Chapter 416

It didn't matter where they celebrated or how they celebrated; the important thing was being together, that's what he meant.

Qiao Ying looked at him.

Qin Yuchen: It takes confidence to speak with such certainty~

Qin Hanyue told her, "My parents have already prepared dinner according to your taste." He spoke kindly.

Qin Yuchen: He's really confident, even "coercing" me.

Qin Hanyue looked sincere, with a hint of ambiguity, and said, "Would you do me the honor of having a meal, Miss Qiao?"

Qiao Ying glanced at him without responding and went straight to the back seat.

Qin Hanyue smiled and followed suit, closing the car door.

The car headed towards the Qin family.

The night fell quickly, and when the car arrived at the entrance of the Qin elderly couple's residence in the Qin family, it was time for dinner.

The people inside heard the car sound and hurried out to greet them.

Qin Hanyue led the person inside.

He saw Qin Yuchen supporting Qin Old Lady as she came out.

The latter met his gaze, respectfully calling out to him, "Third Uncle," inevitably being caught by the marks on Qin Hanyue's neck.

Qin Yuchen averted his gaze and then added, "...Miss Qiao." His gaze also followed to look at Qiao Ying but quickly withdrew it.

It was just that, in the presence of his Third Uncle, Qin Yuchen's calling Qiao Ying sounded somewhat awkward and uncomfortable, and his eyes were restrained.

Qin Hanyue responded to him neither warmly nor coldly, then immediately spoke warmly to Qiao Ying, "Let's have dinner later. Take off your scarf."

He proceeded to take off Qiao Ying's scarf.

And then Qiao Ying's neck, which had twice as many marks as Qin Hanyue's, was exposed, so many that at first glance, it looked like she was injured, which scared Qin Yuchen, who didn't dare to look again.

Afraid that his Third Uncle would be unhappy.

Upon seeing the marks of affection between the two, Qin Old Madam's heart bloomed with joy. Her approving gaze shifted to Qin Hanyue, as if praising herself for raising a son who matured early.

Qiao Ying, however, casually said, "No ambition."

Some elder who was in a dilemma pretended not to hear and said, "Let's go and eat."

Qin Yuchen couldn't bear a moment longer and didn't dare to eat at the same table. The shadow of eating at the same table last time still lingered.

Thinking back to that time, it seemed like everything was just yesterday, but his Third Uncle, who had brought back a beauty, was already different from before.

Qiao Ying, who was about to become his Third Aunt from his lifesaver Qiao classmate... Qin Yuchen's mood... was hard to put into words.

"Grandfather, grandmother, Third Uncle, I'm going back first."

Qin Hanyue looked at him, "Not staying to eat together?"

This tone clearly indicated that he didn't really want him to stay and eat.

Qin Yuchen said, "You all eat. My father still has some work to do and won't make it back for dinner. I'll go accompany my mother."

Afraid of not being able to refuse the elders, Qin Yuchen found a reason to decline.

Qin Hanyue said, "You're not young anymore. You can find a girlfriend to accompany your parents."

Qin Yuchen never imagined that one day his Third Uncle, who was indifferent to everything except work, would care about his marriage matters. This "special favor," he really didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Qin Yuchen said, "...I'll do my best."

Qin Yuchen hurriedly escaped from this troublesome place.

Qin Old Madam took Qiao Ying to have a meal and asked, "Where did you go for your trip? Did you have a good time?"

Qiao Ying replied, "C Country, it was alright."

After dinner, Qin Hanyue took his people back to his own residence.

From a distance, Qiao Ying saw that there were three top-tier sports cars of different colors parked at the entrance of Qin Hanyue's villa.

The car doors and roofs were wide open, as if waiting for someone to come and admire them. It was obvious that these were not guests visiting the house.

Qiao Ying slowed down her footsteps as she approached and stopped in front of the sports cars.

Qin Hanyue asked, "Do you like them?"

Qiao Ying replied, "No need to go out of your way."

Qin Hanyue helplessly said, "It's a gift."

Qiao Ying raised an eyebrow and looked at him, asking, "Apology gift or holiday gift?"

Qin Hanyue said, "If you accept it as an apology gift, then it's compensation. I'll prepare a holiday gift if you don't accept it."

If she doesn't accept it, then it's a holiday gift.

Qiao Ying seemed to snort coldly, her voice very soft.

Qin Hanyue said, "These are the latest models of sports cars. I don't know which color you would like, so I bought them all."

"I don't have much knowledge about sports cars, and I'm not very familiar with their performance in various aspects. I hope this sports car isn't just flashy but lacks substance."

Qiao Ying looked at them and said, "It's good if it can be modified."

Qin Hanyue replied, "That's good then."

Qiao Ying asked him, "Why are you giving me a sports car?"

Qin Hanyue answered, "Among the things that you are interested in and often use, the price of a sports car can barely be afforded as a gift."

Qin Hanyue continued, "You said you like expensive things."

Whether it's sincere or just a polite gesture to Lin Gu, it's always right to buy according to Qiao Ying's preferences.

After hearing what he said, Qiao Ying's mouth twitched, as if she was smiling.

She walked inside and said, "Put it in the garage."

Qin Hanyue felt delighted in his heart and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand.

Qiao Ying, feeling a bit sleepy, went upstairs and entered the bathroom. After taking a shower and coming out, she saw Qin Hanyue sitting on the sofa in the pajamas that should have been in the adjacent room. No, this room was originally where Qin Hanyue slept.

Upon hearing her come out, Qin Hanyue stood up. It seemed like he had been waiting for a while with the hairdryer in his hand.

His behavior was very unnatural, making Qiao Ying couldn't help but imagine that he had racked his brains and exhausted all means to find a reason to enter her room while he was taking a shower. He couldn't wait after showering and came over.

As soon as he entered, he took out the hairdryer and prepared it.

Not only that, he might have even demonstrated it in the room himself—whether it was better to sit or stand, or to pretend to calmly look at his phone and greet her naturally when she came out.

If that were the case, it would be really silly.

Qiao Ying looked at him with both eyes, her hand drying her hair without stopping, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qin Hanyue held the hairdryer and said, "I came to see if you need anything. Now it seems that you do."

Qiao Ying went to the bedside to pick up her phone and said, "Hurry up, I'm tired."

Qin Hanyue quickly responded, "Alright."

He skillfully blow-dried her hair while Qiao Ying checked the message sent by Moon Shadow and confirmed that Lin Cheng was still alive.

Qin Hanyue asked, "How is it going with Lin Cheng?"

Qiao Ying replied, "The engagement banquet will be held in ten days."

Qin Hanyue: "Will Diamond J take action? Wouldn't it be too obvious at this point?"

Qiao Ying: "He has already taken action."

Qin Hanyue: "How is Lin Cheng doing?"

Qiao Ying: "He's still alive. Diamond J probably didn't initially intend to kill Lin Cheng. If I were him, I would have eliminated Lin Cheng first to tie up loose ends."

Qin Hanyue: "It's not about kindness; it's about not considering Lin Cheng a threat. He's resorting to drastic measures now because of your appearance, so he must be regretting it."

Qin Hanyue: "Once Lin Cheng is dealt with, the next target will be the entire royal family."

Qin Hanyue: "He's taking a desperate gamble now. It's also possible that he has enough forces within the royal family to support his rebellion."

Qiao Ying likes talking to intelligent people; it saves time and effort.

Qiao Ying: "He probably wants to end things quickly now to avoid prolonging the situation. If I suddenly disappear, he might strike against Lin Cheng at any time within these ten days."
