Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

"How did you get here?" Qiao Weiwei couldn't help but ask.

He didn't answer, but went up and rang the doorbell.

A few minutes later, the door opened. The middle-aged woman peeked out, her gaze sweeping over Qiao Weiwei outside the door. She greeted her with a smile, "Weiwei's here? And this is...?"

"Big sister, I'm looking for Chen Shiyan," Lin Quan said directly.

"Hehe..." Qiao Weiwei suddenly laughed so hard she bent over.

"Who are you?" the woman asked, her expression turning slightly somber.

Lin Quan briefly explained his relationship with Chen Shiyan.

"Shiyan is my daughter." Zhang Xueli stared at him. "How do you plan to treat her?"

"If she agrees, I'll marry her." He paused, his tone calm.

"Are you worthy?"

"What constitutes a good match?" He didn't get angry; he just waited for the answer.

"Mom, let him in." Chen Shiyan's voice came from inside the house.

Zhang Xueli's expression softened, and she stepped aside.

Lin Quan walked in, his gaze falling on Chen Shiyan on the sofa, and the two sleeping babies in her arms.

He placed the roses on the coffee table and asked softly, "How have you been lately?"

"It's fine." She smiled, but her eyes tightened slightly.

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes." She nodded, then introduced the two people in the room, "This is Lin Quan."

"Auntie, Weiwei." He nodded in greeting.

"What kind of business do you do?" Zhang Xueli asked.

"I own a quarter of Little Chef King Cold Noodles; Da Hong Studio and Da Hong Special Effects Company are both mine." He didn't mention his identity as an unofficial nine-star engineer at Huaxia Industrial Group.

Do you own a house in Haizhou?

"One apartment in Cuizhu Residential Area."

"What about income?" she asked, staring at him, enunciating each word clearly. "I don't want my daughter to suffer."

"My take-home pay is over 20 million a month," Lin Quan casually remarked.

"Did you go to university?" Zhang Xueli asked next.

"Yuzhou University," Lin Quan answered readily.

"Mom—" Chen Shiyan drawled, her tone full of helplessness.

"You guys chat, I'll go cook." Zhang Xueli turned and went into the kitchen, casually dialing her husband Chen Yingjie's number.

Lin Quan took out a ring from his pocket, a slight smile playing on his lips, and handed it over.

"Help me put it on." Chen Shiyan stretched out her hand, her fingertips white and slender, like tender bamboo shoots newly peeled in early spring.

He smoothly slipped it onto her left ring finger.

Qiao Weiwei sat beside her, silent, only staring at Chen Shiyan. Her best friend had just met Lin Quan once, and then willingly poured her whole heart into it. The more Qiao Weiwei thought about it, the more confused she became, unable to make sense of it at all.

Not long after, Chen Yingjie pushed open the door and came in, still holding the car keys in his hand.

"Uncle," Lin Quan greeted him crisply as he stepped forward.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Xueli came out and asked directly, "Did you borrow the money?"

"Is Uncle short of money?" Lin Quan asked.

"My dad's real estate company..." Chen Shiyan had barely started speaking when Chen Yingjie interrupted.

"How much difference?" Lin Quan asked.

"A little over three hundred million." Chen Yingjie didn't mince words.

"Send me your account number," Lin Quan said.

"What account number?" Chen Yingjie was taken aback.

"The company's corporate account," Lin Quan added.

"You...you want to lend me money?" Chen Yingjie was clearly stunned.

"Yes." Lin Quan nodded.

Chen Yingjie provided the bank account number for Chen's Real Estate Company.

Lin Quan took out his phone, dialed the bank's hotline, hung up, and looked up: "Five hundred million, is that enough?"

"Do you really have that much liquid capital?" Chen Yingjie's voice tightened - many bosses with assets of billions can hardly raise a few hundred million in cash.

"Right now, we have over two billion that we can readily access," Lin Quan said calmly.

With 500 million yuan in his account, Chen Yingjie let out a long sigh of relief, his shoulders relaxing slightly.

With his future in-laws won over, Lin Quan felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.

When he returns to Cuizhu Residential Area later, he needs to invite Nie Xiaoyu, Liu Yan, and Liu Qian together to discuss the matter openly and clearly.

As for their relationship with him, he would explain it in detail when it was just him and Chen Shiyan left.

There is no other way now that things have come to this.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation in his entire life.

All the "first times" happened to him, of all things.

When he first got together with Liu Qian, he asked her, "Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

She hesitated to respond. Later, she studied the Yin-Yang True Scripture with Nie Xiaoyu...

Later, when Liu Yan was half-drunk and half-awake, she took the initiative to approach him, and he did not back down.

"Sooner or later, we will fly out of Earth, cross the Milky Way, and walk the path to becoming immortals and gods—why take these things so seriously?"

He shook off the jumble of thoughts in his mind and continued to deal with the questioning from the two elders of the Chen family.

After lunch, the two went out for a walk side by side.

"Shiyan, besides you..." Lin Quan suddenly spoke.

"I knew it all along." She smiled frankly. "The person I want to marry is you."

"Mmm." He pulled his arm around her waist gently.

"Let's go get our marriage certificate," she said.

After receiving the marriage certificate and having dinner at the Chen family's house, Lin Quan returned to Cuizhu Community.

He told Nie Xiaoyu, Liu Yan, and Liu Qian everything about Chen Shiyan.

"Brother Quan, will you abandon us?" Nie Xiaoyu's voice was soft, but trembled slightly.

"No," Lin Quan answered confidently.

"Then... if Chen Shiyan finds out, aren't you afraid she'll be angry?" Liu Yan asked.

"I've already said that," Lin Quan said.

"You told me everything?!" Liu Qian's eyes widened, and she blurted out.

"Mm." Lin Quan nodded.

"She...didn't make a fuss at all?" Liu Qian pressed.

"No." Lin Quan had barely finished speaking when he also started talking about cultivation.

Hearing that there was a real chance to embark on the path to immortality, the three were both surprised and delighted, but they couldn't hide their disbelief for a while.

"I found the Yi Jin Jing, Duan Gu Jing, and Xi Sui Jing in that cliffside stone chamber on Tiantai Mountain..." Lin Quan said.

"Brother Quan, those bottles of stuff we drank last time..." Liu Yan seemed to realize something.

"Four kinds of gene-enhancing drugs." Lin Quan no longer concealed it.

"Brother Quan, is there any more? My dad is getting old," Liu Yan said.

"I'll make another batch for the New Year, six portions for each person. You can decide how to divide them yourselves," Lin Quan replied.

Upon hearing about the effects of the four gene-enhancing drugs, Liu Qian, Liu Yan, and Nie Xiaoyu were both surprised and delighted.

A single longevity drug could extend the lifespan of immediate family members by a full thousand years.

"Brother Quan, I'm going to change my clothes." Liu Yan's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"I'll go too," Liu Qian said with a smile as she stood up.

After acting for a while and practicing the "Yin Yang True Scripture" for a bit, Lin Quan felt refreshed and slept until he naturally woke up.

After finishing his morning exercise, he called Chen Shiyan and then drove straight to Huaxia Industrial Group.

The special supply of cigarettes and alcohol is almost gone, and it will be December in a few days.

As a nine-star engineer—even if he was just an unofficial employee—he received a fixed monthly allowance of four cases of liquor, twenty cartons of cigarettes, and four cans of tea.

He doesn't ask for a salary, but just from these benefits, he earns more than Wang Zhennan.

Upon arriving at the headquarters of Huaxia Industrial Group, he entered the chairman's office with practiced ease.

When Wang Zhennan saw him arrive, he stood up with a smile and said, "Engineer Lin, please have a seat."
