Chapter 340: Chapter 341 Treated as Brom

”Is that what you said?”

Looking at Meng Yao’s skeptical face, Qin Tian leaned closer and said, ”If I manage to open it, how about you give me a kiss to cheer me on?”

”You...”

”If you don’t agree, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything. I won’t open it either, you decide.”

Knowing Meng Yao’s reaction, Qin Tian quickly tilted his head, his tone laced with a hint of threat as he spoke.

”You really are...”

Meng Yao pursed her lips at Qin Tian, ”You really can make any request, huh?”

”That’s right, who says I’m not shameless? Hey, don’t look at me with those mournful eyes. I didn’t say you had to like me, I just need a supportive kiss—nothing more. Isn’t that reasonable? Look at foreigners, when they meet, isn’t it usually with a kiss...”

”Alright, alright, it’s a deal.”

As soon as Qin Tian finished, Meng Yao seemed to make up her mind and said, ”But let me be clear, if you can’t open the safe when the time comes, you have to... kneel before me and say ’Sis, I was wrong’ three times. Deal?”

”Hiss...”

Qin Tian hadn’t expected Meng Yao to come up with such a bizarre condition and couldn’t help but take another look at her before replying, ”Alright, that’s settled then.”

Grabbing another bite to eat, Qin Tian continued, ”So, the first matter is settled, what’s the second matter?”

As soon as he mentioned the second matter, Meng Yao’s face turned crimson.

Qin Tian was surprised and thought, What’s happening here, this girl is very abnormal today, even the venerable Officer Meng is getting shy before even speaking?

”Come on, you’re not thinking of having me pretend to be your boyfriend, are you?”

Qin Tian felt like he had seen this scenario before and had a bad feeling about it.

No sooner had Qin Tian spoken than Meng Yao suddenly widened her eyes at him, ”How did you know?”

Damn, always being used as a shield by women?

Qin Tian was speechless, thinking to himself that he’s been used as a shield once by this woman, and once by that woman; am I really being treated like a tool here?

”What’s wrong? Not a problem, right?”

Seeing Qin Tian’s hesitant looks, Meng Yao quickly asked.

”There is a problem.”

Qin Tian looked at Meng Yao irritably and said, ”I’ve been dragged by girls to pretend to be their boyfriend many times before, and now I have boyfriend-phobia...”

”Hey, you agreed to help me, you can’t go back on your word!” Seeing Qin Tian’s initial rejection, Meng Yao instantly got all huffy.

”Oh dear, which guy is chasing you? How about this? You tell me who he is, and I don’t need you to get involved, I’ll go beat him up until he doesn’t dare to have any improper thoughts about you. How does that sound? Pretending to be your boyfriend seems totally unnecessary.”

Qin Tian felt that he was becoming somewhat resentful of being used back and forth by beauties.

”Do you think it’s that simple? If it were that simple, would I need you to step in? Wouldn’t I have handled it myself?” Meng Yao said, speechless.

Qin Tian was taken aback and thought that made sense. Given Meng Yao’s temperament and capabilities, it seemed like no one dared to force her. Moreover, she was the ***** of Zhonghai City, did any ordinary man dare to pursue her?

Seeing Meng Yao’s beautiful attire today, Qin Tian became even more puzzled. If it wasn’t for a blind date or any party, then why was Meng Yao dressed so formally?

Meng Yao pursed her lips, her expression somewhat sad, and said, ”You find it strange to see me dressed like this today, don’t you?”

Meng Yao glanced at Qin Tian and said, ”Actually, it’s because of my grandmother. My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, and it’s terminal... probably only about half a year left... so...”

”Grandma has always loved me dearly. All along, her hope has been to see me find a boyfriend, get married, she wants to hold a grandchild... So now, her greatest wish is to see me bringing a boyfriend to visit her, to give her some peace of mind...”

As she spoke, Meng Yao, who was always strong, now had tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Tian knew for sure that Meng Yao wasn’t lying and immediately tried to console her, ”Hey, don’t be too sad, maybe your grandma will be okay.”

Originally wanting to crack a joke, Qin Tian, upon seeing Meng Yao’s sorrow, suddenly wasn’t in the mood for jokes.

”Of course, I hope my grandma will be okay... but, not only has my family visited every famous hospital in the country with grandma, we even took her to Europe and the United States a few times. However, doctors both domestically and internationally have basically given the same prognosis — it is indeed terminal, late-stage liver cancer... so...”

Seeing Meng Yao starting to sob, Qin Tian immediately handed her a napkin, ”Nothing is final yet, isn’t there still half a year? We can still seek medical advice during this half year. I have heard of many cases where patients in the late stages of cancer miraculously recovered. Maybe your grandma could also create a miracle.”

”Thank you, Qin Tian.”

Hearing Qin Tian’s comforting words, Meng Yao looked at Qin Tian with tearful eyes, feeling for the first time that Qin Tian indeed had a warm side.

”So, this favor...”

”I’ll help, I will definitely help with this favor, and I’ll help till the end.”

Facing Meng Yao’s pleading gaze, Qin Tian spoke decisively, ”Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do. Plus, I know a bit of medical knowledge, so I could also check on your grandma when we visit.”

Hearing this, Meng Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, ”Okay, let’s quickly finish dinner and head to the mall to buy some things. Tonight, you come home with me for dinner.”

”Okay.”

After they had lunch, the two went to the busiest department store in Jinshan District and spent a few thousand yuan on tonics and gifts. Originally, Meng Yao was supposed to pay, but Qin Tian insisted on paying, saying that since they were friends, it was normal for him to buy gifts as he was visiting a sick grandma, showing his sincerity.

Meng Yao didn’t say much, only while shopping with Qin Tian, she occasionally stole glances at him, finding him more and more appealing. Her impression of Qin Tian had changed drastically from before.

Moreover, while shopping with Qin Tian, she even felt a sense of self-gratitude and pleasure, a feeling Meng Yao had never experienced before, which she also found strange.

They finished shopping just after three o’clock, then the two of them went to a nearby café to drink coffee. After all, returning home too early would make both Meng Yao and Qin Tian feel uncomfortable, so they tacitly chose to wait outside until it got dark.

At six in the evening, led by Meng Yao, Qin Tian, carrying bags of items, arrived at the gate of Meng Yao’s house.
