103: Chapter 103 Liu Ruyan's Helplessness

Qin Yi opened the system panel and started checking Liu Ruyan's information:

[Name: Liu Ruyan]

[Gender: Female]

[Height: 167cm]

[Weight: 55kg]

[Appearance: 90]

[Realm: Peak Innate Realm]

[Affection: 10]

[Fate: Heroine of "After a One-Night Stand, I Was Entangled by a Female CEO"; Supporting Character in "The True Young Master Reborn: Returning to the City with Celestial Cultivation"]

Qin Yi's gaze swept across it quickly, and when he saw the second script in her fate, a flash of intense interest crossed his eyes.

"The True Young Master Reborn: Returning to the City with Celestial Cultivation"? Interesting.

According to the tropes of urban power-fantasy novels from his past life, the Child of Destiny in this script must be the true young master of the Liu family who was lost outside; otherwise, with Liu Ruyan's appearance, it would be impossible for her to be just a supporting character.

More importantly, the words "returning with Celestial Cultivation" carried an enormous amount of information.

Following the tropes of novels from his past life, this protagonist either returned after failing a tribulation in the cultivation world or was reborn from the future. Either way, it meant the other party possessed information currently unknown to Qin Yi—secret cultivation techniques or the major trends of the coming decades.

Once this matter was resolved, he would have Xiao Ai investigate this true young master of the Liu family.

Having decided, Qin Yi silently closed the system panel.

Standing opposite Qin Yi, Liu Ruyan saw him silent, staring at her with deep eyes. Her heart immediately began to pound, and she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

She was beating a frantic drum in her heart: "What is he thinking about? Is he considering what means to use to crush me to death? Or is he thinking about something else?"

Liu Ruyan forcefully suppressed the wild thoughts in her mind, squeezed a respectful and friendly smile onto her lips, and took the initiative to break the silence:

"Young Master Qin, I've long heard of your name. I am Liu Ruyan, President of Liu Group. I know Su Chen is your cousin. However, today's matter is a private affair between Su Chen and me. I wonder if Young Master Qin could do me a favor?"

Her tone was humble, and her posture was extremely low, completely devoid of the sharp, decisive, and uncompromising demeanor she usually displayed in the business world.

This scene fell into the eyes of the four bodyguards behind her and the driver in the car, leaving them dumbfounded.

They had followed Liu Ruyan for many years and knew this young lady's temper best.

She was famous for her ruthlessness and decisiveness in the business world; usually, bosses worth tens of billions had to be respectful when they saw her. When had they ever seen her be so respectful to a man younger than herself?

Sitting in the car, Su Chen watched this scene, his face full of admiration, and he straightened his back a bit.

"As expected of Brother Yi! This presence! This aura! He suppressed this crazy woman without even speaking! In the future, I must learn well from Brother Yi; if I could have even half of his momentum, that would be enough!"

Qin Yi raised his eyes, glanced lightly at Liu Ruyan, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable power: "Miss Liu, I have roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter. My cousin lost his moral standing after drinking and took your innocence; it is indeed his fault. Whether you want money or resources, our Qin Family can compensate you; we will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

He changed the subject, his tone slightly heavier: "But you, without saying a word, directly sent people to kidnap him—isn't that a bit too much?"

Liu Ruyan hurriedly explained, her tone carrying a bit of grievance and firmness: "Young Master Qin, you cannot say it like that. I, Liu Ruyan, am not a casual woman. Once I have set my heart on someone in this life, I will not change."

"Su Chen took my first time; I want him to take responsibility for me and marry me as his wife. Isn't that only natural? I originally tried to discuss it with him nicely, but he refused to cooperate no matter what. I was forced to resort to this desperate measure. I swear, I definitely did not harm him in the slightest."

"Bullshit!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Chen pushed open the car door, jumped down furiously, pointed at Liu Ruyan, and loudly refuted: "Brother Yi, don't listen to her nonsense! What do you mean I didn't cooperate? Why should I cooperate with her?!"

He walked to Qin Yi's side and said with a wronged expression: "I just carefully recalled it. I was drunk last night and accidentally bumped into her. Who knew that as soon as she saw me, she dragged me into the room! She started stripping my clothes the moment we entered! I only realized later that she had been drugged with aphrodisiacs! I actually saved her! And yet, she repays kindness with ingratitude, coming here today to force me to register for marriage and lock me by her side for a lifetime! Where is the logic in that?!"

Once these words were out, the students and passersby watching from afar instantly exploded, whispering to each other, their eyes filled with "envy, jealousy, and hatred" as they looked at Su Chen:

"Holy crap! Is this guy speaking human language?"

"He got a freebie on the first time of the Liu Group's young lady, and she's actively coming to him to get married, yet he's actually unhappy about it?"

"If it were me, I would have knelt on the spot and called her wife! This is truly being in bliss without knowing it!"

"What a waste of heaven's gifts! Pure, unadulterated waste!"

Listening to the surrounding discussion and seeing Su Chen's "I've been wronged" expression, Liu Ruyan's cheeks flushed red with anger. She glared fiercely at Su Chen, her eyes almost spitting fire.

Su Chen was not intimidated at all, sticking out his neck and glaring back, his eyes full of the arrogance of "What can you do to me?"

The two stared at each other across Qin Yi, the air filled with a thick smell of gunpowder.

Watching this bickering pair, Qin Yi couldn't help but chuckle. He shook his head and looked at Liu Ruyan: "Miss Liu, since things have reached this point, what else do you have to say? You can't really force him to register for marriage with you, right?"

Liu Ruyan bit her lip, suppressing the anger and grievance in her heart, knowing that if she didn't tell the truth today, she would definitely not get past Qin Yi.

She raised her head, looking at Su Chen with complex eyes, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "Young Master Qin, the reason I insist on marrying Su Chen is not a momentary impulse; there is a reason for it."

"Oh?" Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, becoming interested, "Tell me. If the reason is sufficient, I can choose not to intervene."

Liu Ruyan knew this was the last chance Qin Yi was giving her.

She took a deep breath, turned her head, and looked straight at the arrogant Su Chen, her voice carrying a trace of imperceptible trembling:

"Su Chen, have you really forgotten? Ten years ago, you promised that you would marry me when you grew up."

The arrogance on Su Chen's face instantly froze, and he was completely stunned. He scratched his head and said with a blank expression: "Huh? What promise? Ten years ago? Liu Ruyan, are you sick? We just met yesterday, right?"

Looking at his blank expression, completely devoid of any memory, Liu Ruyan's heart ached sharply, and her eyes instantly turned red.

She clenched her fists, her voice carrying a suppressed sob:

"It seems you really have forgotten everything. But it doesn't matter. Today, I will tell you everything so you can properly recall the promise you made to me."
