Upon hearing this response, Jian Yunnao and Jian Yujie froze.

She went on her own accord?

What was going on here?

Did she forgive Qin Chuan?

Or did she want to rekindle her previous friendship with Qin Chuan?

The look in Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes was obscure and unclear.

Meeting Qin Chuan was different from meeting any other guy because he knew Jian Yiling liked Qin Chuan in her previous life.

And thus, Zhai Yunsheng did not say anything.

As Jian Yiling did not receive a response from Zhai Yunsheng, she began to feel nervous.

He seemed rather upset…

When Jian Yunnao and Jian Yujie saw the situation in front of them, they also became extremely nervous.

Jian Yujie hurriedly asked Jian Yiling: “Yiling, is there a reason why you went to see Qin Chuan?”

“He’s sick,” Jian Yiling responded. Then, she added: “He was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.”

“What?” Jian Yujie exclaimed with surprise.

Qin Chuan had terminal lung cancer?

When did that happen?

Was he going to die soon then?

Zhai Yunsheng narrowed his eyes as he slightly tightened his fists.

“You want to save him?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

“Yep,” Jian Yiling answered as she nodded her head.

He guessed right. She indeed wanted to save Qin Chuan’s life.

Upon hearing this response, Jian Yujie and Jian Yunnao went silent.

Jian Yiling carefully observed Zhai Yunsheng’s expression before she asked: “Are you angry? Or are you jealous? Is there a sour taste in your mouth?”

As she said this, Jian Yiling tugged gently on Zhai Yunsheng’s arm and gestured towards the desserts she made: “I made this dessert for you. It’s very sweet.”

Zhai Yunsheng did not look at the dessert. Instead, his gaze was focused on Jian Yiling as he said: “It’s not sweet enough. It won’t be able to neutralize the sour taste of jealousy.”

“It’s actually very sweet. You should try it,” Jian Yiling said. She was confident in the sweetness of her dessert.

“I don’t need to try it. I’m sure it’s not sweet enough,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng stood up to walk upstairs.

He quickly disappeared from Jian Yiling’s view.

Jian Yiling looked at the dessert before she turned around to ask Jian Yunnao and Jian Yujie: “Is it really not sweet enough?”

Naturally, Jian Yunnao and Jian Yujie understood the meaning of Zhai Yunsheng’s words.

The man was jealous. He was incredibly jealous. This jealousy could not be neutralized by eating sweet desserts.

Jian Yujie patiently explained to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, you have to neutralize his jealousy. These sweet desserts won’t have an effect on him.”

Upon hearing Jian Yujie’s words, Jian Yiling pondered for a moment before she said: “I think I understand.”
