"And those over there are the heirs of the Song, Liu, and Xu families..."

"These heirs are relatively normal; they are ambitious and have outstanding personal abilities. If nothing unexpected happens, our two families will have cooperative dealings with them in the future..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan finally focused his attention.

Seeing Qin Wan suddenly pause and not continue, Jiang Yan looked at her with surprise.

The moment our eyes met...

What should I do? He seems to find me annoying.

Or should I skip the introduction?

Want to be a quiet, beautiful woman?

But what if I want to talk to him?

Ugh... I'm so conflicted...

Her inner monologue was captivating, yet on the surface, she maintained her familiar gentle and poised smile.

"..." Jiang Yan pursed his thin lips and remained silent for a moment before taking the initiative to ask.

"Do these individuals have any special hobbies?"

"For example... how should I cater to their preferences when doing business with them in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's eyes lit up noticeably.

He asked me!

He asked me himself!

So happy!

Thinking of this, Qin Wan subconsciously straightened up. "Miss Song is obsessed with her career and likes to make money. As long as the profit is enough, things are simple and worry-free when cooperating with her. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Young Master Liu likes to drink. If you want to discuss cooperation with him, the best way is to invite him for drinks. As long as you can make him happy, it won't be difficult to secure the cooperation."

"As for that young lady from the Xu family... she's bisexual, and cooperating with her depends entirely on her mood, whether she wants to play with handsome men or beautiful women on a particular day."

"As long as you cater to her preferences, Miss Xu is quite agreeable."

Qin Wan described the characteristics of these people in a clear and organized manner, but after she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Jiang Yan with a serious expression.

"Actually... their personality traits don't really have much to do with you."

“Even in Kyoto, the Jiang family holds a prominent position, and others are always begging to cooperate with them.”

"Even the Song family, the Liu family, and the Xu family were the ones who approached you and begged you to cooperate with them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan stared directly into Qin Wan's eyes and asked, "Then why did you just give me a science lesson?"

Of course it's because I want to talk to you.

“…Even with business partners, it’s useful to get to know them properly, isn’t it?” Qin Wan explained.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and gave her a meaningful look. "Indeed, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle."

"Getting to know them properly can also prevent their weaknesses from being exploited by malicious people."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan looked at Jiang Yan with a hint of admiration. "They all say that Brother Jiang Yan grew up in the countryside and would definitely not be able to adapt to life in the capital, but I don't think so."

"Brother Jiang Yan is very intelligent, he understands things very quickly, and his comprehension is extremely strong."

Their eyes met...

He truly deserves to be the man I've set my sights on; he's simply outstanding.

Hmm, I'm liking it more and more.

He was inwardly passionate, but outwardly remained calm and composed.

Compared to ordinary people, her contrast is truly remarkable.

Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 20.

I've seen beings who appear gentle and kind on the surface, but are actually wicked and malicious at heart.

Faced with Qin Wan's rare contrast, Jiang Yan didn't find it annoying; in fact, he found it quite interesting and amusing.

She... is quite cute.

Huh?

That dessert looks delicious.

I'm hungry...

Is it inappropriate for me to leave now?

Although she was clearly distracted, she tried her best to maintain a gentle and proper demeanor so that Jiang Yan wouldn't notice, and she also tried her best not to avoid looking into Jiang Yan's eyes.

But her eyes would inevitably dart away for a moment, then quickly return when he wasn't looking...

Noticing her subtle movement, Jiang Yan pressed his fist to his lips, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

"I'm a little hungry, would you like to go get something to eat together?" Jiang Yan said considerately.

"Of course, no problem."

"Let me take you there, and I'll also introduce you to some delicious food in Kyoto."

As she spoke, Qin Wan's eyes visibly brightened, and as she walked toward the food section, her pace quickened considerably.

"Would you like to try this one?"

"It must be a new dessert; I've never seen it before."

"Any dessert that appears at the Jiang family's banquet is bound to be delicious."

Looking at the dessert being handed to him, Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment.

He doesn't like sweets...

Jiang Yan looked up at Qin Wan, and just as he was thinking about how to refuse, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.

Why haven't you answered yet?

Does it mean you don't like it?

Or is it simply that you don't want to accept my kindness?

I really want to eat it...

As she pondered, Qin Wan's burning gaze involuntarily drifted down to the pastry on the plate.

Jiang Yan: "..." Never mind, he'd better not make things difficult for her.

Thinking it over, Jiang Yan took the pastry and smiled gently at Qin Wan, "Thank you."

"You should try some too."

"Okay." After responding, Qin Wan's smile seemed to become even brighter.

After picking up a piece of dessert, she glanced at Jiang Yan, gave him a gentle smile, and then immediately put it in her mouth.

Even without eye contact and without hearing her inner thoughts, Jiang Yan could tell from the expression on her face that she was in a very pleasant mood.

Is it really that delicious?

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, looking curiously at the dessert in his hand.

Perhaps influenced by Qin Wan, after a brief hesitation of a few seconds, he actually put it to his lips and took a small bite.

It has a slightly sweet taste...

It has a moderate sweetness, is not cloying, and has a very refreshing aroma.

It does indeed make people feel happy without them even realizing it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan raised his eyes and looked at Qin Wan...

Their eyes met unexpectedly...

So handsome!

Even when he's eating, he looks so handsome!

Those lips are so sexy, so thin and alluring...

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Yan was startled by Qin Wan's sudden tangent in her thoughts, and before she knew it, she choked on the dessert in her mouth.

He started coughing uncontrollably and quickly put down the dessert in his hand. Just as he was about to get some water, a fair and slender hand beat him to it.

Looking at the water being offered to him, Jiang Yan looked up at Qin Wan in surprise...

"Quickly drink some water to moisten your throat."

"Thank you." The moment Jiang Yan accepted it, that familiar voice echoed in his mind once again.

I touched his hand!

So fair, so warm, so slender.

It feels so good...

I want to touch it again...

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but cough several more times.

He quickly looked away, not daring to look into Qin Wan's eyes again, afraid that he might accidentally hear some inappropriate words.

Are you feeling better?

Seeing that Jiang Yan's coughing gradually stopped after drinking water, Qin Wan's concerned face reappeared in his eyes.

Jiang Yan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he forced a smile.

"It's alright now."

"I wasn't paying attention and accidentally choked."

"It's good that you're alright." As she spoke, Qin Wan seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Jiang Yan with a hint of hesitation.

"You...do you rarely eat desserts? Is it because you don't like them or aren't used to them?"

"I did eat relatively little."

“No wonder…” Upon hearing this, Qin Wan’s face showed a faint look of guilt.

"It's all my fault. I had to make you try it out of the blue, otherwise you wouldn't have choked."

"It's alright." Jiang Yan smiled gently, reassuring Qin Wan not to blame herself.
