As she walked through the sea of flowers towards Zhai Zhongshen, Long Yuetian went into a momentary trance.

There was an illusion that she was here on a date.

There was beautiful scenery and an extraordinarily handsome man…

Long Yuetian sat down opposite Zhai Zhongshen. Surprisingly, there was a soft smile on his face today.

“Second Master of the Zhai family, the Long Heng Group feels honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with your Tianxing Group.”

Although she felt rather nervous, on the surface, Long Yuetian still appeared confident and a.s.sertive.

“Mhmm,” Zhai Zhongshen responded rather coldly.

Then, they began to discuss matters on the project. During their discussion, Zhai Zhongshen had a serious expression on his face. He didn’t appear to be distracted by anything and his aura was domineering and majestic.

During this conversation, Long Yuetian began to look down on herself. Zhai Zhongshen was obviously here to discuss business matters. So why was she thinking about other unnecessary and impossible things?

She needed to remove her previous thoughts from her brain!

After reprimanding herself internally, Long Yuetian also turned on her business mode to continue the discussion with Zhai Zhongshen.

After chatting for a while, Long Yuetian felt more relaxed. She summoned her courage and decided to ask: “Second Master of the Zhai family if you don’t mind me asking… Why haven’t you married anyone yet?”

Originally, Long Yuetian did not plan to ask this. After all, this was someone else’s private matter. However, as this question always popped up in her mind, she couldn’t help but ask.

Zhai Zhongshen’s gaze immediately sank. He did not answer the question right away.

Long Yuetian quickly realized she might have asked a question she shouldn’t have asked. And thus, she hurriedly said: “Let’s not talk about it then. Let’s continue discussing business matters.”

However, Zhai Zhongshen replied: “After my brother pa.s.sed away, I just wanted to look after A Sheng. I didn’t want to think about other things.”

Zhai Zhongshen felt guilt toward his brother and Zhai Yunsheng.

Initially, he thought he was the reason why his brother died. This meant he caused his nephew to become an orphan.

And now, despite realizing that he was not involved in his brother’s death, he still could not completely let go of that guilt.

After all, if he was stronger at that time, he would be able to protect his brother. If he was stronger, he could have saved his brother’s life.

Therefore, Zhai Zhongshen prioritized Zhai Yunsheng’s matters over his own.

“You can rest a.s.sured now. Master Sheng is much healthier and with Yiling taking care of him, you don’t have to worry at all,”Long Yuetian said.

“Yiling is the Zhai family’s lucky blessing,” Zhai Zhongshen slowly said.

Because of her appearance, Zhai Yunsheng developed the desire to live.

It was also because of her appearance that Zhai Yunsheng’s condition took a turn for the better.

The peace and joy of the Zhai family today were entirely due to Jian Yiling.

Long Yuetian knew that the Zhai family truly loved Jian Yiling.

Because of their adoration of her, they even treated her friends with extra care and attention.

“In addition to this deal we discussed today, I have another deal to offer. Would you be interested in it?” Zhai Zhongshen asked.

“Of course! I’d be honored to work with the Tianxing Group again. What kind of project is it?” Long Yuetian happily said.

“Marry me,” Zhai Zhongshen replied.

“What did you say?” Long Yuetian stuttered. She suspected she was hallucinating and going crazy.

Yes, she was definitely going crazy!

“Marrying me will be beneficial to both Tianxing Group and Long Heng Group. It will also save us from the trouble of our parents urging us to get married.”

The Second Master of the Zhai family said this with no expression on his face. His expression was the exact same as when he was discussing business with someone else. No personal feelings seemed to be mixed into his words.

Despite hearing this explanation, Long Yuetian was still a little confused. She understood why this was being proposed.
