Lin Xinlan made up her mind in secret, realizing that at this point, she no longer had any options left.
She quietly left the room, returned to her own bedroom, and dialed Qiao Yiyang's number.
On the other end, the call was quickly picked up, and Qiao Yiyang, restraining his eager heart, asked somewhat unexpectedly, "Xinlan? I didn't expect you'd call me proactively. What's the matter?"
"Qiao Yiyang..." She took a deep breath and asked seriously, "If Rong Mingyan were to harm me, could you stop him?"
Qiao Yiyang's brow furrowed slightly, "He wants to harm you? I've told him not to hurt you, he couldn't possibly disregard my orders."
"You mean to say, if he wanted to harm me, you would be fully capable of stopping him, right?"
Qiao Yiyang didn't understand what she was getting at, but he still replied honestly, "Of course! I'm his elder brother, my authority is greater than his, and he won't go against my commands."
