The hardest thing

a complete member of society. This society does not recognize the so-called arranged marriage..."He gave me a meaningful look, then turned and left.I returned to Lin Yanqin's room and saw my brother..."Sorry to bother you again." I awkwardly looked at him.

Lin Yanhuan smiled: "No trouble, come in. You've been standing at the door for a long time."

His office has undergone many changes. The originally super spacious office is now divided into a suite, and the desk and display shelves are much richer in decoration.

He saw me looking around and explained, "You said before that the room was too big and the energy would dissipate. My mother especially believes in these old sayings, and Yanqin has also been influenced by you guys lately. She keeps saying my office is not good. I couldn't stand the nagging from these two women at home, so I had to change the office."

I couldn't help but smile and say, "That's right, they're all doing it for your own good... The office used to be so cold and impersonal, but now it feels much warmer."

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh What about the people in the office Have they become more sentimental too"

“You’ve always been quite kindhearted, just that you seem too cold and aloof, making people hesitate to get close.”

Lin Yanhuan smiled and motioned for me to sit down and talk: "So, what brings you to 'visit' me today I wish you could bother me more often."

As he spoke, he picked up the phone and pressed a few buttons, instructing Fang's assistant to screen all work calls and not disturb our conversation.

"Don't do that... I'll finish quickly and leave, I won't take up too much of your time."

He looked at me with a hint of amusement: "Xiao Qiao, is this how you beg someone Don't you fear I'll drive you away"

I... I'm at a loss too, don't want to trouble him, but have to.

To ask someone to do something, the fact that they are willing to listen to you is already a great face-saver. They are even personally receiving me Am I asking for too much

"Sorry... I'll try to save time and get straight to the point... I want to ask, is Qi Ke Xin your girlfriend or fiancée"

He was taken aback for a second, but it only took him a moment to figure out what had happened. "Ke Xin How did you know her... Did Yan Qin tell you"

"Yeah, I wanted to ask, what's your relationship with Qi Ke Xin like now Is it too forward of me to ask" I looked at him helplessly.

He tilted his head in confusion: "Why are you interested in this"

“Because I’m afraid you might be engaged to her, or even planning to get married…then we—”

"No." Lin Yanhuan shook her head, interrupting me.

I observed his expression carefully. There was some surprise in his eyes, but he didn't feign composure.

Of course, he may be good at disguising himself, making it difficult to see through his intentions.

"...Although Ke Xin has always had this intention, I don't have that kind of thought."

I let out a small sigh of relief: "That's great..."

"What does it matter to you" he looked at me with a half-smile. "Xiao Qiao, whether I get married or have a fiance... does it really matter to you"

"Important, just not her..." I answered a little sheepishly.

"What's wrong Did Xiaoxin bully you behind my back last time because I used you as a shield" he frowned slightly.

Underhandedly No no no, she's planning to confront me openly. I haven't even had a chance to retaliate yet.

"Why aren't you speaking" Lin Yanhuan looked at me.

“I want to say! But I feel like you don’t want to hear... These tales of ghosts and spirits, every time you hear them you don’t take them seriously…”

"Tell me, do you think it's true I'll make the judgment in my heart." Lin Yanhuan said with an encouraging tone.

On my way here, I had already organized my words and was ready to tell him the ins and outs of the situation, when I heard the doorbell ring “ding dong dong” from outside.

Lin Yanhuan frowned—he had just told them not to disturb him, how come someone came to the door

The internal phone rang, and Lin Yanhua picked up the phone with an annoyed "Hello."

On the phone, someone hurriedly reported something. Lin Yanhuan frowned and pressed the door lock switch.

He could have controlled it here, so why did he go behind the door to wait for me to open it…

Someone coming in from outside startled me so much that I jumped up from my chair.

Just as I was thinking about him, here he is!

Qi Ke Xin wore a red tight mini skirt, swaying her hips lightly and walking towards the office desk in high heels.

She had short hair that reached her shoulders, a pale complexion, and delicately applied makeup.

Looking at her blood-red lips, I couldn't help but frown - I didn't know if she had eaten human flesh that day, but she had certainly absorbed some life force.

Heart blood and fingertip blood represent yang energy. As a vengeful ghost who has lived for a century, her yin energy is too heavy. She needs the vital energy of living blood to make herself more vibrant.

"See you later..." she smiled as she walked to Lin Yanhuan's desk.

"What's the matter" Lin Yanhuan's tone was flat and distant.

"What's the matter It's just that your mom asked me to look after you. She's worried you'll be working too hard and neglecting your meals and rest. I'm just reminding you to have lunch and take a break..."

As she said this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at me with feigned surprise. "Your assistant stopped me just now, saying I wasn't allowed in. I thought you were relaxing with some young clerk in the office. Well, it seems you were just lecturing a little girl instead."

She looked at me with a challenging gaze.

“I still have something to do, you go back first. I already have an appointment at noon.” Lin Yanhuan said lightly.

"Oh my, how could you do this to me I came here on an empty stomach! I'm a stranger in a strange land, where am I supposed to find something I like to eat... Why don't you just be my meal instead" She put her hand on Lin Yanhua's shoulder, her crimson lips leaning in close.

My goodness! She really eats, doesn't she

"Stop it!" I clenched my fist, ready to unleash the God Thunder Seal should she suddenly bite down on Lin Yanhuan's neck.

"Stay away from him! Or I'll be forced to get rough with you! You..."

Demons and heretics.

I really want to shout it out, but I'm afraid Lin Yanhuan will think I'm being unreasonable.

He was neither cold nor enthusiastic toward Qi Kexin, but he clearly indulged her actions without a disapproving look. This showed that what Lin Yanqin said was true: Qi Kexin's background was indeed extraordinary.

If they were just ordinary officials' children, there would be possibilities like being removed from office or falling from grace.

And her family was secretly protected by the authorities, they dared not touch her.

"Oh... Yan Huan, who is this little girl She gets jealous when I come near you" Qi Ke Xin softly whispered in Lin Yan Huan's ear, seductively bending down and placing her chin on Lin Yan Huan's shoulder.

The tight red dress revealed a tantalizing cleavage.

"She's my friend, she probably hasn't seen anyone so bold as you," Lin Yanhuan glanced at her, emphasizing again: "I have things to do, I have an appointment later. You go back first, and let's go eat some delicious food another day."

She pouted and whispered coquettishly, “The food is just an appetizer. I want to ‘eat’ you…”ever seen him manipulate things in nature. On the other hand, Mu Wanchen could do it effortlessly.This sandbar is covered by vines, and the surrounding river water has risen like a barrier, forming a...
