In a life that seemed like a distant dream, no matter if Qin Ruan was in West City or back in the Qin household, she had never been overly intimate with anyone.
Her defensive barriers were hefty, she had never relied on anyone.
She had believed since she came of age, the only person one could rely on and trust in this world, would always be oneself.
If it weren't for the painful experiences of her past life, if she didn't feel the sincere care from the father-son trio of the Qin family, she might have never let down her emotional walls so easily.
Her earlier flirtatious, affectionate and dependent tone on Qin Jingcen made Qin Ruan feel a little uncomfortable.
She believed, in time, she would get used to it.
Her father, elder and younger brothers were her most beloved family.
In this life, she would protect them, and ensure that their later years were worry-free.

East City, at a certain private club.
