"Qiu Yueze, give me a personal token of yours!"

After thinking about it, in the end, Gao Ran decided to go straight to him and ask him for the token in the simplest and most direct way.

"Reason!"

When he said this, Qiu Yueze didn't even raise his eyelids.

His eyes were lowered at this moment, and his eyes were hazy with his long, dense eyelashes and the rising water vapor from the cup of tea he was holding in his hand......

Gao Ran really couldn't see his eyes clearly at this time!

And his sentence just now was so bland that she couldn't hear any emotion, which made her unable to discern what he really thought at the moment.

Although she felt helpless in her heart, she still had to continue to grind him patiently-who asked her to persuade Qiu Yueze?!

"Uh...... Look, won't we have to cooperate for a long time in the future? With your tokens, it will be much more convenient to find you in the future, isn't it? Moreover, with your power as the backing, I don't have to worry about being harassed by other businessmen in the future! You know, I have a lot of ideas in my head that can make money! If you fail to protect me, maybe one day, I will be held hostage by others! At that time, I'm afraid that even if I don't want to, I will have to give in...... Even, what if it's someone from the royal family who kidnaps me and threatens me?!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ran shrugged helplessly, and continued with an innocent expression, "At that time, don't blame me for turning my back on your 'partner' and looking for someone else to cooperate...... At that time, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not protecting my personal safety well......

There are some sensitive topics, Gao Ran feels that she only needs to tap on them, and she doesn't have to say everything so bluntly......

She believed that as long as she was a little bit, Qiu Yueze would naturally understand what she meant.

That's the good thing about dealing with smart people -- the meaning you want to express, whether it's overt or implicit, doesn't have to be broken, just a little bit......

It's just that the bad thing about dealing with such a person is that it takes a lot of brains to speak!

Any sentence may have seven or eight meanings for you to guess and speculate......

Really tired!

So it is when you speak, and so it is when you listen......

"Well, what you said also makes some sense......" Qiu Yueze said casually while thinking about something.

"Yes! Yes! In this world, there is no impermeable wall! Even if we both strictly guard the secret of our cooperation, sooner or later, my 'value' will still be found out by some people who really have the means! Moreover, they can find out clearly...... At that time, my personal safety will be in danger!So, as my 'partner', shouldn't you also show a little bit of your sincerity?!"

"Hmm...... Then, I'll send a few good guards to protect you secretly!"

"Then how is it enough?!" Seeing that Qiu Yueze still refused to let go, Gao Ran hurriedly objected.

But, then, in order to prevent him from being suspicious and suspecting that she might have ulterior motives, she hurriedly took the initiative to explain, "I mean, what if, I have something urgent to find you?! Your subordinates may not be able to convey my meaning to you immediately, right?! What if, I am still in a hurry to find you, and I can't delay for a moment?

As he spoke, Gao Ran's tone began to reveal obvious dissatisfaction.

"Hmph! I think that since we want to cooperate, then the status between us must be equal! In terms of 'money,' you should occupy a little more, I have no opinion! However, the status between us must be equal! If you can only be allowed to come to me, but I can't take the initiative to go to you, then I would rather not have such a passive cooperative relationship! I'm not rare!"

The implication of her words is that if Qiu Yueze does not agree to her request, then she will find someone else for her future business, and she will not continue to cooperate with him!

Now that I think about it, Gao Ran feels that his previous practice of "keeping everything that can be reserved for the time being" is really prescient!

Sure enough, when doing business, you can't be completely unreserved!

Otherwise, what can you use to threaten and balance the other party?!

Shopping malls are like this, you have value, only then can you have the capital to negotiate!

Qiu Yueze saw Gao Ran's resolute attitude and knew that she was not joking.

Thinking in her heart, she would really find the right time.

Not sooner, not too late......

Regardless of the fact that in his heart now, he already has an inexplicable attachment to her that is obviously different from others, just talking about business......

She only handed over the key technologies necessary for the two businesses they worked on, and he knew that she still left a lot of "back roads" for herself......

But he believed very much that she was going to keep the techniques in her own head "temporarily", and what she said was true!

I don't know how valuable the technology in her head is?!

But, just by virtue of the necessary skills for the two businesses she had now provided him, he trusted her vision!

Don't suspect people, don't doubt people!

Since she has already said that she will definitely have great development prospects, then she will definitely have great development prospects!

It's just that it may really be like what she said before, she still has a lot of skills, and she needs to wait for the right conditions before she can develop them......

In Qiu Yueze's opinion, a talent like Gao Ran, the skills she has in her head, her talent, and her many novel ideas, all of which are very valuable in his eyes!

And he's realized that, in addition to that, there's something else that sets her apart from the rest - she's the first, and so far, the only one who can get into his heart!

The moment she approached him and took his hand, she had already entered his heart-and he, despite his first reaction at that time, was to resist, but his heart did not listen......

In the face of the choices his heart made on its own, he was powerless to resist......

He had to admit that it was from that moment that he developed an inexplicable attachment to her.

It's like a person who has lived in an endless dark world for a long time suddenly sees a faint light around him......

At that moment, he had only one thought, he wanted to hold on to that faint "light" and not let go!

He can do nothing!

Just let him keep that little bit of "light"!

Because, only Gao Ran, who is like "bright light", and her existence zài, finally has it in his world, which may be called the existence of something "hope......

remembered that Gao Ran once blurted out that he was "greedy"......

When he heard this, he actually felt a little bitter in his heart......

Because Gao Ran will never know that for him, his real greed is to want to keep Gao Ran in his world forever!

Even if Gao Ran was just a faint "light" that appeared in his world, it was enough for him to illuminate his entire world!

Because, in his opinion, his world, in fact, can be narrowed to accommodate only the two of them because of her......

But this qiē, he will never sue sù Gao Ran.

And Gao Ran, naturally, will not know.

Because, although she and Qiu Yueze have similar fears and similar loneliness, they chose completely different methods to "save" themselves when they were still alone......

So, now, when they meet each other, they don't mean the same thing to each other.

For Gao Ran, she is no longer afraid of being alone.

Her companionship with Qiu Yueze, for her, is actually more, and she just wants to make up for herself - to make some compensation to the once young self in her heart......

And Qiu Yueze regards her company as the only "light of hope" in his dark world!

He no longer believes that this world will be beautiful?!

Therefore, when his world finally has such a faint "light", he will naturally want to regard her more as the only "light" and the only "hope" left in his life and his whole world!

With concerns in his heart, Qiu Yueze began to hesitate......

"Then, what if one day, the royal family uses the lives of your 'Gao family' to blackmail you? !

It's not that Qiu Yueze is cautious, but this kind of thing is indeed very likely to happen in the future!

Even if it is a "Gao family", in front of the interests that the royal family wants, what "past merits" ...... All of them are vulnerable!

In the face of interests, the royal family can turn their faces and deny people at any time!

When asked by Qiu Yueze, Gao Ran not only did not hesitate, but blurted out almost without thinking, "That's not easy!

"What do you mean?!" Qiu Yueze couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He had obviously been intrigued by Gao Ran's unexpected reaction.

"Hehe, haven't you heard of what is called 'fox fake tiger might'?!If the royal family dares to threaten me with the 'Gao family', then I will use their entire royal family to threaten themselves!"

"Huh?" Qiu Yueze was a little confused at first, but in the next moment, he understood the meaning of Gao Ran's words.

Still, he wanted to hear her say it herself.

So, he chimed in very cooperatively, "Interesting!

"Hehe, since they dare to threaten me with the 'Gao family', then I will use you to threaten them!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ran looked directly into Qiu Yueze's eyes with great confidence, and then said, "Since I can have your personal token, then I must have the 'value' worthy of letting me have this token for you!

"Heh, you really dare to say it!" Qiu Yueze did not deny her statement, but just teased her a little playfully.

"What don't you dare to say?! I'm telling the truth!"

"Well, it's true!"

Qiu Yueze saw that Gao Ran was ridiculed by herself, not only did she not feel embarrassed, but she also said her true thoughts very frankly.

Since she can be so frank as a woman, why should he bother to admit it?!

He, Qiu Yueze, is not the kind of person who twists!

"So, since the royal family will be jealous of you, then you must have the capital to make them jealous!

"Then, what if they are not afraid of your threat and really destroy the 'Gao family' full house?!"

"They don't dare! The royal family will never joke with their own lives! Without their lives, what do they need power and wealth for......?!

"Just what?"

"It's just ......" a faint sadness began to appear in Gao Ran's eyes, "The royal family is the royal family after all." In order for them to be able to sleep in peace, I am afraid that I will have to completely draw a line with the 'Gao family'! I must let everyone in the world know that I, Gao Ran, will completely sever relations with the 'Gao family' and will never be the 'Gao family' again!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of it again, and in her previous life, she chose to cut off relations with her parents for the sake of freedom......

"Could it be that this is my fate?! I can't escape from my previous life, and I still can't escape from this life......

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Ran instinctively prevented herself from continuing to indulge in the memories that had been slightly opened by her......

Her instinctive sense of self-protection gave her a "warning" in a precautionary manner - if she continued to sink, she would be sad and sad!

She didn't want to be sad, she didn't want to be sad, and she didn't want to gradually blur her goals and lose herself because of this, but she was just endlessly immersed in sadness and pain......

Therefore, she chose to follow the "warning" issued by her heart as soon as possible, and while she could still control herself, she quickly collected her mind and pulled her thoughts and feelings back to the present in this world again.

"It turns out that you have already thought it through......"

Qiu Yueze's implication was that she had already expected that in the future, she would inevitably completely sever ties with the "Gao family".

"Well, I've figured it out a long time ago! So, I have to start preparing now! Not only do I need to accumulate enough wealth, but I also need a backer like you! and...... On that day, I will take my father away so that he can live with me in the future...... So, until then, I have to make a deal with my mother to convince her to release my father and let him go with me......"

"Hmm...... It seems that the troubles you will have to solve in the future are not only the royal family......"

"Oh, there's no way, the 'big family' is like this! The most complicated thing is always the so-called 'family', the relationship of interests between the so-called 'family', which is constantly cut and sorted out ......."

"However, I'm sure you can handle it!" Qiu Yueze suddenly gave Gao Ran a rare word of encouragement that was very affirmative.

Then, he took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, which had been so blackened by smoke that he couldn't see its true face at all, and put it in Gao Ran's hand very carefully.

Then, together with Gao Ran's hand holding the jade pendant, he wrapped it tightly in his hand, and said to her with a solemn expression, "This jade pendant was taken out of my father's corpse back then...... At that time, my house had already been burned to the ground by the enemy. And my father and mother were also killed by the enemy! And then he threw them into the fire and let the fire burn together!"

Speaking of this, in Qiu Yueze's eyes, a raging fire appeared in an instant, as if he wanted to burn the enemy he hated in his heart!

"On the night that the enemy brought people to wash our house in blood, I was hidden by my father in a secret room built at the bottom of my family's flower bed, and I escaped...... It's just that I didn't come out of the secret room until dawn...... Then I saw that my original home had been burned to the ground, and even the bodies of my father and mother had already been burned to charcoal......

Gao Ran listened, couldn't bear to listen to Qiu Yueze continue to force himself to recall that painful memory, and was about to speak, but he put his fingers to his lips......

"Listen to me!" he stopped.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Gao Ran didn't want to say anything, so he had to nod at him.

"If I hadn't found this jade pendant from that black corpse...... I didn't even know that he ...... It's my father!"

After speaking, Qiu Yueze's tears had overflowed his eyes, but because he was holding back hard, he never flowed out of his eyes......

Gao Ran held the jade pendant tightly and broke free from Qiu Yueze's hand.

Then, she pressed the jade pendant tightly to her chest, and promised Qiu Yueze very seriously, "Don't worry, I will cherish it as much as I cherish my life! It is in me! If it is lost, I will lose this life, and I will find it back! If it is broken by me, then I will take my own life and pay you for it!"

When Qiu Yueze heard this, he laughed.

And his tears still didn't flow out of his eyes after all......

He looked at Gao Ran's eyes, and began to have a little more doting.

He stroked Gao Ran's hair and said with a smile, "Silly girl, no matter how important this jade pendant is, it is not as important as your life!

Although his smile was very light at this time, it was rare for Gao Ran to feel a little gentle about him.

But, what he said......

For some reason, Gao Ran always felt that something was weird?!

Especially his sentence - "I will still punish you!"

How do you listen to it, how do you feel that something is wrong?!

Raise your eyes again to see Qiu Yueze's gentle smile like a spring breeze at this time......

"Isn't it a knife in a smile?!Punish me?!Shouldn't it be because you want me to live rather than die?!mm!Doing that is indeed much more cruel than simply taking my life......

It's not that Gao Ran wants to spend his "gentleman's belly" with his "villain's heart......

Rather, from the first day she met Qiu Yueze, the person she knew was not a frank "gentleman" at all!

On the contrary, he was the most dangerous person she had ever seen!

Such a person, in Gao Ran's opinion, if he is more gentle and harmless, it shows that he is more dangerous!

"Hehe......" Gao Ran's voice trembled slightly, and he laughed dryly twice.

She knew that from the moment she made her choice, she was already on a path of "no return".

So, even though she knew how dangerous it was to take it, she still had to take it—because she really needed it!

A qiē choice comes at a price!

The more rare the thing you want, the greater the risk you need to take!

Freedom, too!

So, she didn't have a choice!

Because, a qiē, is her own choice!
