"Ye Chen, you bastard, come back right now, I accept you!"

Qin Lan was feeling some regret, she shouldn't have been so stubborn, she knew full well that Ye Chen was impatient, yet she still wanted to test him for a month, wasn't that just digging her own grave?

For Ye Chen, persisting for half a month had already been quite an achievement, why couldn't she just be content?

But now it was too late to regret, Ye Chen had long since vanished without a trace.

"Ye Chen, it's all my fault, if you come looking for me tomorrow, I'll accept you!" Qin Lan prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Ye Chen would come again the next day.

The next day.

As soon as it was time to clock out, Qin Lan rushed out, wanting to catch a glimpse of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had pursued her for a month and had been coldly rejected by her, Qin Lan really feared that Ye Chen might give up.

Qin Lan stepped out of the police station, and seeing Ye Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, brought her a slight sense of relief.

But why, when Qin Lan had shown up, hadn't Ye Chen come over?

Qin Lan thought maybe Ye Chen hadn't seen her, so she stood in place for a few minutes as a sign of sincerity, deciding not to play hard to get anymore.

However, Qin Lan waited and waited, yet Ye Chen just didn't come over, which left her feeling a bit disheartened.

What was Ye Chen trying to imply?

Looking at Ye Chen in the distance, Qin Lan couldn't fathom his thoughts anymore.

Could it be that Ye Chen, after his harsh words yesterday, was now embarrassed? Yes, that must be it.

"Forget it, the goddess is in a good mood today, I'll give you a chance proactively!"

Qin Lan decided not to hold Ye Chen's past behavior against him and to wholeheartedly forgive him; after all, she had been worried for a long while yesterday when Ye Chen spewed his threats, afraid that he really wouldn't come back.

"Ye Chen, why aren't you coming over, what are you stupidly standing there for?"

Qin Lan had decided to have a proper life with Ye Chen, so she took the initiative and ran over to give Ye Chen a chance to make amends.

"Do we have anything to do with each other?" Ye Chen's attitude was unfriendly, ignoring the sincerity of the goddess who had come to him.

"You!"

Qin Lan hopped over with an open heart, at a moment when she was joyful.

But Ye Chen's response was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the small flame that had just ignited in her heart.

"What are you running over here for?" Ye Chen said indifferently. "Do you need something from me?"

Seeing Ye Chen's cold demeanor, Qin Lan was so frightened that she even forgot to be angry, because he looked so fierce.

She had come over to accept Ye Chen, who would have imagined his attitude would be so cold and distant, so unlike his former self, his eyes no longer held love, only a chilling indifference.

Ye Chen remained expressionless and didn't even glance at Qin Lan beside him, as if he truly didn't love her anymore.

"..."

Qin Lan stood next to Ye Chen for several minutes, waiting for him to ask her out for dinner, a movie, or anything, but Ye Chen remained silent, as if she didn't exist, and this deepened Qin Lan's sadness.

Eventually, Qin Lan left in disappointment, as if her soul had been lost.

She couldn't understand, why had Ye Chen come? And since he did come, why was he so indifferent?

Ye Chen came to block her day after day, and even if Qin Lan didn't give him much attention, she was still very happy inside.

Especially when rejecting Ye Chen, it felt so pleasurable and uplifting inside.

But now, Ye Chen had changed completely, his cold gaze sent shivers down Qin Lan's spine.

Qin Lan drove back home, her mind restless the entire way.

Could it really be that just because of her willfulness, Ye Chen became so angry that he gave up on her?

Qin Lan didn't want to, nor dared to think about it anymore. She was afraid the answer she came to wouldn't be something she could accept.

Qin Lan thought about making amends with Ye Chen, saying a few nice words to him, and that would probably be enough to receive his forgiveness.

While it's said that "a man chasing a woman is separated by a mountain, a woman chasing a man is only separated by a layer of yarn."

When she got back home, Qin Lan started cooking. She wanted to have dinner early so that she could go to Ye Chen's place and have a good talk with him.

Over the lengthy period of interaction, even if they only exchanged a few words each day, Qin Lan and Ye Chen had communicated quite a lot.

Qin Lan knew where Ye Chen lived. As long as she could lower her guard, she could show up at his place anytime.

"Weird, why isn't my sister back yet?" Qin Lan wondered while cooking rice in the kitchen.

Qin Lan and Qin Ying worked at the same police station, and usually, Qin Ying would come home half an hour later than her. But now it had been an hour late, and Qin Ying still wasn't home.

"Little sister, I'm back!" Just when Qin Lan was lost in her thoughts, Qin Ying finally returned.

"Sister, what happened today? Why have you come back so late?" Qin Lan asked from the kitchen.

"Nothing much... Little sister, cook a couple more dishes, we have a guest over at home today!" Qin Ying said.

"A guest?" Qin Lan said in surprise.

Qin Ying hadn't brought anyone home before. Today she came home this late and even brought a guest. Could it be that sister brought back a man? Qin Lan thought subconsciously.

"Houses in the capital are more expensive than gold. Your villa is in a good location; you can't even get one for several tens of millions. I didn't see it coming, but you're quite the little rich lady, huh!"

As Qin Lan grew curious, she heard a man's voice—only, it sounded so familiar.

"I learned to do business in my spare time, and after a little back and forth, I made some money, and then I bought this villa!" Qin Ying replied to the man.

"I wouldn't have guessed you had a talent for business," the man said somewhat surprised. "I have several companies, how about you come manage them for me? I'll give you shares, how about that?"

"Forget about it, my pursuit isn't money!" Qin Ying said.

"If not money, then what?" the man asked.

"I'm not telling you!"

"..."

Qin Lan was in the kitchen preparing the meal, so she hadn't seen the visiting guest. But the man's voice was very familiar. She definitely knew this man, yet she couldn't recall who he was at the moment.

Suddenly, Qin Lan abandoned the stir-fry in the pan and dashed towards the living room. She seemed to have realized something.

"Ye Chen, what are you doing at my house?" Seeing Ye Chen in her home made her heart thump wildly. An uncontrollable joy showed on her face.

Ye Chen had been cold in his demeanor today. Qin Lan thought he was angry and didn't expect that he'd follow her home!

What did Ye Chen mean by this? Was he trying to surprise her?

"Mind your own business!" Ye Chen said in an unfriendly tone.

"Ye Chen, my sister is here. Let's talk about our issues in private," Qin Lan said.

"Qin Lan, you're thinking too much. I'm not here to chase you!" Ye Chen laughed.

"This is my house, if you're not here to chase me, then what are you here for!" Qin Lan still thought Ye Chen was just embarrassed, unwilling to let his guard down.

"Are you stupid? Who did I come with, huh?" Ye Chen gave her a look.

"You..." Qin Lan jolted. "Sister, you brought him here?"

Qin Lan stared at her sister with wide eyes, disbelief written all over her face, as if something unbearable had happened.

"Yeah, after work, Ye Chen cornered me. Then Ye Chen said he liked me and wanted to pursue me. At first, I didn't want to entertain him, but he kept sending flowers, getting on his knees, and inviting me to dinner. I felt rather embarrassed, so I said I'd observe him!" Qin Ying shrugged.

"Ye Chen said he wants to pursue you, and you just brought him home?!" Qin Lan asked with wide eyes.
