Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

The servant wasn’t around, so Mrs. Qin hurriedly ran to open the door herself.

As soon as she opened the door and saw who the visitor was, she paused for a moment.

How... is it you?

＝＝

”Buzz—Buzz—”

Qin Xin’s phone was vibrating incessantly on the table.

Nalan Ye Jue glanced at the table, then at the bathroom door that was tightly shut.

The young lady was taking a bath, and, being a phone-addicted girl who always had her phone with her, she had left it on the table this time.

It was already the third vibration.

He wasn’t sure who was looking for her, but it seemed urgent.

Nalan Ye Jue held back three times, resisting the urge to touch her phone.

After all, he was a gentleman and didn’t want to casually invade someone else’s privacy.

But when the phone buzzed for the fourth time, he closed his eyes, reached out—

He wasn’t intending to pry into her secrets, it was just that, in case there was something urgent, he didn’t want her to miss any important information.

He convinced himself of this.

His expression was serious, utterly sincere.

Yet a scene flashed through his mind—if the call on the line was a man asking where Qin Xin was and what she was doing.

Should he adhere to the principle of honesty and report truthfully: ”She’s taking a bath, I’ll let her know.”

Yes, being a bit more honest is the right approach.

With this thought, Nalan Ye Jue picked up Qin Xin’s phone, which was facedown on the table.

This was his first time getting so close to Qin Xin’s phone.

Because of the thick, cute phone case, it was hard to see the brand and model, but its outline looked a lot like an antique model once produced by their Nalan Group.

He would need to see the operating system interface to be sure...

The young lady was so nostalgic, using an antique phone from their group?

This antique phone was actually very expensive; despite looking simple, its system was extremely secure and was no longer in production. It’s simply not available on the market, only very discerning friends would ask him to find one...

And he didn’t have many left in stock.

The most recent one he gave out was to...

A thought flashed through Nalan Ye Jue’s mind, but it quickly disappeared.

Because his attention was captured by the image on the phone screen.

The vibration just now was actually not a call.

It was the alert tone of a software.

At this moment, the dark lock screen was showing a deep star slowly moving across the screen, and the alert sound was coming from the star’s position.

”Is this... the map of tracking software?”

Although he had never seen this kind of tracking software before, with a slight ponder, Nalan Ye Jue guessed the meaning of the image.

The star represented a person.

When this person approached a certain area, the software would emit an alert sound, reminding the owner to check.

This tracking software was very user-friendly, saving the owner a lot of time and sparing them from watching the monitor screen all day.

As an expert in the field of smart technology, even Nalan Ye Jue had to admire the person who designed this program.

Because the simplest designs are the best designs.

But, what concerned him more was, who was the young lady tracking?

By just unlocking the phone, cracking her password, and entering the system to check the program’s settings, he could uncover this secret.

But in the end, Nalan Ye Jue stopped his hand.

He placed Qin Xin’s phone back on the table, facedown as it originally was.

The young lady had too many secrets, and he was willing to respect her by keeping them.

A gentleman knows what to do and what not to do.

Ten minutes later.

Qin Xin came out after her bath.

Seeing the phone facedown on the table, she opened her mouth, thinking to herself that she was really muddled today, leaving her phone outside.

When did she start feeling so relaxed in Mr. Nalan’s home that she didn’t have any alertness at all?
