The only thing that didn't improve was its defense, since it was just a change of spine; its skin and muscles were still fair and tender, and would turn red if pinched hard.

Lu Meng's modified subcutaneous armor significantly enhances his defense, making it no longer a joke to catch handgun bullets with his skin. Qin Huanyu has also recorded the relevant technology using her Mathematical Magic Eye. However, Qin Huanyu has no intention of undergoing such a modification, as it would harden her skin, which is unforgivable for a woman who values ​​beauty; no amount of strength would help.

In short, Qin Huanyu is currently in good health and has plenty of free time.

Since the basement renovation plan for the villa hadn't started yet, and she couldn't conduct her research at home for the time being, Qin Huanyu decided to think of other ways to have some fun.

Playing alone is no fun; it's best to have someone to play with.

Although there are quite a few people in the villa now, Bai Ling is always clinging to Ling Lan, and Duanmu Ling also has many admirers, so Qin Huanyu has to stay single most of the time.

Since the house was big enough, Qin Huanyu decided to invite some more friends.

Several of Qin Huanyu's colleagues at the Baiguang City Police Department had a good relationship with her and were considered her followers.

However, Qin Huanyu is currently nominally recuperating from her injuries, and letting her followers know that she is actually quite active would affect her image as the boss, so the police station passed on the idea.

Lingsu Research Institute is where Qin Huanyu grew up, and everyone there has been very kind to her. However, they are mostly her elders or older siblings, and it is not appropriate to invite them to her home as friends.

After much thought, it seems there's only one person I could most like to invite over for a visit right now.

So Qin Huanyu took out her phone, found the contact information of a certain young lady from the capital, edited a message, and clicked send:

[Are you busy at the museum lately, Youyou? If you're not too busy, how about coming to White Light City for a few days and hanging out with me? I just bought a new house, it's quite big, so I can just sleep in it when I'm tired.]

【? ? ? ? 】

Yi Youyou replied to the message almost instantly:

[Ayu, you bought a house? You need to buy a house? Haven't you always lived in the research institute? The police station also arranged an apartment for you, right? Why do you need to buy a house? What for? To keep a mistress hidden away?]

[Yes, that's right.jpg]

Qin Huanyu first replied with an OK emoji, then continued typing:

【I really did plan to keep a mistress in a gilded cage, and now I have the cage, all I need is the mistress... So, Youyou, are you coming to play?】

Chapter 112 Is Ayu destined to win?

The office of the administrator at the Shen Du Museum.

A sophisticated urban woman, dressed in a shirt, pencil skirt, stockings, and high heels, sat pretentiously at her desk, secretly playing with her phone hidden in a compartment of her work documents, poking and swiping with her middle and ring fingers, and even laughing out loud as she played.

This scene was witnessed by the secretary who pushed open the door carrying another document. The secretary frowned slightly in exasperation.

"You've been slacking off during work hours again, Miss! These documents all require your personal review and approval, and they're due tomorrow. You're running out of time."

"You've come at the perfect time, Xiaoye."

Yi Youyou showed no embarrassment at being caught slacking off. Instead, she confidently stuffed her own document into Hattori Sayo's arms and said with a grin:

"You're the one who's running out of time... I'm going to White Light City for a while, so I'll be leaving all the work to you these next few days."

"Miss is going to Baiguang City? Why?"

Hattori Saya frowned deeply.

"Ayu bought a new house and invited me to come over and visit!"

Yi Youyou shrugged indifferently:

"I've had a lot of work these past few days, so now I have an excuse to slack off."

Hattori Saya: "..."

"Listen to what you're saying, miss? Is that even human language?"

After a few seconds of speechless silence, Hattori Sayo finally glared at him and retorted:

"I'm happy to help you with your work, it's my duty and honor, but aren't you going a bit too far?"

"The capable should do more, right? You're the best, Xiaoye! So this is your responsibility now!"

Yi Youyou remained unmoved:

"What's that saying again? 'When there's work to be done, the secretary does it!' Xiaoye, as my secretary, it's only right that you do all the work for me so I have time to go out and have fun, isn't it?"

"But there's a second half to that sentence! 'A secretary with nothing better to do!' Miss, if you could also make me work 24/7, no days off, wouldn't that be a problem?"

Hattori Sayo blushed slightly as she roared inwardly, but dared not say a word. She could only grab Yi Youyou's arm to stop her from leaving.

"No! Miss, you can't go to Baiguang City! If you keep slacking off like this, I'll tell the head of the family and have her tutor you!"

"If you're just going to have fun, that's fine, but going to hang out with that woman surnamed Qin is absolutely out of the question! She's too dangerous, she's practically a vixen!"

This is what Hattori Sayo was thinking.

"Grandma... Oh, right, Grandma's task!"

Unexpectedly, these words seemed to remind Yi Youyou, making her eyes light up and prompting her to think of an even more plausible reason:

"Now I really have no choice but to go to Baiguang City... Do you remember the Pure Love God of War case? Although I successfully stopped Ayu from taking those superhuman corpses back for research, Ayu seemed to have discovered something during the battle with the bizarre. Not long after she returned, the Lingsu Research Institute proposed a rather bold research and development plan and applied for a lot of resources from above."

"Grandma seems quite worried about that audacious research project. A few days ago, she assigned me a long-term task: to find out about the progress of that research project through Ayu and to delay the research as much as possible... Well, that's why I went to Baiguang City this time to complete the task Grandma assigned me! That's it!"

"The patriarch's mission..."

Hattori Sayo was extremely unwilling. If this was truly Yi Qiushui's mission, then she really had no right to stop it and had to fully cooperate. However, she really didn't want Yi Youyou to go play with Qin Huanyu, so she struggled a little more at the last minute:

"As for inquiring about research progress, Miss, wouldn't it be enough to just ask him a few questions on your phone every day? Is it really necessary to go to Baiguang City in person?"

"Of course it's necessary, absolutely necessary!"

Yi Youyou, on the other hand, was even more self-righteous:

"That research project is a top-level state secret. How can I ask about it on my phone? What if some hackers intercept the information? Of course, it's safest to have Ayu say it herself! Besides, Ayu just invited me to hang out, so I can spend more time with her. If she's engrossed in having fun, she won't have the mind to do those dangerous researches. Isn't that great? You've heard the saying, Xiaoye, 'Diligence leads to mastery, while idleness leads to ruin; action leads to thought, while laziness leads to destruction,' right? I'm going to let Ayu have fun and be lazy."

"……I see."

Hattori Sayo was completely speechless, and could only bite her lip resentfully:

"Then you should go to Baiguang City, Miss. I will help you with the work at the museum... Please be sure to protect yourself there, and don't let people take advantage of you."

"Don't worry~~ Don't worry~~"

Yi Youyou waved her hand, then cheerfully took out her phone and started buying the nearest flight:

"That idiot Ayu, how could she possibly take advantage of me? It's always me taking advantage of her."

'This won't work either!'

Hattori Sayo became even more worried.

. . . . .

"Ayu! I'm here to play, open the door!"

Yi Youyou acted swiftly. She had only received Qin Huanyu's invitation that morning, and by the afternoon she was already standing at the gate of Qin Huanyu's new villa, pulling her suitcase and ringing the doorbell.

"Here it comes, here it comes~~"

Qin Huanyu opened the villa's gate with a remote control and stood in front of the porch to greet them. Of course, she wouldn't wear a police uniform at home. She wore a tight-fitting lace chiffon camisole that covered her body, a cropped style, and a mini skirt with a one-sided slit up to her waist. Underneath the skirt were her favorite black stockings, and on her feet were a pair of cat-head slippers.

"How is it? My new house is pretty good, isn't it?"

With great gentlemanly manners, Qin Huanyu took the suitcase and helped Yi Youyou pull it. Instead of immediately taking her into the villa, he first took her for a quick look around the yard.

"Hmm...it's alright."

Yi Youyou thought for a moment, then chuckled:

"If this house were in the city center of the capital, it would definitely be a luxury mansion worth hundreds of millions. That's the advantage of small cities, houses are cheaper... It makes me want to buy a house too, but unfortunately the housing prices in the capital are a bit outrageous right now."

"Youyou, do you still need to buy a house?"

Qin Huanyu tilted her head, somewhat curious, and asked as she led Yi Youyou into the villa:

"If I remember correctly, your Yi family is an old noble family that has existed since the founding of the country, right? You should have a large mansion that was bestowed upon you by the royal family, right?"

"Yes, there is indeed such a mansion, but..."

Yi Youyou shrugged helplessly.

“That’s a very old building. There’s no water, no electricity, and no internet inside, so it’s impossible to live in. I thought about renovating it, but the cultural relics protection department stopped me. They said that all the old furniture in my family’s old house is antique and can’t be dismantled or thrown away. In the end, my grandma simply rented that big house to the tourism bureau for a long time. Now the tourism bureau has turned it into a tourist attraction called Yi Family Courtyard. Ayu, when you go to Shenzhen, I can take you there.”

"Your old family house has become a tourist attraction... Is this what the old aristocracy of the capital city is like? Youyou, you would have been a noble lady a hundred years ago. Should a commoner like me bow and greet you?"

As Qin Huanyu spoke, she naturally took Yi Youyou's hand and gently kissed the back of it:

"Welcome to my home, beautiful lady~~"

"Is this the proper etiquette for a commoner's daughter? This is the kind of womanizing maneuvering a son of an official should be!"

Yi Youyou withdrew her hand, glared at Qin Huanyu with annoyance, and then looked at the three rooms on the first floor of the villa in turn:

"Are all the guest rooms on the first floor? I want to stay in the one on the south side; I like to sunbathe."

"Well... the guest rooms on the first floor are probably not full, Youyou."

Qin Huanyu looked somewhat troubled, then picked up Yi Youyou's suitcase and headed up to the second floor of the villa.

“We still have three guests at home. They’ve taken up all the guest rooms on the first floor, so Youyou, you’ll have to stay with me on the second floor.”

"The second floor it is then."

Yi Youyou didn't mind and went upstairs with them.

However, after arriving at the room arranged by Qin Huanyu, Yi Youyou became restless again. She pointed at the plush teddy bear and the pink princess bed in the room, utterly speechless:

"Are you sure you want me to stay here? Am I still a little girl?"

"Youyou is mature and beautiful; of course, she's no longer a little girl."

Qin Huanyu quickly praised Yi Youyou, then explained somewhat helplessly:

"But there's nothing I can do... Didn't I tell Youyou online before? I bought a show flat of this villa; the developer has already finished decorating it. There are only 5 rooms in total. The 3 guest rooms on the first floor are all occupied now, and the second floor is the master bedroom and this children's room."

As she spoke, Qin Huanyu deliberately gave Yi Youyou a sly look, scrutinizing her from head to toe, and chuckled as she said:

"If Youyou really doesn't want to stay in this children's room, then she can stay in the master bedroom with me? Anyway, the bed in the master bedroom is quite big, we can both sleep together, and even roll around... ouch!"

"Who wants to sleep with you! You idiot, Ayu! You're shameless!"

Yi Youyou stomped on Qin Huanyu's foot with her high heels in an annoyed manner, then sat down on the edge of the pink princess bed and hugged the large plush teddy bear.

"Fine, a children's room it is... As long as I pretend to be 10 years younger, this room will still be cute."

"Haha... I'll have to make do with this place a little, Youyou. I couldn't help it, I bought this house in a bit too much of a rush, mainly to accommodate a distinguished guest. After the guest leaves, I'll take some time to renovate this place, so there won't be a children's room next time you come to stay."

Qin Huanyu smiled.

"Actually, it's okay to keep the children's room, right?"

Yi Youyou answered like this, and seeing Qin Huanyu's eyes instantly turn strange, she quickly waved her hands and explained coquettishly:

"Ayu, don't think nonsense! It's not that I'm childish, but you'll have children sooner or later, right? Ayu, you're obviously a virgin, so you can't have children with a man. And whether women use secret techniques or biotechnology to conceive, they can only have girls. Isn't this little princess-style children's room perfect?"

"Hmm...that makes some sense? Okay, I'll listen to Youyou then."

Qin Huanyu didn't really care about the room's decorating style. Even if she renovated the villa, she would focus on turning the basement into her workspace. She didn't care whether the above-ground parts were changed or not, since the villa's original decoration was actually quite nice.

Yi Youyou was sitting on the edge of the bed, and when Qin Huanyu looked at her, he naturally looked down and saw Yi Youyou's legs and feet.

Yi Youyou had clearly come to relax halfway through her workday, still wearing her work clothes. Her tight skirt and high heels were obviously unsuitable for a vacation, and her sheer stockings, worn all day and worn from traveling, smelled slightly sweaty.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu naturally extended an invitation:

"Would you like to take a shower and change your clothes in my bathroom first? You should have brought some casual clothes with you, right? If not, I can lend you a few pieces, since we're about the same size anyway."

"Hmm... I don't think I actually brought any casual clothes with me."

Yi Youyou stuck out her tongue:

"Ayu, you have no idea, the museum has been incredibly busy these past two days. I finally managed to find an excuse to let Xiaoye go out and have some fun. Of course, the sooner the better, because it would be really bad if Xiaoye went to Grandma to complain... So I came in a hurry. That's my usual business trip suitcase in my office, and all the clothes inside are underwear, stockings, and work clothes."

"Let's go then, I'll take you to pick out some of my clothes."

Qin Huanyu pulled Yi Youyou to the master bedroom on the second floor, opened the wardrobe in the dressing room, and let Yi Youyou choose whatever she wanted.

When they first met, the two often talked about clothing and fashion, and Yi Youyou quite approved of Qin Huanyu's aesthetic sense in choosing clothes. She stood in front of the wardrobe for a while, then picked out two loungewear-style short dresses and a yoga outfit, intending to wear them on vacation.

"It's okay. I can take you to the mall in the city tomorrow or the day after if I have time. We can buy a few more things you like."

Three outfits to change into are still too few for a girl, so Qin Huanyu extended an invitation to Yi Youyou:

"Although our Baiguang City can't compare to God, and we can't buy the latest styles of big-name luxury brands or those custom-made dresses, we still have no problem picking out some suitable casual wear."

"Okay, then I'll go shopping with you tomorrow, Ayu... You can help me pick something out, right? If you don't pick something nice, I won't let you off the hook."
