In the study of the Jin Mansion, Qiao Nuo and Jin Chengyan sat face to face at the table, where two documents lay before them.
After the phone call earlier, Jin Chengyan had brought her here.
Just as she was about to pick up the pen, Jin Chengyan spoke up, "Once you sign this, you won't have a chance to regret it."
It was amusing how he had insisted she sign a few days ago, and now he was trying to stop her just as she was ready to do so.
Qiao Nuo did not loosen her grip on the document. "I never considered backing out after coming here." She understood that what Jin Chengyan was doing for her came with expectations. Since she had nothing to repay him with, she decided to give him four years of her youth in return; that would balance things out.
With swift movements, she signed both documents.
He took the documents from her and signed his name as well.
"I will have these notarized and return them to you in a couple of days," Jin Chengyan said with a smile. "Your father's treatment will be arranged immediately, so you don't need to worry. As for the debts, I will only take on part of them; you can manage the Qiao Family on your own."
It seemed that Jin Chengyan had already made all the necessary preparations and was just waiting for Qiao Nuo's agreement before instructing his subordinates to take action.
However...
"I can manage the Qiao Family myself? The Qiao Family has already gone bankrupt..." Qiao Nuo looked at Jin Chengyan in disbelief. She only knew that after applying for bankruptcy, the Qiao Family had been sold off by the bank. As for who the buyer was, she had no idea. Now, hearing Jin Chengyan say this, it implied that he was the one who had purchased it?
He nodded, confirming Qiao Nuo's suspicion.
However, after receiving affirmation, Qiao Nuo felt an increasing chill behind her. "If I ultimately refuse to sign this agreement with you, what will you do to the Qiao Family?"
Businesspeople never engage in unprofitable ventures, and Jin Chengyan, a man who has reached his position through ruthless means, is no exception. His family background is one thing; his methods of operation are another.
Jin Chengyan gazed deeply at Qiao Nuo but did not answer her question.
"However, if the company's situation does not change within the stipulated time, it cannot escape the fate of being shut down." He was a dictatorial executor; with just a few words, he decided the fate of her and what she cared about.
"I will definitely achieve results that maximize your benefits in this transaction." At this point, Qiao Nuo couldn't help but wonder why Jin Chengyan needed this marriage agreement. "Can I ask you a question?"
"You want to know why I need a married identity, right?"
Qiao Nuo's expression revealed that she felt seen; was there no secret she could keep from him? She nodded, realizing that since he had seen through her, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Jin Chengyan's lips curled slightly, a playful smile appearing on his face. "Guess."
"…… Is Jin Chengyan joking with her?" "I should go check on my father at the hospital first and come back here tomorrow."
But just as she took two steps out, Jin Chengyan suddenly spoke up. "Miss Qiao, there’s something I want to address now to avoid future complications."
Qiao Nuo turned back, waiting for his words. The way he addressed her as "Miss Qiao" made it feel as if they were meeting for the first time.
"Four years is neither long nor short; we have spent a lot of time together. I hope Miss Qiao can recognize her feelings and understand that what we have is merely an agreement. Don't get too emotionally involved." The implication was clear: Qiao Nuo must not develop feelings for Jin Chengyan; otherwise, she would be the one to get hurt in the end!
This was completely different from the previous Jin Chengyan.
He had many facets, and at least the current Qiao Nuo saw many different sides of Jin Chengyan.
This man was very dangerous.
"Mr. Jin, you are overthinking," she said with a charming smile.
Although Jin Chengyan was indeed exceptional, Qiao Nuo felt that she could never fall in love with someone who treated marriage as a game.
"I hope that's the case," Jin Chengyan said meaningfully.
At that moment, in such a situation, Qiao Nuo firmly believed that she would not fall in love with Jin Chengyan.
However, as time passed and circumstances changed, who could predict what would happen next?
