Seeing that Wu Tian had said so, Chen Hehai naturally didn't say much more.
He stood up and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer. Let's have a drink together again when we have time!"
Wu Tian smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem."
As the two were about to leave, Chen Qinglian, who had been hesitating all along, finally couldn't hold back.
She said with a blush, "Um... please wait a moment."
Wu Tian stopped and looked back at her, asking, "What is it? Is there anything else?"
Chen Qinglian seemed to find it difficult to speak.
After some hesitation, she finally said with a somewhat shaky voice, "You... didn't you forget something?"
"Forgot something?" Wu Tian was a bit puzzled. "Forgot what? I don't think I forgot anything!"
Hearing this, Chen Qinglian's face turned even hotter, and she became anxious.
She gritted her teeth and said, "It's like this, didn't I tell you? If you helped us, then I... I would..."
Wu Tian finally understood.
Chen Qinglian meant that she had said before that she would repay him with herself after the matter was settled, so now she intended to repay his kindness.
However, Wu Tian had no such intention, so he just smiled and said, "No, no, no, let's forget about that kind of thing."
"I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously?"
"Joking?" Chen Qinglian felt her head buzz upon hearing this.
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Yes, of course, it was a joke. I'm not like Yang Zhi, how could I agree to such terms?"
"So don't burden yourself, let's consider this matter settled."
Originally, Wu Tian thought that Chen Qinglian would be happy to hear this news, after all, Chen Qinglian didn't like such transactions!
But he didn't expect Chen Qinglian to be on the verge of tears.
This scene startled Wu Tian.
He quickly said, "Hey, what are you doing? Why are you crying for no reason?"
Chen Qinglian was also startled.
She quickly wiped her face and said, "Am I crying? No, I... my eyes were just uncomfortable just now."
After a moment of panic, she lowered her head again, her fingers tightly intertwined, and said somewhat shyly, "Then let me ask you, what if... what if it has nothing to do with the conditions?"
"What did you say?" Wu Tian didn't understand Chen Qinglian's meaning. "What do you mean, nothing to do with the conditions?"
Chen Qinglian felt her heart pounding out of her chest.
She stammered for a moment, then suddenly looked up into Wu Tian's eyes, her beautiful eyes full of expectation: "What if I want to marry you?"
"Ah?" Hearing this, Wu Tian and Chen Hehai exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Hehai was the first to react.
He patted Wu Tian's shoulder and laughed heartily, "Wu Tian, it seems my daughter has taken a liking to you!"
"This..." The sudden confession made Wu Tian's mind go blank.
He had originally thought Chen Qinglian had something important to say, but he didn't expect it to be something like this!
He was actually liked by Chen Qinglian?
This was simply unbelievable!
Seeing that Wu Tian didn't reply, Chen Qinglian became anxious and asked again, "Can... can you agree to me?"
After a pause, Wu Tian let out a deep sigh and looked at Chen Qinglian solemnly, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to you."
"What?" Chen Qinglian's delicate body trembled slightly, and tears almost fell again.
Wu Tian quickly said, "No, no, don't misunderstand me, I don't think you're not good."
"It's just that I still have many things to resolve right now, and I really don't have time for a relationship."
"This is my problem, it has nothing to do with you!"
Chen Qinglian said with a choked voice, "So, if you finish your busy schedule later, you... you can agree to me then?"
Wu Tian felt a headache coming on.
He had originally wanted to refuse directly, but seeing Chen Qinglian's reddened eyes, he couldn't bear it.
So he could only say, "Although I can't say for sure that I will agree to you, but... if we truly have fate then, we can try."
These words undoubtedly gave Chen Qinglian hope.
Chen Qinglian immediately beamed and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you. You must come back to find me then!"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
Afterward, they didn't say much more. Wu Tian left the Chen family alone and then headed to the airport by himself.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions. He was happy that he had passed a test, but worried that he had gotten involved with Chen Qinglian in such a way.
After all, he already had similar relationships with several other women.
Moreover, among them, Zhou Qian and Tang Qi had even had physical contact with him.
Once all these matters were resolved, how would he handle these relationships?
Thinking about this, Wu Tian felt a great headache.
Upon returning, Wu Tian first went to the Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine to find Xiao Ding and Xiao Meng, and then returned to the county to find Wang Shengshou.
They already knew the news that Wu Tian had obtained a qualifying spot, and seeing Wu Tian now, they were naturally overjoyed.
After accepting their congratulations, Wu Tian returned to Taohua Village.
Although Su Qiannai had said that the one-year agreement was no longer valid, Wu Tian still intended to develop Taohua Village, preferably into the top ten nationally.
After all, this was his hometown. Now that he had become successful, he should repay everyone in any case.
After resting at home for one night, Wu Tian went to Tianbao Group.
Wu Tian was now a familiar face at Tianbao Group. Most of the security guards and receptionists knew him, so he easily went to Bai Ruoqi's office.
Upon seeing Wu Tian arrive, Bai Ruoqi was very surprised.
She quickly led Wu Tian into the office, served good tea, and then said to Wu Tian, "Why have you come, Wu Tian?"
"By the way, I received news that in an Asian competition in the TCM circle, there was someone named Wu Tian who obtained a qualifying spot. Could that person be you?"
Wu Tian had nothing to hide about this, so he nodded and admitted, "That's right, it's me."
"But I participated in the competition at someone's request, and I didn't expect to get a qualifying spot in the end."
"It's really you?" Bai Ruoqi was very surprised.
"I heard it was a particularly difficult competition, and it seemed like only geniuses participated."
"You managed to win among them, your medical skills are too amazing!"
