The Strategy For The Yandere Movie Queen Failed And Was Marked. Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Chapter 42 The storm is coming

The afterglow of the sparkler performance has not dissipated, and there still seems to be a burning breath in the air.

The two of them were sitting in the Ferris wheel.The Ferris wheel’s car slowly rises, isolating the noise on the ground bit by bit.

In the small space, only the two of them and the increasingly vast night view outside the window were left.

The lights of the city spread out beneath your feet, like an upside-down galaxy, quiet and brilliant.

Su Jin lay on the glass and sighed softly: “It’s so beautiful…”

She rarely had time to sit down and take a good look at the city.

Especially when the system was on, I was rushed to complete tasks every day and had no time to play. Still with——

Su Jin peeked at the person sitting opposite, with a tiny glint in her eyes.

“Qinglan,” she suddenly said, her voice was very soft and a little dependent, “It would be great if it could always be like this.” Don’t worry, just enjoy each other’s company and see the prosperity of the world.

Ye Qinglan stood up, sat next to her, gently held her in his arms, and let her head rest on his shoulder.”I will.” She promised in a low voice, rubbing her chin on the top of Su Jin’s hair with gentle movements.

Su Jin found a more comfortable position in her arms, feeling the peace and warmth, but with mixed feelings in her heart.

She was greedy for the warmth at this moment, but the system’s warnings and the unknown “void world” always flashed through her mind involuntarily.

The system took a long time to return, as if there was a sword of Damocles hanging above her head.

She didn’t know how long this kind of peace could last. She could only hold on to every minute and second in front of her like a thief who stole time, feeling the warmth of Ye Qinglan’s embrace.

“I really wish… time could stop here.” She murmured almost in a whisper, with worries that she was not fully aware of.

Ye Qinglan keenly caught the hint of imperceptible confusion in her tone. Just as he was about to lower his head and ask, another system’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind, cold and swift:

[Ye Qinglan, that system is trying to deeply search the underlying logic of the world line, and the vulnerability scanning progress has reached 78%.Will be back soon.We don’t have much time.】

This news was like ice water on top of water, instantly washing away the warmth in Ye Qinglan’s heart.

Her arm around Su Jin stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, and her eyes suddenly became sharp. Her eyes looking out the window at the boundless night were full of cold calculation and determination.

Su Jin’s system… is about to find out the truth.

When it comes back, the real battle begins.

[How many viruses are deployed?What is the probability of capture?】

[Okay, virus deployment is half done.The capture probability is 28%. If the owner helps, the probability can be increased to 50%]

【No!] Ye Qinglan vetoed it without thinking, [We can’t let her know!】

The system is speechless, [the system can be captured, the owner will still know.It would be better to tell the owner earlier and let her prepare.】

Ye Qinglan was silent.

After a long time, she said: [It only makes her happy for a while.】

If she were to let her know that he had always known that she was cheating, she would probably become angry.

The system said no more and disappeared directly.

Ye Qinglan’s emotions did not disappear. When she looked down at Su Jin in her arms, who knew nothing about it, her eyes became soft again.

She tightened her arms and hugged Su Jin tighter, as if she wanted to rub her into her bones and blood.

“It won’t stop here.” Her voice was very soft, but with unquestionable determination, “We will have many nights like this in the future, and they will be even better than now.”

Su Jin raised her head and looked into her deep eyes. There seemed to be a whirlpool inside, trying to suck her in.

She didn’t understand why Ye Qinglan was so sure, but that certainty strangely soothed the secret uneasiness in her heart.

She curled her lips and nodded, temporarily putting those worries behind her and leaning back on Ye Qinglan’s shoulder, focusing on the mutual support at the top of the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel slowly descended, the lights outside the window got closer and closer, and finally stopped smoothly on the platform.

The two put on their masks, walked out of the car hand in hand, and rejoined the flow of people in the night playground.

Only this time, the atmosphere between them was obviously more intimate, and their fingers were tightly intertwined, as if they didn’t want to be separated at all.

The night wind brought the aroma of food, and Su Jin’s stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

She touched her belly with some embarrassment, looked up at Ye Qinglan, and blinked her eyes above the mask: “Qinglan, I’m hungry. I heard there is a delicious barbecue restaurant! Let’s go eat something and then go home, okay?”

The anticipation in her tone was irresistible.Ye Qinglan looked at her eyes that were still moist due to the intimacy just now, her heart softened into a puddle, and she naturally nodded in agreement: “Okay, I will listen to you.”

They left the amusement park, found the highly rated barbecue restaurant, and asked for a relatively secluded booth.

Although you still need to wear a mask to enter and exit, in the small cubicle, you can finally take off the restraints temporarily.

The warm yellow light shone on Su Jin’s face. Her cheeks were still slightly flushed due to playing and previous shyness, which made her look particularly delicious.

“Then I’m going to show off my skills!” Su Jin volunteered to pick up the slices of meat and put them gently on the hot baking pan. The slices of meat immediately made a sweet “sizzling” sound.She stared intently at the changes in the meat slices and turned them over carefully, as if she was handling a precious work of art.

Ye Qinglan did not stop her, but leaned lazily on the back of the chair, following her every move with gentle eyes.

“I remember that someone would burn the eggs when cooking at home. Why are you so confident today?” she joked, with a smile in her eyes.

Su Jin pouted: “That’s different! This is to thank Teacher Ye for playing with me all day today and helping me win that huge bear.”

She glanced at Ye Qinglan quietly, “You don’t know how envious the children around you looked at me when you hit the last target.”

“So, you are a kid too?” Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows, her tone full of doting.

“Can’t I ask for a gift if I’m not a kid?” Su Jin said confidently, placing the first piece of meat that was roasted to perfection on the plate in front of Ye Qinglan, “Try it quickly, make sure it’s charred on the outside and tender on the inside!”

Ye Qinglan picked up the slices of meat, dipped them in some special sauce, and put them into his mouth to savor.

Under Su Jin’s expectant gaze, she paused deliberately for a while, until the other party was almost anxious, then she smiled and said, “It’s indeed delicious. Your craftsmanship has improved rapidly.”

Su Jin immediately beamed, and put a few more pieces of meat on the baking sheet: “Of course! I secretly learned the tutorial online. I know you like to eat slightly browned, so I grilled it for ten seconds longer.”

Such careful discovery made Ye Qinglan feel warm in his heart: “So you are so attentive.”

“Of course,” Su Jin lowered her head and flipped the meat slices with a soft voice, “I remember everything about you very carefully.”

These words made the air between the two suddenly become sweet.

Ye Qinglan picked up a piece of lettuce, wrapped the grilled meat skillfully, and handed it to Su Jin’s mouth: “Reward our chef.”

Su Jin bit her hand and inadvertently brushed her fingertips with her lips. They looked at each other and smiled, and some unspoken throb spread in their hearts.

After dinner, it was already dark.

Back in the car, Su Jin leaned on the passenger seat contentedly, and the tiredness accumulated after playing for a day gradually came over her.

The car was filled with the faint smell of barbecue and the familiar scent of each other, mixing into a reassuring smell.

Ye Qinglan started the car and drove smoothly home.

The night view of the city recedes quickly outside the window, and soothing music flows in the carriage.

“I’m really happy today,” Su Jin half-closed her eyes, her voice full of tiredness, “From the movie in the afternoon to the barbecue just now, every moment was perfect.”

Ye Qinglan left a free hand to hold hers gently: “There will be many days like this in the future.”

“Well,” Su Jin held her hand and stroked her palm gently with his fingertips, “many, many…”

Before she finished speaking, her head was tilted in the direction of Ye Qinglan, and her breathing became even and long.

Ye Qinglan looked sideways and saw that Su Jin had fallen asleep.

The warm yellow streetlight occasionally passed over her sleeping face, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyes, and her lips were slightly pouted, looking soft and innocent.

While waiting for the red light, Ye Qinglan carefully tucked the hair that fell on Su Jin’s cheek behind her ear. Her fingertips lightly touched her warm skin, and she felt warm in her heart.

She slowed down the car more steadily, for fear of disturbing her sweet dream.

The city lights are brightly lit at night, but the carriage is a quiet little world of its own.

The car drove smoothly into the underground parking lot of the apartment. After it stopped, Ye Qinglan did not wake Su Jin immediately.

In the dim light of the parking lot, she quietly stared at Su Jin’s sleeping face, her fingertips hanging in the air, tracing the outline of Su Jin’s facial features, but she was reluctant to touch them.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Jin’s eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she ran into Ye Qinglan’s deep and focused eyes.

“We’re here? Why didn’t you wake me up?” Her voice was hoarse as if she had just woken up.

“I see you slept soundly.” Ye Qinglan chuckled, reaching out to straighten her messy hair, “I can’t bear to do it.”

These three simple words made Su Jin’s heart feel sweet.

She unbuckled her seat belt, leaned over and gave Ye Qinglan a quick kiss on the cheek: “Reward for your thoughtfulness. Let’s go home.”

The two of them walked upstairs together and returned to the warm nest that belonged only to them.

As soon as she entered the door, Su Jin kicked off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the floor: “Ah – it’s still comfortable at home!”

“Go take a hot bath first to relieve your fatigue.” Ye Qinglan suggested softly and hung up their coats.

Su Jin responded and happily got into the bathroom.

Not long after the sound of water flowing started, Ye Qinglan’s cell phone in the living room also rang.

Ye Qinglan saw the name on the caller ID – it was Zhao Man.

She frowned slightly and answered the phone, “Hello? What’s the matter?”

“Qing Lan! Did you and Su Jin go to the amusement park today?” Zhao Man’s voice was full of urgency and dissatisfaction. “You were recognized and took a video and posted it online! Fortunately, our people discovered it early and bought it out in time!”

Ye Qinglan’s eyes flashed, and he walked to the balcony and lowered his voice: “Is it serious?”

“It’s under control now. But Qinglan, you are in a critical period now. How many pairs of eyes are staring at you! If you go to a crowded place like an amusement park at this critical moment, is Su Jin…”

Zhao Man paused for a moment before continuing: “Su Jin is so ignorant. She must have encouraged you, right? I knew she would cause you trouble…”

“Zhao Man.” Ye Qinglan’s voice suddenly cooled down, with an unquestionable warning, “I am taking her there. From now on, I don’t want to hear anything bad about Su Jin. She is mine, and it is not anyone else’s turn to judge. Do your part and handle the follow-up well. I don’t want to see any related topics arise.”

Zhao Man on the other end of the phone seemed to be intimidated by her momentum and fell silent for an instant.

“Besides, CP’s matter has been decided in advance. Didn’t I ask you to contact her agent? Even if the video is spread, the company’s public relations will be fine. As long as it’s not serious, don’t call me again!”

Ye Qinglan said, hanging up the phone, a chill flashed in his eyes.

This Zhao Man, relying on his seniority, is getting more and more over the line.

After the system is completely resolved, it is time to deal with these unstable factors.

Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the system that is about to return, and… to protect the person around her who made her willing to take risks.

Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

After a while, Su Jin walked out wrapped in a bath towel, covered in moisture, with flushed cheeks: “Lan Lan, I’ve washed it, you can go.”

Ye Qinglan put away the coldness in his eyes, put on a gentle look, and nodded: “Okay.”

When Ye Qinglan walked into the bathroom, Su Jin wiped her hair and picked up her mobile phone to check the hot search list as usual. After confirming that the situation was calm and there were no entries related to them, she was completely relieved.

After playing with her phone boredly for a while, she remembered today’s “business” and a sly and shy smile appeared on her face.

She quietly slipped into the bedroom and began to arrange tonight’s special program.

The warm yellow ambient light was turned on, a soft and thick carpet was laid on the floor, a small table was placed, an ice bucket and red wine were placed, and a pair of “couples-only” playing cards with a pattern of entwined roses were placed.

After doing this, she seemed to remember something and walked to the closet. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a small bag from the inside. Inside were two pieces of extremely sexy lingerie that she had secretly bought before.

One is a black lace see-through model, and the other is a burgundy satin strap model.

Her cheeks were burning, and she hid these two “secret weapons” under her pillow, preparing to use them as “special rewards” or… punishments in the game later.

When Ye Qinglan opened the bedroom door, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

Under the dim and warm light, Su Jin was already kneeling on the carpet, waiting for her.

She put on a silk nightgown that was relatively conservative in style but still outlined her beautiful curves. Her freshly bathed skin showed a light pink color, glowing softly under the light.

“Teacher Ye,” she picked up the special pair of playing cards, her eyes moving, “it’s been a long night, do you want something special?”

Ye Qinglan came closer, her fingertips gently brushed the rose pattern on the card box, and her eyes fell on the tips of Su Jin’s reddish ears: “It seems that someone has a premeditated plan.”

“Then… do you want to participate in this premeditation?” Su Jin raised her face, with a provocative and expectant smile in her eyes.

Ye Qinglan leaned over and took the poker in her hand. His fingertips brushed her wrist vaguely, bringing a slight numbness: “I wish you could.”

She sat down opposite Su Jin, and the skirt of her silk nightgown was slightly opened, revealing her delicate collarbones and a piece of delicate skin.

In the air, the cold cedar pheromones belonging to Ye Qinglan diffused indistinctly, quietly intertwining with the sweet fragrance of gardenia on Su Jin’s body.

“The rules are very simple.” Su Jin shuffled the cards a little awkwardly, showing her inner nervousness. “The cards are compared with each other, and the smaller one loses. The loser can choose to drink, or…”

Her voice gradually became lower, with a hint of confusion, “Answer the questions on the card, or complete the specified action. In addition…”

She paused and her cheeks turned redder, “I also prepared some ‘little props’. If you lose three times in a row, you may need to use them.”

Ye Qinglan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest: “It looks like tonight will be exciting.”

In the first round, Su Jin drew the 3 of clubs, and Ye Qinglan drew the queen of hearts.

“Ah! Why is this like this!” Su Jin wailed and reluctantly turned over the punishment card: “Describe the other person’s most heart-warming moment.”

She took a sip of wine, her cheeks were slightly red, but her eyes were extremely serious: “It was the way you looked at me when I was asleep in the parking lot just now. Even if I close my eyes, I can feel it… It’s like the tenderness of the whole world has fallen on me.”

Ye Qinglan’s eyes suddenly deepened, his fingertips gently rubbed the wine glass, his throat moved slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse: “Yeah.”

In the second round, Ye Qinglan drew the 2 of spades and Su Jin drew the 7 of diamonds.

The card Ye Qinglan turned over read: “Use three words to describe your desire for the other person at this moment.”

She pondered for a moment, her eyes locked on Su Jin’s, and her voice was low and clear: “Seductive, charming, irresistible.” Every word seemed to be filled with warmth, gently scratching the tip of Su Jin’s heart, making her involuntarily close her legs, feeling a surge of heat.

In the third round, Su Jin lost again, and the punishment was: “Gently touch the opponent’s most sensitive part for ten seconds.”

Su Jin’s face instantly turned red. She hesitated, leaned over, and gently touched the back of Ye Qinglan’s ears with her cool fingertips. That was where she accidentally discovered that Ye Qinglan was more sensitive.

The skin under her fingertips was delicate and warm, and she could feel Ye Qinglan’s breathing stagnating slightly.

Ten seconds became extremely long, the air was filled with silent electricity, and Su Jin’s fingers even trembled slightly.

In the fourth round, Ye Qinglan lost. The card read: “Say a loving word in the other person’s ear.”

Ye Qinglan approached Su Jin calmly, his warm breath sprayed on Su Jin’s ear. He looked at her earlobes that turned red instantly and murmured in a low voice: “My Jin Jin is more dazzling than all the stars tonight.”

Su Jin trembled, feeling half of her body numb, and subconsciously clutched the carpet.

In the fifth round, Su Jin was defeated again, and the punishment was upgraded: “Exchange a kiss that lasts for thirty seconds.”

This time, Ye Qinglan took the initiative to come closer.

The kiss was gentle and lingering at first, with the mellow aroma of red wine, and gradually became more intense, with an undoubted possessiveness.

Su Jin’s whole body went limp from the kiss, and she almost collapsed on the carpet. When it ended, she could only rely on Ye Qinglan’s shoulder to breathe slightly, her eyes blurred.

The mellow aroma of red wine filled the air, intertwined with the fresh breath after bathing.

Su Jin’s nightgown straps had completely slipped off at some point, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

Ye Qinglan’s nightgown also spread wider, and the graceful curves underneath were vaguely visible.

Every touch is like igniting tiny sparks, every glance makes the temperature in the air rise, and the ambiguous atmosphere surrounds the two of them, almost condensing into substance.

When Su Jin lost again, the cards she turned over made her blush to the point of bleeding – “explore areas of the other party that have never been touched before with kisses.”

Ye Qinglan leaned over, touched her hot cheek with his fingertips, and said in a bewitching voice: “Do you want to admit defeat? Or… do you want to try the ‘props’ under the pillow?” It turned out that she had discovered it a long time ago.

Su Jin met her gaze that was as deep as a whirlpool, her heart was beating wildly, her voice was slightly trembling but firm: “Who is afraid of whom…”

This kiss did not fall on the lips, but was gently printed on the most delicate piece of skin on the back of Su Jin’s neck. It was as gentle as the brush of a butterfly wing, and it was also scorchingly warm.

Su Jin couldn’t help trembling and whimpering, and her fingers unconsciously grasped Ye Qinglan’s loose skirt.

“You have lost so many times,” Ye Qinglan’s lips moved to her ears, his breath warm and smiling, “Is this intentional? Huh?”

Su Jin raised her head, with water in her eyes, and took the initiative to move forward and kiss her chin: “What about you? Teacher Ye… you can obviously win, why do you always give in?”

Ye Qinglan chuckled and kissed her lips again, this time with overwhelming passion: “Because… I prefer to see you succeed in your mischief… and I am more looking forward to… all the ‘surprises’ you have prepared for me…”

When the love was intense, Ye Qinglan’s cedar pheromones filled the room silently. The cold and oppressive breath made Su Jin, an Alpha, instinctively tremble, but was dominated by a deeper desire.

She raised her head, exposing her fragile neck, where Alpha’s glands were burning slightly.

“Lan Lan…” Su Jin’s voice contained an unbearable whimper, and her fingers were deeply embedded in Ye Qinglan’s spread long hair.

Ye Qinglan’s eyes were as dark as thick ink that couldn’t be melted away. She gently stroked the hot skin on the back of Su Jin’s neck and said in a low and gentle voice: “Jinjin, is that okay?”

Su Jin looked into her deep eyes, and there was a gentleness that she was familiar with, and there was also a powerful force that made her willingly surrender.

She took the initiative to put the back of her neck in front of the other person, and her voice was trembling but firm: “Mark me and make me completely yours.”

Ye Qinglan lowered her head and kissed the hot skin gently.

The moment the tips of her teeth pierced the gland, a powerful pheromone was injected into Su Jin’s body.

Su Jin grabbed the blanket on the ground, bit her lip, and tried not to make any sound.

Under the strong invasion of Ye Qinglan’s pheromones, she felt not only an instinctive trembling, but also a strange sense of satisfaction that filled the depths of her soul.

During the marking process, Su Jin trembled all over and clenched the sheets tightly with her fingers.

The cold cedar breath seemed to be flowing through her blood, blending perfectly with her own gardenia pheromones to form a unique and harmonious new breath.

When Ye Qinglan completed the mark and gently licked the fresh mark, Su Jin had fallen softly in her arms, with physiological tears in the corners of her eyes.

“Now, you are completely mine.” Ye Qinglan whispered in her ear, with unprecedented satisfaction and possession in his voice.

Su Jin raised her hazy eyes and felt the burning heat coming from the back of her neck, as well as the wonderful fusion of the two pheromones in her body.

She took the initiative to kiss Ye Qinglan’s lips and responded softly: “I have already been.”

The playing cards were scattered on the floor, entangled with the two pieces of sexy underwear that were saved from under the pillow.

The red wine swayed gently in the glass, reflecting the intertwined figures on the bed.

In this night shrouded in warm light, all the temptations and ambiguities turned into the most direct love words and the most intimate touches. The two hearts got close in the most naked way and found their final destination.

The burning sensation brought by the fresh mark, as well as the scent of cedar and gardenia blending in the air, all silently declared that they belonged to each other completely from now on.

*

The morning light filtered through the gauze curtains and filled the bedroom softly.

Su Jin woke up with a warm and solid feeling of wrapping.

Before she even opened her eyes, she felt a slight stinging and burning sensation on the back of her neck that could not be ignored.

This feeling made her wake up instantly, and the memories of last night came flooding back – the snuggle at the top of the Ferris wheel, the laughter at the barbecue restaurant, the ambiguous flirting during the poker game, and finally… the permanent mark that completely swept her into love.

She subconsciously reached out and caressed the glands on the back of her neck, where there was a clear tooth mark.

When the fingertips touch it, it brings a subtle shiver, but more of it is a strange, filled sense of peace of mind.

In her body, she still seemed to be able to feel Ye Qinglan’s strong yet gentle pheromones flowing quietly, blending well with her gardenia scent.

She moved slightly and realized that she was being held tightly in Ye Qinglan’s arms.

Ye Qinglan slept deeply, and his usually cold face looked particularly soft in his sleep. His long hair was scattered on the pillow, and a few strands brushed Su Jin’s cheek.

An arm was wrapped possessively around Su Jin’s waist, as if he was under unquestionable protection even in his sleep.

Su Jin’s heart instantly softened into a puddle of spring water.

She turned around carefully and stared face to face at Ye Qinglan’s sleeping face, carefully tracing her eyebrows, bridge of nose and thin lips with her eyes.

This was the one to whom she completely belonged and who completely owned her.

She couldn’t help but leaned forward and pressed a feather-like kiss on Ye Qinglan’s lips very gently.

However, the moment the lips touched, Ye Qinglan’s eyelashes trembled and slowly opened.

The haziness of waking up dissipated, and when those deep eyes clearly saw the person in their arms, they immediately revealed a tenderness that was almost drowning.

“Morning, my Jinjin.” Her newly awakened voice was sexy and hoarse. She tightened her arms and hugged Su Jin more closely, leaving no gap between the two.

“Morning, Lan Lan.” Su Jin buried his hot face into the crook of her neck, smelling the scent of cedar that made her feel extremely at ease, “You… are you still feeling uncomfortable?”

Ye Qinglan smiled lowly, and the vibration in his chest was transmitted: “I will hold you and everything will be fine.”

She paused, then gently touched the mark on the back of Su Jin’s neck with her fingertips. She felt the person beneath her tremble slightly, and sighed with satisfaction in her tone, “Does it still hurt here?”

Su Jin shook her head and nodded again, her voice as thin as a gnat: “A little…but, I like it very much.”

This sentence pleased Ye Qinglan. She lowered her head and kissed the fresh mark again. Different from the strong one last night, this kiss was full of cherishment and love.

Su Jin raised her head, like a well-coated cat, and let out a comfortable whimper.

The warmth in the morning was lingering and long, until the sunlight became a little dazzling, the two of them got up lazily.

Ye Qinglan went to prepare breakfast, while Su Jin hugged the quilt and sat on the bed where each other’s breath still lingered, her heart filled with great happiness.

She picked up her phone and subconsciously wanted to share this joy with the world, but her reason held her back.

She just clicked on the chat interface with Ye Qinglan and sent a shy and cute emoticon.

Soon, the notification sound from Ye Qinglan’s cell phone came from the direction of the kitchen.

Su Jin couldn’t help but snicker.

However, this sweet peace did not last long.

When Su Jinzhuo walked out of the bedroom with her slippers on, she happened to see Ye Qinglan standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room answering the phone.

Her back was to Su Jin, and her posture was still upright, but Su Jin keenly noticed a difference——

Ye Qinglan’s knuckles holding the phone turned slightly white, and the aura around her body seemed to be condensed with an invisible layer of frost in the sunlight.

“…I understand.” Ye Qinglan’s voice was very calm, with no emotion. “Proceed as planned and make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Su Jin’s heart sank inexplicably.

She stopped, not daring to disturb.

Ye Qinglan hung up the phone and stood still for a few seconds, as if adjusting his emotions.

When she turned around, her face had returned to the unique gentleness when facing Su Jin, but the flash of solemnity deep in her eyes was still captured by Su Jin.

“What’s wrong?” Su Jin stepped forward and asked with some worry, “Is it… trouble at work?” She remembered the call from Zhao Man last night.

Ye Qinglan reached out and took her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her hair, and said softly: “It’s nothing, I will take care of any little things.”

Her tone was relaxed, but the arm around Su Jin had an imperceptible tension, as if to confirm her presence.

Su Jin leaned in her arms and didn’t ask any more questions.

She knew that there were many things that Ye Qinglan didn’t tell her, such as why she could easily suppress herself as an Alpha, the look in her eyes that seemed to see everything she occasionally showed, and the obviously unusual phone call at this moment.

It’s not that she’s not doubtful, it’s not that she’s not worried.

But after marking, a deeper level of trust and dependence has been established.

She believed in Ye Qinglan, believed that she had her own reasons for not saying anything, and believed that she had the ability to handle everything.

And all she can do is stay by her side, not causing trouble, and… try to make herself stronger, strong enough to be by her side, instead of always being protected behind her.

“Yes.” Su Jin responded softly, hugged her back, and expressed her support with actions, “No matter what happens, I will be by your side.”

Ye Qinglan’s body seemed to relax a little, and she kissed Su Jin’s hair: “I know.”

The atmosphere at breakfast was still warm, but a hint of haze had quietly seeped in.

After the meal, Ye Qinglan went to the study room, saying that he had to deal with some documents.

Su Jin did not follow. She sat on the sofa in the living room, hugging the oversized stuffed bear, but her eyes involuntarily drifted towards the closed door of the study.

She always felt that something was brewing secretly.

The feeling of impending disaster cast a layer of faint uneasiness over the sense of security she had just gained after being marked.

She subconsciously touched the mark on the back of her neck, where the warmth of Ye Qinglan’s pheromones still seemed to remain.

“System…” She called silently in her heart, with annoyance, “When can I come back?”

There was silence.

The voice that had been chattering in her head all the time now disappeared without a trace.

What Su Jin didn’t know was that in the study, Ye Qinglan was facing the computer screen with a stern expression.

A cold voice that only she could hear was reporting:

[Ye Qinglan, the signal strength of the target system is continuing to increase and has exceeded the critical point.Estimated return time: within 24-48 hours.The virus trap is ready, the capture protocol starts counting down…]

The storm is finally coming.

And she was ready to face everything and defend the treasure in her arms to the death.
