled state, he understood immediately.
"Smack!"
Yang Wei slapped Wang Yanjun across the face. "Who the hell told you to cause trouble at Yanchen Group?"
Wang Yanjun was stunned. Then he remembered Yang Chen's phone call, and his face paled.
"Brother, I'm sorry! I was wrong!" Wang Yanjun lowered his head, but his expression remained vicious.
For now, he had no choice but to apologize. If Yang Wei found out he was here for Qin Yi, he'd never set foot in the Yang family again.
"Tell me, what did you do to make Grandfather call me personally to come collect you from Yanchen Group?" Yang Wei demanded angrily.
