Chapter 1168: The Title "Madam" Rang Out Loud and Clear

Nalan Ye Jue imagined countless times the scene of Qin Xin waking up.

Many scenes included passionately kissing her, or tightly embracing her, unable to let go. There were even thoughts of quickly arranging a wedding and consummating the marriage.

He never expected that the first thing she’d do when she woke up was to throw him such a soul-searching question.

He wasn’t unable to answer.

But given the current aura of his young wife, if he answered with even one careless word, she might sentence him to life imprisonment.

He swallowed and softly said, “Young wife, I can explain everything. But for now, shall we go home for dinner first?”

He let go and took off his suit jacket, draping it over Qin Xin: “You’re dressed too lightly, you’ll catch cold.”

The world of supernatural powers was in summer, but it was already winter here in the Imperial City, and Qin Xin’s black hoodie was too thin.

Just as he draped it over her, Lu Bing panted as he caught up from behind: “Young Master…Madam, the academy tournament just finished awarding medals. The principal initially wanted the two of you to present the awards, but I said this small competition isn’t enough, we should wait for the national tournament. Madam, dinner at home is ready, Xiangxiang asked if you wanted anything else, she’ll make it for you…”

Nalan Ye Jue glanced at his subordinate.

If he remembered correctly, Lu Bing was the least friendly towards Qin Xin among the seven secretaries.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been demoted to Africa to endure hardship.

This time, he was brought back to handle other group matters so that Lu Yi and others could focus on protecting Qin Xin.

Why did this kid suddenly start caring about Qin Xin’s meals and daily life?

Moreover, that loud “Madam” was exceptionally pronounced?

Actually, it wasn’t just the address; Lu Bing was respectful and looked up to Qin Xin with admiration in his eyes and expressions—something that couldn’t be faked.

He looked at Qin Xin as if she were an idol.

No longer was there even a hint of thinking Qin Xin was an outsider, a schemer, or deliberately stealing Lan Qingxin’s position as Family Head’s wife?

Nalan Ye Jue withdrew his gaze.

He felt very pleased with the changes in this kid Lu Bing.

He also followed along with what Lu Bing said to Qin Xin, “Young wife, let’s go home for dinner, hmm? Xiangxiang and the others have been looking forward to this for a long time.”

Ah, there was a time he had to resort to bringing up Xiangxiang to persuade his young wife to go home for a meal?

But indeed, this tactic worked very well on Qin Xin.

Before Qin Xin left, Ao Xinghao and Xiangxiang’s bodies hadn’t fully recovered, and she was always concerned.

Later she met Ao Xinghao, and earlier she saw Hu Yi and Huo Zhen’s condition, but Xiangxiang was the only one she hadn’t met, and she indeed missed this girl.

After coaxing Qin Xin into the car to go home, Nalan Ye Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the heaviness in his heart didn’t lighten even a bit.

How exactly was he supposed to answer his young wife’s question to thoroughly eliminate the invisible barrier between them?

He was Lan Qingxin’s brother, having raised her from childhood, which was undeniable, but he was more so her man, a role no one could replace.

“Young Miss!”

Xiangxiang waited at the door of the old residence.

As soon as she saw Qin Xin getting out of the car, she couldn’t help but rush forward, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.

Other servants stood properly to welcome Qin Xin.

Upon hearing Xiangxiang’s words “Young Miss”, no one dared to say anything.

Everyone knew Xiangxiang had fallen ill, her mind wasn’t quite right, mistaking the new wife for Lan Qingxin, fearing trouble was coming.
