If Jin Chengyan is the person that Qin Cheng cannot afford to offend, then his father is an even more formidable figure. Years ago, the Jin Family's status was not as unshakeable as it is now. However, Jin Chengyan's father, accompanied by his wife, made a significant impact during a mineral rights auction on a cruise ship in international waters, overpowering all competitors.
It is important to note that the individuals present on that cruise ship that night were influential figures in both the underworld and legitimate society.
What exactly transpired that night remains a mystery to everyone, but afterward, no one dared to go against his wishes, solidifying the Jin Family's unique position.
Jin Chengyan's mother is also a legendary figure in her own right. She entered the Jin Family with a substantial dowry and worked alongside her husband to manage the family business. On that fateful cruise night, she stood shoulder to shoulder with her husband.
They carved a bloody path through chaos and conflict.
Now, as Jin Chengyan prepares to introduce Qiao Nuo to these two almost mythical figures, she is understandably terrified.
"Mr. Jin... can we... talk about this later..." It's not that Qiao Nuo is cowardly; it's just that she feels utterly unprepared to meet his parents in her current state.
Upon hearing Qiao Nuo's words, Jin Chengyan paused. "So, does this mean you agree to marry me?"
Qiao Nuo realized she had been caught in Jin Chengyan's trap. She was merely expressing her anxiety about meeting his parents and had inadvertently confirmed her intention to marry him by suggesting they postpone the meeting.
"Alright, no more jokes." Jin Chengyan released Qiao Nuo's hand and noticed that his palm had grown sweaty—she must have been so nervous that she was sweating as well.
"My parents don't live here."
Jin Chengyan was just joking earlier!
Did Qiao Nuo know how nervous she had been? She worried that her background would make Jin Chengyan's parents look down on her, that they would find her unworthy, and she worried...
No, why was she so concerned? Had she, under Jin Chengyan's persuasion, unconsciously started to think that she was meant to marry him?
No, it wasn't like that.
Seeing that Qiao Nuo seemed a bit upset, Jin Chengyan didn't feel impatient. "You should go take a shower and change your clothes. You really don't look presentable enough to meet the parents."
He looked her up and down; indeed, she looked quite disheveled.
Once Qiao Nuo calmed down, she couldn't help but say, "Can you please stop joking? Marriage is a very important matter for me. You know I've been betrayed before, so when it comes to marriage, even if it's just a paper agreement, I have to think it through carefully."
This was the first time Qiao Nuo had mentioned her betrayal by Shen Fengye in front of others. She believed she could not be completely unguarded or trust someone as she once did.
Just as she said, even if it were a marriage of convenience, she would still ponder over it multiple times.
The smile on Jin Chengyan's face faded away. When he wasn't smiling, he truly looked intimidating.
Then he said, "I'm sorry; I didn't consider this properly."
But in truth, Qiao Nuo didn't even know what required an apology. She didn't understand why she had been entangled with Jin Chengyan for so long or why something she could easily refuse now left her feeling hesitant.
"I’m going to take a shower."
With that, Qiao Nuo headed upstairs, instinctively thinking the bathroom must be on the upper floor.
However, after taking a couple of steps, she realized she was completely unfamiliar with the place. Gathering her courage, she turned back and asked him, "Where should I take a shower…"
Unlike her earlier determination, she now resembled a wilting flower.
Indescribably, Jin Chengyan felt a lightness in his heart, a sensation he had never experienced before.
"The upstairs is my bedroom. Are you planning to shower in my bathroom?" he said with a serious tone.
But Qiao Nuo felt as though he was teasing her. In a fit of annoyance, she stomped back down the stairs and rushed into one of the rooms on the first floor.
She could still clearly hear Jin Chengyan's laughter!
