Xia Qingxue, a mature woman with a keen eye, instantly noticed the subtle changes in the air.
She glanced at Ning Rushuang and thought to herself, "Isn't this the beautiful doctor that Master mentioned? It seems there's quite a misunderstanding here."
Seeing this, he still had that meaningful smile on his lips, and timely reminded Lin Yuan to build a bridge of communication between the two parties.
"Dr. Ning, this is Xia Qingxue, my housekeeper; this is Xu Lan, my sister; and this is Li Tianyi, my bodyguard."
His introduction was both polite and a skillful maneuver in a delicate social situation.
Xia Qingxue even took the initiative to greet her with a smile.
"Dr. Ning, I've heard so much about you! Young Master Lin has always praised you, and today I'm finally meeting you in person."
Her intuition told her that she couldn't bear this misunderstanding.
He quickly added, "Dr. Ning, I am Young Master Lin's housekeeper, and I am responsible for taking care of his daily life."
Ning Rushuang was slightly taken aback, a complex emotion flashing across her eyes. Then, a coldness swept across her eyes as she glanced at Xia Qingxue indifferently, secretly scoffing, "Quite the tea bitch! Pretending to be a good person now?"
Lin Yuan watched this scene leisurely from the side, his smile growing wider as he savored a captivating spectacle.
Ning Rushuang smiled faintly, her complex emotions shifting in an instant.
"I see."
As she spoke softly, her eyes darted around, glancing at Lin Yuan with a hint of mockery.
"Young Master Lin truly understands the finer things in life; even his butler is so refined and elegant, a pleasure to behold..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "Dr. Ning, you've misunderstood. Qingxue is my right-hand woman and a capable assistant, far superior to those pretty but empty vases."
Ning Rushuang's gaze lightly skipped between Lin Yuan and Xia Qingxue, a deep and meaningful smile appearing on her lips.
She gracefully took her phone out of her handbag, turned gently towards Xia Qingxue, and spoke in a soft voice that carried an undeniable strength.
"Miss Xia, I will never forget your help today. May I ask if we could exchange WeChat contacts so we can catch up in the future?"
Xia Qingxue was slightly taken aback, then a smile spread across her eyes, gentle as the warm sun of early spring.
"Dr. Ning, you flatter me. It is my honor to get to know you."
After speaking, the two tacitly took out their phones. The moment their QR codes touched, a subtle, almost imperceptible ripple seemed to surge in the air, causing the surrounding atmosphere to quietly tense up.
Lin Yuan stood to the side, witnessing this scene, his heart filled with mixed feelings, and his scalp tingled slightly.
Ning Rushuang, what exactly is she up to?
He had originally planned to find an opportunity to win over Ning Rushuang.
After all, she clearly had a bit more affection for him after he helped her get rid of her suitors last time.
But after what happened today, Lin Yuan immediately changed his mind.
After exchanging WeChat contacts, Ning Rushuang nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful..."
After speaking, she took a few light steps and turned to leave, leaving Lin Yuan, Xia Qingxue, and the other three looking at each other, at a loss for what to do.
Lin Yuan scratched the back of his head and gave a wry smile.
"This woman is truly unpredictable."
Xia Qingxue chuckled to herself.
"Master, you brought this on yourself. You should have been more proactive when you helped her get rid of her suitors last time."
Lin Yuan sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"Sister Xue, I'm really exasperated. I just want some peace and quiet and don't want to cause trouble for myself. From now on, it's best to stay away from her."
Xia Qingxue's eyes flickered, and she teased, "Master, are you getting scared?"
Lin Yuan rolled his eyes at her and said in a deliberately tough tone, "Coward? Who would I, Lin Yuan, be afraid of? I'm just too lazy to get involved in this mess."
Xia Qingxue smiled radiantly and gently patted his shoulder.
"Alright, Master. Dr. Ning is so beautiful, who knows, she might become your bedmate someday."
Lin Yuan smiled wryly and waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "Don't tease me. I don't want to cause any more trouble or misunderstandings."
Xia Qingxue laughed so hard she was shaking, gently shaking her head, looking like she was enjoying the show.
Then, Lin Yuan quickly pulled Xia Qingxue aside to explain, "Sister Xue, Ning Rushuang and I are really just friends at most. I only met her because I helped her with a small favor, and we've met no more than five times."
Xia Qingxue nodded with a smile. "Master, I understand, don't worry."
Lin Yuan looked at Xia Qingxue's expression.
She didn't believe it at all!
This woman is too clever; she saw through everything long ago without me even having to say anything.
He sighed helplessly.
Forget it, let's not cause any trouble.
Ning Rushuang is probably even more difficult to deal with than Sister Xue.
Lin Yuan looked at Xia Qingxue and found that she had no desire to retaliate. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still felt a little guilty.
"Sister Xue, today's events were truly unexpected. I never imagined it would turn out this way."
"Master, don't worry, I won't be jealous. I know what kind of person you are, this little thing is nothing."
After receiving Xia Qingxue's confident assurance, Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.
Then, lowering his voice, he whispered to Li Tianyi, "Li Tianyi, you stay by Xu Lan's side. Make sure she doesn't find out anything about what happened today."
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyi nodded slightly, about to speak, but was silenced by a sharp glare from Lin Yuan.
"Stop talking nonsense and go keep Xu Lan company. Make sure she knows very little about what happened today."
"Yes, Young Master Lin."
Li Tianyi laughed heartily, then turned around and strode towards Xu Lan.
Watching Li Tianyi's receding figure, Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself: These strong women, they're all troublemakers.
Today's events will likely escalate into another storm.
