"No, you just escaped the tiger's mouth, and your little brain has already started to wander off, huh?"

Qin Chuan affectionately flicked Su Qian's forehead.

Su Qian playfully stuck out her tongue at him, "I'm just curious, if she's really your sister, wouldn't I need to get along with her well?"

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was suddenly caught in an awkwardly amused state.

This girl, Su Qian, really dares to think and say anything.

"It's not what you think. Between Secretary Li and me, it's just a deal..."

Qin Chuan briefly explained the backstory between him and Li Qinyi.

After listening, Su Qian's small lips curled up into a meaningful arc.

"Brother Chuan, Secretary Li is not bad looking, she's quite cute. The key is, her chest is really big."

As she spoke, Su Qian even used her two small hands to gesture in front of her chest.

Though hers weren't small either, she had enough self-awareness to know she didn't compare to Li Qinyi.

Not even in the same league.

Li Qinyi's must be at least an E-cup, possibly even an F-cup.

Truly a natural gift.

"If I had a figure like hers, I wouldn't be afraid to give you ten kids, Brother Chuan." Su Qian teased.

Qin Chuan shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't say these things outside."

Su Qian nodded, then mischievously said, "Brother Chuan, are you really not considering taking her in? She seems quite interested in you too. She likes you."

"Nonsense." Qin Chuan said with a straight face.

"I'm not talking nonsense, just look at her. She's still looking at us now." Su Qian said, indicating for Qin Chuan to look towards the back of the car.

Qin Chuan turned to look and indeed found Li Qinyi still standing there, absentmindedly watching him leave.

"The way she looks at you is just like how I used to look at you - full of curiosity, unable to resist wanting to know more about you," Su Qian analyzed from her experience.

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes at her, "Alright, alright, stop guessing. I'll take you home first."

Hearing this, Su Qian's pretty face suddenly turned red, and her eyes gradually became tender as she looked at Qin Chuan.

On the other side, Li Qinyi stood in place until the car Qin Chuan was in disappeared at the end of her sight. Only then did she realize she needed to return and report to Jiang Banxia.

"Why am I standing here?"

Li Qinyi was slightly stunned and subconsciously reached to touch her own face.

She found her face was burning hot, as if it had been scorched by fire.

Her reaction surprised her, and she quickly shook her head before driving back to Jiang Banxia's villa.

"Is everything settled?" Jiang Banxia said indifferently.

Li Qinyi hesitated for a moment, then nervously replied, "There were some complications."

Jiang Banxia didn't even lift her head, her voice calm, "Did Qin Chuan take care of the Silver Fox Commerce Association people?"

"President Jiang, you, you already knew?"

Li Qinyi was startled, feeling a sense of relief from narrowly escaping disaster.

Fortunately, she had listened to Qin Chuan. Otherwise, if she had pretended her people helped Qin Chuan deal with those from the Silver Fox Commerce Association, it might have turned into a major disaster.

Jiang Banxia did not answer her question but instead asked, "How did you handle the aftermath?"

Li Qinyi gathered her thoughts and honestly replied, "Qin Chuan disabled the Sun family's son and also struck the Silver Fox Commerce Association's Wen Lan. I had no choice but to reveal my identity to help Qin Chuan out of the situation."

Jiang Banxia nodded, a satisfied expression on her face, "Well done. This favor should be enough for you to get close to Qin Chuan."

Upon hearing this, Li Qinyi fell silent, filled with complex emotions.

Though she now understood Qin Chuan's character and did not reject him,

the thought of Jiang Banxia wanting to sacrifice her to Qin Chuan left Li Qinyi feeling uncomfortable.

It was a sense of becoming a tool, with sadness and helplessness.

"Prepare yourself well, find a chance to ask Qin Chuan out, and get it done, to avoid unnecessary complications,"

Jiang Banxia said expressionlessly, then stood up, carrying the unfinished comic book as she walked to her room on the second floor.

At this point, Li Qinyi felt completely enveloped by a strong sense of powerlessness.

She had thought about resisting, about fighting back.

But whenever she thought about her parents and her younger siblings, she could only bury the thought deep within her heart.

She knew that if she explained the situation to her parents, they would rather forgo their current success than sacrifice her happiness.

But, she couldn't do it.

She couldn't just watch her family be marginalized step by step until they were completely consumed.

The battles within the Jiang family were cruel, and the forces relying on them were equally ruthless.

If it wasn't for her close relationship with Jiang Banxia since childhood, her family might have already perished in the struggle.

"Qinyi, don't blame the young lady."

At this time, Granny Qiu emerged from nowhere and handed a letter to Li Qinyi.

"Granny Qiu, what is this?" Li Qinyi was slightly stunned.

"Open it and see." Granny Qiu said flatly.

Li Qinyi opened the envelope and found several photos of young men inside.

These young men looked decent, but compared to Qin Chuan, they seemed somewhat effeminate, lacking his masculine vibe.

Inexplicably, as she looked at these photos, Li Qinyi involuntarily started comparing them with Qin Chuan.

The conclusion was naturally that Qin Chuan was more handsome and had more masculinity.

"Who are these people?" Li Qinyi asked again.

Granny Qiu glanced at the second floor and then explained, "These are the suitors the Jiang family selected for you. This one is the second young master of the Liu family, this one is an illegitimate child from the Li family..."

"What, what's the meaning of this? The Jiang family wants to arrange a marriage for me?" Li Qinyi widened her eyes and instantly grasped the crux of the matter.

Without hiding anything, Granny Qiu nodded, "Half a month ago, the young lady received the news, which is why she thought of arranging for you to be with Qin Chuan."

"How could this be..."

Li Qinyi was dumbfounded, unable to accept it for a long time.

"Compared to those the Jiang family arranged for you, both the young lady and I believe Qin Chuan is the better choice," Granny Qiu continued.

Upon hearing this, tears glistened in Li Qinyi's eyes.

Though she hadn't met the men in the photos, she had occasionally heard about their names.

Of course, whenever their names came up, it was never for anything good.

The Jiang family's candidates for her were all notorious rakes within their circle.

For example, the second young master of the Liu family had recently played to death with a girl in his room.

And the illegitimate child of the Li family had long been diagnosed with AIDS.

In a nutshell, none of the so-called suitors arranged by the Jiang family were normal.

In contrast, aside from the many women around him, Qin Chuan had no faults.

Moreover, Qin Chuan was a man of deep emotions and loyalty, willing to face hell or high water to protect the women around him.

Thinking about it, Qin Chuan's image became more vivid and concrete in her mind.

If she had to choose among Qin Chuan and these people, she would choose Qin Chuan without hesitation.

"Thank you, Granny Qiu, I know what to do now,"

Li Qinyi silently took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Chuan, "Tomorrow's Saturday, are you free? I'd like to treat you to a meal."

"Brother Chuan, uh, your phone's ringing."

In Su Qian's apartment, Su Qian handed Qin Chuan's phone from under the covers and then continued to hide within the blankets.

Qin Chuan, with a contented smile, quietly watched the quilt rise and fall over his lower body...
