The elevator reached the seventeenth floor, and Jin Chengyan asked A-Shan to wait outside.
Only when they were alone did Jono truly show a hint of displeasure.
"Can you stop joking about marriage?" She had genuinely thought Jin Chengyan was taking her to the Law Firm to get married, and she had been so nervous. It turned out it was all about Qiao Chen.
"I'm not joking. Everyone knows I'm getting married now, but it seems no one else catches my eye except for you. Why don't you just marry me?"
Jono felt like Jin Chengyan was driving her crazy. A man, without a diamond ring or flowers, repeatedly talking about marriage was really infuriating.
"Jono, this is really the last day. I can help you deal with Qiao Chen's situation, but if you don't agree to me after today, I won't care about you anymore." He said it in a tone that wasn't very serious.
But that nonchalant tone made Jono feel uncomfortable all over; she knew Jin Chengyan meant what he said.
"Once Qiao Chen's matter is settled, we can have a serious talk." She thought of a hundred ways life could be difficult in the future, but she could also choose another path, providing comfort for her father and Qiao Chen.
"Alright." Jin Chengyan smiled confidently; he knew there was nothing he couldn't accomplish. Look, Jono was wavering.
The matter with Qiao Chen was resolved quickly. Lawyer Zheng had another attorney from the Law Firm take over the case, and with Jin Chengyan's interference, the testimonies that had originally been unfavorable to Qiao Chen suddenly turned advantageous.
In the end, the classmate's parents even suggested settling privately. The rapid changes left Jono feeling somewhat unreal.
Jono had also helped Qiao Chen find a decent public high school. When it was time to send him off, Qiao Chen was truly reluctant, but he had no choice but to go, and he even had to stay in the dorms. For Qiao Chen, going to school felt like a nightmare, but his sister was even more terrifying. Weighing his options, he ultimately decided to attend the school.
It seemed that everything had settled down, and Jono should take some time to think about her relationship with Jin Chengyan.
She stepped out of the hospital and took out her phone to call Jin Chengyan. He picked up quickly.
"Mr. Jin..."
"Calling me that feels too formal. You can just use my name or call me Ayan," he replied, sounding quite familiar.
Jono found it difficult to call him "Ayan." "Um... first of all, I want to thank you for all the help you've given me these past few days. If it weren't for you, I would really be at a dead end right now."
"Jono, thanks isn't something you just say. I need something more tangible, like..."
"Marriage, right? I know."
In truth, Jin Chengyan was just teasing Jono; he knew there was a thorn in her heart regarding marriage. However, receiving Jono's call today made him feel that something was off about her, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
At that moment, Alice knocked and entered, holding several newspapers and magazines, which she silently placed in front of Jin Chengyan.
There were two different reports.
Ruan Shengyu, the rising starlet, had signed on for a major film project and was set to collaborate with the male lead Xu Junyang. Reporters had even caught them meeting privately multiple times—was it possible they had fallen in love before filming even began?
In addition, there were a few reports about the rarely seen heir of the Jin Family, Jin Chengyan, bringing a mysterious woman to the Jin Mansion and entering the Law Firm with her. However, the angles of the photos were perfect, only capturing her silhouette.
Not long ago, these two were rumored to be involved with each other, but now they each have new loves.
"I accept."
Jin Chengyan snorted coldly.
On the other end of the line, Jono was taken aback. Was Jin Chengyan's response really just a cold snort to conclude their conversation?
