Chapter 261: Good Intentions

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Brother, just say it.”

After a moment of hesitation, Huo Xuan asked, “What do you think of Qin Hao?”

“Huh?” Huo Siyu was puzzled. “Why did you suddenly mention Qin Hao, Brother? Isn’t he like that? What else can I think of him?”

“So, you like him?”

Huo Siyu was even more confused now.

“What do you mean by that? Isn’t he my fiancé? I’m going to marry him sooner or later. Why are you suddenly asking this?”

Huo Xuan paused, “It’s nothing. I just want to say that if you don’t really like him, you don’t have to care about the engagement. Although the engagement was decided by the elders of the two families, if you don’t want to, I can help you cancel the engagement.”

Huo Siyu stepped on the brakes and the car behind almost hit them.

“Brother, why are you saying this out of the blue?” She actually felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that he wanted to cancel her engagement with Qin Hao.

“How can I just cancel the engagement that the elders have decided on? Besides, when our two families have a marital alliance, other than the relationship between the two families, there are also some interests involved. It’s very troublesome to cancel the engagement. Besides, there’s nothing bad about Qin Hao. He has a good family background, is capable, looks passable, and is an honest and straightforward person. All these years, other than me, there have been no other women around him. If I cancel the engagement, I might not be able to find a fiancé like him who’s reassuring…”

“Rainy.” He had just brought up the topic, and she had such a big reaction. He was not stupid. How could he not tell what it meant?

Huo Siyu only realized that her reaction seemed to be a little too big after being interrupted.

However, what she said was the truth.

Putting aside the interests of the family, she might really not be able to find a better fiancé than Qin Hao after the engagement was canceled.

“Didn’t you think that if Qin Hao found out about you…”

Afraid that she would think too much, Huo Xuan quickly changed the topic, “Brother doesn’t mean anything else. Your past… is all because us, your family members didn’t protect you well. It’s not your fault. Instead, we made you suffer.”

“But you know Qin Hao’s identity too. If he knows your identity, I’m afraid…”

That wasn’t what Huo Xuan cared about.

So what if he knew her identity? Would Qin Hao still dare to harm Rainy?

With him protecting her, Qin Hao wouldn’t have the chance.

Rainy and the three of them had jointly destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island, which meant that they didn’t like that identity either. Since she had already retired, the past was the past, and Rainy had a new life now.

He was worried that since Qin Hao had concealed himself and use another persona to face Rainy, if Rainy really fell for Qin Hao…

Just as Min Rufeng had said, Rainy was very guarded against people.

She had only completely accepted her family recently.

If Rainy fell for Qin Hao but realized that Qin Hao had always been lying to her, she would probably be injured.

He didn’t want to see that happen.

“Brother.”

Huo Siyu held the steering wheel tightly and smiled at him casually. “It’s not your and our parents’ fault. If you want to blame someone, blame Ghost Slaughter Island. Brother, you don’t have to blame yourself for this.”

“Besides, although I’ve experienced a lot over the years, it might not be bad. Look at me now. Don’t I have a lot of ability? If it wasn’t for my experiences and skills over the years, I would have fallen into Huo Sisi’s hands when I returned to the Huo Family.”

Hearing her words, Huo Xuan felt even more guilty.

It was true that he didn’t like Huo Sisi, but back then, in order to ease the pain of his parents losing Rainy, he didn’t stop them from adopting Huo Sisi.

If he had known that Huo Sisi was such a vicious person, he wouldn’t have let her enter the Huo Family no matter what back then, even if he was so sick that he couldn’t even leave the house.

Yes, he was very sick during that period of time. His health was already not good, and Rainy’s sudden disappearance had dealt him a huge blow.

It was one disaster on top of another.

Fortunately, Rainy came back safely.

Huo Xuan’s change in mood naturally did not escape Huo Siyu’s eyes.

Huo Siyu hurriedly said, “Of course, Huo Sisi is only a small fry. Now that it’s been resolved, she won’t have the chance to come back and find trouble again.”

“Anyway, I want to tell you that I’ve actually not been living as badly as you think all these years. Not only did I learn a lot of skills, but I also got to know three good friends who would entrust their lives to me.”

“As for Qin Hao, Brother, you don’t have to worry. If he really minds my identity, then… we can cancel the engagement.”

“Besides, Beauty Yu said that Second Young Master Yin had told her that Qin Hao isn’t someone who doesn’t know how to adapt. Even if he knows my identity, he might not become an enemy.”

“So, Brother, don’t worry. Don’t mention breaking off the engagement for the time being. Brother, what you should do now is to follow the doctor’s instructions and get better.”

Huo Xuan looked at her and finally sighed softly.

Forget it. Hopefully, Qin Hao would be smarter and not make a mess in the end.

***

At the parking lot.

Qin Hao followed behind Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin. “Second Yin.”

Yin Jiujin stopped in his tracks and turned back. “Please call me by my full name.”

Yan Jinyu also turned back and blinked. Her gaze wandered between Yin Jiujin and Qin Hao.

This was the first time she had seen Yin Jiujin show such a different emotion in front of someone other than her.

If anyone else had made him so unhappy, he would have retaliated ruthlessly.

From the looks of it, Yin Jiujin and Qin Hao really had a very good relationship.

“It’s been almost a year since we last met and you don’t even greet me now?” The last time they met was during the new year, so it was almost a year since they last met?

Yin Jiujin threw him a glance and then ignored him. He held Yan Jinyu’s hand and turned to leave.

“Second Yin, I heard that something happened in the Lingering Garden some time ago?”

Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin stopped in their tracks before they turned to look at Qin Hao.

Yin Jiujin’s gaze at Qin Hao was clearly a little unfriendly.

However, Qin Hao was unmoved and continued, “I heard that Liu Junqing’s fiancée is still in the Lingering Garden?”

“I know you don’t want others to interfere in your matters. All these years, I’ve never asked too much about your matters, but now…”

He glanced at Yan Jinyu. “On account of our many years of friendship, I still want to remind you to let Liu Junqing’s fiancée leave the Lingering Garden.”

That woman seemed to be called Yu Qingwan. When he was young, he had met Yu Qingwan when he had gone to the Lingering Garden with Second Yin and Liu Junqing a few times.

The way Yu Qingwan looked at Second Yin was obviously wrong.

It was fine in the past as it was just a woman. If Second Yin liked her, so be it, since there was no one else around Second Yin. Furthermore, he had no interest in Yu Qingwan at all.

However, regardless of whether he liked Yu Qingwan or not, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family didn’t look like a kind person. If she found out that there was a woman like Yu Qingwan, who had been thinking about Second Yin, living in his territory, she would probably make a big fuss.

Actually, it didn’t matter if she made a fuss. However, Second Yin seemed to care about the eldest daughter of the Yan Family very much.

He made an exception and told him this as his brother.

After a long while, Yin Jiujin said, “Thank you.” However, he didn’t say if he would do as he said.

Of course, reminding him was already an exception for Qin Hao. He had no intention of interfering.

He believed that Yin Jiujin had his own decisions.

Just as he was about to walk towards his car on the left, Yan Jinyu called out, “Young Master Qin.”

Yin Jiujin and Qin Hao were both surprised that she would suddenly speak up.

They both looked at her.

Yan Jinyu smiled and said, “I know what Young Master Qin is worried about, but Young Master Qin’s worries are unnecessary. I know about Yu Qingwan.”

“However, I still have to thank Young Master Qin for your concern.” She was thanking him for caring about Yin Jiujin.

“However, Yu Qingwan can’t leave the Lingering Garden for the time being. She’s still useful.”

Confusion flashed across Qin Hao’s eyes.

Yan Jinyu didn’t intend to explain further. She only smiled at Qin Hao and nodded before walking away with Yin Jiujin.

Qin Hao looked at her back deeply before turning to walk to his SUV.

He was naturally puzzled.

What was the point of keeping Yu Qingwan?

Could it be that the truth of Liu Junqing’s betrayal could be found through Yu Qingwan?

No, Second Yin might not tell Yan Jinyu about such a big matter.

However, if Second Yin didn’t say anything, how would Yan Jinyu know so much?

Moreover, this eldest daughter of the Yan Family was too strange.

She was so different from the rumors and completely unfathomable.

Not only was she strange, Min Rufeng, Xi Fengling, and his little fiancée were also strange.

Their friendship was so deep that it didn’t make sense.

Qin Hao frowned slightly as he opened the car door and got in.

It concerned his little fiancée so it seemed like he had to investigate properly.

Yin Jiujin opened the door of the front passenger seat for Yan Jinyu, but he didn’t let her get in immediately. Instead, he trapped her at the door.

“Little Yu’er, did you do it on purpose just now?”

Yan Jinyu’s back was pressed against the car and was trapped by Yin Jiujin.

“Brother Nine, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Yan Jinyu’s round eyes were filled with smiles, and she looked a little silly.

In fact, she naturally knew what Yin Jiujin was talking about.

That’s right, she really did call Qin Hao to say those words on purpose.

Didn’t she know that Qin Hao would suspect her after hearing her words?

Of course not.

On the contrary, she knew very well that someone like Qin Hao would definitely suspect and investigate after hearing what she said.

This was the effect she wanted.

Since Little Rain had feelings on Qin Hao, she would give Little Rain a hand.

If Qin Hao was really as Little Rain had said previously, he was just an honest and straightforward person, she wouldn’t have interfered. But after seeing Qin Hao, she knew very well that Qin Hao couldn’t be an honest person at all.

Not only that, Qin Hao was also a little unfathomable and exuded an indescribable sense of danger.

If Little Rain wanted to be with Qin Hao forever, the matter of her identity would definitely not be hidden for long. Instead of causing trouble then, it was better to leak the news to Qin Hao before Little Rain’s feelings for Qin Hao got that intense.

If he really had feelings for Little Rain, it wouldn’t have mattered even if he found out anything. If his feelings for Little Rain were not strong enough and he could not accept Little Rain’s other identity and might even become enemies with Little Rain, she could also let Little Rain get out of it as soon as possible before she fell in too deep.

She didn’t know if this was considered meddling in other people’s business. She simply didn’t want her companion, who had struggled together with her all the way until now, to be hurt.

If this happened to someone else, she wouldn’t have interfered.

If Qin Hao couldn’t accept Little Rain after knowing the truth and Little Rain blamed her because of it, she would accept it.

Yin Jiujin trapped Yan Jinyu even tighter. “Little girl, are you still trying to play dumb in front of me?”

“However, since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask further. However, it makes me feel uncomfortable that you don’t want to tell me the truth so you have to comfort me.”

“How…”

Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered.

Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh. What excuse was that? He was clearly trying to take advantage of her.

Instead of struggling, she raised her arms and wrapped them around his waist.

The kiss lasted for a long time.

In short, the two of them arrived at the restaurant the latest.
