Qin Yiheng ignored her obvious question and continued speaking: "But if we're together, I will definitely protect you."
Luo Jinxiu was suddenly stunned.
She looked at Qin Yiheng in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard something.
Qin Yiheng said he would protect me, is that right?
Their trip to Qingling Peak, and no matter what happens, Qin Yiheng will protect them, right?
Luo Jinxiu just stared at Qin Yiheng like that.
It was clear that Qin Yiheng was speaking very seriously, his eyes full of sincerity.
In fact, having known Qin Yiheng for so long, apart from the initial prejudice and negative preconceived notions she had about him, Luo Jinxiu could always sense that Qin Yiheng was genuinely sincere towards others.
He seems to have never bothered with playing mind games or treating others with falsehoods.
In a sense, this is one of the reasons why Qin Yiheng made her heart flutter.
"I need some more time to take care of things around me, and then we'll set off together," Qin Yiheng continued.
Luo Jinxiu nodded blankly, then, as if suddenly remembering something, said, "Oh right, I've already taken care of the housekeeper too."
Upon hearing the word "butler," Qin Yiheng frowned, but quickly relaxed his brow.
"Don't worry, the housekeeper won't interfere with our operation in any way, I can guarantee that."
Luo Jinxiu could roughly guess what Qin Yiheng was hesitating about.
She had mentioned before that the housekeeper had the backing of Luohe Mountain and didn't really respect her, the young lady. This time, Qin Yiheng truly experienced the housekeeper's methods firsthand.
Although they were all clumsy in front of him, Qin Yiheng still had to be on guard.
Especially for Qing Lingfeng's trip, its significance is quite extraordinary.
Luo Jinxiu felt that she knew of a very valuable spring near Qing Lingfeng and wanted Qin Yiheng to go and take a look.
If possible, the two of them will further cooperate in developing the living spring, which will elevate Luo Jinxiu's status in the Luo family and allow for further plans... But that's a story for another time, so let's leave it at that.
However, for Qin Yiheng, Qingling Peak might be a place related to the truth of his parents' death. Although he appears calm on the surface, he has a lingering unease in his heart.
What should he do if it turns out that his parents' deaths are indeed related to Luo Jia? What should he do if it turns out that He Luojia has nothing to do with it?
He escaped from the snowy mountains for two reasons: one was his fiancée, Jiang Yan, and now that they were together, Qin Yiheng could rest assured.
But the cause of death of the other parent is still unclear, which worries him.
How things will turn out depends on this.
"Then I'll do as you say?"
Seeing that Qin Yiheng hadn't spoken, Luo Jinxiu assumed he was also thinking about the operation, but since he seemed to be taking too long to think about it, he had no choice but to tentatively speak.
Qin Yiheng was actually brought back to his senses by her words.
Fortunately, if he wanted to hide his emotions, no one could tell, including Luo Jinxiu.
He nodded: "Yes, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
As he spoke, he made a move to get up and walk outside.
This action made Luo Jinxiu suddenly feel a little dazed.
When Luo Jinxiu first met Qin Yiheng, she could tell that he had a good figure and good looks, and she did have the illusion that "he could deceive young girls as soon as he opened his mouth".
However, at that time, I had too much prejudice against him, so no matter how I looked at him, I couldn't stand him.
Later, my thinking changed, but I didn't pay much attention to whether Qin Yiheng was good-looking or not.
For some reason, Luo Jinxiu suddenly noticed this today.
"With perseverance..."
Seeing the lines of Qin Yiheng's waist and abdomen as he stood up, and his slightly pensive face, Luo Jinxiu inexplicably cried out.
This time, not only she, but Qin Yiheng was also stunned.
"What did you call me?" Qin Yiheng's expression was neither good nor bad.
After the initial shock subsided, Luo Jinxiu suddenly felt inexplicably embarrassed.
The eldest daughter of the Luo family has lived for more than twenty years, but she only had a vague crush on someone when she was a young girl just beginning to experience love, and then she never had one again.
Moreover, given her status, she's the one who basically looks down on others.
After this happened too many times, she stopped knowing what it was like to like someone, and what kind of person she would become.
So now, when facing Qin Yiheng, all she knows is that he is a good person, and if she could have him, that would be what she wants.
But she didn't know what to do, especially since Qin Yiheng was with Jiang Yan; the two were engaged. What would she look like if she interfered? The pride of the eldest daughter of the Luo family wouldn't allow her to do that.
Therefore, Luo Jinxiu's behavior was somewhat strange. She raised her head and said, "What? Can't I call you that?"
Qin Yiheng blinked innocently—"Well, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
After Qin Yiheng left, Luo Jinxiu suddenly remembered that she had called him back earlier because she didn't want him to leave so quickly!
Among the daughters of large families, some are spoiled and pampered, while others are arrogant and domineering. But daughters like Luo Jinxiu and Chu Ruoxue have experienced all sorts of things since childhood and have been raised like family heads, even if they don't end up becoming family heads.
Therefore, in many things, they are no less capable than men, nor do they need men to help them; in fact, they are often far superior to men…
Even if you dream of being a sweet, dependent woman, if you can't even open a beverage bottle cap, you still can't do it even with someone's help.
But just now, when she was talking to Qin Yiheng, Luo Jinxiu sensed it, because Qin Yiheng said that he would protect her at the Qingling Summit this time.
There are many people who protect the eldest daughter of the Luo family, but none of them are the kind of protectors Qin Yiheng represents.
"Qin Yiheng, this time when we go to Qingling Peak, I'm going to make sure you can't live without me." Luo Jinxiu suddenly clenched her fist and said with great determination.
She doesn't care about these few days. Qin Yiheng is a smart man. He will know that Jiang Yan is still far inferior to Luo Jinxiu. He can hardly imagine what she can give him when they are together.
Therefore, she was determined to win.
Qin Yiheng had no idea what Luo Jinxiu was thinking. Not long after he left the apartment, he received a call from Jiang Yan.
"Yiheng, are you feeling better? I can get off work a little earlier today, how about we go to the hospital and pick Mom up? After all, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, let her reunite with us."
