Chapter 221: The Person She Likes

What could have happened to cause that fearful gaze appeared on the mature and steady Young Master Min?

Did he see a ghost?

“Brother Min, you…”

“Magic… not human…”

“What?” Qin Bailu thought that she had heard wrongly. She actually heard Min Nan say something like “magic” or “not human”. action

Wouldn’t that be bumping into a ghost?!

How could he bumop into a ghost in broad daylight?

For some reason, Qin Bailu suddenly recalled Yan Jinyu’s gaze when they were in North City…

He couldn’t help but shiver.

“B-Brother Min, what did you say?”

On the way back, he stumbled and almost got into an accident several times. Coupled with the fact that he almost hit a tree outside the Min family’s mansion and Qin Bailu’s interference, Min Nan had actually barely regained his senses.

He could not let others see him in such a sorry state.

However, he was really afraid. Hence, even though he tried his best to maintain his composure, he wanted to bring out his usual mature and steady side.

Hence, his expression looked weird.

“Nothing. Why did Bailu come to the Min family?”

Qin Bailu took two steps back. She was shocked.

She felt that Min Nan wanted to smile but could not. It was very scary for him to talk to her with a pale face and trembling eyes.

“I-I asked Sisi out so I’m here to pick her up.”

“You’re not going in?”

“Nah, I was just about to call her so I’ll just wait for her outside.”

“Okay, then you have to come over to the Min family’s house to have some fun sometime.” After saying that, he started the car.

Qin Bailu looked at him. “Brother Min, are you okay with this?”

“I’m fine. It’s just that my stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable. I feel much better now. I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Bailu.”

It was fine if he didn’t smile, but Qin Bailu found his smile even more frightening.

“It’s good that Brother Min is fine. We’re all acquaintances. What’s there to laugh about? Then, Brother Min, go back and rest early.” In front of outsiders, Qin Bailu was the gentle and sensible daughter of a big family. This could be seen from how she had fooled Qiu Jian in the past.

The moment Min Nan’s car started moving, people from the Min Family who the Qin family’s chauffeur called for had arrived. Qin Bailu said, “Brother Min suddenly had a stomachache and had an accident. He’s fine now.”

At that time, Min Nan’s car drove past smoothly, and the Min family’s security guard thanked them and left.

Qin Bailu stood where she was and watched as Min Nan drove into the Min family’s mansion. She was full of doubts.

When Min Nan saw her chauffeur bring out four or five security guards from the Min family, why did he not stop to get out of the car and ask about the situation?

Was he really frightened by a ghost? Did he not have the time to bother about others?

In fact, Qin Bailu was not entirely wrong. Min Nan was really frightened. He forced himself to talk to Qin Bailu for a while. Now, the fear in his heart overwhelmed him again. He could not care about anyone else.

He didn’t even see those security guards.

However, he was not frightened by a ghost but by a human.

Qin Bailu had doubts in her heart, but she didn’t think too much about it. The intimate scene between Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu left her angry, indignant, and jealous.

She made a call to Min Sisi and sat back in the car. About ten minutes later, Min Sisi arrived.

Min Sisi’s looks were slightly better than Qin Bailu’s.

She was an obedient girl who wore a pair of round black glasses.

She didn’t look like a bookworm. Instead, the pair of glasses made her look scholarly.

Apart from that, she also carried a small black backpack and held a medical book in her hands. It seemed like she had taken time out of her busy studies to accompany Qin Bailu.

Qin Bailu frowned when she saw Min Sisi like this.

They were going out so what was the point of bringing books?

What an act!

She rolled down the window and smiled brightly. “Sisi, you’re here?”

“Yes.” When Min Sisi smiled, she looked warm and gentle like a lady from a wealthy family.

“Bailu, why are you suddenly going out? Or are you going to join the elders? I was planning to stay at home and read for the day.”

Holding the book with one hand, she adjusted her glasses with her gloved hand and looked down at the book in her hand. “I planned to finish memorizing this book in two days. I originally planned to not go out for the next two days.”

Qin Bailu’s smile froze.

Did she just say that she had disturbed her reading?

Who knew if she was really reading or pretending?

She put on a fake smile and said, “Sorry for wasting your time.”

“Sisi, you know that I have been participating in competitions outside for this period of time. After I came back, I wanted to go out for a walk. But Jianjian… the only friends I have are you and Jianjian. I don’t know where Jianjian is now. I really don’t know who to ask for a meet up.”

“Don’t say that. I didn’t say that you’re wasting my time. I’m just curious. If you want to go out for a walk, we can go shopping or play by ourselves. Why do you want to join the elders?”

Qin Bailu had already thought of a reason.

She said shyly, “It’s like this. I’m already 19 years old. My parents told me to show my face in front of all the ladies whenever I have the chance and leave a good impression. Maybe I can make a good marriage alliance in the future.”

“As you know, being born in a family like ours, we will have to marry for an alliance in the future.”

“Since we can’t escape the fate of marriage alliance, we should try our best to leave a good impression in front of our future mother-in-law. We can also find out from the elders which family’s descendants are more outstanding and choose a good marriage partner to make our future better.”

“But I often participate in training competitions outside and rarely have the chance to interact with the elders. I just want to take this opportunity…”

“Sisi, I know that the elders like you very much, and you’re more familiar with them than I am, so I thought of asking you to come along. That way, since the elders like you, perhaps they will like me as well.”

After that, she spat inwardly.

She didn’t think Min Sisi was better than her. Min Sisi was just better at currying favor than her, that’s all.

“And I have a little gossip I want to talk to you about. Don’t stand outside. Get in the car first. We’ll talk in the car.”

Min Sisi nodded, opened the door of the backseat and got in.

She placed the medical book on her lap and placed her hands on top of the book. She was prim and proper.

Qin Bailu was disgusted.

“Sisi, Mrs. Yin is your aunt and she likes you very much. Have you heard about what happened in the Yin family yesterday?”

Min Sisi smiled and asked, “What do you mean? Is it about Second Cousin returning to the Yin residence, or about Second Cousin bringing his fiancée back to the Yin residence?”

Fiancée…

Qin Bailu clenched her fists!

Min Sisi was such a fool. To think that she didn’t care that she was Mrs. Yin’s chosen daughter-in-law at all!

“So you knew, Sisi. Of course, I’m not talking about this. I’m talking about what happened just now. Guess who I met on the way to your house?”

“Who did you meet?”

“Master Nine and Yan Jinyu! Their car brushed past me. I saw them.”

“To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen Master Nine treat a girl so well. Master Nine even pinched Yan Jinyu’s face intimately. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.” Qin Bailu tried her best to suppress her anger, trying to show that she was indeed gossiping.

“Is that so?”

“I didn’t expect my strict second cousin to have such a side.”

“Old Madam Yin should be at ease now that she knows about it. After all, she was the one who arranged the marriage for Second Cousin. The two of them getting along well should be what Old Madam Yin wants to see the most.”

She looked at Qin Bailu. “But Bailu, don’t gossip about my second cousin anymore. It’s fine if you gossip with me, but we’re friends. I won’t harm you, but if you gossip with others and my second cousin hears about it…”

“You know my second cousin’s temper…”

“I’m afraid you’ll be in big trouble by then.”

“Even if you just came back from the competition, you should have heard about what happened not long ago in the capital. My second cousin… will not show mercy to those who provoke him. Now, in the capital, many people are still trembling in fear.”

She kept calling him Second Cousin as if she was very close to Master Nine. Did Master Nine remember someone like Min Sisi?

How dare she lecture her!

Min Sisi was really shameless!

“I only dared to tell you because I’m on good terms with you. If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn’t say much.”

A scheming glint flashed across her eyes. “Sisi, you’re so outstanding and Mrs. Yin likes you so much. Have you ever thought of marrying into the Yin family?”

Min Sisi glared at her. “What nonsense are you spouting!”

“That’s my cousin!” She seemed a little angry.

“Besides, I’m determined to be the best doctor in Imperial Capital Hospital. I don’t want to think about anything else for the time being apart from learning and improving my medical knowledge.”

“Bailu, aren’t you very outstanding too? My aunt likes you very much too. Haven’t you thought about it? Moreover, my second cousin is such a good man…”

“But even if you have the intention, I’m afraid it won’t work. My second cousin already has an engagement and he’s so concerned about Miss Yan. I’m afraid you won’t have the chance.”

Qin Bailu almost lost her composure.

“What are you talking about, Sisi?!”

“That’s Master Nine. I’m a coward so I don’t dare to have any ideas! I just feel pity for you. In the entire capital, who is more worthy of Master Nine than you? Furthermore, Mrs. Yin likes you so much.”

“Don’t say such things in the future. If Second Cousin hears about it… Bailu, don’t cause trouble for me. Don’t think that Second Cousin and I are cousins, but actually, I’m quite afraid of him.”

“I know, I know. Who in the capital isn’t afraid of Master Nine?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t say it again.”

“What kind of man do you want to marry in the future, Sisi?”

Min Sisi suddenly revealed a smile that Qin Bailu had never seen before.

It was dazzling, confident and sure.

“Naturally it will be the most dazzling man in my eyes.”

Qin Bailu was stunned for a moment. Then, she calmed herself down and asked with a smile, “Sis, do you… have someone you like?”

“Bailu, I’m already 19 years old. Is it strange that I have someone I like in my heart? I said that I want to be the best doctor in the Imperial Capital Hospital, but I didn’t say that I won’t marry in the future! Besides, I was born in the Min family. It’s impossible that I won’t marry for the rest of my life.”

“Then, Sisi, the person you like is…”

Min Sisi smiled. “It’s a secret.”

“Alright, since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask anymore. I’ll only ask you one question. Are you confident that you can marry the person you like?”

“Of course!” Min Sisi replied without any hesitation. She sounded very confident.

“The person who will accompany him for the rest of his life can only be me!”

“Sisi, you really can’t tell me who it is?”

“I can’t. You’ll find out eventually, so what’s the rush?”

She looked out of the car. “Are we not there yet?”

Qin Bailu looked at her deeply and didn’t pursue further.

Who cared who Min Sisi liked? As long as it wasn’t Master Nine.

This way, she would have one less strong competitor!

“It’s almost time. We just need to take a turn along this road.”

Qin Bailu had checked the route before she came.

She had to know Mrs. Yin’s attitude towards Yan Jinyu today!
