Chapter 70

"I met her during the summer break, so it's been a while now."

"Don't worry, I won't be fooled. If anyone gets fooled, it'll be me fooling him."

Sometimes she felt that if she wanted to, she could probably trick Qin Yuchuan and become rich.

After all, the bowls and various objects from his family could be considered antiques. If she sold them, she might never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Qu Jingqiu gossiped, "Is it a guy or a girl?"

Shen Hanyue said, "If I had to guess, it's a guy. If it were a girl, what would be worth talking about?"

"Be careful of online security and beware of internet scams," Lou Xi remarked with her usual rationality.

Feng Qingyi said, "I know what you're talking about, and I'll be careful."

After chatting with her friends, Feng Qingyi felt a little relieved, thinking maybe he just had something to take care of.

He was so capable, with guards following him, and his profession was even that of a great general. He shouldn't be that weak.

She was probably just overthinking it. She should just do what she needs to do and wait for his message.

At the General's Mansion, Qin Yuchuan was pacing in the courtyard, occasionally taking out his phone to check it, but it was still updating.

He didn't know when he would be able to contact her again.

What's so great about this phone that it needs updating? Could it really update into something fancy?

He also didn't know what the young lady was doing now. At this time, she should be having her lunch.

Hidden in the shadows, Yan Yang poked Yan Chi, "Yan Chi, what do you think is going on with the General?"

"Logically speaking, since we've found the whereabouts of those people in the southern frontier, shouldn't the General be happy?"

"But why does he seem to be in a bad mood?"

Yan Chi looked at the phone in Qin Yuchuan's hand, "Maybe it has something to do with Miss Qingyi."

"You don't think the General had a fight with Miss Qingyi, do you?" Yan Yang said.

Yan Chi gave him a look, "When have you ever seen the General argue with anyone?"

"You never know! The General keeps looking at that little box of his."

"Maybe he did something that made Miss Qingyi unhappy, so she's ignoring him now."

Yan Yang thought this was the most plausible guess since it seemed like Miss Qingyi was the only one in that little box.

Yan Chi also thought it was possible, "So what do you think we should do to help the General?"

Yan Yang pondered for a moment, "I was thinking, why don't we go to town and buy some storybooks for the General?"

Just then, Bai Wei spotted the sneaky Yan Yang and patted him from behind.

"Yan Yang, what are you doing here?"

Yan Yang stood up, "Nothing... nothing."

Bai Wei noticed the little booklet that Yan Yang was trying to hide in his embrace.

"What's that? Is it a new storybook? Let me see!"

Yan Yang hesitated, "It's not a storybook. You'd better not look. If you want to read, I'll buy you one another day."

Seeing Yan Yang guarding it tightly, Bai Wei guessed it must be something good, so she snatched it from his embrace.

Yan Yang could have protected it, but he was worried about hurting Bai Wei, so he didn't use much force.

"Bai Wei, don't look at it, it's..."

Before Yan Yang could finish, Bai Wei had already opened it.

After just a glance, Bai Wei's face instantly turned red, and she quickly threw the booklet back at Yan Yang.

"You pervert!"

As Bai Wei backed away, Yan Yang loudly explained, "Bai Wei, Yan Chi bought this, it has nothing to do with me."

"I don't believe you, I don't believe you." Bai Wei covered her ears and ran off.

She had misjudged him. How could he look at such illustrations in broad daylight?

Yan Yang picked up the booklet and angrily burned it, blaming Yan Chi for making Bai Wei think he was a scoundrel.

He really couldn't explain the situation, but he would go and clear it up with her another day.

Qin Yuchuan was unaware of what was happening outside.

Looking at the stack of cheap booklets left by Yan Yang and Yan Chi on his desk, Qin Yuchuan flipped through a few of them.

What were these? Poor scholars and rich ladies in secret affairs, fallen scholars and fox spirits in a love-hate entanglement...

Qin Yuchuan was truly enlightened. This was his first time seeing these folk storybooks, and he never expected such things to thrive in Shengjing.

What were Yan Chi and Yan Yang trying to accomplish by giving him these? Did they want him to imitate them?

Qin Yuchuan placed those books with disdain at the farthest corner of the bookshelf.

Compared to those longwinded romantic novels, he felt that perhaps the books she had given him were more suitable.

Although there was much content in those books that he did not understand, they were still more credible than these romantic novels.

He did not know how many days it would take for this phone to update, but a single day without seeing her felt like three long months to him.
