Are you... Auntie?
Yan Mingyu looked at the text message several times before replying.
Her own background was known only to Auntie Ye Xinyue, not even Qin Yu had been told.
They’re chasing me, can’t explain much, don’t ever return to the Ye Family, leave the East Sea... and stop sending me messages, I’m about to throw away my phone!
Soon, Ye Xinyue sent back a message which clearly showed her situation was very urgent.
This...
Yan Mingyu bit her lower lip, she still had a large company and an elderly grandfather, it was not like she could just leave the East Sea as they suggested.
"Wife, who sent you that message?"
Seeing Yan Mingyu’s complexion looking somewhat upset, Qin Yu asked with concern.
In the hospital room, it was just the two of them, and they were preparing for their wedding, so naturally, he would call her ’wife’.
"Auntie... oh, you probably don’t know her. She’s the body double for Pei Luoyan, you might have seen her in the suburban area, she doesn’t look much like Pei Luoyan, she just wears a special mask!"
Yan Mingyu explained in great detail.
At noon, she had even promised Qin Yu that they would discuss everything together from now on, so she didn’t keep anything hidden anymore.
"Oh... I see. No wonder you let Pei Luoyan go back then, must’ve been your auntie pleading for her, right? By the way, what did she say?"
Qin Yu said, as if a lightbulb went off in his head.
"She asked me to leave the East Sea... Actually, I’ve never told you about my background, my mother was from the Ye Family, and I don’t know how powerful the Ye Family is because my auntie forbade me from investigating or understanding more about it. But, for her to be so wary of them, they must be extraordinary!"
Yan Mingyu said, frowning slightly.
"The Ye Family? I’m not too clear about them either. But wife, don’t be afraid. Auntie probably doesn’t know the level of my strength now; I can even take down Huang Lianying and Feng Wudao. If the Ye Family dares to come looking for trouble, I’ll help you drive them away!"
Qin Yu shook his head; although he had been a soldier, he came from a very ordinary background and couldn’t reach many levels of society.
However, he believed in his current strength and felt he could compete with many.
"That’s right, I haven’t contacted auntie since we parted ways in the suburban area!"
Qin Yu’s words greatly reassured Yan Mingyu. The Ye Family, no matter how powerful, were at most on par with the Martial Alliance. The Martial Alliance still had no sway over Qin Yu, so the Ye Family shouldn’t be able to do anything to him either.
However, the fact that auntie had just said the Ye Family was after her did worry her a bit.
"Wife, don’t think too much. We’ll deal with the soldiers, and we’ll shore up against the floodwaters," Qin Yu said.
Qin Yu, holding Yan Mingyu’s slightly cold hand, gently squeezed it.
"Alright then, I won’t call grandfather just yet. Looks like the wedding plans have to be pushed back!"
Yan Mingyu nodded her head.
Just as one issue had been resolved with Huang Lianying and Feng Wudao, the Ye Family emerged as another problem.
"Do we really need a wedding to prove our love? If we must prove it, why not start by having a baby?"
Qin Yu felt that ever since he learned the dual cultivation mental method, his interest in matters of men and women had been growing stronger.
"You... you’re still injured!"
Yan Mingyu’s flawless complexion turned red all of a sudden.
"Heh heh... I was just saying!"
Qin Yu scratched his head sheepishly.
"Have an apple, I’m going to visit grandfather’s place!"
Yan Mingyu shoved the peeled apple into Qin Yu’s hand and got up to leave the hospital room.
With the end of the year fast approaching, every household was preparing New Year’s gifts. She decided to take some time to walk the streets with her grandfather, buy some things for the New Year, and incidentally mention that she and Qin Yu might not be able to hold their wedding before the New Year.
Lingling...
Just as Yan Mingyu left, Qin Yu’s phone rang; it was a call from Miao Xian’er.
"Hello, Xian’er..."
Qin Yu’s feelings for Miao Xian’er were quite complex. To say he didn’t like her at all would clearly be deceiving himself.
Especially this time, if it weren’t for her help, I might have already been crippled by Feng Wudao.
Plus, there’s the fact that we actually slept together, if I were to say I have no feelings for her now, that would be a bit too heartless and scummy.
"I’m preparing to go back to Miaojiang with Ghost Granny. In a month, it’ll be New Year. Will you come to Leigong Mountain and spend it with me, okay?"
Miao Xian’er asked in a coquettish manner.
"Hmm... if I have time, I’ll come!"
Qin Yu hesitated before responding.
"Don’t worry, I’ve thought it through. A man as awesome as you, I can’t have you all to myself. So even if you do come, I won’t keep you on Leigong Mountain for the rest of your life. Just remember me in your heart, knowing I was your first woman is enough!"
Miao Xian’er said quite magnanimously.
"Uh..."
At Miao Xian’er’s words, Qin Yu felt a bit embarrassed. After a second or two, he sheepishly said, "I’ll try, I’ll do my best to make a trip!"
"Okay then, I’m about to board the plane. Give me a kiss!"
Miao Xian’er said sweetly.
"What, can’t hear you, bad signal..."
Qin Yu moved the phone away and mumbled something before hanging up the call.
She’s truly a vexing little demon!
Yes, vexing, that’s the word. I remember how drained I was when we did Dual Cultivation that night.
The night passed without incident.
The next day.
Qin Yu got out of bed, washed up, and planned to check on his father, as he hadn’t contacted him much lately. With the end of the year approaching, he wanted to buy him some New Year’s gifts.
Knock knock...
At that moment, a knocking at the door sounded, "Qin Yu, is it convenient to come in?"
It was the voice of Lu Wenrou. Experience tales at freewebnovel
"Just a moment, I’ll come open the door!"

Qin Yu put on a coat and opened the door. It really was Lu Wenrou, her eyes sparkling and looking very excited.
"You came back from Capital City so soon?"
Qin Yu asked, a bit puzzled.
"Yeah, after I handed Feng Wudao over to Yuan Tiangang, I went to Dragon Gate’s headquarters one more time. Guess what I managed to accomplish?"
Lu Wenrou was standing with her hands behind her back, apparently holding something.
"Let... the Martial Alliance stop troubling me?"
Qin Yu guessed after thinking for a moment.
"Not that... Yuan Tiangang is too influential for me to sway, but this will probably make a difference. With this amulet, he should think twice before taking any action against you!"
Lu Wenrou brought her hands from behind her back and presented a black booklet with a five-clawed golden dragon printed on it: "You’ve served as special forces, received commendations for your service to the country, and your cultivation is close to Half-Step Pill Holding. Dragon Gate needs talents like you, so headquarters has decided to appoint you as the leader of the Dragon Gate Special Operations Unit.
It turns out, you’re now my superior. There’s nothing I can do; I haven’t even reached Huajin yet. Otherwise, I could’ve been a team leader too, at the same rank as Han Bing! From now on, we’ll be in the same team, battling side by side again!"
"Ah..."
Qin Yu felt both shocked and moved.
He knew Lu Wenrou was helping him. As she said, with Dragon Gate’s protection, ordinary individuals and organizations would hesitate to mess with him.
"Uh... is there any catch?"
Qin Yu scratched his head and asked. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and Dragon Gate’s favorable treatment likely came with strings attached.
"There is!"
Lu Wenrou nodded seriously. After Qin Yu took the booklet, she continued, "Help Dragon Gate capture someone. This person is in the provincial city!"
