Chapter 66

Qin Yan ignored how Lin Yan's expression kept changing; she looked at Lu Qianchuan, raised an eyebrow, and suddenly cleared her throat.

She said loudly, "I have said everything that needs to be said. Mr. Lu, if you are not satisfied, you can choose not to accept this project; there are plenty of people who want it!"

"..." Lu Qianchuan instantly understood her meaning after hearing her words.

She did not want to go public.

And she wanted to keep acting.

His tone was firm, "Miss Qin, you are just an assistant working for your teacher; don't be too arrogant. Messing up this project won't do you any good either!"

Qin Yan snorted coldly and turned to leave in anger.

Lu Qianchuan watched her dainty huff and her cute foot-stamping, nearly unable to hold back a laugh. Only after noticing Lin Yan's gaze did he restrain his expression, his handsome face turning gloomy, "Miss Qin's temper is really..."

"Unreasonable, right?" Lin Yan saw that he seemed extremely angry and couldn't find the right word, so she helped him out.

"Miss Qin, relying on our President's doting, has a spoiled and very wild temper. It has become even more obvious since the two of them got their marriage certificate. Mr. Lu, please don't take offense."

"..." Lu Qianchuan was expressionless.

Although he had deliberately paused to let her take over the conversation, he felt unhappy inside after hearing her words.

"Mr. Lu, then I will congratulate you first on winning the scientific research project." Lin Yan smiled, trying to get on his good side.

"A narrow victory."

Lu Qianchuan was modest, then glanced at her and said, "President Gu said he was determined to win, so of course I had to compete. After all, this matter isn't about personal favors; it's about interests."

Lin Yan heard his mockery of how naive Gu He'an was to think he could win this partnership by relying on his relationship with Qin Yan, while he, Lu Qianchuan, had presented conditions that moved Dean Shi more, which was the deciding factor.

In terms of scheming, Lu Qianchuan was a cut above.

The weight of Lu Qianchuan in her heart tilted further.

"Mr. Lu makes sense. Then, to celebrate your victory, I would like to treat you to dinner. I wonder if I might have that honor?" Lin Yan took the initiative to invite him.

Lu Qianchuan turned his head to look at her, noticed the eagerness in her eyes, and calmly agreed.

"I'll add your contact information, and I'll book the restaurant."

Lin Yan nodded immediately. She had felt some regret when Lu Qianchuan had offered to add her contact information last time and she hadn't agreed; she hadn't expected him to propose it again.

After the two took out their phones to add each other, Lu Qianchuan said he still had work to do and they would see each other in the evening.

Lin Yan watched his departing back, feeling joyful in her heart.

Agreeing to have a meal with her—wasn't that agreeing to further contact with her!

However, she still had to tell Gu He'an about Qin Yan handing the scientific research project over to Lu Qianchuan.

When she returned to the company, Gu He'an learned that Lu Qianchuan had won the project and immediately called Qin Yan with an ugly expression.

"Qin Yan, didn't you say you would find a way?"

Qin Yan said aggrievedly, "I thought of many ways, but Teacher still insisted on handing the project to the Lu Corporation. I even deliberately found Lu Qianchuan and said some nasty things to provoke him, wanting to sabotage this cooperation, but none of it worked."

"No matter what method you use, you just cannot let Lu Qianchuan have his way. Qin Yan, even if my Gu Corporation doesn't get the scientific research project, we absolutely cannot let the Lu Corporation succeed!"

Qin Yan cooperated and said, "I will find a way. However, Teacher has already made the decision, and it's hard to change. But Teacher let me be in charge of the project's follow-up. Once it goes into production, I will deliberately make things difficult for him, causing problems in production. I will definitely make Lu Qianchuan lose everything!"

Gu He'an thought this was a good idea, which was why Lin Yan said that Qin Yan meeting Lu Qianchuan today was to help him.

Qin Yan added, "I didn't let the Gu Corporation win this project, He'an, please don't be angry with me. I can transfer the Gu Corporation shares I hold to you, is that okay?"

Gu He'an was surprised, not expecting this unexpected joy, "That's fine, but don't lie to me again."

"Okay, prepare the transfer contract. Accompany me for dinner tonight, and we'll sign the contract."

After Gu He'an hung up the phone, a smile finally appeared on his face. He met Lin Yan's gaze nearby, walked over, hugged her, and kissed her on the cheek.

"Although the scientific research project wasn't won, Qin Yan will give me all her shares."

Lin Yan was also somewhat pleasantly surprised, hugging him and acting spoiled, "Then you promised me, you can't go back on your word."

"Of course! As soon as I get the shares, I'll transfer them to you immediately. Lin Yan, very soon we can go public with our relationship and hold our wedding!"

"Okay!"

The smile on Lin Yan's face faded. Since there was a better pursuit, her relationship with Gu He'an should also be ended.

Since Qin Yan wanted it so much, then she would give it back to her.

Evening.

Gu He'an drove to the restaurant Qin Yan mentioned. Walking into the restaurant, he had just sat down when he discovered Qin Yan was wearing a crimson coat that really complemented her skin tone, making her look charming and moving.

The Qin Yan of the past had never cared much about her image. When she took care of him, she was often disheveled and had no aesthetic appeal.

He knew perfectly well that Qin Yan loved him.

He had also loved her once. When he was desperate and dying, trapped in boundless darkness, she was like a ray of morning glow shining into his world, the warm light illuminating his world bit by bit.

When his love was intense, he would look at her and feel a warmth in his heart.

As he walked independently and became free to move, his world no longer needed her.

That ethereal love gradually became pale and boring.

At this time, Lin Yan, beautiful and gorgeous, like a charming and seductive rose, appeared before his eyes. The moment she rushed into his arms, she surrounded him with a fragrance.

Lin Yan was once the daughter of the Lin Family. She was delicate and cute, exquisite and beautiful, with a hot figure, and she would also act spoiled to please him.

Because her family went bankrupt, her thorns were clipped, and she could only fall into his palm. When she looked at him with dependent eyes, he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her.

Everyone around him hoped he wouldn't let her down, feeling they were a match made in heaven, while Qin Yan was just a wild girl from the countryside who was simply unworthy of him.

He felt the same way.

So he chose Lin Yan and got a real marriage certificate with her.

Although he felt indebted to Qin Yan, she brought him benefits, so he gave her a fake marriage certificate.

This marriage was like weaving a dream for Qin Yan, and now, the dream was shattered.

However, once she transferred the shares she held to him and she had nothing left, he wouldn't mind keeping her by his side.

Because the experience that night really made him somewhat nostalgic.

She couldn't be a wife, but she could be a mistress.

She loved his person, and he wanted her body; this was also a form of fulfillment for her.

"Qin Yan, you look very beautiful today." He spoke first to compliment her.

He knew she had dressed up specifically to meet him, which showed she was really looking forward to seeing him.

This woman had never hidden her love for him.

"Thanks for the compliment," Qin Yan smiled and sat down. She took the menu, ordered two dishes, and handed the menu back to him, "What do you want to eat?"

"You know my taste, you order." Gu He'an pushed the menu back and took out a contract, "Qin Yan, I brought the share transfer contract."

"Alright then." Qin Yan ordered five dishes, all of which she liked to eat herself.

What his taste was, what did that have to do with her!

Putting down the menu, she then looked at the contract.

"Although I am very angry about missing this project, I also know that this is not something you can decide." Gu He'an stared at her with gentle eyes and said, "Although the shares are transferred to me, we are husband and wife; this is our common property."

"Qin Yan, sign it." Gu He'an handed her the pen.
