Chapter 823: Qin Chuan’s Feelings (2)
Previously, he was willing to accept all of this. However now, she was telling him that everything started off with just a dream of hers.
Such a reason was difficult for him to accept.
And thus, Qin Chuan said to Jian Yiling: “I promise you that I will not ever hurt the Jian family. I can swear on this. I can swear on my life regarding this matter.”
Then, Qin Chuan said: “However, regarding saving my father, please set another condition. I want you to ask for something else.”
Jian Yiling was rather confused. She looked at Qin Chuan as she struggled to understand what he meant by those words.
When he saw the confused expression on Jian Yiling’s face, Qin Chuan explained with a bitter smile: “Yiling, I want you to know that I won’t harm the Jian family. You shouldn’t be asking that as a condition. It’s just something that I simply would not do.”
Jian Yiling paused for a long time before she spoke again: “But, I don’t have any other conditions.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan offered: “The equity of the Qin Group. I can sign an agreement with you. If I inherit the Qin Group’s equity, I will transfer half of it to you.”
“Why?”
That was essentially giving away half of the Qin Group!
“So that you can stop worrying that I’d harm the Jian family.”
“I’m sorry,” Jian Yiling apologized.
After all, those things had been done by Qin Chuan in the original novel. It was unfair of her to think of the current Qin Chuan in the same way.
“I don’t need your apology” Qin Chuan replied. “I just want you to not look at me with those kinds of thoughts in your mind. It’s not fair to me.”
Once again, Jian Yiling paused. She was a little unsure of how to handle the matter in front of her.
When it came to personal matters, she couldn’t think very clearly.
When Qin Chuan looked at the confused expression on Jian Yiling’s face, he asked her another question: “Do you like Zhai Yunsheng? In a romantic way?”
“I…” Jian Yiling started. She did not know.
She did not know what her feelings towards Zhai Yunsheng were.
She knew that she wanted to protect him. In addition, she knew that she liked being with him.
However, was that liking him romantically? She did not know how to answer that question.
Qin Chuan got his answer from observing Jian Yiling’s reaction.
“Yiling, can you stop looking at me with those eyes in the future? It’s unfair for me. I want you to think of me as an ordinary male. A male that’s known you for many years. I’ve never hurt you and I will never hurt you in the future.”
Qin Chuan’s words had a deeper meaning to them. However, this was something that Jian Yiling could not understand.
She assumed that Qin Chuan did not want her to treat him with prejudice and preconceived ideas.
Jian Yiling was a little hesitant. It was very difficult for her to not look at Qin Chuan with preconceived ideas and prejudice.
“I will try my best,” Jian Yiling responded.
“Okay, I will go and ask my secretary and lawyer to draw up a contract.”
Qin Chuan’s words were not just words. He really intended to give Jian Yiling half the equity of the Qin Group as payment for her treatment of his father.
It was impossible for Qin Hongzhi to hand over his equity directly. However, after Qin Hongzhi gave his equity to Qin Chuan, he would no longer be able to interfere with what happened afterward.
“You don’t need to do this.”
“It doesn’t matter. You can keep the contract. If you help my father get better, then in the short term, the equity wouldn’t fall into my hands anyway. You can just keep the contract as a guarantee. Wait until the day you can fully trust me. On that day, we can cancel the contract.”
Qin Chuan did not give Jian Yiling another chance to object.
Instead, he got up and left the cafe.
He knew that Jian Yiling would be sent home by people from the Zhai family. After all, it was not his place to do something like that.
