Qin Hanyue and Qiao Ying both did not know that she had a fragrance on her body. If it was the smell of hormones, it would still be possible to explain.
Qiao Ying: "Don't know."
She then raised her face and looked at him.
Qin Hanyue raised his hand and carefully tidied the hair blocking her face.
She also remained silent, just looking at him like this. Her eyes showed no emotional fluctuations. She always looked at people like this, her eyes were especially indifferent, making it impossible to guess her thoughts through her eyes.
Looking for too long would start to feel uneasy and nervous.
Qin Hanyue lowered his head to meet her gaze. He could not withstand such an invitation, and did not care whether it was a seduction or invitation. Qin Hanyue lowered his head and kissed her, their lips and teeth tangled.
She responded to him, so Qin Hanyue knew he had not misunderstood her meaning, even if her response was perfunctory, and he was the one putting in all the effort.
She seemed to be using this method to vent her inner emotions.
After a long kiss ended, she buried her face in his chest.
Qin Hanyue kissed her hair.
"I hope you will never have nightmares again in the future. If that is not possible, I hope that when you wake up from a nightmare, you will come to me first."
Rather than clearly with him right in front of her, she was still used to digesting it herself. She was not at all used to him.
Qin Hanyue could completely understand. She was an assassin. For over twenty years from childhood until now, that's how she had been. For her to accept his feelings was obviously beyond her plans.
Qin Hanyue: "I will always be by your side. You can slowly get used to me."
After hearing this, Qiao Ying twitched her mouth corners, wanting to say: No need.
She rarely had nightmares, and the probability of dreaming about Feng Ying was even lower. She was too lazy to move her mouth to respond to him, so she did not.
Qiao Ying pushed him. "Wash your face."
Qin Hanyue released her and bent down to bring her shoes over.
After Qiao Ying washed her face and came out, she went to the wine cabinet and picked a bottle of wine.
There was wine on Qin Hanyue's private plane, but no specially set up wine cabinet, because Qin Hanyue did not like drinking.
This wine cabinet was installed overnight by Qin Hanyue for her.
Qiao Ying took two glasses, poured one for him first: "Have a drink with me."
Qin Hanyue accepted it.
Then she poured herself a glass, and clinked it with his. The crisp collision of the glass sounded very nice.
Whether in a good or bad mood, she liked drinking.
Qiao Ying drank a mouthful, then sat down on the sofa, comfortably resting her legs on the table, while stroking Fourth Master's dog head.
Qin Hanyue asked her: "Have you decided to cooperate with Lin Cheng?"
Qiao Ying: "Most likely, if it's really related to the royal family."
Qin Hanyue: "To what extent?"
Qiao Ying looked at him, smiling very unscrupulously: "I already said me and Yue Ying Liu Ying is enough, you insisted on following along to feel bad."
Qiao Ying drank the wine vigorously, emptying the glass in just a few mouthfuls: "Regret it?"
She leaned back, reclining on the sofa.
Qin Hanyue rested one arm on the back of the sofa, turning his body towards her, holding his glass close to her.
"This is you going for revenge again, and going to pretend to be someone's girlfriend. Do you think I can sit still in the capital?"
Qiao Ying turned her face towards him: "Then you can stand."
Qin Hanyue: "Are there other options?"
Qiao Ying: "Squatting doesn't look good."
Qin Hanyue was amused by her teasing.
Then he said, "I only have one request. Wherever you go, you must take me along, especially dangerous places and places with Lin Cheng."
Qiao Ying: "Agreed?"
Qin Hanyue was silent for a moment, looking at her and said: "I'm naturally reluctant. Not only you pretending to be Lin Cheng's lover, even if you look at Lin Cheng a few more times, I feel uncomfortable. But your business is more important."
After taking revenge, her heart would be freed, and she would be safe.
Qiao Ying stared at him so close in front of her. Suddenly raising her head, she pecked his lips, then her head fell back down.
Qin Hanyue's mind shook. He lowered his head to kiss her.
But Qiao Ying turned her face away, and his kiss landed on her cheek.
Qiao Ying laughed, but the smile faded very quickly. She turned her head expressionlessly and asked him: "What are you doing?"
Qin Hanyue: "Smell what fragrance is on your body."
Lin Cheng's people picked them up at the airport.
It was that artistically gorgeous ancient castle again.
Lin Cheng was very surprised. Qiao Ying had rejected him half a month ago. He did not expect her to take the initiative to come to Country C again so soon.
Looking at the cool-looking, 1.7-meter tall robot Qiao Ying had brought, Lin Cheng asked: "A gift for me?"
Qiao Ying: "Of course."
Completely different from the toy-like robot at Qiao Ying's house, whether in terms of system or appearance, the one in front was a real robot.
Lin Cheng was quite surprised. He did not expect Qiao Ying to give him such a good robot, and she had delivered it personally.
Lin Cheng: "I like it very much."
Qiao Ying: "I'm glad Boss Lin likes it."
This robot was a defective product Qiao Ying had randomly taken from the warehouse of her villa out at sea in Country M.
But even a defective product was a height that industry insiders could not reach. If this robot was launched, it would easily snatch all the international awards.
Lin Cheng: "I like it. Miss Qiao went through a lot of trouble."
Although the materials were indeed valuable, they were a drop in the bucket for Qiao Ying. If she had felt it was expensive, she would not have gifted it.
Of course, Lin Cheng would not know that this cool and valuable robot was one of Qiao Ying's failed products.
Lin Cheng: "Miss Qiao came all this way, you probably didn't just come specially to give me this robot, right?"
Qiao Ying: "It's winter break, so I'm traveling around randomly with Qin Hanyue, and just happened to deliver the robot on the way, and also bring Fourth Master back to its hometown to take a look."
At this time, Fourth Master was playing with its brothers and sisters.
Lin Cheng glanced at Qin Hanyue, stroking the cat in his arms.
His expression did not change on the surface: "Then how long do Miss Qiao and Mr. Qin plan to stay here? Where are you planning to go next?"
Qiao Ying: "Haven't decided yet, let's see."
She had just rejected Lin Cheng, then took the initiative to come knocking right after. With Qiao Ying's character of not taking losses and not lowering her head, of course she would not openly state her purpose right away. Even if they were cooperating, she had to grasp 60% of the say.
So she had to make Lin Cheng ask her for help again.
Lin Cheng was no fool either. He saw through Qiao Ying's seemingly reasonable excuses. Based on his little understanding of Qiao Ying, at most 20% of her words could be believed.
He did not know for now what Qiao Ying's purpose was for this sudden visit after rejecting him. Although his current situation did need Qiao Ying's help very much, she had refused him before.
Lin Cheng was not magnanimous, and he valued face.
For this opportunity delivered to his doorstep, Lin Cheng did not plan to eagerly grab it. Instead, he wanted to wait and see, and try his best not to let himself become the dominated party. After all, Qiao Ying was no easy mark. If he desperately begged her, he would certainly suffer badly.
So neither of them spoke up.
Lin Cheng smiled and said a very official line: "On behalf of Country C, I welcome you two. If you need a tour guide, I can arrange it for you. If you need me to accompany you personally, I am also willing."
Qin Hanyue: "Then we'll have to trouble the Duke."
Lin Cheng: "Are you two staying together? Or...? If together, I'll arrange a bigger room for you."
Qin Yan mentally snarked: Staying together? Like at the hotel in Continent M, with Third Young Master sleeping on the sofa?
