Lin Qingxuan looked shy and was about to speak when footsteps sounded and Lin Qingrou came down from upstairs. She was wearing a sky-blue long robe nightgown, revealing her snow-white neck and collarbone. The hem of the gown exposed her fair and shapely legs, which were incredibly eye-catching. Even in such casual attire, she exuded elegance and luxury.
This woman is indeed a rare beauty in the world.
Seeing Lin Qingxuan clinging to Ye Nan as usual, Lin Qingrou felt a wave of annoyance in her heart, but did not show it, still maintaining her perennial icy expression.
"Mr. Lin, you're still not asleep!"
Ye Nan smiled and decided to lighten the mood.
Lin Qingrou nodded expressionlessly, feeling even more upset inside.
Referring to Lin Qingxuan as sister-in-law, but calling oneself Mr. Lin.
Obvious differential treatment!
"When she came back alone today, she seemed a bit upset, didn't say a word and went upstairs."
Lin Qingxuan leaned close to Ye Nan and whispered, "She came down as soon as you came back. Hmph, such a proud and willful person, suffering in her own stubbornness!"
Ye Nan smiled.
"How was Tang Min's birthday?" Lin Qingrou couldn't stand the intimacy between the two and poured herself a glass of red wine, sitting elegantly on the sofa, asking.
Ye Nan was taken aback.
"Damn it! Tang Min is actually reporting to the old woman in real time!"
" Damn, is this the tragedy of being a son-in-law?"
" Mr. Lin, I feel... you making people stare at me like this, makes me feel very undignified!"
Ye Nan was not satisfied in her heart, and she resisted a little bit on her lips.
Lin Qingrou heard his inner voice and the struggle on his lips, and she smirked slightly. Calmly, she took out a gold card and threw it on the coffee table. "There are tens of thousands inside, and the password is my birthday. Tomorrow, give Tang Min a birthday gift, and keep the rest as pocket money for yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
Ye Nan immediately rushed forward, picked up the gold card and put it in his pocket. His agile movements were truly breathtaking.
[" Damn ", is this the joy of having a son-in-law?!]
[This old woman, can handle it! Love it, love it!]
Lin Qingrou cast a disdainful glance at the corner of her mouth, staring proudly at Ye Nan, "What did you just say about dignity? I didn't catch that."
"Ah? Dignity? What's that?" Ye Nan looked bewildered. "Is it tasty?"
Lin Qingxuan twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Brother-in-law, you are shameless and despicable!
"I have a bit of shoulder pain."
Lin Qingrou lazily leaned on the sofa, her two snow-white long legs crossed, she took a sip of red wine, and glanced lightly at Ye Nan.
"Mr. Lin, I have to criticize you for this!"
Ye Nan rolled up his sleeves, walked behind Lin Qingrou, and earnestly pinched her fragrant shoulders, saying with a serious expression, "You're so focused on work that you're neglecting your health! You should know that your body doesn't just belong to you, it belongs to the whole Haiqing!"
"You work so hard, we employees feel for you!"
When Ye Nan's hand touched her own, Lin Qingrou's heart suddenly trembled.
She had never had physical contact with any man other than her father and grandfather in her entire life.
Ye Nan's hand is warm and strong, and the heat from his palm transfers to her skin, giving her a sensation like an electric shock. It's very strange, very peculiar. But... she doesn't dislike it at all.
Lin Qingrou remained calm on the surface, but gave a demonstrative glance at the foolishly standing Lin Qingxuan, and for the first time, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Lin Qingxuan, little sister, do you want to steal your own brother-in-law?
You're still too young!
Perhaps he is closer to you, but you haven't seen through his true nature.
Blood is thicker than water!
Lin Qingxuan looked at her older sister's smug expression, bit her lip, glared at Ye Nan with frustration, and stomped upstairs.
Returning to her room, Lin Qingxuan flopped onto the bed and vented her frustration by pounding the pillow with her fists.
So annoying!
Lin Qingrou, you old woman, just you wait!
I have to find a way to make money quickly.
Lin Qingxuan sighed helplessly.
Why did I have to fall for a materialistic man!
Downstairs, Lin Qingrou, who finally won a game, was in a good mood and said lightly, "That's enough."
"Press a little longer," Ye Nan's hands didn't stop, his eyes were sly as he reached into the depths of Lin Qingrou's white neck through her robe.
"Wow, bras can also be blue? And with flowers, too. old woman Quite boring!"
"Haven't seen something so white and round in a long time..."
"Indeed, some things are not better the bigger they are, just right is perfect."
【This old woman seems to be made for the word "perfect."】
Hearing the first two sentences, Lin Qingrou felt an impulse to explode.
But upon hearing the last two sentences, her heart trembled slightly, and a barely noticeable blush appeared on her face.
Ye Nan Even in his inner thoughts, the number of times he praised her could be counted on one hand, with most of them being complaints and sarcasm. This time... he suddenly praised her so much that Lin Qingrou actually felt a sense of being flattered. But she is, after all, the most proud and aloof female CEO of Jiangling, and she quickly regained her composure.
Am I being a bit of a masochist? I feel happy even though he took advantage of me with his eyes. "Should I press a little longer, or should I look a little longer?" Lin Qingrou said coldly.
"No conflict, no conflict!" Ye Nan chuckled.
"Ye Nan, are you looking for trouble?" Lin Qingrou gritted her teeth, her tone icy.
Ye Nan shuddered and came to his senses.
I'm a little too pleased with myself.
Hey, the word "color" is like a double-edged sword.
He sheepishly stopped and walked over to the sofa opposite Lin Qingrou and sat down.
"Mr. Lin, there's something I want to ask you." Ye Nan resumed a serious expression.
"Go ahead," Lin Qingrou felt her heart beating a little faster, a slight blush still lingering on her pretty face, unable to fully recover from the embarrassment of being peeked at by Ye Nan just now.
"Do you have relatives in Linhai City?" Ye Nan asked casually.
"Yes." Lin Qingrou said with a puzzled expression, "My uncle Lin Zhengyang's family has settled in Linhai City. Why do you ask?"
"Oh? Your uncle?" Ye Nan blinked twice.
"Yes," Lin Qingrou nodded, suddenly remembering something, "Oh, you almost made me forget. My uncle's family is coming to Jiangling tomorrow. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and the whole family wants to get together. Will you come with me?"
Ye Nan narrowed his eyes and fell silent. Lin Qingrou saw that he wasn't speaking and thought he was feeling nervous, so she taunted, "What's wrong, is the ugly daughter-in-law afraid to meet her in-laws?"
Ye Nan still didn't say anything.
Just as Lin Qingrou was getting curious, a voice spoke in her mind.
【Tomorrow?】
【Is he coming to Jiangling tomorrow?】
【Then... who was the person that I and Yueying just saw?】
Lin Qingrou was stunned.
She didn't know who Yueying was.
But from his tone, it seemed like he had met her uncle?
How is that possible?
But...
Lin Qingrou is not stupid. She immediately thought of Ye Nan who had just asked her if she had any relatives in Linhai City. It was definitely not a random question.
"Ye Nan, do you have something to tell me?" Lin Qingrou stared at Ye Nan intently.
Ye Nan glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and shook her head helplessly, "No.
[Should I tell you? How can I tell you?]
[Should I tell you that your uncle is deceiving you, that he has already arrived in Jiangling, and that the Dark Wind Assassin Organization has been hired to assassinate you, with your good uncle as the mastermind behind it all?]
These two sentences sounded like thunder, almost making Lin Qingrou scream in shock. She suddenly widened her eyes, her hand trembling, almost dropping the wine glass to the ground. The assassin organization, was it hired by her uncle?
Absolutely impossible! What nonsense is Ye Nan talking about! Lin Qingrou felt angry in her heart, and her face also became ugly.
"Yueying is quite capable. I had her track the assassin, and she saw the assassin meet with Lin Zhengyang with her own eyes. This is already solid evidence."
"Adding to that, what I heard tonight, Lin Zhengyang seems to be seeking control of the Lin family, wanting to seize power from Lin Zhenghai and Lin Qingrou..."
"The problem is, even with solid evidence, I am still an outsider, distant and not close."
"Why should I bring trouble upon myself, only to be mocked or even scolded when I speak out?"
"Never mind, let the moonlight continue to watch over Lin Zhengyang. After all, I am also by the side of the old woman, so nothing major should happen."
Ye Nan pondered repeatedly in his heart, but he didn't know that Lin Qingrou had already completely lost her mind.
Uncle... wants to harm himself in order to seize power?! Ye Nan's words are so convincing that she cannot help but believe them. She suddenly remembered that when she first took over Haiqing, her father and uncle seemed to have had a quarrel.
In addition, Grandpa has always been biased towards himself, and Uncle is very dissatisfied with this... Everything matches up. Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Nan with a complicated expression, and her heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down for a while.
He... has been privately concerned about being targeted by an assassin, and has been working hard for himself. The sadness of disappointing his family and the gratitude for Ye Nan's concern are intertwined in Lin Qingrou's heart, making it difficult for his heart to calm down for a long time.
