Chapter 17
On the way back, perhaps considering his aloof persona in front of others.
Bai Ying'er didn't say anything.
And Qin Qi was pondering over the day's events.
Suddenly.
The long-absent mysterious woman's voice rang out unexpectedly, "Alright, those two people's auras have already gone far away."
Upon hearing the other's words, Qin Qi immediately engaged in a mental exchange with her.
His mind was full of confusion, "Who are these two people, and who are you?"
The mysterious woman's voice, as usual, was charming and mesmerizing, "Who I am, for you right now, it's too early to know."
"I ask you, is that Zuo Qingyue beautiful?"
"That woman in the Taoist robe..." Qin Qi's mind conjured up her image.
"Yes, that's her!" the mysterious woman laughed.
Qin Qi couldn't help but nod, "Beautiful!"
The mysterious woman chuckled, "Want to conquer her?"
"Yes!" Qin Qi declared decisively.
Whether it was a man's ambition or his acquaintance with the mysterious woman.
Any woman he set his eyes on, he had to have!
The mysterious woman leisurely said, "As long as you listen to me, I'll help you get her. One day, she'll also end up in your bed!"
"She's an incredible woman, usually pure and noble, cold and arrogant. I'm really curious, when she's pinned down and wildly ravished, how spectacular that scene would be!"
With the mysterious woman's words, Qin Qi's heart was also filled with anticipation.
He couldn't help but ask, "You have to tell me something about yourself!"
The mysterious woman thought for a moment, seemingly agreeing with Qin Qi's reasoning.
She lazily responded, "You just need to know, those two people are here to capture me. They won't easily give up. Having found this place, they'll definitely continue their search."
"If I fall into their hands, not only am I done for, but you're done too!"
"As for who I am... once you deal with Lin Jie, I'll believe you have that ability. Naturally, I'll tell you everything about me!"
Qin Qi contemplated.
Curious, yet also realizing he's seemingly caught up in a significant event.
...
Soon, the time reached past eight in the evening.
Lin Jie, dragging her weary body and wearing high heels, opened the door to her home.
She was supposed to come back very late today, but because her butt hurt so much, she had to take an early leave and returned home.
"I'm back..."
Lin Jie called out, only to find no one responding.
Her delicate face was full of confusion, as she took off her high heels and slipped her black-stocking-clad feet into slippers.
Then, she went into Qin Qi's room, knocked the door, and pushed it open.
"Xiaoqi?"
She discovered that Qin Qi was sitting in front of the desk.
It seemed that her entry had startled him, as he visibly jumped.
Qin Qi, extremely nervous, said, "Godmother, why did you come back so early today!"
Seeing Qin Qi studying, Lin Jie's face blossomed with joy, "Xiaoqi is so well-behaved, studying. Godmother hurt herself too much the day before yesterday, so I took a leave to rest!"
"Since you're studying, I won't disturb you. I'll go lie on the sofa for a while!"
Qin Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Godmother, wait a moment. After I memorize these things, I'll apply the medicine for you!"
Originally, Lin Jie didn't want to agree, but feeling the pain from her bottom, she lightly nodded.
"Alright!" Lin Jie smiled broadly, her eyes curved like crescents.
She hobbled to close the room door.
Unbeknownst to her.
As she closed the door.
Qin Qi moved his chair back slightly.
Under the desk, there was a young girl in a white camisole and stockings, otherwise stark naked.
Wasn't it Bai Ying'er?
At this moment, remnants lingered at the corners of Bai Ying'er's mouth, clearly having just parted from Qin Qi's actions not long ago.
Her face filled with panic, "Brother, what should we do now!"
Qin Qi responded irritably, "How would I know, didn't you say our mother would be back very late tonight?"
Bai Ying'er bit her silver teeth, "That's what she said herself. How could I know she'd suddenly change her mind and come back?"
"It's all your fault, insisting I wear white stockings. My clothes are all upstairs now, how am I supposed to go out like this without being exposed?"
Qin Qi realized the seriousness of the situation.
With Lin Jie resting on the sofa, she might not notice right now. But later, when she goes upstairs and finds Bai Ying'er not at home, she will definitely become suspicious.
He rubbed his temples and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan!"
Bai Ying'er, overjoyed, asked, "What plan!"
"When I go out to apply the medicine for our mother, you take that opportunity to sneak upstairs. I'll distract her attention; she won't notice you!" Qin Qi explained earnestly.
Bai Ying'er took a light breath, feeling that this plan wasn't all that reliable, but at the moment, it was the only option.
She glared at Qin Qi and pinched his belongings hard, "Then hurry up!"
Qin Qi quickly tidied up his attire and stood up, a wave of fear washing over him.
Luckily they didn't go all out today, or they'd be in deep trouble.
It seems that he has to be more careful in the future.
Although he had Bai Ying'er all figured out, Lin Jie was still far from it. If Lin Jie found out about his relationship with her daughter, she would definitely kick him out.
