The overwhelming aura suddenly enveloped Ji Fei, with the masculine pheromones rushing towards her, almost making her body go weak and instinctively lean backwards.
Ji Fei's eyes widened, looking at the approaching Qin Xian in disbelief, her breath catching.
Qin Xian's deep eyes softened, his voice low and filled with cool sexiness: "Ji Fei..."
"What are you doing?!" Ji Fei exclaimed, reflexively raising her hand to push him away.
Her bathrobe was already open at the collar, allowing Ji Fei's hand to rest directly on Qin Xian's still-damp chest.
Qin Xian couldn't help but feel a surge of sweetness in his heart. As expected, Ji Fei talked tough, but when it came down to it, she immediately retreated into her shell.
He didn't intend to do anything, just... just because of the drug's effects, he suddenly wanted to... kiss her... those panicked eyes, those trembling eyelashes.
[Wait, didn't I just see that the coffee actually wasn't drugged?! Then... then Qin Xian shouldn't be affected by the drug, right? What is he trying to do? Has he suddenly gone mad?]
Qin Xian: ????!!!!
Ji Fei's gaze indeed changed, surprised: "Qin Xian, you..."
Qin Xian felt like he was about to bite his tongue in his haste, "You're... sitting on my clothes."
Ji Fei: ...
Qin Xian: ...
Looking down, indeed, a corner of the newly delivered shirt was accidentally sat on by Ji Fei.
Ji Fei gave an awkward smile. Qin Xian stood up, feigning composure, waiting for Ji Fei to move before picking up the clothes.
[Phew, that scared me. I thought... ahem, what a shame. I thought I might get to take advantage of the situation.]
Qin Xian: ... Tough talk.
Ji Fei covered her rapidly beating heart, stealing glances at Qin Xian. Seeing him take the clothes back to the bathroom, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Remembering the recent gossip, she immediately shifted her attention.
[What's going on? Why wasn't there any drug in Yu Rouyin's coffee? Someone switched the drugged coffee, and now it's Madam Zong who's affected by the drug!]
[What a twist... Then who's with Madam Zong now... Oh God! Ugh~]
[Wait, this isn't incest... no, they're not blood-related... but it's still not right! How dare they!]
Even Qin Xian, who was getting dressed inside, became curious about what was being said.
[Where's Zong Chun? Alone in his room... left to his own devices?]
When Qin Xian came out, he saw Ji Fei crouching at the door, secretly peeking through a crack.
There seemed to be footsteps outside. Qin Xian stood behind Ji Fei.
Ji Fei quickly made a "shh" gesture to him.
Qin Xian glanced out and saw someone sneaking around with camera equipment, looking for a room.
They seemed to have locked onto a room, then started acting, pretending to be catching cheaters, shouting and making a commotion. Several guests on the same floor were disturbed and came out.
"Huh? Why are Mom and Dad all here?" Ji Fei was surprised and wanted to go out, but Qin Xian held her back.
"Haven't you noticed Qin Zhao isn't here? You're a celebrity now. If you're accidentally photographed, it could cause trouble."
Ji Fei immediately felt dejected.
[I could have gotten first-hand gossip. Oh heavens, oh earth, why do you treat me like this!]
Seeing Ji Fei's pitiful expression, Qin Xian's lips twitched. He turned back, took his black shirt, and draped it over Ji Fei's head, saying, "Cover your face well. I'll take you out."
"Won't that be more conspicuous?"
"It doesn't matter if it's conspicuous, as long as they don't capture your face. My photos usually can't be published anyway."
Ji Fei's eyes immediately lit up. She covered herself with the black shirt that still carried Qin Xian's scent, leaving only her eyes visible, then looked at Qin Xian with expectant eyes.
Qin Xian directly put his arm around Ji Fei's shoulders, as if completely shielding her in front of him, and walked out of the door confidently to join the commotion.
When they appeared like this, the Qin Family couldn't help but want to laugh, after all, Qin Xian would never do such playful things.
Qin Xian felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at. On the other side, behind the door, Qin Zhao looked at his second brother and sister-in-law with resentment.
At this point, even if he thought of a plan, it wouldn't work well. With one more person, it would be even more conspicuous.
The people on the same floor didn't pay attention to them, after all, there was a real-life drama of catching cheaters unfolding. Everyone couldn't help but want to get closer to watch.
Before they could gather, the paparazzi burst open the door, and instantly, sounds comparable to a small movie transmitted out.
Before Ji Fei could react, her ears were covered by someone's hands.
Looking at the other Qin Family members, they also quickly covered their ears, but their faces showed surprise and bewilderment.
Their first reaction was, did Zong Chun, who was drugged, find his wife to relieve the drug's effects?
For two middle-aged people to make such a big commotion, it was really... vigorous in their old age.
But the next second, they heard Ji Fei's inner thoughts.
[Zong Siqi is really hungry, he can eat anything?! Not only is there a twenty-year age gap, but she's his aunt!]
Qin Family: ????
Wait, what are you saying? Why do we recognize every word but don't understand?
What Zong Siqi? What aunt?
Aren't Zong Chun and his wife inside?
[No, no, strictly speaking, in their current situation, Madam Zong is drugged, she might not be willing, while Zong Siqi isn't drugged...]
Qin Family: No, no, no, we just let you and Qin Xian have a private date for a while, how did we miss so much information?
When did Madam Zong get drugged? Wasn't she the one who drugged Yu Rouyin?
The Qin Family was so anxious they wanted to scratch their ears and cheeks, wishing they could grab Ji Fei and ask for details. This gossip was too twisted, it had even twisted into a family moral issue.
Along with the noise of the door being smashed open, screams were heard from inside.
They clearly heard Madam Zong's voice and the voice of a younger man.
Then they heard the people who rushed in shouting: "Oh my God! It's not Yu Rouyin and Zong Chun, it's Madam Zong and Zong Chun's nephew!"
In an instant, Ji Fei's inner thoughts were completely verified.
The Qin Family all felt uncomfortable. Regardless of their identity, at this moment, they all wanted to shout: Holy shit!
Other curious guests might not recognize them, but hearing those titles made it feel very taboo.
Such a taboo thing, they must take a look! So many people followed the paparazzi inside.
Ji Fei really wanted to go in and take a look, but was afraid it might burn her eyes.
So she stayed at the door, then heard Zong Siqi's angry roar from inside: "Who are you people? You're invading our privacy, get out!"
[He's quite the actor, isn't this what you planned? So you've been saving all your acting skills for this?]
The Qin Family didn't go in to watch either, just staying nearby listening to Ji Fei's commentary.
Zong Siqi planned this?!!! What's he after?
[My worldview is truly shattered. He's the one who switched the coffee! When he received Madam Zong, she didn't know she was drugged. She first came to the room next door to find Zong Siqi, asking him to cancel the plan and tell the paparazzi not to come. But Zong Siqi told Madam Zong it couldn't be cancelled. Actually, he secretly told the marketing account to change the room number. That's why the paparazzi targeted this room.]
As they were listening to the cause and effect, a loud slap suddenly came from the room.
"Are you crazy? How could you..."
"...It was clearly Aun... no, Sister Yan, it was clearly you who hugged me first! I wanted to help you, I... I like you, wuwuwu..."
"Siqi, you..."
Qin Family: He's even crying!
Judging from Madam Zong's tone... she actually believed him?!
[This acting, this acting... Your uncle would kneel before you if he were here. To steal your uncle's rice bowl, to skip twenty years of hard work, your acting has reached its peak!!]
At this moment, the door next door suddenly opened, and Zong Chun, pale-faced, stumbled through the crowd and rushed in.
"What are you doing!"
