If Jin Chengyan is the person that Qin Cheng cannot afford to offend, then his father is an even more formidable figure. Years ago, when the Jin Family's status was not yet unshakeable, Jin Chengyan's father and his wife made waves on a cruise ship in international waters during a mining competition, overpowering all others.
It is important to note that the people aboard that cruise ship that night were influential figures in both the underworld and legitimate society.
What exactly happened that night remains a mystery, but afterward, no one dared to go against his wishes, solidifying the unique position of the Jin Family.
Jin Chengyan's mother is also a legendary figure in her own right. Back then, she entered the Jin Family with a substantial dowry and managed the family business alongside her husband. On that fateful night aboard the cruise ship, she stood side by side with him.
They carved a bloody path through chaos.
Now, as Jin Chengyan prepares to take Jono to meet these two almost mythical figures, she is understandably terrified.
"Mr. Jin... can we... talk about this later..." It's not that Jono is cowardly; it's just that in her current state, how could she possibly meet his parents?
Upon hearing Jono's words, Jin Chengyan paused. "So, does this mean you agree to marry me?"
Jono realized she had fallen into Jin Chengyan's trap. She was merely expressing her anxiety about meeting his elders and had inadvertently acknowledged her intention to marry him.
"Alright, let's stop joking around." Jin Chengyan released Jono's hand and noticed it was slightly sweaty—she was clearly very nervous.
"My parents don't live here."
Co-author, Jin Chengyan was just joking earlier!
Did Jono even realize how nervous she had been? Worried that her identity would make Jin Chengyan's parents look down on her, concerned they might reject her, anxious about...
No, why was she so worried? Had she unconsciously started to think that she was meant to marry him under Jin Chengyan's persuasion?
No, it wasn't like that.
Seeing that Jono seemed a bit angry, Jin Chengyan didn't feel impatient. "You should go take a shower and change your clothes. You really don't look suitable to meet the Parents-in-law like this."
He looked her up and down; indeed, she looked quite disheveled.
Once composed, Jono couldn't help but say, "Can you 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 will think it through carefully."
This was the first time Jono spoke about her betrayal by Shen Fengye in front of others. She believed she couldn't be completely untroubled or trust someone as she once did.
Just as she said, even if it were a marriage of convenience, she would still consider it thoroughly.
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 think it through."
But in truth, Jono 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, Jono headed upstairs, instinctively thinking the bathroom must be up there.
But after taking two steps, she realized she didn’t know this place at all. Gritting her teeth, she turned back and asked him, "Where should I take a shower..."
Unlike her earlier determination, she now resembled a wilting flower.
Unexplainably, Jin Chengyan felt a sense of lightness in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced before.
"The upstairs is my bedroom. Are you planning to shower in my bathroom?" he said seriously.
Yet Jono felt he was teasing her. In a fit of frustration, she stomped down the stairs and dashed into one of the rooms on the first floor.
She could still clearly hear Jin Chengyan's laughter!
