Chapter 785: 0785 Touching Hands, Encountering a Love Rival! (Third Update)
Wushan City.
Unlike Zhongshan City, Wushan City is a city filled with ancient charm, with a long history. It was once a place where ancient nobles and generals resided. Every year, the number of tourists visiting Wushan City reaches several million.
Once you enter the ancient and antique-filled Wushan City, it feels like you’re stepping into an ancient land. Thankfully, there are tall buildings in the distance, confirming that this is indeed the modern world.
Upon arriving in Wushan City, Lin Qiao’er, despite being furious with Ye Qiu for his constant bluffs and daring to flirt with her, had to hold back her anger.
After all, if she lost her temper again, Ye Qiu would just walk away.
"When we get to my house, follow my lead, and remember, you mustn’t reveal anything," Lin Qiao’er instructed.
Ye Qiu raised his eyes and laughed, "No problem, I do this sort of thing all the time, I understand, I really do."
Lin Qiao’er felt a vein popping in frustration. What do you mean you do the ’pretend boyfriend’ thing all the time? Could it be that Lin Qiao’er has actually found herself a repeat offender?
Ye Qiu chuckled twice, thinking about pretending to be a boyfriend. He really did have experience in that, having helped Shangguan Hong to fend off Yin Shaoxiong.
Of course, such matters are best not to explain too clearly to Lin Qiao’er, lest it provokes this hot-tempered policewoman.
Pulling up the car, Ye Qiu saw an ancient-style mansion, never expecting Lin Qiao’er’s ancestral home to be so full of charm and poetic allure.
Could it be that this girl is from a large, scholarly family?
Seemingly guessing what Ye Qiu was thinking, Lin Qiao’er’s eyes gleamed with pride as she said, "Surprised, aren’t you? You’re not mistaken, this is indeed my old home. Let’s go, let’s go in."
After speaking, Lin Qiao’er was about to step in but was pulled back by Ye Qiu.
"I say, Officer Lin, if we just walk in like this, anyone would think we’re not a couple," Ye Qiu remarked.
"Then what makes us look like a couple?" Lin Qiao’er asked, frowning, always feeling a mocking smile on Ye Qiu’s face.
Ye Qiu simply stated, "Officer Lin, even if you’ve never eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs run, right? Look at any couple that walks by, they’re either holding hands or wrapping arms around each other’s waist."
"You..." Lin Qiao’er appeared about to lose her temper.
Ye Qiu quickly made a ’stop’ gesture and said, "I’m only thinking of your best interests. Otherwise, if your family notices I’m faking, you’ll be the one who suffers."
Lin Qiao’er took a deep breath to suppress her anger and said, "Fine, so what should we do?"
Ye Qiu replied with a smile, "Give me your hand."
Lin Qiao’er hesitated for a moment, but eventually extended her delicate hand. Ye Qiu chuckled and firmly grabbed it, entwining his hands with hers.
Immediately afterward, Ye Qiu stood tall and proud, saying with bravado, "Now we look the part. Let’s go, to meet your future mother-in-law."
Lin Qiao’er had no choice but to let Ye Qiu hold her hand as they walked towards the courtyard.
Ye Qiu thought to himself, "Earlier you wouldn’t let me touch your hand, and now it’s legitimate, right?"
Seemingly catching onto Ye Qiu’s smug and proud demeanor, Lin Qiao’er pinched Ye Qiu hard, but to no avail. Ye Qiu didn’t show a hint of pain, instead placing his other hand around her waist.
In an instant, the distance between the two of them grew incredibly close.
"You..." Lin Qiao’er tried to pull away, but then she heard Ye Qiu whisper in her ear, "Your family is watching."
Hearing this, Lin Qiao’er instantly behaved, allowing Ye Qiu’s hand to stay wrapped around her waist.
With one hand wrapped around the beauty’s waist and the other clutching the hand of the fair lady, especially since this lady was the fiery-tempered policewoman Lin Qiao’er.
Ye Qiu’s heart was bursting with satisfaction, not because he felt petty about his victory, but because the feeling of making Lin Qiao’er feel embarrassed without daring to strike him was exhilarating.
"Qiao’er, you’re back," said a middle-aged woman with a warm face as she came to greet them.
"Auntie." Lin Qiao’er smiled unnaturally, mainly because, at that moment, Ye Qiu was mischievously scratching the palm of her hand, making her itch—this detestable guy...
Lin Qiao’er was fuming inside, but on the outside, she had to pretend to be very happy.
Although Ye Qiu’s other hand around her waist wasn’t exactly idle, he was still keeping it within bounds, not going too far, yet still earning several murderous glances from Lin Qiao’er.
"Qiao’er, who is this?" The middle-aged woman asked when she saw the young man standing close to Lin Qiao’er.
Lin Qiao’er squeezed out a smile and said, "This is my boyfriend, Ye Qiu."
"Oh... Little Ye!" The middle-aged woman blinked before smiling and hurriedly invited the two of them inside.
"Ye Qiu, I’m warning you, behave yourself," Lin Qiao’er whispered to Ye Qiu as they walked toward the living room.
Ye Qiu couldn’t care less; he was unafraid. There weren’t many opportunities to make Lin Qiao’er unable to immediately explode in anger, and seeing her pouting look, Ye Qiu thought this feeling was pretty good.
Lin Qiao’er was filled with regret at this point. She knew all along that Ye Qiu was a Casanova, yet she had still willingly walked into the trap, truly screwing herself over. But now that she was at her home, it was impossible to take Ye Qiu down a peg, so she had to tough it out and keep up the pretense.
"Qiao’er’s mom, look who’s back," the middle-aged woman called out, and soon, several middle-aged men and women of similar ages came out of the living room.
Among them, Ye Qiu saw a woman who looked similar to Lin Qiao’er but was slightly older, presumably Lin Qiao’er’s mother, while the man standing next to her must be Lin Qiao’er’s father.
"You girl, Qiao’er, didn’t you promise to come back yesterday? Why only come back today?" Lin’s mother said.
Before Lin Qiao’er could offer an explanation, Ye Qiu preempted her by saying, "Auntie, Qiao’er wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so she rested on the way and only arrived early this morning."
"Oh? And who is this young man?"
"I’m Qiao’er’s boyfriend; Auntie can just call me Little Ye," Ye Qiu said.
"Qiao’er’s boyfriend?" Lin’s mother blinked, her expression somewhat strange.
Lin’s mother glanced at Lin’s father, and both seemed to have an unusual look on their faces. Could it be...
Ye Qiu quickly noticed a young man standing behind everyone in the living room, watching them.
Does it have something to do with this person?
At that moment, Lin’s mother pulled Lin Qiao’er aside and said, "You girl, didn’t you say you didn’t have a boyfriend? How did you find one so quickly?"
Lin Qiao’er wanted to explain, but Lin’s mother continued, "The family thought you would come back alone, so they even found a candidate for an arranged marriage, but you..."
A candidate for an arranged marriage?
Lin Qiao’er couldn’t help but look toward the living room where a rather handsome young man stood with a gloomy face.
Ye Qiu, with his quick wits, instantly grasped the situation before him.
He couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly; it seemed his fake role as the boyfriend was about to be challenged by an unexpected rival.
