Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

At the moment when Nalan Ye Jue received the news, he took a deep breath, only slowly relaxing after a while.

She’s back.

He must see her first thing!

Even though they had only been apart for a few days, it felt like a century to him.

Leaving everything behind, he drove at breakneck speed back to Xinghe Bay.

But the gates of Xinghe Bay were closed.

If she had returned, how could she not know he was anxious and eager to see her? Was there something going on behind the closed doors?

He pressed the fingerprint lock, and as soon as he entered the yard, he asked, ”Where is the lady?”

The servant was surprised to see him return: ”Young Master, Miss Qin she... oh no, the lady hasn’t been back these days at all. Young Master Qin also took a leave and hasn’t gone to school, he’s searching for her, no one’s home...”

Nalan Ye Jue frowned deeply and immediately called Lu Yi.

Only then did he learn that what Lu Yi referred to as Qin Xin returning meant she had returned to the Nalan Family’s old house.

He was too hasty, not asking clearly.

He assumed that once she returned, she would naturally come back to the home they shared.

Little did he know, she had gone back to the old house.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped out, leaving the servant with an instruction: ”Take good care of Xiao Shuang for the next few days. Assign more bodyguards to protect him.”

His little brother-in-law always stood by his side and was his strong ally, so he also had to watch over the little guy.

He sped off again, heading to the old house.

His driving was so fast that his legs started to tremble.

His knee had just undergone BMP-16 surgery, he was supposed to rest and wait for it to recover, but days of tiring searches and travel had taken a toll on his joint, he wondered if it would affect his walking in the future.

Yet he couldn’t care less, he just wanted to see her first.

The car stopped on the old house’s lawn, his long legs moved quickly, stumbling as he rushed into the hall.

Looking everywhere, he saw no sign of Qin Xin, and that anxiety within him surged up again.

He wanted to see her!

He wanted to see her!

Why was it so difficult to see her?

Lu Yi quickly stepped forward: ”Young Master, Miss Qin is upstairs...”

Nalan Ye Jue didn’t wait for him to finish, striding swiftly towards the stairs.

Lu Yi jogged to catch up, not expecting that, despite Nalan Ye Jue’s leg condition, he was still much faster, leaving Lu Yi panting, only catching up when they reached the entrance of Nalan Ye Jue’s bedroom: ”Young Master, wait, let me finish, Miss Qin is sleeping...”

Nalan Ye Jue paused.

He initially wanted to push the door open and hold the little woman tightly and kiss her fiercely, but now he softened his movements, placing a hand on the doorknob, pausing, then turning to ask Lu Yi: ”Where did you find her?”

Lu Yi: ”This noon, Miss Qin came back on her own, she collapsed at the old house’s door, the butler found her when opening the door. We called you out of concern that she might be injured, then hurried to get the maids to help her in, and the family doctor did a preliminary examination, nothing serious was found, just some small bruises and frostbite...”

”She’s injured? How did she get frostbite? Is it serious?”

Nalan Ye Jue gripped Lu Yi’s arm with such force that it almost felt like he was about to break it.

In that moment, Lu Yi felt deeply that Miss Qin was indeed Young Master’s heart, absolutely irreplaceable!

”Young Master, please calm down, calm down, listen to me. Miss Qin’s injuries are not serious, she just sleeps a lot, the family doctor didn’t want to disturb her, saying she should rest well and regain strength for further examination. She’s already been bandaged and applied with ointment earlier. Rest assured...”
