Bang! The door was kicked open, and a group of bodyguards rushed in. Ling Hao was so scared when he saw that someone had come to ruin his plans that he almost became impotent. Without even looking at who it was, he started cursing at the door.

One of the bodyguards punched Ling Hao right away, and he immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

"Close your eyes, all of you, come out here." Qin Yin's voice rang out.

The bodyguards did as instructed and left the room.

Qin Yin strode over with his long legs and steady steps.

The manager of Rhine was also following behind, which was quite amusing. Last time, Li Mu was carried over by Qin Yin, who also explained various things to him.

The manager remembered Li Mu, and this time, after seeing Li Mu, the manager called Qin Yin after careful consideration.

The manager was genuinely surprised that Qin Yin actually came after hearing about it.

Qin Yin asked, "Where is Ling Hao?"

A bodyguard replied respectfully that he had been knocked unconscious.

Qin Yin said calmly, "Take him away and lock him up."

After hesitating for a moment, the manager said to Qin Yin, "Boss, this isn't a good idea. Ling Hao is, after all, a member of the Ling family."

Qin Yin waved his hand to stop them, saying there was nothing wrong with it and that they could all leave.

The manager had no choice but to leave, and the bodyguards dragged Ling Hao out quickly, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

As soon as the door closed, the room became much quieter, with only Li Mu's panting and the repeated waves of heat emanating from his body.

Qin Yin looked at the little girl wriggling on the bed and felt inexplicably flustered; his eyes even reddened.

He couldn't help but wonder what the little girl's life would have been like if he hadn't made it in time.

Qin Yin stepped forward and looked at Li Mu, who was still writhing. He felt somewhat helpless and knocked Li Mu unconscious with a single palm strike.

She got up, grabbed a damp towel, and gently wiped Li Mu's sweat.

While unconscious, Li Mu began having nightmares again, constantly calling out Mi Xi's name and flailing his hands.

Qin Yin, who was listening nearby, had originally moved a chair to sit by the window, but Li Mu was very restless while unconscious.

Helpless, he got up and went to the other side of the bed. Leaning against the other side of the bed, he put his arm around Li Mu and pulled her into his arms.

Qin Yin hugged the restless Li Mu tightly, while constantly saying comforting words.

Whether it was Qin Yin's embrace that gave Li Mu a sense of security or the comforting words he spoke, Li Mu actually calmed down.

Qin Yin felt the little girl in his arms gradually calm down, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the little girl was unconscious, she still had so much strength.

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Yin had fallen asleep in this position. He didn't know how much time had passed when he felt the person in his arms move. He opened his eyes and saw Li Mu looking up at him.

Qin Yin spoke in an extremely doting tone, "Awake? Are you feeling unwell, or are you hungry?"

Li Mu stared at Qin Yin with her watery eyes for a long time before she reacted, then got up and broke free from Qin Yin's embrace.

She wanted to ask Qin Yin why he was there and what had happened before she fainted, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Qin Yin saw through the little girl's thoughts and, without keeping her in suspense, said directly, "I came to inspect today and the manager reported to me that you were acting strangely and were forcibly dragged into a room by Ling Hao. I sensed something was wrong and came up here immediately. Nothing happened between you two. He's been taken into custody by my men."

Li Mu felt a chill run down her spine after hearing this. She realized she had been drugged and couldn't remember anything else.

Thinking of something, Li Mu looked at Qin Yin, about to speak but then hesitated.

Qin Yin smiled slightly and said, "I knocked you unconscious. You kept moving in your sleep, and I was afraid you would fall off the bed, so I held you. Maybe I've been a little tired these past few days, because I actually fell asleep."

Qin Yin then said, "I'm sorry, I apologize for my previous offense. I was really afraid you would fall off the bed."

Li Mu said frankly, "Uncle Qin, thank you for saving me once," without mentioning at all that Qin Yin had hugged him.

Li Mu didn't mention this matter, and Qin Yin naturally didn't bring it up again. He looked at his watch and said to Li Mu, "It's getting late, let me take you home."

Li Mu picked up her phone from the bedside table and glanced at the time; it was indeed very late.

At this moment, Qin Yin took a piece of clothing from the table and placed it in front of Li Mu, saying, "Put this on first. I'll wait for you at the door." After saying that, he pushed open the door and went out.

Li Mu then noticed a hole in the corner of her skirt, wondering how I had done it.

She quickly changed into the clothes Qin Yin had prepared, and then opened the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Qin Yin leaning lazily against the wall with his hands in his pockets.

The door was opened and Qin Yin saw Li Mu's voice. She was wearing the dress he had prepared and looked absolutely beautiful.

She smiled slightly at Li Mu and said in a teasing tone, "Let's go. I need to fill your stomach before I take you home. Otherwise, it would seem like I'm being inconsiderate to let you go home hungry."

Li Mu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Not bad, you can even laugh. You're a bit thick-skinned!

Qin Yin led the way, and Li Mu followed behind him like a well-behaved child.

Qin Yin led Li Mu to his private room, where exquisite dishes were already laid out on the table, and the two sat facing each other at the long table.

Qin Yin picked up his knife and fork and carefully cut the steak in front of him. The cuts were even and looked very pleasing. He put the steak in front of Li Mu in front of him, and then put the cut steak in front of Li Mu, as if he had done this countless times.

Li Mu didn't react at all when Qin Yin suddenly took the steak away, and he even accepted the cut steak that Qin Yin placed in front of him with pleasure.

The two didn't speak during the meal, but there was a silent understanding between them. Li Mu looked at the shrimp in front of her, but before she could even touch it, Qin Yin had already peeled them and placed them in front of her, and poured water for her as well.

After dinner, Qin Yin drove Li Mu home. When they arrived at the villa, Li Mu couldn't help but thank Qin Yin again.

Qin Yin said in a helpless tone, "Little girl, you're really long-winded. Hurry up and go back. I'll watch you go back."

Oh right, Li Mu, who was already on her way home, heard the sound and turned to look at Qin Yin.

Qin Yin asked, "Can I handle Ling Hao?"

Li Mu nodded and said nonchalantly, "Of course, Uncle Qin saved me. It's fine as long as you're willing."

"You've met me today. If you hadn't, you'd still have to be more careful in the future, you know?" Qin Yin said in a lecturing tone.

Li Mu obediently agreed, "Uncle Qin, do you have time tomorrow? I'll treat you to something delicious as a way of repaying you, okay?"

Qin Yin said half-jokingly, "Is a meal all you need to repay me?"

Li Mu looked at Qin Yin with wide eyes and said playfully, "What should we do then? Should I offer myself to him?"

Qin Yin was delighted to hear this. He coughed twice and said, "Go back now, and remember to treat me to dinner tomorrow."

Li Mu agreed and went home.

Qin Yin watched Li Mu go home before turning back to his own villa.
