Chapter 2: I want to marry your daughter
At ShengTian Group, Assistant Wang knocked on the CEO's office door.
"Come in." Qin Yuheng barely looked up from the project he was working on.
"President, we've found the person you were looking for, but…" Assistant Wang hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.
Qin Yuheng frowned at his pause. "Speak."
PA Wang placed the file on the desk. "Well, a few days ago, she was involved in an accident. The surgery needs to be done within two days, or her condition will worsen. Her family is in a difficult situation financially, so…"
"Alright." Qin Yuheng's tone was firm. "Book the next flight. We'll go meet them." He picked up the file and started reading the details.
Name: Shen Ning
Age: 20
Occupation: Medical student
Medical student? But she got confused between CPR and a first kiss? He couldn't help but smile, his fingers absentmindedly rubbing his lips.

Meanwhile, at the Shen family home, the mood was heavy. The deadline for Shen Ning's surgery was fast approaching, but they still couldn't afford the bill.
Father Shen's phone rang, the number unknown. "Hello?"
"Mr. Shen, our boss wants to meet with you… it's possible your daughter's surgery will be covered today," came the voice on the other end. It was Assistant Wang, following Qin Yuheng's instructions.
"What?! Really?" Father Shen jumped up from the sofa, his voice filled with excitement.
Mother Shen, along with the rest of the family, looked on in confusion. The phone was on speaker, and they heard everything clearly.
"Yes," Assistant Wang confirmed.
Mother Shen nudged Father Shen, gesturing for him to ask about the details. "Where should we meet?"
"At CT Royal Café, 4 PM."
Father Shen quickly agreed. This place wasn't far from their house.
After the call ended, Father Shen's eyes sparkled with hope and anticipation. His daughter was going to be saved. Could this man truly be sent by God to help them?
Mother Shen tugged at his sleeve. "I want to go with you."
"Alright," Father Shen agreed, his voice filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

At CT Royal Café, the Shen parents entered and scanned the room, unsure if the man they were supposed to meet was already there.
Seeing their hesitation, Qin Yuheng stood up with a smile, his demeanor calm and polite. "Hello, Uncle, Auntie. I'm Qin Yuheng, the person you're here to meet. Please, have a seat."
Father Shen was immediately struck by the man's gentlemanly manner.
Once they sat down, Father Shen didn't waste any time. "About my daughter's surgery…" he started, his voice tinged with urgency.
Qin Yuheng met his gaze steadily. "Uncle, I'd like to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage."
Father Shen and Mother Shen stared at him, shocked. "Mr. Qin, what do you mean?"
"I want to marry your daughter," Qin Yuheng said, his voice firm yet respectful.
The Shen parents were speechless. Who was this stranger, and how did he know their daughter?
Qin Yuheng slid a file across the table toward Father Shen. "This contains my information."
Father Shen didn't immediately take the file. "Sorry, Mr. Qin. We don't know you. We can't agree to something like this without understanding who you are. Besides, you look like a rich person..."
Qin Yuheng remained calm, offering a reassuring smile. He understood their hesitation. After all, this was his future in-laws. "Uncle, Auntie, I understand your doubts. But please trust me—my intentions are sincere. I will never harm Ning. If you agree to our marriage, every property I own will belong to her. I have no past relationships, and if there's anything I haven't told you, all of it will go to Ning. I won't be able to take a single cent for myself."
He wasn't in a rush about anything else—what mattered was leaving a good impression on his future in-laws.
