282: Chapter 282 Xiaoyue's Abnormality

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Lin Xiaojin's emotions have spiraled out of control. Rewarding Host with +520 villain points!"

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Lin Xiaojin's emotions continue to be out of control. Rewarding Host with +520*2 villain points!"

"..."

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Lin Xiaojin has developed an extreme emotional dependency on the Host. Rewarding Host with +520*52 villain points!"

Over the next few days, except for the brief intervals when she changed her clothes, Lin Xiaojin never left Qin Ge's embrace.

Xiao Yue brought their three meals to them.

Xiao Yue picked up their clothes and took them to be washed.

Qin Ge claimed to be sparing no effort to earn villain points, but in reality, he felt sorry for Lin Xiaojin, who kept her longing hidden and wouldn't easily express it for fear of disturbing him.

"Qin Ge, I'm going back tonight." Dressed in a maid outfit and wearing cat ears, Lin Xiaojin snuggled weakly in Qin Ge's arms and whispered softly, "If you have time, could you come back and stay more often?"

Qin Ge dotingly toyed with Lin Xiaojin's cat ears and said jokingly, "What, haven't I fed you enough yet?"

Lin Xiaojin's face flushed crimson as she shook her head. "No, I mean you should go back to the company more often."

"I feel like Emilia has been a bit off lately. Her enthusiasm for work is too high—unbelievably high."

"Bai Jing said that since Emilia is the young lady of the Feller Family, it's impossible for her to care about those few hundred million in scraps. The only reason she would stay at Qin Yun Tiancheng is because of you, Qin Ge!"

"But during this time, Emilia hasn't been able to see you, so she can only use busy work to forget her longing."

"Bai Jing says that if she continues working at such high intensity, Emilia might suddenly break down one day!"

Emilia?

The image of that exotic, top-tier beauty surfaced in Qin Ge's mind.

Back then, he had merely saved Emilia's life from Duke Dracula in passing.

That had caused her to fall lovesick, traveling thousands of miles across the ocean to find him!

Originally, he hadn't paid much attention to Emilia.

After all, Emilia wasn't a Daughter of Destiny.

But the current situation was slightly unexpected.

Yue Kui of the Yue Family, as well as the old woman who secretly protected Lin Xiaojin, had mentioned that many people with ill intentions were plotting against Emilia.

Some of them even involved characters from the original plot of the Child of Destiny.

Is it possible that Emilia is also a Daughter of Destiny?

Could it just be that the plotline involving Emilia hasn't started yet?

Qin Ge shook his head, pushing these thoughts to the back of his mind for now.

He exchanged for a body strengthening pill and handed it to Lin Xiaojin, saying, "Take this Medicinal Pill and give it to Emilia. Once I've settled the matters at hand, I'll return."

"Okay." Lin Xiaojin nodded and took the pill, gently stroking Qin Ge's cheek with concern. "Don't overwork yourself either; I'll be worried!"

Looking at the ripples in Lin Xiaojin's clear eyes, Qin Ge couldn't help but feel his heart flutter. "Before you go, how about trying on the remaining outfits for me?"

Lin Xiaojin wrinkled her nose.

How could she not hear the subtext in Qin Ge's words?

Did he just want to look?

He clearly wanted to take advantage of the gaps while she was changing to bully her!

Lin Xiaojin felt that her whole body was truly weak now; just thinking about it made her calves tremble.

But seeing the look of expectation in Qin Ge's eyes...

No matter what, she couldn't refuse Qin Ge's request.

She could only shyly nod her small head and give a soft "mm" in agreement.

...

The next day,

Qin Ge saw Lin Xiaojin to the car and had Qiao Yingzi escort her back to Yunhai City.

It wasn't until Lin Xiaojin returned to the company, made a video call to him, and hung up after chatting for a while that he surveyed the messy floor in the room.

"Xiao Yue!"

Qin Ge dialed the mobile phone he had left for Xiao Yue. Once it connected, he said coldly, "Get over here!"

A moment later, Xiao Yue, wearing a black and white maid outfit, arrived before Qin Ge timidly. She lowered her head and murmured softly, "Young Master Qin, did you call for me?"

Previously, she had grown accustomed to the master-servant relationship with Qin Ge.

She had even changed her form of address to 'Master'.

But over the last two days, as her heart grew increasingly troubled, she switched back to the title 'Young Master Qin'.

Qin Ge pointed at the messy floor. "These clothes have been lying here for at least two hours. Didn't you think to pick them up and wash them?"

"Oh..."

Xiao Yue responded in a muffled voice.

In fact, she had intentionally been less diligent.

For some reason, seeing Qin Ge and Lin Xiaojin so intimate together made her heart feel exceptionally stifled.

It was an indescribable discomfort!

Especially seeing Lin Xiaojin snuggling in Qin Ge's arms, looking as beautiful as a flower, it made her heart feel sour and very uneasy!

"Do you think you haven't caused enough trouble for me already?!"

Qin Ge watched Xiao Yue as she bent over, her Perfection-level curves on display. He kept a stern face and said coldly, "First, there was Yue Kui, the eldest young master of the Yue Family who targeted Lin Xiaojin."

"Just today, I received news that the Yue Family has also moved against the people around me."

"Even the Moon God Society that Yue Kui mentioned has started causing trouble in my Dragon Kingdom!"

"Are you, Xiao Yue, hiding something from me?"

Xiao Yue looked up and shook her head vigorously. "I don't know that playboy named Yue Kui, and I don't know anything about the Yue Family or the Moon God Society. Young Master Qin, I'm being wrongly accused!"

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Yue Kui recognized you at a glance. Moreover, although the aura on him is very faint, it is remarkably similar to yours in every thread!"

"And you're telling me you have no idea?"

Xiao Yue shook her head. "I don't know the people you're talking about, Young Master Qin!"

She clenched her small fists and bit her moist lips. Tears were welling up in her eyes. "Young Master Qin, why won't you believe me?"

"I'm really not lying to you!"

"Why is it that you're willing to believe everything Lin Xiaojin says, but when I, Xiao Yue, give my repeated word, you aren't willing to trust me even a little bit!?"

"You're talking about Lin Xiaojin?" Qin Ge sneered. "What makes you think you can compare yourself to Lin Xiaojin?"

Hearing Xiao Yue's words, Qin Ge thought to himself: the fish has finally taken the bait!

He suddenly struck, reaching out to grab Xiao Yue's chin and tilting her face up slightly. His voice grew even more chilling. "You're comparing yourself to Xiao Jin? What right do you have to be compared to Lin Xiaojin?"

Xiao Yue clenched her small fists, her heart growing more bitter as she retorted with rare defiance, "Why can't I be compared to Lin Xiaojin? She's a woman, and I'm a woman too! She can speak, and I can speak too, and I'm not lying!"
