Boarding Life

Early the next morning, Qin Qi got up early.

After eating the breakfast Lin Jie made, he went to school with Bai Ying'er.

On the way.

Bai Ying'er gave Qin Qi's arm a hard pinch.

This made Qin Qi grimace in pain, "Ouch, what are you doing!"

Bai Ying'er stared intently at Qin Qi, "Answer me honestly. When I went back to my hometown for those two days, did you and mom do anything at home? I always feel like mom deliberately sent me away!"

Qin Qi's heart tightened.

Geez.

Women's intuition is really accurate.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't admit it, "What are you thinking? Mom's still mad at me."

"What's there to be mad about? I'm not angry anymore!" Bai Ying'er pouted.

Qin Qi curiously asked, "You're really not mad?"

"Hmph, you lecherous guy, you'd do anything to get me. Would you let mom go?"

Bai Ying'er spoke irritably, "But after thinking it over, I'm not fussed about it anymore. Just like you said, mom has struggled alone for so many years."

"And besides, you're indeed part of the family. If someone should benefit, it might as well be you. I can let you have fun, so you two having that kind of thing doesn't seem all that bad!"

Qin Qi was delighted upon hearing this.

Though he knew Bai Ying'er wasn't as resistant as before, he didn't expect she had fully come to terms with it.

He then said, "Thinking like this makes me very happy!"

"Qin Qi, you haven't touched me in a long time." Bai Ying'er looked at Qin Qi as if interrogating a criminal, "I can't control what you do with Tang Xueli outside, but isn't it time to pay your dues?"

Seeing Bai Ying'er asserting her authority made Qin Qi truly nervous.

Sometimes feeding this woman too much isn't a good thing; she's even asking him to pay his dues.

He's not afraid to pay, but after considering he said, "It's nearing the end of the term, so focus on your studies! If your studies are hindered, that would be a big loss!"

"After exams, if you do well, I'll give you a proper reward!"

Bai Ying'er was content after hearing this.

But soon, she felt something was off, "You're actually choosing now? You're obviously the one doing it, but now I have to get a reward from you? Qin Qi, you're shameless!"

"Hey, we're out on the streets. Our conversation could ruin your high-cold goddess image!" Qin Qi quickly reminded.

Bai Ying'er wanted to pinch Qin Qi a few more times but, afraid of being seen, reluctantly let it go.

As such, school courses went by as usual, quite boringly.

With his increased abilities, Qin Qi could multitask effectively.

Even if his mind was elsewhere.

As long as the lecturer's words entered his ears, they seemed to transform into memory fragments, etched into his mind, impossible to forget.

And so, it quickly reached the end of the school day.

Qin Qi originally planned to meet Bai Ying'er to go home.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Seeing it was Han Siqi calling, he quickly answered, "What's up, my good puppy!"

"Master, the usual place, Qiqi is waiting for you." Han Siqi's cheerful voice came through.

Arriving at the meeting spot with Han Siqi, Qin Qi indeed found her car there.

Today, Han Siqi drove herself.

Getting into the car, Qin Qi curiously asked, "What's up? Missing your master?"

"Qiqi misses Master every day, but today is different. Today, belongs to Master's training time." Han Siqi smiled sweetly.

Qin Qi raised an eyebrow, "What's going on?"

Han Siqi softly spoke, "It's Shen Lulu; she wants to see you, Master!"

Qin Qi smiled upon hearing this, "Didn't expect her to reach out to me before I found her. Hehe, let's go!"

Han Siqi obediently drove.

Qin Qi continued to ask, "Is your brother settled outside?"

About two weeks ago, Bai Ying'er took time to go to court to reverse the testimony. Thanks to Han Siqi's well-managed efforts, it didn't take much time.

He hadn't thought much of it.

Considering the time, her brother should have been settled by now.

Han Siqi responded, "Yes, he's settled. After this incident, he should be more restrained. Let him grow outside for a while; eventually, the Han Group will be handed over to him!"

Qin Qi nodded.

Since this matter was resolved, and given his and Han Siqi's master-servant relationship, he didn't focus much on the grudge.

Han Siqi continued, "Speaking of which, these past few days, the Southern Province Chamber of Commerce's Mr. Wu has contacted me several times somewhat intentionally."

"What does he contact you for?" Qin Qi asked, puzzled.

Immersed in laughter, Han Siqi replied, "Master surely suspects, at the end of the day, doesn't he want to cling onto your higher branches?"

Qin Qi rubbed his chin, "What do you think of the Wu family?"

"Master has already accepted the young lady of the Wu family, and since Master desires Wu Shuangshuang, the Wu family will definitely board your ship sooner or later!"

Qin Qi was taken aback, "You even know I want Wu Shuangshuang?"

"Hehe, what can I say? Qiqi is Master's little dog." Han Siqi responded softly while driving attentively, "But, Master, have you considered forming a force uniquely yours now that you've pulled in so many forces?"

"Otherwise, gathering these forces together would only result in disunity!"

"I have considered it, but how do I form my own force?" Qin Qi asked.

Han Siqi earnestly explained, "Master can imitate the Southern Province Chamber of Commerce, forming a chamber unique to you, allowing various forces to join!"

"You just need to be the president. Other tasks can be handled by Qiqi on your behalf."

In deep thought, Qin Qi commented, "Form a chamber? Since there's already the Southern Province Chamber of Commerce, should we form our own...?"

Han Siqi thoroughly explained, "Precisely because even the vice president of the Southern Province Chamber, Mr. Wu, wants to attach himself to you, I thought of forming a chamber!"

"The Huang family has dominated for years, many want to overthrow them. Once Master's chamber is established, those wanting to align with you will increase. The Southern Province Chamber will eventually fall under your command!"

Qin Qi found Han Siqi's reasoning increasingly sensible.

Forming his own force, to become its ruler.

Such ambitions were previously unthinkable!

But now, it's seemingly within reach.

Qin Qi's smile widened, "Han Siqi, your suggestion is great. Since you've given such a good idea to your master, after training Shen Lulu, Master will definitely reward you properly!"

Upon hearing this, Han Siqi's eyes gleamed.

It's been some time since Qin Qi last tormented her.

She eagerly spoke tenderly, "Then Qiqi will bathe, wear what Master wants to see, and await your torment in the room..."
