The last weekend before the business trip.
Nalan Ye Jue was working overti in the office handling docunts.
Secretary Lu ca in to present the itinerary: "Young Master, everything is ready. The dications, daily necessities, and ergency supplies have all been shipped over."
Nalan Ye Jue glanced at the itinerary: "Okay."
Lu Yi expressed his concern: "Young Master, is it really okay for you to go alone? What if... sothing happens?"
Nalan Ye Jue: "What could happen?"
Lu Yi was montarily speechless.
This business trip was not an ordinary one for the Young Master.
It was the ti for his biannual recurrence of old health issues.
As long as there were no won around the Young Master, he could get through this recurrence without any problems, and then smoothly pass another six months.
In previous years, the Young Master also avoided the Imperial City and got through it.
But half a year ago, due to so delays, he stayed in the Imperial City and ended up being caught by the young lady...
So, rationally, leaving the Imperial City to heal is the right choice.
Yet for so reason, Lu Yi still felt inexplicably worried: "Young Master, perhaps I could bring so brothers to escort you..."
Nalan Ye Jue waved off his suggestion: "Rember your duty. Stay in the Imperial City and protect her well."
He wasn’t worried about himself at all.
On the contrary, there was that little woman, full of mysteries, and he didn’t know how many people wanted to rip off her disguise and do her harm.
The last ti the Imperial University’s teaching building collapsed, he didn’t want a second occurrence.
Of course, Lu Yi knew who the Young Master was referring to as "her."
Miss Qin, of course.
"Rest assured, Young Master, security at Xinghe Bay has been enhanced. The Royal Academy has also sent our people in. However... Miss Qin hasn’t been attending school in recent days; she’s only returned to Qin Group a few tis for shareholder etings."
Lu Yi reported in an orderly manner.
"Furthermore, the Qin Family has been quite docile lately, with no disturbances. Mrs. Qin was kicked out of the shareholders’ etings and remains at ho all day, shut in. Qin Wenrou, failing to maintain her facade, has beco quite infamous for her terrible piano skills and hasn’t dared to act out. Little Master Xiao Shuang is comparatively worry-free; he’s doing well in his studies and guitar. Miss Qin doesn’t seem to have much to worry about recently. I’ve seen her at ho occasionally drawing so incomprehensible diagrams..."
Nalan Ye Jue: "Mmm. Let her do as she pleases."
Lu Yi was in the middle of his report.
Suddenly, the receptionist called him through the intercom: "Secretary Lu, there’s a visitor in the lobby looking for Mr. Emperor..."
Lu Yi frowned: "Do they have an appointnt?"
Receptionist: "They don’t have an appointnt, that’s why..."
Lu Yi: "Tell them, no appointnt, no eting."
The receptionist hesitated: "But she claims to be the Young Master’s future mother-in-law."
Lu Yi: "Cough, cough, cough, what future mother-in-law, nonsense!"
Seeing Nalan Ye Jue’s slightly darkened expression, Lu Yi quickly spoke into the intercom: "Who exactly is daring enough to impersonate the Young Master’s mother-in-law?"
Receptionist: "This lady said her surna is Qin..."
At this mont, Lu Yi wished he could disappear: "..."
Nalan Ye Jue gave him a cold glance.
So, this is what you ant by the Qin Family being quite docile recently? Are you sure they’re really that docile?
==
Mrs. Qin sat uneasily opposite Nalan Ye Jue.
Until today, she thought eting soone like Jun Ruyi, a darling of the heavens, face-to-face was incredibly stressful.
Now she realized what it ant to be truly suppressed without showing a trace.
Nalan Ye Jue was very courteous, having the secretary serve her tea and snacks, even addressing her faintly as "Mrs. Qin."
But for so reason, she still felt as if she were surrounded by an icy chill, unable to stop her hands from wanting to tremble.
This man, appearing gentle and cultivated, nevertheless possessed such a powerful and intimidating aura that made one fear him inexplicably.
