Lu Yin said that he would not let her go.
Qi Nuan thought that he meant that he still needed her value before the Gu family's will was confirmed.
But the look in Lu Yin's eyes just now was as if he had real feelings for her, expressing his loyal belief in marriage.
However, what he had to do was to swallow up the Gu family as a whole, which was not an easy task, and he would face many more dangerous situations.
She was still not sure whether this man was worth her taking such a big risk to stay with him forever.
Damn it!
Qi Nuan was already shaken when she knew that he would think so much.
She stamped her feet, adjusted her expression, and quickly caught up with him.
Lu Yin changed his car at some point last night, and a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked in front of the hotel.
He didn't get in the back seat, but opened the passenger door and sat in.
Qi Nuan got into the driver's seat as requested and became his exclusive driver.
After setting the destination in the navigation, Lu Yin leaned back in the seat that had been lowered a little, closed his eyes and took a rest.
It started snowing again and the road was slippery. Qi Nuan concentrated on driving, trying his best to prevent the person sleeping in the passenger seat from feeling the bumps and sudden stops.
While stopping at the traffic light and waiting, Qi Nuan couldn't help but turn her head to look at the face that was sleeping peacefully.
"ha"
Sighing, she leaned forward on the steering wheel, staring at the snowflakes ahead in thought for a moment.
She was not completely without feelings for Lu Yin. No matter what the basis of these feelings was, she could not deny that she actually cared about him quite a lot.
And Lu Yin, a man with severe mysophobia and difficulty in interacting with the opposite sex, almost never showed his problems and rejection to her.
His special treatment of her also shows that she has an extraordinary meaning to him.
Qi Nuan was very depressed when she had to leave Ruisheng.
Her imperfect academic qualifications and work history full of rumors made her run into obstacles when looking for a new job.
If it weren't for Lu Yin's special care that allowed her to join the company quickly, her self-esteem would probably have been severely tormented and hit while she was waiting for the long interview process at Yu Ran Times.
The family suffered a major tragedy, with relatives passing away one after another and the boyfriend she once trusted betraying her...
Having to enter the society early and take on the responsibility of repaying debts and raising his younger sister, Qi Nuan, who had not yet fully grown up, fully experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature.
She tried hard to prove her worth, pretending to be calm, optimistic, and that nothing could faze her.
But she knew she wasn't.
She wanted to be strong and independent, but she had no one to rely on. After crying secretly, she could only face the difficulties on her own.
Even her younger sister, who had been dependent on her since childhood, probably realized that she, as an older sister, was not actually that great.
That's why she couldn't help her sister deal with the negative news, that's why she couldn't protect her brother's family alone, that's why she had to exchange herself with Lu Yin.
But this is not enough now. Their relationship has always been based on contractual exchange.
Even outsiders like Gu Hui and Lu Heng knew the inequality in their relationship, which was why they always tried to use this to make fun of her.
In order to talk about feelings with Lu Yin calmly, she must at least be able to end the one-sided dependence formed by this contract, and she must be able to stand at a similar level to him.
"If you successfully take over the Gu Corporation, give me more management control, like being the boss of Ruisheng, so I can go back and turn things around, or let me run the entertainment company to provide strong support for my sister. There's really no need to go to the extent of restoring the Qi family."
Muttering to himself, Qi Nuan glanced at the man who seemed to be sleeping soundly, turned his attention back to the road ahead where the light had turned green, and restarted the car.
"Is this your true wish? Will it be satisfied if I give it to you?"
A long time after passing the intersection, Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Qi Nuan was surprised that she had heard it. She took the time to glance at him. Lu Yin still had his eyes closed as if he was resting.
"Well, I told you, I'm not some ambitious guy."
She answered his questions casually while paying attention to the road conditions.
"fraud."
Lu Yin only opened his lips, his eyes remained closed.
"how?"
"How can someone who was given elite education by Uncle Qi when he was just over ten years old not have ambition?"
Qi Nuan didn't expect that Lu Yin would pay attention to her so early.
"That was... my brother wasn't interested in running the business at the time, so I wanted to prepare in advance."
"Ha!" Lu Yin sighed, opened his eyes and turned his head to look over.
"Even though you dropped out of school and weren't a major, you were able to deliver top-notch design projects. Why would you work so hard just to get an ordinary job?"
Qi Nuan didn't respond.
Lu Yin continued, "Because of the envy and frame-up of colleagues with professional backgrounds, you had to hand over the project team you built. Even if you acted as if you were free and easy, you still felt wronged."
"You're going to interview at a company owned by a man you hate, even if you're not brave enough. Isn't it because career setbacks hurt your self-esteem more than anything else?"
"Are you trying to dig up all the old stories and make fun of me?"
Qi Nuan gripped the steering wheel tightly, looked straight ahead, and his expression became serious.
"I know you don't trust men easily, and you have a very serious view on love. From the beginning, I proposed a deal and never thought about talking about love."
He's just a childhood playmate, what does he know about me?
Qi Nuan was a little angry: "Isn't it because you always do things that I can't trust? Also, why is my view on love so heavy?"
