"Understood, understood."

Li Qinyi's voice trembled, and because her head was lowered, tears slipped onto her chest, quickly soaking her shirt.

She was desperate, she was helpless, but she couldn't defy Jiang Banxia's orders.

Then, Jiang Banxia put down the teacup, turned around, and went back to the room, leaving only the sorrowful Li Qinyi and Granny Qiu in the living room.

Seeing Jiang Banxia already upstairs, Granny Qiu walked over to Li Qinyi and helped her sit down, "Qinyi, you don't have to be too sad. Qin Chuan's future achievements will certainly not be low, and becoming his woman might not be a bad thing for you."

In Granny Qiu's view, if Li Qinyi did not become Qin Chuan's woman, then her only fate would be as a family sacrifice, marrying a wealthy second-generation with power and influence.

Moreover, this wealthy second-generation would most likely not be a direct heir, but a branch family member.

Because with Li Qinyi's status, no direct heir would be willing to marry her.

In the marriages of prominent families, they're about matching social status and forming powerful alliances.

Li Qinyi's family background could only allow her to marry a branch family member of a prominent family.

Instead of marrying a branch family wealthy second-generation without power and unknown conduct, at least Qin Chuan's potential was obvious.

So young, yet skilled in both medicine and martial arts, as long as he is given enough time to grow, within five years, he will surely have a place at the top of Jiang City's pyramid.

As for the issue of being unfaithful.

Granny Qiu sees through it; at her age, what kind of people hasn't she seen?

Which truly capable man doesn't maintain a steady home while having colorful flags outside?

How many can truly promise to remain loyal to one person for a lifetime in today's society?

Furthermore, most young people nowadays only settle down after they've played around and gotten tired.

This is the norm.

"Granny Qiu, you don't have to persuade me anymore; I will complete the task President Jiang assigned to me." Li Qinyi wiped away her tears.

Granny Qiu glanced in the direction of the second floor and then said earnestly, "Child, some people's fates are destined from birth. If you want to escape, you must learn to seize every opportunity."

"Even if the opportunity seems very slim, if you want to change, you have to treat every opportunity as the last straw and grab it tightly."

"What Miss is doing now is just that, and what you need to do is the same thing. Granny won't be wrong about this; Qin Chuan is no ordinary person, and his future achievements might even surpass the Jiang Family!"

Here, Granny Qiu wasn't talking about Jiang Banxia, but about the Jiang Family behind Jiang Banxia.

Upon hearing this, Li Qinyi couldn't help but be a bit surprised. She didn't expect Granny Qiu to hold such a high opinion of Qin Chuan.

However, after her brief surprise, reality dragged her thoughts back down.

Ultimately, she still had to complete the task Jiang Banxia entrusted to her: to get close to Qin Chuan, to entice Qin Chuan, to become Qin Chuan's woman.

The love she yearned for would never belong to her.

Sweet romance was ultimately a luxury.

From this moment on, she, this pawn, was laid out on the chessboard by the one holding the pieces.

…

On the other side, after leaving Jiang Banxia's villa, Qin Chuan headed straight to Tongde Hall.

Wen Yaxin knew he was coming today, and she had taken the day off from school early and bought groceries, waiting for him to come for lunch.

"Weren't you going to cook yourself? Why is it all takeout?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask when he arrived at Tongde Hall and saw the table full of food.

As soon as he said this, Elder Jiang, dining with them, couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Qin, you're late; if you had come half an hour earlier, you could have witnessed the spectacular scene of the kitchen on fire," Elder Jiang teased without reservation.

"Grandpa!!!"

Wen Yaxin puffed her cheeks, her pretty face full of grievance and embarrassment.

"Clearly, it's the kitchenware that's the problem. I followed the instructions exactly, yet the fire was either too strong, or I couldn't flip the dish properly," Wen Yaxin complained.

Hearing this, Elder Jiang laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, don't worry. Grandpa will replace the whole set of kitchenware this afternoon."

Only then did Wen Yaxin smile, "That's more like it. It's your kitchenware that's the problem."

"I don't have a choice. You burned them all," Elder Jiang added.

"Grandpa!!! Aaaah!!!"

Wen Yaxin completely lost it. She felt utterly embarrassed, especially in front of the man she loved.

"Alright, alright, takeout is good too. Mr. Qin must be hungry. Let's eat," Elder Jiang said with a smile.

Then Qin Chuan and the two of them began to eat the takeout together.

After the meal, Elder Jiang handed Qin Chuan a transfer receipt.

"Mr. Qin, the money for the last batch of Gathering Essence Pills has been transferred to your account." Elder Jiang couldn't stop smiling.

Qin Chuan nodded and glanced at the amount: 9.1 million.

Including this sum, his account already had over 20 million.

Unknowingly, he was well on the way to becoming a multi-millionaire, moving closer and closer to becoming a billionaire.

"Grandpa, don't disturb Mr. Qin's alchemy. Mr. Qin still has things to do later," Wen Yaxin urged.

The uninformed Elder Jiang glanced disdainfully at Wen Yaxin, then chose not to bother Qin Chuan.

About two hours later, Qin Chuan handed seventy Gathering Essence Pills over to Elder Jiang.

With previous experience and the progress he made during this period, Qin Chuan's mental state after finishing the alchemy was noticeably better than before.

"Grandpa, umm, Mr. Qin is tired. I'll take him back to rest."

Wen Yaxin had been eagerly waiting, and as soon as Qin Chuan finished, she volunteered to be the driver.

"This child of yours," Elder Jiang remarked, unable to do anything about her, allowing her to have her way.

However, seeing Wen Yaxin's attitude towards Qin Chuan, he seemed to sense a different kind of feeling.

Meanwhile, once in Wen Yaxin's car, Qin Chuan was driven to her residential area.

"Why do I feel like you're even more eager than I am?" Qin Chuan said, half amused, half helpless.

"I miss you, I just want to be close to you," Wen Yaxin said coquettishly.

To her, who had given both her heart and body to Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan was her entire world.

She wanted nothing more than to cuddle in Qin Chuan's arms all the time, to try out more positions with him, to wear the sexiest clothes and present her best self to him.

Alluring and captivating, only to win a smile from him.

Soon, Wen Yaxin's car stopped at the underground parking lot of the apartment complex.

However, she did not hurry to get out of the car.

Instead, she undid her seatbelt, reclined the seat, and then conveniently climbed into the back seat, "Do you remember the first time you touched me there? I want to... reenact that moment."
