The night Chi Yuan and Qi Wang consummated their relationship, Qi Wang, as an illegitimate child, had just been acknowledged by the Qi family.

At that time, the Chi family was at its peak, an...

Now, it seems that their relationship is only missing a marriage certificate.

But given their current relationship, is this marriage certificate still important?

Even if they don't remarry, it won't affect their relationship, right?

Chi Yuan pondered in his heart, raised his eyes and glanced at the man secretly.

After hearing what he said, the other party's face looked unhappy.

A marriage certificate is not only a document, but also a guarantee for both parties.

For Yu Qiwang, the lack of a marriage certificate means that they are not legally married and Chi Yuan can leave at any time.

"Why?"

The man suddenly took a few steps back, his face turning pale. "Are you really that unwilling to be my husband and wife?"

"I'm not!"

Chi Yuan immediately denied it: "I just don't want to rush into remarriage, at least not right now."

But no matter how I explain it, it sounds like quibbling.

No matter how many reasons there are, it all sounds far-fetched.

Qi Wang pursed his lips slightly, his eyes gradually becoming deeper and deeper, gradually becoming a look that Chi Yuan could not understand.

He remained silent, and neither did she.

I don’t know what Qi Wang was thinking, but Chi Yuan was getting more and more panicked.

She suddenly pulled his hand and wanted to hold it tightly, but the man pulled his hand back.

Although he didn't escape from her hand immediately, Chi Yuan's heart still ached.

"Yeah, I see."

Qi Wang's tone still sounded indifferent, but there was a hint of trembling in it.

He wanted Chi Yuan to stay by his side, but he couldn't make any promises.

If one day, Chi Yuan no longer loves him, will he still want to keep her by his side?

Qi Wang had never thought about this question.

But Chi Yuan had thought about it many times.

It doesn't matter who fell in love with whom first.

If one day Qi Wang no longer loves her, she will leave and never ask about anything related to him again.

"I love you, there's no doubt about that."

Chi Yuan suddenly cupped the man's cheek, resting her forehead against his. "But as for remarriage, give me some time. I promise I won't leave you, as long as you still only love me, as long as you are still willing to let me stay by your side."

As soon as these words came out, the gloom on the man's face instantly dissipated a lot. "I love you." He said in a deep voice.

Chi Yuan kissed the corner of his lips lightly: "I know."

"I love you much."

This repetition made her heart ache.

But does she really understand Qi Wang’s intentions?

She had doubted his feelings for her more than once, whether it was because of his misleading behavior or the lies he deliberately told her.

Chi Yuan would be disturbed by what he said and did, and Qi Wang... would also be affected by her emotions.

They are all the same people.

Qi Wang took her to look at the villa he had chosen.

"You bought a manor, didn't you?"

Looking at the layout of the manor, Chi Yuan fell into deep thought.

There is some distance between the gate of the manor and the villa. There is a lot of open space in the manor, which is suitable for planting or being converted into a racecourse.

"It's a new estate, and it hasn't been sold before. I want to plan it out. In addition to the garden and leisure area, I want to plant grapes and place winemaking facilities."

It is for sale for the first time, and considering the location, the price is probably not low.

Of course, Qi Wang is not short of money now.

“It does look good.”

Chi Yuan leaned in the man's arms and watched him flip through the manor brochure: "Will anyone bid for this house with you?"

There is never a shortage of buyers for good places, and if you want to grab one quickly, the price will only be higher than it is now.

"Yes."

Qi Wang took out his phone and opened the chat history with the developer. "If we only look at the residential purchase, there are at least ten parties interested in buying it. But I've talked to the developer, and he said that if I can buy it together with another piece of land, the manor can be given to me directly."

Buy one get one free, sounds like a good deal.

But Chi Yuan became alert instantly.

"How about the other piece of land? If it's good, someone will probably be eager to buy it."

She guessed that the land was not very good.

Qi Wang's explanation confirmed her suspicions: "You're right, the location of the land isn't very good, but I think it would be a good place to set up a factory or laboratory. What do you think?"

When mentioning the laboratory, Chi Yuan raised the corners of his lips.

"You know very well that I have the idea of ​​setting up a laboratory."

He did it on purpose!

"Then let's go take a look together. Anyway, there's still half a month before the manor transaction. Let's go take a look at the land together then. If there's no problem, I'll book it right away."

Half a month later... her admission results had already come out, which was just convenient for her to make plans.

The date Jin Yuwen agreed to meet was at noon the next day.

Chi Yuan just dressed himself appropriately and went to the appointment.

As for Shen Ling, she only wanted to have a general understanding and didn't want to go into detail.

She didn't want to chat with Jin Yuwen for too long during this meeting.

When Chi Yuan arrived at the booked private room, Jin Yuwen had already arrived.

He looked well-dressed today. Compared to the last time they met, Jin Yuwen now looked more like a gentle university professor.

"Professor Jin, let's make this short. My husband and I have things to do this afternoon."

She put her bag on the sofa and then sat down. Classic Western food was already on the table.

Jin Yuwen paused. "You're being so direct. It seems like I have ulterior motives."

Isn’t it?

Chi Yuan muttered to himself, supporting his chin with his right hand: "I didn't say that, or are you hiding something, Professor Jin?"

“Talking to you about Shen Ling’s gossip should… count, right?”

Keeping it a secret again.

Chi Yuan went straight to the point: "You can say it directly. What happened to Shen Ling? I see that she is over 50 years old. She has achieved certain achievements in both teaching and research. Why did Anna say that she is dangerous?"

Jin Yuwen lowered his voice. "She's secretly selling intelligence. Her technology has broken through the firewalls of many countries, stealing countless secrets. She holds so much information that no one dares to touch her. But if you get in touch with her, you'll be implicated."

Huh? Why does it feel different from what Anna said?

Chi Yuan didn't respond, so Jin Yuwen continued to explain, "Of course, that's not her most terrifying aspect. You know, one of Brexton University's strengths is artificial intelligence technology, which inevitably involves medicine. For some data and samples, computer technology alone isn't enough. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Chi Yuan had some guesses in his mind, but he asked back: "But this is just your one-sided statement."

Anna said she was an old witch... If it has something to do with medicine, could it be that she was doing some immoral scientific experiments?

"You may not believe it, but don't blame me for not warning you. Once you become her student, you won't have a peaceful life for at least the next two years until you graduate."

Jin Yuwen spoke very convincingly, which made Chi Yuan even more curious.
