The goddess and Professor Qin were actually boyfriend and girlfriend?!
Lu Chenyu's mind went blank. To cover his panic, his body instinctively crouched down to pick up the broken pieces of the vase.
"Oh dear, Second Young Master, don't touch them, be careful not to cut your hand. I'll have someone come over to clean it up." Chun Hua immediately stopped him.
Ye Qichen looked at the flustered Lu Chenyu with surprise, thinking: There are quite a few men eyeing his sister!
Inside the screen.
When Old Madam Lu heard the name "Qin Beiting," she was a little surprised, but then she chuckled happily:
"That Beiting boy is truly lucky. That's good, he's a good person too. If he ever bullies you, just break up with him. My Lu family's door will always be open for you."
Yu He: "..."
At this moment, Lu Chenyu and Ye Qichen entered.
"Old Madam, I've come to pick up my sister and take her home," Ye Qichen said.
Yu He turned to look at Ye Qichen, somewhat surprised.
"You're leaving already! Why not stay a couple more days?" Old Madam Lu said reluctantly, holding Yu He's hand.
"Old Madam, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Miss Yu also needs to go back to reunite with her family," Chun Hua reminded her.
Only then did Old Madam Lu remember the date. She reluctantly released Yu He's hand. "You must come to pay your respects during the New Year! Grandma will prepare a big red envelope for you then."
"Okay." Yu He stood up and saw Lu Chenyu. Thinking of something, she turned to Old Madam and said:
"Oh, right, Grandma, it's very normal for men to like men. Please accept it. I also have a male friend, he likes men too. This is a congenital orientation issue, not an illness. Just let it be."
She comforted her. Seeing that her phone was already charged, she specifically found a photo of him showing affection from Shi Ban's Moments and showed it to Old Madam Lu.
"This is my male friend and his boyfriend."
Old Madam Lu put on her reading glasses and took a look, then immediately snatched the phone, exclaiming in surprise:
"Ah, isn't this that mixed-race superstar? I heard before that he debuted because of his little boyfriend. Oh my, this is his little boyfriend? He's so beautiful!"
Lu Chenyu: "..."
Lu Chenyu: !!!
He remembered Qin Beiting telling him that Yu He was a fujoshi. Combining this with the current scene, he suddenly realized: he had been tricked by Qin Beiting!
Was it too late to explain now?!
"So, there can be love like this between men!" Old Madam Lu accepted Yu He's recommendation and sighed.
Lu Chenyu: "........"
No, Grandma, I don't want that kind of love!
—
Beijing, Qin Family.
"I heard the eldest daughter of the Qi family came out of Seventh Master's room this morning unharmed."
"I heard that too. Her complexion wasn't very good when she came out. When the servants went in to clean, Seventh Master's sheets were perfectly clean. It seems nothing happened between them last night."
"No way? I heard Seventh Master was drugged last night. Alone in a room with a woman, and nothing happened?"
"Seventh Master's 'law' is that good?"
"This eldest daughter of the Qi family is really useless. Even after all this, she still hasn't 'cooked the rice'."
"..."
As soon as Qi Yuanyuan arrived outside Qin Xinhong's courtyard, she heard several servants gossiping in a corner of the corridor.
Her face turned red and white. She stepped forward and reprimanded, "Gossiping about your master in public, do you have any manners!"
Upon seeing Qi Yuanyuan, the servants immediately scattered. Someone muttered, "You're not our master either."
Qi Yuanyuan clenched her fists. "Those dogs are all relying on their master's power!"
"Miss Qi, you're here. It's cold, come in and sit down quickly," Aunt Pei came out at the sound.
She was Qin Xinhong's personal maid.
Qi Yuanyuan took a deep breath to calm herself, turned, and put on her standard smile. "Okay, has Sister Xinhong woken up yet?"
"She's awake. She's waiting to have breakfast with you," Aunt Pei said with a smile.
After they entered the living room, a boy emerged from behind a wall.
Qin Jincheng's lips curved into a sneer.
What do they mean Seventh Master's 'law' is good? He clearly likes men. Even if he was drugged, he wouldn't be interested in women!
Qi Yuanyuan is also stupid. Who else could she like but Qin Beiting?
"Godmother, I'm here to have breakfast with you," he turned and entered the living room as well.
In the living room, Qin Xinhong was entertaining Qi Yuanyuan at the dining table. Seeing Qin Jincheng arrive, she said joyfully, "Jincheng, you're here."
Then, she asked Aunt Pei to quickly fetch more bowls and chopsticks.
"I was passing by a flower shop and thought these carnations looked beautiful, so I brought you a bunch,"
Qin Jincheng said, taking out the pink carnations he had hidden behind him and presenting them to her.
This tactic of his was very effective on Qin Xinhong. Carnations are the "flower of mothers," and such filial piety could satisfy her sense of maternal happiness.
"You thoughtful child. Go wash your hands, and sit down to eat breakfast together," Qin Xinhong smiled, took the flowers, and handed them to Aunt Pei.
Qin Jincheng went to the kitchen to wash his hands and returned, sitting next to Qin Xinhong, facing Qi Yuanyuan.
He smiled at Qi Yuanyuan and suddenly said:
"Miss Qi, you didn't have a very good time with my uncle last night, did you?"
Qi Yuanyuan had just managed to push the matter to the back of her mind, and now it was brought up again, her expression turning unpleasant.
"You child," Qin Xinhong playfully chided Qin Jincheng, then asked Qi Yuanyuan, "My uncle didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Thinking of the embarrassing situation last night, Qi Yuanyuan forced a smile and said:
"Seventh Master was very gentlemanly and a true gentleman. We didn't get to that point. He understood my intentions and respected my wishes."
"You don't need to make excuses. My uncle simply doesn't like women; he likes men," Qin Jincheng said bluntly.
Qi Yuanyuan's smile instantly turned more bitter than a cry.
If Qin Beiting really liked men, it would be so much better. She wouldn't be this humiliated.
But was that the truth?
No!
For her, the dignified eldest daughter of the Qi family, a prodigy who had been pampered since childhood, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
"Shut up, what do you know!" Qin Xinhong chided Qin Jincheng, then said to Qi Yuanyuan:
"The child is young and doesn't understand, don't take it to heart. If my uncle really liked men, he wouldn't be flirting with other women in Beishi, would he?"
Qi Yuanyuan: "..."
Instead of being comforted, she felt even more hurt.
"Last night was indeed a bit too hasty, and it was my oversight. I'll try a different approach next time. Don't worry, I, your father, and Second Grandma all like you very much. The position of Seventh Madam of the Qin family will be yours," Qin Xinhong guaranteed.
Qi Yuanyuan's complexion improved slightly. "Okay. I'll examine your body later."
Qin Xinhong was overjoyed. She had done all this, not only to win over Qi Yuanyuan but, more importantly, to have the anonymous divine physician examine her.
She was finally going to have her own biological child!
