Alas, 444

se. I'm not comfortable being watched by others, and I'm also not comfortable watching others.Even after years of living together, sharing a bed, I've never really looked at his body. It's just too em..."What's this woman's name Is she important" My brother pressed, "She's really arrogant!"

Since she could fly from the imperial capital to force Lin Yanhuan into marriage, she must be a high-ranking official's daughter, right

The first time I saw her, I didn't have a deep impression of her. I just glanced at her, only remembering that she looked shrewd and sharp-witted.

"Yan Qin, what's this woman's relationship to the Lin family Is she also a descendant of high officials" I asked.

Lin Yanqin nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "We all grew up under the same roof when we were little. For children like us with similar family backgrounds, basically by junior high school, we would go our separate ways and pursue our own paths."

"Or sent abroad, or studying in some special schools domestically, she had a goal very early on. This woman's name is Qi Ke Xin, her public identity is very low-key, you wouldn't guess who her parents are, would you" Lin Yanqin frowned slightly.

I looked at my brother, he was also frowning in thought.

“It could also be a grandson from another family, not necessarily our own. Maybe the grandson of one of the elders” My brother asked.

Lin Yanqin whispered, "She's the descendant of a certain super heavyweight elder, and not an adopted grandson, but a direct lineage. As for why her surname is Qi..."

She swallowed and added, "I, I only heard a little from my brother... This super heavyweight Elder is in charge of the intelligence system. His children use different surnames to hide their identities to avoid assassination or arrest."

"Qi Ke Xin is the direct granddaughter of this super heavyweight elder, her identity is a secret, but in our courtyard, we all know vaguely, but no one dares to talk nonsense."

My brother shook his head and sighed, "I always thought the government was far away, but I never expected that power to be so close to us."

This is unbeatable.

It's like asking a cute little imp to defy their emperor, or a child to go against the supreme god.

It was like striking a rock with an egg.

"If we do that, what if she dies How can we explain it We'll probably be punished by the whole clan!" My brother scratched his head and smiled wryly.

Lin Yanqin looked at us in horror: "Why are you doing this to her What did she do Uh, please don't do anything stupid. Don't think just because her family doesn't have any obvious power that they aren't important! Their identity is very sensitive!"

"No one is allowed to touch her house! And, and—" Lin Yanqin was a little anxious.

And I sighed, "Besides, her family holds onto a lot of secrets, right If they feel like they're not being treated well, there's a chance they could leak the secrets."

Lin Yanqin nodded. "There's no way around it... It's good that they enjoy the special treatment discreetly."

"So, what's the deal with her and your brother" I blurted out.

"Ah... She's liked my older brother since she was little..." Lin Yanqin shook her head helplessly, "It's really been since she was little. The more my brother ignored her, the more she liked him. I don't understand why..."

My brother twitched his lip: “This is the legendary childhood sweetheart Plus unwavering devotion”

Lin Yanqin nodded. "But later, when my elder brother went to study abroad after high school, we barely had any contact. But after he returned to China, she seemed possessed, saying she wouldn't marry anyone but my older brother. My brother didn't want to break things off with her either, so they mostly just took a cold approach."

“My elder brother left the capital to avoid suspicion. He moved the Lin family's business here, and she flies over every other day to pressure him into marriage. This time is even more outrageous; she bought a villa here and lives there, determined not to give up until she succeeds. My elder brother is almost driven crazy by her. Recently, he seems to have gone back, and my elder brother finally breathed a sigh of relief.”

We looked at each other in dismay. If even Lin Yanhuan couldn't casually provoke her, what were we supposed to do

"Qin'er, come to my room. I have something to tell you." My brother stood up and pulled Lin Yanqin towards the stairs.

Lin Yanqin was a little flushed, and I knew my brother wanted to explain the ins and outs of this matter to her clearly so that Lin Yanqin wouldn't be caught off guard.

"Xiao Qiao, you tell Lao Lu to stop investigating. Tell him we already know who it is and ask him to drop it immediately. Otherwise, he's probably going to be suspended and put under review." My brother reminded me.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

They entered the room. I took out my phone and called Officer Lu, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering.

My persistence paid off, and I finally got through. A woman's voice answered on the other end, "Hello, who is this"

"Huh" Is this Officer Lu's wife or girlfriend

"Who are you looking for" asked the one opposite.

"Ah... Excuse me, is Officer Lu here I'm his friend's younger sister. Someone asked me to bring him a message."

He hesitated for a moment and said, “He’s at the office. If you're in a hurry, you can go to the office to find him.”

Tsk, is this really something we need to rush

I hesitated for a moment, then turned my head and shouted to the courtyard, "Old Chen, put down what you're doing and come help me!"

Old Mr. Chen was washing vegetables when he heard me call out. He immediately ran over, wiping his hands, and asked, "Miss, what can I do for you"

"Um, you, you could tidy up a bit. Go find someone for me and tell them... things are urgent." I said.

Mr. Chen combed his hair. His once-fashionable three-to-seven split hairstyle, which I'd deemed too eye-catching, had been replaced with a more subdued high ponytail under my orders.

"How's my look I've gotten quite a bit more elegant since following you, Miss." He said as he untied his apron.

"Alright, go quickly. Here's some money for a cab." I flipped a red bill to him from behind the counter.

I told him to find Officer Lu and ask him to stop the investigation and call us immediately.

As I watched Mr. Chen get into a taxi at the shop's door, I went upstairs to the guest room to see Mu Wanchen.

He's been on antibiotics for a few days and is much better now. When I went in, he was changing the bandage on his hand himself.

"Hey! You called me Why are you doing this yourself, your wounds aren't healed yet!" I hurried over to help.

"Your husband is too jealous, I'd better do it myself." He chuckled softly.

"It's understandable that he would hold a grudge against you for having bad intentions the first time you met."

Mu Wanchen still had his head and neck wrapped in gauze, looking like a patient with facial burns. It was rather strange.

But he was unwilling to show his face, so I had him stay in the guest room as much as possible. My brother lent him a laptop and taught him how to use it. When he got bored, he would go online and learn some modern knowledge on his own.

I stared blankly at his shoulders. "What kind of body is this...are you really raised by your parents How could the wound be like this—"ntle and conservative.” I couldn't help but facepalm."Well...Yue'er and you have such different personalities. If she had half your open-mindedness, I'd be relieved. I'm worried that this child overt...
