Chapter 207 You can know a person's face but not their heart.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Qin Ce reversed the car out and glanced at the rearview mirror. "I left Xue Ling at the amusement park."
"What?"
Qiao Xing was even more confused. He said he had something to do today, which meant going to the amusement park with Xue Ling?
Are you having so much fun... that you're not even replying to her messages?
Qiao Xing bit her lip and stared at her fingers.
Qin Ce didn't explain, and drove straight to the amusement park.
Today is Wednesday, Yang Han's father's 60th birthday. The banquet was held in a low-key manner, but there were still quite a few people in attendance.
It was held in their own big villa, and there were people everywhere, inside and outside.
Yang Han was greeting guests when a security guard came to him and said that there was someone outside without an invitation who insisted that he knew him.
"What does it matter if he doesn't have an invitation? Just kick him out." Yang Han was too busy to do anything else, so she waved her hand as if shooing away flies.
The security guard looked troubled. "She said she's your girlfriend. If you don't come out to pick her up, she'll make a scene at the gate."
Yang Han paused, staring wide-eyed at the security guard. "What's her name?"
"She's mixed race, very fair-skinned, and has blue eyes."
No sooner had the security guard finished speaking than Yang Han rushed out. He watched Yang Han's retreating figure and touched his nose.
Is she really the young master's mistress?
You can know a person's face but not their heart.
Yang Han didn't care about the security guard's inner turmoil. He practically scrambled out, afraid that if he was even a second too slow, Xue Ling would cause a scene outside.
If she starts making a scene on a day like today, things will get out of control!
He rushed to the door and, sure enough, saw Xue Ling wearing a white down jacket, standing on the edge of the lawn. She had her hands behind her back and was casually playing with small pebbles on the ground.
"Grandma, what brings you here!"
Xue Ling heard his voice, smiled, and turned around, "You're out."
Yang Han rubbed her forehead. "No, what are you going to do?"
"I'm not here for anything, I just wanted to attend the banquet, but your security guards won't let me in."
"Please... go back, I beg you."
Xue Ling's smile vanished instantly. She stared intently at Yang Han. "Why did you invite my mother but not me? Do you hate me?"
Yang Han grabbed her hand and pulled her outside, saying, "I'll talk to you later, okay? You should go back now."
Xue Ling broke free from him and turned to run into the villa.
"Stop right there!" Yang Han shouted angrily. Xue Ling stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Yang Han.
Yang Han is usually all smiles with everyone, and it's rare to see him so angry.
But Xue Ling glared at him defiantly, with a hint of grievance, "Why are you yelling at me!"
Yang Han took a deep breath and patiently approached Xue Ling. "Stop making a scene, okay? We can talk about it after the banquet!"
Xue Ling raised her chin, looking rather arrogant. "Why are you so afraid of me going in? Are you afraid I'll tell everyone about us?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Yang Han quickly recovered. "What's going on between us? Stop talking nonsense, nothing's wrong with us!"
"Then why won't you let me in?"
"I..." This question stumped Yang Han, making him sound like he had a guilty conscience.
After thinking it over, seeing Xue Ling's determined look and insistence on going in, he pondered and said, "I'll let you in, but you can't do anything reckless."
What does "acting recklessly" mean?
"You just can't spread rumors."
Xue Ling stared at him intently with her light blue eyes and asked sincerely, "What rumors are you spreading?"
"You...you little brat, how can you be so infuriating?"
Xue Ling snorted, "So, are you going to let me in or not?"
"Come in, come in, but make it clear, you can't mention anything about the two of us."
"What's going on between us?" Xue Ling asked, feigning ignorance.
"..."
The security guard at the entrance kept glancing this way out of the corner of his eye, his heart burning with a fierce thirst for gossip.
As expected, news of his affair will spread throughout the entire Yang family tomorrow.
"Forget it." Yang Han felt he couldn't explain himself no matter what he said, so he waved his hand. "Go inside, just don't say anything out of line, or I'll block you!"
No amount of words could be as damaging as those words. Xue Ling pouted, snorted, and turned to go inside.
Yang Han walked behind them, giving them a warning look. He didn't need to say anything; they understood.
After all, there are only a few gatekeepers. If word gets out, they'll all be in trouble.
The security guards immediately straightened their backs and kept their eyes straight ahead.
Yang Han didn't say anything and chased after Xue Ling inside, only to find that the girl had disappeared.
He was startled and forgot about the guests, searching everywhere for Xue Ling. He wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that this girl would run off to find Xiao Lin.
At that moment, Xiao Lin was chatting with several ladies when she caught a glimpse of Yang Han looking around nervously in the yard, seemingly searching for something.
"Linlin, you should focus more on your family. You're at the age where you should have children. You're always running around doing business and neglecting your family. A man's heart is easily wandered away."
"Linlin, don't you think that makes sense?"
Xiao Lin looked away. Although she hadn't heard what the other person said, she still smiled and nodded politely.
"Excuse me, I'll be there for a moment."
Yang Han searched for a long time before finally finding Xue Ling in the back courtyard, where she was pulling a servant aside and asking her something.
Who is Yang Han's wife?
As soon as he walked in, he heard what she was saying, and he was terrified.
The maid looked at Yang Han, who was walking over, with a troubled expression. "Why don't you ask the young master?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ling turned her head in the direction of the maid's gaze, and Yang Han appeared right behind her.
He grabbed Xue Ling and dragged her to a secluded spot.
What are you doing?!
"Let go, you're pinching me too hard!"
Xue Ling struggled for a few moments, and only when they were in a secluded place did Yang Han let her go.
Xue Ling stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
She turned her head and glared at Yang Han resentfully.
"Are you ever going to stop? Do you have to come to a place like this to cause trouble?"
Xue Ling retorted defiantly, "Why are you being so fierce! I didn't cause any trouble. You're the one who thinks I'm making a fuss because you did something wrong. You're the one who's guilty!"
"I'm not guilty at all! I'm afraid you'll spread rumors about me. You're always doing bad things. Is it because the schools abroad are too easy and you have nothing better to do than come here and cause trouble for me?"
"If you're not guilty, why are you spreading rumors! You bastard!" Xue Ling angrily threw the object at him again.
Yang Han grabbed her wrist and said irritably, "Where do you get all these twisted arguments? Are you trying to play tongue twisters with me?"
"It's a good thing you're Old Qin's sister, otherwise I..."
Xue Ling stared at the finger pointing at her nose and sneered, "What else can you do?"
Yang Han angrily withdrew her hand, gritting her teeth as she said, "Hmph! You better behave yourself, you hear me?"
Xue Ling blinked and then nodded very obediently.
Yang Han hesitated for a second before letting go of her.
The next second, Xue Ling suddenly hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
"You..." Yang Han covered his face, about to speak, but then noticed Xue Ling looking triumphantly behind him.
Yang Han suddenly sensed something was wrong. He turned around and, sure enough, Xiao Lin was standing behind him, expressionless.
