"Ding~ First intimate moment with Pure Love Target~ Pure Love Value +10!"
"Continuous intimacy~ Pure Love Value +1!"
"Pure Love Value +1!"
...
For a moment, panic filled Wan Qingyun's heart, yet the broad, firm chest also brought her a sense of security.
Jiang Junyi carried Wan Qingyun towards the hall, and it was a while before Wan Qingyun reacted, only to hear her say coldly:
"Young Master Jiang, please put me down."
"If you intend to seek pleasure this way, I'd rather die than agree."
At this, Jiang Junyi could feel Wan Qingyun's body trembling slightly, as if she were a little angry.
He knew he couldn't be so presumptuous anymore.
Jiang Junyi placed Wan Qingyun on the soft sofa, knelt down, and said seriously:
"I have no intention of seeking pleasure this way, nor am I playing any kind of joke on you."
He took Wan Qingyun's slender hand and placed it against his cheek:
"I am telling you very seriously, Miss Wan Qingyun, I want to marry you."
Wan Qingyun seemed startled and pulled her hand back.
Jiang Junyi's sincere and resolute words made her momentarily unable to discern what this man was truly up to.
She let out a soft sigh: "You are the Young Master of the Jiang Family in Jiangcheng; I am merely a disabled, blind woman, of no value to you."
"Therefore, Young Master Jiang, please do not speak such words again."
Jiang Junyi felt a headache coming on after hearing Wan Qingyun's words.
Indeed, showing up like this and immediately declaring one's intention to marry would inevitably make people suspect ulterior motives.
He thought for a moment, then reached out and called: "Uncle Wu, bring the item."
Uncle Wu bowed slightly and handed over a document.
Jiang Junyi placed the document in Wan Qingyun's hand and said softly: "Firstly, this is my sincerity."
After gently touching it, Wan Qingyun discovered that this document was in Braille!
"Ding~ Pure Love Target's heart rate slightly accelerated due to your thoughtfulness~ Pure Love Value +10!"
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that this was actually the agency rights for 10% of the Jiang Family's assets, and she would receive a 1% commission from it.
One must know that as the dominant force in Jiangcheng, 10% of the Jiang Family's assets already surpassed most first-rate families.
Even a 1% commission would far exceed what the Wan Family previously had.
The value of this document was self-evident.
"Are you insane?! You want to give me agency over 10% of the Jiang Family's assets?" Wan Qingyun's voice was extremely agitated.
Jiang Junyi gently took Wan Qingyun's soft hand, his face full of sincerity: "Qingyun, actually, you left an imprint in my heart when I was very young."
"These years, I've been busy improving myself, traveling abroad, all so that one day I could shield you from wind and rain..."
"It's just a pity, I was still a little late."
"I didn't expect your experiences these past years to be so difficult, and the former Wan Family also..."
At this point, a somber expression also appeared on Jiang Junyi's face; even though Wan Qingyun couldn't see it, Jiang Junyi still felt that some emotion needed to be properly conveyed.
Just then, Uncle Wu suddenly spoke: "Young Mistress, I watched Young Master grow up; he suffered no less abroad these years."
"From corporate management to border peacekeeping, from product operations to special operations."
"Young Master has both delved into vast finance and fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His only goal is to have enough strength to protect you."
Jiang Junyi suddenly turned to look at Uncle Wu: "Holy crap, Uncle Wu?!"
Uncle Wu glanced at Jiang Junyi, nodded slightly, and gave a thumbs-up: "Young Master, I understand."
"Uncle Wu! Why are you saying all this?" Jiang Junyi feigned anger and immediately continued the act.
Then, he took the opportunity to gently squeeze Wan Qingyun's small hand to earn Pure Love Value, and said softly: "Qingyun, don't listen to Uncle Wu's nonsense; it's not that exaggerated."
"But I did learn a lot abroad."
Wan Qingyun listened to their words and fell silent, not even paying attention to Jiang Junyi's small gestures.
She didn't fully believe Jiang Junyi and Uncle Wu's words; even if it were all true, she couldn't blindly trust someone without reservations.
At this moment, she was pondering a question—if she had the Jiang Family as cover, could she secretly develop her own forces?
Using this power to find the culprits who destroyed the Wan Family one by one! Revenge!
This is an opportunity; I will never let anyone bully me again...
As for marriage...
Heh, from the beginning, I never harbored such hopes.
If he wants to play, then let him.
Thinking this, Wan Qingyun slowly said: "I understand."
Hearing Wan Qingyun agree, Jiang Junyi's eyes lit up, and he tightly clasped Wan Qingyun's jade hands: "I know you might have doubts about my feelings for you now, but it doesn't matter."
He placed Wan Qingyun's small hand over his heart:
"Time will prove my sincerity."
"I will defy my instincts, go against my nature, and love you forever."
Hearing Jiang Junyi's fervent and explicit confession, even Wan Qingyun, who only had thoughts of using him, felt two blushes spread across her face. She gently pushed Jiang Junyi.
"You... you're too close..."
Jiang Junyi looked at the distance between himself and Wan Qingyun; it seemed his face was almost touching hers.
He quickly coughed twice, then leaned back: "What does Qingyun usually do? I want to understand you."
Wan Qingyun heard this and mused, if she was to use him... she couldn't always refuse...
She understood the principle of giving a stick and then a carrot.
So, Wan Qingyun also answered Jiang Junyi's question: "Reading."
"Can I go to your study and have a look?" Jiang Junyi seized the opportunity to press his advantage.
Wan Qingyun nodded gently: "You may. Young Master Jiang, please move my wheelchair."
Wheelchair? How can I get close to you with a wheelchair?
Jiang Junyi gave Uncle Wu a look, and Uncle Wu immediately understood.
He flashed over to the wheelchair, and with a swift motion.
"Crash!"
"Ah~ Qingyun, your wheelchair broke during the struggle just now..."
Wan Qingyun's mouth twitched slightly; she seemed to have heard her wheelchair break into pieces:
"It's alright, I have a spare..."
Jiang Junyi, however, interrupted: "Hey~ Now that we're family, some things I can do!"
A bad premonition rose in Wan Qingyun's heart, and she quickly tried to speak: "I don't need... Ah!"
Jiang Junyi once again scooped Wan Qingyun up in a princess carry.
"Ding~ Continuous intimacy~ Pure Love Value +1+1+1!"
"Let's go, I'll take you to the study." Jiang Junyi's words echoed in Wan Qingyun's ears, and the warm breath mixed with them made her ears turn red.
However, thankfully, besides picking her up, Jiang Junyi didn't make any impolite gestures, which put her slightly at ease.
Guided by Wan Qingyun, Jiang Junyi arrived at the study and gently placed her on the wooden chair in front of the desk.
The study was simple, and the types of books displayed were varied.
"This is where I usually stay. It's very boring, isn't it?" Wan Qingyun said self-deprecatingly.
Jiang Junyi was silent for a moment. Such a small space, yet it was where the young girl in front of him had spent most of her life.
Even so, she had grown and survived resiliently, striving for a certain goal.
Jiang Junyi smiled: "I won't say I also like this atmosphere. I know this is the place that has confined you for half your life."
"I have no right to comfort you with what I consider a tranquil atmosphere, saying this is a nice place."
He knelt beside Wan Qingyun and gently took her hand:
"I only hope that my arrival can become a ray of light in your dark world."
With that, Jiang Junyi chuckled twice, scratching his head: "Does that sound a bit narcissistic?"
Wan Qingyun covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "It seems so."
"Thump!"
Jiang Junyi's heart pounded violently.
