Chapter 678: Brother Has the Ability
"What are you laughing at? What sneaky thoughts are you hiding in that belly of yours?"
Upon seeing Qin Yu chuckling to himself contentedly, Han Qingying immediately furrowed her brows and asked.
"Nothing, I was just thinking of something happy!"
After shrugging his shoulders, Qin Yu then looked at Han Qingying's mature and beautiful face and said, "Besides, if you weren't willing, do you think I could force myself on you?"
"You... a dog can't spit out ivory!"
Han Qingying glared at Qin Yu fiercely.
But when she thought about it, even if they were pretending to be a couple, she wouldn't be proactive, and with his little cultivation, he really couldn't take advantage of her.
Ptui ptui...
How could she possibly take the initiative, unless she was possessed by a ghost!
"Right, remember, don't tell anyone that we're pretending, including Han Bing. Otherwise, if word gets out, all our efforts will come to nothing!"
Qin Yu solemnly reminded her.
"I know, I'm only forty years old, not eighty. I'm not that forgetful!"
Indeed, women are all petty. Qin Yu had just said she was so old at forty that she had become hard of hearing, which had been gnawing at her all this time.
"Han Qingying, honestly, if you hadn't told me yourself, I would have taken you for Han Bing's sister!"
Qin Yu said as he carefully observed Han Qingying.
One reason was that she came from a distinguished family and didn't have to worry about her livelihood or engage in hard labor from dawn to dusk. Thanks to her good genes, her skin was fair with a healthy flush and maintained its elasticity. She had never given birth, so her figure was slender and taut. Plus, with the support of True Qi, she looked no more than around thirty.
"I don't need your flattery!"
Han Qingying did not give Qin Yu any pleasant looks.
"Er..."
Qin Yu felt a bit awkward, as he had only said those things in an attempt to ease the tension between them. After all, they were going to be pretending to be a couple for a while, and he did not want to have an ice sculpture for company.
"Are you full? Let's go out for a walk and try our luck!"
Han Qingying stood up and said.
There was heating in the private room, so she took off her windbreaker, revealing a black base shirt underneath. As she got up, something seemed to be hidden under her shirt, even bouncing a little.
That elasticity really wasn't typical of a forty-year-old woman.
"Alright!"
Qin Yu had found a way to deal with the person hiding in the dark, so he felt somewhat relieved.
He followed Han Qingying out of the hotel and began to stroll on the streets.
"Huh..."
After walking through a few streets, Qin Yu felt as if someone was following them. It seemed like the person who had been lurking in the shadows had shown up.
He pretended not to notice and lightly bumped Han Qingying with his elbow, "Hey, like this, we're no different from two strangers. How should we act like a couple? We need to be more affectionate, understand?"
"How do we act more affectionate?"
Han Qingying asked with a straight face.
"How about holding my arm? That's not going too far, is it?"
Qin Yu originally wanted to put his arm around Han Qingying's waist, but he knew she would never agree to that.
"... You'd better behave yourself!"
After a few seconds of silence, Han Qingying still hooked her arm through Qin Yu's, but if you looked closely, she kept a certain distance from his body at all times.
After all, Qin Yu was her niece's man.
At this moment,
a black SUV drove past them.
After turning the corner, it came to a screeching stop.
The person sitting inside was none other than Han Bing. Her chest heaved slightly, and she stared incredulously at the rearview mirror.
It was understandable that Aunt Qingying invited Qin Yu for dinner to discuss dealing with those two Dual Cultivation experts.
But holding hands and strolling together? What was that about?
She knew Aunt Qingying's temper well. Just like herself, Aunt Qingying hardly spared a glance for ordinary men, and she had even almost killed Qin Yu.
Now the two of them were so close. What was the meaning of this?
With this thought, Han Bing found her aunt's number and called. After the call connected, she asked, "Auntie, are you coming over tonight?"
"Have you finished work? I might come back a bit later!"
Han Qingying said.
"Oh, are you still having dinner with Qin Yu?"
Han Bing asked casually.
"Um... no, just out for a stroll!"
Han Qingying agreed to Qin Yu, not even telling Han Bing that they were pretending to be a couple. However, she shouldn't lie to her own niece.
"With whom?"
Han Bing asked again.
"...Qin Yu, just having a chat!"
Han Qingying hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower!"
Han Bing ended the call, her face full of suspicion. What exactly was her aunt cooking up with Qin Yu?
Could it be that her aunt had also fallen for this Casanova?
That's not logical!
After glancing at the rearview mirror a few more times, Han Bing finally drove the SUV home.
It's not like she could get out of the car and confront them in person, making it seem as if she was going to have a falling out with her aunt.
Lingling...
That's when Qin Yu's phone also started ringing.
Picking it up, he saw an unfamiliar number. A slight curl of his lips—his fish had finally taken the bait.
He pressed the call button and said indifferently, "Who's this?"
"Qin Yu, you're quite the lucky man, hiding Yan Mingyu away and now strolling around with another beautiful woman?"
The voice from the other end of the phone spoke sinisterly.
"Heh, when the home flag stands steady, the outside banners flutter gloriously. I've got what it takes!"
Qin Yu sneered in response.
"Good, very good..."
The person on the other end spoke coldly and then hung up immediately.
Dammit, Han Qingying is a master of the Channel-Opening Realm, go ahead and try to kill her, if you have the guts!
Qin Yu muttered inwardly before hanging up the phone.
It appeared to him that sending Yan Mingyu to the safety house at the special police squadron had been a smart move. From the caller's tone, it was not hard to infer that they must have gone to the villa looking for Yan Mingyu but came up empty.
"Han Qingying, who called you just now that you have to go back?"
Qin Yu glanced at Han Qingying and asked.
"What's it to you?"
Han Qingying replied irritably.
"Don't go back tonight, let's get a hotel room!"
Qin Yu stated bluntly.
Since the adversary had shown themselves, they might as well end this quickly, taking this great opportunity to dispose of them.
"Say that again!"
Han Qingying raised her voice and her eyes held a trace of anger. Was this pervert showing his true colors?
"Hmph, come or not, it's up to you. Haven't you noticed that someone's following us? This is the only way to provoke them into showing themselves!"
Qin Yu huffed. He deliberately mixed truth with lies, leading Han Qingying to believe that they were being followed by the two Dual Cultivation experts.
"But... we're not ready yet, even if they show up, we can't beat them just the two of us!"
Han Qingying, since Qin Yu made sense, furrowed her brows and said.
"Hmm... Let's do this, we'll go back to the hotel first. Then inform Han Bing to have her team stand by near the hotel; once the fight begins, they'll move in!"
Qin Yu gave it some thought and then said.
He needed to alleviate Han Qingying's concerns so she would fully cooperate with him.
"Alright, let's go back then!"
Han Qingying nodded.
With her perceptive abilities, she had obviously noticed they were being followed, but the pursuer had quickly vanished, leaving her unsure if it really was the Dual Cultivation masters.
Soon.
The two of them walked back to the Peninsula Hotel along the street and opened two luxurious suites at the front desk.
After getting the room cards, they took the elevator to the door of their rooms.
Upon swiping the card and entering, Qin Yu closed the door and then said, "Wait twenty minutes, then start shouting."
"Shout what?"
Han Qingying asked with a puzzled look.
"Cough cough, tell me, what do you think a man and a woman are supposed to do in a hotel room? If you don't shout, how will others believe that we are... busy?"
Qin Yu gave a cough as he spoke.
