Zhao Yalan returned the greeting with a gentle smile: "Mr. Qin is a young and promising man, I have long admired your name."
Then, Fang Mengru pointed to the pure and beautiful woman, her smile becoming even more friendly: "This is Lin Yufang, we all call her Sister Yufang, you can call her that too."
Lin Yufang?
Qin Xiao's heart skipped a beat; that name...
[Beep! Warning! Key plot character detected—Ye Chen's mother, Lin Yufang!]
[Target: Lin Yufang. Identity: Birth mother of Ye Chen, the protagonist of the original novel. Current status: Developing slight affection for the host (due to her traitorous nature).]
Yun Yiyi's slightly nervous yet excited voice rang in Qin Xiao's mind: "Wow! Brother Qin Xiao! It's her! It's Ye Chen's mother, Lin Yufang! System information confirmed! I never expected to meet her here! She's a big shot!"
Qin Xiao remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was experiencing a storm of emotions.
Ye Chen's mother?
He carefully examined the woman before him, who was unbelievably beautiful. She possessed a pure yet alluring charm, a gentleness tinged with a natural naiveté; it was impossible to tell she was the mother of the protagonist Ye Chen, the arrogant male lead. The original novel seemed to offer little description of her, only that her identity was mysterious, that she came from a reclusive family, had some past entanglements with the Ye family, and left after giving birth to Ye Chen.
Unexpectedly, she was actually close friends with Fang Mengru and the others.
Qin Xiao's lips unconsciously curved upwards into a tiny arc, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
That's interesting, really interesting.
After searching for it everywhere, I finally found it without any effort.
He was just wondering how to strike Ye Chen more deeply when the opportunity presented itself to him.
Heh, Ye Chen... I'll make you call me "Dad" properly when I get the chance.
"Hello, Yu Fang." Qin Xiao suppressed the turmoil in his heart, put on a warm smile, and met Lin Yu Fang's slightly shy gaze with open eyes.
Lin Yufang seemed a little embarrassed by his gaze, and lowered her head slightly, her voice barely audible: "Hello, Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin."
Her shy demeanor, coupled with her stunning beauty, made her incredibly alluring. Long Aobing, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed, muttering under her breath, "Wow, this lady is so pretty… but still not as pretty as me!"
Fang Mengru patted Qin Xiao's arm and laughed, "Alright, stop standing there and take a seat. We've been waiting for you. This is Yu Fang's first time playing mahjong with us, so you have to go easy on her."
"It's my honor to play with you three sisters. Winning or losing isn't important." Qin Xiao smiled modestly, but his gaze lingered on Lin Yufang's face for a moment, before he sat down in the seat that Fang Mengru had given up.
Long Aobing consciously moved a small stool and sat down next to Qin Xiao, looking like a well-behaved person who wanted to watch and learn, but her eyes kept darting back and forth between the three beautiful women and Qin Xiao, who knows what kind of mischief she was plotting.
The mahjong tiles were automatically shuffled, and a neat wall of tiles rose up in front of the four players.
Lin Yufang quietly touched the cards, seemingly a little unskilled, occasionally glancing up at Qin Xiao with curiosity in her eyes.
A seemingly ordinary game of mahjong quietly unfolded between three beautiful women of different styles and a young man with ulterior motives. The air was filled with the faint scents of perfume and tea, the crisp clinking of mahjong tiles, and an indescribable atmosphere of ambiguity that was quietly growing.
