Saying this, she lowered her head with a guilty expression.

Yang Lan almost burst into tears. Yes, this was her daughter.

“Silly child, your illness almost scared Mom to death… You mentioned that Shen Wan wants to…”

“Mom! I wasn’t thinking straight. I was just talking nonsense. You really believed it?” Shen Yan interrupted her, her voice sweet, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of reluctance and impatience.

Yang Lan breathed a sigh of relief. “I didn’t think she had the guts…”

Shen Yan buried her face in her mother’s embrace. It seemed like a spoiled gesture, but there was a layer of frost in her eyes.

In the end, Yang Lan still didn’t believe her…

“You’re already an adult but you still act like a child!”

“Mom,” Shen Yan spoke softly, “I like Qi Ziehen.”

“What?” Yang Lan was surprised.

Shen Yan lifted her head from her mother’s embrace, her words deliberate, “I said, I like Brother Qi. Can you help me marry him?”

Her daughter had a special connection with the Qi family. She frequently referred to him as “Brother Qi” informally. While Yang Lan had suspected as much, her daughter’s candid and direct confession was unprecedented. Naturally, Yang Lan was taken aback, “Why are you suddenly bringing this up? You mentioned before that Shen Wan was trying to seduce Qi Ziehen. Were you provoked and that’s why…”

“Mom, I’ve liked Brother Qi for a long time. It’s not a sudden impulse, and I’m not trying to spite anyone. In this lifetime, I will only marry him!”

“You…” Yang Lan looked at her daughter, who had grown up as her cherished child. Suddenly, she felt her daughter appear like a stranger to her. She even said things like “I will only marry him.” How deep was this feeling?

“Mom, you have a good relationship with Aunt Qi. Can you help me?”

Yang Lan calmed down instantly. “How do you want me to help?”

“Both the Shen and Qi families are among the top families in Ning City, and there are many business collaborations and entanglements. If we can join forces, Dad and Grandpa will definitely not object.”

“Are you suggesting a marriage alliance?”

Shen Yan nodded, her eyes sparkling. “Is it possible?”

Yang Lan looked at her daughter with hopeful eyes. It seemed that she really liked the Qi family’s young man, but…

“Does Qi Ziehen have the same feelings for you?”

Shen Yan’s gaze flickered, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Yang Lan frowned, and a disapproving expression gradually appeared in her eyes. She herself had entered into a marriage alliance with Shen Chunjiang without having any feelings for each other. Later, she slowly fell in love, only to find out that he had several affairs outside.

Loving someone who doesn’t love you back, and even having the person betray you, that kind of heart-wrenching pain, Yang Lan didn’t want her daughter to go through it again.

It was too painful.

Shen Yan said, “Although Brother Qi doesn’t like me, he also doesn’t like any other women. Feelings can be nurtured over time. As long as we get married, as time goes by, I will definitely make him fall in love with me. Mom, I’ve never liked a man like this before. Can you help me, please?”

Yang Lan looked conflicted.

“Mom, please… pretty please?”

“Alright, alright! I promise you.” She sighed softly, her eyes filled with both concern and compassion. “Xiao Yan, I hope you can be happy.”

“I will. I will definitely become the happiest woman in the world, as long as I can marry Brother Qi…”

Shen Wan, unknowingly, had set things in motion with her actions, which ultimately accelerated the union of the Shen and Qi families.

At this moment, she was in her room, practicing plank exercises with the door closed.

Sweat the size of beans trickled down from her temples, flowed along her neck, and finally seeped into her cotton training clothes.

Her arms were trembling slightly from supporting her body’s weight for a long time, but she still clenched her teeth and kept her body straight.

In front of her was a stopwatch accurate to the millisecond. Three minutes had already passed, and she only needed to hold on for two more minutes to succeed.

“Phew…”

Time’s up! Shen Wan took a deep breath, stood up straight, and stretched her legs.

After resting for a minute, she began doing sit-ups.

Combining planks with sit-ups, she completed four sets in a row before considering it a true finish.

She took a sip of water and went to look at the cactus on the windowsill. It had been a few months, but why did it seem like it hadn’t grown at all?

After showering and coming out with her hair still damp, her phone rang.

“Hello.”

“Miss Shen, it’s me, Yi Hong. The acquisition of Mingya is a done deal!” “Done?” Shen Wan’s initial reaction was not excitement but surprise. It had only been a few days, and they had already reached an agreement? Not to mention that Shen Ru, a formidable competitor, was still in the game. “The other company that was competing with us suddenly announced their withdrawal for some unknown reason. Originally, Mingda wanted to raise the price, but when they saw the other side backing out, they were afraid we might follow suit. They quickly agreed, and in the end, we acquired it at a price three percent lower than the original offer.” Yi Hong’s voice couldn’t hide his excitement..
