This was the first time Xu Nanhe brought Qin Zhiyu to the Xu Manor. If there’s a first time, there will be a second. Qin Zhiyu wanted a slow and steady approach, not caring about this moment.

Although Xu Nanhe would protect her, an arm couldn’t twist a thigh after all. Going against her future mother-in-law so quickly wasn’t wise.

Besides, if she left now, Xu Nanhe would definitely feel more sorry for her, and that would achieve her goal.

“No,” Xu Nanhe, however, seemed to have gone mad, pulling Qin Zhiyu behind him.

Perhaps he was stimulated by Fu Yunyi’s slap in front of Qin Buwan earlier.

“Qin Buwan, she’s already like this! Do you have to be so unforgiving?!” Xu Nanhe turned to Qin Buwan, rebuking in a deep voice.

“???” Qin Buwan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Did Xu Nanhe even hear what he was saying?

She hadn’t said a single word so far, had she? How was she wrong even breathing now?

Seeing the conflict directed at Qin Buwan, which suited her intentions, Qin Zhiyu said in a loud voice, “Sister didn’t do anything wrong, Nanhe-gege, don’t be so fierce with her.”

While speaking, she broke free from Xu Nanhe’s hand, acting uneasy and anxious. “Don’t argue anymore, I’ll just leave.”

“Hold on,” before Qin Zhiyu could move, Qin Buwan suddenly stopped her.

Qin Zhiyu looked at her blankly.

She appeared somewhat panicked, but at this moment, she hoped Qin Buwan would act up as before, go crazy, preferably slap her a few times, making Qin Buwan seem even more unreasonable.

Qin Buwan looked at her with a smile that wasn’t a smile, and slowly walked up to her.

“Qin Buwan, I…” Xu Nanhe tried to block her.

However, Qin Buwan simply reached out and gently touched Qin Zhiyu’s head, saying earnestly, “Since you’re not feeling well, then stay at the Xu Manor. They have professional medical equipment here, and Xu Nanhe is also a doctor. He will take good care of you.”

After speaking, she turned to Fu Yunyi and said, “Aunt, are you here to see Grandma?”

Xu Nanhe stood rooted to the spot, looking at Qin Buwan’s departing back with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

She had changed.

In the past, he had hoped that Qin Buwan would be as quiet as possible. He didn’t understand why she wasn’t satisfied when the position of Mrs. Xu was already hers. She was too domineering and wanted too much, which annoyed him.

But Qin Buwan had been too calm from start to finish today, even making him feel like he didn’t recognize her.

He didn’t know what kind of feeling his complex emotions were at this moment, but he didn’t like this feeling.

Qin Zhiyu also didn’t expect Qin Buwan to pull such a stunt. In the past few months, every time she made a move, Qin Buwan would make a scene without fail, with perfect accuracy, but why was she like this today?

Qin Zhiyu felt like she had punched cotton, uncomfortable, yet with nowhere to vent.

Especially when she saw Xu Nanhe staring at Qin Buwan’s back.

“Nanhe-gege, were those words Sister said just now a threat to me? Then I…” She pursed her lips, put away the unwillingness in her eyes, and immediately reached out to gently tug on Xu Nanhe’s sleeve.

Xu Nanhe turned to look at her and gently coaxed, “It’s okay, just rest here for one night, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Xu Nanhe meant that she should leave tomorrow.

For Qin Buwan’s sake, to take care of Qin Buwan’s feelings, he was actually telling her to leave tomorrow?!

Qin Zhiyu’s pupils trembled slightly, and a layer of hazy mist immediately filled her eyes.

“Nanhe-gege, it’s okay, as long as you don’t let me suffer any more grievances for you, my face…”

“Cackling all day long, are you a hen?” Just then, a teasing voice came from above.

Xu Nanhe looked up and saw that Fu Yunshang had arrived at some point, leaning against the glass window frame on the second-floor balcony, in a slightly leisurely state, probably having watched the drama for a while.

Seeing Fu Yunshang, Qin Zhiyu’s face changed drastically, and she subconsciously hid behind Xu Nanhe.

This woman was too terrifying. Last night, if she hadn’t been careful and notified Xu Nanhe in advance, she would have been finished!

In the face of absolute disparity in strength, she still had self-awareness.

Xu Nanhe also didn’t know that Fu Yunshang would come today, and forced himself to call out, “Little Uncle.”

Fu Yunshang didn’t respond, just glanced back and forth between him and Qin Zhiyu.

Both were injured and didn’t look good, but Qin Buwan just stood there stubbornly looking at him without speaking, giving off a sense of fragility, like a wounded little rabbit, making people feel pity.

Although Qin Zhiyu also looked pitiful on her own, when the two stood together, the contrast was obvious, making people feel like she fell far short, making people feel disgusted and pretentious.

Fu Yunshang couldn’t help but sneer and said to Xu Nanhe, “Do you think I’ve eaten too much fine food and want to eat chaff?”

Although he didn’t say anything explicitly, these words were simply a great humiliation for a woman!

Qin Zhiyu’s face turned red in an instant, but since the person in front of her was Fu Yunshang, she dared not be angry and could only swallow her anger.

Xu Nanhe certainly knew what he meant, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Qin Zhiyu.

She really wasn’t comparable to Qin Buwan.

Qin Zhiyu was petite, a little over 1.55 meters tall. No matter how good her proportions or how slender her figure, her head still looked large. Even sick like this, her head still looked large.

Qin Buwan was 1.68 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. Even when sick, her movements were like a weak willow leaning in the wind, Qin Zhiyu was even less comparable.

But he felt more pity for Qin Zhiyu. They really hadn’t done anything too outrageous. On the contrary, Qin Buwan was his future wife, his facade. When Fu Yunshang said that, he didn’t think much of it.

With Fu Yunshang here, it was the greatest danger. Xu Nanhe didn’t say anything, just turned back to Qin Zhiyu and said, “Let’s go, you take me to rest first.”

Qin Zhiyu wasn’t blind. She saw Xu Nanhe’s appraisal and guessed what he was thinking.

She bit her lip silently and nodded.

As she turned around, the corner of her eye caught Fu Yunshang staring at her, his eyes piercing. She was so frightened that she let out a small cry and immediately followed Xu Nanhe closely.

Only after she walked out of Fu Yunshang’s sight did she quietly take a long breath.

She walked quickly for two steps and gently grabbed Xu Nanhe’s hand, saying, “Nanhe-gege, it seems like… Aunt has a lot of prejudice against me.”

Xu Nanhe withdrew his hand without batting an eye and replied perfunctorily, “It’s okay, she’s just because she doesn’t understand you.”

While speaking, he looked back at the place where Fu Yunshang had been standing, but it was already empty.

Fu Yunshang turned back and walked into the house. Xu Nanhe’s second uncle smiled at him and said, “Yunshang, you seem to like teasing that Qin family girl? Are you so attentive to her? Do you like her?”

Men are like this, the more they don’t care about him, the more he wants to get her.

Fu Yunshang chuckled and replied casually, “Yes, yes, yes, whatever Second Brother Xu says is what it is.”
