"What the heck?"
Qin Chuan rubbed his eyes while sitting in the taxi, thinking it was just a trick of his vision. But after staring at the screen a couple of tis, he realized Li Qinyi did indeed send him that question.
"What should I do about this?"
Qin Chuan felt a bit hesitant.
Part of him wanted to say he didn't like her, yet after spending so ti together, he thought Li Qinyi actually had a pretty nice personality. Especially when he saw her looking pitiful just now, he had a fleeting urge to protect her.
But if he were to say he liked her, it doesn't seem like it's at that point yet. After all, what he and Li Qinyi experienced was rely acting.
"Perhaps I might?" After much hesitation, Qin Chuan gave an ambiguous answer.
"Either you do or you don't, what does 'perhaps' even an?"
Li Qinyi almost replied instantly.
She was sitting in the private car arranged by Jiang Banxia, pouting, feeling annoyed.
She had never seen anyone answer a question like that before.
What does 'perhaps' even an?
So is it yes, or no?
Or does it an her charm isn't enough, implying she needs to work harder?
Li Qinyi had a certain confidence in her looks and figure, especially her figure, of which she was particularly proud.
Her chest could rival that of those so-called exotic beauties from abroad without being at a disadvantage.
The kind that made countless n unable to take their eyes off her.
Yet, Qin Chuan provided such a muddled response.
Isn't that just an?
At the sa ti, Qin Chuan sent his own explanation: "Actually, I don't know much about matters of the heart. You might see many won around , but I truly don't know what liking soone ans or what love is."
"I only know that I want to protect them, not see them sad, and hope they can all be happy."
"And just now, I felt an urge to protect you too, but I don't know if this feeling counts as liking soone."
Qin Chuan typed out over a hundred characters in a single breath, every word reflecting his true thoughts.
And on Li Qinyi's side, seeing the lengthy reply, her expression froze.
She carefully read each word, trying to understand what Qin Chuan was trying to express.
In the end, her gaze fixed on the words 'want to protect you'.
Staring at these words, Li Qinyi's heart stirred, as though a little deer had bumped into her chest, creating a crack in her heart.
A warm feeling seeped through the crack, warming her entire heart.
Unknowingly, emotions started to flow in her eyes, a faint smile spread across her face, as if she was imrsed in romance, surrounded by happiness.
She cherished her phone like a precious jewel, reading Qin Chuan's ssage over and over again without getting bored.
After a while, she rembered to reply to Qin Chuan: "Hmph! You say you don't know anything? Each word is so charming; I bet you've said it to lots of girls."
"Charming? Was I charming her?"
Qin Chuan was stunned, reflexively responded, "No, I didn't an to charm you, I was just sharing my current thoughts."
After replying, Qin Chuan took another look at the long ssage he sent.
But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find any word that had any charming or suggestive aning.
"I replied so seriously, why does she think I'm being charming?" Qin Chuan scratched his head, clueless.
"Qin Chuan, you're such a dummy!"
At this mont, Li Qinyi sent another reply, with a pig emoji at the end.
"Why are you calling nas out of nowhere?" Qin Chuan replied, feeling a bit frustrated.
Seeing this, Li Qinyi burst into laughter, filled with the taste of happiness.
She could now confirm that Qin Chuan was indeed a blockhead.
However, it was this sincere blockhead that was often the most charming.
Now Li Qinyi felt herself gradually being moved by Qin Chuan's sincerity.
His kindness, his sincerity silently crept into Li Qinyi's heart.
This transford her initial resistance into acceptance, which further evolved into a desire to be close to him.
Maybe Qin Chuan wasn't the most exciting or romantic guy, but he was definitely soone trustworthy and worthy of a lifeti commitnt.
Compared to the spoiled heirs the Jiang Family had arranged for her, the issue of Qin Chuan having multiple won around him was sothing she could accept.
For reasons unknown, Li Qinyi just felt that no matter how many won surrounded Qin Chuan, as long as she was with him, he wouldn't neglect her and would protect her.
A woman from a prestigious family inherently lacks the freedom to choose.
Many won who marry into wealthy families seem glamorous on the surface but hide countless sorrows behind the scenes, even needing to humbly beg for a shred of attention from their husbands.
In comparison, being with Qin Chuan was a thousand tis, even ten thousand tis better.
Thinking of this, Li Qinyi leaned against the window, breathed onto it, and then drew a heart full of happiness on the glass.
About half an hour later, Li Qinyi finally returned to the Jiang Family Villa.
She stood at the villa's entrance, took several deep breaths, and tried to adjust her emotions.
"Take a seat."
Entering the living room, she saw Jiang Banxia holding a comic book, casually speaking.
Li Qinyi lowered her head and tiptoed forward, sitting far away from Jiang Banxia.
Jiang Banxia's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she wanted to say sothing but held back.
She absent-mindedly flipped through a few pages of the comic book, which normally would be captivating, but at the mont seed dull.
She closed the comic, and in a flat tone, said: "Tell about what happened today."
Hearing this, Li Qinyi took a deep breath and conveyed the agreed-upon story she had previously discussed with Qin Chuan to Jiang Banxia.
"He really was angry." Jiang Banxia frowned, subconsciously reaching to touch her face.
Her main concern now was whether Qin Chuan would help cure her.
"President Jiang, I'm sorry, it's all because of my mistake, if I hadn't drunk that bottle of water, things wouldn't have escalated like this."
Li Qinyi feigned regret, promising, "But don't worry, Qin Chuan... he's really captivated by my body, I'm willing to try again, please give another chance."
"We'll talk about it later, you must be tired today, go rest."
Jiang Banxia waved her hand and got up to head toward the garden.
Once in the garden, she took out her phone and found Qin Chuan's number.
"Grandma, what do you think of Qin Chuan?" Jiang Banxia asked the empty garden.
Just as her voice faded, Aunt Qiu's figure appeared behind her like a ghost: "Which aspect does Miss an?"
"Potential."
Jiang Banxia explained, "Do you think, in the future, he can go far?"
"Hard to say."
Aunt Qiu shook her head, "Qin Chuan, this young man, is the most enigmatic person I've ever seen. In him, I even see the shadow of the old family master."
Jiang Banxia nodded in agreent, then continued, "If I wanted him to be my husband, what do you think?"
