Leng Yue's fingernails dug deeply into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped red marks on her skin.
Lin Yinuo's provocative expression ignited a fire within her chest.
Every nerve in my body was screaming to kick Lin Yinuo out.
She cursed Lin Yinuo in her heart, but on the surface she forced herself to remain calm. She raised her hand and slapped Lin Yinuo's hand away, asking in an annoyed tone, "What are you doing here?"
“Why can’t I be here!” Lin Yinuo retorted.
Seeing Leng Yue's forced composure,
He felt a secret sense of vengeful satisfaction. Who told Leng Yue to be so heartless, not revealing a single piece of information to him?
Her gaze passed over Leng Yue and landed on Lu Qingzhou opposite her, a half-smile playing on her lips.
She leaned slightly closer to Lu Qingzhou, her fingertips gently unbuttoning the mis-buttoned shirt.
He slowly and deliberately re-fastened it, each tug carrying a sharp force, his tone laced with a hint of ambiguous teasing: "Brother Qingzhou, you're in such high spirits, in broad daylight... tsk tsk tsk..."
Her voice trailed off, like a feather gently brushing against their nerves.
Finally, it dissipated into the suddenly silent living room.
All that remained were Leng Yue's rapid breathing and Lu Qingzhou's flustered gaze.
Lu Qingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and a suspicious blush appeared on the tips of his ears.
He wanted to make a joke to ease the awkwardness, but found his throat was terribly dry.
'Yinuo is becoming increasingly unpredictable; compared to Leng Yue, she's even worse.'
Lu Qingzhou silently complained in his heart, but on the surface he tried to remain calm and took half a step back. As a result, his back bumped into the flower stand next to him with a dull "thud".
This made him even more embarrassed; he was mortified!
Seeing their tense expressions,
Lin Yinuo smiled faintly, which was a way of venting her frustration.
"What are you standing for? Come and sit down, don't be shy."
She straightened Lu Qingzhou's clothes and then gracefully turned and walked towards the sofa.
Throughout the entire process, Lu Qingzhou felt a strange sensation.
It's hard to explain.
He took a deep breath and followed Lin Yinuo to the sofa in the living room. He sat down on the single sofa to Lin Yinuo's left.
Leng Yue's gaze was fixed on Lin Yinuo's back. Seeing that she was completely at ease, gesturing for them to sit down like a hostess,
I feel like my lungs are about to explode with anger.
'This is my territory! When did it become your place, you vixen, to boss me around?'
She gritted her teeth and sat down opposite Lin Yinuo in a huff, her gaze piercing like a knife: "Tell me, how did you get back here? And how did you get in?"
Lin Yinuo leaned lazily against the sofa, her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes full of amusement as she looked Leng Yue up and down.
Seeing how uneasy the other person was from her stare, she felt a surge of vengeful pleasure.
'You brat, trying to eat alone? No way!'
She curled her lips into a smile, deliberately remaining silent, enjoying the pleasure brought by this sense of oppression.
This damned tension even surprised Lu Qingzhou, who was standing next to him.
It felt like Lin Yinuo and him weren't just ordinary friends; it was more like he was caught cheating by his wife.
Lu Qingzhou found the idea somewhat amusing.
I'm so upset, I'm not a jerk!
Looking at the two people who were about to clash, Lu Qingzhou suddenly felt like the extra cream in a sandwich cookie.
He wanted to speak up to ease the tension, but he was afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting himself into trouble; this wasn't the first time such a situation had happened.
Leng Yue felt extremely uncomfortable under Lin Yinuo's gaze and finally couldn't help but explode: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before? Are you mute? I'm asking you a question!" Her voice was eight octaves higher than usual, clearly showing her anger and embarrassment.
Seeing Leng Yue's exasperated expression, Lin Yinuo spoke leisurely, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing: "I was wondering why the courtyard gate was locked earlier, until I went up to the third floor and realized there was a reason. If I'm not mistaken, you locked the courtyard gate from the inside, didn't you?"
She paused deliberately, observing Leng Yue's expression. Seeing a hint of embarrassment flash across the other's face, she felt secretly pleased.
Leng Yue's face flushed red, both embarrassed and angry: "So what if I locked it from the inside? This is my house, what's wrong with me locking my own front door? But you, I locked the front door, how did you get in?"
Her voice carried a defiant, "what's the use of trying?" attitude.
I was very unhappy.
I am one of the mistresses of this house. Who are you, Lin Yinuo?
They're even more arrogant than me!
My aunt can't swallow this insult, she can't tolerate even the slightest bit of it!
Lin Yinuo shrugged, looking relaxed: "How else could I get in? You locked the door from the inside, so of course I had to climb over the wall. Luckily, I got in."
She deliberately spoke casually.
In truth, he was secretly pleased—seeing Lu Qingzhou's surprised expression made all the risks worthwhile.
At least it showed Lu Qingzhou a different side of her.
Or rather, I've learned a little more about her.
Circumventing the Great Firewall?
Lu Qingzhou's eyes widened in surprise, a hint of astonishment in his expression: "The wall around my villa is at least two meters high, and you actually managed to climb over it. Wow, Yinuo, I never knew you had this ability!"
He said that aloud, but in his heart he thought, "This girl is really wild, huh..."
Leng Yue glared at Lu Qingzhou, feeling both angry and anxious: 'Praising her at a time like this! Is this blockhead trying to drive me crazy?!'
She gritted her teeth and pressed on, "The point is, how did you find your way here?"
Lin Yinuo gave a meaningful smile: "Of course, someone told me."
Seeing Leng Yue and Lu Qingzhou's eyes widen at the same time, she deliberately dragged out her words: "Of course, it was Sister Qingyao who told me, otherwise how could I have found this place?"
Lin Yinuo, quite the bachelor, sold Su Qingyao out.
She had her reasons for saying that. The biggest reason why she failed to confess to Lu Qingzhou last time was because of Su Qingyao's obstruction.
Now Su Qingyao is supporting her instead, although she is not quite sure why Su Qingyao is doing so.
However, no matter what, she naturally had to seize the opportunity to make Lu Qingzhou and Leng Yue understand that she had Su Qingyao's approval.
Leng Yue and Lu Qingzhou exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
"This is impossible!" they both cried out in their hearts at the same time.
How could Su Qingyao possibly contact her?
As everyone knows,
From the very first time they met, Lin Yinuo and Su Qingyao were essentially at odds.
How could I possibly give her the address and ask her to come over!
Leng Yue frowned and immediately questioned, "You're talking nonsense. How could Yao Yao possibly contact you and ask you to come over?"
P.S.: Sorry, this is the only chapter for today. I have some urgent business to attend to. I hope you all understand.
