"I'm sorry, Young Master Long, I'm not interested in your proposal."
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Upon hearing Long Hongyuan's words, Qiu Hanying refused without a second thought.
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and headed for the door of the private room.
"Stop right there!"
However, before Qiu Hanying could reach the door, someone suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her path.
It was Long Hongda, who had been standing by Long Hongyuan's side without saying a word.
"Who do you think you are?"
"You dare to leave before my seventh brother has even spoken?"
Long Hongda's face was filled with murderous intent as he questioned Qiu Hanying.
He knew his seventh brother's intentions, so of course, he had to cooperate.
One playing the tough cop, the other the good cop; they had used this tactic countless times and had never failed.
"You two..."
"Get out of my way! Are you trying to abduct me?"
Seeing Long Hongda blocking her path, Qiu Hanying immediately rebuked him, showing no fear despite him being a cultivator.
She knew what they were thinking, but for Qiu Hanying at this moment, she would never fall for another man in her life, except for Lin Chen!
Let alone marry him!
"Hmph, abduct you? Who do you think you are?"
Long Hongda gave Qiu Hanying no face at all, his expression full of disdain.
A company like Ru Shuang Group, with a market value of only a few hundred million yuan.
To ordinary people, that was a lot of money, but to the Long family, it was just a speck of dust under their fingernails, not worth mentioning.
To bring down a mere Ru Shuang Group was as simple as him making a phone call.
"I'm telling you, my seventh brother is being polite to you because he likes you."
"But if you're truly ungrateful, I can kill you right here, and no one will dare to intervene!"
Long Hongda narrowed his eyes, his meaning clear.
Indeed, as he said, let alone people from the Long family in the capital, even those from the Long family in Zhejiang Province, if they truly wanted to harm Qiu Hanying, no one would dare to object.
After all, if the Long family went mad, even the Liu family would have to retreat.
"You... what exactly do you want?"
Hearing Long Hongda's threat, Qiu Hanying forced herself to calm down.
Indeed, as Long Hongda had said, although this was her hotel, if these cultivators were to attack her, they would have ways to destroy her body without a trace, even if she were killed here.
The best course of action now was to stall for time and wait for Lin Chen to return.
She had spoken to Lin Chen on the phone last night and learned that he would be back in a few days.
"My seventh brother said he wants you to marry him and return to the capital with us."
"What? Do you have any objections?"
Long Hongda's face was menacing, releasing his full aura using spiritual energy.
It had to be said that a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, when releasing their full aura, was difficult for ordinary people to resist.
Even Qiu Hanying's complexion changed slightly.
"Hahaha, Hongda, how can you be so rude to your future sister-in-law?"
Seeing that Qiu Hanying had fallen silent, Long Hongyuan knew the time was ripe and stood up.
Although he seemed to be reprimanding Long Hongda, his address to Qiu Hanying had completely changed.
"Yes, yes, seventh brother, I was wrong."
Hearing Long Hongyuan's words, Long Hongda immediately nodded and apologized without hesitation.
Although both of them were at the mid-stage Core Formation cultivation level, Long Hongyuan's strength was far superior to Long Hongda's.
What was more important was that even in the capital, Long Hongyuan was the most favored.
"Young Master Long, marriage is a big matter, you have to give me time to consider it."
"I'm meeting you for the first time today, and I don't know you well."
"If I agree to marry you right now, then am I marrying you, or am I marrying the Long family's fortune?"
Qiu Hanying forced herself to calm down and quickly came up with a plan.
After her words, she keenly noticed a subtle change in the eyes of the man named Long Hongyuan.
"Young Master Long, think about it. I, Qiu Hanying, founded Ru Shuang Group with my own hands."
"Force will be of no use to make me marry you."
"If you are willing, you can give me time to consider, and at the same time, let me get to know what kind of person you are."
"Otherwise, even if I marry you, what difference would I be from those women who were after your wealth before?"
Seeing the change in Long Hongyuan's expression, Qiu Hanying quickly continued to persuade him.
What she needed to do now was to stall for time by any means necessary.
As long as Lin Chen returned, everything would have a chance of turning around.
"Hmm, you are indeed a clever woman!"
Hearing Qiu Hanying's words, Long Hongyuan nodded instinctively, his expression full of affirmation.
While Qiu Hanying was speaking, he recalled scenes of many women surrounding him over the years.
Indeed, most of those women were attracted to him because of his identity as a cultivator and his family background.
There were hardly two who truly liked him!
After all, his appearance wasn't that of a handsome man.
Although countless women had thrown themselves at him before, in the end, those people were only after his status.
To put it simply, if it were anyone else, as long as they were a young master of the Long family, those women would still eagerly throw themselves at him.
"Alright, I will be staying in Zhejiang Province for half a month."
"I'll give you half a month to consider."
"After half a month, I hope, President Qiu, you can give me a definite answer!"
After a moment of thought, Long Hongyuan quickly made up his mind. Since he was determined to marry Qiu Hanying, he was not in a hurry.
As a dignified mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, he had this much patience.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to cultivate to this level.
"Good, it's a deal!"
Hearing that Long Hongyuan was willing to give her half a month, Qiu Hanying couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
She believed that in half a month, Lin Chen would definitely be back.
By then, it would be impossible for these people to threaten her with force.
"President Qiu, I hope you will consider carefully during these half a month."
"If you have any other ideas, I'm afraid you'll have to ask me if I agree first."
Seeing Qiu Hanying's expression, Long Hongda stepped forward and threatened her.
