The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast-Chapter 657: Yuanyuan Falls in Love

Qin Xin paused in his steps, turned back to look at the handsome man concealed in the darkness, his face half-illuminated in the night, and counter-asked, "What about you? Do you truly want to be her brother, or are you just using her?"

Gu Yixing chuckled softly, "There are many masters of Mysticism, I too have found one to protect myself."

Qin Xin nodded, "Master Ma can protect both me and my elder brother too."

Gu Yixing, "So it’s not her you are relying on."

Qin Xin nodded, "We do not want our sister to master this path, but it seems that fate decreed it so."

Gu Yixing, "I understand."

Qin Xin turned around, opened the door, and returned to the villa.

In the night breeze, Gu Yixing gazed at the window of Little Taotie’s room in the villa until the lights went out; then he returned to his car and drove away.

If Qin Xin had not provided a satisfactory answer today, tomorrow’s public opinion would cast Gu Yixing as intending to adopt Little Taotie.

He looked at the two file folders beside him, containing all the information on Hei Chengguodong and Qin Xin.

Once exposed, whether true or false, they would lose the qualification to adopt Little Taotie.

He would then be able to snatch Little Taotie quite justifiably.

However, the answer Qin Xin gave was barely passable, so there was no need to exacerbate the situation too severely.

Arriving back home, he looked around the empty house, his mood sinking; he opened the liquor cabinet and started drinking a bottle of red wine.

His insomnia was worsening; only by working until exhaustion on set, or drinking himself into oblivion could he manage to sleep.

...

Little Taotie arrived at the Special Department in high spirits, only to find Sister Yuanyuan looking distressed.

"Sister Yuanyuan, what’s wrong?"

Today, Sister Yuanyuan was strangely not clutching any snacks!

The colleagues had noticed Yuanyuan’s unusual demeanor and had asked about it, but Yuanyuan merely sighed without responding.

When Little Taotie asked however, Yuanyuan hesitated for a long time before whispering, "I feel a bit inferior."

Little Taotie blinked, eyes filled with small question marks.

"A few days ago, I went to a charity banquet thinking to auction some items and the money could be donated... but everything was just so expensive, I felt so poor."

Xiangxiang interjected as she passed by, "Your salary isn’t low, it’s just that you eat too much and spend yourself into poverty."

Mo Haihao glanced at Xiangxiang: Do you even have the right to comment? Are her snacks more expensive than your cosmetics?

Of course, he dared not voice these thoughts, only dared to grumble in his heart.

Yuanyuan sighed, "So I’ve decided to start saving money, and not eat so much anymore." freewebnoveℓ.com

Little Taotie was surprised, "Won’t you be hungry?"

Yuanyuan’s stomach cooperatively growled, "Gurgle~"

Yuanyuan, "..."

She covered her stomach sheepishly, muttering, "Letting me down!"

Little Taotie offered a stick of ham, "Want some?"

Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up, she swallowed her saliva, but still suppressed her desire and shook her head, "No, I need to diet."

"Diet?" Little Taotie widened her eyes in disbelief, "Why are you dieting?"

Yuanyuan sighed, "The dress that was gifted to me, I barely managed to fit into it."

Xiangxiang caught the hint and leaned in closer, "Dinners again and gifts of dresses, it’s a man, right?"

Yuanyuan lowered her head and remained silent.

Xiangxiang, "Not talking means you agree! Oh my god, Yuanyuan is dating someone!"

The colleagues gathered around, chattering.

"Yuanyuan, what is he like?"

"Can you show us a picture?"

"Let us take a look for you, just to make sure you aren’t being deceived!"

"There are plenty of bad men out there; we’ll help you screen them!"

"You’re new to dating and don’t know, men can be so bad, let us help you check him out!"
