Zhou Qian pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "I... I'm still single and have never been married..."

"Huh?" This time it was Ye Lingtian's turn to be surprised. He had never thought that Zhou Qian had never been married! After all, at her age, it was rare for a woman to not have a family. What was the reason that kept her single until now? Ye Lingtian suddenly became very curious.

"Why? Sister Zhou, you're already 32. There are very few unmarried people of this age, whether men or women, right? And your conditions aren't bad either. You're so beautiful, and you're the general manager of a jewelry group. You're both pretty and rich, so is there no one pursuing you?"

Zhou Qian blushed as she listened to Ye Lingtian's praise, but then she pursed her lips in disappointment, her eyes dimming...

Seeing this, Ye Lingtian frowned and looked at Zhou Qian with some confusion.

No? What's going on? I didn't say anything wrong, did I? Why does Zhou Qian look so sad?

Ye Lingtian was confused for a moment, and simply stopped thinking about it.

"I'm sorry, Sister Zhou. I said something I shouldn't have said and made you sad. I apologize..."

Helplessly, Ye Lingtian had no choice but to retreat in order to advance. If this didn't work, he would be at his wit's end. Perhaps it could only be said that Zhou Qian was too wary and didn't want to discuss these sensitive topics with him...

"No...no! You don't have to apologize. This is none of your business. It's actually me..." Zhou Qian's face was still filled with disappointment. After a moment's silence, she slowly exhaled a breath of fresh air and then began to tell Ye Lingtian her story. "I once thought about getting married and having children, and I also hoped for true love. But one time, when I was sixteen, I remember I was still in high school. One afternoon, my friend and I made an appointment to exercise together. We originally just went for a simple run, but halfway through the run, I started to feel uncomfortable. I felt a tightness in my chest and a terrible pain in my heart! My friend was almost scared to tears, and the pain was so severe that I fainted..."

Zhou Qian's expression darkened as she spoke, and she continued in a somewhat lost and hoarse voice, "When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a bed in the hospital's emergency room. The doctor gave me my diagnosis after I woke up, saying that I... that I had heart disease... and warned me that I must maintain a balanced mindset from now on, not engage in high-frequency exercise, and I can't... can't have any more children..."

Hearing this, Ye Lingtian finally understood! Why is such a beautiful woman like Zhou Qian still single? He finally understood that it was because Zhou Qian had a heart disease!

Heart disease is a very troublesome condition. It's not something you can simply manage by staying calm. Strenuous exercise must be avoided. And for women, especially, having children can be a luxury! Heart disease patients experience irregular heartbeats, and pregnancy can compress internal organs, increasing the risk. Childbirth also carries significant risks; a single misstep could result in two deaths.

Therefore, many people will automatically avoid people with heart disease when choosing a partner, because people with heart disease are like porcelain dolls that can easily break if not carefully chosen!

Especially when exercising in bed, if the stimulation is too great, you may die suddenly. It is simply a nightmare for the love and sexual life of men and women!

"That's why I've been single until now. I don't dare to find a boyfriend, let alone get married and have children..."

Zhou Qian smiled bitterly and sighed, then stopped talking and concentrated on driving.

Ye Lingtian was silent for a while. He really didn't know what to say to comfort the other party. He even felt a little guilty. After all, he was the one who brought up this topic first, but it seemed to have brought up the other party's sad memories.

"Sister Zhou! I'm sorry, I spoke too much. I shouldn't have mentioned that..." Ye Lingtian could only lower his head slightly and apologize again, but this time his attitude was much more sincere...

Zhou Qian just chuckled and shook her head upon hearing this. She had actually gotten used to it, having walked alone for so many years. Although her life lacked love and was a little incomplete, she already had a refined life that most people could only dream of, so... she was already very satisfied...

However, a hint of distress occasionally appeared in the corner of Zhou Qian's eyes, but she still accidentally betrayed her...

Ye Lingtian naturally discovered this, but he had no choice now. He had not yet acquired the ability to cure heart disease, so he could only remain silent at this time. He sat in the passenger seat, leaned his head against the window, looked out the window, pursed his lower lip, and quietly acted like a mute.

……

"We're here! Get off..."

With a "creak", the car stopped moving, and Zhou Qian was the first to open the door and get out.

Ye Lingtian had come back to his senses by now. He silently got out of the car and followed Zhou Qian.

Dasheng Jewelry’s group headquarters is located in an office building in the city center. The two quickly reached the headquarters floor by elevator.

"Mr. Zhou, you're back!"

"Well! Xiaolin, go get Xiao Xu over for me, and bring the transaction contract with you. I'm going to sign a big deal with Mr. Ye today..."

"Yes!"

Soon, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a white shirt and tie, with an average appearance, walked over quickly, holding a file bag in his hand...

"Mr. Zhou!"

Xiao Xu greeted his general manager as he saw him. He was the head of the business department at Dasheng Jewelry Cloud District Group Headquarters, responsible for managing contract signing...

"Xiao Xu, please sign a purchase contract with Mr. Ye for the item in the wooden box in his arms. It's a high-quality glass-type imperial green jadeite. It's been appraised and weighs 7,100 grams. I agree to buy it for 160 million. After signing the contract, please find someone to connect with the bank and transfer the money to Mr. Ye as soon as possible." Zhou Qian, with an air of superiority, arranged work for the middle-aged man surnamed Xu.

Ye Lingtian, witnessing this scene, would have felt quite strange. This middle-aged man looked much older than Zhou Qian. Even if he said he was Zhou Qian's uncle, some people would probably believe him. But for such a man to be arranged to be with a woman who looked much younger than him, it looked quite comical...
