“So, Master, are you really the First Duke of E Country, Ji Mo Sheng?”
Lin Qingyou alternated between covering her eyes in disbelief and uncovering them to check again.
She still couldn’t believe it!!
This was the Regent of the present era!!!
A living legend.
Not just any legend, but the most mysterious figure among them all.
Yet at this very moment, this legendary man, fearing that Lin Qingyou would be angry, hurriedly tried to explain in a flustered manner:
“Xiao Youzi, I really didn’t mean to hide it from you. My identity is special, and there are just too many people who want to kill me…”
As Ji Mo Sheng spoke, Yin Hanyu and Ming Yu exchanged a silent glance.
Wasn’t that the truth?
Out of the five people in this room, two wanted him dead.
“That’s why I use different identities all over the place.” Ji Mo Sheng looked at Lin Qingyou pitifully. “You wouldn’t want your master to be assassinated, right?”
“Of course not!”
Lin Qingyou slammed the table with a fierce expression. “Who dares to kill my master? I’ll twist their head off and use it as a ball to kick!”
Yin Hanyu quickly took a sip of water to calm his nerves: “…”
Ming Yu silently turned his head away: “…”
“So, Xiao Youzi, please don’t be mad at your master, okay?”
“Okay!”
Lin Qingyou’s eyes lit up as she looked at Ji Mo Sheng again and asked excitedly, “Master, are you really the legendary Regent?”
Before Ji Mo Sheng could answer, Lin Qingyou immediately latched onto his arm like an eager puppy, holding onto him tightly. “Master~ From now on, you have to protect me!”
“Of course, who else would I protect if not you?”
But Ji Mo Sheng still felt a little guilty, as if he had committed a crime. “Xiao Youzi, you’re really not mad? If you are, you have to tell me, okay? Don’t bottle it up.”
“Why would I be mad?” Lin Qingyou grinned. “I just gained another big backer—this is a great thing! I’m so happy! Come, come, my dearest Master, please take the seat of honor!”
Ji Mo Sheng was both amused and speechless: “…”
This little bootlicker.
“Hmph, bootlicking…” Yin Yixuan scoffed coldly with a sarcastic tone.
Immediately, four pairs of eyes, eight in total, turned to glare at him with killing intent.
Yin Yixuan quickly shrank back.
He couldn’t afford to offend them before, and now he definitely couldn’t afford to offend them.
Sure enough, Lin Qingyou pointed at Yin Yixuan. “Master, he’s bullying me!”
Ji Mo Sheng instantly slammed the table and stood up.
Yin Yixuan took two steps back in alarm.
“Yin… Yin Yi…?” Ji Mo Sheng seemed to be recalling his name.
Back then, Yin Tianzheng had bragged about his grandson to him, but Ji Mo Sheng had only responded politely and hadn’t taken it to heart.
So now, he actually couldn’t quite remember Yin Yixuan’s name.
“Oh… I remember now. Yin Yixuan, right?”
Yin Yixuan nodded.
Ji Mo Sheng’s blue eyes narrowed dangerously. “You bullied my Xiao Youzi?”
“No… I didn’t…” Yin Yixuan frantically waved his hands and stepped back again.
But since the private room wasn’t very large, he soon found himself with nowhere to retreat and nearly tripped over the trash can.
“Hahahaha…” Lin Qingyou burst out laughing at Yin Yixuan’s pathetic state and collapsed onto Yin Hanyu. “Baobao, if your grandfather dares to look down on me again, I’ll have my master deal with him!”
“What did you say?”
Ji Mo Sheng immediately caught onto her words. “You said that old man Yin Tianzheng looks down on you?”
“That doesn’t make sense…” Ji Mo Sheng frowned. “Wasn’t he the one desperately trying to marry off his precious grandson to me?”
Yin Yixuan, who had been offered in marriage: “…”
Why say it like that? Did he not care about his dignity?
Besides, his grandfather never specified who his “precious little princess” was!
His grandfather also had no idea how important Lin Qingyou was to him…
Wait a minute—
Suddenly, Yin Yixuan realized something!
His gaze darted back and forth between Ji Mo Sheng and Lin Qingyou.
Heaven help him—don’t tell him that the “precious little princess” his grandfather had intended for him to marry was actually Lin Qingyou?!?!
After all, according to the information he had…
Ji Mo Sheng only had a son, no daughter.
But back then, he had assumed that Ji Mo Sheng had just hidden his daughter too well.
“Master, do you have a daughter?” Lin Qingyou’s eyes sparkled. If her master was so good-looking, his daughter must be stunning!
She loved beautiful people.
“What daughter?” Ji Mo Sheng’s voice was filled with regret. “I wish! I don’t have that kind of luck.”
“Then why did you say Old Master Yin was sending his grandson to be your son-in-law?”
Ji Mo Sheng replied, “That was years ago. Old Master Yin invited me to visit the Yin family. While we were chatting, he suddenly wanted to form a marriage alliance.”
Ji Mo Sheng looked at Yin Yixuan. “At the time, I thought he looked passably presentable.”
“Passably presentable?” Yin Yixuan pointed to his handsome face. “What do you mean, passably presentable?”
He was widely recognized as a top-tier heartthrob!
Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes at him. “Even my Baobao is just so-so—passably presentable isn’t an insult to you.”
Yin Hanyu: “…”
Yin Yixuan: “…”
“I just thought you two could get to know each other.” Ji Mo Sheng continued with a look of disdain. “Xiao Youzi, to be honest, I really can’t stand that Leng Yifeng.”
He absolutely refused to let his beloved disciple be tied down to Leng Yifeng, that crooked tree.
Unfortunately… unfortunately!
So when Old Master Yin proposed the idea, Ji Mo Sheng immediately felt it was a good opportunity for Lin Qingyou to broaden her horizons.
After all, Yin Yixuan was passably good-looking.
Leng Yifeng, on the other hand, was someone he could never find pleasing to the eye.
Since he had no daughter, he had always treated Lin Qingyou like one.
He desperately hoped she could move on from Leng Yifeng.
“Master, so what you’re saying is…”
Lin Qingyou’s eyes widened like saucers!!!
Yin Yixuan’s eyes widened like a bull’s!!!
He had guessed right, hadn’t he?!
So back then…
Lin Qingyou and Yin Yixuan immediately turned to each other with matching expressions of disgust and spat at the same time: “Tui!”
Their heads instantly turned in opposite directions, with their eyes glancing in completely different ones.
Meanwhile, Yin Hanyu and Ming Yu exchanged another glance.
Their faces were full of silent expletives.
Ji Mo Sheng: “…”
What was going on???
He had traveled far and wide, seen all sorts of people and events…
But right now, he couldn’t make sense of the expressions on these four young people’s faces at all.
All he did was try to set up Lin Qingyou with Yin Yixuan.
Later, when he casually mentioned it, Lin Qingyou firmly refused, unwilling to even meet Yin Yixuan, so he had let it go.
“What’s wrong with you all?” Ji Mo Sheng finally gave up and asked directly. “Stand up and answer my question.”
Yin Hanyu was the first to stand. “I am Qingyou’s partner. Master, please don’t randomly arrange marriages anymore.”
Yin Yixuan was the second to stand. “As much as I hate to admit it, Yin Hanyu is my biological older brother.”
“Huh…???” Ji Mo Sheng was dumbfounded. He looked at Lin Qingyou. “So you became his sister-in-law?”
Yin Yixuan: “…”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
Things had taken a bizarre turn.
“Hahahahaha… HAHAHAHAHA!!!”
Ji Mo Sheng burst into laughter. “This is even better. The elder brother looks much more pleasing to the eye. Don’t your people say ‘the elder brother is like a father, and the elder sister-in-law is like a mother’? Xiao Youzi, since you can’t be his wife, you can just treat him like your son and bully him as much as you want!”
Lin Qingyou: “…” !!!
Yin Yixuan: “…” ???
