Chapter 22: Fulfilling Duties
Chapter 22: Fulfilling Duties
After a long day of running around, Song Miqiu was really tired.
The main concern was dealing with the government officials, and Song Miqiu was actually quite apprehensive about it.
She knew that this was no longer the law-abiding society she was familiar with; these government officials were now in charge!
And these powerless common people, even if they were beaten to death on the spot, had nowhere to seek justice.
Even though she possessed the mall system, Song Miqiu was well aware that it was not her bargaining chip.
The future needs to be planned in the long term. The only thing she can do now is to try her best to improve the lives of Huai Lin's family while remaining hidden from view.
Only when we have leverage can we compete with those people.
Knowing that he had other secrets, Song Miqiu could not relax even more.
This body has been living with this human skin mask for three whole years. She doesn't know if she has given up or what, but just in case, she must be fully prepared!
Song Miqiu was alone in the room, lost in thought, yet she felt that nothing was clear.
However, just as she was feeling upset, there was a sudden knock on the door.
At this time, Ms. Tian should already be putting the two children to sleep, and Qiu Tianlei would certainly not be disturbing her rest at this time.
Then it becomes clear who the person who came is.
"Come in."
The door opened, and sure enough, it was Yu Huailin.
Song Miqiu was very curious: it was already dark, so why was he in his room?
Yu Huailin seemed oblivious to the woman's questioning gaze as he walked in, without even closing the door behind him.
Song Miqiu immediately became alert.
Could it be that this person has finally decided to kill him to silence him?
Was it because they were driven to desperation by those government officials?
But I only saved him out of kindness! And those official robes I made led to his son's arrest, yet I didn't reveal his whereabouts. He shouldn't have had any motive to kill me.
Looking at the woman's wary expression, Yu Huailin knew she must be imagining things.
Why did I never know that this woman had such abilities?
Yu Huailin found it amusing, but as soon as he thought of something, his expression returned to normal.
"What are you doing! Just say what you want to say, don't come any closer!"
Yu Huailin seemed startled, trembling as he stopped, but then, as if he had made up his mind, he took a few more steps forward.
Song Miqiu felt like she was going crazy!
What exactly is this man trying to do?!
If you're going to kill me or torture me, can't you just give me a quick death?
Does he really not know that scaring someone can be deadly?
He looks really scary! Even though he knows that this man usually puts on an act in front of Qiu Tianlei, they've already laid their cards on the table, so why is he acting like this in front of him?
Do you have a split personality?
In those few short steps, Yu Huailin had no idea how much the woman on the bed had imagined.
If he knew what Song Miqiu was thinking at that moment, he would definitely grab her by the neck on the spot and tell her that he didn't mean it that way.
However, the space in the room was limited, and Yu Huailin eventually walked to the bedside, looking at Song Miqiu with a nervous expression.
Song Miqiu instinctively hugged herself tightly, a move that almost made Yu Huailin unable to continue acting.
Fortunately, what he is most proud of is his self-control.
“I…I am the servant you bought, so it is my duty to serve you. I have come here today to fulfill my obligation.”
Song Miqiu is going crazy!
Brother!
Can't we just talk this out? Why do you have to be so scary? If I did something wrong, just tell me directly, please don't do this!
"I……"
Just as Song Miqiu was about to say something, Yu Huailin suddenly leaned closer.
This was the first time Song Miqiu had been so close to him, and upon closer inspection, he seemed even more stunning than the fleeting glimpses she usually caught.
Why are some men so good-looking?
She was more beautiful than anyone she had ever seen!
No! Now is not the time to think about these things!
"What exactly do you want..."
"Don't speak."
Yu Huailin leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Song Miqiu then realized that something was wrong.
Although Yu Huailin's identity is indeed mysterious and his behavior is unpredictable, there is absolutely no need for him to humiliate himself like this.
There must be some other reason why he came!
Otherwise, how could a man be willing to say that he is the husband of someone who is about to die?
Yu Huailin watched as she calmed down, then slightly increased the distance between them, and his expression returned to what it had been before.
Song Miqiu felt that if things continued like this, she would definitely develop a split personality.
So this time she took the initiative to approach Yu Huailin, "Could you please stop looking at me like that? It really makes me feel guilty!"
A fleeting smile crossed Yu Huailin's eyes. "Why do you feel guilty? Do you really intend to do something to me?"
Song Miqiu's face immediately turned red. Now she knew that this person had done it on purpose!
"Alright, stop joking with me. If you keep teasing me like this, I'm really going to get angry!"
These non-threatening words had little effect on Huailin.
From the outside, it looked as if the two of them were whispering sweet nothings to each other, which was really embarrassing.
But only the two of them knew that there was absolutely nothing between them.
Yu Huailin didn't dare to offend her, after all, she was just a teenage girl who hadn't married yet, so she couldn't take the joke too far.
She increased the distance between them so that he could see her lip movements.
"Walls have ears."
Song Miqiu was very clever, and since Yu Huailin also spoke very slowly, he immediately understood what he meant.
No wonder, someone must have been watching them in the dark.
It seems his whereabouts were leaked. He was putting on an act for those people, partly for his own safety, and partly because he didn't want to implicate them.
It wasn't that Song Miqiu was narcissistic, but rather that she felt Yu Huailin wouldn't be such an irresponsible person.
Since it was also for her own safety, Song Miqiu would naturally cooperate fully in the act!
It's just flirting with men!
It's no big deal!
Yu Huailin was at a loss for what to do when he saw her clumsy acting.
He was now absolutely convinced that this woman was a virgin.
After all, have you ever seen anyone blush bright red while flirting with someone?
However, it's enough to deceive those outside.
Seeing that Yu Huailin's face had returned to its usual coldness, Song Miqiu knew that the people outside must have already left.
"What exactly happened? Who are those people?"
After asking the question, Song Miqiu felt something was amiss.
"I'm sorry, I'm not trying to pry into your secrets. If it's inconvenient for you to talk about it, then that's fine."
