Chapter 323 - Qin Chuan’s Gift

Chapter 323: Qin Chuan’s Gift

He had asked Cheng Yi about this. Cheng Yi had told him that Jian Yiling would go to the institution at least once a week. However, she was usually quite busy and sometimes, could not find the time to go there often.
And thus, when he got this chance today, Qin Chuan decided to give the gift he had prepared to Jian Yiling.
“No need,” Jian Yiling replied.
She had already gotten what she wanted.
“This is a small token of my appreciation,” Qin Chuan replied. He had a gentle smile on his lips and his eyes were filled with hope.
Although there was a paper agreement, he still wanted to give her something. He knew that he wasn’t required to give this gift.
However, for him, the promise that Jian Yiling had requested was way too light. It was too light to be compared to his mother’s life.
Qin Chuan held out the hand in his gift. He didn’t withdraw his hand, “Please take the gift.”
He was clearly the one giving Jian Yiling the gift. However, he was also the one who was using a pleading tone.
At this time, most of the people had left the banquet. And thus, there were only a few people who noticed Qin Chuan’s actions. Mo Shiyun was one of them. Her attention had never left Qin Chuan.
Mo Shiyun stood in the exact same place. At this moment, she experienced the feeling of falling from clouds.
It was as if what she had just experienced was merely a mirage.
After a long pause, Jian Yiling reached out to accept the gift.
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind Jian Yiling, Zhai Yunsheng narrowed his eyes. He snorted lightly before he turned to walk away.
Jian Yiling then returned back to Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan.
Jian Shuxing pulled at Jian Yiling’s arm before he said to her in a soft voice: “Yiling, Master Sheng is quite dangerous. Don’t get too close to him in the future okay?”
The tone that Jian Shuxing used was one of negotiation.
His eyes were heavy and his expression was worried.
He didn’t want his daughter to get too close to a man who was full of danger.
Not to mention that his daughter was still so young.
Jian Yiling took a look at Jian Shuxing before she said: “He’s a friend.”
Jian Shuxing frowned. However, he could not bear to contradict his daughter, “Ahh, okay. I won’t object to it then.”
Jian Shuxing knew that he couldn’t be hasty and impatient right now. His daughter no longer trusted him. If pushed her too hard to listen to him at this time, he would only push her further away from him.
He Yan walked over at this time.
She smiled at Jian Yiling before she said: “What did Young Master Qin give you? He only gave you a gift today! Out of everyone, you were the only one who received a gift! It shows that you have a very special place in his heart!”
Before Jian Yiling had the chance to respond, Wen Nuan replied to He Yan instead: “Young Master Qin used to be Jian Yiling’s tutor. The two of them interacted every so often. They’ve known each other for a while. And thus, it’s not strange for him to give her a gift. Please don’t think too much of it.”
Wen Nuan’s voice was soft. However, her words immediately stopped He Yan’s questions.
“Sister-in-law, I’m just asking about it. I don’t mean anything else,” He Yan replied.
“I know you’re just asking. However, we’re still outside. Some of these questions may lead to unnecessary problems. Why don’t we wait until we get home to talk about these matters?”
He Yan smiled: “Sister-in-law, you’re honestly thinking too much. I never said anything. Our Yiling is still young. Who would ever think in such a direction?”
“It’s best if you don’t.”
He Yan had a smile on her face. However, her heart was stone cold.
Why are you pretending? One moment, your daughter is dancing with Master Sheng. And the next, she’s receiving gifts from Young Master Qin.
The little girl was clever.
And you’re saying that she’s still young?
That’s just a disguise to hide her true colors!
In the past, she had really underestimated this little girl!
