Unexpectedly, Yan Beicheng countered the man who liked Yan Zhiqing using the schemes and tricks of an imperial concubine.
Immediately, Yan Beicheng was heard saying, âHow pitiful that your hunger was not sated by the hotpot last night. Since thatâs the case, you must eat more during lunch today.â
While Yan Beicheng spoke, he threw multiple glances at Wei Wucai.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wei Wucai felt speechless.
Yan Beicheng ordered the hotpot and waited for the restaurantâs delivery.
They then went to Yan Zhiqingâs nanny van so that they could relax and wait.
While the others hopped into the van, Yan Beicheng didnât.
âElder Brother and Sister-in-law, why arenât you guys going inside the van?â
Yan Beicheng took the chance and dragged Yan Zhiqing somewhere further away from the van.
Lin Chu followed at the side.
âYou didnât tell me everything clearly over the phone last night,â Yan Beicheng said. âWhen I called you last night, you had just arrived in the hotel room. It was already very late. Doesnât this mean that you had stayed in Wei Wucaiâs room until very late at night?â
âBrother, I know this sounds inappropriate, but I didnât think much about it last night. In addition, we are friends. He knows you all so well. We are like siblings. Do you not trust him?â Yan Zhiqing said.
Yan Beicheng was worried sick because of his little sister. He said, âEven if we know each other very well, he is a man. Heâs not your biological brother. You, being a single woman, was alone with him, a single man, in a room late at night. If you were both in the right mood, something could have happenedâ¦â
âBrother!â Yan Zhiqingâs face turned so red. She stomped her feet twice and shouted, âWhat are you saying!â
Lin Chu said, âYour brother is right that this is an issue. Even if you two are good friends and even if you two have feelings for each other, you still need to be careful.â
Unlike Yan Beicheng, she was not against the possibility of a loving relationship sprouting.
However, Yan Zhiqingâs face turned even redder. âSister-in-law, what are you talking about! Why are you saying that we like each other!â
Yan Beicheng gave a very straightforward reply. He took his phone out and opened the front-view camera without turning on the beauty mode.
He said as he showed the screen to Yan Zhiqing, âLook at yourself. If you donât have any feelings for him, why would your face turn red?â
âNoâ¦â Yan Zhiqing tried to explain. âI am blushing because of what you guys said. It didnât turn red because you were right about me. It just happened because I felt uncomfortable after hearing what you said.â
âAnyway, whether it was Wei Wucai or someone else, itâs best to be careful,â Lin Chu said. âYou are simple-minded, which means that you probably wonât notice the schemes of a man. If you remain a fool, you might get taken advantage of.â
She added, âI am not saying that you should have a very conservative mindset. When the feeling is right, those things can happen naturally.â Back then, her relationship with Yan Beicheng was not platonic.
Therefore, Lin Chu felt that it was wrong to demand for Yan Zhiqing to remain pure.
âHowever, even if the feeling is right and things are happening naturally, whether something does happen should still depend on who he is to you. What if you donât actually like him and it happened accidentally, but because you didnât think it through, you fell into his trap? Well, I canât really call it a trap. Anyway, what if you werenât careful and was taken advantage of?â
Lin Chu went on, âTherefore, whoever he is, you still need to be careful. You usually work somewhere far away from home and away from us. If something happens, we canât get to you immediately. We would be very worried.â
Yan Zhiqing thought that Lin Chuâs explanation was much more acceptable.
