I said it before to discuss some things.

Today, I just want to talk, simply have a heart-to-heart talk.

Perhaps influenced by her, Qin Yiheng finally spoke up: "But the moment I saw you, I knew you were definitely not a simple country woman who was almost scammed in Chongqing."

"Huh? Why?" Luo Jinxiu was genuinely puzzled.

Even though she later realized that Qin Yiheng had indeed harbored suspicions about her for a long time, she still didn't think that she had done anything wrong that would arouse suspicion.

In fact, there are many things that Luo Jinxiu would carefully recall whenever she thought of them.

If Qin Yiheng already suspected that Jiang Yan's motives were not pure, why did he agree to let Jiang Yan bring her home?

Is this a sting operation?

But I didn't manage to grasp any Dharma afterwards!

Or is Qin Yiheng so confident that he can easily resolve whatever I do?

Moreover, when her identity was exposed to Qin Yiheng and Jiang Yan because of Chu Wei and Chu Ruolin, the two of them acted as if to say, "So you are the eldest daughter of the Luo family. You have deceived us."

All I can say is that their acting skills truly impressed Luo Jinxiu.

Putting all that aside, what Qin Yiheng is saying now is: From the first moment he saw me, he knew that I wasn't the helpless country girl I appeared to be—how did he figure that out?

"Because you're not afraid," Qin Yiheng said simply.

Luo Jinxiu paused for a moment, then sighed, "So that's how it is..."

She understood.

As the eldest daughter of the Luo family, she has witnessed things that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine, so her composure is something that ordinary people can't fake.

Similarly, she couldn't fake the discomfort and nervousness that ordinary people feel when they first come to a big city.

Qin Yiheng added, "The ticket scalpers you encountered the other day weren't very professional. What they said was full of holes and not very convincing. As a normal person, even someone from the countryside, you could sense something was off. So their state was definitely one of wanting to believe but not completely daring to believe..."

As he spoke, it was as if time had turned back to the moment of their first encounter.

"Instead of standing there like you, seeing right through him but still not leaving, that can only mean you have other motives."

Hearing this, Luo Jinxiu chuckled for some reason.

"Yes, because I recognized you back then. I had seen your photo at the Luo family's house, so I was absolutely certain. Moreover, the information I received at the time was that 'you and Chu Ruoxue are a couple,' so when I saw you with Jiang Yan, I naturally assumed that you had deceived Jiang Yan."

Looking back on what happened, it's really funny. I thought I was going to uphold justice, and that I was capable enough not to break up a real couple.

"Hmm, you're a good person," Qin Yiheng suddenly commented.

"Hold on, don't suddenly give me some kind of 'friend zone' card, I don't think that's a good thing."

After saying these words, the atmosphere between the two of them strangely eased.

Suddenly, we became like real friends. We just came out together and lived together, so we talked late at night. There was no other ulterior motive.

Qin Yiheng chuckled softly. If that was all there was to it, then the feeling wasn't bad at all.

Even if the two of them don't talk now, they don't have that uncomfortable feeling they had before.

Luo Jinxiu sighed again, "I never expected you to remember our first meeting so clearly..."

"Because your entrance was different, wasn't it?" Qin Yiheng's voice was always soft, steady, and sincere.

I originally thought he would say, "I remember everyone I meet," or "I have a very good memory." I didn't expect to get such a reply. Does that also prove that in Qin Yiheng's heart, I am still somewhat different?

When Luo Jinxiu thought this way, she didn't even realize that this thought itself was humble, and she even found it somewhat sweet.

"I don't think I've formally apologized to you for what happened before."

"No need. I've suspected your identity for a long time, but I didn't say anything. We're even now."

The two were just chatting casually, but they already had a lot to talk about.

If I had known that going out with Qin Yiheng would have this effect, I really should have done it sooner.

But it's not too late now; perhaps this is the best time.

It's not easy to have a few truly compatible friends in one's lifetime.

You don't feel this way when you're a child; the older you get, the more you realize how lonely you are.

So with these conditions, these people, this perfect night, this atmosphere... it's truly intoxicating.

The two chatted like this, starting with things that had happened around them, and then talking about all sorts of things, until they were no longer sleepy. In the end, they had to give up their conversation because it was too late, and went to sleep.

But in reality, even lying on the soft bed, Luo Jinxiu couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.

Whenever she thought about Qin Yiheng sleeping on a makeshift bed next to her, she couldn't help but want to pretend to accidentally roll off the bed and get close to him...

However, the young lady's pride wouldn't allow her to engage in such sycophantic behavior.

Qin Yiheng was relatively free of burdens, and soon his even breathing could be heard.

Luo Jinxiu could only comfort herself, telling herself not to rush things. The two of them had only just come out today, and there would be plenty of time for them to act together again in the future. There would always be a suitable opportunity.

At the very least, at this moment, Qin Yiheng already belongs to her.

Thinking of this, Luo Jinxiu felt a surge of joy again.

But tonight, in a certain moment, Luo Jinxiu suddenly made up her mind—she wanted Qin Yiheng!

Qin Yiheng hadn't expected that just chatting would lead to such a big decision. Moreover, he hadn't expected that not only was Luo Jinxiu unable to sleep at night, but Jiang Yan was also suffering from the same sleepless night.

After seeing Qin Yiheng off at the airport, Jiang Yan went back to the company. She was busy with work during the day and didn't feel too sad. When she got home at night, her mother was with her, which made her feel a little better. However, she and her mother were separated when she went to sleep, so she couldn't help but think about Qin Yiheng.

When Qin Yiheng spoke to her, he mentioned that he had arrived at the hotel, but Jiang Yan was afraid of disturbing his rest, so she didn't say much more.

After tossing and turning for a while, it got even later.
