Do You Want to Marry Me?

Chapter 11o: Meeting Jiang Qingchi Again

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

For some reason, but the pictures she saw last night suddenly appeared in her mind, and she was a little frightened.

“Uncomfortable.” Lu An took advantage of the situation. “You’re making me uncomfortable right now.”

With his wife frequently running off and not staying home, it was impossible for him to feel good.

Jin Nian shot him a glare.

Lu An’s lips curved into a smile, and a beam of light illuminated his handsome face, highlighting his distinct features. He seemed to emit a soft glow, as if he were under a gentle filter, making him even more captivating.

Jin Nian was almost mesmerized, but she quickly averted her gaze and focused on driving.

However, his car wasn’t particularly suited for a girl to drive, and Jin Nian was finding it quite unfamiliar.

Although Lu An was angry that she wanted to abandon him again, he still showed concern for her.

“Didn’t you say I owe you a car? What brand are you looking for?”

“I want the same one as before.”

She was accustomed to driving a small car, and piloting a larger one felt quite awkward. Moreover, the smaller car was easier to park and more convenient for getting around.

“Why don’t you go to the hospital later and have your brain checked? I think there might be something wrong with your brain.”

Jin Nian drove attentively, even managing to spare a hand to give his arm a good pinch.

Lu An didn’t dare argue with her, knowing they were on the road and safety was a priority.

After parting ways at the hospital, Jin Nian hurried to the company and, along with her colleagues, went to meet her sponsor.

This company primarily focused on home appliance design, and their product concepts were consistently ahead of their time.

What Jin Nian didn’t anticipate was encountering Jiang Qingchi here.

To her surprise, Jiang Qingchi was also present at the planning meeting.

Upon reflection, Jin Nian deduced the reason.

It was probably connected to animation, which led to Jiang Qingchi’s invitation.

As expected, the brand promptly introduced Jiang Qingchi, citing his friendship with the company’s higher-ups as the reason for his helpful participation.

Since his plagiarism scandal, Jiang Qingchi had largely remained out of the public eye.

As time passed, the controversy gradually faded into obscurity.

After everything calmed down, the plagiarist would act as if nothing had happened and come out to make money again.

This seemed to have become the new normal.

Though Jin Nian no longer followed Jiang Qingchi’s news, meeting him again still left her with a sense of revulsion.

It wasn’t so much about the years she had lost, but more about how he could blatantly plagiarize yet act innocent.

At the same time, her team members knew about her past relationship with Jiang Qingchi, so they asked her softly, “Did you know he would be here?”

“No, I had no idea.”

Fortunately, Jiang Qingchi was a person who managed to keep personal and professional matters separate.

When Jin Nian and he were together, they never appeared in public together, so no one in the room knew that the two had once had such a relationship.

The meeting went on for over two hours before the final plan was eventually settled upon.

However, because it involved animation design, Jin Nian found herself on the defensive, while surprisingly, Jiang Qingchi became the focal point.

As they exited the conference room, Jiang Qingchi suddenly called out to Jin Nian.

“Miss Jin, there are some matters I need to discuss with you further.”

Despite the collaboration between the two parties, and the presence of numerous individuals, he only stopped Jin Nian, and no one thought much of it.

If she could, Jin Nian would have turned and walked away, but as a representative of the company, she had to maintain a distinction between her public and private life.

Reluctantly, she stayed and asked with an expressionless face, “Mr. Jiang, what else do you need to discuss?”

“How have you been these past few days?”

Jiang Qingchi pulled out a chair and sat down again.

Jin Nian suppressed the disgust in her heart and said patiently, “I’ve been well, but it seems unrelated to our work. Mr. Jiang, could you please keep personal matters separate and not waste each other’s time?”

Working overtime on weekends was already vexing.

“Jin Nian, this version of you seems unfamiliar to me.”

“Stop trying to get close to me. We’re just cooperating now. That’s all.”

Jiang Qingchi sighed as if he was hurt.

“I didn’t plagiarize. You don’t trust me, do you?”

Jin Nian couldn’t take it any longer and rolled her eyes. “Whether you plagiarized or not, you know deep down! Do you have no understanding of how you took advantage of the information gap to rework the discarded manuscript?”

“I didn’t copy it. It was just an idea given by a colleague. Moreover, the film is already completed.”

“Whatever you say, you don’t need to explain to me. 1 don’t have time to listen to your soul-searching.”

Jin Nian had no desire to waste any more words with him.

She picked up her bag and turned to leave.

“No matter what, we’ll need to cooperate for the coming days. I hope you can offer me some guidance.”

Jiang Qingchi’s voice came from behind Jin Nian..
