"This woman has a murder case against her. She's quite bold to sneak back," Qin Si Ye's pupils constricted.
"Tomorrow, I'll send people to arrest her and interrogate her thoroughly."
"No. Si Ye, this is just my personal guess." Yin Xi pulled his arm, stopping him.
"What if she's not? And Meng Qi is backing her up. If she then sues you for kidnapping, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
"I'm not afraid. With my status in K City, no one has dared to sue me so far," Qin Si Ye replied dismissively.
Yin Xi said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. It would be very bad for your reputation.
Besides, even if she is Lu Yu Shan, with her personality, she won't admit it.
And there are still many mysteries between her and me that haven't been solved. I want her to explain them one by one."
"What do you want to do?" Qin Si Ye looked at her intently.
Yin Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Play hard to get, and let her reveal herself."
"How do we play hard to get?" Qin Si Ye continued to press.
Yin Xi then recounted what she had told A Zhen that afternoon.
"I can now basically conclude that those photos were sent to me in collusion by her and Meng Qi, which is why she surfaced so quickly, asking people about my relationship with you.
Then we'll play along, let them think those photos had an effect, and that our relationship has indeed been greatly affected.
I think they'll be very happy when they hear about it and will make their next move with full confidence.
Therefore, from now on, you and I must maintain a considerable distance in public, so they can't see through us."
Qin Si Ye clasped her hand tightly and said, "You mean, we can't go on dates anymore?"
"Yes." Yin Xi paused and replied, "If someone sees us and takes pictures to send to them, our plan will be ruined."
"But... we've just started dating. If we don't go on dates, how can we have a relationship?" Qin Si Ye felt a bit dizzy, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.
He was still savoring the wonderful night before.
He had even promised the children that such things would happen more often from now on.
And now, to be interrupted by one of the involved parties, he felt quite displeased.
Yin Xi looked at his slightly angry expression and found him suddenly adorable. She couldn't help but raise her hand to caress his handsome face, coaxing him,
"We can have a relationship at home, we don't have to go out."
The next second, the man pulled her into his arms, kissed her tenderly and passionately for a moment, then slowly let her go and said,
"If you want me to cooperate, you have to promise me one condition."
Yin Xi, panting, asked, "What is it?"
"You must agree to let me live with you." Qin Si Ye's gaze was fixed on her.
"Ah?" Yin Xi hadn't expected him to make such a request.
Taking her small hand, Qin Si Ye earnestly explained that his request was not unreasonable.
"Look, we're not home during the day when we're at work, so we have no chance to spend time together.
When we come back at night, you still have to take care of the children, and we live in separate rooms, so where do we find time to date?"
Yin Xi thought about his words, and they seemed reasonable. "Alright, I agree. But you have to promise not to make any advances."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye's eyes lit up with excitement. He immediately raised three fingers and swore to the heavens with utmost sincerity.
"I promise that when I sleep with you, I will not make any advances. If I do anything, it will only be with my mouth."
"You..." Yin Xi stared at him, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
The man who always appeared upright actually had such a thick skin in private.
Qin Si Ye looked at her with a wronged expression, "Can't even move my mouth?"
"Hmph." Yin Xi glanced at him, then suddenly stood up.
Qin Si Ye thought she was angry, and his heart tightened. He instinctively reached out and grabbed her arm, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to get you pajamas," Yin Xi replied.
Qin Si Ye then let go, watching her retreating figure with a smile of excitement and satisfaction.
Inside the South City branch of the K City Police Station, Qian Feng sat askew in a chair with disdain, glaring at the two police officers questioning him.
"I've told you several times, I know nothing about those drugs. Let me go quickly."
One of the tall, thin police officers looked at him sternly, "Qian Feng, we didn't summon you here without reason.
Based on the components analyzed from the residual poison in the Jin family's maid, your pharmaceutical factory also produces this drug."
