Chapter 1182: Mr. Nalan Is Waiting for Her

Jun Ruyu secretly gathered her strength, and an invisible dark glow slid from her fingertips over the flute she held.

The flute trembled slightly, and then, visible to the naked eye, the surrounding air rippled.

A surge of dark energy rushed towards Qin Xin.

Hu Yi was opening the car door for Qin Xin, shielding her as she got in, when he suddenly felt a shiver down his spine, as if a strange chill penetrated his bones, making even his brain feel cold.

Just as he was about to speak, his throat seemed to freeze over.

He couldn’t make a sound, just a raspy whisper.

Qin Xin abruptly turned around, shoved Hu Yi into the car, and sharply glanced towards the entrance of the concert hall, where she saw the unconcerned Jun Ruyu holding a flute.

That burst of energy was repelled by the spiritual energy protecting her body just an inch before reaching her.

Little Jiang Snake peeked out from her shoulder, “Whoa, such a cold energy flow. What kind of psychic ability does this person have? So sinister!”

Little Dongju chimed in, “Could it be ice-based? Ice abilities can turn water into ice and kill without a trace. This little girl is so treacherous, let me ‘neng’ her to death, how dare she ambush us!”

Qin Xin calmly stopped them, “No need for now.”

She stepped into the car, leaving the two adorable pets a bit puzzled.

Wow, there’s actually a psychic here, doesn’t the master find it strange?

This psychic looks exactly like Ding Yu, isn’t the master going to investigate?

With their minds full of questions, the two pets got into the car with her.

Hu Yi was still clueless about what had happened, thinking only that he was underdressed and a bit cold; having been frozen stiff, he now warmed up under the car’s air conditioning and eagerly asked, “Sister Xin, your car is so advanced! I’ve never seen this model before, are you giving me a chance to try it out? Wherever you want to go, I’ll be the best driver you could ask for!”

Qin Xin replied nonchalantly, “No. I’ll drop you off first.”

The car from the Nalan Family was just one she had casually grabbed, not knowing what model it was.

Still, it was just average; compared to the racing cars she was used to, it wasn’t all that advanced.

Imperial Middle School.

Nalan Ye Jue picked up Qin Xiaoshuang.

Over the year they hadn’t seen each other, Xiao Shuang had grown quite a bit taller. As he walked out of the school gate, a petite girl classmate followed closely behind him, obediently staying at his side.

Seeing Nalan Ye Jue after such a long time, Xiao Shuang excitedly shouted “Brother-in-law!” He then whispered something to the girl before they parted ways.

Nalan Ye Jue gave the two young ‘lovers’ a meaningful look, “Xiao Shuang, you can bring your little girlfriend to lunch with your sister this afternoon.”

Xiao Shuang blushed, “There’s no little girlfriend, that’s just my deskmate. The school doesn’t allow early romances.”

Nalan Ye Jue smirked, “If it’s a relationship that helps each other improve and aids in learning without going too far, it’s not entirely out of the question.”

Qin Xiaoshuang shyly said, “Brother-in-law, right now I just want to study hard and get into college. Other things… I’m not considering at the moment.”

Nalan Ye Jue gave a deep look at his young brother-in-law.

He was a bit worried that in the future, Xiao Shuang might miss out on good relationships because he doesn’t dare to express his feelings.

“Alright, get in the car.” He opened the car door.

Qin Xiaoshuang looked at his legs in surprise, wanting to ask but not daring to.

Yet it was Nalan Ye Jue who explained, “Your sister healed them. Today we’re treating her to a big meal to show our gratitude.”

Xiao Shuang nodded vigorously, “Yeah, Brother-in-law! Where have you two been this past year? Every time I went to see you, Secretary Lu said you were on your honeymoon, but I was so worried.”

Nalan Ye Jue slightly curved his lips.

Honeymoon?

It was a rather special honeymoon.

He hummed in response and casually asked Qin Xiaoshuang, “Do you want a little nephew or niece?”
