【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 81: Moving Forward Firmly

The night was as dark as ink, and the lights of the city seemed weak and powerless in the thick darkness. Lin Yanan stood alone in front of the window, looking at the night outside, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Since the fight with Zheng Liqing got into a stalemate, Lin Yanan's life seemed to be shrouded in a haze. Zheng Liqing's suppression methods emerged in an endless stream, like a raging storm, ruthlessly impacting Lin Yanan's world.

Zheng Liqing first used her connections to spread all kinds of negative rumors about Lin Yanan's company in the industry. Those rumors were like vicious thorns, spreading rapidly, stabbing the company's reputation and causing partners to doubt and waver about Lin Yanan's company.

Then, she secretly colluded with some suppliers to deliberately delay delivery or provide low-quality raw materials. This was like planting time bombs on Lin Yanan's production line, which could cause production accidents and product quality problems at any time.

In the market, Zheng Liqing resorted to ruthless tactics. She instructed her subordinates to maliciously lower prices and launched a fierce price war with Lin Yanan's company. This was like a cruel tug-of-war game, and Lin Yanan's company was dragged to the brink of failure little by little.

Not only that, Zheng Liqing often appeared in front of Lin Yanan in person to provoke her, wearing gorgeous clothes, dazzling jewelry, and a smug and contemptuous smile on her face.

"Lin Yanan, do you think you can beat me? Look at how miserable you are now, like a homeless stray cat." Zheng Liqing's voice was sharp and piercing, like a cold wind blowing through Lin Yanan's heart.

However, whenever Lin Yanan felt tired and frustrated, Ruan Jianan would always appear by her side in time. He was like a warm lighthouse, guiding Lin Yanan in this dark ocean.

Ruan Jianan would gently hold Lin Yanan in his arms and say in his gentle but firm voice: "Yanan, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side. She, Zheng Liqing, is just a grasshopper after autumn, and she won't be able to jump for long."

He would prepare exquisite food for Lin Yanan, so that she could feel a little warmth and comfort when she was tired. His eyes were full of pampering and trust, as if Lin Yanan was the most precious baby in his world.

Faced with Zheng Liqing's suppression and provocation, Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan decided to continue their in-depth investigation and not give up the hope of revenge. They were like two injured but still brave lions, ready to face a more intense battle.

Lin Yanan began to study the company's business more deeply, looking for Zheng Liqing's flaws. Her eyes were often bloodshot, but there was an unyielding flame burning in her eyes.

Ruan Jianan used his own resources to collect intelligence everywhere. He shuttled between various social occasions, interacted with all kinds of people, and did not miss any clues that might be useful.

In the process, their feelings became deeper, and every difficulty was like a grindstone, making their love stronger.

One day, Lin Yanan was busy in the office until late at night. Ruan Jianan walked in quietly with a warm shawl in his hand.

"Honey, don't be too tired." Ruan Jianan gently put a shawl on Lin Yanan and gently stroked her hair with his fingers.

Lin Yanan raised her head and looked at Ruan Jianan, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Jian'an, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

Ruan Jianan smiled and gave Lin Yanan an affectionate kiss on the forehead.
