Chapter 1410: She Decides to Cooperate with Him

~7 min read 1,371 words

Such a decision was incomprehensible to Wang Yaran.

She asked, "You don't want to have a child to inherit everything you have?"

"I don't. My views on having offspring are very weak; I don't care about it at all."

"The reason you think this way... is likely because your wife is unable to conceive."

The words Wang Yaran spoke were always probing.

Qin Yiyan had limited patience.

His physical strength was also limited.

He did not want to keep dragging this out, so he simply admitted, "You're right about that. I only want to have children with my wife; if that's not possible, then I'd rather not have any. If some people push me too far... I wouldn't mind undergoing a minor, permanent procedure."

These words made Wang Yaran press her lips together tightly.

Qin Yiyan knew that Wang Yaran understood what his words were implying.

But to make this woman feel a bit more of a sense of crisis, Qin Yiyan emphasized it once more: "While things haven't reached that final step yet, and while you still have some capital in your hands, make the choice that is most advantageous to you."

Wang Yaran fell silent.

A moment later, she asked, "Can you really help me?"

"Of course."

"Fine, I can stop pestering you, but I need to facilitate a partnership as soon as possible so that I can gain a firm foothold in the family!"

Wang Yaran made her choice.

She decided to cooperate with Qin Yiyan!

This result did not make Qin Yiyan feel surprised.

He smiled faintly and said, "When I was investigating you, my assistant was already researching a suitable partnership plan; it won't take more than a few days for there to be a result."

Qin Yiyan thought of something and added, "Oh, right, before the results come out, don't come and harass me."

"Are you planning to..."

"Accompany my wife."

Through these few encounters with Qin Yiyan, Wang Yaran had already fully learned of this man's methods and coldness.

Yet, such a person kept a piece of softness reserved solely for one woman.

This exception made Wang Yaran sigh involuntarily: "You are really good to your wife."

Good?

Qin Yiyan tugged at the corner of his mouth slightly and remarked with emotion, "If you knew what I had done in the past, you wouldn't say that."

As his voice fell, Qin Yiyan made a gesture toward someone not far away.

After a while, that person walked over, looking unwilling.

Once standing before Qin Yiyan, Liu Qingze muttered, "Bringing you here is one thing, but why must I be at your beck and call!"

Qin Yiyan said as a matter of course, "Because you are my brother-in-law."

"You... say that again and I will fall out with you!!"

"Alright, Qing Ze."

Qin Yiyan went along with the flow and did not say those three words again.

But even without saying them, why was Liu Qingze still so unhappy?

It was just a very stifling feeling!

He looked toward Wang Yaran's direction again.

When he was far away just now, he felt this woman looked somewhat like his sister.

Now that he was closer, it felt even more so.

Suddenly, two words surfaced in Liu Qingze's mind: counterfeit.

Since it was a counterfeit, it naturally couldn't compare to the original.

This woman did not possess that cold, aloof aura his sister had.

Especially the way she looked at people; it was complex and worldly.

Just as Liu Qingze was silently evaluating her, Qin Yiyan grabbed his arm and stood up.

"Let's go, it's time to go home."

Qin Yiyan's words made Liu Qingze frown in annoyance, and he emphasized, "That is my home!"

This emphasis made Qin Yiyan look helpless: "You, why are you like a child, wanting to argue over everything."

For a moment, Liu Qingze felt guilty, as if he really were being too petty and not magnanimous at all.

But then he thought about it...

It was clearly Qin Yiyan who was speaking ambiguously and being intentionally vague!

Liu Qingze prepared to say something to turn the tables.

But turning his head, he saw Qin Yiyan's exhausted appearance.

His complexion also seemed to have paled a bit.

After all, his injuries had not yet healed; tossing about like this was pushing it too far.

Liu Qingze silently withdrew his gaze and, in the end, said nothing.

Meanwhile, Wang Yaran looked back at the two men's retreating figures and narrowed her eyes slightly.

On the way back to the Liu Family, Qin Yiyan kept his eyes closed to rest the entire time.

Liu Qingze did not know if he was asleep or if his body was uncomfortable, so he did not speak to disturb him.

However, when the car drove to the front of the house, this man did open his eyes.

Then, with Liu Qingze's help, he entered the house.

However, the moment they stepped into the living room, the two of them were collectively dumbfounded.

At this moment, a figure was standing prettily in the living room.

Hearing footsteps behind her, that person turned her head.

It was actually Liu Xin'ai!!

Seeing Qin Yiyan and Liu Qingze, Liu Xin'ai's beautiful eyebrows could not help but furrow.

And after a brief moment of stunned silence, Liu Qingze spoke first: "Sister, why have you come back?"

"To pick up some things," Liu Xin'ai's brows did not smooth out and remained furrowed, "You two, did you go out together?"

"Yeah, Qin Yiyan felt bored, so I took him out to clear his head!"

Liu Qingze explained quickly, and in a few short sentences, cleared himself of any involvement first.

Hearing his words, Liu Xin'ai looked at Qin Yiyan and asked in an unfriendly tone: "Out to clear your head?"

Qin Yiyan was sighing internally, but on the surface, he still had to maintain a smile: "... Yes."

Liu Xin'ai could not laugh, and she opened her mouth to reprimand him: "Don't you know what your condition is? You feel bored so you go out to clear your head? What if your wound splits open again!?"

If Qin Yiyan were simply clearing his head, then he would deserve to be scolded.

But he wasn't!

Yet he did not want to make Liu Xin'ai worry, so he could only take the blame and muttered in a low voice: "I was very careful."

"Being careful isn't enough! If you really feel bored here, you can just go back to your own place to live!"

Liu Xin'ai was truly angry.

She felt that Qin Yiyan was being too reckless and did not know how to cherish his own body!

Qin Yiyan naturally noticed that Liu Xin'ai was angry.

To prevent the anger from continuing to spread, he decided to divert Liu Xin'ai's attention.

As for how to divert it...

Qin Yiyan opened his mouth and said aggrievedly: "You can't accompany me, that's why I felt frustrated. Qing Ze knew that a bad mood is not conducive to wound recovery, which is why he took me out to clear my head."

Liu Qingze had originally been waiting for a chance to slip away on the side.

He hadn't expected that before he could find an opportunity, that shameless guy Qin Yiyan would actually shift the fire onto him!!

Liu Qingze widened his eyes, cursing inwardly.

And Liu Xin'ai also shifted her attention to Liu Qingze and asked: "And you, why aren't you at work, and instead following Qin Yiyan in this nonsense!?"

"I, I also saw that he was pitiful."

Saw that he was pitiful?

Is this something Liu Qingze would say?

He had strong opinions about Qin Yiyan; it was impossible for him to soften his heart just because Qin Yiyan looked pitiful!

It felt...

Like these two people were hiding something from her!

Liu Xin'ai's gaze became increasingly sharp.

Under that kind of stare, Liu Qingze felt uncomfortable everywhere!

In order to escape, he even took the initiative to support Qin Yiyan's arm and asked eagerly: "Are you tired? I'll take you back to your room!"

The cold wind whistled, and the snow fell even more heavily, burying the traces of the carriage in the blink of an eye.
