Chapter 55 I love you, what should I do? I love Qin Cangye...
In the small and cramped space, every breath I took was filled with her scent.
It was his tie that tied her up; what remained on her neck was his saliva; and the red mark was also left by his kiss!
Qin Wangxuan was almost going crazy. Just looking at her made his body feel like it was about to explode. He couldn't imagine how excited he would be if she allowed him to touch her, caress her, and kiss her.
Maybe he'll die on her.
I want to die on her...
Going crazy...
After a long moment, Qin Wangxuan groaned, his anger draining away. He immediately dressed, squeezed into the closet, and hugged Su Yinuo, resting his sweat-soaked forehead on her shoulder.
Su Yinuo pulled off his tie and felt the breath on his neck was so hot that it was deadly. When he was about to push him away, he heard his choked confession: "I love you, what should I do?"
Su Yinuo was stunned for a moment, then said ruthlessly, "I love Qin Cangye. Everything I do now, including enduring your frivolous behavior, is for Qin Cangye."
"I know," Qin Wangxuan said with an extremely sad tone.
“So enough is enough!”
Su Yinuo spoke in a cold tone and stepped on Qin Wangxuan's chest, trying to kick him away, but she couldn't kick him away after several attempts, and he was still holding her legs.
He kneaded her calves and held her feet, hugging her in fascination for a few minutes before reluctantly letting go. He half-knelt on the ground and put on cotton slippers for her.
Su Yinuo jumped out of the closet, glared at him, and walked out of the cloakroom without looking back. He was left alone and retreated into the closet, sniffing the lingering scent of Su Yinuo.

The next morning, after seeing many of the servants' families being led into the mansion, Su Yinuo asked Qin Wangxuan to carry a small bag of gifts and go with them to the servants' quarters. The bag contained fine tea, unopened high-end skincare products, some brand-name keychains, small leather goods, and more. She was at ease with the unfamiliar faces and quickly became familiar with the families. Everyone gathered in the first-floor hall, chatting and laughing.
"I was wondering why my husband came back home a few days ago and gave me some shopping cards. It turns out there's a new wife in our house," said an auntie happily.
"Hey? Madam, I don't need these cosmetics. Can I sell them?" asked another aunt.
"Of course, of course, if I give it to you, it's yours," Su Yinuo said with a kind smile, "These are things that Wangxuan and I don't usually use. I hope my aunt and sisters don't mind."
"Oh, why would I dislike it? These are all good stuff! They are all big brands!" said an older sister with a smile.
Qin Wangxuan, at Su Yinuo's beckoning, dismissed the servants. Soon, only Su Yinuo and a few family members remained in the hall. Su Yinuo guided them, gradually shifting the topic to the Qin family's secrets. At first, everyone had concealed something, but later, as the conversation got heated, they spilled the beans.
Someone grabbed Su Yinuo's arm and warned her mysteriously, "Madam, this house is full of hidden dangers. You can offend anyone, but you must not offend Old Master Qin. When Old Master Qin says east, you cannot say west. When Old Master Qin points south, you cannot point north. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, it seems the last wife had a tragic end, but that was many years ago."
"Not only the madam, I remember there were maids in the house before."
"How is that possible? My man has worked in the house for ten years and has never seen a maid!"
"What do you know? I've seen maids before! Butler Li's wife used to be a maid in the mansion!"
This sentence caught Su Yinuo's attention. She quickly looked at the gray-haired aunt and asked in a low voice, "Where is she now?"
The aunt hesitated, waved her hands and said, "I don't know, I don't know. I only saw him once or twice, and then I haven't seen him since."
It was obvious that she was hiding something. Su Yinuo wrote down her and her husband's names, intending to ask the truth when she had time to visit her home. Unexpectedly, before leaving the mansion, the aunt took Su Yinuo behind the rockery in the back garden. After looking around to confirm that no one was around, she lowered her voice and said nervously, "Madam, I think you look so familiar, so I'm telling you. Old Master Qin is a pervert. If you can escape, do it sooner. I don't dare to stay in this house any longer. If I hadn't met you today, I would have left after only ten minutes..."
Seeing that the aunt was talking further and further away, Su Yinuo quickly pulled the topic back and asked, "Aunt, do you know anything? Or have you seen anything?"
The aunt hesitated for a moment, then covered her mouth and whispered, "Old Master Qin likes to beat women. His wife and daughter-in-law were both beaten half to death by him. But I haven't seen this. My husband told me all about it. What I saw with my own eyes was that Old Master Qin beat Butler Li's wife to death!!"
Su Yinuo opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"It was a horrible beating. Steward Li wasn't even a steward at the time, he was just a warehouse keeper. He kowtowed repeatedly until his head bled, but he couldn't stop the mad Old Master Qin. I ran away in fear and didn't see how it ended. But my husband told me that Old Master Qin promised to send Steward Li's son abroad to study and promoted him to steward, so he didn't pursue the matter. Oh, these men, all they care about is money."
My aunt sighed and continued, "But then I discovered that Butler Li seemed to be a romantic. He locked up the room his late wife had lived in, room 405 in the servants' building. He never used this room for new people. My husband even saw him crying in room 405 late at night. It was so scary, like there was a ghost!"
After seeing off the aunt, Su Yinuo returned to the servants' building and looked up in the direction of Room 405.
She felt indescribably heavy-hearted. Every time she revealed a truth, she came into contact with a woman's tragic life.
Every woman who has ever entered this mansion is unfortunate, and the instigator of all this misfortune is Qin Weishu. However, the person they love most is equally hateful! No matter the reason, Li Guogang should never give up on pursuing Qin Weishu's revenge for his wife's murder! Qin Jianning should never have allowed his father to drive Li Ruyin to a dead end! It was the demon Qin Weishu and those surviving scum who ruined so many beautiful and vibrant lives!
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? You look very sad," Qin Wangxuan suddenly appeared and hugged Su Yinuo who was standing alone in front of the building.
"Aren't you cold standing here? Let's go back to the house." After hugging her for a while, he let go of her and took her cold hand.
Qin Wangxuan's palm was very warm, and Su Yinuo actually felt a little bit at ease.
"Let's not go back to the house yet. Let's take a walk around," Su Yinuo pulled him towards the sparsely populated back garden. After they were far away, she told him the news she had just gathered. After that, she asked, "Is it possible for us to persuade Li Guogang to expose what happened back then? Or sneak into Room 405 to look for clues?"
Qin Wangxuan pondered for a few seconds and said, "Don't be anxious. Sister-in-law, you can approach Li Guogang first and test his attitude. I'll check on his son first. His son was already in college back then, so he must know a lot."
"Okay," Su Yinuo nodded, a hint of relief appearing between his brows. He had been here for more than a week and finally found a useful clue.
"Sister-in-law, come sit down. It's a rare sunny day. Let's bask in the sun." Qin Wangxuan led Su Yinuo to a sunny bench. When Su Yinuo was about to sit down, he pulled her and held her on his lap. "The chair is quite cold. Sit on my lap."
Nearing noon, Su Yinuo felt a little sleepy under the warm winter sun, so she did not refuse. She slowly leaned on Qin Wangxuan's chest and closed her eyes.
Qin Wangxuan hugged her, lowered his head and rubbed her cheek, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please don't fall asleep, don't catch a cold."
"I didn't sleep," Su Yinuo answered drowsily.
"Then listen to me," Qin Wangxuan tightened his embrace, holding Su Yinuo's hand. At this moment, his heart was as warm as the sun. He loved the person in his arms, to an extent he had never expected. He wanted to share his past with her, and he even dreamed of spending the rest of his life with her.
"I'm from the south, and my family was well off when I was a child. But when I was in high school, my family went bankrupt. My father left all the debts to my mother and fled the country with my sister and me..." He talked about his life experience, and finally revealed his true purpose, "Sister-in-law, I have settled down abroad. If... I mean, if our plan doesn't go well, and one day your disguise is exposed, I will protect you at all costs. If my identity is also exposed, I will take you abroad. Then, we can live together, okay?"
He knew his thoughts were naive, and he knew that even if his identity was exposed, Qin Cangye would still protect her. He knew that no matter which way things went, he would be unlikely to get her, so these words were just self-consolation, a consolation that would definitely not receive an answer.
Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the person in my arms.
When he lowered his head in frustration, he realized that she had fallen asleep.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

In the afternoon, Su Yinuo and Qin Wangxuan arrived at the gate of the Ji family in Chaoyang Mountain at the agreed time.
Ji Wenshan, the head of the Ji family, was the director of the city's No. 1 Hospital. Qin Wangxuan had recently signed a multi-million dollar medical project with the hospital, which had paved the way for this private visit.
After being led in by the housekeeper, Su Yinuo saw Ji Wenshan and his wife warmly welcoming them at the entrance of the villa, and she and Qin Wangxuan started to exchange pleasantries. Ji Wenshan led the two into the living room, and Mrs. Ji took Su Yinuo's hand and said with a smile, "Miss Su is pregnant, so we can't neglect her."
As soon as she sat down, Su Yinuo saw two familiar faces walking down the spiral staircase not far away: Ji Wenshan’s eldest son Ji Chengan, and Ji Wenjun.
Su Yinuo turned away awkwardly, while Qin Wangxuan glared at Ji Wenjun fiercely.
Ji Wenshan noticed the expressions of the two men and was puzzled by the hostility on Qin Wangxuan's face. He quickly turned around and introduced them, "Oh, this is my son Ji Cheng'an, and my nephew Ji Wenjun. It seems like you know each other?"
Su Yinuo nodded. Qin Wangxuan and Ji Wenjun both had cold faces and remained silent.
Ji Chengan walked down with a smile and said, "Yes, Dad, I met Miss Su at a party once, but this is the first time that Second Young Master Qin has met her." He extended his hand to Qin Wangxuan very gentlemanly and said with a smile, "Hello."
Qin Wangxuan looked at Su Yinuo and found that she had nothing to do with Ji Chengan. Then he returned to normal and shook hands with Ji Chengan with a smile on his face.
After everyone was seated, the servants brought tea and snacks, and everyone started chatting about this and that. With more people, the topics became more diverse, and Su Yinuo no longer felt awkward, and could occasionally interject a few words.
But everyone noticed during the conversation that Qin Wangxuan and Ji Wenjun were at loggerheads with each other, and they would always get into a heated argument no matter what the topic was.
Su Yinuo was helpless. She grabbed Qin Wangxuan's hand, pulled it, and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Don't forget the important things."
To outsiders, it looked like a couple in love whispering to each other, and Mrs. Ji blushed.
Qin Wangxuan's mood immediately lifted. He put his arm around Su Yinuo's waist and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
"No," Su Yinuo shook her head gently, and pinched Qin Wangxuan's waist angrily with the hand behind his back, cursing in her heart: Ask about the real business quickly!
Qin Wangxuan shuddered imperceptibly, reached behind him and grasped Su Yinuo's hand, squeezed her palm, then brought it in front of him and held it. He looked at Ji Wenshan and asked politely, "Dean Ji, my grandfather seems to be feeling a little unwell recently, but he always pretends to be stubborn and says it's just an old ailment and nothing to worry about. I took him to the hospital for treatment, but it didn't help much. I heard that Old Master Ji used to be my grandfather's personal doctor. I wonder if you know what his old ailments are?"
Seeing Ji Wenshan's puzzled expression, Qin Wangxuan smiled sheepishly and added, "I just want to ask if Old Master Ji ever talked to you about my grandfather's condition when he was alive, or if he left any records of his medical visits."
"This..." Ji Wenshan thought for a moment in embarrassment, then said, "My father did talk to me occasionally when he was alive, but they were all about common health problems like high blood pressure, which weren't considered serious illnesses. I'm afraid my father's medical records are gone. He's been dead for five years, and these things have long been cleared away."
"Really?" Qin Wangxuan looked regretful.
Ji Wenshan quickly said, "If Old Master Qin needs it, I can arrange for our hospital's top team of experts to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on him and ensure that all his chronic illnesses can be found!"
"Then I'll go back and try to persuade Grandpa," Qin Wangxuan nodded gratefully. "I'd like to thank Dean Ji for this kindness on Grandpa's behalf."
"They are all trivial matters, all trivial matters..." Ji Wenshan said with a smile.
Su Yinuo leaned against Qin Wangxuan with her head lowered, feeling a little depressed, thinking: It seems that this road is blocked. But think about it, it’s true that Old Master Ji has passed away for so many years, and there is no hope for this road.
"I'm tired," Su Yinuo said, pulling Qin Wangxuan's sleeve. While she was speaking, she didn't notice the suspicious and inquiring look Ji Wenjun cast on her.
Qin Wangxuan hurriedly said goodbye to Ji Wenshan. Ji Wenshan did not force him to stay and asked Ji Chengan to give him a lot of expensive supplements.
The two walked out of the Ji family's gate, and after taking a few steps, they heard a shout behind them.
"Su Yinuo."
Su Yinuo turned around and saw Ji Wenjun walking towards her with a cold face.
Ji Wenjun ignored Qin Wangxuan's murderous gaze, walked straight up to Su Yinuo, and said, "I don't know what you want to do, but I might have what you're looking for."
