Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 501: I’m Your Older Brother, You’re My Younger Sister

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: I’m Your Older Brother, You’re My Younger Sister

Qin Xin had a delicious late-night snack at Nalan Ye Jue’s villa and went to her bedroom to rest early.

The man seemed to have work to deal with, busy in the study.

She looked at the row of thoughtfully placed pillows in the middle of the bed, separating the sides, and her heart warmed.

The man was still gentlemanly, taking her feelings into account.

Isn’t it rare to find someone like this?

What reason does she have to refuse to take a step further with him?

Qin Xin covered her face.

She felt that the barrier of defense and resistance in her heart seemed to have melted another layer. If the thickness of this barrier could be measured in units, it should have quietly changed from an initial decimeter thickness to today’s thin millimeter.

She buried her head in the pillow.

That night, she slept surprisingly sweetly.

Not a single dream was made.

She didn’t know if Nalan Ye Jue was asleep.

When she slept, he was still in the study, and when she got up in the morning, the man was already in the kitchen making her breakfast.

The problem was, the man clearly slept later and got up earlier than her, yet seemed more energetic. Not to mention he had no dark circles, even his deep eyes still radiated starry brightness.

Too extraordinary.

＝＝

Stayed at Xinghe Bay for two days.

On Mrs. Nalan’s birthday, Nalan Ye Jue left work early to take Qin Xin to the banquet.

Fortunately, the birthday banquet was held before the school term started; if it were on a school day, amidst a heap of miscellaneous affairs, Qin Xin truly couldn’t find time.

On the road, Nalan Ye Jue had already given her a heads-up: "Little lady, rest assured, half of today’s guests are close relatives from the last betrothal banquet. The other half are mother’s friends, elites from political and business circles. But don’t worry, mother has already instructed all relatives that we should keep a low profile, forbidding them to disclose our relationship to outsiders. She will introduce you as the daughter of her friend. Little lady can play at ease."

Mrs. Nalan was surprisingly meticulous.

Qin Xin was quite surprised.

It seems that the humorous and bold lady was actually detailed amidst her roughness.

Moved, Qin Xin suddenly recalled more pressing concerns: "Then... what about you?"

Nalan Ye Jue called her little lady repeatedly; it would be difficult to keep this identity hidden, wouldn’t it?

Nalan Ye Jue completely saw through her worries, smiling: "Since you are mother’s friend’s daughter, then I am your next-door brother."

Qin Xin’s little face inexplicably turned red!

This brother-sister thing, it’s so embarrassing.

Suddenly remembering that Mrs. Nalan also called her husband "brother," her face reddened more.

This "big brother," she definitely wouldn’t dare call Mr. Nalan.

Seeing Qin Xin’s ears turn red to her cheeks, her cute appearance was like a ripe little cherry. Nalan Ye Jue appreciated it so much he almost forgot to turn the steering wheel.

The car skidded a few times, he quickly retracted his joke: "Call as you like, any way you want. I have to welcome the guests for her, you can freely wander around the old estate."

"Ah? Is the birthday banquet at your family’s old residence?"

"Yes."

"So the place where you grew up?"

"Yes. Why, does the little lady not want to see the room and bed where her husband slept?"

"No, I..."

She suddenly felt a bit nervous!

The last engagement was at a hotel, and it felt ordinary.

Now it’s going back to the old estate with Nalan Ye Jue, which is the real home of Nalan Ye Jue.

Suddenly feeling like an ugly bride facing a test from the husband’s family.

Although Mrs. Nalan promised to help them keep a low profile, preserving the status of a hidden marriage, this is in the Nalan home.

The Nalan family knows she is the soon-to-be bride.

Isn’t she going to be scrutinized from every angle?

Wait, won’t she dress too simply today???

Suddenly regretting not bringing a battle gown!
