A few minutes later.
Qin Bai took a deep breath.
"I didn't expect there to be three forces already?"
"How are you so sure?" Yin Ning'an asked with a smile.
"Because you and the people behind Deng Yue are not on the same team."
Yin Ning'an raised an eyebrow: "You guessed it? You reacted quite quickly. There are indeed three forces involved now, but how did you figure that out?"
Qin Bai gave a wry smile: "Attitude says it all."
When she mentioned that she had dragged Deng Yue into this mess, the aunt's lips twitched slightly. If Qin Bai hadn't been paying close attention to the details, he probably would have been kept in the dark.
Before coming to Kyoto, Qin Bai had made thorough preparations. Even if Luo Qingyan hadn't been arrested, he would have come here to settle things with Luo He.
When he heard about the Deng family from Yu Shui, he didn't pay much attention to it.
He thought it was just a battle between two factions in Kyoto, which was fine; coming here would give him more opportunities to negotiate with Luohe.
Therefore, at the airport, he simply left, not giving Deng Yue a chance to establish his authority.
Anyway, it's you, Deng Yue, who needs partners now, not me, Qin Bai, who's begging you for cooperation.
But after he learned about the situation in Kyoto, he realized that it wasn't a power struggle between two families at all, but rather that the powerful figures in power had already entered the fray and started fighting each other.
At that time, Qin Bai still didn't pay much attention.
I'm not from Kyoto. You guys fight all you want, what does it have to do with me? I'm not here to get a share of the spoils.
Qin Bai's goal was simple: to resolve the troublesome situation with Luo He, and then return to Jinshan City with the sickly girl to live a peaceful life.
But now.
He discovered that things had gone beyond his expectations.
Yin Ning'an's appearance completely disrupted his plans. When there were two opposing forces, joining the Deng family might have tipped the scales, but a three-way power struggle was a completely different story.
The main issue is that he has no idea who those old silver coins who are manipulating the pieces behind the scenes are.
In a game of Werewolf where the outcome was uncertain, the player who was initially a god-tier character suddenly fell to the bottom as a player who had closed their eyes.
Yin Ning'an was clearly testing me just now. Judging from her current expression, I might already be qualified to become a pawn.
Qin Bai sighed inwardly.
His strength spoke for itself, and after returning to Jinshan City from Pu City, his ambitions soared considerably.
He's only in his early twenties and has already achieved so much; that's enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.
In particular, after resolving Pei Wanyin's crisis by joining forces with the Giles family, Qin Bai thought he was now able to compete with those families.
Now it seems...
The foundation is still far too weak.
Yin Ning'an wiped her hands with a towel: "Qin Bai, don't belittle yourself. I've seen your profile, and you're actually quite good."
Can I take this as you trying to comfort me?
"Hehe, more or less. You must be very curious about my identity now, so how about..."
Qin Bai quickly reached out to interrupt her.
"You are just Qingyan's aunt, and also my elder. As for anything else, I don't want to know."
Yin Ning'an looked at him with some surprise: "Why? Aren't you curious?"
"I don't know how many people have died because of curiosity. And my Qingyan has never told me about you because she wants to protect me. I don't have any other good points, except that I'm obedient, so I don't want to know."
"Alright, alright." Yin Ning'an said with a smile, "In that case, from now on, my identity will only remain at the level of family."
Hearing this, Qin Bai felt a little relieved.
Finally, this woman acknowledged his identity; it wasn't easy.
Judging from her attitude, Yin Ning'an really treats Luo Qingyan well. If her aunt didn't approve of their relationship, she might secretly try to kill her.
Now we shouldn't have to worry about her stabbing us in the back.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside.
The door was pushed open, and a delicate little face peeked in.
Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Luo Qingyan's heart finally settled back into place.
"Auntie, what are you talking about?"
Yin Ning'an's smile returned when she saw her.
"Let's talk about those embarrassing things that happened when you were little, like..."
Qin Bai immediately perked up his ears; he was still very interested in knowing what the little yandere had to do with her.
After all, this little thing always has something on him that he can't let go of.
"Auntie~~~" Luo Qingyan interrupted Yin Ning'an, drawing out the last syllable in a coquettish tone: "If you keep doing this, I'm going to have to pull out your oxygen tube."
"Hehe, then I'd better not say anything. I'm a person who values my life quite a bit."
Luo Qingyan picked up a piece of abalone and placed it in Yin Ning'an's bowl.
"Your auntie is so good, here's a reward for you."
"You have no manners. Eat your food, it'll get cold soon."
For the rest of the time, the three of them stopped talking about business and chatted about everyday things with laughter.
During the meal, Qin Bai's standing in Yin Ning'an's heart rose even higher.
She no longer doubted her niece's judgment; the young man in front of her truly had something special about him.
Whether it's IQ or EQ, it will always be reflected in some small details.
Moreover, he was indeed quite good to Luo Qingyan. If he could get all the other women around him to leave, the marriage would be even more perfect.
After the meal, Qin Bai left the private room and paid the bill.
As he put his phone away, he suddenly remembered something and scanned the information Yin Ning'an had sent him again.
