Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian immediately shook her head in rejection . âThereâs no need . âThen, she turned to walk away .
However, Sun Linan tugged at her . âQiao Lian, why not? I promise I will not interfere . Furthermore, I will transfer the team to you . â
Qiao Lian frowned . âOne doesnât deserve a reward for not having done any work . Why should I take anything from you?â
Sun Linan continued to look at her . âBecause whatever belongs to me belongs to you . Why should we draw such clear lines between us?!â
Still looking at her . âWhy are you being so serious now? How much is the team worthââBefore he could even finish his sentence, he saw that Qiao Lianâs expression had clouded over .
In an icy tone, she said, âFirst, to the Qiao Lian you knew long ago, the team indeed would not be worth much . But today, this Qiao Lian does not have that sort of money . â
Sun Linan immediately realized what he had said and that his words had probably hurt her . He said immediately, âQiao Lian, I donât mean that . Iââ
âSecondly, if you gave me the team, what do I have in return for you?â
âI donât need anything in return . I never wanted anything from you,â Sun Linan quickly swore .
Qiao Lian shook her head . âBut you must have a reason for gifting me something . âSun Linanâs lips went dry with nervousness . âI- I only want to be good to you, I want to make you happy . And I donât wish you to suffer hardships . â
It was simple and straightforward .
Qiao Lian was stunned by his words .
She reflected on these words for a while and she finally understood what they meant . She paused for a bit . âSun Tzi, is it because you like me?â
Such an awkward and narcissistic remark . If she had said this in the past, Sun Linan would have given her an arrogant look . But right now, he held a troubled expression for a moment and said, âYes, I like you . â
After he had said that, he quickly added before Qiao Lian could interrupt him, âPlease donât misunderstand, I had never thought of demanding anything from you . I only- only remember that you were Qiao Familyâs pampered little mistress, and you would get whatever you desired . In Suzhou, you lived like a princess . But today, you have to bend to other people and even be subservient⌠and I feel bad for you!âQiao Lianâs heart softened when he said these words .
But he had only seen her hardships as a reporter . He didnât understand that being subservient, being subordinate, was just a part and parcel of an ordinary life .
Unconsciously, her tone softened . âSun Tzi, one does things according to their status . Iâm now a person with nothing, and so I have to start from scratch . I donât think Iâm suffering hardships . But I thank you for your good intentions . â
Sun Linan sighed to hear her say these words . âI donât understand the camaraderie you have in your team, but I saw you with them just then . Is it because you have a close relationship with them that you are reluctant to leave? Then how about you give your teamâs bossâ number, I will buy it from him at a high price! Then, Iâll gift you the club and let you have the absolute say . How about that?â
Qiao Lian shook her head . âThere is no need for you to do this . â
However, Sun Linan took a step towards her and held her hand . âQiao Lian, eight years ago, when your family was in trouble, I was overseas on a holiday . I wasnât there to help you . Let me help you now . â
Qiao Lian was about to speak, when a familiar deep voice suddenly came from not too far away, âThere no need . â
Qiao Lian and Sun Linan froze and turned around sharply . They saw Shen Liangchuan standing quietly on the side, they had no idea how long he had been there .
