A whirlwind marriage: The real heiress marries a warlord.

Cheng Tianxun went to the office to pick up Qin Yan after work.

He briefly explained the situation.

"Big brother is treating? What does he want to say?" Qin Yan asked.

"Stop guessing, you'll know when you get there," Cheng Tianxun said.

Then he asked Xiang Linzi, "Wasn't she supposed to be here for work? Where is she?"

"We're hiring for our morning publication; she's in the office next door," Qin Yan said.

Cheng Tianxun: "Then I won't go see her. She's just a junior editor; if she sees me, she won't know how to behave."

Qin Yan: "..."

He didn't care about his cousin at all; he just wanted to take the opportunity to show off and get revenge on Xiang Linzi for always pointing out his shortcomings.

It was still early, so Qin Yan tidied up the things on the table and locked the important documents in the drawer.

Cheng Tianxun raised his hand, glanced at his wristwatch—the one Qin Yan had given him—and said, "It's only three o'clock, there's still a long time before I finish work. You go ahead and do your work, I'll go for a walk."

Qin Yan: "I lent my little mansion to Aunt Luo. You seem to mind, so I haven't visited her."

It's very impolite to lend out the house and then avoid seeing the occupants. Since you're here, let's go take a look together.

Cheng Tianxun: "..."

On his first visit, Qin Yan bought a net bag full of canned goods, as well as some fruit and candy.

Luo Tang was on the phone in the living room; her husband and Luo Qisheng were having tea in the small living room on the first floor.

The maid said there were guests, and several people came out to greet them.

Luo Tang had a bright smile, and her two deep dimples were particularly beautiful, making her look younger and more energetic.

"Qin Yan, Young Marshal Cheng." She stepped down from the steps and took the gift from Qin Yan's hand. "I was just about to call and invite you to dinner. Thank you both for lending me your house to stay in."

She added with a smile, "My second wife is very kind; she's been inviting me to visit these past few days. I'm planning to invite her over too. I was just wondering if you two could come, since you're the hosts."

Like the scorching summer sun, it was intensely hot and warm, pouring down on you.

Cheng Tianxun was used to Qin Yan's coldness, and when he suddenly encountered such a talkative and enthusiastic person, he frowned slightly.

Luo Tang was even noisier than Xiang Linzi.

But she was Qin Yan's friend, and even though she was also Luo Qisheng's aunt, Cheng Tianxun still managed to suppress his discomfort.

He looked at Qin Yan.

Despite Luo Tang's fiery enthusiasm, Qin Yan remained icy, the scorching sun unable to melt the frost on her body.

"Now that I've lent it to you, you're the host. You can decide how to treat everyone. I've received a great favor from the Luo family, so lending them this house is nothing. Third Aunt, you don't need to be so polite," Qin Yan said.

Cheng Tianxun seemed to have just remembered this.

The Luo family saved Qin Yan.

This matter has nothing to do with Luo Qisheng.

The house was only borrowed because of the relationship between Qin Yan and the Luo family, not because of Luo Qisheng's influence.

He felt a little better.

"My wife is right. Since we've borrowed it, it's yours. Stay a few more days," Cheng Tianxun said.

Fearing that being too generous might embolden some people, she decided to tighten her grip beforehand, saying, "Qin Yan's newspaper office is very busy, and she can't fully entertain you. Just tell me what you need, and I'll have my adjutant take care of it."

Several people were surprised.

Even Qin Yan turned his head to glance at him.

Cheng Tianxun immediately realized that what he said was a lie. Who would want to waste their life arguing with him for no reason?

But what's said is said.

This area of ​​Nancheng belongs to him; he can say whatever nonsense he wants.

Even if others don't want to listen, they have to.

"...Alright, thank you, Young Marshal Cheng. Please come in." Luo Tang said with a smile.

He then instructed the maid to serve tea and refreshments.

Not long after sitting down and taking a couple of sips of tea, Qin Yan prepared to leave.

"We have some things to attend to, so we'll bother you again next time. If there are any problems with the house, just send someone to make the changes," Qin Yan said.

He added, "Buying this house was a misunderstanding; I never intended to buy it. Later, I got too busy and didn't have time to sell it. I won't live here. You just focus on repairing it; your comfort is the most important thing. Don't worry about me."

Luo Qisheng's gaze fell on her face.

Qin Yan looked away from him, her eyelashes lowered, and a flash of sadness crossed her eyes.

She was always very open and generous, but she would show something different when she was with Luo Qisheng—Cheng Tianxun felt a lump in his throat when he thought of this.

He recalled Qin Yan's words from back then: "My relationship with him isn't innocent..."

Cheng Tianxun's face darkened.

Luo Tang's smile remained radiant as she accepted Qin Yan's offer: "I'm planning to replace the windows in the living and dining room. The current window is a bit dark."

Qin Yan said, "Okay."

"I'll write down a list of what I changed later for you to review. You can go ahead and do what you need to do; I won't keep you any longer," Luo Tang said with a smile.

Qin Yan and Cheng Tianxun then left.

As soon as the two of them left, Second Master Qin said, "This young marshal doesn't seem easy to get along with; he has an even stronger presence than the warlord."

Luo Qisheng snorted coldly.

Master Qin added, "Don't be angry."

"That's all in the past. Since you don't plan to get engaged to her, it's perfectly understandable that she'd marry someone else," Luo Tang said with a smile.

Second Master Qin: "They're quite a good match. They seem to have a good relationship."

Luo Qisheng turned and left.

Luo Tang smiled and said to her husband, "You broke Qi Sheng's heart."

"He should give up now. The young couple is very much in love. Why break up their marriage?" said Master Qin.

Luo Tang: "Regardless of whether they are in love or not, Qin Yan will never go back to Qi Sheng. As long as she sees Qi Sheng, she will never forget my sister-in-law's death. This is a form of torture for her."

Second Master Qin knew about her inner turmoil.

He hugged her: "I know you're sad too. But it's good that you've come to terms with it, that you're letting your wounds heal and moving forward."

We'll stay a few more days this time. Once we get back, we'll move to London, and we probably won't have another chance to return to our hometown.

Luo Tang laughed and asked, "How many more children do you want?"

"I hate children," said Master Qin. "We'll raise a dog, two horses, two cats; we'll also dig a pond to raise koi, and a golden monkey. We'll also raise some birds."

Luo Tang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Shall we go and start a farm?"

She was so happy.

Qin Erye felt as if he had returned to his honeymoon days, when Luo Tang was just as happy, and her smile was incredibly infectious.

Back in her homeland, her wounds healed, and she returned to her true nature. The journey had been too arduous; her elder brother had strongly opposed it, fearing for their safety, and Master Qin had also complained about it before.

Now he feels it was all worth it.

Qin Yan and Cheng Tianxun arrived at Cen Yan's private residence, and both of them remained silent.

"...Did you have a fight?" Cen Yan asked.

Qin Yan glanced at Cheng Tianxun, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head: "No, right?"

She then asked him, "Did we have a fight?"

Recently, many people have speculated that the two of them had a fight, including the maid who is very familiar with them at the villa.

Qin Yan felt that she was no different.

Cheng Tianxun doesn't seem to be someone who's always laughing and joking. He's usually serious with a stern face, so why does everyone think he's annoyed?

Qin Yan is very perceptive to changes in people's emotions. Perhaps she's been preoccupied with too many things lately and hasn't had time for Cheng Tianxun, so she's overlooked him for a moment.

"You're so long-winded." Cheng Tianxun didn't answer Qin Yan, but instead said Cen Yan, and stepped into the restaurant first.

Cen Yan's private residence is not usually occupied; only two old servants are kept there to look after the house, and the house is never cooked.

The meal was delivered temporarily from a nearby restaurant.

There are also a few types of wine.

"Baijiu or huangjiu?" Cen Yan asked Cheng Tianxun.

Cheng Tianxun: "I don't like drinking yellow wine."

Cen Yan: "Then let's drink osmanthus wine."

Then he asked Qin Yan, "Sister-in-law, what about you? Would you like to drink osmanthus wine with us, or grape wine?"

"I drink wine," Qin Yan said.

Cen Yan poured them wine.

Cheng Tianxun was unhappy. But it didn't matter; Cen Yan didn't care. He had something to say to Qin Yan.

They ate and chatted, with Cen asking about the newspaper's work and other matters.

"Brother, do you also object to Lin Zi working at the newspaper?" Qin Yan asked.

While the two were talking, Cheng Tianxun had already drunk his third glass of wine. He hadn't eaten anything, and Qin Yan suspected he was getting drunk, occasionally glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.
