Translator: 549690339

In the dead of night.

Luo Xiaolang just stared at Yin Qin.

She didn’t know why he had suddenly appeared at her front door at this late hour.

Her eyes were fixed on him.

Yin Qin walked into her house without any hesitation, made himself at home, and just plonked himself down on Luo Xiaolang’s sofa.

Luo Xiaolang seemed to be accustomed to Yin Qin’s sudden eccentricities, and at that moment, she showed no reaction, appearing quite easygoing.

Yin Qin said, “Didn’t a journalist photograph you this evening?”

Luo Xiaolang nodded.

Yin Qin continued, “Now we need to preemptively set the record straight. Although this may still cause you trouble later on, at least I’m doing my best to prevent you from being slandered.”

Luo Xiaolang didn’t understand what Yin Qin was talking about.

In truth, she didn’t care at all.

She wouldn’t be around much longer, so what was there to care about?

Without saying much else, Yin Qin took out his phone and said to Xiaolang, “Come on, let’s make a video.”

Luo Xiaolang went and sat down.

Yin Qin adjusted the angle of the video so it sat on the coffee table, capturing both of them in the frame.

Once everything was ready, Yin Qin addressed the video, “Everyone’s curious about who the handsome young man in the suit is, right? Everyone wants to see what she truly looks like. Yes, originally I didn’t want to expose her under the lens, perhaps out of my selfishness to not burden her. Now, after much deliberation, I’ve decided to introduce her to you all. I’m sure you’ve all seen by now, yes, she’s not a boy, she’s undoubtedly a girl, she’s not just anyone, she’s my girlfriend Luo Xiaolang.”

When he spoke the last sentence, Luo Xiaolang turned her head to look at Yin Qin.

Girlfriend?

Is this the kind of girlfriend Song Zhizhi was talking about?

And the reason why Yin Qin said Luo Xiaolang was his girlfriend was because he had been using her as a cover for scandalous rumors recently. Now that Luo Xiaolang has once again been thrust under the media spotlight, she naturally needed to keep up this pretense. On the other hand, it also provided a reasonable explanation for why he had been protecting Luo Xiaolang.

He continued, “Xiaolang has an extraordinary talent in the gaming world and I simply wanted to share her impressive skills with you all. But because there are always some people trying to expose her appearance, I’ve chosen to fully disclose it to you all instead of letting speculation run rife. And to clear things up, the reason Xiaolang plays games in a suit is not to deceive anyone, but because of my own selfishness. I didn’t want other men to gaze at her. Maybe you all think that she’s very ordinary, but in my eyes, she is unmatched.”

Luo Xiaolang watched Yin Qin intently all this while.

Her gaze focused firmly on him, taking in his rarely seen serious demeanor.

Suddenly, Yin Qin pulled her hand and held it tightly, “Finally, due to personal reasons, Xiaolang will pause her live streaming for some time. The specific duration will be clarified later. Thank you for your previous recognition and support for Xiaolang, we appreciate it.”

After he finished, Yin Qin stood up to turn off the video.

Once it was shut off, he immediately let go of Luo Xiaolang’s hand.

Luo Xiaolang seemed a bit dazed at that moment.

Meanwhile, Yin Qin was admiring his own video.

Why did he have to look so handsome on camera?!

He watched it again in satisfaction, thinking there was nothing worth criticizing, so he uploaded it to his own Weibo account.

He had a substantial number of followers on Weibo, and they had increased quite a bit recently. Most of them were there because of Luo Xiaolang, and many people were asking about her in the comments of his posts. Now that he had released it, he didn’t even need to think to know it would cause quite a stir.

After taking care of everything, Yin Qin didn’t bother sticking around to check the comments on his Weibo. He clicked off his phone and prepared to leave.

As he was preparing to leave, he noticed that Luo Xiaolang, who had been awfully quiet from beginning to end.

Although Luo Xiaolang was usually quite relaxed, she never allowed him to do as he pleased.

As he was preparing to leave, he sat back down, “Xiaolang, is something bothering you?”

That seemed to bring Luo Xiaolang back to reality.

She didn’t say anything.

Yin Qin said, “If you have any troubles, you can tell your brother, and I can help you sort them out.”

Luo Xiaolang shook her head.

She’d rather die than tell him about her own impending death.

Seeing her resolute expression, Yin Qin knew he couldn’t force Luo Xiaolang.

He changed the topic, “When are you planning to return to Wulin Temple?”

Luo Xiaolang was stunned.

She didn’t know.

Maybe in the next couple of days.

She had to let Song Zhizhi know in advance.

Yin Qin said, “You’ve seen my live stream. I’ve already asked for leave. You can go back whenever you want and return whenever you want.”

Luo Xiaolang just watched him.

The phrase “I might not come back” that was about to leave her lips, got swallowed back down.

Yin Qin gave a small smile, reaching over to ruffle Luo Xiaolang’s short hair. It was an affectionate gesture. “Well, I’ll be on my way. Get to bed early. Remember, if anything bothers you, always talk to me about it. Your big bro here’s the best at sharing burdens.”

Luo Xiaolang just watched Yin Qin leave.

She felt that Yin Qin was very good to her.

Although he was annoying, he really was good to her.

She had never thought that one day, Yin Qin would become… so strange.

The next day.

The exposure of Brother Suit’s identity became the hot topic of the news all over the country.

The fact that Luo Xiaolang is Brother Suit had everyone’s jaws dropping, even a lot of people find it hard to believe.

What was even more unbelievable was that Brother Suit’s stream was going to be put on hold, and the resumption date was yet to be decided.

From the initial surprise at Luo Xiaolang’s revelation to the eventual reluctance, the news went through several twists and turns.

Yin Qin looked at the news he had caused, feeling quite pleased with his own dashing appearance.

He scrolled through the comment section, glancing through the feedback.

The comments of course, were mixed, with some negative ones as well, but he had long since become immune to those.

However, there was one comment that caught his eye.

The comment read, “I suddenly feel that our Brother Suit truly loves Yin Qin.”

Following that comment, there were many replies.

“Yeah, you can see that Brother Suit always looked at Yin Qin’s face without even blinking.”

“The look in Brother Suit’s eyes was full of love.”

“Yin Qin, you should also look back at Brother Suit once in a while. Seriously, it’s becoming frustrating…”

It seemed that Yin Qin had only just noticed this detail.

Ever since he announced that they were in a relationship, Luo Xiaolang hadn’t looked at the screen at all, she just kept looking at him.

It couldn’t be that she really liked him, could it?!

He had always treated her as a buddy, and as far as Luo Xiaolang was concerned, he never had any… desires.

He played the video again.

He spent some time pondering it.

His conclusion, in the end, Luo Xiaolang couldn’t possibly like him.

Luo Xiaolang was still a kid. She would have no idea what liking someone really means.

He set down his phone and left his office.

He was going to his father’s office.

No matter what, the strategy from yesterday was suggested by his father, and it seemed to be quite effective right now. At the very least, no one was slandering Luo Xiaolang. He was very clear that if someone else had revealed Luo Xiaolang’s identity, without a doubt, Luo Xiaolang would have been misrepresented in the worst ways possible.

He pushed open his father’s office door without knocking.

Inside the office, his father shot him a lethal glance.

Yin Qin pursed his lips.

He had just forgotten to knock on the door. Was there a need to be that fierce?!

Or was it because Lin Ximeng was sitting in the office?!

Instead of turning to leave, Yin Qin entered the room with confidence.

Upon seeing Yin Qin, the expression on Lin Ximeng’s face instantly changed.

She immediately remembered the night Yin Qin had taken Yin Bin away from under her very eyes, making her itch to strangle Yin Qin.

Yin Qin seemed oblivious to how unwelcome he was, and quite casually pulled up a chair next to Lin Ximeng. He said, “Auntie, you’re dressed so conservatively today. It’s not like your usual style. I still think you look good in black lace.”

Lin Ximeng’s face turned white at once.

Yin Bin also looked displeased. He rebuked, “Yin Qin, what nonsense are you spouting!”

“Dad, I’m not making this up.” Yin Qin explained seriously, “The night when you went to the hotel room with Auntie, I happened to see… Auntie’s figure…”

Yin Qin deliberately sized her up and down.

Lin Ximeng felt beyond embarrassed under Yin Qin’s stare.

After all, she was 20 years older than Yin Qin, and yet was being openly insulted by him at this moment.

She clenched her teeth and bore with it.

Yin Qin gave a knowing smirk, “It’s so hard to put into words!”

“Yin Qin! Out! Now!” Yin Bin’s voice was loud.

He couldn’t believe he had a son who had no filter and lacked manners.

Yin Qin didn’t want to stay here either, he got up, “I came to thank you for your advice last night.”

Yin Bin didn’t appreciate it.

Because Yin Qin was insincere.

He said, “By the way, I wanted to let you know that most of the news about me is probably Weng Cheng’s doing. Of course, since I don’t have any evidence, I can’t expose him, but I think you should guard against him and my aunt.”

Yin Bin looked even more distressed.

Yin Qin knew that his father was genuinely supportive of his aunt’s family.

He didn’t want to say any more, it would be pointless. He left.

“Dad, her figure is… far from being as good as mom’s…”

“Yin Qin!”

Yin Qin left.

He was kind enough to close the door behind him.

Yin Bin was so angry he felt he would explode.

No matter how much he disliked Lin Ximeng, she was his elder. Shouldn’t his son have had some respect for her?

Lin Ximeng was also furious.

Remembering how Yin Qin mocked her figure the previous night when he left with Yin Bin and insulted her in front of Yin Bin again, she wished she could beat him to death. But in front of Yin Bin, she had to pretend to be magnanimous and gentle.

Her feelings were all twisted inside, but she managed to keep her smile gentle, “Yin Qin is young, I don’t mind. Don’t be too angry.”

“I just don’t understand how I raised him to be like this.” Yin Bin said grudgingly.

“Actually, I think it’s quite good. Yin Qin is so outgoing, I like his personality.” Lin Ximeng smiled, “If I had such a son, I would not mind even if he makes me mad every day. Only…”

Her smile faded after that.

Yin Bin looked at her.

Through occasional interactions recently, he knew that Lin Ximeng had been single all these years and did not have a family or a child of her own.

He felt a bit guilty.

If they had been different back then…

Yin Bin sighed, steering the conversation elsewhere, “Did you come here today just to ask me to help your nephew find a job?”

“Yes. He just graduated from college and studied media. I don’t want to trouble you, but I couldn’t bear my sister’s repeated requests.” Lin Ximeng said somewhat embarrassingly, “He failed to secure a job in your company last time because he was too nervous during the interview and was rejected. It got him down, and my sister was worried he’d keep feeling this way. She knew I knew you and urged me to plead for her. She only has this one son, so…”

“No problem.” Yin Bin agreed instantly, “Tell your nephew to come to work tomorrow.”

“Really?” Lin Ximeng was a bit excited, and then she pretended to be composed, “is it going to cause trouble for you?”

“As long as your nephew works hard, it isn’t trouble but a recruitment of talent.” Yin Bin said, then picked up the office phone, “Weng Cheng.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“Tomorrow there will be an employee named…” Yin Bin paused, “What’s your nephew’s name again?”

“Yu Yizhou.” Lin Ximeng hurriedly said.

Yin Bin nodded, “Tomorrow, a new employee named Yu Yizhou will come to the company. When he arrives, leave it to you to find a position that suits his field.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

Yin Bin hung up the phone, “Tell your nephew to find Weng Cheng directly tomorrow.”

“Thank you Yin Bin, thank you very much.” Lin Ximeng was truly grateful.

She was even excited, she instinctively reached out to Yin Bin’s hand.

Yin Bin hesitated for a moment, looking at Lin Ximeng’s hand on his.

Lin Ximeng seemed oblivious.

Yin Bin withdrew his hand subtly.

Lin Ximeng noticed it, and she deliberately came closer.

Her face changed slightly, then quickly faded.

“It’s just a simple matter,” Yin Bin said.

“Maybe for you, but for me, it’s a major favor. Yin Bin, can I invite you to a meal?” Lin Ximeng took the initiative to invite him.

“I have an engagement this evening,” Yin Bin turned her down with a smile. “Maybe next time, I’ll be the one to invite you.”

Lin Ximeng returned a faint smile, apparently a bit disappointed at that moment.

Yin Bin watched her expression.

He actually no longer felt the same way about Lin Ximeng as he once did, but due to the things he had done in the past, he ultimately felt some guilt towards her.

Just as he was about to soften his stance, Qin Keqin’s face suddenly popped into his mind.

The face he used to despise.

He held back.

And said nothing more.

Seeing that Yin Bin had no more to say, Lin Ximeng understood that she couldn’t push any harder.

Yin Bin was never one to be coerced.

If it hadn’t been for that time she deliberately showed her vulnerability and implored Yin Bin to stay with her, she wouldn’t have managed to lead him astray during their marriage.

She forced a smile, “Then next time. You’re busy, I won’t bother you.”

Having said that, she stood up, ready to leave.

Yin Bin nodded, without attempting to stop her.

Lin Ximeng walked out.

Once outside, her expression changed immediately.

As expected, Yin Bin was not easily seduced, just as he had been before.

She apparently heard from Yin Ying that Yin Bin and Qin Keqin weren’t on good terms, and all these years there were no other women around Yin Bin. She thought she would easily seduce Yin Bin, but it turns out, Yin Bin’s still the principled, highly self-cultivated man with strict personal standards.

Common tactics seemed to be ineffective.

She left the Yin He Corporation and sat in her car.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She answered, “Ying Ying.”

“How did it go? What kind of attitude did my brother have towards you?” An anxious voice came from the other end.

After all this time, there was still no substantial progress between Lin Ximeng and Yin Bin!

The outcome was not what she wanted to see!

She remembered the last time when they were close to success, but were unexpectedly disrupted by Yin Qin!

“He was quite nice to me, but he’s keeping his distance,” Lin Ximeng stated directly.

Yin Ying was very clear about her intentions, and the two of them shared the same goal, so there was no need for any concealment.

“So, you’re saying you still can’t win over my brother?” Yin Ying sounded annoyed.

Lin Ximeng was equally frustrated, “Do you think Yin Bin is that easy to get? Over the years, you must have sent many women to get close to Yin Bin, were you successful?”

“I thought you were different,” Yin Ying said bluntly.

“I am different, but Yin Bin is still the same.”

“How did you manage to get into his bed back then?” Yin Ying asked sharply.

“It was just an accident.”

“So you’re planning to give up?”

“Do you think that’s possible? After all these years of humiliation, now that I’m back, I have no intention of leaving! Besides, how could I possibly let Qin Keqin take advantage of this situation for so many years!” Lin Ximeng declared vehemently.

“I love your persistent nature!” Yin Ying sneered, “I refuse to believe that we can’t beat a Qin Keqin!”

Lin Ximeng sneered coldly as well.

She should be the one holding the position of mistress in the Yin family!

She would get it back sooner or later!
