Don’t you already know where they are from?” Rong Yue shot back, her eyes gleaming with mischief as she looked at Qin Yichen.

If it was anyone that had dared to talk to him like that, Qin Yichen might have gotten angry. But it was his little girl. He smiled and stretched his hand to her head. Rubbing her head gently.

Rong Yue said nothing as Qin Yichen pulled her into his embrace, his scent enveloping her nostrils completely.

She was also looking at the screen that the system had projected forward. Her eyes took in the identities of the men. Just like she had guessed, they were from DRK.

Just thinking of Mo Yifan and his beautiful appearance, Rong Yue’s brows furrowed. The man was not hard to read, but his intentions and persona were a little difficult to understand.

However, even if it didn’t feel like he had bad intentions, Rong Yue wasn’t sure she wanted anything to do with someone in the underworld.

“What would you do about the men?” Qin Yichen asked, knowing very well that her threat to kill them didn’t stand.

“Now that I’m back, he will pay me a visit himself.”

Qin Yichen nodded, and the both of them talked about the launch that was this weekend.

Since she knew that Qin Yichen must have dealt with things like this several times, she shared her thoughts with him and noted his suggestions, which were helpful.

By the time they drove into their street, Rong Yue was already tired and had dozed off to sleep.

“Drive slower,” Qin Yichen told Lu San, who understood and brought the car to a gradual slow.

Qin Yichen pulled out his phone and sent messages to a certain someone.

Even if he didn’t want to interfere too much in her matters, he was also unwilling to allow another man to make a move on his woman!

Since Mo Yifan seemed to have a lot of free time on his hands, it was only normal that he gave him some work to do!

Just before the car parked, Qin Yichen put his phone back into his pocket and wrapped his free arm around Rong Yue.

When they had just met, Rong Yue would have woken up startled if he had placed his hands around her like this. But now, her acceptance of him had seeped beyond how she showed it.

He carried her out of the car while Lu San trailed behind them. Looking at his master carrying a woman with that tender and gentle look on his face, he was tempted to take a picture and send it to the others.

But in the end, he didn’t dare to do it. Only looking long enough to keep the memory in his mind.

Qin Yichen carried Rong Yue upstairs and pressed the code to their house. When he entered, Rong Xia was seated on the couch, watching TV while eating some snacks.

She looked up when she saw them coming in and returned to watching her television. Qin Yichen glanced at her briefly before taking Rong Yue inside the room.

Unlike Rong Yue and all the other people that had stayed around Rong Xia, he didn’t buy her act, and so after taking off Rong Yue’s shoes and tucking in her bed. He went to sit beside Rong Xia.

“Is your life in danger?” He asked casually, as though the both of them had discussed something before this conversation.

Rong Xia’s face still had a clueless look, and she looked in the direction of Rong Yue’s room.

“Is Xiao Yue in trouble?”

Qin Yichen leaned back as he looked at Rong Xia’s innocent appearance. It was really easy to buy her act that she knew nothing about what he was saying.

However, since his heart was set on Rong Yue, Qin Yichen was not the type to deal with uncertainties.

“Yue’er isn’t that delicate. Even if you want to hide from the rest of the world, you are taking away her chance of having a normal mother because you want to protect her.” He paused, looking at the door to Rong Yue’s room.

“Eventually, she would find out, and I don’t think that any explanation would be enough to make her accept that you have deceived her for so long.”

At this point, Rong Xia’s expression changed and she increased the volume of the TV series she was watching.

“And you plan to tell her?”

Qin Yichen chuckled lowly, his previously restrained aura bursting out and filling the room. However, Rong Xia wasn’t affected one bit and her gaze was still piercing into his.

“When she agrees to become my woman officially, I can’t promise not to tell her…” he paused, arching his brows while his eyes gleamed with an emotion Rong Xia couldn’t read.

“You can’t expect me to lie to my woman, right?”

Rong Xia scoffed, anger brimming through her eyes.

“You are dealing with a matter that is bigger than you, no one loves Xiao Yue more than me, and I want to keep her safe.”

“With or without you,”

The room was tense. Each person set to do what they thought was right. Qin Yichen finally broke the eye contact that they had kept and stood up.

“Yue’er is like a diamond. There’s no hiding her. No matter how many times you make her alter her appearance. Her dazzling light is still going to make whatever it is you are running from find her.”

“And when it does, she wouldn’t be prepared to fight it.”

After saying his piece, he left their house.

As much as he wanted to make her confess. He loved Rong Yue and didn’t want to cross a path of no return with her mother.

And so, even though he had known she was only pretending to be sick in the last four months, he had acted like he didn’t notice. After all, it was her life.

However, when she made Rong Yue alter her appearance for the competition, it made him understand that whatever reason she was doing this for, the threat still existed.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t make her daughter do that. And to Qin Yichen, nothing was as important as making sure that his little girl was safe.

Because of that, he spoke up. But from what he could see, it was clear that Rong Xia was still intent on hiding whatever it was from her daughter.
