“What do you want to get?” Qingcang asked, frowning slightly. “Why don’t you let the driver go and get it for you? For now, don’t leave this place.”

“It’s fine. He won’t fight against me for the time being.” Yan Xin waved his concern off. She left out the fact that the aura the man had left on their bodies had frozen her, so it was impossible for her to track their whereabouts now. Of course, unless she had someone follow them, which was much more likely to happen.

Qing nodded at her words. “Alright, I have to make some arrangements too.” He knew that every last second was extremely precious right now; that mysterious person was most certainly investigating him as well, after all.

Yan Xin expressionlessly rode in a car back home. Throughout the journey, she didn’t interact with the driver at all.

She hadn’t expected to see…him, though.

When Yan Xin entered the Yan residence, she saw two rows of bodyguards in black suits standing by the door. She did not think that the Yan residence could afford to hire these people.

Eyebrows raised, Yan Xin asked the driver to drop her off by the side. Then, she asked the driver to turn off the engine and wait there while she went inside the house by herself.

“Miss Yan, please take care.” This driver had been specially instructed by Qingcang to protect Yan Xin and obey all of her instructions. Therefore, he could only remind her to call him immediately if anything came up.

Yan Xin nodded in response. “I’ll be fine. It’s very difficult for ordinary people to hurt me,” she said, confident. Her confidence in herself managed to put the driver somewhat at ease.

“Don’t worry. As long as you don’t let them find you, you’ll already be helping me immensely.” After saying that, Yan Xin looked at the driver cautiously. “Remember that.”

“Yes, Miss Yan,” the driver said. While Yan Xin could be assured of this driver’s words, there was a reason why she was worried; the driver’s boss was a very disobedient person, after all.

“Mingyu, did you come here for me?” Yan Zhen had a fawning smile on her face. She had long known that if she wanted to live a good life, she had to win the hearts of these young masters. Therefore, she felt that with her face, Xie Mingyu was the only one worthy of her.

“Is the third Mistress Yan here?” Mingyu asked politely, even moving away slightly. The Second Mistress was way too enthusiastic for him—he couldn’t stand her.

However, he had a gentle personality, so even if he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t outwardly show it. It was because of this that Yan Zhen was under the impression that since he didn’t hate her, he must’ve liked her. And so, whenever he showed up, she would always appear shortly after.

Now, as if God had heard her prayers, Mingyu had appeared directly in front of her—and at her own home, at that!

But when she heard his words, she screamed, “What?!” This roar immediately destroyed the gentle facade she’d been putting on. “You came here for that b*tch—” She caught herself in time and slapped a hand over her mouth. “Ah, I mean, you came here for my sister?”

It seemed that as long as Yan Xin was mentioned…she always would feel her blood boiling.

However, in front of the person she admired, Yan Zhen decided to endure it for the time being.

“That’s right, Yan Zhen. Where is she?” Just now, the senior in his family had told him Yan Xin would return home, so he came straight to the Yan family residence instead of going around the city looking for her.

Coincidentally, however, it seemed that the Second Mistress was the only one in the Yan family residence now, and he frowned slightly. “Alright then, I’ll visit again next time.” Since Yan Xin wasn’t here, he would come back later.

“Come on, Mingyu, it’s rare for you to come to my house. Why don’t you take a seat?” Yan Zhen’s eyes sparkled as she immediately asked the nanny to brew up some tea.

“I wouldn’t want to disturb you, Yan Zhen. I’ll come again next time,” Mingyu said, smiling. If he stayed any longer, he felt that he would not be able to maintain his composure.

“Yan Xin, why are you back?” Even without looking, Yan Zhen’s concentration was broken again. She did not know why she could not hold herself back when she saw Yan Xin.

However, the moment she spoke, Mingyu also turned around. When he saw Yan Xin, who was about to go upstairs, his face finally broke into a sincere smile.

“Young Master Xie, what’s the matter?” Yan Xin felt that Mingyu’s visit here wasn’t on good terms at all, but she was unafraid.

“Mingyu is here for me. What are you doing?” Yan Zhen interjected, placing herself in between the two of them and glaring at Yan Xin smugly..
