Qiao Yin shook her head, “I haven’t intentionally hidden myself before. I’ve revealed my abilities, but he didn’t believe me. Furthermore, breaching the Tiansheng System was an accident. When it was posted on the hacker site ‘crisis’, I thought it was just a common bounty and took it. I didn’t know it was developed by Shengling Group.”
“Fine, let’s not dwell on the past. However, I suggest you keep hiding your abilities and don’t let others find out for the time being. It’s advantageous for us if you stay in the dark while others are out in the open.”
Qiao Yin understood clearly that the “others” he was referring to were indeed Lu Lingche.
She nodded: “Alright, Young Master Mu.”
She had never intended for Lu Lingche to know. Having Dongfang Mu’s protection was even more advantageous.
Otherwise, if Lu Lingche knew the truth about her, other things might happen that could make her life even harder.
Half an hour later, Qiao Yin was sent home by Dongfang Mu.
She took a shower, changed her clothes, then left again by cab, planning to return to the auction house to continue her work.
Dongfang Mu sat in the car, watching Qiao Yin from a distance as she got into a taxi, his eyes filled with interest.
Secretary Wan had been waiting with him for a while: “Young Master Mu, have you been waiting for Miss Qiao all this time, perhaps to offer her a ride again?”
Dongfang Mu explained agreeably: “Pursuing too ardently might scare her away. She’s not like other women. She’s too independent and doesn’t like to be indebted to others. Being too good to her might actually burden her, it’s better to not overdo it.”
It seemed strange to Secretary Wan that the usual high and mighty scion of the Dongfang Family would mention something about limiting his actions.
“Haven’t you always been relentless in your pursuits? So far, you have never failed. Why are you afraid that intense pursuit will scare her off this time?”
“She hasn’t divorced yet. I guess Lu Lingche has hurt her deeply and she’s quite wary of me.”
As Dongfang Mu spoke, he felt a bit of a headache. He had never encountered someone like Qiao Yin who was impervious to both persuasion and pressure.
However, the more this was the case, the more interested he became.
For him, if a woman could be won over too quickly, his interest would wane just as quickly and he would find it uninteresting.
Lan’s Hospital.
In the luxurious VIP ward, comparable to a five-star hotel, Lan Yuyi leant against the head of the bed, her face pale, but still forcing a smile at Lu Lingche, “Lingche, I’m fine. You don’t need to have so many bodyguards guarding me.”
Lu Lingche looked at her wrist, which was tightly wrapped in gauze, and slightly furrowed his brows, “Your safety will be their responsibility in the future. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me, but don’t resort to such extreme methods.”
With tears falling from her eyes, Lan Yuyi said, “Miss Qiao is your legitimate wife. I’m nothing. She threatened to sue me, to reclaim the gifts you gave me, and I just couldn’t take it. At that moment, I felt life was meaningless. I thought I might as well join my child in another world, where your elder brother is probably waiting for me.”
Suppressing his impatience, Lu Lingche said, “Then why didn’t you tell her that although the gifts were from me, they were actually ordered by my elder brother before his death and were charged to his account, not mine?”
Lan Yuyi looked surprised, “What? It wasn’t your money?”
“Didn’t I tell you when the necklace was delivered to you?”
“No, I don’t remember you saying that! I thought it was you who bought it for me. I was in turmoil. I didn’t know whether to wear it or not, so I thought about auctioning it.”
Lu Lingche calmly looked at her, seemingly assessing the veracity of her words.
But he quickly averted his gaze.
Whether her words were true or false was no longer important. What mattered was that he couldn’t let anything happen to her.
He placed the necklace by the bed, “Qiao Yin has returned the necklace. Keep it safe. It was ordered by my elder brother before his death, intended for your wedding. If you want to sell something, sell something else. This can’t be sold.”
Caressing the necklace, Lan Yuyi said in a low voice, “I understand. It’s so meaningful, I won’t sell it.”
Lu Lingche nodded, asked her to rest well and then left the hospital.
Upon returning home, he saw Madam Lu waiting for him in the living room.
The moment he stepped through the door, Madam Lu angrily smashed a glass cup..
