Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet
chapter-2271

When Lin Que heard this question, his heart skipped a beat before his heart rate quickened.

They better not let that little ancestor find anything out…

“Both male and female,” Si Yehan replied.

“Eh? There are women? What do they do?”

“She was related to the Arbitration Council’s Vice President.”

“Oh? How old is she? Is she pretty?”

“Nearly 40. I didn’t pay attention to her looks.”

Ye Wanwan seemed to finally be assuaged. “Alright~ It can’t be helped since it’s seriously too dangerous for you to be in Tianshui City by yourself! What if you catch someone’s eye?!”

Si Yehan: “…”

Lin Que thought: He’s already caught someone’s eye!!!

“Ah-Jiu, I’m telling you. Gong Xu sent me a message yesterday to help him choose a script, and then I found an especially melodramatic script!”

“The male lead’s mother didn’t like the female lead and didn’t want them to be together. To break them up, she arranged for a prettier girl to seduce the male lead, and then, tsk tsk, the male lead couldn’t withstand the test. And that made me think of us—our situation is practically identical…”

When Lin Que, whose ears were perked up, heard that, his heart raised to his throat. He nervously turned to Si Yehan.

Si Yehan’s voice managed to stay composed. “That’s just a script. Such a thing wouldn’t happen in reality.”

Ye Wanwan instantly retorted, “Why wouldn’t it happen? This might be a script, and the story might be very melodramatic, but it’s extremely possible it’d happen, alright?”

“There can’t be a girl better looking than you,” Si Yehan stated.

Ye Wanwan: “…”

Lin Que: “…”

Ye Wanwan said, “Hehe, baby, I like it when you speak the honest truth!”

After Si Yehan said that, Ye Wanwan was completely placated and elatedly kissed the phone before ending the call.

Lin Que was amazed as he listened to this couple’s conversation. Ninth Brother’s survival instincts were simply…

There wasn’t a problem with any of the answers, but he managed to avoid the important things and dwell on the trivial with every answer.

What made it even more remarkable was that he actually said Qin Xiyuan was nearly 40.

However, Si Yehan also said he didn’t pay attention to her, so you couldn’t say he was wrong for not knowing the age…

Those final sweet words were the cherry on top…

Lin Que couldn’t help but muse that Ninth Brother had dramatically improved in a certain area after getting a girlfriend.

After hanging up the call, Si Yehan pinched his brows, releasing an obvious sigh of relief.

He uneasily managed to pacify Ye Wanwan and made her obediently wait for his news, so he naturally couldn’t tell her about the events tonight…

This minor trouble would be resolved very soon. He believed that Qin Zong would change his mind after he expressed his attitude clearly.

He knew that this decision would greatly increase the difficulty of his future plans, which was why he didn’t intend to take the Qin Zong method.

However…

This time, Si Yehan hadn’t anticipated an even trickier situation to arise.

The next day, early in the morning:

Qin Zong brought Qin Xiyuan to the Arbitration Council’s office building for a tour and learning experience.

Qin Xiyuan not only studied the Twelve Independent States’ laws thoroughly but was also well-versed in the laws of the other countries in the world, so she had the title of senior consultant in the Arbitration Council.

Qin Zong evidently wanted to elevate her to the position of Director too.

In the hallway, Qin Xiyuan was surrounded by a gathering of employees like planets revolving around the sun.

However, Si Yehan was currently inside the archive room on the top floor, so Qin Xiyuan didn’t run into him despite walking through the building once.

It wasn’t until nighttime that Qin Xiyuan caught him at the entrance.
