As Lin Qingyou stepped out, Xiao Xue quickly pulled her away.
“Baby, what did you talk about with your father? Why did it take so long?”
“Baby, come live abroad with your aunt. I’ll take care of you, and I won’t let you suffer even a little.”
Lin Qingyou was touched and suddenly hugged Xiao Xue tightly.
Not long ago, she had made her aunt angry because of Leng Yifeng.
When Aunt Xiao Xue got mad, she was really fierce, saying she wouldn’t care about her anymore.
But every time something happened to her, Aunt Xiao Xue would always rush back.
Xiao Xue was caught off guard by the sudden hug and froze for a second.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just missed you, Auntie. I wanted to hug you.”
Lin Qingyou hugged her even tighter. In her past life, her aunt met a tragic end.
Even after her death, she was slandered and humiliated.
But her aunt was nothing like what they said!
This time, she would protect her.
She would make sure her aunt lived an exciting, dazzling, and regal life.
“Baby, did your dad and stepmother bully you? Did they make you suffer?”
Xiao Xue hugged Lin Qingyou with heartache. “Don’t be afraid, Auntie will protect you.”
“I’ll go teach them a lesson right now!”
Xiao Xue looked around for a suitable weapon and ended up grabbing a watering can.
“I swear, I’ll kill them for bullying my baby!”
“Auntie!” Lin Qingyou quickly stopped her. “Auntie, you misunderstood. I chose to move out; my dad didn’t kick me out.”
“Really?” Xiao Xue eyed her suspiciously. “Then why are you suddenly so clingy?”
Last time, she had been furious when Lin Qingyou ditched her for Leng Yifeng.
Lin Qingyou hugged her again and rubbed against her affectionately. “I told you, I just missed you!”
Xiao Xue enjoyed the affection but still grumbled, “If you ever make me angry again because of that Leng Yifeng, I’ll really beat you up.”
“I won’t, I won’t! I promise I won’t!”
“Really?” Xiao Xue was skeptical.
She had seen it happen too many times.
She knew Lin Qingyou carried deep guilt toward Leng Yifeng, so she understood.
But she still couldn’t help being mad.
To her, it wasn’t Leng Yifeng’s legs that were trapped—it was Lin Qingyou who was truly imprisoned.
Her precious girl should be living her youth freely and happily, not sacrificing herself.
It pained her to watch.
Especially when she realized that Leng Yifeng was subtly manipulating Lin Qingyou, using her guilt to control her.
So she had to stop it.
But Xiao Xue had a fiery temper and spoke bluntly. Every time she tried to warn Lin Qingyou, it would only lead to fights.
Even the strongest bond couldn’t survive endless arguments.
“Auntie, I swear I won’t let Leng Yifeng affect me anymore. He and I are done.” Lin Qingyou even made a vow.
“If that’s the case, then come with me. Let’s go live abroad together.”
Xiao Xue was a woman of action—she grabbed Lin Qingyou and started booking tickets.
“No, no!” Lin Qingyou quickly stopped her.
Xiao Xue narrowed her eyes, as if she knew this would happen.
Lin Qingyou hurriedly explained, “Auntie, I have two important reasons for staying. And neither is because of Leng Yifeng.”
Xiao Xue snorted, unconvinced.
“Auntie, think about it. If I leave, won’t everything in the Lin family fall into Wang Yalan and Lin Qingqing’s hands?”
“Never mind Dad’s luxury hotels—what about Star Entertainment? You and Mom built that company!”
Aunt Xiao Xue had reached the top of the entertainment industry but got bored and quit.
She later became interested in beauty brands and fashion design, neglecting the company.
She even hired a top-tier executive to manage it, forcing Dad to oversee things as well.
Then, she happily ran off to start her new ventures.
“Auntie, thanks to Dad, Lin Qingqing is now the top actress at Star Entertainment. If I leave, the company will definitely end up in her hands.”
In her past life, that executive had been bribed by Wang Yalan.
By the time Auntie realized it, it was too late.
“Auntie, we don’t steal from others, but no one is taking what’s rightfully ours.”
Lin Qingqing had been eyeing Star Entertainment for a long time.
Originally, the top star there was Gu Xi.
But because Lin Qingqing became Dad’s daughter and Lin Qingyou mishandled things, Gu Xi left in disappointment—paying a hefty penalty just to terminate her contract.
After Gu Xi left, Gu Huai also followed.
As a result, Star Entertainment lacked top-tier talent.
Only Lin Qingqing remained, propped up by massive investments.
Xiao Xue fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “And your second reason?”
The second reason? Of course, it was Yin Hanyu.
Thinking of him, Lin Qingyou’s eyes sparkled with joy.
Blushing slightly, she said, “I like Yin Hanyu. I want him to marry me.”
Xiao Xue: “…??!!!”
She choked. “What did you just say?”
Lin Qingyou repeated seriously, “I like Yin Hanyu. I want him to marry me.”
Xiao Xue’s eyes widened again.
Yep, she heard it right.
“Baby…” Xiao Xue circled around Lin Qingyou, inspecting her. “Did you hit your head?”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
“Auntie, how can you say that?” She stomped her foot. “I’m serious!”
“Really?”
“Really, really, really!”
Lin Qingyou added, “I even moved out because of Yin Hanyu.”
Xiao Xue: “…!!!”
Had things already progressed to cohabitation?!
Was her long-time OTP finally becoming real?!
Ahhhhhh!!!
If not for her pride, Xiao Xue would’ve jumped up in excitement.
“Auntie, what’s wrong?”
Why did she look like she wanted to laugh but was holding it in? Like she wanted to cry but couldn’t?
“Auntie…” Lin Qingyou poked her. “Auntie, Auntie?”
Xiao Xue quickly composed herself. “Qingyou, let me ask you again—are you serious?”
“Super serious.” Lin Qingyou smiled. “Auntie, I understand if you don’t believe me.”
“Who said I don’t believe you? I believe! I totally believe!”
This was the couple she had shipped since forever!
She had cried over their supposed tragic end!
“Qingyou, I’m not surprised you like Yin Hanyu.”
“But…”
“But what?”
“But…” Xiao Xue smirked. “You said you want Yin Hanyu to marry you? You emphasized marry?”
“Yeah, what’s the problem?”
Xiao Xue suddenly gave her a thumbs-up, her eyes full of admiration.
“Good, good, good—absolutely no problem! My baby is bold and ambitious! You dare to make the prince marry you?”
“HAHAHAHA…” Xiao Xue laughed heartily. “They call me the queen? No way! You’re the real queen!”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
