Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 444 - 212: The Qin Family Also Has Mythical Level Divine Items!_2
She had heard this from her brother, who said Su Yan was just a freeloader and that it would be best to dump him soon and not get too involved with him.
Regarding this, Qin Yao hadn’t believed it at first; she couldn’t believe Su Yan would be such an unprincipled person.
But after a few months of interacting with him, she gradually began to feel it might be possible.
Although Su Yan said they had made their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship official, he was just too passive. During dates, he was like a block of wood; you’d have to nudge him to get a reaction. If you didn’t, he’d just be off to the side playing ’Statues,’ utterly lacking initiative. Such behavior truly made it hard for a girl not to let her imagination run wild.
Meanwhile, when faced with Qin Yao’s deadly question, Su Yan didn’t even pause to think, replying without hesitation, "Yes, I did choose to date you because of your status as the young lady of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm."
"Ah?"
After hearing Su Yan’s straightforward answer, Qin Yao was completely stunned.
She had imagined countless possible responses. She’d thought that either she had misunderstood Su Yan, or he truly was like that—intending to freeload off her from the very beginning. She had assumed that, at the very least, he would lie a little in his response to deceive her naive self.
What she absolutely hadn’t expected was for Su Yan to lay his cards on the table so blatantly, admitting he dated her only because of her status as a wealthy young lady.
What does he mean by that? Has he had enough of freeloading and is now ready to pack up and leave?
At this thought, Qin Yao couldn’t help but panic a little, deeply regretting confronting Su Yan with a question that now put her in such an awkward position.
Just as she was about to compromise with a humbled expression, Su Yan, sitting opposite her, suddenly reached for a piece of fruit and gently brought it to her lips.
Then he said in a gentle tone, "I just tried a piece of this green fruit. It tasted quite sweet. You should like it. Try a piece."
"Ah?"
Qin Yao was caught off guard by Su Yan’s action, feeling a bit at a loss. But under Su Yan’s gaze, she unassertively opened her cherry-like lips and, in a ladylike manner, ate the fruit.
Seeing Qin Yao eat the fruit, Su Yan continued, "Although at first, I dated you because of your status, the truth is, I also quite like you."
"How should I put it?"
"In my eighteen years as a staunchly straight man, you’re the girl I’ve connected with the most, the one who best fits my criteria for a partner. You’re the only one."
"Qin Yao, this is what I truly feel."
After saying this, Su Yan fell silent, just looking quietly into Qin Yao’s eyes, his face full of sincerity.
I’m not hallucinating, am I?
This is Su Yan?
He can actually say such things?
At that moment, after hearing Su Yan’s romantic declaration, Qin Yao was utterly taken aback.
She wondered if she had misheard, her face full of disbelief.
Su Yan, a staunchly straight man, could actually say such romantic things? Has the sun risen from the west? Or is it that... Su Yan is just outwardly a staunchly straight man, but secretly a supreme playboy? Was he just waiting for a beautiful, wealthy, naive girl like her to appear, so he could embark on a precise hunt and then swindle both her heart and her fortune?
As these thoughts swirled in her mind, Qin Yao inexplicably started to entertain more and more outlandish ideas.
But you couldn’t blame her. The main reason was the stark contrast in Su Yan’s behavior before and after, with no gradual transition to ease her into it, making it temporarily difficult for her to accept.
Seeing Qin Yao suddenly lost in thought, even forgetting to swallow the fruit in her mouth, Su Yan couldn’t help but wave his hand in front of her eyes. "Qin Yao?"
"Ah, it’s nothing, nothing."
Qin Yao came to her senses and quickly swallowed the fruit. Then, a blush creeping onto her pretty face, she looked somewhat embarrassed and asked, "Su Yan, was what you just said true...?"
Su Yan replied, somewhat speechless, "Of course, it’s true. Why would I lie to you?"
After hearing this response, Qin Yao’s heart began to fill with joy.
Then she asked again, "So when you said I’m the best fit for your criteria for a partner, does that mean you plan to marry me in the future?"
"What else?" Su Yan retorted with a rhetorical question to make his statement more convincing.
"That’s good then."
Qin Yao was overjoyed inside, barely holding back from laughing out loud. However, mindful of her image, she felt too embarrassed to laugh openly, lest it ruin the ladylike image Su Yan had of her.
Seeing Qin Yao looking so pleased, wanting to laugh but not daring to, Su Yan felt rather speechless, admitting to himself that he couldn’t understand such behavior.
Perhaps... this is just the difference between straight men and women.
Just as Su Yan was thinking this, Qin Yao, sitting opposite him, suddenly produced a small purple pouch from her bosom. She handed it to him with a shy expression, saying, "This is an amulet passed down from our ancestors. My mom said that if I ever got married, I should give this to my other half."
"Are you sure you want to give it to me now?"
Su Yan hesitated to accept the amulet immediately. The implications were too significant; taking it would mean he had to marry Qin Yao.
Although he felt that, barring any unforeseen events, he would most likely marry Qin Yao, who could be certain about the future? According to Qin Yao, this amulet was to be given at the time of marriage. Yet, nothing was settled between them, and Qin Yao was already eager to give it to him.
That’s why he thought she was likely acting on impulse and decided he should let her calm down before she made such a rash decision.
That was what Su Yan was thinking. However, Qin Yao, on the other hand, didn’t see it that way.
Seeing Su Yan hesitate to accept her amulet, she immediately started to overthink. Pursing her lips, a hint of sadness in her tone, she asked, "Su Yan, what do you mean by this? Why won’t you accept my amulet?"
"That’s because..."
Su Yan had only gotten halfway through his explanation when he suddenly fell silent. Without another word, he took the amulet from Qin Yao’s hand, accepting this profound token of commitment.
Actually, he had initially wanted to explain further and urge Qin Yao to reconsider, to prevent any future regrets. But before he could finish, he saw Qin Yao looked on the verge of tears, so he decided against it. He quickly accepted the amulet to avoid the effort of consoling her later.
Seeing Su Yan obediently accept her amulet, Qin Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, her sadness dissipating.
Afterward, she looked into Su Yan’s eyes and earnestly instructed, "Su Yan, you must cherish the amulet I’ve given you and ideally carry it with you every day. Because this amulet truly serves as a protective charm. It can enhance a living being’s fortune. To a certain extent, it can even allow a living being to avoid disaster."
Enhance a living being’s fortune? Allow it to avoid disaster?
Listening to Qin Yao, Su Yan felt skeptical. How could a mere little pouch have so many effects? It could only deceive naive girls.
With this thought, Su Yan curiously examined the small pouch in his hand, wanting to see what was so special about this so-called amulet that made Qin Yao speak of it so reverently.
"Tao?"
Suddenly, Su Yan froze, completely stunned—the kind of stunned that left him utterly speechless.
On the back of the amulet, he saw the character "Tao" embroidered on it.
He had encountered this rare character just once, a few months prior. Moreover, he had seen it on a man’s biological information panel.
Even now, he vividly remembered the man he had seen on a rainy night, carrying a sword but no umbrella.
That was a man named Qin Tao, whose Creature Level had reached the Mythical Level Category!
Qin Tao... Qin Yao... Could it be... they’re family?
At this realization, Su Yan’s mind was thrown into turmoil.
The Qin Family has a Mythical creature! The woman he’s involved with isn’t just rich and beautiful; she’s an incredibly influential scion!
