From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Then what about your plan? Do you not care about that either?”

After all, what Jian Yichen cared about the most was who was going to inherit the Qin family.

“Of course I care about that! However, we’re in a cooperative relationship. We don’t need to be dating right?”

“Aren’t you afraid of me giving up? What if I refuse to fight Qin Chuan?”

Jian Yichen shrugged helplessly: “Well, I am afraid of that. However, I can’t just pretend that I like you. I mean, doing that will affect your entire life no? It’d cause you a lot of unnecessary pain.”

“Your words are really hurtful. Jian Yichen, what am I doing wrong? Why do you not want to be with me?”

Qin Yufan was not someone who could hide her thoughts. Therefore, she did not hold back her words.

Jian Yichen looked at Qin Yufan’s wounded expression. Finally, he felt a little guilty.

The playful and relaxed expression on Jian Yichen’s face became serious as he said: “This has nothing to do with you. If someone else confessed to me, it’d be the same. This lifetime, I will not like women.”

“Then are you going to say that you like men?”

“That’s not what I meant. Look, it’s up to you whether or not you believe me. Either way, I’m telling the truth. I will not get married. I made an oath about this.”

Naturally, Qin Yufan did not believe this. After all, who would make such a boring oath in this day and age?

Other than the empty promises that guys made when they chased after girls, who else would make promises and oaths like this?

However, Jian Yichen did not seem like that kind of person.

“Jian Yichen, if you’re looking for an excuse, then you should look for a better one.”

“I tried to look for a better excuse. I said that I was with Yu Xi. However, you didn’t believe me. I can’t do anything about that, can I?”

Qin Yufan gritted her teeth. Her pride did not allow her tears to flow out of her eyes in front of Jian Yichen. Therefore, she turned around to leave.

As Jian Yichen watched Qin Yufan leave, he left out a sigh.

Ahhh, he wanted Miss Yufan to get over him.

“Oh right, Christmas is around the corner. My uncle got you a present. It’s on the roof of the building.”

“Roof of the building?”

“Yeah, I will take you up later.”

After finishing lunch, Zhai Yunsheng led Jian Yiling upstairs.

On the top of the building, there was a helicopter.

The fuselage of the helicopter was pink.

This helicopter was Zhai Yunsheng’s uncle’s Christmas gift for Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling: …

For some reason, the idea that she liked pink somehow traveled into the Zhai family as well.

However, Jian Yiling exclaimed with a bit of regret in her voice: “I don’t know how to pilot a helicopter.”

Zhai Yunsheng: “It’s okay. I know how to.”

“You do?”

“What? You don’t believe me? I have a helicopter license. In fact, I even have a license for yachts.”

Zhai Yunsheng basically knew how to drive or pilot everything.

After all, he had been incredibly bored in the past few years.

Zhai Yunsheng handed Jian Yiling a helmet and a headset.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you for a ride. My uncle already made an application for today’s route.”

The Second Master of the Zhai family was quite thoughtful. When he decided to give this Christmas gift, he already knew that his nephew would take his niece-in-law out for a ride. Therefore, he applied for a flight permit in advance.

Jian Yiling sat down on the front passenger seat for the helicopter as Zhai Yunsheng got into the seat for the pilot.

Two bodyguards followed them onto the helicopter.

Zhai Yunsheng had not been lying. He indeed knew how to pilot a helicopter.

Based on the pre-applied route, the helicopter ended up flying to the outskirts of Beijing.

Then, the helicopter landed in an empty field.

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling spent the entire afternoon on the outskirts of Beijing.

When it was about to get dark, Zhai Yunsheng got into the helicopter again to fly Jian Yiling back to the roof deck of the building that they lived in.

When the two of them got home, Jian Yiling headed into the kitchen to cook. On the other hand, Zhai Yunsheng entered his study room.

Later that night, Zhai Yunsheng received a call from Master Zhai. As soon as his grandson picked up the call, Master Zhai began to give his grandson a scolding.
