Many descendants

Su Yan didn't hide anything, "I was engaged once before, but the man broke off the engagement, and now he's come looking for me again."

"Oh? Why don't you move and find a new place to live?" Qin Mo suggested.

Su Yan replied, "That is one way."

“I happen to have a vacant house,” Qin Mo replied.

"..." Su Yan paused, looking out at the street. Kong You, who had left, had returned.

"Why are you helping me?" Come to think of it, Qin Mo had been helping her ever since they first met. She didn't believe in free lunches.

Qin Mo remained silent for a while before replying, "I've been having a dream where there's a girl whose face I can't see clearly... until I saw you, she finally had a face."

Su Yan was speechless. "President Qin, your methods for pursuing girls are so unoriginal!"

Qin Mo: "..."

"However, I promise you. You know where I live, right? You can come and pick me up now."

"Ms. Su, I'm not what you think."

Su Yan hung up the phone.

After experiencing the Kong family's manipulative engagement and subsequent annulment, she was acutely aware of the gap in their social classes. She was also keenly aware that Qin Mo would never be interested in an ordinary woman like her.

Perhaps it was because her appearance resembled his ideal woman, his dream girl, that he developed a misplaced affection for her! Unable to control his inner desires, he treated her as a substitute.

she does not mind!

If this allows her to get closer to her father—the former president of the Great Qin Guild, a firsthand witness to the Storm's Eye incident—and find out the true cause of her sister's death.

Su Yan opened the door, toying with a dagger in her hand, and looked at Kong You, who was peering in through the window.

He yawned, pretending to have just woken up, and said, "Hello, what can I do for you, Young Master Kong?"

Kong You noticed the dagger in her hand; its sharp edge clearly indicated it was a weapon. He immediately composed himself and replied, "Um... I called and knocked on your door, but you didn't answer. I was just checking to see if you were home."

"I'm sleeping, thank you for your concern." Su Yan said indifferently.

Kong Yoo's gaze swept over the dagger again. "The knife is quite dangerous. Be careful not to hurt your hand."

"Oh, I'm used to it," Su Yan said, even twirling her knife.

Kong You took a half step back and continued, "After we parted at the hospital last time, I've been a little worried about you. How are you feeling now?"

“Great! We even went into the purple-level teleportation portal to mine and had a very good harvest,” Su Yan replied.

"Yes, I heard that the Great Qin Guild transported a large amount of resources back from the Purple-level teleportation portal this time."

"Just say what's on your mind. I have a friend coming to pick me up in a bit."

"Friends? What friends? Where are you going?" Kong You pressed.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Su Yan looked at him.

Kong Yoo immediately said anxiously, "We were engaged before and almost got married. Now that your aunt and uncle are gone, of course I want to take good care of you."

“You said it yourself, it was in the past, it’s all in the past now.” Su Yan looked at him. “What do you want? Stop beating around the bush.”

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point. Are you close to the president of the Great Qin Guild?" Kong You stared intently at Su Yan's expression. "He was the one who picked you up when you were discharged from the hospital."

“…Yes, we know each other.” Su Yan did not deny it.

Kong You's expression was somewhat complicated. He hadn't expected that she really had a connection with him. "Could you help me make an introduction? I don't mean anything by it, but my family wants to cooperate with the Great Qin Guild to jointly develop the resources of the interdimensional teleportation portal."

Su Yan understood; they wanted her to act as a middleman. "Just for this?"

Yes. Oh, and I also brought you some gifts in my car, but I wasn't sure if you were there earlier.

"No need," Su Yan interrupted him. "I won't introduce you. Besides, if you want to see him, just turn around."

Qin Mo has arrived.

Su Yan said to him, "I'll pack my luggage and be done in a minute. It seems that Young Master Kong has something to talk to... Brother Qin. There's a chess table under the grape trellis over there, which is relatively quiet."

The "chairman" that was about to be said was changed to the affectionate "Brother Qin," which was also an attempt to use Qin Mo to completely sever ties with Kong You.

Kong You's expression darkened further upon hearing Su Yan's way of addressing Qin Mo.

Qin Mo, however, wore a very pleased expression, clearly liking the title. "Yes, Young Master Kong, this way please."

Kong Yoo could only suppress his discomfort and attend to the important matters first.

……

When Su Yan came out of the house dragging a large suitcase, Kong You had already left.

Qin Mo took the large suitcase from her hands. "I'll take it."

"Thank you, President. I will pay the rent," Su Yan replied.

Qin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly. "Use it and then throw it away."

Su Yan: "..."

Qin Mo casually carried the large suitcase, his tone seemingly joking yet serious, "Are you sure you want to date me?"

Seeing Kong Yoo's resentful expression as she left just now truly pleased him. Since that's the case, no matter what, he won't easily let go of this woman.

Anything that can influence his emotions and attention must be under his control; otherwise, if it is taken away by someone else, it could very well become leverage against him.

This is absolutely unacceptable for a leader.

"Didn't you say you were still calling me 'Ms. Su' on the phone just now? What was the sentence you didn't finish saying?" Su Yan asked.

"It's nothing, it's just what you think," Qin Mo replied.

Su Yan noticed Qin Mo's license plate and suddenly remembered seeing this car when she first completed a system task; it was raining then.

After Qin Mo put his suitcase away, he opened the passenger door and said, "Please."

Su Yan got into the car and fastened her seatbelt. "I want to go buy something."

"Okay, here you go." Qin Mo sat in the driver's seat, took out a black card from his wallet, and stuffed it into Su Yan's palm.

Su Yan was taken aback. "Why did you give me the card?"

Qin Mo started the car and replied, "I may not have that much time to spend with you, so I hope this can make up for it somewhat."

Su Yan's expression softened, and she returned the black card to him, saying, "I don't need it."

She only wanted to use him to get close to Chairman Qin and investigate her sister's affairs. Once the investigation was complete, the relationship would end.

Besides that, I don't want any other involvement, especially financial ones.

After she and Kong Yoo broke off their engagement, Mrs. Kong sent her a thick stack of expense receipts.

This included her engagement ceremony with Gong Yoo, their dates, and even the cost of a cup of milk tea. Although Mrs. Gong said she wouldn't ask her for the money back, she felt heartbroken holding those receipts.

She didn't know if Kong You knew about this, but in the end she still gave the money to Madam Kong.

And Madam Kong accepted it.

From then on, she and the Kong family were even, and she owed them nothing.

Qin Mo then handed the card to Su Yan, saying, "I'm keeping it with you temporarily. The password is 696969."

Su Yan casually stuffed the card into her small handbag. "I'm not responsible if it gets lost."

Seeing that she had no reaction to the password, Qin Mo's smile deepened. "Well, if it's lost, it's lost."
