In the back courtyard of the old mansion, Old Sir Qin had already changed clothes and lain down.
Of course, he was still unconscious, and whatever Zhai Tianmin had said about waking up soon was nonsense.
The old man was originally in poor health and had been poisoned; there was no way he could recover so quickly.
In Qin Youling's room, Lu Xiao had taken a shower and changed into a tracksuit, but he could still faintly smell the lingering scent of vomit.
"Lu Xiao, thank you for today." Seeing Lu Xiao coming out of the bathroom, Qin Youling immediately thanked him.
Lu Xiao not only saved grandpa but also retaliated against Qin Kai.
Over the years, she had been bullied by the Qin Family quite a lot.
The two slaps Lu Xiao gave Qin Kai were really satisfying.
"Forget about the thanks, come on, I want to have a good look now," Lu Xiao's gaze landed on Qin Youling's chest.
You said it yourself, you're not going to go back on your word, are you?
Qin Youling's cheeks turned red; could this jerk really be so eager?
And I had you hold Grandpa to save you as well.
Without Grandpa as your shield, would Qin Kai have let you off so easily? Maybe you'd already have been beaten to death!
"Lu Xiao, maybe we could just..."
"Are we looking with clothes on or taking them off to look?"
Qin Youling bit her lip hard; you really want to take them off to look? Are you out of your mind?
"Look at what, I'm tired."
"Hey, a gentleman keeps his word!" Lu Xiao got a bit impatient; are you bullying an honest person?
I didn't even wash properly for a look.
"I'm not a gentleman, I am a young woman!"
Qin Youling looked up and snorted, deciding today she would indeed be deceitful, so what?
"Apart from being a young woman, you are also my wife and for a husband to look at his wife is perfectly justifiable. If you won't take the initiative, then I'll have to do it myself," Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow, is a cooked duck going to fly away?
Having said that, Lu Xiao quickly stepped forward, cornering Qin Youling against the wall.
"Lu Xiao, what are you doing, I warn you, don't mess around!"
Qin Youling's eyes became somewhat frantic; she hadn't expected Lu Xiao to be so bold.
"How am I messing around? It was you who said you'd let me have a good look," Lu Xiao looked down at Qin Youling.
Looking down like that, Lu Xiao took a sharp intake of breath.
Goodness, Qin Youling can't even see her own toes when she looks down, can she?
Feeling Lu Xiao's aggressive gaze, Qin Youling started to feel uncomfortable all over.
Although Lu Xiao had been a great help today, their relationship was only a marriage of convenience, devoid of any real affection.
Moreover, before last night, Lu Xiao was just a stranger to her.
To be stared at so directly by someone she had known for less than a day was hard for her to accept.
"Lu Xiao, if you really want to look, it's not impossible, but I have a condition," Qin Youling extended a hand to push Lu Xiao away a bit.
"You say it."
"Just give up the benefits from the agreement, and you can look as long as you want."
This guy, Lu Xiao, would risk getting killed to cheat Qin Kai out of five million; there's no way he would give up a billion.
Give up the agreement benefits?
Lu Xiao's expression darkened; are you joking with me?
Buddy, I've registered our marriage with you, saved your grandpa, and helped you deal with that scum of the Qin Family, all for that necklace on you.
Once I get the information from the necklace, I can figure out my own identity.
And now you don't want to give it?
"That's impossible," Lu Xiao flatly refused.
Hearing Lu Xiao's unhesitating refusal, Qin Youling suddenly felt a bit unhappy.
I hoped you would refuse, but I didn't expect you to refuse so flatly.
"If you're after the money, then get out of the way!" Qin Youling snorted coldly, pushing Lu Xiao aside forcefully in a fit of anger.
Greedy bastard, you claim to be a soldier, but your whole being is fixated on money.
"What the hell are you angry about?" Lu Xiao curled his lip; I'm the one who should be angry, right?
It's you who broke your word, yet you act as if I'm at fault.
Ha, women!
"I'm going out for a walk." Lu Xiao didn't want to stay with Qin Youling anymore; there's no point if he can neither see nor touch.
"No way!"
"Until Grandpa wakes up, you have to stay with me."
"Qin Kai is thoroughly enraged by you; don't end up dead without knowing how it happened," Qin Youling spoke sternly.
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes; does Qin Youling really think I'm that weak?
It's not that I, Lu Xiao, am arrogant, but not even Qin Kai, let alone all the rubbish of the Qin Family combined, could harm a single hair on me.
But Lu Xiao didn't bother explaining, knowing that even if he did, Qin Youling might not believe him.
"By staying with you, they won't make a move?"
"At least they would be somewhat restrained."
Hearing Qin Youling's reply, Lu Xiao scoffed, "You really overestimate yourself. They dare to kill your grandpa, what count are you?"
"What do you mean by that, Lu Xiao?"
"Just what I said; your grandpa is on the brink of death because someone poisoned him."
Qin Youling's face changed drastically, her eyes riveted on Lu Xiao.
"In this kind of matter, you either don't do it, or you do it thoroughly."
"If I'm not wrong, within today, the person who poisoned will make another move on your grandpa."
"Of course, they might come straight for you, since either one of your deaths would return the Qin Family to what it was," Lu Xiao shrugged, explaining a few words.
