Two days later, the wounds on Fu Yanli's back had completely healed.
However, the business at the Imperial Dynasty Bar hadn't been good these past two days. Without Fu Yanli's performances, many patrons simply weren't interested.
Qin Hui, on the other hand, enjoyed the two days of leisure.
At noon, Lu Yueyue arrived, accompanied as usual by four female bodyguards, giving off an intimidating aura.
Lu Yueyue was dressed very demurely today. She wore a white short-sleeved top and green pencil pants, paired with white sneakers, exuding a youthful goddess vibe.
However, Lu Yueyue's behavior was far from that of a goddess. She practically threw herself onto the sofa in Qin Hui's room, resting her long legs on the table and leisurely eating fresh strawberries one by one.
As for the four female bodyguards, Lu Yueyue had left them at the bar entrance.
"Tsk tsk, Qin Hui, it looks like you've been living quite comfortably these past few days," Lu Yueyue said, munching on strawberries with a cheerful expression.
Having been confined at home for a few days hadn't changed Lu Yueyue's quirky disposition.
"You've come at the right time. I heard Bai Xiong returned to the Qin family yesterday, so he should be arriving in the next couple of days." Qin Hui sat on the side of the sofa, gazing out at the beautiful scenery.
"Hey, what's with that attitude? You're the one who asked me for help this time. Come here and rub my shoulders." Lu Yueyue, unyielding, ordered him around. At home, she most enjoyed bossing around her servants, and moreover, Qin Hui was willingly doing this.
"Are you really treating me like a servant?"
"My dear Miss Lu, can't you think of any other diversions?" Perhaps because of the marks on Fu Yanli's body, Qin Hui felt a certain weariness towards Lu Yueyue's behavior. It was hard to imagine that such a vibrant and sunny Lu Yueyue had a father like that. Did she have any idea?
"Qin Hui, what do you mean? If you want my help, you have to listen to me. What, do you want to go back on your word?"
"If you want to back out, you can. I'll leave right now. Without my help, can you handle Bai Xiong?" Lu Yueyue said haughtily. As a young lady, she had always been this proud.
*Swish.*
Qin Hui pulled the curtains shut. Looking at the proud Lu Yueyue, Qin Hui suppressed a smile.
Lu Yueyue naturally didn't miss Qin Hui's expression. However, before she could get angry, Qin Hui walked behind her and began to massage her shoulders. Even through her clothes, Lu Yueyue's shoulders felt incredibly soft. The only regret was that the white short-sleeved top was too form-fitting, preventing Qin Hui from catching even a glimpse of her chest.
Just as Lu Yueyue was feeling incredibly relaxed, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Hearing the knock, Lu Yueyue's brow furrowed slightly, clearly displeased.
When Qin Hui opened the door, he saw Fu Yanli standing there.
"Miss, why didn't you inform me of your arrival so I could greet you properly?" Fu Yanli walked in with an apologetic expression.
"Alright, alright. I'm just here to relax. There's no need to make such a fuss. Go back to your work," Lu Yueyue waved her hand, signaling Fu Yanli to leave quickly.
"Okay, Miss. Have a pleasant time." Fu Yanli nodded and then exited Qin Hui's room. As she left, she gave Qin Hui a look.
Qin Hui understood and followed Fu Yanli out of the room.
"Qin Hui, you really are capable. But I warn you, Lu Yueyue is not someone you can mess with. Lu Zhengchun is not to be trifled with." Fu Yanli said with a serious expression.
"Did you misunderstand something?" Qin Hui asked guiltily.
"Hmph, what could I possibly misunderstand? Why did you close the curtains in broad daylight?"
"And when I came in just now, Lu Yueyue was clearly in a bad mood. Did I interrupt something between you two?" Fu Yanli's eyes were sharp and perceptive. As a woman, and one who worked in such a profession, she understood these things best. Lu Yueyue might not seem to have any relationship with Qin Hui, but sometimes such relationships are cultivated bit by bit through subtle interactions. Fu Yanli wanted to cut it off in its infancy. She knew that the Lu family was not as simple as she thought, and having already gotten entangled herself, she didn't want Qin Hui to get caught up with her. Normally, Fu Yanli would have ignored such matters, but since Qin Hui had healed her wounds, she felt obligated to speak up.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Qin Hui patted Fu Yanli on the shoulder, reassuring her.
Fu Yanli was slightly taken aback but nodded nonetheless.
A moment later, Qin Hui returned to his room.
"Qin Hui, I think Sister Yan cares quite a bit about you. Just now, I saw that she wasn't here to see me, but to see you, right?" Lu Yueyue asked pointedly. As women, their intuition was incredibly sharp.
"Mmm." Qin Hui looked dejected. This woman's intuition was too accurate. Qin Hui would never admit to such a thing.
"Miss Lu, you're being too sensitive. Sister Yan is such a beautiful woman, why would she care about me?" Qin Hui attempted to deflect.
"Heh, you call her Sister Yan, but you call me Miss Lu. Do you think I'm an idiot?" Lu Yueyue very shrewdly deduced the situation from Qin Hui's words. Hearing this, Qin Hui was speechless, realizing his defense was futile.
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Since you call her Sister Yan, call me Sister Yueyue from now on. Be my little brother, and I'll look out for you." Lu Yueyue said very cheerfully.
"Cough, cough." Qin Hui couldn't help but cough, thinking, *You're younger than me, and you want me to call you 'sister'? Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?* It seemed that after this matter was resolved, he would have to properly educate this woman and make her understand the proper hierarchy.
"What? You disagree? If you disagree, then don't ask me for help with this matter!" Lu Yueyue crossed her long legs, displaying their elegant curve. She had plenty of ways to control Qin Hui.
"You!" Qin Hui really wanted to point at Lu Yueyue and scold her, but in the end, he relented. When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.
"Are you not convinced?"
"Even if you're not convinced, you have to accept it. Who told you to be my follower?" Lu Yueyue grabbed Qin Hui's sleeve, acting very arrogantly. Lu Yueyue's domineering, feisty personality left Qin Hui speechless. However, as they stood so close, the fresh breath from Lu Yueyue's mouth made Qin Hui pause, especially her beautiful face so close to his. He felt a strong urge to pinch it and vent his frustration.
Seeing Qin Hui's somewhat fiery gaze, Lu Yueyue's face turned slightly red, and she quickly let go of his sleeve. In that moment, Lu Yueyue felt a peculiar sensation.
