My mobile game wife came knocking.

Everything is under control.

Nothing can stop the impending storm.

Qin revealed a smug smile.

but……

A moment later, seeing Ye Ming's cheeks beginning to flush, hearing his breathing gradually become heavier, and feeling his hot breath, Qin, who had been smug and expectant, suddenly felt a little scared.

This medicine seems to turn people into wild beasts.

Isn't he being too rough?

Chapter 143 An Adult's Collapse Can Happen in an Instant

My sister didn't come back.

Barbara lay under the bed and waited for a long time, but she didn't hear the door open and her sister didn't come back.

Qin didn't come back, so her dream from yesterday didn't come true; her sister didn't seduce the man she liked in their bed.

This should have been a good thing, but for some reason, Barbara always felt a vague unease in her heart.

Barbara lay under the dark bed, staring at the pitch-black mattress, and the scene she had seen when she woke up that morning came back to her mind.

Her favorite older sister, Qin, was wearing a white shirt and lace dress, holding two different colored stockings in her hand, looking conflicted and hesitant.

Barbara felt that this was very abnormal.

My sister is the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Mondstadt, the leader who protects Mondstadt. She is devoted to training and hard work. She never panics when faced with unexpected events and is decisive in handling matters. So how could she hesitate over such a trivial matter as what color stockings to wear?

It was precisely because of this that Barbara became suspicious of her favorite sister, and feeling guilty, she secretly hid under the bed. As a result, she has been lying there ever since, and has found nothing.

However, Barbara's doubts and anxieties did not disappear; instead, they intensified.

She began to regret it.

Barbara felt that she shouldn't have been influenced by those unreliable dreams in the first place, foolishly hiding under the bed and waiting. Her best option would have been to secretly follow Qin and see where she went, who she met, and what she did.

But now, it's too late for regrets.

Where is my sister now? Who is she with? What is she doing?

Barbara silently recalled every detail of her time with her sister that morning. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her sister's behavior was somewhat abnormal, and the more uneasy she became.

In the end, she couldn't suppress Zhu's unease, took out her phone, opened WeChat, and tapped on Qin's chat window.

Sister, what are you doing?

Barbara had intended to ask that question, but halfway through typing, she suddenly felt that such an abrupt question would make it seem as if she were doubting her sister. After thinking for a moment, she deleted the question and sent an interesting video instead.

This video is the one she secretly filmed yesterday, showing Hu Tao and Ke Qing fighting.

"Sister, I've got something interesting to show you."

After sending the message, Barbara stared intently at her phone screen, anxiously awaiting a reply.

The dialog box remained silent for a long time.

Barbara waited for almost half an hour, until she was about to lose patience and was about to make a call when Qin finally responded.

"Hmm, this is so interesting."

These five simple words are filled with a strong sense of inattentiveness and perfunctory attitude.

After sending those five words, there was no further response.

Barbara's unease intensified.

Perhaps it was because the scene on the big bed in her dream last night had such a deep impact on her, that when Barbara saw her sister's perfunctory reply, a shameful and terrifying image suddenly appeared in her mind—her favorite sister, Jean, with disheveled hair and a flushed face, was lying face down, biting her lower lip as if enduring something unbearable, staring at her phone with dazed eyes, her trembling fingers struggling to tap the screen, managing to reply with five words, and as soon as she clicked send, her body suddenly trembled, and the phone fell to the ground.

No, impossible! My sister is an upright and noble knight princess, not such a shameless woman!

Barbara shook her head vigorously to shake off the terrible images in her mind, her cheeks flushed red, whether from shyness or the atmosphere, she didn't know.

She forced herself to get rid of these terrible thoughts and to believe her sister, but for some reason, the more she forced herself to forget, the more intense her unease became.

Barbara knew that her sister and she loved the same man. Although she hadn't heard from him for a long time, Barbara, who had lived through the Teyvat era, believed that no other man could ever win her sister's heart. She believed that her sister would never fall in love with someone else.

So, if the suspicion comes true, there is only one possibility.

Thinking of this, Barbara panicked. She hurriedly found Qin's number and dialed Qin's number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."

Hearing that sound from the phone, Barbara's heart sank.

What exactly is my sister doing?

No, I must, I must find my sister immediately!

What should I do to find my sister?

Barbara held her phone, pondered for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.

Since I can't get through to my sister on the phone, I'll ask her secretary.

Find my sister's secretary and ask her whereabouts.

With that in mind, Barbara searched her contacts and dialed the phone number for the president's office at Mond International's China branch.

This time, the call was answered quickly.

"Hello, this is the Chairman's office of Mond International. I am Fu Hua, the Chief Secretary. May I ask who you are and what I can help you with?"

A clear and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.

Fu Hua? I've never heard of that name before. Is she my sister's new secretary?

Barbara was slightly puzzled, but she had no time to pay attention to an insignificant secretary.

"Hello, I'm Barbara, my sister's sister. Do you know where my sister is right now?"

Barbara asked the question directly.

"Barbara?"

On the other end of the phone, Fu Hua heard the name Barbara and, after a moment's thought, immediately recognized her identity. "Are you Ms. Peggy's sister? Hello, Ms. Peggy said she was going to meet a very important client today, and she hasn't been to the company since this morning."

Do you know who your sister's clients are? Do you know where they meet?

Barbara pressed for more questions.

"Miss Pei didn't say, so I don't know either. Is there anything urgent? If so, why don't you just call Miss Pei?"

"I can't get through."

Barbara was annoyed. "Could you please call my sister for me? Please, I have an emergency."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

In the Mond International office, Fu Hua clipped the landline receiver to his neck and used his mobile phone to make a call to Qin.

However, the phone emitted a notification tone indicating that the user's phone had been turned off.

Is your phone out of battery?

Fu Hua frowned slightly and told Barbara the result: "Hello, Ms. Peiqi's phone is currently switched off, and I can't get through to her. However, Ms. Peiqi mentioned when she called me that she would be picking me up at the airport this afternoon. If you have something urgent, you can go to the airport and wait for her."

Barbara, who was already very irritable and anxious, broke down instantly when she heard that she might not see Qin until the afternoon.

"Afternoon!? She might be flirting with my man! By the afternoon, what's the point of me seeing her then!? What identity would I have to present to him? As his lover!? Or as his sister-in-law!?"

Chapter 144 Qin, the Fallen and Immoral Knight Princess

Barbara's words contained a lot of information, and it took Fu Hua a while to understand what she meant.

Does Miss Peggy's sister have some kind of mental problem?

"..."

Fu Hua remained silent for a long while, her expression complex, before finally speaking to comfort her: "Hello, Barbara, don't worry. I think Miss Peggy is an upright and kind person, not the kind of shameless woman who would steal someone else's man, let alone her own sister's."

Not every woman is as shameless as Ke Qing.

Fu Hua muttered a complaint to herself.

With her extensive experience accumulated over the years, Fu Hua has a keen eye for people. She doesn't believe that Miss Peiqi would do something as shameless as stealing someone else's man.

"Barbara, you're Miss Paige's sister. You've known Miss Paige for so long, don't you know what kind of person she is?"

As she said this, Fu Hua changed the subject: "However, this is ultimately a matter between you sisters. I am just an outsider who doesn't know the inside story, so I can't say anything. You sisters should resolve your own issues. But, in any case, Miss Barbara, it's always good to stay calm."

"Calm down!? If she were flirting with your man, could you stay calm!?"

Barbara retorted somewhat agitatedly to Fu Hua, but even in her emotional state, Barbara quickly realized her lapse in composure, "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood, I didn't mean anything by it."

As she said this, Barbara took a deep breath, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and say something hurtful again, so she could only hang up the phone directly.

In the office, Fu Hua heard the busy tone on the other end of the line and remembered the joke she had made with Miss Peiqi before, and smiled slightly.

How could Miss Peggy, such a kind and upright girl, stoop so low as to do something as shameless as seducing other people's men?

Only a woman like Ke Qing could do something like this.

Thinking of Ke Qing, Fu Hua then thought of Ye Ming.

I don't know if his dance studies are going well.

After thinking for a while, Fu Hua finally couldn't suppress her longing for her lover and took advantage of the pause to call Ye Ming.

However, no one answered the phone.

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Ye Ming had borrowed her phone last night. According to Ye Ming, he had left his phone with a friend.

As for which friend it was, Ye Ming didn't say. Fu Hua had a vague guess, but didn't ask anything.

Since the phone call didn't go through, Fu Hua temporarily gave up the idea of ​​talking to Ye Ming and buried herself back in her work at the table.

I hope Yezi's studies go smoothly.

"Barbara, what are you doing hiding under the bed?"

Barbara had just hung up the phone when a familiar voice came from beside her.
