Chapter 41

Shi Laoshi heard her choking, his tone deepened, carrying a hint of pleading.

"You stay at school, help me finish what I haven't finished. Qin Yan, I'm not at ease handing some things to others."

He was using his life to threaten her.

A sense of powerlessness and indignation surged in Qin Yan's heart.

She glared at him with red eyes and said, "You rely on me being soft-hearted and come to force me again. Teacher, you know better than anyone that I don't want to continue on this path."

If she wanted to walk this path, she would have chosen to pursue a postgraduate degree back then, instead of quitting after her internship.

She had tried it, she didn't want to do this industry.

Shi Laoshi was stunned, there was a hint of shame in his eyes, but he covered it up, smiled bitterly, and said, "That's why I'm suffering retribution, there's something life-taking in my body."

"..."

Qin Yan clenched her teeth, her masseter muscles bulging, "Using such a sinister trick to deal with me, don't worry, in a few years, I won't let you, this thousand-year-old fox, go find my grandfather!"

"That depends on your ability."

Getting her answer, Shi Laoshi was happy, laughing especially heartily.

Carrying the book out of the office, Qin Yan was in low spirits.

On the wooden chair by the school pond, although there was sun shining on her, she felt cold all over, her hands and feet icy.

Shi Laoshi was the person who was best to her besides her grandparents.

He was also the person who was most cruel to her!

But just like back then, he told her over and over again that her grandfather hoped she could study at a medical university, so even if she didn't want to study medicine anymore, she still came to this university to fulfill her grandfather's wish.

But now, he was like this again, using his life to threaten her. If she didn't accept his hope, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

But what can she do, she couldn't bear to refuse.

Qin Yan rubbed her eyes. She was very rational and clear that indulging in sadness couldn't solve any problems.

Being cheated in marriage was like this.

Deciding on a future career was also like this.

But she was still so sad in her heart, for Shi Laoshi's illness, for the path he required her to take.

Not far away, Lu Qianchuan was walking out of the laboratory building with Assistant Shen, preparing to walk to the parking lot.

Lu Qianchuan's gaze inadvertently swept over the figure on the wooden chair and stopped.

He didn't see the person's face clearly, just the figure and back, it felt like her.

"CEO, what's wrong?" Assistant Shen saw him stop and asked in confusion, following his gaze, looking around, but didn't see anything unusual.

Lu Qianchuan waved at him, "You wait in the car, I'm going to find my wife."

"...?" Assistant Shen looked again. In his field of vision, there wasn't even a woman.

Is the CEO thinking about his wife so much he's gone crazy?

"CEO, your wife couldn't be a mermaid swimming in this lake, could she?"

Lu Qianchuan turned his head to look at him, "Fairy tales poison the brain, Assistant Shen. Also, being blind is a disease, go register at the hospital when you have time."

"..." He wanted to see where the CEO would find a wife!

It wouldn't be that the CEO had married a new one, would it?

He watched Lu Qianchuan walk forward, then pass through a corridor, cross a small forest, and stand by the wooden chair by the lake.

He chased a few steps, ran over, and saw clearly that there was a blurry figure sitting on the wooden chair.

Now identifying carefully, he could see it was a woman, but the woman was covering her face with her hand, and he couldn't see her face at all.

Since when did the CEO have X-ray vision to be able to recognize his wife like this!

Feeling the sunlight on her body being blocked, Qin Yan was confused. After taking her hand away, she looked forward.

Because she was facing the light, her eyes were a bit sore, and she could only see the blurry outline. A tall figure slowly squatted in front of her, and only then did she identify that it was a man.

It was the man she chose, Lu Qianchuan.

"You, why are you here?" She was a bit shocked.

"Understanding the research project, I didn't expect to meet you either." Lu Qianchuan held a tissue in his hand, saw her eyes were a bit red, and there were undried tears on her eyelashes. He furrowed his brows and raised his hand to help her wipe them.

Qin Yan turned her head to dodge, took the tissue from his hand, and said thank you in a hoarse voice.

Lu Qianchuan sat down beside her, hesitating, "Is, is there anyone who made you unhappy? I am your husband, I can't be a decoration, you should use me."

Qin Yan knew he was comforting her and said with a smile, "It was used quite well last night, and it wasn't a decoration either."

"..." Lu Qianchuan.

Qin Yan turned to look at him, met his dark, deep eyes, coughed lightly, "Just a joke, don't be so serious. No one bullied me, I just, encountered some things."

"Can you tell me?"

"My teacher is sick, very seriously sick. He wants me to stay at school and do the things he hasn't finished." Qin Yan said in a low voice.

Lu Qianchuan observed her emotions. He did business and dealt with people, habitually observing people's emotions and then making decisions, but facing Qin Yan, he was a bit at a loss and appeared even more careful.

"Those things for you, will make you difficult, is that it?"

Qin Yan looked up at him, not knowing how to explain for a moment. Sometimes when it's hard to choose, having someone by your side to listen might alleviate the anxiety in your heart.

"It is a bit difficult, it's a thing, I don't really want to do."

She tried to make him understand, "For example, you marry someone you have no feelings for, you have to stay together every day, but in this marriage, you will experience many troubles and encounter very terrible things. Maybe this state will last a lifetime, what would you do?"

"..." Lu Qianchuan.

Is it a lifetime? That is his extravagant hope.

"Before entering marriage, I will consider it seriously, but getting along with people, or doing an unknown thing, all carry risks. But because of the unknown risks of the future, worrying now cannot help the future solve any problems.

If problems appear in the future, they should be left to the future to handle. You now, do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"

Qin Yan shook her head quickly, "I'm just assuming a possibility."

Lu Qianchuan was not an emotional person, didn't really know how to comfort people, so he used mathematics to analyze with her.

"Possibility represents probability. Since it is probability, that is fifty percent good and fifty percent bad. Stubbornly worrying about that fifty percent bad affects the current mood, and discards the expectation and longing for the fifty percent good. Losing the big for the small, the loss is greater."

Qin Yan laughed, "Perhaps it's my teacher being sick, making my mood very terrible, so I fell into negative emotions."

Negative emotions are like a fog, shrouding people inside, letting negative emotions ferment, becoming a kind of damp clothes with a foul smell, sticking to the body, making people itch all over, but unable to take them off.

But his words were like a push, pushing her out of the fog. Sunlight shone on her face again, and she felt a bit of warmth.

Lu Qianchuan heard her voice become a bit lighter, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you at school for something, or?"

"My teacher, let me substitute teach, I am preparing..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a phone ring; it was an unfamiliar number.

Qin Yan said sorry, pressed answer, but unexpectedly, Lin Yan's voice came through.

"Miss Qin, where are you now?"

"Where I am, does it have anything to do with you?"

Lin Yan's voice was urgent, "It's like this, Aunt Gu's old illness has recurred, and she has been sent to the hospital. She is lying there feeling uncomfortable now. I heard from Sanshan that her previous illness was treated by you.

Miss Qin, Aunt Gu is your mother-in-law after all. Don't ignore your mother-in-law because of a small conflict with the CEO. Come to the hospital quickly to see her."

Qin Yan sneered, whose mother-in-law is she exactly?

Lin Yan not only plays moral kidnapping but also outsources filial piety.
