Chapter 51 Chapter 51 We can only sleep in each other’s arms.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
The two people in the room turned around when they heard the voice. The housekeeper and the property consultant were standing outside the door, smiling at them.
"Mr. Si." The two of them greeted Si Tu respectfully.
Si Tu entrusted a property consultant to handle the property donation and transfer procedures. A few minutes later, several people sat down in the lobby on the first floor.
The property consultant spread out some documents in front of Qin Mian, gave her a general overview, and asked her to prepare some personal materials later.
These are all necessary procedures.
Qin Mian looked at the gift contract and transfer documents in front of him, feeling a little complicated.
The cheapest house here is worth more than 10 million.
The apartment Si Tu gave her was 280 square meters, almost 300 square meters, and was worth more than 20 million yuan.
The temptation is too great.
In particular, Qin Mian has always wanted to get a house in Nanzhou.
And now, such a big house is right in front of her.
All she needs to do is sign a few names and she can get it.
However, is this house worth over 20 million really just... a reward for her loyalty to her boss?
This is somewhat beyond the normal compensation range.
Therefore, Qin Mian was somewhat worried and hesitant, curling his fingers on his knees again and again.
"Can I... think about it again?" In the end, she still couldn't accept it directly.
The others were a little surprised when they heard this.
The housekeeper and the property consultant looked at each other.
This is a property worth more than 20 million!
What is she hesitating about?!
Si Tu didn't expect that at this moment, facing such a generous reward, she would so calmly say that she would think about it again.
Clearly, this was what she had been looking forward to for a long time.
This time, it was his turn to be confused about what she was thinking.
In the past, he was always the one who could fully understand her thoughts.
His eyes darkened slightly as he stared at Qin Mian and asked the other two to leave first.
The two of them immediately stood up, said goodbye and walked away.
"You..." Si Tu stared at her, "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Mian calmed down and looked at the contract still spread out on the table. "Is this just a reward for me?"
Reward her for not betraying him.
Indeed, the money Qian offered to bribe her was not small, but if he wanted to reward her, there was no need to spend so many times more.
Si Tu himself knew best what else was involved.
And Qin Mian also sensed it quickly.
Having said that, there is no point in pretending to fool people.
Si Tu pondered for a moment and told the truth, "Yes, I have my own selfish motives."
He reached out, held her hand on her knee, looked at her seriously, and said, "Qin Mian, from now on, this is our home. Don't ever leave, okay?"
In name, he said it was a reward for her, but in fact, it was also a cage that contained his selfish motives.
It's easy to imagine that after accepting a property worth more than 20 million yuan from the other party, you still want to leave without saying goodbye?
In other words, he was indirectly restricting her freedom in this way.
Qin Mian chuckled.
Rather than a reward, it's more like...
Forget it, she didn't want to say it so harshly.
Saying unpleasant words is an insult to yourself.
"This house..." She finally made up her mind and closed the contract, "I can't take it."
She didn't want to sell herself for a house worth more than 20 million yuan.
Although she might not be able to afford such a house on her own in this lifetime, it is still not worthwhile to exchange the rest of her life for it.
Human freedom is more important than money.
"Why?" Si Tu was puzzled and tightened his grip on her hand. "Isn't this what you want most?"
What else does she want?
He can satisfy her too!
He just wanted to keep her by his side, and he was willing to pay any price.
But Qin Mian was unwilling to compromise and was unwilling to be the bound canary.
"I will have a house." Qin Mian raised his head and met his gaze. "I will earn enough money to buy one myself."
Maybe it wasn't as big as the one he gave her, and it wasn't valuable enough, but she earned it herself.
It is not something you can get by simply exchanging your life for it.
Si Tu fell silent.
"Qin Mian." He looked a little panicked. "Do you feel particularly wronged being with me?"
He forced it on her. He would obviously send Zhu Yinglong to jail, but he deliberately used this matter to threaten her so that she had to make a deal with him.
He achieved multiple goals at once, forcing Qin Mian to compromise.
Perhaps, Qin Mian also knew very well what he was planning from beginning to end.
She was willing to exchange with him, and she had no choice.
No one likes to be forced to make a choice.
That’s all I have to say…
Qin Mian let go of Si Tu's hand and said, "I don't like others forcing me."
So from the beginning to the end, even though he occasionally felt that the other person seemed to be quite good, Qin Mian never felt particularly moved.
Because deep down, she hated Si Tu forcing her.
She would not fall in love with him.
She hated being forced by others the most.
Being able to trade with him calmly was already her limit.
She stood up and walked around the coffee table to go out.
At this moment, Si Tu suddenly felt as if he had lost completely.
When he forced her to make a choice, he felt that everything was under his control and everything was going as he wanted.
But today he suddenly realized that everything was just superficial.
Qin Mian was forced to obey him on the surface, but deep down, she seemed to have erected a firewall against him, so no matter how hard he tried to get into her heart, it was all in vain.
Because he made the wrong move from the very beginning.
Qin Mian has compromised once and will not compromise again and exchange his life for his.
He knew this with absolute certainty at this moment.
**
It was also at this time that Zhu Yinglong's case made further progress.
On Thursday, Qin Mian received a message from Lawyer Gu saying that the trial would be held next month.
Are you all ready?
Gu Lu: [Yes, don't worry.]
This lawyer has worked for SC Group for many years, and economic cases are his best area. She believes that he can help her get her wish and obtain the maximum sentence for Zhu Yinglong.
She replied, "Thank you for your hard work."
On Friday night, Qin Mian received another invitation from Si Tu.
Let's go pick out some furniture together this weekend?
Ever since they were honest with each other at the new house on Wednesday, their relationship had become somewhat delicate.
In the next two days, both of them just handled their business, and their communication was limited to work, and they had no private contact.
Qin Mian was a little surprised when he suddenly received Si Tu's message.
"No matter what, it can still be used as a residence." Si Tu said again.
Qin Mian didn't want his house, and he didn't force it now.
But it was still convenient and suitable for the two of us to live there together.
Qin Mian also thought about it seriously and finally agreed.
【good. 】
She would not exchange her entire life for that house, but the previous transaction still exists.
Since she had agreed in the first place, she would still fulfill it no matter what.
Therefore, even though the two of them parted ways unpleasantly in the new house that day, now, I can still communicate with him in a friendly manner.
The house is a fully furnished one. It has been bought for more than half a year since the beginning of the year, but there is no furniture in it yet.
On Saturday, Si Tu drove over to pick her up, and then the two of them went to the furniture store together.
The first thing I picked out was the sofa.
Si Tu took a fancy to a very domineering series, and Qin Mian saw that the sofa was so wide that it was almost as big as an ordinary person's bed.
I remember that the living room of the large flat I visited that day was very spacious, so it was suitable for such a domineering sofa.
However, she couldn't help but sigh, "This can be used directly as a bed."
The casual remark made Si Tu next to him laugh.
"That's the best." He wanted this effect, and there was a smile in his words. He liked the sofa even more.
The reason why he chose this sofa set was because it was wide enough. Otherwise, when they played on the sofa in the future, it would limit his ability to play.
When Qin Mian heard him say this, he knew what he meant and his face turned red.
Afraid that the shopping guide next to her would hear her, she secretly glanced at the man.
"Where's the bed?" Si Tu turned his head and leaned close to her ear, "Do you like a big one or a small one?"
Since the sofa is so big, the bed must be... big.
So, Qin Mian subconsciously said, "Of course it's a big bed."
She didn't know why he suddenly asked her this. Didn't he like big ones?
However, Si Tu suddenly smiled and said, "I like the smaller ones."
Qin Mian:?
She was puzzled, and Si Tu turned his head and looked at her and smiled, "The bed is too small and it's hard to squeeze in, so we can only sleep in each other's arms."
Although he could understand Si Tu's idea, Qin Mian felt that a bigger bed was better, otherwise he would not be able to sleep comfortably.
"I can even sleep in a big bed while hugging my child," she said.
"So you said so!" Si Tu seized the opportunity to catch her words, "Let's buy a big bed, and you can hold me while sleeping every day in the future."
Qin Mian was stunned.
She suddenly realized that she seemed to have been fooled.
Didn't he deliberately mention buying a small bed just to trick her into saying something next?
