To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Qin Lan was helped up by him, and she naturally grabbed his wrist, looking up at him with deep affection in her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I didn't even have time to change." She looked down at her loungewear and tugged at the hem of her clothes in annoyance.

"No need, besides, it doesn't matter what you wear to me!" Jiang Jinhuan said with a smile.

I don't know what I was thinking about.

Qin Lan's eyes became glazed over, as if she were drunk.

My whole body felt weak and limp.

That's true, she has no secrets from Jiang Jin Huan now.

Wearing any kind of clothes is unnecessary for him.

He seems to prefer his original state, and that's enough for him!

Jiang Jinhuan pushed Qin Lan into the room, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister Lan, I'm here to talk to you about something."

Qin Lan looked up at Jiang Jin Huan: "You speak!"

The nanny brought up two cups of hot tea and then left.

Jiang Jinhuan didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment!

Qin Lan, holding her teacup, glanced at Jiang Jinhuan and asked softly with some concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Jinhuan was silent for a few seconds, then spoke: "Sister Lan, my parents contacted me, wanting me to beg you... hoping you can issue a letter of leniency to reduce Jiang Zhe's sentence."

He found it somewhat laughable after saying that.

Jiang Zhe hit him with his car, and Qin Lan shielded him from the impact, suffering severe injuries to both legs that she has not yet fully recovered from.

Now he's asking Qin Lan to forgive the murderer.

He knew how unreasonable his request was.

But he still said it.

"That's it?" Qin Lan's eyes held a strange smile!

Jiang Jinhuan thought she would be angry, or at least somewhat disappointed.

But when she looked up, her face still held that gentle and doting smile.

"Okay, I promise you," Qin Lan continued.

Jiang Jinhuan was stunned: "Sister Lan, you...you won't reconsider? I have ulterior motives for asking Sister Lan this time!"

"Self-interest?"

"yes!"

Then Jiang Jinhuan recounted in detail how he had taken the Jiang family's shares and all of Jiang Zhe's assets.

"So, I've come here with a purpose this time. I didn't want to take it before, but now I want to compete for it. So, Sister Lan, please think this through carefully, don't let it happen because of me..."

"What are you considering?" Qin Lan placed her teacup on the coffee table, looking at him with a gentle yet firm gaze. "It's rare for you to ask me for a favor, how could I refuse?"

Jiang Jinhuan opened his mouth, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

He knew how good Qin Lan was to him, but every time she treated him so unconditionally, he felt a burden that he couldn't quite explain.

"Sister Lan, you really don't need to—"

"Jin Huan," Qin Lan interrupted him, gently patting the back of his hand, "It's my business if I agree to your request. But..."

Her tone suddenly turned serious. "I can reduce his sentence by two years, but whether he can walk safely to his doorstep when he gets out in two years is another matter entirely."

If he dares to harm you, I'll make him regret it. Jin Huan, I won't allow any dangerous people or things to exist around you! That's my bottom line!

Jiang Jinhuan's fingers stiffened slightly.

He looked at Qin Lan's still gentle face, but saw a fleeting chill in her eyes.

"Sister Lan, you..."

"He almost killed you. I let him go once out of respect for you, but don't expect me to truly forgive him. I might give him a way out for your sake, but that's all I'll do—let him live!"

Qin Lan was surprisingly stubborn at this moment.

Jiang Jin Huan remained silent.

He knew the weight of Qin Lan's words.

She is the head of the Qin family, deeply entrenched in Jiangcheng. If she wanted to cause an accident to someone who had just been released from prison, she would have plenty of ways to do so.

He suddenly felt that he owed this woman more and more.

This woman was willing to risk her life and do dangerous things in order to protect herself and avoid danger.

He himself didn't know how to deal with Qin Lan's intense feelings.

"Sister Lan, thank you." Jiang Jinhuan said sincerely.

Putting everything else aside, he would repay this kindness for the rest of his life.

Unless Qin Lan really doesn't need him anymore.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Qin Lan reached out and stroked his face, her eyes filled with deep affection and tenderness. "If you really want to thank me, don't leave tonight. Stay and talk to me."

That makes the statement seem ambiguous.

Especially now, as Qin Lan spoke, her body rubbed against Jiang Jinhuan's chest.

Jiang Jinhuan could clearly sense the amazing elasticity of that spot.

The fatal allure of a mature woman.

Jiang Jinhuan narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand!

Then Qin Lan let out a gasp and fell backward.

Her leg has just recovered, and walking these few steps is already her limit.

Jiang Jin Huan reached out and pulled the other person into a tight embrace.

His breath sprayed onto the other person's neck, turning their body crimson.

Jiang Jinhuan carried Qin Lan into the adjacent bedroom.

Soon, Qin Lan's suppressed joyful voice came from the bedroom.

From the moment he started serving Qin Lan during her bath, it was only a matter of time before they took that final step. If he, as a man, refused again, he would just be being coy!

The next day at noon, Jiang Jinhuan finally pushed a satiated Qin Lan out of the bedroom.

Qin Lan still had a smile on her lips, but she looked exceptionally radiant, and her skin appeared remarkably supple.

At that moment, the nanny came over and exclaimed upon seeing Qin Lan's radiant complexion, "Madam, you look so beautiful today!"

Qin Lan's cheeks suddenly turned bright red.

Because today, her garden is truly in full bloom!

She gave Jiang Jinhuan a coquettish glare. Yesterday, this guy showed no mercy to women at all, but she liked him very much!

The nanny then said, "Madam, Sir, lunch is ready!"

Qin Lan exclaimed in surprise, realizing that it was already noon.

He immediately blushed deeply!

Jiang Jinhuan laughed and picked up Qin Lan, carrying her to the restaurant.

After lunch, Jiang Jinhuan returned to the Jiang family home.

After receiving an affirmative reply, Jiang's father and mother readily transferred their shares to Jiang Jinhuan, and also transferred the properties under Jiang Zhe's name to Jiang Jinhuan.

One of them is a newly renovated villa.

Jiang Zhe didn't stay there for a single day; now it belongs to Jiang Jinhuan.

More importantly, this villa is located in the same residential complex as Song Qingci's villa.

I don't know why Jiang Zhe bought the villa there.

Jiang Jinhuan completed the house transfer the next day.

I decided to go and take a look at my own villa.

He used to cherish those insignificant family ties, never fighting or grabbing, and was even willing to leave with nothing.

But he now knows that his concessions have not made Jiang Zhe feel guilty; on the contrary, they have emboldened the other party.

He was even willing to run himself over with his car.

This incident has implicated Qin Lan. What if it had been Luo Qingyi instead of Qin Lan?

The thought of Luo Qingyi being hurt because of Jiang Zhe suddenly ignited a fire of anger within him.

At the same time, boundless fear arose.

He absolutely did not want this to happen.

I have repeatedly underestimated Jiang Zhe's bottom line and humanity.

This isn't the first or second time he's wanted to die.

If I pretend to be high-minded again and choose to compromise this time, I believe Jiang Zhe will not be grateful to me.

They'll only feel stupid and become even more aggressive in targeting themselves.

So he has to fight for it this time, otherwise he'll be letting down Qin Lan's legs.
