Chapter 671: I Will Watch Over Her
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
In Zhai Yunsheng's office.
Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yubo were sitting opposite each other. They were both seated in front of a French window.
"You're very despicable," Jian Yubo said.
"Heh," Zhai Yunsheng laughed. He did not get angry at this comment. "I was never a good person, to begin with. Furthermore, no one from the Zhai family is a good person. However, you're not a good person either."
"You cajoled her," Jian Yubo said. He was stating a fact.
"Yeah, I did. I admit to that," Zhai Yunsheng replied. "I got engaged to her through despicable means. Furthermore, I also used those means to keep her by my side. I knew that she would say yes to me."
"She feels indebted to you. Furthermore, she knows your health condition. Therefore, she hopes to save you. As a result, she said yes to you."
"And so what?" Zhai Yunsheng asked. He gave Jian Yubo an evil smile: "Do you want to stop me?"
"I can't stop you."
If he could, Jian Yubo would have long ago stopped this from happening.
For him, having a clear mind was sometimes a very painful thing.
He knew the merits and drawbacks. He knew what he could do and what he could not do.
Furthermore, he had no right to interfere with her decision in the first place.
As long as she wanted to do something, he had no other choice but to support her.
Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yubo for a moment. Then, he said: "She wants you to come back."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yubo was silent for a long time.
Then, he replied quietly: "I will watch over her."
He would watch her every step in life.
He would watch her be happy.
For him, that was already enough.
Zhai Yunsheng smiled when he heard this. In other words, Jian Yubo was not leaving this time.
He knew his little rabbit would be incredibly happy to hear this news.
And thus, Zhai Yunsheng invited Jian Yubo to dinner.
Jian Yiling was preparing the meal.
After a moment, Jian Yubo said yes to Zhai Yunsheng's invitation.
Perhaps, deep in his heart, he wanted to get a little closer to that ray of light in his life.
###
In the evening, Jian Yubo arrived at Zhai Yunsheng's apartment.
Jian Yichen and Luo Xun were there already.
As Jian Yichen lived next door, he would basically know anything that happened in Zhai Yunsheng's apartment.
Furthermore, he would frequently come over for food. After all, who wouldn't want free food?
Whenever Yiling cooked, he was never missing from the dinner table.
He would not miss an opportunity to stop Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling from hanging out on their own.
This time around, he also dragged Luo Xun along.
Currently, Jian Yiling was cooking in the kitchen. However, the people in the living room all had their own thoughts.
Jian Yichen was enthusiastically encouraging Luo Xun to help Jian Yiling in the kitchen.
However, Luo Xun decided against that. He knew that Jian Yiling was getting engaged to Zhai Yunsheng. As a result, he did not want to interfere with their relationship.
Luo Xun had quite a good impression of Jian Yiling. However, he only saw Jian Yiling as a little sister. It had nothing to do with romance.
He wanted to protect her. And thus, he did not want to cause her any trouble.
And thus, even though Jian Yichen hinted at him to do something many times, Luo Xun refused to do anything.
Zhai Yunsheng ignored Jian Yichen as well. Regardless of what he did, his little rabbit's heart would not beat rapidly for Luo Xun.
On the other side of the room, Jian Yubo sat there quietly.
Jian Yichen had been boisterous ever since young. He had not changed at all.
However, the noise and excitement did not suit Jian Yubo.
Jian Yichen glanced over at Jian Yubo. He realized that Jian Yubo was as silent as usual. In fact, it was as though he was surrounded or even submerged by an isolated and detached atmosphere.
In his past life, Jian Yichen only knew the reason for Jian Yubo's personality a long time after everything had happened.
However, back then, it was already too late. He couldn't change anything.
This time, everyone was still around. He still had the time and opportunity to change things.

Chapter 672: You're Not Allowed to Bully Him

Editor: Exodus Tales
"Yubo, I have something to speak to you about. Let's go to the balcony to have a talk."
Jian Yubo glanced at Jian Yichen's smiling face. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded his head.
Then, the two of them talked for a while on the balcony. They didn't come back until dinner was served.
When Jian Yichen returned, he was full of smiles when he saw the table filled with colorful and fragrant dishes.
"Yiling, you're the best! You know that I love poached fish!"
However, the thing that made Jian Yichen the happiest was not the fact that the table was filled with delicious food.
Instead, he was just glad that Jian Yubo and Jian Yiling were alive and well. They were still by his side.
Jian Yubo glanced at the dishes placed in front of him. There was minced pork and eggplant, pepper chicken, and sizzling tofu.
All of them were dishes that he enjoyed.
It seemed as though she remembered everything.
Furthermore, Jian Yiling also remembered the foods that Zhai Yunsheng and Luo Xun liked to eat. She took care of everyone.
###
After eating, Jian Yichen tricked Luo Xun into washing the dishes.
Then, he tricked Jian Yubo into bringing Jian Yiling into the study.
As a result, other than him, only Zhai Yunsheng was left in the room.
Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yichen with an amused expression on his face. He already had an idea of what Jian Yichen planned to say.
"Tomorrow is our engagement party. What else do you want to do?" Zhai Yunsheng asked with a relaxed expression on his face.
"So what if you're getting engaged? Yiling can still cancel the engagement at any time," Jian Yichen replied with a fox-like smile on his face.
"Well, everyone in Beijing already knows that I'm getting engaged to the daughter of the Jian family."
"My sister doesn't have to worry about having no one to marry. She doesn't necessarily need men in her life. Furthermore, her value won't decrease just because she canceled an engagement. I don't believe in those things."
"And so, are you determined to pick a bone with me?"
Jian Yichen paused for a moment. He wasn't intentionally trying to make things difficult for Zhai Yunsheng. However, he had to do this.
"Zhai Yunsheng, you're going to die early. You won't be able to give my sister the happiness she deserves."
The words "die early" hit Zhai Yunsheng in his heart.
His face darkened for a moment.
At this moment, Jian Yiling ran out of the study room.
"Yiling... Why are you..."
Jian Yichen raised his head to look at Jian Yubo.
He knew that Jian Yubo had failed to hold Jian Yiling back.
Furthermore, Jian Yiling was not dumb. She knew that something was amiss.
And thus, the words "Brother Yubo" made her escape easily. Jian Yubo simply could not stop Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling stood in front of Zhai Yunsheng and frowned at Jian Yichen: "You're not allowed to bully him! Don't say those things about him!"
"Yiling..." Jian Yichen started. He looked at Jian Yiling with surprise.
"You're not allowed to say those things about him!" Jian Yiling repeated. She began to look angry as her small mouth pursued up.
"Yiling... Even though my words are hard to accept, it's still the truth... I just don't want you to be sad in the future."
Jian Yiling shook her head: "I don't care about the future."
She said this with a firm and determined expression on her face.
The firm and determined expression on Jian Yiling's face made Jian Yichen realize something.
The thing he was worried about the most had finally happened.
She was protecting him. Such words revealed a message to Jian Yichen. Jian Yiling had set her heart on Zhai Yunsheng.
And thus, Jian Yichen exhaled helplessly: "Ah... Okay, I understand."
In the end, Jian Yichen finally gave up.
Initially, he wanted to break them apart before his sister set her heart on Zhai Yunsheng. He didn't want her to be hurt in the future.
However, it appeared as though Jian Yiling was actually in love with Zhai Yunsheng already. It was no longer merely about owing him.
And thus, if this was the case, it was meaningless to split them up. If he did so, his sister would only feel pain.

"Okay, I won't cause trouble again," Jian Yichen replied softly.
Jian Yichen then turned around to look at Zhai Yunsheng. He said: "Zhai Yunsheng, you better take good care of yourself. You must live a long life. Don't you dare make my sister scared or alarmed. Do you understand?"
When Jian Yiling heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
Then, she understood why Jian Yichen had been causing trouble in the first place. It was because he was worried that Zhai Yunsheng's death would bring her a lot of pain.
Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yichen before he replied: " I will."
However, after receiving this response, Jian Yichen immediately warned Zhai Yunsheng: "Furthermore, don't you even think about treating Yiling poorly! If you do things with other women, sooner or later, you will definitely get a heart attack!"
Then, in front of Zhai Yunsheng, Jian Yichen said to Jian Yiling: "Yiling, if you meet another man that makes your heart flutter, don't even hesitate to dump this guy! Regardless of what you do, I will definitely support you!"
Jian Yichen was quite biased.
It was a sin for wolf cubs to look at other women.
However, his sister could do whatever she wanted!
Somehow, these words were incredibly similar to Jian Yujie's words a few days ago.
###
On the day of the engagement party, the Second Master of the Zhai family appeared in front of Jian Yiling for the first time.
The Second Master of the Zhai family was almost one meter and ninety centimeters. In addition, he was also strong and muscular.
Although he wasn't angry, he still appeared to be rather intimidating. He had a powerful aura surrounding him.
As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of the people around him.
Similarly, in the original novel, the Second Master of the Zhai family was a powerful and feared existence.
In fact, he did not merely have an intimidating appearance. What intimidated everyone more was his means of doing things.
He was even more calculating and ruthless than Master Zhai.
And thus, when he walked up to Jian Yiling, his tall appearance formed a stark contrast against Jian Yiling's small and petite frame.
Typically, everyone would feel fear in the first moment they saw the Second Master of the Zhai family. This was even the case for Grandpa Jian. Needless to say, the younger generations were typically even more frightened.
As he stood in front of Jian Yiling, it was as though he was looking down at her from a high position.
"Yiling," the Second Master of the Zhai family started. His voice was rough and low.
"Mhmm," Jian Yiling replied. Surprisingly, her voice was calm and collected.
"In the future, please get along with A Sheng. If he does something wrong, remember to tell me. I will help you beat his ass. Furthermore, once you're engaged, you're part of the Zhai family. I'll be your Uncle Zhai. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, feel free to tell me. I will make sure that they regret being born into this world."
Huh?
He was asking Jian Yiling to call him Uncle Zhai already?
He said that he was going to beat Zhai Yunsheng's ass?
Why was this so different from the expected?
Furthermore, even though his voice was rough and low, why did it sound doting? In fact, it seemed as though the Second Master of the Zhai family was attempting to gain Jian Yiling's favor!
"Mhmm," Jian Yiling replied. She didn't seem surprised at all.
During the conversation with the Second Master of the Zhai family, Jian Yiling merely replied "mhmm" a few times.
Was there a role reversal here?
Then, the Second Master of the Zhai family handed a card to Jian Yiling: "Here's a list of gifts. I don't know what you like. Therefore, I prepared quite a few gifts."
When Jian Yiling opened the card, there was a long list of gifts.
The gifts ranged from jewelry to electronics, to houses and cars, and finally, to bank cheques.
He had prepared every kind of gift for Zhai Yunsheng's fiancee.
However, as there were too many items, he could not bring everything over. Therefore, he gave Jian Yiling a list.

Jian Yiling wanted to refuse the gift. However, Zhai Yunsheng had already accepted the gift for her.
"Don't worry about it. It's yours now."
"There's too much," Jian Yiling replied in a small voice.
A lot of the things on the list were incredibly valuable. Just the property alone was worth a huge sum of money.
"Don't worry about it. Just think of it as a gift from the older generation. There's no reason to refuse a gift from them," Zhai Yunsheng said.
Wen Ruo was also at the scene.
As Wen Cheng and Cai Qinyue were the uncle and aunt of Jian Yiling, they were supposed to be there today.
However, because of the accident, both of them were still hospitalized. As a result, they could not help but be absent from the engagement party.
And thus, only Wen Ruo came over.
When Wen Ruo saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but extend her neck to get a better look.
This was the legendary CEO of the Tianxing Group. In addition, he was the Second Master of the Zhai family. His gift alone was probably worth more than the entire Jian family's fortune.
Furthermore, this was just an initial gift!
It was obvious that the Zhai family was incredibly different from other families in Beijing.
Even Zhu Zimo's family could not be compared to the Zhai family in terms of power and wealth.
Then, the Second Master of the Zhai family walked towards Grandpa Jian and Jian Shuxing.
He took the initiative to shake hands with them.
"Greetings."
Upon being greeted, Grandpa Jian and Jian Shuxing felt incredibly flattered. They did not know how to respond.
In fact, they couldn't afford such respect from the Second Master of the Zhai family.
"You're too kind," Jian Shuxing said hurriedly.
"From now on, we are in-laws. Good fortune has allowed A Sheng to get engaged with a daughter from the Jian family."
Zhai Yunsheng's parents had both passed away. As a result, Zhai Yunsheng's uncle was essentially a fatherly figure for him.
"You're too kind. Master Sheng is an excellent man. He treats Yiling very well."
Although the Jian family knew that Jian Yiling was incredibly talented and capable, they still could not withstand such praise from the Second Master of the Zhai family.
Then, the Second Master of the Zhai family talked to Grandpa Jian and Jian Shuxing for quite some time.
The polite and friendly chatter was not in line with his aura and appearance.
Grandpa Jian and Jian Shuxing were at a complete loss of what to do. They were overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.
Only Master Zhai and Zhai Yunsheng knew about this. The Second Master of the Zhai family was incredibly intimidating in front of outsiders. However, in front of his own family, he was basically a paper tiger.
Then, the Second Master of the Zhai family turned his gaze to Wen Nuan.
"I've heard that you've raised four children?"
"Yes, Yiling has three older brothers," Wen Nuan replied. She introduced her three sons to him, one by one.
Jian Yuncheng and Jian Yunnao were both present. However, Jian Yunmo was not there.
When the Second Master of the Zhai family looked at Jian Yuncheng and Jian Yunnao, he couldn't help but smile.
This was amazing.
Grandma Jian had three sons.
And thus, altogether, there were nine grandchildren in the Jian family.
Out of those, Jian Shuxing's family had four children.
It appeared as though the Jian family had the tradition of having a lot of children.
This was incredibly suitable for the Zhai family.
This was much more useful than money and power to the Zhai family.
Money wasn't important. The Zhai family did not lack money.
Instead, they lacked people!
Furthermore, Jian Yiling studied medicine. She managed to achieve her qualifications at an incredibly young age.
She was perfect for Zhai Yunsheng!
And thus, in his eyes, Jian Yiling was the perfect wife for Zhai Yunsheng.
Other than the actions that he could not trace, there were no other problems with Jian Yiling.

The engagement party progressed smoothly. The Zhai family was incredibly enthusiastic to the Jian family.
This sent a good signal to the Jian family.
In the future, if Jian Yiling married into the Zhai family, she would not be treated badly.
After the engagement party, Jian Yiling went home with Zhai Yunsheng.
When she entered the apartment, Jian Yiling saw Zhai Yunsheng smile.
His smile was rather good-looking.
"This time, you're no longer entering my apartment as my primary care physician."
Instead, she was entering as his fiancee.
Jian Yiling's face blushed when she heard this. Her face was like a small apple that had just ripened.
Upon seeing the blush on Jian Yiling's face, Zhai Yunsheng's smile intensified: "We're already engaged. Are you only becoming shy now? Aren't your reactions a bit slow?"
Then, he continued to tease Jian Yiling: "You know, after we get engaged, our relationship is no longer the same as before? You're my fiancee now. We can..."
"We can reproduce offspring?" Jian Yiling asked.
As a doctor who learned biology well, it was impossible for Jian Yiling to not know about this.
She had enough theoretical knowledge about human anatomy and the reproduction of offspring.
"Cough, cough... Cough cough..." Zhai Yunsheng choked.
Initially, he intended to tease his little rabbit. However, Jian Yiling's words made him choke on his saliva instead!
It seemed as though his little rabbit knew quite a lot of things!
Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling's face. Her face was calm and her eyes were clear.
For a moment, Zhai Yunsheng wanted to put into practice Jian Yiling's words.
However, that thought only lasted in his mind for a moment.
Zhai Yunsheng hurriedly said: "It's quite late. Go and rest. Don't stay up too late. Don't make your body weak."
"Okay."
Then, Jian Yiling turned around and headed into her room.
She did not notice that Zhai Yunsheng was staring at her with heated eyes.
Just now, he had controlled himself.
It was not the right time.
Although he used despicable means to make them engaged, he did not want to use the same methods to make her his.
He wanted to wait for her.
He wanted to wait for her feelings for him to become clearer.
He wanted to wait for her to understand a bit more.
###
The news of Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling's engagement blew up the news circle in Beijing.
Most people's first reaction was: Who is Jian Yiling?
Other than the people who hung out with Zhai Yunsheng, everyone else merely knew that Jian Yiling came from an ordinary family in Hengyuan City. They knew nothing else about her.
[Who is Jian Yiling? How did she become acquainted with Master Sheng?]
[Yeah, how did she manage that? People rarely get to see Zhai Yunsheng.]
[The sparrow became the phoenix. This woman we've never heard about suddenly became the matriarch of the Zhai family.]
Then, everyone's second reaction was: How would Qin Yufan react?
Everyone assumed that Qin Yufan would not give up easily. They were waiting for Qin Yufan to give Jian Yiling a hard time.
After all, in Beijing, the only family that dared to mess with the Zhai family was the Qin family.
Although she was currently being discussed, Qin Yufan was staring at her phone.
She was staring at the chat logs between Jian Yichen and her.
The entire conversation was focused on their kidnapping.
Furthermore, their communication was only focused on business matters.
As he said so himself, he just wanted Qin Yufan to control Qin Chuan's power.
However, even till now, she still did not know what Qin Chuan did to him.
