Inside the room, Ruan Qing'an was leaning against the bed, holding a psychology book in her hands. When she heard the heavy sound of the door closing, she didn't even frown.

“Young Master Qin Yue, you really have no manners at all, but I’m not surprised at all.”

"Stop talking nonsense!"

In front of Ruan Qing'an, Qin Yue almost revealed his worst side. He strode forward and said, "Ruan Qing'an, don't pretend I don't know what happened last night!"

Seeing Qin Yue's accusatory look, Ruan Qing'an sneered. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that her phone, which was lying to the side, suddenly lit up.

037 explained in a timely manner: "[Ancestor, we just detected that your phone has automatically turned on its microphone, meaning it's being monitored.]"

That can only be Qin Xi; no one in the entire villa has been able to wrest control of these things from him...

Ruan Qing'an's leaden eyes darkened slightly as she put the book aside. "Young Master Qin Yue, everyone in the villa knows about this. No one intends to keep it from you."

"You fucking know what I'm talking about, Ruan Qing'an. Don't play dumb with me. I brought you to the Qin family villa not so you could take Qin Xi out to play or get him medical treatment!"

Qin Yue was completely enraged. He felt as if he had been fooled, and that he had been doing nothing all this time. He had been dealing with Qin Cheng at hNw Company all this time.

If he hadn't returned to the Qin family villa today and heard about what happened last night from the servants, Qin Yue would still be completely in the dark!

He stepped forward and grabbed Ruan Qing'an by the collar, his face contorted and grotesque: "Ruan Qing'an, what I want is for you to make Qin Xi's illness worse, not to treat him!"

"You bitch, don't forget who brought you here. If it weren't for me, Qin Yue, you'd be in some corner of the slums, being tortured beyond recognition by debt collectors!"

Seeing Qin Yue's appearance, Ruan Qing'an frowned slightly. She reached out and grabbed Qin Yue's wrist, then pushed him away with a little force.

Taking advantage of Qin Yue's moment of pain, Ruan Qing'an quickly rolled off the bed, distancing herself from Qin Yue, and casually asked, "So what? Does this have anything to do with whether I help you or not?"

"Young Master Qin Yue, you don't really think you can get my help with a useless promise, do you?"

Ruan Qing'an chuckled softly, his eyes filled with cold mockery: "You say you'll be my boyfriend and that you'll make me your wife, and that I'll enjoy all the riches and glory. It's all talk and no action."

Qin Yue's face darkened: "If you don't help me, of course this promise won't be kept. Ruan Qing'an, if you obediently help me, how could I not treat you well after I take over the Qin family!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Ruan Qing'an's mockery intensified: "Oh, Young Master Qin Yue is lying, isn't he?"

"You think highly of me, don't you? Trying to get something for nothing, making me work for you? Are you crazy? Do you know how much money that old man Qin Cheng gave me for medical treatment?"

"You just want money, don't you?!"

Qin Yue let out a low growl, his eyes wide with fury as he looked at Ruan Qing'an, his expression terrifying, like a demon ready to devour someone. He strode forward, his manner menacing.

The mocking laughter stopped abruptly. Ruan Qing'an's expression darkened slightly as he backed away little by little until his heels touched the wall: "Qin Yue, what do you want to do? I'm warning you not to do anything reckless."

"You bitch, you lied to me, you lied to the Qin family, all you wanted was a little bit of money, didn't you?"

The atmosphere was tense and fraught with tension. Despite the stalemate, Ruan Qing'an was not afraid, but her gaze was subtly drawn to the phone on the bed.

Qin Xi, that guy, is really good at keeping his cool...

037: [Almost there; the male protagonist is still on his way on horseback.]

Just as 037 said those words, Qin Yue had already made his move, striding confidently towards Ruan Qing'an.

Ruan Qing'an glanced at the window behind her out of the corner of her eye, her eyes darkening slightly. If this thing wanted to hit her, she'd better just kick it out.

But the next moment, Ruan Qing'an's thoughts stopped. The door, which should have been closed, was pushed open, accompanied by a lazy voice yawning.

"Brother, what do you want to do to my therapist?"

"Qin Xi?"

Qin Yue froze. He slowly turned around and looked awkwardly at Qin Xi at the door.

Qin Xi was leaning against the door, slightly raising her eyes. She was still wearing the same hoodie and jeans, a smile on her lips revealing her slightly pointed canine teeth, and even her puppy-dog eyes were crinkled with laughter.

He looked like a fairly sunny young man, but Qin Yue clearly knew his true colors very well, and for a moment he couldn't help but shudder, a chill suddenly rising up down his spine.

"Qin Xi, I didn't tell you before, but actually Ruan Qing'an is—"

"I know."

Qin Xi answered casually, his hands in his pockets as he strolled in: "Two months ago, Ruan Qing'an was working at a nightclub to earn money to pay off his gambling debts, but that's where he met you."

"Because of some reason, perhaps she was blind, or perhaps it was because you spent a fortune at the time, something happened that I find quite unbelievable—Ruan Qing'an liked you and began to pursue you."

"And you, too, became boyfriend and girlfriend with Ruan Qing'an for some unfriendly reasons that were directed at me, and took her back to the Qin family villa."

At this point, Qin Xi was already standing in front of Qin Yue. Although he was thin, he was half a head taller than Qin Yue, and his smiling eyes looked down at Qin Yue.

He said, slowly and deliberately, "But obviously, she's now staying here as my psychiatrist."

"Qin Xi, you, how could you..."

Qin Yue was stunned. He could understand that Ruan Qing'an's information had been exposed, but his information was encrypted, for fear that Qin Xi would find it.

But now, how come Qin Xi knows everything about his plans? It's like he's cheating in a game, how can he fight like this!

Seeing Qin Yue's surprised and uncertain expression, Qin Xi chuckled, "I just didn't want to say, brother, if you don't want to be completely finished—"

"Get out of my way before I get angry."

His smile was sunny and bright, but the words he uttered were the chilling "Get lost."

Qin Yue was startled and staggered a few steps before running out of Ruan Qing'an's room.

Only after Qin Yue's figure disappeared from sight did Qin Xi look at Ruan Qing'an leaning against the window, his dark eyes swirling with an unreadable lust.

Ruan Qing'an didn't speak, but just pursed her lips and looked at Qin Xi warily.

Qin Xi leaned against the window frame with one hand, her smile gentle.

"A professional con artist?"

"Nightclub girl?"

"You like Qin Yue?"

037: [I bet the male lead was already angry before Qin Yue left.]

Ruan Qingan: "Why don't you start a betting game, little system?"

[I bet you'll be here before I leave, ancestor.]

"I think so too."

037: ...

At this moment, Qin Xi paused, her smile deepening, appearing even more obedient and docile, yet inexplicably filled with an even more chilling aura of danger: "And, you almost became my sister-in-law?"

He seems even angrier now...

Ruan Qingan was silent for a moment: "I still think so."
