Chapter 27: Yoyo, the Man You Want is Knocking on Your Door

“Baby, how about taking me to your apartment to have a look?”

Xiao Xue tried her best to maintain her usual demeanor, but she just couldn’t suppress the grin creeping onto her face.

Ahhhhhhh! She was finally going to see her favorite CP living together!

Wait a minute. Should she hide under the bed? Or in the corner of the room?

Ahhhhhhh! So exciting!

Lin Qingyou initially thought Xiao Xue wanted to check out her living conditions out of concern.

But the more she observed, the more she felt something was off.

Why was her aunt secretly laughing?

And that smile… how to describe it?

Shady.

Yes.

Shady.

Lin Qingyou couldn’t believe that one day, she would actually describe her aunt’s smile as shady.

After all, her aunt was famously gorgeous.

Back when she was a superstar, she was the embodiment of the phrase “one smile, a hundred charms.”

The entertainment industry wasn’t short of beauties, but many of them didn’t dare to smile too much.

Yet, her aunt could smile however she wanted and still be breathtakingly stunning.

And now, this dazzling beauty was smiling so… shadily?

What’s wrong with the world???

Doubting her own eyes, Lin Qingyou rubbed them quickly.

Nope, she wasn’t seeing things.

Her aunt’s smile was getting even shadier.

“Aunt…” Lin Qingyou suddenly patted Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue was startled. “Yoyo, why did you… sneak attack me?”

Lin Qingyou: “…”

“Sneak attack?” Lin Qingyou squinted. “Aunt, what were you just thinking?”

Xiao Xue quickly pulled herself out of her CP fantasies. She was just about to say that she was disturbed.

Disturbed from all her daydreaming.

“Aunt, why do you look so excited?”

“How could I not be excited? I’ve been waiting for so long for you—”

“For what?”

“For you… to grow up.”

Xiao Xue patted Lin Qingyou’s shoulder. “Yoyo, you did well. You did an amazing job. I fully support you moving out.”

Lin Qingyou: “…”

Aunt, half an hour ago, you didn’t say that.

When you first found out I moved out, you nearly killed my dad.

Lin Qingyou opened the door and gestured inside. “Aunt, please come in.”

Xiao Xue excitedly jumped inside.

But the next second, her smile froze.

Because after scanning the entire place, she didn’t see Yin Hanyu.

Xiao Xue immediately ran to check the bedroom and the bathroom.

Still, no Yin Hanyu.

Her excitement instantly deflated. “Baby, where’s that brat Yin Hanyu?”

Lin Qingyou blurted out, “He lives across the hall.”

“Across the hall?” Xiao Xue looked disappointed. “So you two aren’t living together?”

Lin Qingyou: “…” ??

Living together? She wished!

But she hadn’t won him over yet!

“Baby, what’s going on with you two?” Xiao Xue’s curiosity reached its peak.

Her CP was finally back together.

She had to protect it!

Yin Hanyu, that brat, what is he doing?!

The girl is right in front of him, and he’s not making a move?!

Could it be… that Yin Hanyu can’t?

At that thought, Xiao Xue was about to storm over and question him.

He better not be all looks and no action!

Just as she reached the door, she heard Lin Qingyou say—

“It’s just… just…” Lin Qingyou frowned. “I’m still in the pursuit stage.”

“Pursuit stage?” Xiao Xue halted and turned back. “That brat has liked you since childhood. You still need to chase him?”

“Aunt, it’s not that simple,” Lin Qingyou sighed. “I hurt him a lot before.”

“That’s true…”

Xiao Xue suddenly felt sympathy for Yin Hanyu.

Even as her aunt, she had been frustrated when Lin Qingyou constantly ditched plans for Leng Yifeng.

Imagine how Yin Hanyu must’ve felt, watching the girl he loved run after another guy over and over again.

Xiao Xue sat down and held Lin Qingyou’s hand. “Baby, Yin Hanyu might seem cold, but he’s warm inside. He’s a great match for you—don’t let him slip away.”

“It’s okay for a girl to take the initiative, as long as he’s worth it.”

“Aunt, you really like him, huh?” It was the first time Lin Qingyou had seen her aunt approve of a man.

Because normally, her aunt treated men like trash.

“I like him because I know he’d risk his life to protect you.”

“I know…”

Lin Qingyou’s eyes stung. Her heart clenched.

But in her last life, she realized it far too late.

This time, she wouldn’t let regrets repeat themselves.

“Aunt, I’ll definitely win him over and make him willingly marry me.”

Xiao Xue burst out laughing.

“By the way, Aunt, you’re experienced in love. Teach me some tricks!”

“What, are you mocking me?”

“No, no, Aunt~ I’m serious!”

Her aunt had dated countless powerful men.

Back when she was in her prime, she supposedly juggled multiple relationships at once.

The media slandered her endlessly, calling her every name under the sun.

But instead of criticizing her, her exes defended her.

Many even admitted they still loved her.

“Hmm…” Xiao Xue composed herself and beckoned Lin Qingyou closer.

Lin Qingyou eagerly leaned in, ready to take notes.

Xiao Xue smirked. “The secret is—I’m beautiful and rich.”

Lin Qingyou: “…”

What a powerful reason.

Beauty? She had that.

Money?

She wasn’t poor, but Yin Hanyu was way richer!

Looks like she needed to work harder.

After all, marrying someone required a dowry.

And she was marrying the prince.

Ahhhh, how much dowry should she prepare?!

“No!” Lin Qingyou suddenly jumped up from the couch. “I can’t just sit around!”

Xiao Xue was startled. “What’s wrong, baby?”

Lin Qingyou declared, “Starting tomorrow, I’m going to focus on making money and building my career!”

“Huh…?” Xiao Xue was confused.

Lin Qingyou turned to her. “Aunt, I’m taking over Star Entertainment. Fire whoever you hired—I’m becoming the CEO.”

Xiao Xue: “Why? Being a CEO is exhausting!”

Lin Qingyou: “Why else? I need money, a career, and a man!”

Xiao Xue: “…”

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Xue rushed to open it.

When she saw who was outside, her shady grin returned.

“Yoyo, the man you want just delivered himself to your door!”

She stepped back three meters. “Take your time. I’m out.”

Lin Qingyou: “…”
