Chapter 127: The Person Lu Qianchuan Likes Is Qin Yan!

Lin Yan, who was just about to go upstairs, suddenly saw Lu Qianchuan standing at the top of the stairs, and her eyes lit up.

She hadn't expected to meet him here; it really was fate.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to greet him, she noticed Qin Yan being led out by him, and her pupils constricted, causing her to freeze instantly.

That these two were together was not exactly a surprise, but for Lu Qianchuan to be holding this woman's hand was very strange.

"Good evening, Mr. Lu." In the end, it was Lin Yan who spoke up to greet him first.

"Good evening, Miss Lin." Lu Qianchuan nodded politely. Noticing Qin Yan trying to shake off his hand, he tilted his head to look at her, and instead of letting go, he pulled her tighter.

"Mr. Lu, and Qin Yan, what is this?" Lin Yan stared at the two of them with a forced smile, seeking an explanation.

Didn't he say he liked her?

Why was he getting tangled up with another woman again?

"Dining." Lu Qianchuan said the two words bluntly. Not wanting to get entangled with her, he led Qin Yan straight past her and walked downstairs with long strides.

Qin Yan saw Lin Yan's hurt expression, and when she met her gaze, it was gloomy and terrifying, which was somewhat laughable.

How did it end up looking like she had stolen Lin Yan's man?

Back then, she knew full well that she was engaged to Gu He'an, yet she still had an illicit affair with Gu He'an, registered her marriage with Gu He'an, and even deceived her.

Hmph.

Being dragged downstairs by Lu Qianchuan and walking out of the restaurant, she could still feel Lin Yan's venomous gaze, but she didn't care at all.

Staring at the backs of the two as they left, Lin Yan narrowed her cold eyes.

Although Lu Qianchuan had not explicitly stated their relationship, Qin Yan's triumphant appearance made her feel hateful inside.

Qin Yan had actually snatched her man again!

She would definitely make her pay the price!

Taking out her phone, she called Gu He'an.

Returning to the apartment, they met Zhuang Sitian waiting at the door.

"Why are you waiting here?" Qin Yan asked in confusion, seeing that she was still carrying a bag of fruit.

"I heard you were sick, are you feeling better now?" Zhuang Sitian looked at Qin Yan with concern, while glancing awkwardly at Lu Qianchuan.

Yesterday, she had wanted to come see Qin Yan, but she was rejected by him; he didn't want anyone to disturb her recovery, so she had no choice but to wait here to see how Qin Yan was doing.

Seeing Qin Yan open the door, she followed her in and explained, "I'm planning to go back tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye to you."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I should have prepared a farewell dinner for you." Qin Yan held her hand with reluctance; she didn't have many friends, but she got along well with Zhuang Sitian.

"No need, you should rest well while you're sick. When I graduate and return to the country, you can make me something I like to eat then."

Lu Qianchuan went to pour two glasses of water and set them down. "You two chat slowly, I'm going to the study."

Qin Yan nodded, and after he went to the study and closed the door, she asked, "Did something happen that you're in such a rush to go back?"

Zhuang Sitian's expression was somewhat complex. She sat down with her to drink water before slowly saying, "My brother told me to go back, saying that since I've been staying by Lu Qianchuan's side, people who don't know better might think I have a crush on him."

"..." Qin Yan was left speechless.

"I see that you don't need me to play-act with you anymore; your relationship with Mr. Lu should be able to be made public now, right?" Zhuang Sitian stared at her and asked.

Qin Yan paused, picked up her water glass, and drank half of it before saying, "If we're going to get a divorce, then there's no need to make it public."

"Ah, why do you want a divorce? Did something happen?" Zhuang Sitian hadn't expected that in just a few days, these two would be talking about divorce. "Have you communicated your desire for a divorce with Lu Qianchuan?"

"I told him, but he didn't agree, and he even said..."

"What happened?" Seeing her strange expression, Zhuang Sitian was even more worried.

"He also said he likes me. I'm just puzzled; didn't we cooperate for the sake of benefits? How could he suddenly like me? He clearly had someone he liked before, and I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so fickle."

Zhuang Sitian held her water glass, and despite not actually drinking, she almost choked.

Seeing Qin Yan's confused and incredulous expression, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

If Lu Qianchuan didn't like her, how could he possibly have registered a marriage certificate with her?

"Is it possible that the person Mr. Lu liked before was you?"

Qin Yan scoffed, "I didn't even know him before, how could he have liked me? That's just too ridiculous."

"..." Zhuang Sitian also felt it was strange, but as for what exactly happened here, only Mr. Lu himself probably knew.

But there was one thing she was very clear about: the person Lu Qianchuan liked was Qin Yan!

"Then you two registered your marriage, isn't it a good thing that he likes you? Why are you so resistant?"

Qin Yan spread her hands innocently. "Heaven and earth are my witness, I was seriously talking business and discussing benefits with him, but he wanted to talk about love with me and refused to divorce."

"He married me while he had someone he liked; who knows if his liking for me is real or fake?"

"If it's real, will it be a burden on your heart?"

"How can you be sure it's real? You aren't him. What if it's fake?" Qin Yan retorted. She had many doubts regarding his sudden confession.

Zhuang Sitian held her hand, looked at her with calm eyes, and asked, "Do you not believe him, or do you not believe that good feelings can land on you?"

Qin Yan was stunned. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. "Both."

She felt Lu Qianchuan was a decent person, but once feelings were involved, just being a decent person wasn't enough.

Because once you set your heart on someone, you care about them; once you have feelings, you expect a response. If the other party doesn't give the same response, it leads to anger and disappointment, which disrupts life and makes one's mood uncontrollable.

She had already experienced it once, and she was a little afraid.

So she only wanted cooperation; she only wanted to experience a physical relationship without emotional involvement, wanting to retain the decisiveness to separate immediately whenever she wanted.

Zhuang Sitian chuckled and squeezed her hand. "I can understand how you feel. The person I have a crush on says he cares about me, but turns around and looks for other women. So I feel that I should handle my own feelings myself, not have any more expectations of him, and certainly not think he will only be devoted to me."

Listening to her talk about her own feelings, Qin Yan hugged her with a pained heart.

"Enjoy happiness, experience the feeling of love; it doesn't have to be a man. You can exercise, travel, read books, or do things you like. You still have so much, so much wonderful, intense, and great time ahead."

Zhuang Sitian nodded with a smile. "I hope these words can comfort me, and also comfort you. Don't let yourself be trapped in a cage because of a failed relationship, unable to see beautiful people and things. When I graduate, we can plan a trip, and then you can take me to find good food."

"Okay."

If her health could always remain good, without her falling ill, she would also like to experience the experience of traveling with a good friend.

The two chatted a lot more; Zhuang Sitian did not come this time to be Lu Qianchuan's helper.

She treated Qin Yan as a friend and did not dare to interfere in her relationship.

The next day, Lu Qianchuan and Qin Yan went together to take Zhuang Sitian to the airport.

But Zhuang Sitian felt that having Mr. Lu act as her driver was something she could not quite bear, and she wanted to refuse.

But Qin Yan wanted to see her off, and Lu Qianchuan insisted on driving for the two of them, so she had no choice but to agree.

Because there was still plenty of time, halfway there, Qin Yan had Lu Qianchuan turn the car up a mountain; she wanted to go up the mountain to pray for a Peace Talisman for Zhuang Sitian.

Zhuang Sitian felt curious and followed him into a Taoist Temple.
