Lan Linxue smiled helplessly, "To be honest, your idea is actually quite sound! If you're talking about who in this world can be more of a menace, it's definitely my father! We really need to be wary of him! Otherwise, he might find something on us and give you a hard time!"
At this point, Lan Linxue immediately grabbed Qin Kou'er's hand, "But don't worry! I'll protect you with all my might! Hmph, I'm two against one when it comes to dealing with that old geezer!"
"Pfft!"
Qin Kou'er immediately smiled, then pinched Lan Linxue's chin and asked, "It's truly a blessing from heaven that His Majesty wasn't angered to death by you!"
Lan Linxue slapped Qin Kou'er's hand away and said seriously, "I have a second thing to say!"
"Oh? What is it?"
"Does our bet still stand?"
Lan Linxue asked in a very serious tone.
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment before remembering the bet she made with Lan Linxue during the day about whether Lan Xiuyuan would fall for the trap!
Qin Kou'er nodded, "Of course it counts, but it seems Lan Xiuyuan really fell for the trap. I think I've lost!"
Lan Linxue nodded emphatically, "You did lose! What did you say back then?"
"If you lose, I'll tell you one of my secrets!"
"Yes! That's it! Now I'm here to collect the interest. So, what secret do you want to tell me?"
Qin Kou'er blinked, stared at Lan Linxue for a long time, and finally managed to stammer out, "You really want to know?"
"Nonsense! Otherwise, why would I be here watching you in the middle of the night! Although you're very beautiful, I'm also very sleepy! Hurry up and tell me, what's the secret!"
Qin Kou'er stared at Lan Linxue again, making Lan Linxue lose all patience.
"Are you going to tell me or not? I..."
"I'm your cousin!"
Qin Kou'er suddenly said something. Then she immediately shut her mouth tightly, sat up straight, and didn't say another word.
"What?" Lan Linxue thought she had misheard, and leaned closer to Qin Kou'er, asking in confusion, "What cousin? Where did this distant relative come from?"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue's face looming large in front of her, then suddenly stood up, stretched, and said, "Alright! I've told you my secret, I'm going to sleep now!"
Lan Linxue grabbed Qin Kou'er, who was about to walk away, and said with a frown, "Explain yourself! What cousin? Where did you get this relationship to claim kinship? I don't even have a cousin, let alone a cousin, cousin's wife, or cousin's husband. Where did you come from?"
Qin Kou'er blinked at Lan Linxue, "You wanted me to tell you the secret? I will! I'll honor my bet! As for what exactly happened, it's not in the bet! You can think about it yourself! But one thing is for sure, I didn't lie to you! I'm your cousin!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lan Linxue's consent, Qin Kou'er stood up and pushed him out of the room, closing the door in front of him.
Lan Linxue stared at the door panel in front of her, feeling utterly frustrated.
Cousin? There's no such person!
In the parlance of Southerners, does "cousin" mean "illegitimate child"?
The thought that the old man might have made a huge blunder for her made Lan Linxue's heart sink.

I recommend Yuan Yu's high-quality VIP novel, "The Young Master's New Wife":
http://. 520xs./info/. html
Despite ten nights of relentless pursuit, she still refused his kiss, saying only: "Please, I still want a future."
After ten nights of frantic possession, he left her with a warm silhouette, saying only: Wait for me, I will take over your future.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and when they met again five years later: he was a high-ranking CEO, and she was a promising young planner. The two fought tooth and nail at the YTV bidding conference.
But his entanglement with her goes far beyond that...
