Chapter 408 - Si Jins Return 3

Steward Zhang thought internally, ‘Oh State Preceptor, please think of something. Oh Head Grand Secretariat, you think of something too. Although everything is futile in the face of absolute power, if this situation isn’t dealt with properly, everyone in the Qi Residence will be killed!’

Lu Yan sat there, unmoving. The white cat on his shoulder had at some point already jumped off.

It landed on the teapoy at the side and crouched down quietly.

No one noticed that the little white cat spat out nearly imperceptible gold thread from its mouth. Rather than gold thread, it was more like a gold light that was so fine it looked like flashing silk.

Immediately, a silhouette appeared on the roof of the side hall out of thin air.

The youth stood under the sun, his hair dyed a glittering color of brittle gold. He was wearing a white cotton robe, beautiful and resplendent dark gold koi patterns embroidered on the cloth. The youth leaped down from the rooftop.

Steward Zhang was taken aback, while all the guards who were looking over the house were taken aback.

Si Jin rushed to the side hall excitedly. Pushing open the door, he stood at the entrance and looked at Qi Qingyao from afar.

“Sister?”

“Huh?” Qi Qingyao was stunned. Looking at the youth against the backlight, she could not clearly see his face.

Jiang Yeqian’s expression gave a start. “He actually showed up?”

Li Ruoxuan was more concerned about something else. “How did he appear?”

After Gongsun She returned to his senses, he murmured, “Teleportation?” This was not something a grand master could do!

Si Jin strode to the front of Qi Qingyao. The pressure in the air had been dissipated by his arrival.

Qi Qingyao quietly saw Si Jin’s face clearly and then got up excitedly. She touched his face, squeezed his ears, and asked incredulously, “You really showed up?” She was not dreaming, was she?

Si Jin shook his head and said with a smile, “Didn’t you say you miss me? So, I told my grandpa that I needed to come here immediately and he let me.”

“Didn’t you say that your family was in decline?” Where did this grandpa come from? Qi Qingyao asked, stunned.

Qi Qingyao’s words reminded Si Jin that he had no grandfather in the background he previously fabricated. “Ah!” Si Jin exclaimed in embarrassment, then he murmured, “He’s not my real grandpa… he’s just someone that saved me.”

“Oh.” Although his words were vague, Qi Qingyao accepted them since it could very well be some old man he did not know that rescued him. That was not important, however. What was important now was that Si Jin had returned, her savior had returned!!

Qi Qingyao pinched his cheeks again. “Let me have a good look at you.”

Si Jin stood there obediently, letting Qi Qingyao prod and poke him.

Once Qi Qingyao was done pinching the boy’s soft cheeks, she then marveled at how he was still as pure and beautiful as he was from the day they met, and could not help but praise him, “Si Jin is still so cute!”

“Sister, I really missed you,” Si Jin said, his eyes getting wet.

Qi Qingyao pressed Si Jin’s head onto her shoulder consolingly and said, “I also missed you so much. I almost died missing you.”

Jiang Yeqian saw this scene and could not stop his expression from turning ugly. He thought to himself, ‘Was this really the time for you two to be so affectionate with one another?’

Li Ruoxuan noticed something was off beside him and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yeqian’s expression. Ascertaining that his face was indeed filled with jealousy, Li Ruoxuan thought, ‘Was it really wise for you to display your weakness so obviously, Head Grand Secretariat? Looks like the Head Grand Secretariat really loves this little lady!’
