"Oh, nothing." Lina tried to suck on the juice to hide her impoliteness. Her long, thick eyelashes quivered, and she felt uneasy.
Qin Xiangjie narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a while. Then, he asked, "Miss Lina, were you … Do you feel sorry for me? " The look in her eyes was filled with pity. The look on her face was like she was looking at a pitiful bug.
Qin Xiangjie was shocked. This was the first time he had been pitied by someone, especially by a woman who was waiting for his funds to go into her own business. Hey, what were you up to?
She stuck out her tongue, showing her adorable side in front of others. Her deep green eyes rolled around. "Actually, it's not sympathy. I just suddenly felt that you have a deep affection for your sister-in-law." This feeling was deep enough to be described as grand, right? If he only wanted to simply take possession of her, she didn't know what had happened in the past. At the very least, she could stop trying to find Qin Haoran now, it would be much more likely than finding him now, wouldn't it? But he really did love that woman, so he couldn't bear to make her sad.
When Qin Xiangjie heard this, he smiled faintly, "I don't have very deep feelings for my sister-in-law. I do have very deep feelings for Yao Komeng." Then, he shot her a coquettish look, "Don't keep staring at me like that, you might fall in love with me."
Lena stared at him, her face warm from his joke. "Her name is Yao Ke Meng?" Lina changed the subject. She wasn't a gossipy woman, and she didn't know why she didn't want to hear too much about his feelings for Yao, but she didn't know if it was due to her jealousy. She wasn't sure.
Lina was also one of the best women in M city. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also famous for being clean and honest. In all these years, she had never made any kind of scandal, but she was also a woman who loved herself, and she had never indulged herself in this kind of situation.
"En, that's right. Do you still need to consider the conditions that I've given?" Qin Haoran didn't want to talk too much about Yao Ke Meng. Although Qin Hao had a good impression of Lina, it didn't mean that she had become a good person in his heart. Temporarily … He didn't want to have anything unusual to do with her either.
Lina did not expect him to turn up here all of a sudden, but this was also the most important thing for them to do, so she nodded, "Three days. I also want to know what Severn, Ugh, Qin Haoran are thinking. Actually, as you can see, I like Qin Haoran a lot. On one hand, it's because of his appearance. On the other hand, I feel that he has the charm of a man I've never seen before. I also know that Qin Haoran doesn't like me, but he doesn't seem to be very willing to go with you. Was he not on good terms with his wife? "
Qin Wenjie shook his head, "On the contrary, Qin Haoran can sacrifice his life for Yao Komeng. From the moment they fell in love until the moment of their marriage, he has been doing his best to protect Little Meng."
Lina nodded. "Then he must have been wary of you. Although we haven't known each other for long, I can tell that Qin Haoran is someone with a strong suspicion towards you."
Qin Xiangjie nodded.
"Then let's do it like this for today. Hmm, no matter what, I have to thank you for your help." Lina didn't know why she was being so courteous with him. In fact, they were just taking what they needed. Although Qin Xiangjie's offer was a bit high, it was definitely worth it. She didn't need to thank him.
Qin Xiangjie was also stunned, "You're welcome." As he watched Lina turn to leave, he once again felt that this woman was a little interesting. It was as if there were not many women who possessed both the domineering air of a strong woman and the gentle beauty of a young woman.
He felt his heart brighten as he met a woman who made him happy.
At this moment, Qin Haoran was doing some trivial work in Heather's house. He had no idea that Lina was going to 'sell' him to Qin Xiangjie. After meeting Yao Kexin the day before yesterday, his mood had always been heavy. Although he couldn't remember anything about this woman, nor feel any kinship with her child, he still felt an indescribable heaviness. His chest always hurt inexplicably, as if he had lost something very important. He thought, he must have loved that woman called Yao Ke-meng a lot. Although she looked very ordinary, she was so thin and weak that if he hugged her even a little bit, he would break her bones. This kind of woman was originally very weak and could only wait for a man to protect her. However, she was so small and small, yet she gave off a powerful feeling. It was as if she was telling everyone that she was underestimating her strength.
He didn't know how he fell in love with this woman, but when he thought about it now, he knew that if he let go of some stubborn thoughts, he might fall in love with her again. He didn't know.
In any case, he had already made his decision, so he wouldn't have a chance to know, right? He didn't know if he was thinking this because of regret, but it really made him feel uncomfortable.
He was in the control room in a daze when he was suddenly called by someone who said it was Miss Lena. Since Lina would call him whenever she had something to do, his colleagues didn't mind. He also felt that he was used to it, so he responded by getting up and going to the main hall of the villa.
Lina was sitting on the sofa, deep in thought. She rarely thought about anything in the living room, so it seemed like something very heavy.
"Miss Lena." Qin Haoran didn't ask any further questions, but respectfully stood in front of her. He didn't have the hobby of inquiring about her thoughts, and besides, he wasn't in the mood to care about those things right now. Sometimes a man's mind doesn't want to move. Now his mind is in a state of strike.
Lena stared at him for a long moment, not knowing what to say.
Qin Haoran indicated that he didn't like being looked at so seriously by a woman. Besides, even if his brain wasn't working well, he could tell that her expression was quite strange.
"Miss Lina, what do you want from me?" Qin Haoran's heart was covered in cold sweat. Looking at him with such a gaze, it couldn't be that he was going to 'propose' to him, right? Although this idea was a bit narcissistic, he still felt that this was definitely something Lina could do.
She knew that even in the last moments he would be as polite to her as he was to her. This man didn't belong to her, and since he didn't belong to her, why risk the family's century-old foundation for him? Perhaps she was just a common person. Standing in her current position, she couldn't help but to say that she didn't want anything for the sake of her so-called love.
"Seven, oh, that's not right. Qin Haoran, I have something very important to tell you." Lina's face was more serious than usual. She didn't want Qin Haoran to think that she had sold him out. Even though it was the truth, she wanted him to feel better.
When Qin Haoran heard her call his name in Chinese, he knew that it had something to do with Qin Xiangjie. Although he didn't know how powerful Qin Xiangjie was in the country C, he had heard Qin Xiangjie threaten Lena before. However, there was nothing on his face that could be seen. Regardless of what it was, it was not something he could change. Thus, he chose to quietly wait for the answer.
Lina pursed her lips, took a deep breath and said seriously, "Previously, my poor investment in the business caused a large loss for the company. Now, I need a large amount of money for my turnover. Qin Wenjie said that he can provide me with the money. The condition is that you go with him."
"Mm, got it." Qin Haoran displayed a calmness that Lena could not understand.
"I know that in your heart, I sold you out because of the money, but I had no choice. I can't take the family's hundred years of foundation to take the risk, I hope you can understand." Lina could not bear to see this happen. Although it was their responsibility, when she faced Qin Haoran, she would feel that she owed him something, and she would forget that she was his boss.
"This is what I should do. How about this, just treat it as me repaying you for saving my life. When should I go?" Qin Haoran seemed to be resigned to his fate, but he didn't have any particular feeling in his heart. Because he had guessed the reason, even if he wasn't prepared, he wouldn't have been too shocked.
He didn't even know who he was. What could frighten him? Besides, he couldn't refuse such an arrangement. His life was saved, so there was nothing to worry about.
In fact, Lena had already expected such a reaction from Qin Haoran. She was the one who was feeling conflicted. No matter what, Qin Haoran was a man that she had taken a fancy to. He left just like that without a trace of reluctance. How could she not feel sad? On the one hand, she was very clear that Qin Haoran's reaction made it easier for both of them to get through this. After all, the current situation was something that couldn't be changed no matter what.
Of course, Qin Haoran's reaction made her feel that her way of doing things was right. If he loved her, perhaps she could think of another way. Right now, she felt that this was good, but maybe one day Qin Haoran really recovered his memories so that he could continue his previous life with his beloved. Qin Xiangjie had said that Qin Haoran was willing to give up his life for that woman called Yao Komeng. She was now curious about this woman. Who knew what kind of special woman would cause these two outstanding brothers to fall in love at the same time?
In fact, love was something that made no sense. Yao Ke-meng couldn't be said to be an unrivalled woman. It was just that her appearance was very special.
