Chapter 419: Chapter 419 You Will Owe Me For Life
“…”
Qin Youxuan’s hand which was holding the cup tightened, she didn’t know how to reply.
In the end, she didn’t take a single sip of her coffee, and set down the cup, “I haven’t had the chance to thank you. Thanks for helping me conceal the fact that I’m not a blood relative of the Qin family.”
“I didn’t help you, I was just helping myself. By doing this, you will owe me for the rest of your life, and you won’t forget me easily. It makes me feel better this way.” Jin Chenye spoke bluntly, not hiding his intentions at all.
“Ding——”
Qin Youxuan’s hand trembled while stirring her coffee, hit the edge of the cup, and the metal spoon clashed with the porcelain, producing a crisp sound.
It was particularly clear in the quiet coffee shop.
She lifted her head, looked into Jin Chenye’s deep and affectionate eyes, instantly tightening her grip. She avoided his gaze by lowering her eyes.
She bit her lip, “When did you know, that you and I are not biological siblings?”
That was a question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
After the media exposed her true lineage, on the day she rushed to the Qin family’s house, she heard it very clearly outside the study, that Jin Chenye seemed to have known about their non-blood relationship a long time ago.
“Not much earlier than you, on the day I held a press conference to officially take over Qin Group.” Jin Chenye’s eyes flickered, his voice had no undulations.
There was no big difference for him between knowing it earlier or later.
All he knew was that they had already missed each other since she knew his mother was Jin Lan.
Regardless of whether they were siblings or not, he didn’t want to let go.
But obviously, this is not something he could control anymore.
“Why didn’t you tell me then? If you had told me, I wouldn’t have taken actions against Qin Group…”
Qin Youxuan’s hand, clutching the coffee cup, was somewhat tight. She looked up at him.
If he had told her a bit earlier, that they were not siblings, perhaps there would have been a chance, but he didn’t say anything.
Jin Chenye’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “My father made me promise that I could never let you know about your past. His condition for me to take over Qin group, was to take care of you forever… as if you were my sister… I’ve already lost you, why should I make you lose your home too?”
No one understood better than he how important family was to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so upset for many years about her mother’s death.
If possible, he wouldn’t let her know the truth.
“…”
Hearing Qin Mo’s instruction, Qin Youxuan’s eyes filled with tears, which almost escaped.
She raised her hand to cover her face, standing up from the chair and sobbed, “I’m going to the restroom.”
“Xuan…”
Jin Chenye stood up even faster than her, placed his hand on her shoulder. He could see the fog in her eyes, and his fingers kept tightening, “Is it… really… impossible?”
“…”
“Have you fallen in love with him?” Jin Chenye spoke softly, every word seemed to take up all his energy.
He gritted his teeth, “Dan Hanjie.”
“…”
Qin Youxuan’s body stiffened, she reflexively avoided his gaze and lowered her eyes. “I don’t know.”
“He doesn’t even dare to publicly announce your marriage, how can he guarantee your happiness?” Jin Chenye stared at her evasive gaze, his large hand constantly tightening.
“…”
Qin Youxuan frowned, biting her lip and remaining silent.
She didn’t want to discuss Dan Hanjie with Jin Chenye.
What Dan Hanjie did for her, Jin Chenye wouldn’t understand, speaking it out would only hurt people.
“Aren’t you curious why he even needs to get married secretly? Xuan, the Dan Clan is more complex than you imagine. Once it becomes known that you guys are married, his position as the CEO of Dan Group will be in jeopardy. At that time, he will struggle to protect himself, let alone you!”
