Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

"My older brother is very traditional and follows the rules. He's quite old-fashioned, and I don't want to drag you into this..."

Hearing this, Xu Yi finally understood completely.

No wonder this girl looked like a wilted eggplant today; no wonder she suddenly asked me, somewhat obsessively, if I would like to go back and get married.

It turns out that the leader is going to personally go down the mountain to arrest people.

Looking at the baby in my arms, whose eyes were still a little swollen from crying.

A silly girl who puts herself in others' shoes and thinks only of herself.

Xu Yi felt as if something had struck the softest spot in his heart.

Xu Yi stepped back slightly and wiped away Bai Ling'er's tears.

"We'll meet force with force, and water with earth. We live in a modern society governed by the rule of law; he can't possibly come down with a Miao sword, can he?"

He refused to believe it; the other party was the type who wouldn't listen to any reason.

Ling'er once said that her elder brother Bai Que actually doted on her.

Shouldn't we disregard her feelings?

Bai Ling'er sniffed.

Looking at Xu Yi's serious face.

"Sleep peacefully."

Xu Yi tucked her back into the warm blankets and pulled the corners of the blankets up for her.

Perhaps it was Xu Yi's promise that provided a sense of security, or perhaps she was just too tired from crying.

Bai Ling'er soon fell into a deep sleep with her head tilted to the side.

Xu Yi didn't go back to the sofa; instead, he pulled up a chair and stood guard by the bed.

He propped his chin up with one hand, intending to think about how to deal with his brother-in-law from Miao territory the next day, but his eyelids drooped and he fell asleep as well.

……

The next morning, Xu Yi was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Xu Yi suddenly opened his eyes, his muscles tensing instantly.

Is it Brother Ling'er who has arrived?

Xu Yi took a deep breath and even went over the defense strategy in his mind.

He walked over with a solemn expression and yanked open the door.

But standing at the door was her own sister, Xu Qin.

She wore eight-centimeter high heels and sunglasses, exuding the aura of a powerful career woman.

Xu Yi rubbed his eyes, his serious expression instantly crumbling, leaving him speechless.

"Sis? What are you doing here? Why aren't you at work this early in the morning? Are you here cosplaying as a secret agent?"

Xu Qin, wearing high heels, walked straight past him into the living room, took off her sunglasses, and rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong? You sound disappointed? I'm just passing by the head office, can't I stop by and see my dear brother?"

Xu Yi consciously poured Xu Qin a glass of water.

"Okay, whatever you say, sis. Here, have some water."

Xu Qin took the water glass.

"Don't forget to bring Ling'er home with you. I'll pick you up this afternoon."

As they were talking, Xu Qin's gaze swept across the living room and landed on the door to the master bedroom, which was slightly ajar.

Through the crack in the door, a petite figure lay on the large bed, a corner of her pale yellow dress peeking out, strikingly bright in the morning light.

Xu Qin's hand froze slightly.

She slowly turned her head and stared at Xu Yi.

"Xu Yi".

Xu Qin crossed her arms and walked over in her high heels, criticizing in a low voice, "Aren't you two moving a little too fast? I told you last time, you've brought someone to live in the apartment again? These days, male college students really know how to take shortcuts."

Xu Yi blushed and quickly pulled his older sister to the balcony, explaining in a low voice.

She said, half-jokingly, "Sis, it's not what you think! Last night we were eating out, and the waiter accidentally spilled lemon tea all over her clothes. She went back to her dorm to change, but then the power went out. She's a little afraid of the dark and wasn't feeling well, so I brought her back to take care of her."

We're completely innocent. I slept on the sofa last night—a true embodiment of chastity!

Xu Qin glanced at him suspiciously: "Really? Then why didn't you let her go back to the dorm and have her roommates take care of her?"

"How can that be the same?"

Xu Yi's mind raced, and he immediately started making things up.

"Ling'er was unfamiliar with Jiangcheng, and she only trusted me."

He naturally couldn't tell Xu Qin that Ling'er's older brother was coming to kill her and take her back today.

Given Xu Qin's fiery temper, if she knew that her younger brother had found a Miao holy maiden who could unleash poisonous insects to destroy their home at any time...

Moreover, the other family is going to resort to the feudalistic practice of parents forcibly separating couples.

He might have to confront Bai Que right there and then.

After hearing this, Xu Qin reluctantly accepted the reason and snorted coldly.

"Alright, as long as you understand, that's fine. Anyway..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Qin's phone suddenly started vibrating wildly in her pocket.

She glanced at the screen, and her face instantly darkened.

As soon as the call connected, Xu Qin spoke coldly into the phone.

"Hey? What's wrong with your department? You can't even do this little thing right? I already said it the day before yesterday, the PPT of the publicity plan is full of typos, did you just stomp it out with your feet?"

If the high-level meeting is canceled because of your progress, your entire department should report to HR today. Don't expect me to clean up your mess!

This outburst of words made Xu Yi, who was standing next to him, shrink back in shock.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qin rubbed her aching temples and turned to Xu Yi, saying, "I'll drive to pick you up after get off work this afternoon so we can go home together. I'm going back to the company now to take care of some trash. Take good care of Ling'er, understand?"

After saying that, he hurriedly opened the door and left.

Xu Yi watched Xu Qin come and go in a hurry, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

……

Meanwhile, downstairs in the apartment building.

A rather understated black Volkswagen sedan slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

The car door opened, and a young man wearing a black stand-up collar Zhongshan suit stepped out.

The man had a neat buzz cut, a resolute face, and looked both old and young.

This person is none other than Bai Que.

His face was clearly quite handsome, but that cold, hard expression ruined it.

He looked up through the car window at the apartment building not far away.

I glanced at my phone again; it was an address message from Bai Ye.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

"This is where that Han Chinese kid lives? Just this old, run-down place."

However, he had just gotten off the bus.

Suddenly, a white-haired old man wearing a faded tank top and flip-flops rushed out from the side.

The old man, as if he didn't care about his life, crashed headfirst into Bai Que's car.

The old man's eyes kept glancing upwards.

Until Bai Que got off the train.

He slid along the ground and precisely grabbed Bai Que's right thigh.

"Ouch! Someone's been hit!"

"You're not getting away!"
