Ye Qiu stared blankly at the doorway.
After Ye Lingling ran out, Ye Qinshui appeared before his eyes.
She was holding a stool in her hand and sat down opposite Ye Qiu with a smile.
Her face showed an apologetic expression.
"Xiao Qiu, don't mind Lingling. This girl is still experiencing this for the first time, so it's normal for her to be shy."
"Uh-haha, no, I don't mind."
Ye Qiu's face was a bit awkward.
He furtively rubbed the spot where Ye Lingling had just ambushed him.
So Aunt Ye hadn't left at all, but was squatting in the corner outside, right?
You really are something.
Ye Qinshui didn't care about any of that.
No one saw her squatting in the corner, and if she didn't say anything, who would know?!
What's more...
What's wrong with squatting in her own daughter's corner? Wasn't it for her own good?
This girl was truly muddled.
How could she wait for such a thing? She should strike while the iron is hot!
As a mother, she naturally had the duty to complete what her daughter hadn't.
Therefore.
At this moment, Ye Qinshui was calm and composed, a gentle smile on her face.
She raised her hand and served Ye Qiu another bowl of soup.
At the same time, she softly asked:
"Xiao Qiu, what do you think of Lingling?"
"She's very good."
Ye Qiu replied with a dry laugh.
It seemed he had no other answer for such a question, did he?
However, Ye Lingling was indeed very good; her family background, appearance, and talent were all impeccable.
As for her personality...
None of this was her original intention.
Ye Qiu often saw a hint of envy in her eyes when she watched Xiao Wu and the others playing.
"Really? You mustn't lie to your Aunt Ye."
Ye Qinshui stared straight at Ye Qiu, looking exactly like a mother-in-law eyeing a prospective son-in-law.
"Everything I said is true."
Ye Qiu affirmed.
"Is that so..."
Ye Qinshui's smile was a bit eerie.
She said faintly, "Then Xiao Qiu, since you and Lingling have done that, shouldn't you take responsibility for her?"
"Cough, cough..."
Ye Qiu, who was drinking his post-meal soup, almost choked.
He helplessly looked up.
"Aunt Ye, do you trust me that much?"
"Hmph! Don't flatter yourself. Your Aunt Ye doesn't trust you... but my Lingling."
Ye Qinshui rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu in exasperation.
"Uh..."
Ye Qiu's face showed an awkward expression.
In the end, he had been overthinking it.
Ye Qinshui looked at his expression, scrutinized Ye Qiu a few times, and scoffed, "A man of your caliber must have many confidantes, right?"
Ye Qiu was stunned and couldn't refute.
Ye Qinshui sighed softly.
"Alas, there's nothing I can do. I understand my Lingling's personality. Since she's taken a liking to you, I naturally can only support her."
"Otherwise, she might end up alone for the rest of her life."
Ye Qiu chuckled, "Aunt Ye, you're exaggerating. Lingling certainly won't lack suitors."
"But Lingling has to be impressed, right? With a gem like you before her, it will probably be hard for anyone else to catch Lingling's eye in the future."
Ye Qinshui raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Qiu.
She put away the smile on her face, her expression solemn.
"Alright, tell me... your answer."
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment.
He always felt a bit muddled in his life.
It seemed like things were happening naturally, but when it came to making a decision, he would feel a bit dazed.
A bit cheap...
Taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu said seriously, "Aunt Ye, I will give you and Lingling a satisfactory answer."
Ye Qinshui frowned slightly and nodded.
Although Ye Qiu's answer wasn't entirely satisfactory to her, at least the matter was settled.
After a while.
Ye Qinshui said indifferently:
"My satisfaction isn't important. What's important is making Lingling satisfied. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Ye Qiu nodded silently.
Next.
Ye Qinshui only talked about Ye Lingling's childhood.
She told Ye Qiu about her daughter's hobbies, eating habits, and some old stories and embarrassing incidents.
About fifteen minutes later.
Ye Qiu had finished his meal and drinks, and he was still concerned about the arrangements at Blue Tyrant Academy.
He had to pick up Tang San outside the city.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to do?"
Ye Qinshui, who had just taken a sip of rice soup to moisten her throat, noticed Ye Qiu's unusual behavior.
Ye Qiu nodded slightly:
"Yes, I do have some urgent business."
"If you have urgent business, then go ahead. Lingling can stay at home for now."
"Then, Aunt Ye, I'll see you next time. I'll come back to pick up Lingling and return to the academy after I've finished my business."
"Go."
Ye Qinshui waved her hand.
Ye Qiu didn't delay any longer. He opened his Eternal Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and as his figure distorted, he left Ye Lingling's boudoir.
Ye Qinshui watched this scene.
A hint of amazement appeared in her eyes.
"What a marvelous Spirit Ability."
She murmured, then looked towards the door again.
She smiled and called out:
"You dead girl, aren't you going to come in quickly? Shouldn't you thank your mother properly?"
As her voice fell.
Ye Lingling's figure appeared at the doorway, looking at Ye Qinshui with misty eyes.
She quickly threw herself into Ye Qinshui's embrace.
...
Inside a certain restaurant.
The tall Bone Douluo was sitting in the room, quietly waiting for Ye Qiu's arrival.
Space fluctuated for a moment.
Bone Douluo's gaze was calm as he tossed a peanut into his mouth.
"Kid, why are you so late?"
Ye Qiu's figure appeared.
He smiled apologetically at him: "There was a small interlude while eating, but it's fine now."
"Don't you dare bully our little princess, or else Sword Person and I won't let you off."
Bone Douluo glanced at him.
He just assumed that his backyard had almost caught fire.
"How could I? I cherish Rongrong too much."
Ye Qiu chuckled lightly.
He didn't explain anything. They already knew about Ye Lingling's matter and had tacitly accepted that all the women involved with Ye Qiu were his confidantes.
"Bone Senior, is the carriage I need ready?"
"Don't worry, it's been ready for a long time. It's right at the entrance of Blue Tyrant Academy. You can see it as soon as you go."
Bone Douluo nodded.
He had already arranged these matters. He would also be keeping an eye from the shadows along the way, in case anyone from Xue Beng's side came to cause trouble.
"That's good."
As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking.
His appearance began to change.
His skin gradually turned dark, his hair became white, and his face became weathered, looking exactly like a coachman who had traveled extensively.
...
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Tang San, who had just finished lunch.
Was planning to take a nap with Dai Mubai and the others.
The things he learned yesterday had quite an impact on Tang San, and he hadn't fully recovered yet.
Knock, knock!
Just as he lay down with Dai Mubai and the others, there was a knock at the door.
"Young Master, it's Tai Long of the Strength Clan."
"Tai Long?"
Tang San opened his eyes and got up.
He still cared a bit about his father's subordinates.
"Why is he looking for Little San at this time?"
Next to Tang San, on the bed where Dai Mubai was lying, Dai Mubai also opened his eyes.
"I don't know either. I'll go out and see."
Tang San shook his head.
He put on his shoes and clothes, then walked outside.
As soon as he opened the door, what greeted his eyes was a strong, rugged man.
Tai Long bowed respectfully.
"Young Master! Grandfather has something he wants me to tell you..."
