Found You, Fierce One!

"Nothing~ Why did you come out?"

Lin Ao calmly put away his phone.

"Mom and Dad finished eating and said they were heading back first. What about you, Young Master Lin~? Got anything else planned?"

Gu Wanqing lightly poked Lin Ao in the chest with her little hand. Her flirtatious tone was too much for him to handle.

He'd still been hoping to stay at the restaurant and see who Fierce One was.

"Me~? What would I have planned~? I'm going home to sleep~"

Gu Wanqing rolled her eyes at Lin Ao.

"How boring. Then I'll take you home."

Lin Ao quickly refused.

"No need~ We're going different ways. I've already called Uncle Zhang to pick me up~ You go on ahead!"

Gu Wanqing didn't suspect anything. Lin Ao had been acting this way toward her lately.

While Lin Ao wasn't paying attention, she slipped both hands behind his head and pulled him down, pressing her soft lips against his.

"Mmph!~ Mmmph mmmph~"

Lin Ao felt so aggrieved. He'd been ambushed again.

"That's your reward for today~ Remember to think of me when you get home, and reply to my messages~ There'll be other rewards too~"

This time, Gu Wanqing let go of Lin Ao almost immediately~ She lifted a finger to her chest and made a downward motion.

Lin Ao shivered, and his breathing grew heavier.

"Hehehehe~ Well, I'll be off~"

Gu Wanqing glanced at his status bar and let out a laugh as clear as tinkling bells.

As soon as Gu Wanqing left, Lin Ao pulled out his phone.

"Fierce One, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

"Ding--!"

Qin Yun's phone rang while she was having dinner with Xia Qiange.

She opened it and saw that Lin Ao had messaged her.

A faint smile crossed her face~ Awooo was really clingy.

Fierce One: "Nothing special, just ordinary dishes~ I ordered some hot soup. It'll make me feel a lot better~"

Awooo: "I was worried you'd eat something weird~ Looks like you're being good~"

Fierce One: "Of course. I don't have anyone here to look after me~ Boohoohoo"

Xia Qiange grew curious. Why was Qin Yun grinning foolishly at her phone?

She leaned over to sneak a peek, but wary Qin Yun pushed her back.

"What~~~? What little secret can't you share?"

The more Qin Yun acted like that, the more curious Xia Qiange became.

"All right~ I'll tell you later~ Let me keep it a secret for now!~"

Qin Yun wore a mysterious look and wouldn't let Xia Qiange see, no matter what.

"Judging by how you're acting, you haven't fallen in love, have you? You're just going to leave me behind like this?"

Xia Qiange couldn't believe it. Qin Yun had always kept those guys at arm's length. How had she suddenly started dating someone?

"Oh, come on~ No, not yet!"

Qin Yun blurted it out, realized she'd let something slip, and immediately covered her mouth.

"Oho~~~~~ So I guessed right! Who is he? Which scumbag is it?"

Xia Qiange pressed her with questions. She wanted to know which scumbag had made Qin Yun's heart flutter.

"Ahem~ You'll find out later! I can't tell you now!"

Qin Yun was too embarrassed to admit she was in an online romance. She didn't know who he was, and he didn't know who she was.

"Eat your food. You'll definitely find out later!"

Qin Yun pressed Xia Qiange back down at the table, then went off to reply to Lin Ao's messages!

Awooo: "Fierce One, what do you usually like to wear? I'd like to buy you a gift sometime!"

Qin Yun tucked back a loose strand of hair and smiled with pursed lips.

Fierce One: "Me~ Take a guess?"

Lin Ao thought about it. She liked gardening~ and calligraphy and painting. She was a very artsy girl~ Could she be the qipao type? Or perhaps hanfu?

Awooo: "A qipao or hanfu?"

Qin Yun's eyes lit up. He'd actually guessed right~

Fierce One: "I can't believe you guessed it~ I like qipaos~ I like hanfu too~"

Awooo: "Ah~ I'd love to see you in one~ What color qipao are you wearing today?"

Fierce One: "I'm wearing a moon-white one today. It's one of my favorites~"

Lin Ao clenched his fist~ Yes~ He'd finally gotten it out of her!

Not many women wore qipaos to begin with, and now he knew what color she was wearing. She'd be easy to spot in a moment.

"Uncle Zhang, drive over and wait downstairs! Oh, and buy me a pair of binoculars. Hurry!"

Lin Ao told Uncle Zhang to bring the car around. He was going to lie in wait inside it and take a look at this Fierce One~

Awooo: "I really want to see too~ I bet you look amazing~ I hardly ever see women wearing qipaos~"

Qin Yun covered her mouth and laughed. I'm not going to let you see me that easily~

Fierce One: "I'm having dinner with my best friend right now~ It's not convenient, boohoohoo"

Awooo: "Then next time~ Smooches~"

Fierce One: "Smooches~"

Qin Yun loved chatting like this. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but it put her at ease. Talking to Lin Ao made her feel liberated, like she could be her truest self.

"Tch~ You're grinning to yourself over there! What's the point of having a best friend who won't share anything?"

Xia Qiange glared at Qin Yun with a wounded look and took a fierce bite out of the chicken leg in her hand!

Qin Yun put away her phone and returned to the table.

"All right~ You'll find out soon~ I'm finally feeling a lot better~ Let's eat~ Then we'll head home! Thanks, gorgeous Xia!"

Xia Qiange gave Qin Yun an exasperated roll of her eyes, leaving her itching with curiosity.

Lin Ao sat in the car, keeping the binoculars trained on every woman who came out of Hongfu Restaurant.

Uncle Zhang couldn't help wondering what his young master was doing.

This was starting to look a little perverted.

A full half hour passed before Qin Yun and Xia Qiange finally came out of the restaurant.

Qin Yun and Xia Qiange hugged outside the restaurant, then got into their respective drivers' cars and headed home.

Lin Ao, still sitting in the car, no longer looked calm.

The binoculars had fallen onto the seat.

His face was full of disbelief.

"What the hell... She's Qin Yun????"

"What????"

"Young Master, what's..."

Uncle Zhang saw that Lin Ao looked as though he'd taken a heavy blow. He'd wanted to ask what was going on. Lin Ao had been watching through the binoculars for half an hour, and now he suddenly looked terrified.

Was he catching someone cheating? No, who could his young master be catching? Could it be the master? Surely not! If Madam found out, wouldn't the master get snipped?

While Uncle Zhang was still letting his imagination run wild, Lin Ao's weak voice came from the back seat.

"Let's go home~ Uncle Zhang!"

Lin Ao sat in his room, still unable to recover.

He couldn't understand how his online friend could possibly be Qin Yun.

The eldest young lady of Jianghai City's Qin Family was traditional and aloof, and never gave men the time of day. Rumor had it that she was a lesbian.

Lin Ao knew Xiao Fan had shown up at the Qin Family for a while. After that, the Qin Family had suddenly launched a commercial attack on the Lin Family, and the two families had become embroiled in a business war.

At one point, he'd clashed with Qin Yun. She'd barged into Lin Ao's company and called him a scheming villain. How could Lin Ao, a villain himself, let her get away with that? He'd fired back at her, and then Xiao Fan had appeared and beaten Lin Ao up without a word, showing off in front of everyone.

In truth, Dragon Gate had deliberately provoked the business war. As for why Qin Yun had been so furious, it was because someone had attacked and injured Elder Qin. Xiao Fan had told her that Lin Ao had hired someone to do it.

Back then, Qin Yun had trusted Xiao Fan a great deal. She was also a powerful Martial Artist, so she hadn't doubted him. Rage had surged through her, and she'd stormed over to Lin Ao's place to curse him out.

In the end, the Lin Family won the business war thanks to its solid foundations. Lin Ao got taken out at the victory banquet.

Honestly, Lin Ao had crossed paths with plenty of people more often than with the eldest Qin daughter. Sometimes, he didn't even run into her during the business war.

"Ding--!"

Fierce One: "Awooo~ I'm home~ Just finished washing up~ Didn't you want to see? Here you go~"

Fierce One: "In front of the mirror, wearing a light-blue qipao, sitting on the carpet, curvy and full, with long, slender legs and dainty white feet.jpg"

A qipao photo showing only her body, not her face. Even through the screen, her allure came through.

Lin Ao's hand trembled...

As he tapped the screen.

Awooo: "C-can I get another one?"
