However, Cai Jingya still told her that this matchmaking event was ostensibly to help her younger brother Cai Jingyi choose a partner, but in reality, it was to deal with Ye Lin.
She knew who Ye Lin was, but she didn't know why Cai Jingya wanted to deal with him. She only heard Cai Jingya say that she hated Ye Lin.
She wasn't curious; she just wanted to know what Cai Jingya's plans were, and Cai Jingya explained them one by one.
She wasn't surprised, because the matter wasn't difficult at all; rather, it seemed like a prank, as if she wanted to see Ye Lin make a fool of himself and create an uncontrollable scene.
What she cared about more was... that Luo Chen would actually come...
Having not seen him for a long time, and learning that he was pursuing Fang Xue, I lost contact with him.
She doesn't like to be disturbed, nor is she curious, even when she's sad...
But when she saw Luo Chen, she couldn't help but feel both happy and nervous. However, Luo Chen's attitude towards her changed.
He was somewhat indifferent and distant, but she preferred him to him back then, when they were much more pleasant to be around.
Because of him, she changed everything, transforming from a crying little girl into a brave woman who no longer showed her emotions and became indifferent to everything.
In their words, she might not be too surprised or have too much emotion even if the world ended.
Because she always remembered what Luo Chen had said to her back then.
"Expressing your emotions too much often leads to losing everything you cherish, and your view of the world loses its color. Hiding them might not be so bad... at least, people won't think you're really sad..."
She always remembered, and never forgot.
But has he forgotten...?
He... seems to have forgotten...
Fortunately, she was able to hear his thoughts. Despite the fact that science could not explain this, she did not feel panic or shock, but rather relief.
Because your true feelings don't lie.
She could tell what Luo Chen was thinking.
She heard some strange things, but she ignored them because they weren't important.
It wasn't something she wanted to hear; it's just that she hadn't heard it...
Cai Jingya's plan succeeded; she seemed to know that Ye Lin would pass by the ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture collapsed, and it was a pity that Wang Gang suffered for no reason. The events unfolded exactly as Cai Jingya had predicted.
I also saw Wang Gang's courage and felt disgusted by Ye Lin's selfishness.
Of course, he stood up and went forward to help, and she was filled with curiosity and anticipation, especially when she saw him carving ice sculptures in a way she didn't know about. It was as if a ray of light was emanating from him, so dazzling.
The ice sculptures are beautiful, and a feeling of happiness fills my heart. I inexplicably long to have such happiness.
He became incredibly capable, yet also so unfamiliar.
Why wouldn't Fang Xue accept such a dazzling boy?
Suddenly, she became curious as to why Luo Chen was so persistent.
Mingming.
He cares more about him...
Seeing Han Zhiqing lost in thought, Han Yan coughed lightly a few times, and she calmly gazed at him.
Seeing his daughter like this, Han Yan was somewhat displeased. She used to cry so much when she was little, but she had changed so much. As for the reason, Han Yan still didn't know.
However, there was something he had to tell Han Zhiqing, something that concerned the reputation of his Han family.
"Daughter, I've come to talk to you about something today."
Han Zhiqing: ……
Han Yan said awkwardly, "Do you remember when I was seriously ill once?"
"Remember."
Han Zhiqing knew what Han Yan was talking about. Previously, Han Yan suffered from a strange illness, with red rashes growing on his hands. He went to the hospital for examination, but they couldn't find out what the illness was.
I initially thought it was a common ailment, and the doctor prescribed medication, but it had no effect whatsoever. Instead, it worsened, the rash intensified, and I even experienced some hallucinations.
This undoubtedly alarmed the Han family, but they couldn't find any illness, leaving them helpless.
Back then, Han Yan was the pillar of the Han family. If Han Yan fell, the Han family would fall too.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a young man arrived. He confidently said that he knew what the disease was and how to treat it.
But no one in the Han family believed him. His arrogant and unkempt appearance, coupled with his tendency to boast, made it impossible for them to believe him.
But the young man wasn't angry at all. Instead, as if he had expected it, he confidently stated that Han Yan's illness was Fabry disease!
Upon hearing this, even the doctor laughed, mocking the young man. Who was Han Yan? He had undergone all the necessary examinations, and there was absolutely nothing related to Fabry disease.
However, the young man said a few words in a casual tone, which shocked everyone.
The skeptical group took Han Yan to see the doctor again, and it turned out that it really was Fabry disease. The zebraic body was blocked by cell necrosis, which is why it was not detected.
Because of this, everyone finally understood Han Yan's illness.
Fabry disease is rare, and none of the doctors present had experience with it. However, the young man confidently took action, and under everyone's gaze, his medical skills saved Han Yan.
Because of Han Yan's illness, the Han family owed a great debt of gratitude to the young man, Ye Lin.
“Alright, daughter, since you remember, I won’t beat around the bush with you. We’ve owed them a debt of gratitude for a long time, and I don’t know how much longer I have to live, so… I want to repay it.”
After hesitating for a moment, Han Yan looked at Han Zhiqing apologetically: "Your birthday is in a few days, and you're at the age where you should be dating, so I think you should get engaged to Ye Lin."
Han Zhiqing: ……
"Um..." Han Yan continued, "You've witnessed Ye Lin's methods, and I believe you can see that he's no ordinary person. I actually quite approve of him becoming your fiancé, especially since our Han family owes him a great debt..."
Han Yan thought this was a win-win situation. He valued Ye Lin highly. Whether it was Ye Lin's superb medical skills or the extraordinary qualities he displayed, Han Yan felt that Ye Lin was a perfect match for his family as a son-in-law.
He even questioned whether his daughter was a suitable match for him.
If this leads to the two getting engaged and thus repaying a great debt of gratitude, the Han family will not lose out at all; in fact, they will make a huge profit.
Han Zhiqing remained silent.
Han Yan looked worried, afraid that Han Zhiqing wouldn't agree, since he had hinted at this to Ye Lin, and if something went wrong here.
Then it will be difficult to explain to Ye Lin.
"Father, I cannot agree to that," Han Zhiqing said coldly.
"What!"
“Father, I don’t like him.”
"you!"
Han Yan slammed his fist on the table in anger, glaring at Han Zhiqing: "Do you think you've grown up and are starting to disobey me?"
"no."
Han Zhiqing shook her head slightly. She said calmly, "I have always listened to my father and never disobeyed you. But there is one thing I cannot agree to."
"..."
Han Yan remained silent for a while before coldly saying, "Back then, your mother sacrificed herself to protect you. All these years, I have been taking care of you. I originally thought you would continue to be obedient, so that I could use this opportunity to get married to Ye Lin and repay the Han family's great kindness. I didn't expect you to refuse. So, have you forgotten what happened before?"
When Han Yan brought up this matter, Han Zhiqing couldn't help but clench her fists. How could she forget what happened back then? It was a pain in her heart, but bringing up this matter would undoubtedly make her very disappointed.
Not long after her mother died, Han Yan married another woman and had a younger sister. As a child, she not only received no love but was also very lonely. Because of her mother's situation, she never disobeyed Han Yan and has been obedient to this day.
However, it is impossible for her to marry Ye Lin.
She already had someone she liked in her heart.
"I'm telling you right now, you have to get engaged whether you like it or not, or get out of the Han family!"
"Father!"
"Stop talking. Ye Lin is someone I have high hopes for. With him joining the Han family, our Han family will surely rise to prominence. In the future, not to mention surpassing the Luo family, our Han family will have a place in the whole of China and be respected. You don't need to ask too much about this matter. I will arrange it for you!"
"Father...so you want to lose me as your daughter?" Han Zhiqing looked coldly at Han Yan.
Han Yan was taken aback, then said, "I advise you not to do anything foolish. I know your weakness. If you do something that displeases me, I will dig up your mother's urn!"
"On your birthday party, I'll make arrangements to tell everyone about this, so you better behave yourself."
After saying that, Han Yan left before Han Zhiqing could speak.
