The aura around Qin Yu suddenly became cold, all the people present, including Qin Xuewei, shivered, and no one dared to say another word of complaint.

In the end, Qin Xuewei was afraid that Qin Yu would kick her out of the Qin Family, making it impossible for her to return to ancestral house.

The others also followed him out tactfully. Qin Ting saw that his Third Uncle had already kicked Qin Xuewei out of the ancestral house, and since he had helped his little brother vent his anger, he yawned and went upstairs to recuperate.

When Qin Yu appeared, Qin Man had always been observing his interaction with him in silence. Now that most of the people in the room had left, they planned to leave, but were stopped by Xing Lie the moment they turned around.

Xing Lie smiled at her, trying to curry her favor, "You have become prettier again."

Qin Man could not help but laugh, "It's already been so long, yet your greeting has not been changed."

She could be considered to have grown up together with Xing Lie and Qin Yu. Ever since they were young, no matter how long she and Xing Lie had separated, when they met, Xing Lie had always greeted her with the phrase "you have become prettier again".

Xing Lie blinked his eyes and said, "I am only stating the truth."

However, Qin Man avoided his gaze and said: "Alright, stop talking, what business do you have with me?"

"I heard that you're leaving again tomorrow, so …" Xing Lie said hesitantly, "Can we have a meal together in the afternoon? It's just the two of us, we haven't seen each other for an entire year."

After saying that, Xing Lie retracted the playful expression on his face, and his two raised eyebrows also drooped down. His eyes were serious and had a hint of sadness, making people unable to bear to refuse.

Qin Man glanced at Qin Yu, who was helping him put on the necklace, and after a moment of silence, she agreed: "Alright."

After Xing Lie heard this, his eyes suddenly shone with a strange light, and his entire body started dancing again.

He even turned his head and shouted at Qin Yu: "I'll be eating lunch with Qin Man, no matter what happens, don't disturb me today."

His tone was proud and complacent, and after he finished speaking, he feebly blocked Qin Man's back, and left without looking back.

Lin Xi looked at Xing Lie, who was being overly attentive to him, and could not help but frown and ask: "The two of them are …"

Qin Yu glanced at the two people leaving, and replied indifferently: "Xing Lie likes Qin Man, but Qin Man … He probably just treated him as a friend that he grew up with. Qin Man has been abroad for the past few years, and the two of them can only meet once during the Spring Festival. "

"But even so, Xing Lie still doesn't forget about Qin Man, right?" Lin Xi asked again.

Qin Yu nodded, sensing that something was amiss with her tone, he asked her: "What's wrong?"

Lin Xi shook her head, but she thought of Ding Xiaoyuan.

When Ding Xiaoyuan chatted with her normally, at least one of her sentences mentioned Xing Lie. She could feel that Ding Xiaoyuan had a good impression of her. She had always thought that Xing Lie had feelings for Ding Xiaoyuan as well, but there was actually a piece of white moonlight in her heart.

Could Ding Xiaoyuan even compare to his White Moonlight? Lin Xi was worried that Ding Xiaoyuan would be injured on Xing Lie's body.

Just as she was lost in thought, a hand suddenly reached over. A slender yet slightly cold finger pressed on her forehead, causing her tightly knitted brows to open up.

Lin Xi regained her senses.

Qin Yu thought that she was still annoyed about the matter of the necklace being stolen, so he said: "If you don't like the atmosphere of ancestral house, then we won't be back for the Spring Festival in the future."

Lin Xi really didn't like the atmosphere in the ancestral house. From last night to this morning, in just a short period of time, she had already encountered a lot of things. No wonder Qin Yu didn't approve of the madame's return for the New Year.

However, regardless of whether Lin Xi liked it or not, when Qin Yu had said "Spring Festival in the future", in his heart, was it tacit approval that they would be together for every Spring Festival in the future?

Lin Xi thought about what Qin Yu had said when he offered sacrifices to the Ancestor, and the water droplet heart diamond that had been given to him.

Why did Qin Yu want to give him such a precious and meaningful diamond? Then why did he vow before the ancestral tablets of the Qin family that he would only marry her in this life? And why had he saved her from danger time and time again?

If it was just for acting, there was no need for him to give her such a precious diamond. There was also no need for him to swear, much less take the risk to save her time and time again!

Once or twice, these things could still be considered as a coincidence or as an accident. But with so many abnormal things added together, could this not be considered as Qin Yu's liking and concern for him?

Putting aside her prejudices and, Lin Xi once again thought about those small details that happened during her and Qin Yu's interactions after she was reborn.

Qin Yu took care of her in the hospital, he kissed her on her forehead when they met a gun machine, they kissed each other's wish for a new year last night, and at every critical moment, he would come to her side immediately …

With her understanding of Qin Yu, if Qin Yu didn't really like caring about one person, he would definitely not do this, even with Old Madem Qin here.

No one could force him to do anything he didn't want to do.

Just by looking at his dignity in front of the Qin family, one could tell that he was Master Qin San. If he did not want to marry him, he would be able to arrange thousands of ways to make himself disappear without a doubt in Old Madem Qin's heart.

Lin Xi slightly raised her head and looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression.

However, if his guess was right, why wouldn't Qin Yu admit to it? Why did he want to be nice to himself while desperately pushing himself away? What exactly was the secret behind it?

Lin Xi held onto the heart of the water drop tightly.

When Qin Yu gave the necklace to him, he brought Hu Yuefei home not long ago, and he had just confessed to that she was Lin Xi. But he told himself that he did not believe him, and when he turned his head, it was on the first day of the new year, that he gave the necklace to her.

The drop of water's heart implied, "I have already been conquered by you, I am willing to give you my all." Was this necklace a hint from Qin Yu …

It was impossible for Qin Yu to not know the meaning behind that necklace, but he did not give "beloved" Hu Yuefei the necklace, nor did he give Hu Yuefei a gift that was more precious and meaningful than the Waterdrop's Heart.

If Qin Yu gifted some precious gift to his, then with Hu Yuefei's personality that completely suppressed his, the two would definitely live under the same roof for a long time, and she would definitely show it off to him.

Lin Xi's mind seemed to have raging waves, but there had never been a moment that was so clear and bright.

She still had many things she did not understand, but she urgently wanted to verify with Qin Yu — was he already beginning to believe that she was Lin Xi? His previous rejection was just for a reason. Actually, compared to Hu Yuefei, the one he liked the most was himself?

Lin Xi suddenly stepped forward and tightly held Qin Yu's hand. She was so excited that she wanted to say something, but Qin Yu's phone suddenly rang.

Qin Yu naturally held Lin Xi's hand, and even gently rubbed his thumb against her palm, as though they were an ordinary couple getting intimate with each other. Then he picked up the phone with his other hand.

The phone call was from Yao Jing. Although it was the Spring Festival, the Qin’s business was chaotic, and not everyone in the main company was on vacation. Yao Jing, on the other hand, was responsible for the management of the main company's affairs during the Spring Festival.

Yao Jing spoke on the other side of the phone: "Mr. Qin, the two offices on the first floor of the company have suffered a violent attack from an unknown person, I have already reported it to the police. From the outside, they should not be able to enter the two offices, but to be safe, you should come to the company to check."

The office on the first floor of the building that Yao Jing mentioned was the last two small rooms that Yao Jing visited when he first went to the company.

They were two safe houses, both set on the negative first floor. One of them had the financial statements of each year of Qin’s, and the other had the newest top-notch research and development products of Qin’s. The contents of the two rooms were related to the life vein of the Qin’s, so the security of the two offices were extremely tight. Other than Qin Yu, no one else had the authority to open the rooms.

After Qin Yu finished listening to Yao Jing's report, his face suddenly darkened, and said: "Cooperate with the police for now, I'll be there right now."

Then, he turned to Lin Xi and said, "I'm sorry, something happened at the company and I need to rush back. I can't accompany you to have lunch at noon, so I'll get someone to send you back …"

Speaking to that, Qin Yu suddenly paused, and said, "Let's return to our villa in the east region, I won't be at ease even if you stay alone in ancestral house."

Lin Xi saw the caller ID just now, so she knew that it was Yao Jing. Although she did not hear what was said on the phone, but for Yao Jing to be forced to disturb Qin Yu on the first day of the new year, it must not be a small matter.

Lin Xi could only suppress the questions she wanted to ask for now, and nodded her head: "Then you have to be careful."

"I will." Qin Yu called Qin Ting over again, gave him a few simple instructions about some ancestral house, and then left in a hurry.

Only until a second before he left, Qin Yu finally loosened his grip on Lin Xi's hand. Lin Xi suddenly felt a chill on her hand.

No matter if it was winter or summer, Qin Yu's fingers had always been slightly cool, not cold, nor fiery hot. They were exactly the same as his, but even if he wasn't hot enough, he could still warm and press on her fingers in winter.

Lin Xi looked at her hand, and suddenly laughed soundlessly.

Afterwards, she followed the bodyguard back to the villa in the east district.

When Lin Xi went back home, she could faintly hear a burst of moans coming from inside the villa.

The voice was weak and painful, as if it had come from the second floor.

Lin Xi immediately became alert, all the nannies in the villa were on leave, there should not be anyone else in the villa.

Just in case, Lin Xi called a bodyguard over to accompany him to search for the source of the voice.

When she was sure that the voice was coming from Hu Yuefei's bedroom, the bodyguard kicked open the door. After a loud bang, Lin Xi realized that Hu Yuefei had returned.
