Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 491: His Fingers Seemed to Still Linger at Her Lips...

Qin Xin’s heartbeat, "thump thump," never stopping.

The man pulled her into his embrace and casually turned off the lights.

In the pitch-black room, he and she were just inches apart.

His cheek almost pressed tightly against hers.

A strong hand covered her lips, sealing her mouth.

Outside the door, there were still Mrs. Nalan and a group of enthusiastic fans, all puzzled: "Eh? There were quite a few people backstage just now? Why is the VIP lounge locked and the lights off? Where’s our Mr. Yun, where did he go?"

Mrs. Nalan was even more frustrated: "My brat said he’d come pick me up, but I have no idea where he went. Didn’t see a shadow of him. Raising a son really is unreliable..."

But then she brightened up: "Mr. Yun looks just like my daughter-in-law! I’m gonna introduce him to my daughter-in-law!"

After a while.

The voices outside the door gradually died down.

The backstage lights were shut off by the cleaner.

Nalan Ye Jue gently released his hand and whispered in her ear: "Sorry, I was afraid they’d bother you."

If Mrs. Nalan were to confirm on the spot that Mr. Yun was actually Qin Xin, the house would probably become lively after that. Mrs. Nalan, as an enthusiastic fan, might throw him aside and occupy all of Qin Xin’s free time.

That can’t happen.

The little woman belongs to him.

If anyone is to occupy her time, it should be him.

Qin Xin rubbed her forehead: "Actually, it wasn’t much of a bother. Auntie and the others, they’re quite adorable."

To come up with using aliases to write signs supporting her, these mom fans are really quite something, right?

Nalan Ye Jue couldn’t fathom where the jealousy came from: "And what about me?"

Qin Xin: "Huh?"

She didn’t catch it.

Nalan Ye Jue: "Am I, as the number one fan, not...adorable?"

Even this kind of jealousy needs to be felt?

Qin Xin coughed several times: "Your flowers, they’re quite nice. Thank you."

At that moment, she thought his fingers seemed to be brushing against her lips.

That faint scent of mint lingered around her lips!

The man is truly captivating!

Even while sitting in his car returning to Xinghe Bay, Qin Xin felt a tad uneasy, her cheeks seeming to glow.

When she got out of the car, she realized she’d been taken back to his place again. She paused: "Uh... I think I’ll head back to the dorm."

Even though school hadn’t started yet, with Xiangxiang there, she wouldn’t be lacking for food.

If she stayed at the man’s place, how would the sleeping arrangement be settled?

With Xiao Shuang absent, it definitely wouldn’t be convenient to share a bed with him, but suddenly suggesting to sleep in the guest room—who knows what he’d think.

So heading back to the dorm seemed like the best choice.

As soon as she spoke, she heard the man laugh: "You’re already at the doorstep, can you bear going back alone, leaving us all behind?"

"Us?"

What’s that mean?

The man pressed the doorbell.

Inside the villa came the sound of quick slippered steps: "Brother-in-law! Sis!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Qin Xiaoshuang popped out from behind the door, smiling so brightly she seemed airborne.

Qin Xin rubbed her forehead: "..."

This little one has such perfect timing in showing up!

"Aren’t you coming home for the New Year? What are you doing at Mr. Nalan’s place?" Qin Xin asked teasingly.

Qin Xiaoshuang said sadly: "Sis, you don’t know how miserable my New Year was. Mom spent the entire New Year’s Eve just revolving around that fibster for the music gala, practicing piano with her, and they went out every day finding private tutors, not coming home. Since there were no adults at home, the servants got lazy, always reheating leftovers for me. I even had cold food and got sick on the first day of the year..."

Seeing Qin Xiaoshuang’s already fragile health further decline, with unsure meals over the New Year period, her face turning somewhat sallow again, Qin Xin felt deeply concerned.
