"Young Master Wu, these are yours."
Wu Yong smiled, his handsome eyes sparkling as he laughed: "Yes, thank you, Miss. May I ask if you are Lin Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the Lin family who recently returned?"
Wu Yong wasn't a fool. The Lin family represented many connections. Firstly, the fabric Qingyin wore wasn't ordinary; it was the latest silk and satin from the capital. This indicated that Qingyin's status was extraordinary. She must be a favored legitimate daughter. The Lin family only had one legitimate daughter, no, there should be a new one. If the original eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Wanyu, had the beauty of this woman, Wu Yong was absolutely certain that her reputation would already be known throughout the capital and even the whole country, instead of being unknown as she was now.
So, putting all that aside, the girl in front of us is the newly returned eldest daughter of the Lin family, and a beautiful widow who has just lost her husband.
The thought that the stunningly beautiful young woman before him was already married made Wu Yong feel sad and regretful that he had met Qingyin so late. The young woman's husband was obviously unlucky and had died young.
Fortunately, the person was dead. Wu Yong turned his head and looked at the beautiful girl beside him with unusual tenderness. Otherwise, he might have been unable to resist sending that person to their death himself.
Qingyin, who was answering Wu Yong's question, was unaware of the series of terrifying thoughts running through the man's mind.
She smiled gently and nodded, admitting, "Young master is wise; I am Lin Qingqing."
“Miss Lin Qingqing!” Wu Yong’s eyes lit up. Looking into the girl’s familiar and captivating eyes, he couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Lin, did you come out during the Qixi Festival?”
Upon hearing this, Qingyin looked up and asked in surprise, "How did Young Master Wu know?"
Wu Yong blushed. It turned out that this wasn't the first time he had met Miss Qingqing. Indeed, he and Qingqing were destined to be together.
Thinking about it, Wu Yong's gaze became even more intense. Stared at by the girl's captivating eyes, the young man became unusually shy: "Well, last time I... I also went out to play, and I happened to see Miss Qingqing wearing a veil in a private room of a teahouse on East Street."
"I see." Qingyin nodded.
At this moment, Lin Wanyu, who had run far away to watch the entire play, also ran back in the familiar direction.
Seeing Wu Yong, a notorious playboy in the capital, pestering her sister, Lin Wanyu immediately misunderstood. Anger flared in her eyes, and she rushed towards Wu Yong, quickly running to Qingyin's side and blocking Qingyin's path.
"Wu Yong, with me here, you won't be able to bully my sister!"
Caught off guard by Lin Wanyu's sudden bump, Wu Yong almost stumbled and fell to the ground if he hadn't caught his footing quickly: "?"
No, when did he bully Qingqing? He was clearly too busy trying to please Qingqing to bully his sweetheart.
Wu Yong, feeling wronged and pitiful, looked at Qingyin innocently.
The man's tall figure, deliberately feigning pitifulness, actually evoked a sense of sympathy.
Qingyin gently patted Lin Wanyu, "Young Master Wu didn't bully me, and he even helped me. You've gone too far, Yu'er." After saying that, Qingyin glanced apologetically at Wu Yong.
Watching helplessly as the scheming man, after being bumped by her, pretended to clutch his chest and act pitiful, Lin Wanyu was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth to powder.
Damn it! She didn't believe that a young master from a general's mansion would be hurt so easily by a woman like her. If he were that fragile, he shouldn't be a young master of a general's mansion.
Lin Wanyu cursed inwardly, but on the surface, under her sister's gentle and apologetic gaze, she pretended to be a gentle younger sister and said to Wu Yong with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, Second Young Master of General Wu's Mansion!"
"Yes, it's alright, my sister didn't mean it." Wu Yong gave Lin Wanyu a understanding and kind look in response to her fierce gaze.
But for some reason, Wu Yong felt that his future sister-in-law had become even fiercer.
Wu Yong wasn't mistaken. Receiving Wu Yong's ingratiating gaze, Lin Wanyu felt that this scheming man was deliberately disgusting her, using her sister's goodwill to belittle her as inferior to him. Lin Wanyu became even angrier.
Seeing that the two people's magnetic fields were completely incompatible, Qingyin was at a loss and had no choice but to decide to go home and split up the two.
"Young Master Wu, it's getting late, so I'll take my sister back now," Qingyin said apologetically to Wu Yong.
Even though they hadn't parted yet, Wu Yong's heart was already filled with reluctance at their separation. He nodded gently and said, "Yes, Miss Qingqing, go back and rest early."
Seeing the tall man whose expression betrayed a hint of gloom, Lin Wanyu felt happy again. She secretly glared at this green tea bitch with disdain. So what if he can talk? She's the one going home with her sister now.
Out of the corner of her eye, Qingyin caught a glimpse of Lin Wanyu's smug expression. She pinched Lin Wanyu's fair and tender face in annoyance. She was just like a child who hadn't grown up, becoming more and more willful!
Qingyin didn't pinch hard; it was really just a light pinch, and her skin didn't even turn red.
Seeing her sister's rare initiative in being intimate, Lin Wanyu couldn't help but unconsciously move her face closer, wanting her sister to continue pinching her.
Qingyin tapped her nose, smiled, and walked away.
Before they had gone far, Wu Yong, who had witnessed the two sisters' close interaction, was so jealous that his heart began to clench. He wished he were Lin Wanyu right now, so that Qingyin's delicate and white hands could pinch his fingers. He guaranteed that he would be even more obedient and well-behaved than Lin Wanyu!
Qingyin didn't notice Wu Yong's jealous gaze, and with guards and bodyguards around, she quickly and safely returned to the mansion.
