Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Xinghe Bay.

Lu Yi is washing the car in the villa garden parking lot.

In the morning, Nalan Ye Jue was taken to the company by another car driven by the driver. The modified car he often uses needs further cleaning after refueling and maintenance, especially since it traveled on mountain roads yesterday.

Thinking that Nalan Ye Jue will need the car soon, Lu Yi quickens his actions, diligently polishing the headlights.

Just then, the phone vibrates once, then again.

He stops to check, surprised to see a message from Nalan Ye Jue.

Messages from Young Master are extremely rare.

He hurriedly stops what he’s doing and carefully reads the message.

”What does ’sister complex’ mean?”

”Is this explanation correct?”

Two sentences, accompanied by a screenshot.

It’s a definition from a search encyclopedia: ”’Sister complex’ refers to men who have an affection toward their sisters.”

Lu Yi is baffled by Nalan Ye Jue’s three-hit combo.

Why is Young Master asking about ’sister complex’ so early in the morning?

Could it be... Young Master finally remembered the Little Miss and started to feel concerned for her?

Unable to resist, he decisively replies with ”Yes, Young Master,” then opens the WeChat group ”Seven Calabash Brothers” to vent:

”Brothers, today Young Master is turning his attention to the Little Miss, ah ah ah. He’s researching ’sister complex’ and about liking the Little Miss first thing in the morning. Could this be the Little Miss’s springtime?”

He thought this bombshell news would shake the brothers in the group.

Who knew.

A few guys responded calmly and slowly—

Lu Ding: ”Brother Yi, Young Master was already concerned about the Little Miss yesterday afternoon. He asked me to restore the setup of ward 0 to exactly how it was more than ten years ago.”

Lu Jia: ”Young Master also inquired what young college students nowadays like to eat, drink, and play.”

Lu Wu: ”Young Master instructed me to enhance protection for the Little Miss starting today, setting up safety checkpoints both on campus and on her way home.”

Lu Yi was taken aback.

What?

So it started yesterday? Right, Young Master visited ward 0 yesterday, which is the ward where Young Master stayed with the Little Miss in childhood. Is Young Master reminiscing about sweet childhood memories?

Oh my, that’s so sweet.

Just as he’s feeling emotional.

Lu Bing suddenly chimes in with a line saying, ”Yi Yi, don’t forget our previous wager. Lately, Miss Qin should be becoming less and less noticeable, right? Young Master is focusing on the Little Miss. So my prediction is coming true, Young Master and Miss Qin’s brief union is nearing its end. — They’re not far from divorce!”

Lu Yi was struck dumb.

The wager.

Indeed, he bet on Young Master and Miss Qin’s eternal happiness.

If Young Master and the Little Miss get together, he’d lose badly.

What to do, even though he’s worried about the Little Miss losing favor, it seems he’s more worried about Miss Qin being unhappy now.

He depressingly glances again at the ”sister complex” message, pondering whether there’s still time to withdraw it and tell Young Master that ’sister complex’ is unacceptable, it’s immoral!

While Lu Yi is worried and distressed.

A calm voice calls from behind: ”Secretary Lu, could you please take me out to handle some matters?”

Lu Yi jolts to attention: ”Miss Qin, as you wish.”

Qin Xin walks gracefully over: ”I need to perform a minor surgery on a patient; it should take around two hours. Let’s go and return quickly.”

Lu Yi: ”Yes!”

On the way to Imperial Hospital, Lu Yi can’t help but secretly glance at Qin Xin in the back seat through the rearview mirror, sighing quietly.

Young Master and Miss Qin were doing perfectly fine, why after visiting the countryside to recuperate, did he return fixated on Lan Qingxin?

Why has he had a change of heart?
