Chapter 1416: No Longer Wavering

~7 min read 1,375 words

However, Wang Yaran's heart... was extremely uneasy.

And when Wang Yaran saw Qin Chao, this uneasiness reached its peak!

Qin Chao and Wang Yaran met in a corner of the underground parking garage.

He was originally standing with his back to Wang Yaran.

As Wang Yaran timidly walked behind him, he suddenly turned around and slapped her!

Slap—

This slap was not held back at all, making Wang Yaran see stars!

Qin Chao, however, had no intention of showing any tenderness, grabbing Wang Yaran by the collar and angrily rebuking, "You really are ambitious, actually going behind my back to secretly seek cooperation with Yiyan! What, are you planning to betray me!"

Wang Yaran held her head high, her breathing somewhat difficult.

But she could not care about the humiliation and pain, and hurriedly explained, "It's not like that, listen to me explain!"

"Fine, I want to see what kind of things you can come up with to defend yourself!"

Saying this, Qin Chao suddenly released Wang Yaran.

Wang Yaran's body staggered, and only because she grabbed the car door did she not fall.

After standing steady, Wang Yaran immediately expressed her loyalty to Qin Chao: "Qin Yiyan's guard against me is too high; I keep throwing myself at him, but he won't even look at me! I was also thinking of the big picture, which is why I feigned cooperation with him!"

"For the big picture?"

"Yes, during the cooperation, we will certainly have more opportunities for contact, and I will then take the opportunity to slowly walk into his heart!"

When Wang Yaran spoke, her gaze was sincere, and her small face still wore an expression of enduring humiliation for the sake of the greater good.

But Qin Chao's expression remained icy cold.

He squinted at Wang Yaran and asked, "Then has your contact with him increased?"

"Naturally, it has!"

"Then how many times have you met with Qin Yiyan, where did you meet, and what did you talk about?"

"It's just..."

Wang Yaran was preparing to make up some lies to deal with Qin Chao.

Who knew that Qin Chao would suddenly reach out and grab the back of Wang Yaran's neck, controlling her.

Then, with a sinister tone, he issued a warning: "I'm afraid the one discussing specific cooperation with you is just Yiyan's assistant! All this talk of more opportunities to meet is just an excuse! Also, don't think I don't know what you're thinking; you just feel that being between us father and son, you can advance to attack and retreat to defend! But I tell you, there is no such good thing in this world! Once you choose a side, it is impossible to waver!"

As Qin Chao spoke, he kept tightening his grip.

Wang Yaran was in great pain from being grabbed, but she dared not make a sound.

Only after Qin Chao's voice fell did she say mournfully, "Please truly believe me, my starting point is good!"

"I don't want to hear your flowery words anymore! Once Yiyan's health improves, I will arrange for the two of you to go straight to a hotel room!"

At this moment, Qin Chao felt that cultivating feelings was a waste of effort!

It was more straightforward to get straight to the point!

And as for Wang Yaran...

Qin Chao looked Wang Yaran up and down and coldly arranged, "Someone will contact you later to tell you how to regulate your body recently. You must act according to the requirements; if you dare to be perfunctory, I will never let you off!"

Wang Yaran felt the blood rushing through her body.

Her self-esteem was also ruthlessly torn apart by Qin Chao and trampled under his feet!

But she dared not express her anger, and did not even dare to reveal a look of dissatisfaction.

All Wang Yaran could do was clench her fists tightly, endure the pain, and say, "I will be obedient."

"Hmph, you're still sensible!"

Qin Chao released Wang Yaran and said to her with a look of condescension: "Don't be too greedy in life; if you want to get everything, in the end, you won't get anything!"

Wang Yaran found it ridiculous.

Because these words should be said to Qin Chao himself!

This man seemed to control the overall situation, but in reality?

The true player behind the scenes was Qin Yiyan!

And judging by Qin Chao's style of doing things, it was only a matter of time before he and his son had a falling out!

Seeing Wang Yaran keeping her head down without responding, Qin Chao coldly questioned, "What are you plotting?"

"I am thinking..."

Wang Yaran slowly raised her eyes and pulled out a random reason: "You are very right, but you know very well what kind of personality Qin Yiyan has; if he is pushed too hard, there is nothing he won't do."

Wang Yaran was "kindly" reminding Qin Chao.

But how could Qin Chao listen to her reminder?

He snorted coldly and warned, "I know what to do; I don't need you to teach me! As for you, if you dare to act in defiance again or have ulterior motives, I will directly strip you of your inheritance qualifications!"

Wang Yaran lowered her eyes in fear and said, "I will definitely listen to your arrangements and will not act on my own!"

"Hmph, I hope you can do what you say, otherwise..."

Qin Chao's words were unfinished; he stared at Wang Yaran, narrowed his eyes, and then turned to get into the car beside him.

After his car left, Wang Yaran leaned weakly against the car door, breathing deeply again and again.

She could feel the murderous intent in Qin Chao's eyes.

If she really provoked him, Wang Yaran's fate would definitely be miserable!

And Qin Yiyan...

He kept saying he would protect her, but as soon as something happened, he was like water from afar that couldn't quench a nearby fire!

Completely unreliable!!

Wang Yaran had finally seen through this pair of father and son.

Their methods are different, yet they are equally arrogant.

But one day, they will pay the price for their arrogance!!

Over here, Wang Yaran's gaze was dim.

On the other side, Qin Yiyan was watching the news with a relaxed expression.

He had already given the word, and the media would widely publicize this collaboration.

At this very moment, he believed his father already knew this "good news."

Next, he just had to sit and wait for Qin Chao to come knocking in a rage.

However...

Until the sky outside turned dark, Qin Yiyan still hadn't received any contact from his father.

Qin Chao is not a very patient person.

Having suffered a setback, he would be even less likely to swallow his anger.

And this silence at the moment...

What is going on?

Could it be that he has come up with a new plan?

Qin Yiyan pursed his lips slightly, calculating in his heart.

Just as he was thinking intently, someone knocked on the door.

Who could it be? Father?

Qin Yiyan raised an eyebrow slightly, then raised his voice and said, "Come in!"

Someone pushed the door open.

But the person who entered was not Qin Chao.

It was the siblings Liu Xin'ai and Liu Qingze.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai, Qin Yiyan smiled gently: "Is it time for dinner?"

Liu Qingze crossed his arms and said unhurriedly: "Forget about dinner; let's calculate the time first. From the moment you arrived at our house, today makes exactly five days. Shouldn't you be leaving?"

Liu Qingze's words took Qin Yiyan by surprise.

He hadn't expected time to pass so quickly.

It felt like in the blink of an eye, five days had hurried by.

But...

He didn't want to leave!

Qin Yiyan looked at Liu Xin'ai, hoping very much that Liu Xin'ai would ask him to stay.

But Liu Xin'ai did not speak, nor did she meet his gaze; she simply lowered her eyes and handed the medicine packet to Qin Yiyan.

"This is..."

"Some prepared traditional Chinese medicine. Take it back and continue drinking it; I have written down the instructions for you."

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
