‘Then let her stay, no matter how she looks or acts.
‘In any case, as long as revenge is impossible, the young master would not be able to relax. At least with this person by his side, he would be able to alleviate some of his pain.
‘Perhaps, in his heart, he had already regarded Qin Yu as his unborn younger sister.’
Whenever he thought of this, Uncle Wen’s eyes would feel a little sour.
Ning Chen took a deep breath and held onto Uncle Wen’s arm for a while.
Uncle Wen steadily allowed his young master to take out his anger on him, and said gently.
“Ah Yu and Ah Bi told me that the young mistress went to the clubhouse to look for you today. In the end, she came back right away because she was embarrassed.”
Uncle Wen could not help but smile as he spoke.
“Young Mistress has the heart of an innocent child. She can sense that we treat her well and always wants to repay us. She’s a good person.”
Ning Chen’s hands relaxed bit by bit from his butler’s arm.
Uncle Wen heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’ll go and see her. Uncle Wen, ask Guan Yue to come over tomorrow morning,” Ning Chen said lightly.
His butler was relieved. “Okay.”
Young Master’s calamity today was over.
Uncle Wen was willing to regard the young mistress as his own blood, and to treat her well.
Every time Ning Chen fell ill, he would be afraid to stand in this pitch-black courtyard as he would always hear his parent’s laughter and a baby’s babbling echoing through the atmosphere.
It made him feel that they were stuck in time, unable to advance or retreat, waiting for him to rescue them. It tore him inside and made him feel like he was in hell.
The lights in the master bedroom lit up and Ning Chen’s heart warmed.
There was a corner in his empty heart that was filled with a sense of security and satisfaction.
It made him clearly feel that he was still alive, even though he was still having a splitting headache now. He could remain sober and calm.
He pushed open the bedroom door, and a faint fragrance drifted into his nostrils.
Ning Chen was stunned.
He felt a bolt of lightning splitting through him from head to toe.

After a long pause, until his legs had become a little stiff from standing, he finally crossed the high threshold of the door and slowly moved to the side of the bed.
It was still his big rosewood carved bed.
He looked up and saw a small silver ball hanging at the innermost corner.
Ning Chen could not help but smile, his eyes slightly moist.
He had made a total of four similar ornaments in the past and he intended to give them to his unborn younger sibling as a gift. Each one would be hung on the corners of their small cradle. Even when they grew up, Ning Chen believed that they would still admire this intricate little object.
He had once stubbornly thought that his mother would definitely give him a younger brother, so he made these miniature silver spheres.
If it was a sister, he would have directly given her pearls. He had a small top-grade South Sea Pearl, similar to the night pearl, which would faintly shine at night.
However, regardless of whether it was pearls or silver balls, it all ended up in his collection. He had not dared to touch them.
This time, Genius Girl’s requirements for the drug were too high. For a moment, he could not think of anything that was more convenient and safe for storing medicine, which was why he thought of these four silver balls.

Giving them away was also a way for him to persuade himself to let go of his obsession. Handing them to her was the most suitable way.
She also mentioned that the scent had to be light, and it should not make anyone feel disgusted. The effect was to make men sleepy after smelling it and not have any desire for women.
He then thought of the glazed aroma. It was a sedative medicine that he had developed during those years when he was sick. It allowed him, who had terrible insomnia, to sleep well occasionally.
How could a person who was extremely tired crave for women?
His gaze fell on the petite girl who was curled up in the corner of the bed.
Although Qin Yu might have fallen into a deep sleep, it felt good to have someone accompany him in his world.
She was still hugging her tablet in her arms.
Everyone had been deceived by her. It was probably not just used for playing games, right?
Ning Chen took a deep breath and inhaled the whiff of fragrance into his lungs.
He could not describe his feelings.
Was he angry? Did he want to laugh? Happy? Depressed?
He was all of them, and yet he was not.
Qin Yu slept very soundly. She was a normal young girl, but she was extremely beautiful. Although the Shi family had tried their best to vilify her, she had tried to downplay herself.
However, it didn’t change the fact that she was still extremely alluring. Her facial features were angelic, as if they had been carefully carved.
She definitely deserved the title of ‘vixen’.
