Then, Qin Yufan suggested, “I propose to work together to find out who is behind all of this.”
“I disagree. It’s your business if you choose to suspect me. I have no obligation to prove my innocence.”
After saying this, Zhai Yunsheng turned around to look at Jian Yiling.
However, he was faced with a disappointed look on her face.
If Zhai Yunsheng said no to this, she couldn’t argue with him. After all, it was his choice.
However, it was evident that she wanted Zhai Yunsheng and Qin Chuan’s relationship to become better.
Zhai Yunsheng’s heart felt troubled when he saw this.
He did not know why she wanted him to say yes. However, when he saw the upset look on her small face, he felt annoyed and irritable.
“Okay, okay. I’ll agree to it. Is that okay? Don’t frown.”
Jian Yiling raised her head to look at Zhai Yunsheng. She said softly: “Then, don’t be unhappy, okay?”
“I’m not unhappy.”
Zhai Yunsheng’s answer was not convincing at all.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling hung her head down again. It was obvious that he was upset.
Jian Yiling searched hard in her mind for a solution to this situation.
However, it was as though her head was empty. No solution was found.
“I’m sorry,” Jian Yiling said after a long silence. She apologized to Zhai Yunsheng.
This apology made Zhai Yunsheng’s heart seize up.
“Why are you saying sorry?”
“I made you upset.”
“You don’t need to say sorry to me. Qin Yufan’s right. I am jealous.”
In order for Jian Yiling to not blame herself, Zhai Yunsheng admitted his feelings.
Zhai Yunsheng knew that he was indeed jealous. This was because Jian Yiling did not necessarily love him.
She trusted him and she felt that she owed him. Therefore, when he asked her to be engaged to him, she said yes immediately.
He used despicable means to tie her to his side. Yet he would constantly worry about other men appearing by her side to teach her what was love.
“Huh?” Jian Yiling asked. She hadn’t fully understood his words.
“Jealousy as in… I’m just being petty! Nothing else! Therefore, it’s not your fault! Don’t be upset,” Zhai Yunsheng said.
“Really?”
“Yes!”
After receiving a firm answer, Jian Yiling’s frown finally disappeared from her face.
Then, she moved her hand and took the initiative to hold Zhai Yunsheng’s large palm.
Zhai Yunsheng’s heart trembled for a moment before he grasped back at Jian Yiling’s hand.
Jian Yiling’s intention was to pacify Zhai Yunsheng. As a result, she did not expect him to hold her hand.
Ahhh… She was incredibly embarrassed. After all, Qin Yufan and Qin Chuan were seated across from them.
At this moment, Qin Yufan and Qin Chuan’s feelings were a bit complicated.
Qin Yufan was glad that she was no longer in love with the man in front of her.
Otherwise, watching this scene meant that her heart was getting stabbed with multiple knives.
It wasn’t that Zhai Yunsheng did not like women. Instead, he did not meet the right one.
When he met the right woman, he put down all of his ego.
He would become anxious as soon as he saw her frown.
There was a hint of bitterness in Qin Chuan’s mouth. However, fortunately, it was merely a hint.
His love ended, before it even started.
Therefore, it wasn’t that painful for him. There was just a little regret.
Then, Qin Yufan said: “Have the two of you finished dealing with your internal conflicts? If you have, let’s look into external conflicts.”
As Zhai Yunsheng promised Jian Yiling, he decided to work with the Qin siblings on this matter.
The four of them sat down together and discussed the matter throughout their meal.
Instead of being passive, it was much better to be proactive.
