“Like a cruel angel, young man, beco a legend!…”
There was a continuous stream of music, and Xu Lin also slowly woke up. He reached out to the side and felt the warm and smooth jade-like back of the beauty.
“It’s Itchy, what are you doing? Let sleep…”
Xu Lin, still half asleep, reached over Qin Yunhe and grabbed the phone, answering it absentmindedly.
As soon as a ‘hello’ ca out, a familiar voice sounded from the other end, “Sister Qin, Sister Qin?”
Is it Su Qingwan!?
Xu Lin suddenly sobered up, quickly covering his mouth, but Qin Yunhe let out a sob.
“Who is it~?”
“It’s , Su Qingwan. Sorry to disturb your rest. I just wanted to let you know I’m passing by your place and bringing breakfast for you.”
“Okay…” Qin Yunhe murmured, then closed her eyes again, while Xu Lin quickly hung up the phone.
Phew, that was close. If Su Qingwan had heard clearly about his presence, it would have been a disaster.
Who knows, before long, everyone might find out, and the alliance by Chu Qingchan, which has just been established, would automatically collapse, and my harem plan would be ruined!
Taking a deep breath, Xu Lin put down the wrong phone he had picked up, and glanced at the ti on his own phone.
“It’s past 5 o’clock! I need to hurry back! Yunhe, I need to go back to change clothes and then go to school.”
“Oh, others have their boyfriends making breakfast… and you have to rush in the morning?” Qin Yunhe also sat up, making Xu Lin feel a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, it isn’t very appropriate to leave imdiately after putting on clothes, but making breakfast… what’s the quickest option?
But the next mont, Qin Yunhe waved her hand and said, “You go to school, don’t delay. I need to continue sleeping…” With that, she tilted her head back, landed on the pillow, and closed her eyes.
Xu Lin leaned over, gently kissed her forehead, and then got out of bed.
Downstairs, Xu Lin managed to hail a taxi heading towards the entrance of the residential area.
Getting on the car, a wave of exhaustion washed over him. They were up until past 2 a.m. last night, and this ti, Qin Yunhe seed even braver than he was.
Luckily, he has his ‘Riding the Waves’ technique to rely on; otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage. But Qin Yunhe is indeed a fitness enthusiast, so she’s strong in combat. He wouldn’t act so recklessly with others.
To appear less suspicious, Xu Lin got off the car early and bought breakfast before heading towards Chu Qingchan’s house. After all, there was still a risk of exposure when going ho.
But with Chu Qingchan as an eyewitness, he could simply say he went out for exercise early and happened to stop by Chu Qingchan’s place.
The elevator door opened, and as he was about to step in, his father-in-law ca out. Both of them smiled when they saw each other.
“Looking for Ji Yun and the others to go out for exercise?”
“Yeah, but Uncle is going out so early.”
“Got to support the family, right? I actually went pretty late today, but managed to get quite a bit done in the morning.”
“Well, uncle, how’s Aunt Yao doing?”
Looking at the relatively relaxed expression on Uncle Ji’s face, Xu Lin knew that things seed to be more stable now.
“The last ti I took her for a check-up, we found that overall she was still stable.”
“But this stability, it’s just a matter of ti, it could be half a month, it could be tomorrow, at most a month.”
“When it gets to the worst point, will she have to go to the hospital?” Aunt Yao, whom Xu Lin saw that day, looked worse than the first ti he saw her.
“Well, but she said she doesn’t want to die in the hospital. Even if it’s painful, she said she wants to be at ho.”
At this point, Uncle Ji also appeared sowhat despondent. Although it’s been many years since they last t, the impending loss of a loved one, especially hearing the doctor say so, carries a different kind of weight.
“But now she and aunt have reconciled a little, at least superficially. That must have eased her mind sowhat, right?”
“Ah, your aunt, she’s always been like this since she was young. She even went with for her dical checkup the other day. It’s not that she cares a lot about her; she just doesn’t want to be alone with her and is afraid of it being fake.”
“But after she went through the whole process with , her emotions cald down, and she beca much gentler towards Yao Yun. And it’s genuine gentleness.”
“Is Aunt Yao living with you now?”
“No, she cos over during the day and goes ho at night. But as her health deteriorates, I plan to have her co and live with us.”
“That’s good.”
“Oh, Xiao Xu, Uncle doesn’t consider you an outsider, so I’ll tell you. If I could have married two wives back then, maybe things wouldn’t have been so complicated!”
“n may not all think like this, but who knows, maybe the ladies do too. Imagine them having multiple husbands. But alas, marrying multiple woman at the sa ti is impossible.”
“Alright, I need to get back to work!”
“Okay, take care, oh, by the way, I have breakfast here, have you eaten?”
“I have.”
He waved and stepped into the elevator, but his father-in-law, who had walked away several steps, suddenly turned back and called out.
“I might say that, but if you dare to be unfaithful and treat Ji Yun poorly, I’ll be the first one to kick you!”
“Haha! Uncle, okay, I’ll lift my butt up for you to kick at that ti!”
Upstairs, Xu Lin knocked on the door of 602, and a girl with half her body wrapped in golden hair opened the door for him.
“Chu Fengyi, your hair…”
“It’s all ssed up from sleeping, tangled in the clothes. It’s actually too long and not easy to manage. At least at ho there’s a nanny, doing it yourself is too troubleso.”
“You slept here yesterday?”
“Yeah, are you looking for Chu Qingchan and little sister Ji Yun? Didn’t they go to your house to find you?”
“I went out early to buy breakfast,” Xu Lin raised the bag in his hand, completely without a hint of panic.
“Then call them back.”
“Okay.”
Chu Fengyi, in a daze, rubbed her hair and was about to go back to lie down when she slled sothing on Xu Lin’s body and imdiately stopped in her tracks. “Xu Lin, what’s going on here?!”
Xu Lin was taken aback when he heard Chu Fengyi’s serious and cold tone. Since she awakened her mories of her past life, it has been a long ti since he had heard such a tone from her.
This voice, it only gets this angry when… did I do sothing wrong?
“Is sothing wrong? Don’t you like buns?”
“Xu Lin! Who left the mark on your neck?!”
Xu Lin was startled.
Could it be the strawberry mark left by Qin Yunhe? No, that’s not right. Qin Yunhe doesn’t have that habit. Instead, it was him who…
Is she fishing? Can’t fall for it myself, gotta play dumb!
Stay calm, Xu Lin.
“What are you talking about, a mark? Let take another look. Maybe mosquito bites? But there are no mosquitoes in this weather. What kind of bug is it?”
Xu Lin walked into the bathroom with a puzzled expression, then glanced at himself in the mirror, opened his collar, and looked closely for several monts.
“But there’s nothing?!”
“That must have been my mistake,” Chu Fengyi said casually, her tone returning to normal.
Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but Chu Fengyi still frowned. He had that scent on him, but she hadn’t been able to catch him in any deception.
Could it be that I’ve made a mistake? Surely this guy wouldn’t be so bold as to cheat on with soone else, right? Should I have him investigated…?
Oh well, since I’ve chosen to trust him, I’ll trust him completely. I did promise him that I wouldn’t cause any trouble.
However, Xu Lin, I hope you won’t really ss around and stay honest with us. Don’t let my sister down, or else, don’t bla for being extra harsh!
Xu Lin washed his face and ca out. He looked at Chu Fengyi, who was tidying up her hair, with a calm expression.
But why did he always feel a chill around him, and why did his head start flashing red lights?
