About a minute later, an elderly man with white hair, looking around sixty or seventy years old, came out from inside, followed by a well-preserved middle-aged man around forty or fifty. However, his serious face revealed a hint of gravity and worry. It seemed that this was the Mr. Pei the man in black had mentioned.
"Elder Lin, are you sure she really can?" Mr. Pei glanced at Qin Yun, with a bit of a betting attitude.
The white-haired old man called Elder Lin took a deep look at Qin Yun, seemingly looking beyond her surface into deeper places, and said meaningfully, "With her around, your son will be recovering soon."
After speaking, he walked past Qin Yun and entered the elevator.
Qin Yun turned to look at the old man, and for some reason, she vaguely felt that the old man had seen something.
Before she could delve into it, Pei Yan's father had already walked quickly to her and said determinedly, "Miss Qin, I hope you can marry my son."
Qin Yun raised her eyebrows. Although she knew in advance, was it really this straightforward?
It seemed that Pei Yan must indeed be in a serious condition.
Before she could answer, he directly took a pre-prepared contract and a share transfer document from his subordinate, handed them to her, and continued, "As long as you are willing to marry Yan'er, I personally will give you three percent of the Pei Group's shares. If he can wake up, I will give you another two percent. If Yan'er wakes up and you feel you are incompatible and want a divorce, you will get half of Yan'er's fortune, and these gifted shares will count as your premarital property without any changes."
Without even thinking, Qin Yun directly reached out and took the contract and share transfer document, spread her hand toward the man in black, and said, "Pen."
Tsk, does this even need consideration?
Pei Yan might not be great at other things, but in terms of money-making, he was a walking god of wealth.
Moreover, the best way to retaliate against the ever-consuming Pixiu is to spend his money!
Being able to get back at Pei Yan, have endless money to spend, eat all sorts of delicious food without going hungry, is there anything better?
No! There isn't!
Amid the looks of "it figures" from everyone, she swiftly signed and raised her head to ask, "Can I go in and see him?"
Mr. Pei was stunned for two seconds, then nodded.
Just before entering, Qin Yun vaguely recalled that in this world, getting married seemed to require procedures, and she stopped in her tracks and said, "Regarding the other things about the marriage, you should be able to handle it, right? I am available anytime for cooperation."
Not sure how they handled it, they only asked Qin Yun for her ID card and household registration, and quickly got the certificate in hand.
The man in black at the ward door did not stop her either; she opened the door and went inside.
At this time, Pei Yan was lying on the hospital bed, and if not for the white gauze wrapped around his forehead with faint traces of blood seeping through, there was no sign of a car accident at all.
However, Pei Yan, who looked like he was asleep, was actually protesting with the system Little C, very unhappy with the decision from above.
In Little C's sincere words, there was a faint hint of glee, "Your Highness! You only have less than thirty minutes of life left now. If it can't exceed one hour, you will be perpetually banned here. Furthermore, just a little kissing, hugging, and hand-holding will extend your life time. It's not even asking you to sacrifice yourself! Must you resist this much?! If this body completely dies and seals, you won't even have a chance to return to the Heavenly Court!"
"Moreover, just during our conversation, Tang Yun's Highness should have already reached an agreement with your body's father, and it's too late for you to regret it."
Within his sea of consciousness, the trapped soul of little Pei Yan lowered his brows and pressed his thin lips tightly. The thought of having to kiss and hug someone who had watched him countless times and tried to ambush him made him all the more uncomfortable.
Qin Yun was unaware of their exchange. She walked to the bedside, observing the practically unchanged Pei Yan, a gloating glint in her eyes, "Pei Yan, oh Pei Yan, you've met your match today."
"Your Highness, Tang Yun's Highness has entered, it's a great opportunity!" exclaimed Little C excitedly.
"I refuse," Pei Yan said with a cold face, now filled with resistance that wasn't there before.
With a hint of curiosity, Qin Yun observed for a while, talking to herself, "I wonder if plucking a non-original hair can still turn into silver?"
Pei Yan: "..."
Little C cleared its throat with a cheerful system voice, somewhat awkwardly explaining, "Ahem, Your Highness, half of your property has already been given to her, just a hair..."
After speaking, Qin Yun really reached out and plucked a hair from the top of Pei Yan's head.
"Eh? Indeed, it's not the original, it won't turn into silver." Qin Yun looked at the hair in her hand, slightly disappointed.
"Life Value +1"
Even though a minute of life was added, the little figure within Pei Yan's sea of consciousness darkened, emanating a 'do not approach' aura all over.
Little C just finished announcing when it saw Pei Yan like this and exclaimed immediately, "Your Highness, calm down, this isn't your life value increase, a minute is still a life."
Little A's flat voice suddenly rang in Qin Yun's mind, "Hand-holding task triggered, hold hands for one minute, and you'll receive a new starter gift pack for tribulation."
"What do you mean? Hand-holding task? Wasn't it just about marrying him? Why is body contact needed? You didn't say this to me at first!" Qin Yun was stunned for two seconds because of the sudden voice in her mind.
Little A's flat voice sounded: "Due to your excessive excitement, you ignored other things I mentioned. Apart from marrying Pei Yan's Highness, the most important point is, your intimate contact with Pei Yan's Highness can effectively accelerate the tribulation process and complete the task to return to the Heavenly Court."
"Well, good for you, it's a compulsory package!" Qin Yun laughed angrily at Little A's words, "What if I don't do the task?"
"If the task times out, it will result in direct erasure." Little A's flat and unwavering voice was devoid of any fluctuation due to Qin Yun's anger, like a task-only cold robot.
Qin Yun: "..."
She angrily asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Had I known it required sacrificing myself, I'd send you rolling as far as possible!"
"It's too late, you've already signed the contract, and it's already effective."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun was so angry she almost cursed.
"Your methods are interlinked, aren't they! This isn't saving Pei Yan; it's self-saving clearly!"
Originally thinking it was to get back at Pei Yan, she had been excited for half a day, and it turned out she was just sending a lamb to the tiger's mouth, willingly offering herself up to be bullied!
"Tang Yun's Highness, that's incorrect. This is called rational resource utilization, mutual help; you're assisting Pei Yan's Highness's recovery while legally enjoying everything of Pei Yan's Highness, you won't lose." Little A seriously corrected Qin Yun.
"Ha ha, thank you!" Qin Yun coldly laughed once.
"Your Highness, for your safety, please complete the task as soon as possible," Little A calmly reminded.
"Oh? So as long as it's hand-holding, anything will do, right?" Qin Yun stared at Pei Yan for a few seconds, suddenly asking with a cold smile.
Upon hearing this, Little A vaguely felt something was wrong, but still seriously nodded, "That's indeed the case."
Receiving a confirmed answer, Qin Yun, expressionless, grabbed Pei Yan's hand that was being infused with liquid and squeezed hard, and with her action—the blood flowed back.
Pei Yan: "..."
Little A: "..."
Little C: "..."
The ward fell silent at that moment.
