It can be said that Qin Yiyan's words were asked in an unceremonious manner, which even made Liu Xinai feel a little embarrassed.
Liu Xinai froze in place, never expecting that the conversation between the two would start like this.
She quickly organized her thoughts and looked at the face of the person in front of her, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Then she said: "Marriage is not a matter of one person. I am the only one who has the right to make the decision. I'm afraid it doesn't matter." Use it?"
"Well, that's a smart answer." Qin Yiyan seemed to be satisfied with her reply and nodded casually.
Then he continued: "But I have no intention of rejecting this matter. Now it seems that you are the only one who objects to the marriage."
"You don't object? Why?" Liu Xinai's eyes widened suddenly and she looked at Qin Yiyan in disbelief.
A dark light flashed in Qin Yiyan's eyes, and he said lightly: "Why is this necessary? We are all adults. As the eldest lady of the Liu family... you don't understand what it means to put interests first, right?"
Liu Xinai was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Does the man in front of me regard marriage as a bargaining chip for profit?
Just because the Liu family and the Qin family, both of which are among the four major aristocratic families, will become stronger after combining?
Liu Xinai felt a little angry and couldn't help but said: "Profit? You..."
But before he finished speaking, he heard Qin Yiyan whisper again: "Don't be in a hurry to refute me. If you want to tell me that two people need some illusory love to be together, that's too childish! Miss Liu, You must be past the age of believing in such things, right?”
All Liu Xinai's words were stuck in her mouth, and she didn't know how to refute them for a moment.
Qin Yiyan completely gained the upper hand.
His demeanor did not look like he was facing his future wife, but rather like an opponent at the negotiating table.
Seeing that Liu Xinai stopped talking, he immediately took advantage of the victory and said, "I didn't refuse this matter from the beginning because I can clearly distinguish the pros and cons, and you..."
Qin Yiyan said, looking Liu Xinai up and down.
He reached out his hand in a very gentlemanly manner and placed the dishes brought by the waiter in front of Liu Xinai.
Then he continued in a calm tone: "To be honest, I should have known about this matter earlier than you, and I have also investigated you privately. Compared with other eldest ladies from aristocratic families, both in terms of knowledge and gentle personality , are all very suitable to be the young lady of the Qin family, and I can also assure you that after getting married, you can continue to live your current life. I will not prevent you from going out to work, nor will I limit your financial consumption. The same is true for you. You can live a happy life, and you can even ask me if you have any requests. As long as it’s not too much, I can help you complete it.”
Qin Yiyan spoke clearly and logically, and presented the marriage between two people like a detailed contract, with every item clearly laid out in front of Liu Xin'ai.
Liu Xinai listened without saying a word and asked helplessly: "Young Master Qin just treats our marriage as a transaction, right?"
"Yes." Qin Yiyan nodded without hesitation and picked up the wine glass: "All marriages in this world are inherently transactions. Otherwise, how would there be such things as betrothal gifts and dowries? But I can What you give is naturally different from ordinary people."
"What's the reason? Why does it have to be me? Considering Young Master Qin's conditions, he should have any kind of woman he wants, right?" Liu Xinai suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Qin Yiyan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he replied: "That's true, I've seen too many women... But it's not that easy to be the young lady of the Qin family. As I said just now, I have researched you and feel you are the most suitable candidate."
"But I don't want to!!!" Liu Xinai finally couldn't hold it back and retorted forcefully.
What kind of product are you?
Why do you have to be picked here and there?
And does Qin Yiyan have any narcissism?
Do you really think that women all over the world like him?
Liu Xinai suddenly turned on the complaining mode in her heart and was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Qin Yiyan's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and he stared at Liu Xinai for a few seconds. It seemed that he did not expect that she would have such a tough attitude, and finally there was a slight look of surprise on his face.
"It seems that there is a slight deviation in my investigation of you, but this will not affect anything."
Qin Yiyan put down his wine glass and his expression suddenly became much more serious.
Then he said calmly: "Miss Liu, you have no choice in this matter. I think... your father should have told you the same thing, so please be prepared to be an An'an in the future." My dear young lady of the Qin family, I will not treat you badly."
"Sorry, I have never agreed to this myself!!!"
Liu Xinai couldn't bear it anymore and didn't even want to eat. She stood up from her seat and was about to leave with her bag.
Just as he took a step forward, he heard Qin Yiyan behind him say in a deep voice: "You'd better think about it. I'll tell Uncle Liu that we had a great chat at lunch today."
Liu Xinai's steps suddenly stopped, she gave him one last deep look, and strode away without hesitation.
When she got back to the car, she had no intention of going home. Instead, she said directly to the driver: "I want to go to a nearby park. I want to relax alone."
"Okay, miss." The driver responded in a low voice.
Not long after, the car was parked directly at the entrance of a nearby park.
Liu Xinai got out of the car without looking back and walked towards the depths of the park.
In his mind, everything was what Qin Yiyan said just now.
Thinking of the man's calm face and extremely clear logic when he spoke, she suddenly couldn't help but shudder.
Dealing with this kind of people... will be very tiring for the rest of your life.
Because he looks...impeccable!
There was no room for refutation at all.
It seems that as an adult who grew up in a family, his approach could not be more correct.
But can marriage really be traded?
Is it really that naive and ridiculous to want to have a two-way love?
Liu Xinai was a little tired from walking, so she slowly sat down on the bench at the edge of the woods. She couldn't help but open her bag and took out a small exquisite box from it.
With a click, the lid of the small box was gently opened.
A diamond ring lay quietly inside, shining with tiny light.
It was the engagement ring she once shared with the person she loved most.
Liu Xinai looked at the little things in the box quietly, and couldn't help but have a wry smile on her face.
"Chenghao... How wonderful would it be if nothing happened to you? Then we... should even have children now..."
