Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Cheng Xihe returned to the Qin family.

She sat at the dining table eating, waiting for Qin Jian to come down.

A short while later, Qin Jian, yawning, walked into the restaurant. "What are you doing here?"

He was startled when he saw Cheng Xihe.

Cheng Xihe glanced at him: "I hope you can keep your word."

"What did you say?"

Qin Jian pretended to be stupid and looked at Cheng Xihe blankly.

Cheng Xihe, who had changed into casual clothes, stood up and raised his fist: "If you can't understand human language, I know a little bit about martial arts."

"Just kidding, sit down first."

Qin Jian immediately backed down and waved his hand.

He's in a good mood today because his daughter sold something yesterday.

Cheng Xihe's expression was serious: "I'm not joking with you. You'd better hurry up and return all of my mother's belongings."

"Cheng Xihe, this is home. Don't keep talking about her remains. You are my daughter. We can't..." Qin Jian tried to use moral blackmail.

Cheng Xihe scoffed lightly, "No, there's no family affection."

If I weren't your daughter, I would have beaten you to death long ago for threatening me like that.

"Xihe..."

"Stop talking nonsense and just say whether you'll give it to me or not." Cheng Xihe was too lazy to listen to his sweet talk and went straight to the point.

Qin Jian felt that if he gave away his things, Cheng Xihe would probably break off all relations immediately.

He hasn't gotten what he wants yet.

"I can give it to you, but you at least need to get engaged to Yan Mingchuan first, otherwise how can the relationship be stable?"

Qin Jian looked at Cheng Xihe: "You need to demonstrate some value, otherwise what will happen to my accounts?"

"You really are shameless."

Cheng Xihe glanced at him: "So, you're saying you're unwilling to return my mother's belongings to me?"

"That will have to wait until I sign the contract. Just wait a little longer, and I'll have a good project coming my way soon."

Qin Jian's face lit up with excitement.

The Yan family is truly generous.

Even a small contract can be worth hundreds of millions; once he secures it, he can settle that messy overseas debt.

"You're not keeping your word, are you, Qin Jian?" Cheng Xihe no longer gave him any kind look, staring at him coldly.

Qin Jian was quite shameless: "How can you say I didn't keep my word? I promised, as long as you get engaged, I'll get the contract."

"That's not what was said before."

Cheng Xihe couldn't bear it any longer and went straight over.

"Hey, don't hit my face, there's a very important meeting today." Qin Jian subconsciously covered his face.

After all, Cheng Xihe wasn't faking it; he was really fighting!

He tried many methods to cover it up yesterday, including using foundation, but he could barely manage to conceal the bruises on his face.

I can't hold on any longer today.

Cheng Xihe ignored him and punched his fleshy arm anyway: "You better keep your word, or I'll burn down your entire Qin family and see what happens."

The ruthlessness in her eyes was genuine; a single glance from her was enough to send chills down your spine.

Swallowing hard, Qin Jian said, "Okay."

"Damn it!" Cheng Xihe was still annoyed by the sight and hit Qin Jian several more times.

Qin Jian covered his head, so the blow missed his face and landed elsewhere.

Qin Yebai had originally planned to go downstairs early in the morning to find something to eat.

But then they heard noises coming from the restaurant.

He thought it was his parents who were just passing by and stopped by.

Then we saw the Great Demon King beating up his father.

"Oh, how terrifying!" Qin Yebai took several steps back, the fear in his eyes genuine.

Butler Ye appeared silently behind him: "Young Master, what are you doing?"

"Shh!" Qin Yebai nervously stuck out his index finger: "Keep your voice down, don't let the Great Demon King hear you."

Butler Ye looked at him with amusement: "The Great Demon King?"

"You're not allowed to talk nonsense, and you're not allowed to say I was here!" Qin Yebai glared at Butler Ye and ran off like a little puppy.

Watching the child's disheveled figure, the butler smiled helplessly.

Over there, Cheng Xihe stood up after he had had his fill of fighting: "Let's stop here for today, I'm leaving now."

"Where to?" Qin Jian asked.

Cheng Xihe glanced at him. "Yan Mingchuan is picking me up to go out and play. Are you going too?"

"Did President Yan come to pick you up personally?"

Qin Jian looked at Cheng Xihe in disbelief.

Yan Mingchuan has basically not appeared in public for so many years, and yesterday was the first time he officially attended a public event in all these years.

It only appeared for a short while.

Everyone's impression of Yan Mingchuan is vague.

Qin Jian had seen Yan Mingchuan's appearance when he was up there.

I didn't expect President Yan to be so honest.

They actually drove to pick up Cheng Xihe! That's terrifying!

Seeing this, Qin Jian quickly stood up: "I'll go with you to take a look."

"Where are you going? You're in the way and you're interrupting our date." Cheng Xihe glanced at him with disdain.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jian was not angry at all. Instead, she nodded and said, "You're right. I won't go. You should go quickly and don't keep President Yan waiting."

Speechless.

Cheng Xihe rolled her eyes at Qin Jian.

"Hey, wait a minute, what's up with your outfit? Are you going on a date with President Yan dressed like this? That won't do."

Qin Jian grew anxious: "Hurry up and change into something, a dress. Didn't we prepare dresses for you before? You're not wearing any of them."

"They're either too revealing or too short; they don't suit me." Cheng Xihe shrugged.

Qin Jian became even more anxious: "You're just wearing sportswear, how are you going to go on a date? Didn't I give you my card? Aren't you going to buy some dresses?"

"Don't worry, Yan Mingchuan won't mind. Don't worry about it, it's so annoying." Cheng Xihe ignored Qin Jian and left with just her phone.

Qin Jian didn't dare to go over and look, so he could only stand by the door and watch from afar as a two-tone panda-colored Bentley was parked at the entrance.

The car door opened.

The person who got out of the driver's seat was Yan Mingchuan's special assistant, Assistant Su.

Qin Jian could not hear them talking.

After the two exchanged a few words with smiles, Su Jin opened the door for Cheng Xihe and gestured for her to get in the car.

It wasn't until they left that Qin Jian truly came to his senses.

Cheng Xihe was actually chosen by the Yan family!

This is fantastic news!

Bringing her back was definitely the right thing to do.

After getting into the car, Cheng Xihe looked at Yan Mingchuan beside her and said, "Good morning, President Yan."

"I think it would be better if Xihe called me by my name," Yan Mingchuan suggested.

Cheng Xihe frowned.

I don't know why I always feel awkward, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

She glanced at Yan Mingchuan, "Then please extend your hand, Mingchuan, so I can take a look at your body first."

"Um."

Yan Mingchuan extended his hand.

This car is, after all, a luxury vehicle worth tens of millions, so you can hardly feel any bumps while driving, and it was very smooth when Cheng Xihe took his pulse.

After listening to his pulse, Cheng Xihe said, "Your health is indeed gradually improving compared to before, but we can't rush things."

"The Ghost Hand Doctor..."

Su Jin started to speak, then paused: "Sister-in-law, do you think it still needs adjustments?"

"Adjust what? The prescription was just written yesterday, and you need to take it for at least a month." Cheng Xihe glanced at him.

The prescription she gave last time wasn't quite right, so she adjusted it.

You need to take the new recipe for a while to see any noticeable changes.

Yan Mingchuan withdrew his hand: "Okay, have you had breakfast?"

"I didn't eat much."

She was having a good breakfast, but seeing Qin Jian made her lose her appetite, so she didn't eat much.

Yan Mingchuan chuckled: "Today's itinerary is just to have a simple day, so let's have breakfast first."

"Brother Yan, shall we have breakfast? Aunt Qing recommended a few good dim sum restaurants." Su Jin glanced at Yan Mingchuan through the rearview mirror.

Yan Mingchuan nodded: "Okay, let's go to that one."

When they arrived, Cheng Xihe realized that it was the same dim sum restaurant he had visited with Qin Shengxia last time.

"Wow, everything looks so good!" Su Jin ordered a table full of food with satisfaction.

Cheng Xihe picked up a rabbit-shaped coconut osmanthus cake: "This is not bad, you can try it."

"Eat baby rabbits?"

Su Jin picked up a rabbit and put it into her bowl.

Glancing at Yan Mingchuan, who was unable to get up to pick up food, Cheng Xihe casually used serving chopsticks to put a piece of rabbit into his bowl:

"Eat up, so they won't say we're bullying you."

Su Jin had already started eating. Seeing how polite Cheng Xihe was, she looked at her own chopsticks and asked, "Do we still need to use serving chopsticks?"

"If you don't mind, that's fine with me." Cheng Xihe shrugged indifferently.

After finishing their meal, Cheng Xihe went to the mall with the two of them.

"What are you doing here?" Cheng Xihe asked, puzzled.

Yan Mingchuan calmly said, "For an engagement, there should be a ring and a gift."

"You can find anything you want in the gold shops and jewelry stores here, but a ring is a must."

Cheng Xihe asked, puzzled, "They're engaged already?"

"Tonight, my parents will have dinner with your parents, which will be considered an engagement."

You're still young. At most, my parents will just ask me to move out with you. Don't worry, I won't touch you.

Yan Mingchuan spoke calmly, but his hands were nervously clenching his fingers.

Cheng Xihe glanced at him: "It's hard to say who touched whom."

Taking advantage of Yan Mingchuan's distraction, Su Jin distanced herself to minimize her presence.

"Okay, then just pick any ring."

Cheng Xihe pushed Yan Mingchuan to the gold shop.

She spent a long time browsing before choosing a pair of wedding rings: "This one, a simple band is quite pretty, not too flashy."

This plain band is made of pure gold. Yan Mingchuan's ring is a little bigger than hers, and it has some embossed patterns on it.

Cheng Xihe's has no patterns at all.

The sales assistant enthusiastically said, "If you two would like some souvenirs, you can have them engraved on the inner circle."

"Need not."

Cheng Xihe waved his hand and refused.

"Why not a diamond ring? Anything else is fine too." Yan Mingchuan looked up at Cheng Xihe.

Playing with the ring on his hand, Cheng Xihe said, "I just like the color of gold. I'm a bit tacky."

"As long as you like it."

Yan Mingchuan looked at the saleswoman and said, "Pack up all the gold jewelry in the store today."

"what?"

The saleswoman was stunned, unable to believe what she had just heard.

How did such immense wealth fall into my lap...?
