Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

”Master Tuantuan, sorry for the offense!”

The last slash almost grazed the man’s face, ripping his mask, and Qin Xin finally freed herself from the ropes.

But in her haste to break free, she forgot that the carriage’s rear seat wasn’t a bed. As she kicked backward, her entire body rolled downwards.

Seeing her head about to hit the floor—

Nalan Ye Jue swiftly moved, his long arm scooping her back into his embrace.

A fragrant embrace.

He finally had a legitimate excuse to hold her.

”You, you’re awake?” Qin Xin’s face reddened, momentarily stunned, then realized, ”You woke up earlier? You’ve been awake all along, so why didn’t you cut the ropes? What were you doing?!”

She had thought herself a hero rescuing a beauty.

The first to cut the ropes and save her mentor.

Who knew her mentor had already undone the time powers yet still lay there doing nothing!

The man remained composed and calmly said, ”No, I also just woke up.”

Unfazed and nonchalant, he focused solely on the pleasant scent of her hair.

Qin Xin lifted the curtain: ”I have a class to attend!”

The man held her slender waist, stepping off the carriage with her: ”You can skip the afternoon class.”

Qin Xin pouted: ”I don’t want your favor.”

Humph, unless you explain clearly why you pretended not to know me, I won’t accept your favor.

The two of them bantered back and forth, unaware that as they got off the carriage, a group of classmates had already gathered in a circle opposite them.

”Great Tutor, why are you holding Sister Xin as you get off the carriage?”

”Didn’t you say Sister Xin skipped class? Are you skipping too?”

”Tutor, you’re not taking Sister Xin to the detention room, are you? Please don’t!”

”Tutor, your hand is not in the right place...”

Everyone chattered, staring at Nalan Ye Jue and Qin Xin walking intimately off the carriage.

Their attention focused on the unusual relationship between the two.

Only Jing Chen was stunned, frozen like a wooden chicken.

Others might not recognize it, but he did. That carriage was unique to his family.

Miss Lan and another man had just returned from his house.

No wonder earlier his uncle specifically called, asking him to take classmates to meet Miss Lan at the school gate.

He had been filled with anticipation, thinking his uncle was giving him an opportunity to impress Qin Xin.

But it turned out his uncle wanted him to witness Qin Xin with another man firsthand.

Uncle, why are you being so cruel?

Not only did you forbid me from gathering information about the Blood Woman for Miss Lan, but you also shattered my little fantasy about her.

Am I not even allowed to imagine?

His heart ached like a knife, watching Qin Xin and Nalan Ye Jue banter, yet their inseparable atmosphere was truly enviable.

Suppressing his emotions again and again, he finally held back the bitterness and slowly walked forward: ”Miss Lan, are you okay? Ao Xinghao and the others went to look for you, thinking you were taken by Young Master Hai. They’re confronting people at the brothel and haven’t returned yet...”

As expected.

Qin Xin stopped questioning Master Tuantuan upon learning Ao Xinghao and the others had gone to the wrong place.

”When did they leave?”

Jing Zhichen: ”About an hour ago.”

Qin Xin frowned: ”Young Master Hai’s place is chaotic. What are those fools doing there?”

She quickly dialed a number to track the three fools’ whereabouts.

Nalan Ye Jue was left neglected on the side, giving Jing Zhichen a faint glare: You little brat, you’re good at changing the subject.

However, all your distractions are useless. She is mine.

Jing Zhichen felt a chilly gaze shoot towards him, making him involuntarily shiver violently!
