âIâll stay with you.â Qin Youxuan spoke softly, turning to look at Dan Hanjie, âIf you have other things to do, go ahead, Iâll wait for Yaya to wake up.â
She had too many questions on her mind, she couldnât just pretend nothing was wrong and go back with him.
ââ¦â
Dan Hanjieâs eyes slightly shimmered, his tall figure standing against the light, his deep black eyes looking at her.
Ah, seriously, what was Grandfather thinking? Why did he have to invite the granddaughters of his friends to come home and study with her?
They were just here to share her misery!
Luckily, there was the pleasing First Son to look at, otherwise, she would have gone crazy listening to those boring heavenly books every day.
Lin Qingluo glanced at the three dispirited girls from the generalâs family with sympathy, sighed quietly, and focused on the lecture.
*
On the 16th day of the first month, Lin Jinyu took his four brothers, bade farewell to their elders, and returned to Mystic Canyon.
Feng Yi accompanied his mother and sister on the journey, escorting them back.
Wang Meng and Shitou stayed behind, responsible for supervising the six young boysâ martial arts training in the Dukeâs residence.
Little Twelve and Little Thirteen also happily joined the martial arts training under their brothersâ lead.
The two young boys imitated their brothersâ movements, practicing the Lin Clanâs basic martial arts techniques. Their clumsy and cute appearance made the entire Martial Arts Arena burst into laughter.
Once the New Year passed, Lin Yixuan couldnât stay in the palace any longer, so he sneaked out of the palace under various pretenses and came to Duke of Zhenâs residence to practice martial arts with Wang Meng and Shitou.
During her breaks from studying, Lin Qingluo also came to the Martial Arts Arena to stretch her body and teach the teenagers.
With her brothers away, she was the eldest sister.
The six younger brothers were very obedient.
Whenever their sister came to the Martial Arts Arena, they would joyfully gather around her, like six happy little horses, frolicking around her.
Little Eight Lin Jinhao was eleven years old, and Little Nine Lin Jinlei was ten. The two believed their martial arts skills were top-notch among the brothers, so they often entangled their sister to spar with them when their brothers were not around.
Pretending to learn from each other, they couldnât even touch the corner of their sisterâs clothes.
However, the two were not discouraged and became more motivated after every failure, displaying the Lin Clanâs characteristic fearless spirit.
**
Wei Shumin was very considerate and grateful for Lin Qingluoâs kindness to her. She took great care of her little mistressâs diet and daily life.
Lin Qingluo often joked with her, saying that a ten-year-old girl was worrying like a thirty-year-old aunt.
If one didnât know better, they would think she was her sister!
Zizhu was still as carefree as ever, following Wei Shumin around every day, happily circling around her mistress.
Her simple and honest smile made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable.
With the company of the two maids, Lin Qingluo had given up on the idea of selecting new maids. She clearly told her grandmother and mother that the two girls were enough and that there was no need to add more people.
The old lady initially disagreed, feeling heartache for her granddaughter.
However, when her beloved granddaughter displayed a sweet smile and called her grandmother sweetly, her heart would melt instantly.
All her reluctance was left behind, and she held onto her precious granddaughter tightly, not wanting to let go.
Ye Xueâe knew her daughter was right and let her make her own decisions without imposing any restrictions.
Thus, the matter of choosing new maids for the Fluttering Snow Residence came to an end.
From then on, Wei Shumin and Zizhu, as first-class maids, stayed at the Fluttering Snow Residence and served by Lin Qingluoâs side.
Before Qin Youxuan could finish speaking, he had already turned around and decisively walked away.
âYou should follow him. This incident has nothing to do with Jie. If Jie took action, that old man wouldnât survive,â Jiang Jinchen pushed the camera into Qin Youxuanâs hands, his lips parting slightly.
His indifferent tone was veiled with gritted teeth, as if he already knew who the culprit was.
ââ¦I really want to wait for Yaya, itâs not because Iâm upset with him. Yaya couldnât have just gotten knocked out for no reason. Whoever itâs aimed at, we need to find out, right?â
Why were they all so calm?
As if as long as the person was fine, there was no need to investigate further.
Qin Youxuan gritted her teeth; her heart still felt uneasy.
âNothing is more important than her well-being, everything else we can slowly investigate. Donât forget why you came here today. Now you have driven him away, this is putting the cart before the horse,â Jiang Jinchen looked at her with amusement.
âYayaâ¦â
âIâll take care of her.â Jiang Jinchen interrupted her, clearly dismissing her.
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan looked at him deeply, her cat-like eyes shining, âI donât care what you are hiding from me, but Iâm telling you, if anything happens to Yaya, I wonât let you off.â
âIâll seek justice for her.â Jiang Jinchenâs eyes harbored a chilling look.
Hearing this, Qin Youxuan finally unclenched her fist and turned to run in the direction where Dan Hanjie disappeared.
She ran nonstop to the parking lot at Guanlan Lake Scenic Area.
She couldnât see his figure anywhere.
Frantically taking out her phone, she dialed his number. The phone rang, but no one answered.
Qin Youxuanâs heart was sinking bit by bitâ¦
Just when Dan Hanjie finally seemed to become a little more normal, she pushed him away again.
Now heâs not even answering her calls, is he going to drive her away againâ¦
Qin Youxuan kept redialing his number.
Suddenly, she realized there seemed to be a vibration sound near her ear and subconsciously turned her head.
Dan Hanjie was standing on the steps not even ten meters away from her, holding his phone. Her incoming call displayed on the screen. His gaze was fixed directly on her.
His thin lips were tightly shut, he didnât say a word, nor call her back, or seemed to plan on answering her call.
âDan Hanjie.â
Qin Youxuan hung up the call, turned around and ran towards him, throwing herself forcefully into his arms.
Her arms tightly around him, âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry⦠I was just too worried about Yaya. Sheâs my only friend, Iâm so scared sheâll get hurt because of meâ¦â
âI didnât mean to blame you, Iâm just scared, really scared that Yayaâs incident has something to do with you. I canât hate youâ¦â
Qin Youxuan, petite in stature, curled into his chest, feeling the coldness of his body, explaining in a frantic tone.
ââ¦â
Dan Hanjieâs body stiffened, looking down at her in disbelief.
