Chapter 3 Willingly Marrying That Good-for-Nothing_1

Having left Wen Sunan's clinic, Su Xiaoli went straight upstairs to her cousin Cheng Nanshu's hospital room.

"Xiaoli sis."

Lying in the hospital bed, Cheng Nanshu's entire face was pale, "You married a comatose man, did his family give you trouble?"

Sitting down on the chair beside her, Su Xiaoli peeled a banana while smiling and comforting her, "I married to bring good luck to the family, in other words, I am the Qin Family's blessing. Who would dare to bully me?"

Having said that, she handed the banana to Cheng Nanshu, "You focus on recovering. Once Qin Family signs the contract with Su Family, you will be able to have the surgery!"

Upon mentioning the contract, Cheng Nanshu's complexion looked even worse.

She pointed to a small table nearby, "This morning, your sister Su Yaoyao came, bringing that contract and said you need to go find Qin Zimo for a signature…"

Cheng Nanshu let out a troubled sigh, "Su Yaoyao is just deliberately making things difficult for you."

"Qin Zimo is the Qin Family's illegitimate child, who has lived abroad for many years. Right after Qin Yihan had a car accident and became comatose, he swiftly came back to take over Qin Group's assets."

"I've heard others say that Qin Yihan's car accident might have been deliberately orchestrated by Qin Zimo, just to take over the Qin Group from Qin Yihan."

Having finished, she looked at Su Xiaoli with a worried expression, "Xiaoli sis, you are now Qin Yihan's wife, Qin Zimo is basically your enemy…"

"He won't easily let you sign this contract, right?"

"I think he will surely give you trouble."

Su Xiaoli quietly bit her lip.

What Cheng Nanshu said was indeed a problem.

But no matter the problem, it was not as important as treating Cheng Nanshu's illness.

The young girl took a deep breath and picked up the contract, "I'm going to Qin Group now to find Qin Zimo."

No matter if Qin Zimo is a path of swords or a sea of flames, she had come this far; she was determined to break through!

...

Qin International Building.

CEO's office.

The proud and aloof man sat in the executive chair, his gaze light as he looked over the documents on the computer screen.

A silver mask carved with a falcon was on the man's face.

Even though his features were obscured by the mask, his jawline remained cold and arrogant, and his dark eyes were exceptionally sharp and deep.

As he looked at Su Xiaoli's profile on the screen, his gaze finally rested on her tender, lustrous lips.

Looking at her lips, he seemed to be able to feel once again the wonderful, soft sensation of kissing those lips the night before.

It seems that posing as a comatose man was not a perfect decision.

"Sir."

His assistant Bai Cheng came in after knocking on the door, "Someone is here to see you."

Qin Yihan glanced up indifferently, "What are they calling me?"

Bai Cheng flinched under that icy stare, paused for a second, then looked down, "Second Young Master, someone is looking for you."

Qin Yihan then relaxed his brows, "Qin Yihan is comatose now, I am Qin Zimo."

Bai Cheng silently wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I… I will remember that."

"Who is looking for me?"

Taking a deep breath, Bai Cheng cleared his throat, "Second Young Master, your sister-in-law is here to see you."

The man raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Bai Cheng hastily added, "... your wife Su Xiaoli."

Qin Yihan frowned, his gaze cold as he glanced at Bai Cheng, "Let her in."

...

Standing in front of the CEO's office door, Su Xiaoli took a deep breath, her whole body trembling nervously.

Although she had talked tough in front of Cheng Nanshu, when it came time to actually meet this Qin Zimo, she felt timid in her heart.

It was said Qin Zimo was the Qin Family's illegitimate child, shunned by the Qin family for bearing too strong a resemblance to his biological mother, hence wearing a mask all year round.

It was said that years ago, Qin Zimo experienced a fire at the Qin Family, after which his personality drastically changed, becoming twisted and violent.

It was said he regarded Qin Yihan as a thorn in his side and had carefully plotted to harm Qin Yihan into a comatose state.I heard...

Su Xiaoli couldn't help shivering as those rumors fluttered through her mind.

She placed her hand on the doorknob but hesitated to open the door.

Apparently hearing the noise outside, a cold male voice came from within, "Come in."

The low and magnetic voice commanded authority without anger.

Just the sound of that voice was enough to send shivers down Su Xiaoli's spine.

She bit her lip firmly, her hands clutching the folder tight, as she pushed the door open and strode in.

Cold, biting cold.

The low atmospheric pressure in the office almost left Su Xiaoli breathless.

The man sitting in the boss's chair was elegant and arrogant, with unfathomably deep eyes.

He wore a silver mask, and his jawline was sharply defined.

Su Xiaoli's heart pounded; Qin Zimo was just as the rumors described.

One look and it was clear he was deep and difficult in nature, a far cry from her husband Wen Sunan's gentle and jade-like demeanor!

She walked up to him, raised her head bravely to meet his gaze, "Mr. Qin Zimo, hello."

"I'm Su Xiaoli, the one from the Su Family married off to appease Qin Yihan."

The woman's voice was firm yet uncontrollably trembling.

Qin Yihan shifted to a more comfortable position in his chair.

She was very nervous.

He had noticed her legs trembling the moment she walked in.

The man elegantly touched his chin.

Was he that terrifying?

Last night, when this little girl kissed him, she had been quite bold.

With a faint glance at her, the man's lips curved into a slight smile, "Miss Su, do you have business with me?"

"Yes, I do."

Su Xiaoli took a deep breath, placed the folder she had been clutching tightly in her arms onto the desk, and carefully pushed it towards Qin Yihan, "This is the cooperation agreement between the Qin Family and the Su Family."

"The terms were agreed upon beforehand."

"The Qin Family has assured that as soon as I married in, an agreement would be signed with the Su Family."

Qin Yihan glanced at the folder on the desk briefly and spoke coldly, "But these were not my words."

"I have no obligation to pay for what other members of the Qin Family said."

Su Xiaoli bit her lip.

She knew this wouldn't be easy.

Qin Zimo was the very person who caused her husband to become a vegetative patient; how could he possibly agree to her request so easily?

The young girl took another deep breath, smiled, and looked deeply into Qin Yihan's unfathomable eyes, "Second Young Master Qin, I know that collaborating with the Su Family is a trivial matter for you."

"But right now, there are rumors outside claiming that you orchestrated the car accident that turned my husband Qin Yihan into a vegetative patient."

"If you make things difficult for me at this time and others come to know of it, I fear the rumors might become increasingly unfavorable to you, don't you think?"

Qin Yihan narrowed his eyes slightly but said nothing.

Su Xiaoli took a deep breath; since he didn't rebut her, he must have accepted her statement, right?

So the young girl continued with a smile, "Yesterday, I already married Qin Yihan, which means, starting from then, our lives are bound together forever."

"If you could do me this favor, it would be the same as doing him a favor. When the time comes, if anyone claims you're plotting against my husband, I can stand up and defend you."

Qin Yihan's lips curled slightly.

This little girl.

One moment calling him 'my husband,' the next 'bound together for a lifetime.'

Did she understand what her words meant?

The man's hands, with distinct knuckles, gently tapped on the desk, "Are you really willing to marry a useless man like Qin Yihan?"
