Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 144

[Chapter 144 Lingyin and Qin Wan]

When Lin Xiu got up the next day, Qin Wan had already left.

But there were two boiled eggs in the pot, as well as steamed buns heated with warm water. The buns tasted good, comparable to those in the Qiao Guafu shop. Lin Xiu did not expect that she

could steam buns so deliciously. It is not uncommon for ordinary women to be able to cook.

But it is a bit unusual for the daughter of a powerful person to have such good cooking skills.

She has the potential to be a good wife and mother, but unfortunately she has a big mouth, and the words that come out of her mouth often break Lin Xiu’s defense.

So Lin Xiu has no idea about her for the time being.

This woman’s level is too high, and she knows too much about things between men and women. She can often see through Lin Xiu’s mind at a glance. A woman who is too smart is not suitable for love, which will make him have no experience.

And her mouth is too poisonous.

Ning’er and Caiyi can still arouse his desire to love.

However, the breakthrough of Old Duke Xue to the Heavenly Stage has extraordinary significance for both Daxia and the Xue family. In the past few days, the threshold of the Xue family has been almost broken by visitors. Some people failed to visit Old Duke Xue, so they used the young lady of the family to give Xue Ning’er many gifts, causing her to meet many people every day and even have no time to find Lin Xiu.

Therefore, Lin Xiu only has Lihuayuan to go after practicing. Lin Xiu

was about to go out and be affectionate with Caiyi, when there was a knock on the door outside. On

weekdays, few people knocked on the door of his house. Lin Xiu walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Zhao Lingyin standing at the door. He almost thought he was seeing things.

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment before she reacted and asked, “How did you know I was here?”

Zhao Lingyin walked into the yard and said, “You live in such a big place by yourself, don’t you feel lonely? Aren’t you afraid to sleep alone at night?”

Lin Xiu said, “As long as you don’t do anything wrong and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what is there to be afraid of?”

Zhao Lingyin said, “Even if you are not afraid, it is not safe. This place is too far from the palace, and the patrol force at night is not enough. You have forgotten that you were assassinated. Anyway, there are many empty rooms here. I will move in and live with you. While helping you practice, I can also protect you.”

Lin Xiu looked at her righteous expression. If he didn’t know her better than she knew herself, he almost believed it.

Lingyin might also want to protect him a little, but her main purpose was to monitor him.

How could Lin Xiu let her succeed?

He coughed lightly and said, “No.”

Zhao Lingyin asked, “Why not?” Lin Xiu

looked at her and explained, “You are my sister-in-law. Do you know what sister-in-law means? I don’t live with your sister, but with you. In the end, am I marrying you or her? If others see it, I don’t know how to gossip. Besides, how are you going to get married in the future?”

Zhao Lingyin said indifferently, “A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. I am not worried. What are you worried about?” Lin Xiu

simply told her clearly, “I know your purpose. Don’t you just want to watch me and keep me from getting involved in affairs? Don’t forget, you said that you don’t care about your sister and me. Even if I bring other women here, you can’t control it.”

Zhao Lingyin said, “I can’t control it. You bring yours and just treat me as if I don’t exist. I am only responsible for protecting your safety and not other things.” After

she said that, Lin Xiu really didn’t know what else to say.

She was obviously here to be a light bulb. With her here, no matter what Lin Xiu did, shouldn’t he be more restrained?

This was her purpose.

Zhao Lingyin walked to the door of a wing room and said, “I’ll live here.”

Lin Xiu said, “There’s someone there.”

Zhao Lingyin raised her eyebrows and asked, “Who?”

Lin Xiu said, “You’ll see if you have a chance.”

The room she chose was, unfortunately, A Ke’s room, which Lin Xiu had reserved for her.

Zhao Lingyin frowned and pointed to another room, asking, “Then I want this one.”

Lin Xiu said helplessly, “There’s someone there, too.”

This one was Qin Wan’s room.

Zhao Lingyin said coldly, “Just tell me which room I can choose.”

Lin Xiu said honestly, “Except for those two, you can choose any.”

Zhao Lingyin finally chose a wing room opposite and immediately moved her things in. Although Lin Xiu didn’t seem happy on the surface, she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.

A Ke left and didn’t know when she would come back.

Qin Wan would only think of him when she was homeless. Most of the time, the only one who could accompany Lin Xiu here was Da Huang.

Lingyin seemed to be planning to live here permanently.

Compared with the past, except that she could not cuddle and hug Ning’er here, there was not much difference. She could also have an extra long-term roommate to relieve the loneliness and solitude at night. Why not?

After helping her make the bed and tidying up the room, Zhao Lingyin asked, “Is there anything to eat here?” Lin Xiu said,

“There are a few buns in the kitchen. I’ll get them for you.”

After a moment, Zhao Lingyin took a bite of the bun and said in surprise, “This bun is quite delicious. Did you make it?”

Lin Xiu said, “How can I have such ability? At the earliest, you can see her tonight.”

Zhao Lingyin snorted. Lin Xiu really had a beautiful woman hidden in this golden house, and it was another woman besides Xue Ning’er.

She knew Xue Ning’er. Xue Ning’er, like her, could not make such delicious buns.

But she just snorted.

A woman who makes such delicious buns must not cook bad meals.

Neither she nor her sister knew how to cook, and her sister didn’t even fulfill the most basic responsibility as a wife. Moreover, they had already talked about it. Even if Lin Xiu really found a woman who was good at cooking, considerate, and could fulfill her wife’s duties, it had nothing to do with them.

Lin Xiu was eating Qin Wan’s buns, looking at Lingyin sitting on Xue Ning’er’s swing, and suddenly said with emotion: “You said, if you were born two years earlier, would I marry you?”

Zhao Lingyin looked at him meaningfully and said, “If you married me, at least one of your legs would be broken now…”

Lin Xiu suddenly felt that it didn’t seem to be a bad thing that Lingyin was a sister.

After that, the two of them set out from home together and went to the Yishuyuan to practice with Princess Minghe.

In the afternoon, Lingyin went to the martial arts academy with him to practice martial arts. Both of them used guns as weapons. When she taught Lin Xiu, she was also watching.

So at night, they went home together again.

She and Lin Xiu were inseparable all day.

This made Lin Xiu even have no time to go to Lihuayuan to find Caiyi for warmth.

But he still had to practice other strange arts.

So, taking advantage of Lingyin’s unpreparedness, he hid his body, secretly flew out of the mansion, and went to practice outside the city as usual.

When he finished practicing and came back, it was already night.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, Lin Xiu noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.

Two figures stood in the yard, three meters apart, but still made Lin Xiu feel a solemn atmosphere.

Zhao Lingyin looked at Qin Wan and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Qin Wan asked calmly, “Why are you here?”

Zhao Lingyin said, “This is my brother-in-law’s house. Is it strange that I am here?”

Qin Wan said lightly, “You also know that he is your brother-in-law. Brother-in-law and sister-in-law live in the same house. Isn’t it strange? He married your sister, not you.”

Zhao Lingyin was speechless and said angrily, “You…”

Lin Xiu had personally experienced how powerful Qin Wan’s mouth was.

He couldn’t even beat Qin Wan. Lingyin wanted to take advantage of her by arguing with her, which was simply a fool’s dream.

After Qin Wan won, she did not push him, but walked back to her room calmly and closed the door.

Zhao Lingyin looked back at Lin Xiu and asked, “What have you been doing for so long?”

Lin Xiu said, “I was bored at home, so I went out for a walk.”

Zhao Lingyin did not ask about this, but asked, “Why is she here?”

Lin Xiu knew that the four beauties in the Yishu Academy did not have a good relationship, and Qin Wan and Lingyin were tit-for-tat when they met, which was also within his expectations.

He walked into the yard and said, “This is a long story.”

Zhao Lingyin said unhappily, “Let’s make it short.” Lin Xiu

organized his words and said, “This is what happened. It was a cold night, the north wind was bleak, and the cold was biting. I came back from outside and saw a woman in thin clothes sitting on the steps at the door, shivering with cold. If I didn’t care about her, she would probably freeze to death outside, so I kindly took her in and let her stay here for one night. You know, I have no other advantages, but I am kind…”
